DRAFTED MEN MAY NOT
ENLIST IN OTHER SERVICE
OLYMPIA, Sept. 1.—Provost Mar
shal General Crowder in a telegram
sent to Governor Ernest Lister today,
says that drafted men are not ex
empt from the penalty for falure to
report to ther local boards even if
they have enlisted in the army or
navy voluntarily. The government
concedes, according to the telegram
received by the governor, that the
navy department sent erroneous in
structions to ith naval recruiting sta
tions relative to this matter.
General Crowder’s telegram to
Governor Lister read:
"An erroneous instruction has been
sent by the navy department to nav
al recruiting stations, to the efffect
that persons cobid voluntarily enlist
in the navy after having been called
by a local board. The attention of the
uavy department has been called to
this error and it is being rectified by
telegraph.
“Inform all local boards that after
a person has been called he cannot
voluntarily enlist in the military or
naval service, and that such volun
tary enlistment will not protect him
from the penalty of the law for fail
ure to report to the local board.”

TOBACCO DEALERS HOLD
CHECK ON YOUNG MEN
OLYMPIA, Sept. 1.—One problem
has been solved for dealers in tobac
co by the registration law. Now when
a youth appears and wants to buv
cigarettes, cigars or tobacco of any
kind and the dealer is suspicious of
his age he merely asks for his card.
This rule has been adopted by most
of the Olympia dealers and conse
quently boys are having considerable
rouble in getting tobacco when they
are under age.
It is the first sure method that has
been found to get around trouble
when the purchaser's age is question
ed. “No card—no tobacco" is the
rule. One young man didn't happen
to have his card along when he ap
plied in a local store, but instead he
produced his notice to report for ex
amination and he got his cigarettes.
He remarked that he needed them, as
he was a trifle nervous about having
to wait around until called.

AUTOMOBILE MISHAP
ANACOKTES, Sept. 1.—Mrs. Anna

tempted to cross the street ahead of
Johnson. The former’s machine was
thrown over and the four occupants
were thrown out. Peterson was pin
ned under the machine, but was only
slightly injured, the top precenting
the car from crushing him.
, Nobody Knows
Absolute knowledge have 1 none,
But my aunt’s washerwoman’s sis
ter’s son
Heard a policeman on his beat,
Say to a laborer on the street
That he had a letter just last week
Written in the finest Greek,
Front a Chinese Coolie in Timbuktu
Who said the niggers in Cuba knew
Of a colored man in a Texas town.
Who got it straight from a circus
clown,
That a man in Klondike got the news
from a gang of South American Jews
About somebody in Borneo,
Who hear a man who claimed to
v know
Of a swell society female rake
Whose mother-in-law will undertake
To prove that her seventh husband’s
sister’s niece
Has stated in a printed piece,
That she has a son who has a friend
Who knows just when the war will
end.
