' r Any Direct,, Evasion or Untruthful ness In Filling Out Qujestloiuuiire Punishable by Imprisonment See Advisory Board. Deputy Sheriff Raffety, who ' has charge of the mailing out of the ques tionnaires, announced this morning that there is still a shortage of "cover sheets" which will delay the completion of the questionnaire work. However, a supply is expected to arrive soon from the adjutant general's office. Questionnaires numbers 246 to 328 inclusive went forward to the registrants today. - Several questionnaires1 have been returned to the exemption board headquarters and numerous mistakes have been detected and again the draft board urges all registrants to submit their questionnaire to the advisory board, 211-.2 Perkins building. No official information has been received as to just how many men congress will see fit to call under the selective draft system. Therefore it is not known how many men Doug las county will be required to fur- nisn. However, it is safe to say mat the rumor circulated to the effect that 3,000,000 men will be called to fill the next quota is merely a suppo sition, no person at this time know ings what ' the department has in mind. Every draft registrant must an swer his questionnaire truthfully and without evasion. Untrue an swers or concealment of informa tion required by tho government will result in prosecution. On the other hand, draft regis trants may rest assured that the personal questions they are obliged to answer in regard to their domes tic and business conditions will be seen only by the proper authorities. Members of local and district boards are forbidden under severe penalty from divulging such information. The government requires the most personal and detailed answers in the questionnaire because on the infor mation thus given, supported where necessary by affidavits of other persons, will be based the classifica tion of each registrant. As a deferred classification is equivalent to a temporary exemption or discharge, it must be plain to ev ery registrans why false answers, de signed to place the registrant in one ot the deferred clasess, will be strictly aealt with. In this connection an official warning that should be carefully not ed by every draft registrant has just been issued by Clarence L. Reames, United States attorney for Oregon. This warning says: "In connection with the filling out of the questionnaires, word has been received from the attorney general to trosecute vigorously tnose who make statements therein that are false. "In view of the fact that false statements in support of claims for exemption or deferred classification constitute a grave menace to the fair and equitable enforcement of conscription, we have been request ed to give wide publicity to the fact that such material false statements, even when the facts have been dis torted only slightly, will be promptly prosecuted. "Attention should be further di rected to the fact that all exemptions and discharges made prior to noon on December 15 will thereafter have no validity, andi to the fact that every person who has registered and is not yet in military service is required to fill out a questionnaire. "This must be sworn to and is in tended as a' complete inventory of his domestic condition and industrial and educational qualifications. "The punishment provided for those who fail to return the ques tionnaire, or to appear for physical examination, or to report change of status, permits imprisonment for one year." Even though a registrant is per fectly sure he understands all that is require, in the questionnaire, for his own protection he snould consult one of the members of the various legal advisory boards for advice. This legal advice is free. Questionnaires are now being sent out by local boards at the rate of five per cent each day, except Sundays and legal holidays, until all are sent out. CARD OF THANKS.

' Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, Btrenked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by the addition of other ingredients, costing about 50 centd a large bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. ) While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful anpesx ance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, takimr one small strand at a time; bv morning all gray hairs have disappeared. , After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, v glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years ! younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur i Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. I It is not intended 4br the cure, mitigation or prevention of diesase. AIR A FRIEND IN NEED A friend in need is a friend in deed, and how you can tell is to accommodate him in time of his need, and then a little later ask him for it back in return. And that is' what I have done is to give credit to many a man and now I am going to ask them in return to come and pay their bills in full not later than December 25 this month, as that Is the time that I need the "mon" to ray my honest bills, and all of my friends that will cpme to this call will be marked "true blue," and all that fail to answer this call will be classed as bums for their friendship is one-sided, and he is liable to take the bankrupt law that his wife may wear $1.75 stockings, 1 and that is something rotten. Now, kind friends, this call is to you all that owe this man, D. J. Jarvis and. we must have it not later than the 25th of the present month. d25 D. J. JARVIS.
