Before the draft for the national
army had been made and days he-lore

called upon to perform any of I he
duties of selecting the men drawn
Horace 0. Jones of this borough chair
man of the exemption board of I ho
Third distilct of .Montgomery County
of which tliis borough, West Consho-hocken
Upper Merlon and Bridgeport
are a par:, sent the above telegram
to Governor Brumbaugh as a pre(
eution *o forestall any mistake that
might occur to work an inJuBtlce to
the people of this district. While DO
reply WHS received to the telegram
it was ho]M>d it would serve its pur-pose
to 11 miii.i the Governor or the
unequaled patriotism of the people
of this district and Conshohocken in
particular.
When the Adjutant General s office
gave out the dratt for the State and
Called upon the Third district of
Montgomery County for 42:! men and
the borough of Norristown for I22meii
Norristown* ppuliulon exceeding
that of the district by at least HOOO-the
citizens became Injdljnant andi
(eel I hit they are being imposed up-on
If the figures are not changed a
rank lnjuslice will be done the yi.uili
Of this disiriel while Norristown is
shown great favoritelsm.
Mr. Jones was greatly surprised
when he read the figures and if they
are accepted Conshohocken with one
fourth the population of Norrislown
will be called upon to furnish about
106 men or only 10 le^s than Norris-town.
Mr. Jones sent the following tele-gram,
this mrqlnjg soliciting the
aid-of Lieutenant Governor McClain,
who is familiar With contribution of
•volunteers to the war, in ascertaia-
Ing how the Adjutant General's office
figured ij..dins and what credits have
been given for volunteers.
Conthchooken, Pa. JuTy 23, 1917.
Hon. Frank B, McClain,
Harrlaburg, Pa.
"Then- Is something aeriously
wrong in the published statements
of the QUOtB of men to be furnish-ed
by Montgomery county; also
number furnished by Norristown,
Hs according to these stalemeiits,
Conshohocken with its large num-ber
of volunteers and only one-fourth
the population is required
to furnish more than Norristown.
Kindly have thin Investigated
carefully before Issuing official flg-ures.

ONE WAY TO WOO SLEEP.
Travel In Momory Some Road You
Knew Well In Childhood.
It Is hard for mo fo remember now
that my knowledge of the sleepy road,
gained so many years ugo, came only
through the chance bit of advice drop-ped
By a wise, kind, weary old doctor
ns he shuffled at midnight down the
corridor of the silent hospital, says the
Atlantic Monthly.
Whatever was the errand of life or
death that had called him In such
haste, be had time to .stop and give mo
u friendly word, although I, a small
and Incorrigibly sleepless patient, was
sitting bolt Upright among the pillow's
hi defiance of ull his orders nnd was
stilling wide eyed Into the hot, pain
haunted dark.
"You think you nro never going to be
ablo to sleep again, don't you'/" ho ob-served.
"Well, shut your eyes nnd do
just what I tell you. Think of some
road that you know well, a good long
road that winds and turns and shows
you water und Woods and hills. Keep
your eyes tight shut and travel along
it In memory. Go as slowly as you
can, recall every sight and sound and
perfume as you pnss by.
"I have such a road of my own, the
one I used to walk to school when I
was eight yeurs old. I have sturted
out on it a hundred times when I
thought I could not sleep, but I never
get very fnr. I como Just about to the
old stone bridge over Damon's creek or
perhaps to the swimming hole, where
the willows dip into the brown wuter,
but I never reach the end."
Fill Out and Return
This coupon immediately to the Recorder Office, that,
proper credit may be given the noble youths who have gone
in defense of their Country.
