Local Boards Have Great Influence on
Actual Conditions at Home;
Boards Pick Specialists.
The local boards, created for the
administration of the selective ser-
vice military regulations, have become
a great factor in the war, both as con-
cerns the amy of America and the.

ONLY FOUR VOLUNTEERS.
The local board has so far received
but four applications for military
specialized places from volunteers in
the limited service division of class
one men. They are: W. J. Bryant,
Gotebo and C. T. Wright of Cloud
Chief, as auto drivers, Samuel A.
Ppiitt of Lone Wolf, for auto mechan-
ic, and Math R. Ward of Cloud Chief,
for clerk. The enlistments for special
service close Wednesday, the twelfth.
If sufficient volunteers do not apply
to the board for places under this call,
the questionnaires will be gone over
and a draft call made for the men
work has greatly progressed from
that originally allotted to them. ■
At first, when the working of the
draft law was hardly understood, the
boards could but act as judges of
cases with Incomplete records. How-
ever, evidence of every sort has sifted
in to the board, and the facts in re-
gard to all questionable cases have
been accumulated. With the Washita
county board, this feature has been
given particular attention, and the
board is genet-ally in possession of
more "inside" Information than\ a
questionnaire could reveal.
It has of late become self-evident men'
today by Clerk T. T. Warren of the
local board. Men are wanted for the
following places:
Locomotive Engineers.
Firemen.
Railroad grade foremen.
Railroad track foremen.

CALL LAST OF JUNE
June 24th to 29th Set as Date for En-

This county has been ordered by
Adjutant General Gipson to call sixty-
four men for army service to be en>
trained from June 24th to June 29th,
trained from June 24th to June 29h,
under call 607. Complete details of
the coming call have not been made

from this county will be sent to Cami

The list of men ti* go in this call
will be made up today or tomorrow,
it is expected, by the local board, and

should be ready to go, whether or not

Confusion and missending of mail at

point that the First Assistant Post-

RED CROSS MOVED.
The Red Cross workrooms, both
sewing and the surgical dressings,
were moved from the third to the first
floor of the'court house Friday morn-
ing. The office formerly, occupied by
Justice of the Peace G. D. Coker was
given over entirely to surgical dress-
ings and the rooms which were occu-
pied by County Superintendent Albert
Baton were given over to the other
workroom.
Justice Coker moved to the com-
missioners room on the second floor.
Mr. Eaton moved into the office which
hail been occupied by County Attorney
A. It. Ash, ^nd Mr. Ash moved to the
third floor, in the room which had
been the Red Cross work room.
This new situation gives the Red
Cross- workers thffl^aost rooms of the
court house for their purpose, and
probably the best workrooms of any
branch in the state, with the possible
exception of a few of tha large cities.
NO FINAL FIGURES YET.
Owing to the fact that Chairman S.
C. Burnette was called away by the
death of a relative last week, and the
illness of others working in the cam-

Four additional "objectors" against
whom more extensive charges will be j nor been obtained,
preferred, were not placed on trial
today. , ,
All of the defendants are, drafted
men from Oklahoma. Many of them
speak German, the majority having
German or Austrian names. Many of
them also profess the Mennonite faith,
which forbids its adherents to make
and others claim to belong to
similar religious sects.
"The defendants were dressed in

mark them as a part of the army.
"The Government spent the day in
presenting testimony Intended to show
that the defendants, after being draft-
ed under the selective service law,
persistently refused to obey orders
issued by their commanders. Lieu-
tenant D. D. Gleason, commander of
the "objectors'" battalion, which is a
part of the depot brigade, was the
principal witness.
The defense Is expected to begin to-
morrow with the presentation of tes-
timony purporting to show that the re-
ligious beliefs of the objectors ex-
empt them from the penalties provid-
ed by the articles of war relating, to
disobedience of military orders in
time of war.
The articles of war which are al-
leged to have been violated say that
the death penalty may be imposed if
the trial court deems it justil.r ble.
■This is the first case of the kind to
come to trial at any of the camps in
the United States and its outcome is
expected to furnish a precedent."
Regarding the trial, the publicity
department of the 90th division, at
Camp Travis issued the following.
the latter part of last week:
rr'e "<>f>1h Depot Brigade, C ttnp
Travis, is host to forty-five "conscien-
tious objectors" whose consciences ob-
ject to any form of labor whatevpr.
They won't put on a uniform, they
won't drill, they won't use a broom or
a shovel or drive a wagon. But they
eat. Although they have been assured
of non-combattant places in the army
of democracy, they decline to bIiow
any 9igns of industry. As a result of
their refusal to obey orders these
men are now facing court-martial pro-
oedings. There are one hundred and
twenty other men now in the Depot
Brigade who do not believe in smiting
the Hun, but. they have seen their way
clear to work for their keep while
they are in Uncle Sam's pay, and .are
making themselves useful in a variety
of ways at the war garden of the De-
pot Brigade, as wagoners, as cooks,
stable guards and the like."
Evidently ten of the men being tried
are from Washita county, as that
many have been found whose names
•orrespond exactly with the list given
in the dispatch, and who were sent
from this county to Camp Travis.
They are: Herman L. Frey, H. H.
Ratzlaff. Dave B. Schmidt, C. W. Vogt,
Adolph Wagner. L. K. Wilmeth, Johan-
nes Klassen, P. J. Quiring, Jacob A.
Ratzlaff, and Aaron W. Schmidt.
It is believed by many here that
these boys belong to the group attthe
army camps who believe that by being
stubborn enough they will be dis-
charged from army service. An arti-
cle on anothr page of this paper deals
with that question and the fact that
they will not he released.

