NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
Under a recent ruling by the Pro
vost .Marshal General designated as
ruling No. 7, the Selective Draft Ser- j
vice Act exempts no person from mil-:
itary service on the ground of depen
dency.
Sec. 2- Provides: “Section 2 of the
Selective Service Law exempts no
person from military service on the
ground of dependency. It oifly auth
orizes the President to exclude or dis
charge from draft, those in a status
with respect to person dependent up
on them for support which renders
their exclusion of discharge advisable
It is to disturb dependents as little
as the raising of an army will permit.
Sec. 27 of the law provides that the
Provost Marshal General acting
through any person generally of spe
cially authorized to act may appeal
from the decision of any lceal board.
It shall be the duty of the Provost
Marshal General to authorize an ap
peal in all cases where certificates of
discharge has been grented under the
provisions of subdivision (h of sec
tion 20 of rules and regulations.
“(h) Those in a status with respect
to persons dependent upon them for
support which renders their exclusion
or discharge desirable ”
All who are interested will notice
that under General Rule No. 7 by the
Provost Marshal General of August
11th. 1917, there are no exemptions
on the ground of dependency except
such as may be advisable in the dis
cretion of the President.
I am the unfortunate through whom
the Provost Marshal General takes
appeals and he rules that appeal be
taken in all cases.

REGISTRATION DAY FOR
WOMEN. *
We are engaged in the greatest
war of all time. The outcome virtu
ally depends upon the affectiveness
of the participation of our country
and upon the effectiveness of that
participation rests our future as a na
tion.
It will not suffice that we merely
: end an army to fight side by side
with the armies of our allies. We
must mobilize the millions of our
people who remain behind, for such
service as they can best render. Ne
braska has set an enviable example
in effective co-operation with the fed
eral government in all things calcu
lated to further our country’s inter
est in the great struggle and no class
i f people is sacrificing more unself
i hly than the noble women of the
state. In a brief period of time thou
sands of the finest and most stalwart
young men to be found in any na
tion will represent Nebraska in the
army of our country. Nothing must
be left undone that will promote their
comfort or conserve their lives and
energies.
In order that this end may be ac
complished and the efforts of the
thousands of women( many of them
mothers and sisters of our soldiers)
I e effectively co-ordinated, I, Keith
Neville, governor of Nebraska, at the
solicitation of the patriotic women of
Nebraska, designate Wednesday, Sep
tember 12, as registration day for
women, and upon which day and date
they may register for such service as
they are willing and able to render'
throughout the present emergency. ]
The foregoing proclamation of the
governor makes September 12 the
day for all women of the state to
present themselves at the polling
places for registration for war serv
ice. Every woman is able to give some
small portion of time to relief work,
either at home or abroad. Tf she is
a busy woman she can promise one
hour a week at least, to be used in
making bandages, visiting the sick,
caring for children whose mother has
added responsibility during the war
period. An office girl can promise one
hour’s assistance each week in typ
ing. The time spent in home garden
ing can be regarded as war service if
it adds to the food conservation. The
registration cards will be kept in the
counties where they have been sign
ed and when the United States gov
ernment has calls for women physi
cians, nurses, clerks, .stenographer,
a glance at the tabulated list will
show what assisstance can be secured
from Nebraska. Two hundred thou
sand registration cards are being

THE LIBERTY LOAN CYCLE.
Through the sale of Liberty Loan
Bonds the United States is borrowing
large sums of money from its citizens,
its business men, farmers, bankers,
wage earners, merchants manufactur
ers. The government collects this
money and disburses it in two ways.
I art it expends itself and part it loans
our allies. The United States and
these other governments spent it for
American products and American la
bor and it goes back directly into the
hands of the people, the American bus
iness man, farmer, banker, wage earn
er, merchant and manufacturer.
This is the cycle . John Smith the
farmer and Thomas Brown the wage
earner each has purchased a Liberty
Loan Bond paying down the initial
payment of 2 per cent. On June 28th
they made the 18 per cent payment,
depositing the amount in their banks
and sending checks to the Federal Re
serve Bank of their district. The Fed
eral Reserve Bank collects the check
and redeposits the money with the lo
cal banks. Later the Treasury Depart
ment draws against it and the money
is again lodged with the Federal Re
serve Bank. It is almost immediately
withdrawn from the Federal Reserve
Bank either by the United States or by
some foreign government engaged in
war with Germany to which the Unit
ed States has advanced money and is
paid out for American products or la
bor. Some of it is spent for farm pro
ducts and raw material, and some of it
for manufactured products, thus going
back into the hands of American citi
zens.
Therefore the money paid in by the
above mentioned John Smith and Tho
mas Brown on June 28th in part pay
ment of their Liberty Loan Bonds may
have gotten back into their hands in
time to make up part of their payments
made July 30th.

THE TWO GLASSES
There stood two classes filled to the
brim
On a rich man’s table rim to rim.
One was ruddy and red as blood.
And one was as dear as a crystal
flood.
Said the glass of wine .to his paler
brother.
"Lets tell tales of the past to each
other.
I can tell of revels and banquets and
mirth.
For I was king and ruled the earth
For the purest and greatest souls on
earth
Stood under my spell as though struck
with blyrth.
From the heads of kings I have tori,
their crowns.
From the heights of fame I have hurleo
men down.
I have blasted many an honored name
Taken virtue and given shame.
1 have tempted youth with sip and
taste
That lias made his future bare and
waste.
For greater than any king am I
Or any array beneath the sky..
1 have made the arm of the driver fall
And driven his train from the iron
rail
I have made good ships go down at 9ea
And the shrieks of the lost were sweet
to me.
Fame, strength, genius, wealth, before
me fall,
For my power is great and over all.
Ho! Ho., pale brother, said the wine.
"Can you quote of deeds as great as
mine?"
Said the glass of water. "I cannot
boast
ur a king dethroned or a murdered
host.
But I can tell of hearts that were sad
By my crystal sparks made bright and
glad,
Of hfeads I have cooled, of brows 1
have laved.
Of hands I have cooled and souls I
saved.
I have leaped through the valley, dash
ed down the mountain.
Slept in the sunshine, dripped from the
fountain
I have eased the hot forehead of fever
and pain
And made the parched meadows look
fertile with grain.
You have heard of the powerful wheel
of the mill,
That ground out the flour, and turned
at my will.
I can tell of manhoid debased by you
That I have uplifted and crowned anew
I cheer, I strengthen and help and aid.
And gladden the heart of man and
maid,
I set the wine chained captive free,
And all are better for Knowing me.
These are the tales they told each
other.

As they stood together filled to the
brim.

SUMMER COMPLAINT.
During the hot -weather of the sum
mer months some member of almost
every family is likely to be troubled
with an unnatural looseness of the
bowels, and it is of the greatest im
portance that he be treated promptly,
which can only be done when the med
icine is kept at hand. Mrs. F.*F. Scott,
Scottsville, N. Y„ states, “I first used
Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy as much as five, years ago.
At that time 1 had a severe attack of
summer complaint and was suffering
intense pain. One dose relieved me.
Other members of my family have
since used it with like results.
