pay is not less than thirty dollars
•per monith and that ail clothing,
subsistence, medical treatment ainid
housing aire Xurinished to 'him.. Under
•tlie law, Ihie may allllot any portion
of Wis pay to a dependent. Mainiy
soldiers reoedrving thirty d'Oildairs per
month are easily ablte to allllot $25
00 a monith to the support of
dependents- 1m case of deathi din
i'ltoe of duty, the government wdtll
pay to the baniefiaiiairy designated
by.tihie %Widicir six monitihis pay. Sec
tion 4 of the selective service act
provides that those to a statue
with respect to persons dependent
upon them toir support which ren
ders ttoeiir exclusion or discharge ad
vtisaible may be discharged, bu't it
does not require that tlh-ey shall
be disdharged din aiil sucjh oases. The
dttsca-etioa of local' 'boards is in
voked by this provision, and such
boards may well' take the faicit de
cided above into consideration in
deoidimg abdrns for discharge due
to dependency "vvtttfh a view to de

AN IDEAL SPOT
,• One of, the best farms in
Iowa is offered because the
owner cannot work like he
used .-to. He wants to sell
and will take in exchange
a forty or an eighty acres.
It's a finely improved Iowa
farm not far from Exira.
There is a fine house and a
good set of buildings on the
farm and a constantly flow
ing well recently added to
the improvments. It is
well worth the money asked
as a much larger farm a
cross the road and not as
swell iiAproved sold for ten
dollars per acre more than
we are asking.
It is within three miles of
a 1200 town on R.F.D. and
phone. If you are looking
for a good farm we invite
your attention.
We have a town property
also that will stand investi
gation. It will suit you.