Charles J. T. Doryland, field asslt-
ant. to the office of cereal investiga-
tions of the IT. S, Departmetn of Agri-
culture of Washington, was hero Sat-
urday. He has been making a survey
of the prevalenoe of smut In the grain
fields in this section of the state, with
'he purpose in view hy the department
of aiding the farmers of this part of
the slate in propertly treating the
seed for prevention of Buch a percent-'
a;je of loss from the disease the next
season and eventually checking it en-
tirely. The fact that the roads and
fields were too muddy during his stay
In this part of the state prevented u
very careful or extensive survey. How-
iver he reported that. Itv this county,
near Clinton, he found from four to
I en per cent of smut in the wheat and
barley fields. This was also true of
a survey near Hobart in this county.
and County Agent E. H. Houston
walked a short distance south of Cor-
lell, taking the railroad track, Satur-
day morning, and tested a few fields
they reached them. In testing
they test a hundred stalks of grain
at each of three places in a field;
ountlng bad and good stalks for the
percentage. In the fields visited
seuth of town.' proportions up to ten
per cent of absolute loss were found.
Some of the black smut In the head
of the grain gives the appearance of
■.veil filled kernels and a good yield.
Barley and wheat were both tested
here. '
There is a very simple treatment for
this disease, by spraying, which can
be obtained from Mr. Houston or by
writing the A. & M. CdHege. The for-
maldehyde treatment can be used
either on grain which is to be sown
right away or on that which is to
be stored. It is certain of results and
every farmer in the county owes it to
his own pocket book and to the -govern'
m6nt at this time to be sure of the
character of his grain seed.
In speaking of the loss by smut,
Mr. Doryland said: "Preventable
smuts destroy enough wheat every
year to make 4,000,000 barrels of flour,
oats enough to feed 1,000,000 cavalry
horses and barley and rye enough for
400,000 barrels of wheat, flour substi-
tutes. You can do nothing more pa-
triotic than treat your seed. Simple,
inexpensive, sure. For information

tion or the United State*, Department
of Agriculture. Do it now.'

of poverty or financial inability are of

It is the most tremendous cam-
paign for war needs yet attempted, as
a great apportionment is to be raised
in a single day, or half day. The
sales during the past few months, or
since the first of the year, are so
small as to be comparatively disre-

Registration affidavits are made out
in triplicate.
Ten days, or more than fifteen days
after registering, each registrant must
present herself again to the postmas-
ter when she will be given a registra-
tion card, which is a summary of the
affidavits.
Registrants are reminded by the
of a city welfare board of five mem-
bers. at its next meeting, which is on
Moti iay night of next week. This
action is the result of meetings held
at the Baptist church on Friday after-
noon and at night, when Dr. Han-
sen, of the National Welfare League,
was in charge and made splendid ad-
dresses ,on welfare topics.
Dr. Hansen was expected to appear
here Thursday night but was rained
out. He was bore the previous Sun-
day morning, speaking at the Baptist
church, and a number from here
heard him Wednesday at Clinton.
Dr. Hansen outlined the welfare pro-
gram as a national patriotic duty, a
matter of civic pride and a straight
government proposition, wKh effec-
tive arguments from every stand-
point. He said that every attention
was being paid to livestock legislation
but little to the welfare of human
beings. He emphasized the fact that
plenty of money was appropriated and
plenty of provision made to care for
the wrc"kage of society, but no pro-
vtclim made for the prevention or the
wreckage, The national army canton-
ments, lie said, were ideally planned
for the physical and moral welfare of
the men of the country, and that the
soldiers would be forced to come back
to towns and cities to an inferior mor-
and physical standard of society
when their tight was ended unless
measures were taken to relieve the
situation. His talks often touched
picture shows, carnivals and pther en-
tertainment features, with the princi-
pal idea that the picture 'show repre-
sented the moat logical entertainment
or the uge and should be kept at a
stage or highest possible moral stand-
ard—a standard fit for any home. The
reason, he said, why ttyg communities
as communities coulrl not do that
which was not to be done in an indi-
vidual manner was because of the
lack of a proper means, which is pro-
vided in the ordinance to be acted
upon by the council. The ordinance
was favorably presented to the coun-
cil, through Mayor Harvey, following
the meeting of the committee after
the Friday night meeting. The com-
mittee is appointed only temporarily,
until the matter is before the council.
Besides regulation of amusements,
the welfare program will have an in-
terest in caring for cases of needy
poor and Investigation of poverty,
care of parks, as to lighting etc., the
police duties of a city, and similar
msftters, with the purpose of prevent-
ing poverty, crime and nuisances to
the community.
Although at this time the war pro-
gram, through the council of defense,
has made much o( the work of such a
board unnecessary, there remains yet
much to be done. The committed will
be composed of two women and three
men, none of whom will receive a
