KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM Supervisors Will Appeal to War Of­ ficials For Exemption [Harvard Herald] A plea to keep the boys and young men on the farms and exempt them from military service was the gist of a resolution passed by the McHenry county board of supervisors at its meeting at Woodstock on Tuesday. Copies of the resolution will be for-, warded to thirty or forty county clerks in the great dairy district in the hope that boards of supervisors will take similar action to the end that the provost marshal and Mr. Hoover, food conservator, will be made known of the existent situation in the dairy section of Illinois. Copies of the res­ olution will also be sent Mr.'Hoover and the provost marshal. The resolution passed by the board in relation to seeking exemption from army service of young farmers printed in full as follows: Whereas, McHenry county is locat? ed in the greatest milk producing dis­ trict in the United States; and Whereas, Owing to the fact that nearly every farmer in said county is actively engaged in the production of daiiy products and that said f; - - • are now equipped and supplied with all the sanitary equipment and condi­ tions necessary to the successful op­ eration of said farm; and Whereas, For more than three years past the dairy districts have been depleted by exorbitant -wages offered and paid in manufacturing industries, and at the present time the help question ofi^dairy farms is in an alarming condition owing to such shortage of help; and Whereas, Practically all of the help that remains in said district are the owners and the sons of said owners that are of dependable and permanent help on said dairy farms, that by vir­ tue of their experience have become expert and efficient dairymen; ahd Whereas, The operation of the se­ lective draft has already threatened a serious reduction in the now already scant supply of dairy hands and also the reduction in the production of milk on farms in the great dairy dis­ trict by reason of the denial „to such help of exemption for agricultural reasons; and Whereas, A conscientious and con­ certed effort has been made in the great dairy district to secure help from Chicago and other cities that they might be educated and become serviceable in this great milk industry, but which efforts have failed; and Whereas, It appears to this board from the actual knowledge of condi­ tions that jinless farmers' sons who are willing to stay upon the farms in this and other dairy districts are al­ lowed to remain, a great calamity in that industry is bound to happen, which would be a great loss to this government in the production of this particular line of foodstuffs. Therefore, We firmly believe it to be our patriotic duty to make known these conditions to the department that has in charge the conservation of the production of this valued pro­ duct as well as the department seek­ ing the selective service that if pos­ sible the rules of exemption for agri­ cultural purposes as applied to the great dairy districts may be so changed or modified that where the necessity exists for such help the dairyman may be exempted, where, under the rules as they now stand, his exemption is denied. All of which is respectfully sub­ mitted for your conscientious consid­ eration. The selective army draft is deplet­ ing the ranks of farm employes and unless the young men engaged there­ on can be exempt from army service the 'dairy farm is up against a ser­ ious problem. Dairy farming differs from farming in other sections, where grain growing and stock rais­ ing are carried on, and for that reason the class of help is different and it is more difficult to fill theii- places. \y K Eleven Share in Fund for Blind Eleven McHenry county residents are beneficiaries of the so-called fund for the blind, a state law making a provision that aids in the support of blind people.

Where the income of a blind person is less than $250 a year it is incumbent on a county to make an allowance of $150 a year. Shall Boot-Leggers Leave Jail? Staters Attorney Lumley appeared before the board in relation to a number of matters, during the course of which he lasked for an expression as to the a^ude of its members toward a coterie of boot-leggers and blitt^ig&ers who are serving time the county jail for violations of local option law.
