-r "Fixing" or Influencing Exemption Hoard Out or Question. If by any old chance there are young men in Johnson county who are framing plans to avoid military service jn event they are called to the colors they might as well dump said plans into the middle of last month. 'Tixing or influencing the Johnson County Exemption Hoard is, absolutely out of the question Each member of the Iwiard has taken solemn oath to fulfill the duties of his important oflico to the letter of the law without partiality. And the ltoard intends to stand squarely by its oath. One attempt to "feel out" a member of the board this week failed dismally.

In view of the per sonnet of the board it is Grange any young man or his mother would imagine the board could be "llxed" or intluenced but apparently some persons are so anxious to avoid ser vice that they are willing to fake long chances in "gelling next" to a member of the board. II is to Johnson county's credit that it has a board which cannot be tampered with. No member on the board is in the least "approachable" and a young man might as well try to walk through a stonewall. Incidentally several mothers, wives and sweethearts already are giving the board a great deal of annoyance in efforts (o obtain promises of exemption for certain young ineih To all. fhe board is giving the same answer.

Each case will be handled solely on merit when it comes up for consideration. Lntil then no member of the board will commit himself. This is the square-deal for men of military age and hould be supported rather than as sailed by personal pleas for exemptions. There are relatively few- lackers of this kind in the county but even four or five can make life miserable for the board. Paul Murray Is Dead.
