EXEMPTION
County's Quota for the First Draft is Secured
From First 560 Men, With Goodly Num
ber as Reserves Some Married Men Fail
to get Exemption Appeals to District
Boards can be Taken Only in Cases Where
Exemption Claims Were Denied by Local
Board.
Cleveland County Exemption
gL ir.;. it public yesterday at noon
t(u :;i:!'.- 'f Cleveland county
n. wh-.-f i.anu'S have been certified
fur army duty ami the first third of
th:.' r.umUr will be called on to re
ji,,!'. a:!il g' i' ti' some training camp
on Svi'H'mber "th.
Tr." t-:rd has been workfcg day
ar, : r.ight ar.d .secured the county's
j under the first draft from less
thar. "i'1' men. While a call has been
bfjc'l fur 1'iO more men to report for
,hvMcai examination on Monday,
Auitim -!,th, these men who are ac
( i will not be required to report
un!ir the first draft.
In the list of 212 names below ap
pear many married men who have
been selected under the ruling of
Pr.ve.st Marshal General Crowder
that married men are not to be ex-ou.-ed
where there is no reason to be
lieve that their dependent will be
come a charge on the governmnt. In
other words if the minimum pay of a
soldier which is $30 a) month is
thought to be enough to support the
dependent wife of a soldier, exemp
tion ha- been denied him, because he
will be expected to support said wife
out of the pay he will draw while in
the seniie. In cases where the Graft
ed man has enough property, the in
come from which will support his
wife, exemption has been refused.
Whether men who have a wife and
child or children appear in this list
or r.ut, The Star is not informed, but
should they appear it is no doubt due
to the fact that the board finds that
the family has enough to live on with
out the husband's mental or physical
labur and will not become a charge on
the eovemment or any one else when
he leaves.
The county's quota under the first
draft is 183 men but the government
requires that at least ten per cent
more than the quota be drafted in or
der that there might be reserves to
fill in vacancies that might occur.
Exemptions Denied
In the list below is divided into
three sections, those who (1st) pass
ed physical examination and filed
claims for exemption on the ground
of having dependents, (2nd) those
who passed physical examination and
heir? single and with no exemption
claim to make and (3rd) those who
ere summoned for physical examin
ation and failed to appear after due
wl sufficient notice had been given.
The list below is final for the first
draft except in two instances. Those
under the head "exemption claim re
fused" can appeal to the district
hoard. Notice that an appeal is to
he taken must be filed within ten days
from yesterday. Appeal might be
made on the ground that one has de
pendents or on the ground of his oc
cupation. Then in the second in
stance, some men in the three lists
below might be turned down on phy
S1d examination after they reach
camP- When they reach camp, a
mre rigid examination than was giv
en by local doctors, will be given by
"m.v physicians, and it is possible
; a few ,.f the men below might be
back home as physically unfit.
' 'wo reasons, more than the
county , rim quota of 1S3 men has
'ii eall.Vi. to make sure that there
" be .nouh after those found phy
lea.iy ur,it are weeded out at camp
a u'r what appeals, if any, are

Strother-Roberts Invitations
The following handsomely engraved
invitations have been received in tiie
city by the numerous friends and re
latives of the groom-elect:
Dr. and Mrs. W. J. Strother
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Elizabeth French
to
Mr. Rufus G. Roberts
on Wednesday evening, August the
twenty-ninth
at half after six o'clock
: at St. Stephen's Church
Culpeper, Virginia
Mr. Roberts is the eldest son of
Mrs. Eliza Roberts of this place, but
has been making his home in Virgin
ia for a number of years where he is
editor of the Culpeper Exponent. He
is a young man of exceptionally
bright parts and is widely popular
In his own home state and Virginia.
His approaching marriage to Miss
Strother, ore of Virginia's most ac
complished and charming daughters
Will be a source of keen interest to
his many friends here.
Since the1 receipt of this invitation,
the date of the wedding has been
moved up to Aug. 2."th, because of
the fact that the groom who has been
made 2nd Lieut, in the army at the
training camp at Fort Myers, has
since been notified to report for mili
tary duty at Petersburg on Aug. 28,
the date first named for the wedding.
NO PEACE YET
Seems That Germany Must First be
Driven Back Before Discussion
Opens.
Washington, Aug. 14. Pope Bene
dict's peace proposals were not unex
pected to the United States nor to
any of the entente allies.
The possibility of a peace move was
discussed with British Foreign Minis
ter Balfour and Vice Premier Vivani
when the British and French official
missions were in Washington, and it
was agreed that all the allies, includ
ing the United States should refuse
to discuss peace terms while Germany
occupied the territory she had taken
by force, and thereby avoid what
the allied statesmen considered a Ger
man trap.
Now the pontiff's proposal presents
the question in a somewhat different
light, difficult perhaps to meet, be
cause it offers to a war-weary world
a hope for peace.
Germany and her allies are expect
ed promptly to accept the pope's pro
posals.
American officials acknowledge that
the Vatican's proffer is of a nature
calling for a reply. Diplomats of the
entente circle voice nothing but a
unanimous opinion that it will be re
jected. American officials realize that
a convincing reply is required for the
world's page of history. That the
proposals cannot be accepted as they
stand is certain. That they will not
be accepted at all is probable.

