"Farmers certified on the draft lists should be given all possible help in ;the harvest," is the way the district board looks at the matter. . Many of the younger farmers are claiming exemption because of the crops that have not been harvested as yet. These men, aie given a fur- lough by the district board until De cember 1 when they will be called for service. ' "Threshing outfits and farm hands should work for these men first, that thej -may get their work finished : farmers are Jiot .looking for charity to get thcirwork done but are willing to pay good wages. The question is to' get men to do the work.' ( : In cases where a man owns a farm, does the work on it and is supporting .

The majority of the claims are coming from farm hands, however, and the iwork that they do can be done by someone else as well as not S'6 appeals for dependents have come before the board in any of the counties that have been certified, but in some of the districts these appeals -will be heavy. . Wednesday noon the board had certified the men for service from Dodge, Howard, Arthur. Madison, Kimball, Knox and Garfield counties ua .rtrri rn the anneals from J'latte, Kimball and Valley counties. ; Five farmers were allowed coemp tion in the lists certified.

Light claims in this county were refused.

Joseph Krockr, Frank J. Mareah, Smith asserts he was not in that vi cinity, but was half a mile west. Mrs. Blinn is positive Smith is the man to whom she gave some food. Directions Vague. Chief Dcmpsey then led Smith to the road he insisted he had taken, but 'his ideas of direction were so vague, police say, and his answers so inconsistent that detectives are positive he was not in that locality. After taking Smith over a numbeV of roads which at first he would say he recognized and then deny having seen the party finally came to a railroad bridge at Forty-third and Cuming which Smith claims to have passed under. Going east an Cuming to For tieth street, he says that he turned south on Fortieth street as far as Joslyn's castle, where he questioned a man about the closest direction to town. The man directed hiin to go straight down Davenport street, but after walking as far as Thirty-ninth street Smith declared that he did not think he went down Davenport atreet but thought li'e saw streets cars some where around. Farnam street also proved to be totally unfamiliar to him and after standing a few moments there he finally asserted that he didn't know what direction he walked, but that he got down town somehow and was at the Midway Saturday night.' Because of his alleged inability to remember the line of travel, detec tives say they art positive that Smith is Kuiltv of the Nethaway murder and perhaps of the muxder of Mrs. Catherine Anderson because ot tne similarity of the methods employed in both crimes. A dozen negroes have said they saw Smith at the Midway Saturday night, but at what particular hour they are unable to ttell. "It was some time during the night that I saw him, said Sara Banks, habitue ot the Midway, "but whether it was 12 clock or o o dock or v ociock, i can't say." Information has been receiver! that Smith is an ex-convict from a Kansas penitentiary. Inquest Delayed. Inouest 'and investigation In the murder of Mrs. C. L. Nethaway, will not be held until Sheriff Clark's forces and the police have gathered every bit of evidence available. County Attorney Maguey an nounced this afternoon that the in quest will be unusually thorough and win not ocgin until uuiu county nu city authorities have made exhaustive investigations for clues that will help solve the second of the two .worst murder horrors in Omaha's history. The inquest was set for this fternoon at 2 o'clock, but it is not ikely it will be held for several days. Charles smith, negro suspect, against whom both police and sheriff's force are trying to make a case, is in close confinement in county jail. t The announcement in an afternoon paper that Smith was about to make as a fake by Sheriff Clark's men.

The senate worked on the war tax bill today under an agreement to dis pose of the publishers' tax provisions before night, while finance committee leaders perfect their proposed com promise on the war profits taxation. It was planned to take up war profits immediately after disposal of the pub lishers' tax features. There remained today for disposal the proposed 5 per ceut special tax on publishers' incomes and increases in second class mail rates, with .pros pects that both would be stricken1 out. The senate yesterday, by a vote of 39 to 29, eliminated the provisions for a 1-cent increase in letter postage, but retained a provision for free post age on letters mailed by American soldiers abroad .

With a fractured rib, his chin badly cut, and possible internal in juries, as a result ot an auto accident in the George Brandeis car-Tuesday near Casevs fa.. T. D. Weaver. secreX tary for Ak-Sar-Bcn, passed a restless night at his home in Omaha last night. It was late when he was brought home on the train from Casey, lay and doctors were unable to determine the first night whether there are internal injuries of any con sequence or not. Harry Bosworth, brother-in-law of George Brandeis, also received some bruises and facial cutst In the George Brandeis car, Mr. Brandeis, Mr. Bosworth,31r. Weaver and a chauffeur were orr the way to Des Moines to attend the state fair. Near Casey, la., they came upon the brow of a hill and there collided with the car of M. S. Moats of Missouri Valley. George Brandeis was driving. On Wrong Side of the Road ' The Moats car was hugging the left side of the road. Th" tJrandeis car was on the right side which brought the two cars to approach each other head on. In the emer gency, Mr. Brandeis veered to the left to avoid the collision. Moats at the same time swung to the right. The next instant, his- car had taken a hind wheel and part of the body off the Brandeis car and had shaken up the occupants to a considerable ex tent. Mr. Weaver fainted when his rib was crushed, and when he came to he insisted he had been thrown out of the car. Others, however, say he was npt thrown out of the car, but merely thrown about from side to side. People passing in other cars stop ped and patched up the wounds of the injured. Mr. Brandeis "and Mr. Bosworth returned to Omaha inan other automobile, while Dr. W.T. Duncan of Casey, la., brought Mr. Weaver in on the train. , .:.-.::: - I So The le I Know - A Call to , Your Grocer will bring a v packages of - GraptNuts ' A delicious, healthful food arid a pleas- v bg lesson . in 5 - ' economy.
