% 1 STATUS OF MARRIED MEN UNDER THE SELECTIVE DRAFT ACT --DEPENDCE OF FAMILY NECESSARY FOR EXEMPTION. At the direct suggestion of President Wilson. Provost Marshal General Crowder has telegraphed to all Governors a supplemental emanation of regulations governing the status of married men under the selective service law. The purpose of the new statement is to clear misunderstandings which have arisen in what General Crowder describes as "a few instances." In a letter to Secretary Baker, President Wilson states his opinion that the regulation requiring local boards to establish "the fact of dependents should not be abrogated." This leaves the regulations as they * * ' are and tne suppjeuieuiai^ smwrment is designed merely to make the application of the rules uniform among all boards. While the statement regarding married men was in preparation, orders were issued changing entirely the mobilization arrangements previously made. Congestion of rail traffic and the necessity of making better provision for the reception of the men at the cantonments dictated the changes. Under the new orders 5 per cent of the white men, preferably those I 1 with military experience, irom eacn local area, will be started to the camps September 5 instead or 30 per cent. They will go in five daily detachments of equal size and from selection company organizations. The next 40 per cent will go for- J ward September 19 when the second 30 per cent originally was scheduled to go; a second 40 per cent will go forward October 3 instead of the x third 30 per cent and the remaining i c ??<inf i?in hp railed un as soon I 1 U VVUb ?? ?*. thereafter as practiciable. Local boards are directed to dis, regard order of liability numbers to some extent in selecting the first 5 per cent as men experienced, such as cooks and former soldiers, are desired. Warning is given, however, of getting into this levy by reason of his experience any man who might not otherwise have been included in the first increment of the district at all. The President says in his letter to Mr Baker: "A feeling has been expressed that, in passing on claims for discharge on the ground of dependents, local boards ought in no case, to refuse a discharge to a married man or to the head of a family. The law under which local boards act requires that, before such a discharge can be granted, dependency as well as relationship must be established. The matter having been ' 1 ' - r. :J?* represented to me rresiucm mc following are his orders thereon: " 'We ought a3 far as practicable to raise this new national army without creating the hardships necessarily entailed when the head of a family is taken, and I hope that for pMINDATK 11 ^ | a Midw* |*;>n > EQUAL TBEATMEMTIW bust TO OIL B. j HB carefulIenterpris LOAN5J SERVICE The progressive managej fact that it is founded on STONES, some of which the a if to treat ALL CLASSES ALIKE SAFETY.

The financiers all tell us the saving of money i6 a habit, natural to a few and something to be acquired by most of us?a most deserving and commendable habit, however, one which grows with acquaintance. We are inclined in this country to look at things in a large, generous way, and quite apt to despise the day of small things, or the doing of something which seems small in itself. Scarcely a column of any daily which does not tell of this or that enterprise the cost of which runs into millions of dollars. The idea of religiously putting away a dollar a week seems small in comparison, so "what's the use?" There are many also whose false pride prevents them from going to the savings bank with a dollar even* week, and who intend to wait until they have accumulated five or ten, in order to deposit something worth while. And so the weeks pass, and there seems no convenient time to part with that much, and the man doesn't save. While its purpose was not to establish a training school for savfng, the Liberty Bond bids fair to accomplish that highly desirable result. In many establishments where employes subscribed for bonds, it was arranged to have the cashier deduct the weekly installment for the bond from the pay envelope, and remit the bank where the subscription is placed. This not only saves the individual time otherwise spent in going to the bank, but materially reduces clerical work, for which no compensation is received in this case. Already most of those who Knntrht tho Knnrlo nn thp wpplrlv. payment plan have them one-fourth paid for. Soon the payment will be completed and the bond delivered. Hy that time there will doubtless be another issue of government bonds. If not, the saving habit should be continued at a savings bank. A banker studies money; he knows its i value, and realizes the possibilities of its possession. Therefore he respects the man, woman, or child who saves his money, and nothing will be farther from his mind than to regard lightly even the smallest amounts that go into a savings fund. Everyone should strive to have a bank account, especially every man and boy, be it ever so small. One loses nothing in the esteem of his employer and friends by being seen guing into or coming out of a bank. Neither does the individual lose any self-respect by being seen at a bank counter, which is more than can be said of some places. There are plenty of good banks; pick out one and stick to it; and when you are tempted to invest in alluring get-richquick schemes, go to your banker and ask his advice. It will not cost you anything to do this, and may save you a loss you cannot afford. It may safely be assumed that if this course were pursued by all of us, the money sunk in swindles, fake jnstones nsfooess; v.#* iabac i [0^ "(SURPLUS ^p??^ I Bill I ?aWMfcwMK CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT ingI modern : | $AFE6UARP5j CENT of this bank is proud of the certain STRONG FOUNDATION xtist has drawn here.
