WAR BABIES ARE NO DRAFT EXGUSE OMAHA APPELLATE BOARD SAYS STORK NO GROUNDS FOR EXEMPTION. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 30. The stock bringing war babies is no cause for exemption of men married since the draft; tlie First district appeal board announced today. In such cases, it was declared, the stork collides with the fixed rule of the government that a selected man cannot acquire a dependent and thereby gain exemption. "The acquirement of a wife or child or any other dependent after the draft will not result in exemp tion," said Chairman Douglas Cones of the appeal board. A drafted man, married one month ago, who asked exemption on ac count of the stork, was certified for service by the board today. Local exemption boards have re leased several men fcr this reason, but they will be held by the district board. Appeals of others whose claims were rejected by local boards will be dismissed. Conner G. Osborn of North Platte, father oft two children, one three weeks old, exempted by the board, sent a telegram today saying he had made arrangements for support of his family and that he will be "ready and proud to go."

FACTS CONCERNING THE PLATTSnOUTH STATE BANK We are informed that certain peo ple are spreading the report that the riattsmouth State Bank is owned in part by parties in control of the oth er banks In this city, and in the near future will be consolidated with one of them. This is an absolute falsehood, as no man actively connected with any other bank in this city has a single share of stock in this bank. The statement is also being made that certain changes will soon be made in the management of this bank, and that Mr. Roberts is to re tire from the bank, which statement is equally false.
