A Waste of Postage It is only n waste of postage, letter paper and time for a man whose claim for exemption from the draft on industrial grounds hns been denied by his district exemption board, or for any of his relatives or friends to write to his Senator, or his Congressman, or the Pro vost Marshal General, or the I'rosidont of the United States, trying to have the ruling of the board reversed. Strange as it may seem, a great many such letters have been written. They have poured in by hundreds and thousands to officials at Wash ington. Some of them have come from Oregon. These let tors will do no good whatsoever. They will not even be consider ed, but will be returned to the sender. If a man having real grounds for appeal wishes to prejudice his case beforehand, the surest way for him to do is to write to his Senator, or Re presentative, or to sec some ofllcial in Washington to use his "influence" toward fixing up the exemption. There is just one procedure whereby an up poal may be taken to the Presi dent from the ruling of a dis trict hoard. That is through the district board itself, in the manner prescribed by official regulations. It must be re membered, however, that only one class of cases can be appeal ed to the President from the district board. These are cases over which tho district board lias original jurisdiction; that is to say, cases thut originate before the district board, and not with one of the local county oxomntioii boards. The only chkoh over which district boards have original jurisdiction are those involving claims for ex- onuit on on the irrounds of em nlovmont in a necessary Indus try, including agriculture. No claim for exemption on Ithe ground of dependency can no annealed to the President under any circumstances. The deci- Kion of the district Hoard in witch cases, on which it sits as un niiDollale board, is Until. ' lini'i iu nn rnHlinr minimi. I ho to ow nir summary of reirula lions made by the President to iroverii nroeeduro in all cases appealed to him, has been issu ed by the Provost Marshal Gen eral at Washington, with the ruquoHt that it be given the fill lout nublicity. "1. Hy tho regulations of the President governing appeals from the action of district hoardn. the claim of appeal imiMt bo filed with the district board and cannot be received if aunt direct to the President, the Provost Marshal General, mem Iters of Congress, or to any other place than to tiie district board tUolf. "2. Papers, evidence, and tiilidavitH not considered by the district board cannot be consid urod on appeal front the district Itonnl, "SI. The only casos in which thttro is an appeal to the Prcsi dent are casus in which a claim for discharge on the ground of oiiutiuement in agriculture or industry has been made in the district board. There is no ap poal to the President front the action of the local board In dependency or other cases whose determination is within the jurisdiction of the local Dowrd. "I. All attempts to appeal eases other than those tnvolv ing the decision of the district boNrd on agriculture or nidus trial exemptions from whatever son ice received; all allidavits, loiters, arguments, evidence, miners or oilier matter not con sidored by lite district board; all minimis made to the l'resi dent direct, or sent to any other ollicial or porson in Wash- intfton, will have to he roturned to tlu sender."- Adjutant Gen- tun!, Portland, Oregon. Era of Rebuilding "Aiier tno war win come a long era of rebuilding and rc adjustment. The nations that are fighting today will bind up their wounds unit will go forth to further conquests not of shrapnel and bayonets, but of gold." This declaration is titmie by S. W. Straus, Presi dent of the American Society tor Thrill in the current issue of the Thrift Magazine. It will be a fight for business tho world around and each nation will suc ceed in exact proportion to tho individual eihcioncy . of its eitiscens. Thoreforo, it stands us well in hand today to look to our luturo to see it we are adequately equipped for this great era of business rivalry. After the war, wo shall have a great morchant marine and WO shall be in a stronger tinnn cjal position than any nation now at war. In many regards, wo shall have a tremendous advantage over all rivals. But when it comes to tho matter of idual thrift, we shall be at a disadvantage. Amorica's re sort in all mattors portaining to individual thritt has been known throuphnut the world n.9 a nation of spendthrifts. In the ercal commercial struggle ue tu'nnn the nations of the onrt that is to follow the dawn of peace, the rigid practice of in divlrltint thrift will lift noons sary if we hope to hold our own ... il - 1.1 .-.!-! A I in una worm wiue siruggiu When we reach tho end of mili tary warfare, we shall have trninofl tho thrnnhnld nf in tor nntional business conflict. The survival of the fittest is a law of nature that never will be repealed. Peace protocols do not eliminate business rivalry among the nations of men." To Try It's Strength 0 borne wise one lias said "I count life just a stuff to try the soul's strength on." That is exactly what it Is. In order to make the most and best of them, all our faculties must be exercised, and so strengthens and developed as an the mus cles of the body; for the facu ties may well bn called the muscles of the mind. If there is something we very muc want to do, something that poricctiy right to do, nnd from which wo scorn only held back hy lack of means or op portunity, there lies our chance to exercise determination and nercverancc always with fait in that wondrous inner power which never fails us when we do trust it. A thing that worth having is worth working for; and when wo come into nossession of it we shall find dearer and sweeter for the effort it cost us. That whic drops into the hands like an over-ripe plum is rarely appro ctalcd. 1 he first thing to do to determine the obstacle trail nearest to us that whic especially needs overcoming i order lo make life brighter and happier. There may be others but it is wise to take one at time: and when tho first is pro perly disposed of, it will be easier to manage the next. In deed, as we go on, we are pret ty sure lo find that our troubl fade away of their own accori this as we cultivate the fac ulty of right thinking.
