It is time now for the Woodmen
jof I' ores
I City to be planning for
their annual election of ofliccrs for
1!»1S. We understand the Clerk
of the Camp is in favor of a biff
oyster supper at that time, lb
thinks that the few members who
arc keeping the Camp alive ought
to have some extra enumeration.-
From what The Press knows of the
situation, we hazard the guess that
none of the members know what
they would get—to say nothing of
the oyster supper—in case they
were to get sick or disabled how
ever a dance can be gotten up any
time to relieve them. But there is
at least one member of the Camp
who does not believe that such a
proceedure is carrying out the
apivit and intent of the bylaws of
the society. Only a few people
realize that ''first aid'' given to a
siek or injured man is worth as
much as all of the medicine given
to bi afterward. What we was
getting at, is, we bet not a single
member, except Ven. Consul,
Banker and Clerk, know how
much money they have got in their
treasury. *,

The Press has failed heretofore
to mention the enterprise of
Messrs Lafferty & Comeau in re
building the "fences surrounding
their extensive ranch adjoining
this City. Messrs Grover Dug
ger and Will. French have
been assisting them and they
have the line on the south
side of the "Red and Yellow
Trail" down Beaver Gulch now
completed. This part of the line
has three wires, while but two
wires wiil be needed on the prairie.
The remainder of the fence will
be improved with new posts where
needed, and wires thorolv repaired
as fast as the weather will permit.

We print, the letter because much
of the "Digest" will be going the
rounds of the newspapers, and to
inyitc our Forest City readers to I
drop iu from week to week if they
want to keep up with the progress
of the war: as we shall keep them
on lile, and anyone will lie at liber-1
ty to either read them in the office:
or borrow them to take home with

"Herewith you will find the
first looiie of a wai ne.vs unci J'ea
lure service rom the Committee I
on Public. Information, prepared:
I or the week'v and .semi-weekly I
papers of the country. It will bo'
available for oailv papers, but, will
bear release date to protect the:
weekly publications.
"The service will be- mailed c-ach
week in time to reach you so it
ean be handled as early copy. It
may be used as a department under
a head similar lo the oue herewith
(which may be left standing) or
scattered throughout the paper.
"This service has been put in
operation to give weekly papers
exclusive copy and war news ma
terial, which will not have received
earlier publication in the same
form in dailies, written to- fit the
small space which weekly papers
can deyote to matter of this kind.
As the mailing list will eventually
be reduced to those papers using
the service, we would like to re-'
ceive copies of your paper if you
handle it, or a letter saying you
wish the service.
"We rill lie fflad to receive
suggestions regarding 1 his work

"The new draft is coming soon.
There are five classifications made
of the remaining men but the
quota from each county will no
doubt be taken from the first class
or the second at most. You will
not be. taken according to number
but will be classified and called ac
eording to the new order. The
new classifications will probably
make a considerable change in the
order of selection of the registered
men. The two classes which will
be called first follow:
Class fir-t—,
1. Single men withoul dependent
relatives. ',
2.
Married men (or widower
with childreu) who habitually fails
to support his family.
3. Married men dependent on
wife for support
4. Married men (or widower
with children) not usefully engag

dependent of his labor.
5. Men not included in any other
discription in this or other classes.
6. Unskilled laborer.
Class two—
J. Married man or father of
motherless children, -usefully en
gaged but family has sufficient in
come apart from his daily labor to
afford reasonably adequate support
during his absence.
2. Married men, no children,

3. Skilled farm laborer engaged
