Pecause of the scarcity of farm
labor, the President has driven
orders that "the call to tjie col
ors of men actively, completely
and assiduously encaired in the
planting or cultivation of a crop.
but who are in Oass 1 and with

call for the present. It must be
born in mind th 't this step is
taken soh-ly in the need of the
nation and not for the benefit ot
any individual.
"Then fore, while boards
should consider it a crave duty
to exetcise this power to cm
serve and augment the agricul

serve cuei'iidy the conduct of
those dtfei red and immediately
upon becoming convinced that
any person so deferred is not

or that he is trilling with the de

"All citizens should assist in
