So Declares Frank A. Kennedy
of District Appeal Board in
Talk Before Concord
Club.
. Every man who has either been ex
empted from the army draft or given
.deferred classification and who has
not purchased Liberty bonds or war
savings stamps, providing he is able,
should be forced into the trenches,
according to Frank A. Kennedy,
.member of the district appeal board
in Omaha. Mr. Kennedy addressed
the Concord club Thursday noon.
As a result of draft investigation,
thousands of men have been found
who have no other" interest in the
country than to make money,
declared Kennedy. "Where reports of
these investigations become known I
believe the spirit and patriotism of the
people is such that these men
will be kept from the polls, provided
they are enemy aliens, by force if
necessary" said Kennedy.
, "The most trying cases coming to
the attention of the appeal board are
those where claims have been made
for exemption on grounds of de
pendency, Kennedy said, and before
any action is taken the case is thor
oughly investigated by federal agents.
"No political influence has been
brought to bear on the board mem
bers except in one case and this was
disposed of summarily."

A voluntary aareement to tay.
throuch the federal food administra
tion of Nebraska, the sum of $600 to
be given the Red Cross and the Red
Star by the Fremont Milling com
pany was the penalty assessed for vio
lations of the rules and regulations
governing sales ot wneat mm ieeas.
Five hundred will be donated to the
Red Cross and the other $100 to the
Red Star. . The Fremont Milling com
pany was cited to appear and answer
charges for taking excessive profits
on bran feeds. The milling company
admitted overcharges amounting to
$300 and offered to match the amount.
"The evidence , snowea tnat tnere
was no intent to violate the rules, the
overcharge being the result of unfa
miliarity with the rules. And for that
reason thejenalty was made very
light," said Federal Food Administra
tor Wattles. "The officials are doing
everything in their power to live up to
the rules and the mistake was unior-
tunate. -
