That is the season when every normal family wants to forget sweltering cities, party manners and all the other features of unnatural living. A tiny cottage with a ten foot garden begins to look mighty interesting for the grass is actually green, the air is pure, and there arc wonderful possibilities for a hammock and a good book. Why not break away from the "cliff dwelling" this summer. It is really quite simple. Pick out a spot not too far from the office buy your self a sturdy, dependable five-passenger car like the Paige "Linwood" and just see what happiness it will bring to you and every member of the family.

Michigan VALLEY GARAGE Ossman & McDonald CLASS 1 WEEK IS JUNE 24 FOR A "Class I Week" is to be held sometime this month bv every local draft board in Oregon, under in structions received from the war de partment and communicated to local boards by Captain John K. Cullison, ofliccr in charge of the draft, in the office of the adjutant general. "Class 1 Week" in Jackson county will be gin June 24. The purpose of "Class 1 Week" is to correct any errors in classification that may have been made perilously. In correcting these errors, many reg istrants previously placed in lower classification will he transferred to class 1. At (Ire same time, the rcclssifiea tion will work both ways. Where the evidence justifies, local boards will re-open the cases of men wrongfully placed in Class 1 and place them in lower classifications, us the cir cumstances warrant. Government appeaj agents and members of legal iwlvosory boards have been directed immediately to make a careful examination of all questionnaires and records in all eases in which they are satisfied that i e-classifieatioii should be made. Thousands of registrants are now in Class IV, the war, department be lieves who .should be. in Class II or Class I. Appeal agents are instruct ed to appeal every cast? where the re-classification not convincingly correct. "Local boards, government appeal agents and members of legal advis oary boards' Captain Cullison's in structions advise, "are requested to direct special attention to the fol lowing classes of cases: Class 2, A and S; Class 3, A JJ and C; Class -!, A." For the benefit of all these defi nitions are given: Class 1I-A: Mar ried man with children or father of motherless children where wife and children are not mainly dependent on him lor support;7I-lt: Married man without children, whose wife is capa ble of supporting herself; III -A : Man witli dependent children (not his own) but toward whom he stands in relation of parent; 1I1-H: Man with dependent, aged or infirm par ents ; III-C: Alan with dependent helpless brothers or sisters ; I V-A : Man whose wife or children arc mainly dependent on his labor for support. New standards of physical exam ination arc being issued by iho pro vost marshal general. ' These will, it is believed, not merely add to the number of men eligible for military service, but will largely increase the roster of those held for limited or special bervice. Key West, Fla.