.i
The Supreme
Question
(Written for The Star by S. M. Da
vis of Caroleen.)
That question with a number of
Bible readers today is why does a
God of love permit a war of hate in
a world that He has made and re
deemed, and that He loves? And the
first answer to the question is. it is
not expected that we solve all the
old and new problems, of our faith.
Rut we can trust God in this matter
as in all others for He has made no
mistake in creating free moral ag
ents while He foreknew all the his
tory of the race and the consequences
of the fall of man. Our wise crea
tor, redeemer and benefactor did for
the best, the best for His glory and
for our eternal happiness and good.
A few years ago the nations now at
war were living in peace; and at the
same time a floodtide of sin and suf
fering covered the earth; and if we
base our faith in God upon the exis
tence or non-existence of evil there
was as much reason to doubt in tim
es of peace as in war times. In the
tragedy of the present, there is noth
ing new, nothing to raise new ques
tions of faith in God. It is a fresh
expression of sin, (if fearful magni
tude, that has been in the world since
the first sin and the fall of man.
From the Bible we learn of the love,
mercy and compassion of God through
the death of Christ. Yet the Bible
does not teach that Christian people,
followers of the Christ shall be ex
empt from suffering and death. The
opposite is taught. "All who live
Godly in Christ Jesus 3hall suffer.
If Christian people of Belgium or of
our own country are called to suffer
and to loss, our faith in God should
not be shaken. St Stephen, in the
torturing hands of theft cruel mob did
not break down in his faith, but
stronger than he had ever been in his
religion, he looked up into the very
door of heaven and beheld the glory
of the Lord and saw his Christ stand
ing in triumph on the right hand of
God. The same conquering Christ
says to us these dreadful war times,
'Be of good cheer. I have overcome
the world."
After all, whatever happens to us
in this little world, during this short
lifetime, is of small importance when
placed in comparison with the reali
ties of the eternal world to which we
hasten. In war or in peace, the na
tions of the earth will learn in a few-
years that God intends that this
World 6hall abide until implements
of warfare shall be beaten into farm
ing utensils, and the nations shall
learn war no more. In the creation
God made a good world and it will
stand until it becomes altogether
good if that be a million years long
er. We Caroleenites who are Shelbyit
es rejoice in the prosperity, peace and
patriotismtour noble Cleveland and
Shelby ladiel and gentlemen. And
we are glad that during these war
times, dark and bright days; the
Cleveland Star not only twinkles but
it shines.

READY TO TAKE O
VER WHEAT CROP
GOVERNMENT CORPORATION
WITH FIFTY MILLION DOL
LARS WITH MR. HOOVER AT
ITS HEAD TO BUY AND SELL
WHEAT CROP.
Washington, Aug. 15. The food
administration prepared today to take
over the entire 1917 wheat crop if
necessary to stabilize prices through
out the year. It formed a fifty mil
lion dollar corporation, with all of
the stock held by the federal govern
ment to buy and sell wheat at the
principal terminals.
The move was the first of a series
to be taken to reduce the price of
bread. Millers already have agreed to
put themselves under voluntary regu
lations and are working out with the
food administration a differential of
profits. Distribution of flour by the
wholesalers and the baking of bread
will be taken up next.
The hope of the food administration
is to established a scale of prices from
the farm to the grocery store, elimi
nating undue profits and ending spec
ulation.
In announcing formation of the
wheat corporation, the food adminis
tration also has made known the per
sonnel of committee which will fix a
price to be paid for this year's wheat
yield, and the names of thirteen men
who will act as purchasing agents for
the corporation at terminals.
The wheat corporation will be put
under the administration's grain di
vision. Its chairman will be Herbert
Hoover and its president Julian
Barnes, a Duluth exporter, now serv
ing as a voluntary aide in the food
administration. The price-fixing com
mittee will be headed by President
Garfield, of Williams college and will
comprise twelve members, represent
ing producers and consumers
Allied Grain Purchase!
The wheat corporation will handle
all allied grain purchases and will do
the buying for the American govern
ment. The allies will be required to
purchase flour instead of wheat on
the theory that manufacturing costs
will be reduced and American indus
ry encouraged.
All of the grain men who are taken
into the food administration's grain
divisions will disassociate themselves
from business interests and give their
entire time to the government with
out remuneration.
"These men," said Mr. Hoover, "are
making a magnificent sacrifice and
many of them are giving up large in
comes." Authority to license grain elevators
and milling concerns was given for
mally to the food administration to
day in a proclamation by President
Wilson. Mr. Hoover hopes that op
eration of the licensing system will
make unnecessary any extensive gov
ernment purchases for the allies. He
believes a stable export price and
proper supervision of exchange deal
ings will do more than anything else
to keep prices on a constant level.
Held Great Conference
More than 100 representatives of
boards of exchanges and elevator sys
tems came to Washington today for
a conference with officials on the
government's plans. At the end of
an all-day meeting they issued a
statement approving the food admin
istration's proposals.
No plans have been made for grain
purchases by neutral countries, al
though it is likely all will be re
quired to buy through the food ad
ministration. This will give the gov
ernment a close check on purchases
and will aid the exports council, to
which applications for grain exports
must be submitted. Just now no food
of any character is leaving the United
States for the European neutral coun
tries, but some will be permtted to
go as soon as the countres concerned
have supplied full data as to their
needs.
Withrow's Feast at Hollis
On last Saturday night the genial
merchant and representative in lhe
General Assembly from Rutherford
county, Mr. J. P. D. Withrow, gave
an ice cream supper to me uitc
Sm-ines Sunday school pupils. About
400 were present and they all enjoy
ed the hospitality of Mr. Withrow at
which time Revs. Mr. Powell "and
Mr. Sanky Blanton talked on the Red
Cross cause and its work. Mr. Jim
mie Withrow who was here yesterday
to buy an automobile says no funds
were solicited for the Red Cros3 at
this meeting, but the people are
ready to give when called upon.
