:101 N dealing with the very large number of claims for exemption
brought forward for consideration in connection with Class 1
under the Military Service Act, it has occurred, as was inevit-
able, that as a result of false statements and difficulties put in the
way of investigation, some individuals have secured exemption
whose proper place Is in the Army.
is not the intention of the Government to allow these men to evade per-
manently their oblifiation to bear their part in the military defence of the
Country and of the Ideals for which we, erre fighting. To do so would defeat
the puma® of the Act, and cause grave injustice to men in the second class
zabcasssdrliy called out to fill their places.
ExeIIL pt(i:i:#$ Granted en False Gr r tends
IIt itrt 1t taal'eilore, proposed to scrutinise carefully all exemptions graittea1 to date
in order to separate those which have been granted on false or insufficient
grounds from those that are well founded.
With this object in view the various Registrars under the Military Service
.Aot have been instructed to issue a series of questionnaires to exempted Men.
':`hese questionnaires must be ,filled up correctly and returned promptly under
Penalty of forfeiture of exemption..fbr failure to do so.
•
Exempted Mie Who I ::ire Changed address
. t is therefore important in their own interest that all exempted amen who
Have changed their address since their exemption was granted and who have
not already notified the Registrar of such change should notify him at once.'
Under the Regulations it is the duty of exempted men to keep the (Registrar
advised of any change of address, and failure to receive the questionnaire
by reason of neglect of this duty must be treated as equivalent to failure to
return the questionnaire a£ter,.receipt.
!Mixers Urged to Assist
In many instances information has been furnished by members of the public
which has led to the cancellation of exemptions obtained by false or mis-
leading statements. Further co-operation of this character is invited. The
Government regard it as the Duty of all loyal citizens, not only to the Country,
but to the men at the front, to assist in this way in securing reinforcements
on a just and, legal basis, Correspondence of this character will be treated
its sit ctly' conniidentialand will receive the fullest iovestifpatiaiatl';'

MORE and more the Ford'ear is looked
upon by progressive farmers .as neeee-
nary farm equipment, the same as the
p ow, the hay -rake, the drill,' the mower, the
harrow and other labor and time -saving
machinery.
A farmer with a Ford car can dispense with
one or two of his horses and make the trips to
town, railway station, creamery, or to the neigh-
bours in one-third the time. In fact there is no
farm machine made that will save the busy
farmer and his busy wife se. much valuable time
as a Ford. And its so easy to take carer of -far
easier than a horse. No bed to make, or hay and
oats to get; no harnessing and unharnessing, and
no stables to clean. The Ford practically takes
care of itself. '
Ask any farmer who owns a Ford if he would
ever again try to get along without it. I
