Necessary Occupations
are Defined
Tho exemptions on account of oc
cupation which are granted under the
selective service law are explained
In tho current Issuo of tho Oregon
Farmer, as follows:
When It conies to exemptions on
account of occupation of tho young
man under the selective drnft, section
80 of the regulations prescribed by
President Wilson, Novembers, 1917,
says:
"It Is tho Interest of the notion
solely that must be subserved. The
Interest of Individuals can not be con
sidered us such and can only benefit
from tho action of district boards
whore tho individual interest hap
pens to colncldo with the Interest of
the tuition; and, furthermore, tho
succoss of the nation's military op
erations is the dominant object to
which this conservation of certain In
dustries is related ns one means to
Hint ond." ,
In this connection tlio following
part of rule 17 will be of Interest:
"A particular Industrial or agri
cultural enterprise shall be found to
bo necessary only when It Is shown
of such ontorprlso that It is a well
condtii'tod and going concern, con
tributing substantially and materially
to tho military forces, or the maln
tonnnco of tho national Interest dur
ing emergency, and, further, of a
particular agricultural ontorprlso;
that It Is apparently producing an
appreciable amount of agricultural
prodttco ovor and above what is
ncessury for tho maintenance of thoso
living on tho placo." '
Tho 'following definition of tlio
word "nocessnry" ns applied to the
roglstrant Ib given In rule 18:
"1, Thnt tho registrant Ib actually

"2. That the removal of the regis

stantial, material loss and detriment
to the adoquate and effective opera
tion of the enterprise to a degree
proportionate to the Importance of
the capacity recited in the rule.
"3. That the available supply of
persons competent in the capacity re
cited In the rule is such that the reg

rapacity without direct, substantial,

trant has been engaged in tho capac
ity. "2. Tho nnture of claimant's study,
training and experience.
"3. The actual condition which

MOTHERLAND
ED GROSS GOES
FAR OVER QUOTA
REPOPwT TODAY SHOWS
2723 MEMBERS.
County Hon Nearly 1IO Per Cent of
Number Allottetl More Keports
Yet to Come In Will Increase
Total Figures Given.
Final returns on the Deschutes
county Red CroBS membership drive
cannot be compiled for at least a
week, according to H. A. Miller, man
ager of the campaign. Mr. Miller is
now collecting reports from the var
ious workers but because of their
number and the distance many of
them live from Bend the work Is
slow.
Actual enrollments now reported
to the local headquarters amount to
2723, or nearly 110 per cent of the
county quota.
Other reports still to come in will
undoubtedly bring the final figure
well over this amount. In this con
nection, Mr. Miller requests that all
workers turn in their reports at once.
The Red Cross campaign in Des
chutes county was probably the best
organized of any of the war drives
yet made here. Mr. Miller's organiza
tion covered every part of the county
and was Jntended to leave no resi
dent unsolicited at least once. Prob
ably the most intensive work was
done in Bend where a house to house
canvass was made. In addition the
men at the mills were given an oppor
tunity to Join by workers who saw
them in off time and a number of
memberships were taken at the Red
Cross booths. Superintendent F.
Thordarson had charge of the booths.
The Four Minute Men were also
used in the campaign under the di
rection of A. Whlsnant, chairman of
that feature of war work, talks being
made at the two picture houses by
Mr. Whlsnant and R. P. Mlnter.
