Examination for draft and local business change in Wall Lake
The draft list published last week went to Humboldt for examination. About ten percent were exempt for disability and many who tried to enlist were rejected. Exemption claims reached about eighty percent. We expect around fifty percent of those examined to be exempted or rejected at the next Ft. Dodge and Des Moines exams. Wall Lake Blade reports. A deal moved W B Persons’ billiard hall to Ray Lancaster. Lancaster left for Idaho to bring back his family and assume ownership. Persons plans to relocate to Junction City Kansas near Fort Riley Army training Station. We wish him success in his next venture.

Few Great Men in Politics Sayres Prominence and War Impact
The Burlington Hawkeye argues genuine greatness in politics is rare and notes the war reshapes respect for uniforms. It praises a Greek volunteer in San Francisco who pledged all he had to join the U S Army, recounts a sailor saluting a flag, and mentions post office stamp reimbursements and timber-for-France efforts as uplift amid national strain. It also cites freight-car shortages blamed on underloading and delays rather than car scarcity, urging efficiency.
