CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10,1917 PRICE, $1.00 A YEAR AN HOUR WITH THE ROYS DURING THE EXAMINATION * * * * * * . # * * * * * » * ■ ♦ * *„* * The editor spent an hour or more Tuesday afternoon at examining headquarters at the court house. The library with ita velvet carpet and electric fans made a comfortable place for the physicians to work and a rather attractive place for the boys during the examination. The manner in which tha physi­ cians conduct the examination could not cause anything but comraenda- .tion. Each one goes 'about the work in a very quiet genteel way. There was"nothing rough in word or action that could be offensive and the man­ ner in which the boys left the room was proof they had been accorded good treatment by the physicians who were compelled to make the ex­ amination in accordance with rules provided by the war department. To correct a .wrong impression that is afloat we wish to state that no one connected with the draft organiza­ tion, .physicians or members of the board, get a cent of pay. These men have been drafted by the government for this branch of jfche service just as hundreds of yOung men will he for the array. The first orders were for four physicians, but the board finding the work, too great for the time re- ceived orders to draft two more. It has meaht these physicians have had to leave their practice and contribute their bit for the cause of democracy, not alone without pay but suffer loss o f gain in private practice. About uie only time the boys Showed nervousness was just as they stepped into the room. Here they were conducted to quarters to pre­ pare themselves for examination. Then came Die giving of their names and being weighed, DrJ Galloway filled out the first papers 'and made the preliminary examination of each man who then was turned over. to one of the other physicians. . In all it took about<an hour for each from the time he entered the room until he was dismissed. We could not help but be im­ pressed with the faithfulness in which the physicians worked, con­ scious that their work would, .be re­ viewed by a higher medical -power. There may have been mistakes made but it cannot be said such was done purposely. Before a man could be turned down for physical reasons he had to be examined by two different physicians. There would be naturally a number o f amusing events during the exam­ ination o f 160 men a day, but' these events only helped to pass the time away to those who stood in line wait­ ing for* their turn. THRESHING ABOUT COMPLETED m ow » :da$# o f 'good weather the shock threshing of wheat will kef about completed. The Oldest . resident cannot remember of a bet­ ter wheat crop than we have had this year, the quality being fine and the yield from 25 to 30 and 40 bush­ els per acre. The mice of wheat is now ranging around $2'.25, which is also; a*record breaker. .JCery & Hast­ ings Bros, have been swamped and at times had to refuse to accept more w^eati ' This was due to car short­ age. • • - The Ohio Fuel & Supply Co. has a force Of more than 200 foreigners taking up part of the old Logan gas line that was laid several years ago south of town. Marshal McLean filed an affidavit against C. C. Turner, colored, .for violating the speed law. Turner drove onto Main street off of East Xenia avenue at a high rate of speed and came near crashing into Mr, J. E. Hastings* machine which was going north on Main. Turner appeared in mayor’s court Wednesday and was fined.' - WALTER NOOKS ARRESTED, Walter Nooks, colored, charged With shooting Roy Emery with intent to kill, arrived here Mpnday morning after being absent for -some time. He was compelled to return for his draft examination and came here rather than go to Xenia, Marshal McLean informed the Xenia police and<Nooks had: no sooner arrived in Xenia than he was placed under arrest. It is said that the examining officers can go to the county jail and make the examination or the proper officers _can take-the prisoner before the ex­ amining board. SLACKER IS ARRESTED. William P, Harper, son of Casper Harper, resident o f Xenia township, Was placed under arrest Saturday as a slacker by Sheriff Jackson upon evidence furnished by the Depart­ ment o f Justice which is investigat­ ing several similar cases in this county. The hoy did not register and in­ vestigation o f the birth record* in Probate court shows the lad was past 21. The parents held this was wrong and produced a Bible which gave the aga as October 27,1836. The mother made affidavit o f the correctness of the Bible dates. Newspaper files in the auditor’s office were examined and the announcement of the birth was found to read October 27, 1895. The Officers held this positive proof ahd summoned the parents again for an explanation. When ■confronted with the evidence they admitted they might be mistaken. The action of the parents will likely place them in * close position as well as that of the son, who may be drafted into the am y Without any further notice, or sentenced fo r a term o f years to a Federal prison. The Church of God, near Spring* will hold a camp meeting Au- gu*t 9 to 19. Take the Dayton trac­ tion line and get off atAberfelda.

The grade crossing over the Big Four tracks has been eliminated by a modem track elevation.
