Using Pressure
Deferment Through
Politics Not
Possible
"Warning was issuea late to-
day by Willis G. Jernigan, chair-
man of the Wood County Local
Board, Selective Service Sys-
tem, to all registrants under
the jurisdiction of that Board
that to seek deferment through
political pressuie was a dan-
gerous procedure and would
result in the future in all such
registrants seeking preferment
through such methods to lose
valuable rights accruing to
them under the Selective Ser-
vice regulations.
"The Wood County Local
Board and all Boards of the
Selective Service System are
governed in their deliberations
by six volumes of Selective Ser-
vice Regulations, and such
Regulations state, 'The entire
administration of the Selective
S?rvice Law shall be impartial
and free from any political in-
fluence. There shall be no dis-
crimination for or against any
pxermn because of his race,
♦creed, or color; or because of
2)is membership or activity in
labor, political, religious, or
other organization, or because
of his^lsocial htanding." the
chairman said.
Board members stated that
In the past certain registrants
seeking preferment in their
classifications had called on
Board members in the county
and in some instances had had
tbeir individual friends to call
«tn Board members at their
bomes or private places of
fcnraness, seeking a private ad-
judication of their individual
•tfxtes. "Such practice is con-
trary to the spirit of the Selec-
tive Service Law and is a vio-
lation of the act itself and such
persuasive methods are punish-
airie by fine and imprisonment
upon the conviction of such
persons engaged therein," Jer-
nigan said.
The Chairman pointed out
that all business of the Wood
County Selective Service Board
w conducted in the Board head-
quarters at the court house in
Qaiiman, and any person seek-
ing Te-classification or defer-
ment should so notify the Board
in writing and that upon the
receipt of such written request,
the Board would grant a hear-
ting in such case and would
adjudicate such claims in ac-
cordance with the Selective
Service regulations.

Roy D. McMillan, secretary
of the Wood County Agricul-
tural Conservation Association,
has issued an explanation of
the cotton stamp plan which
should be of interest to all cot-
ton growers in this vicinity.
The supplemental cotton pro-
gram gives farmers an oppor-
tunity to help improve the en-
tire cotton situation, but it
does not reduce the cotton
acreage allotment in subse-
quent years. It is also an aid
to soil conservation. The land
farmers take out of cotton will
be available for planting to soil
conserving and food and feed
crops.
The cotton stamps which
farmers will receive as compen-
sation for participating in this
program will be good for the
purchase of cotton goods. The
stamps will be identical with
the stamps now used under the
cotton stamp plan which is
already in operation under the
direction of the surplus mar-
keting administration. The
same general regulations which
govern the use of the stamps
under the Cotton Stamp Plan
will govern the use of the spe-
cial cotton stamps issued to
farmers under the new pro-
gram. They will be exchanged
at retail stores for any cotton
goods made entirely of cotton,
grown or manufactured in the
United States.
For planting less than the
acreage allotment in 1941 or
the measured acreage of 1940,
which ever is less, stamps will
be issued at the rate of ten
cents a pound times the normal
yield of the underplanted acre-
age in 1941. but not to exceed
$25 per family in the case of
sharecroppers, tenants, and
owner-operators. Owners of the
farms operated by tenants may
qualify for a maximum of $50
worth of stamps. Where a land-
lord received one-half of the

Ballistics Convict
Game Law Violators
Try a Monitor Classified.
At least four hunters paid
fines for illegally shooting doe
deer in the Hill Country of
Texas during the season which
just closed, despite the fact
no game warden saw the ac-
tual kills, it has been reported
to the executive serretary of
the Texas Game, Fish and
Oyster Commission at Austin.
Bullets taken from does were
sent to the ballistic experts
in the state department of pub-
lic safety and were compared
with bullets fired from guns
of the hunters wardens knew
were in the vicinity of the il-
legal kills. The matching of
bulets by scientific means
proved the downfall of the
quartet of hunters arrested in
various sections of the Hill
Country.
Three of the game law violat-
ers entered pleas of guilty and
the fourth was convicted when
he stood trial.

crop, he is eligible to receive
one-half of the stamps but not
to exceed $50 worth of ctamps.
The following is an example
of how the new program will
operate in the case of a farm-
er with a ten-acre allotment
in 1941, and who planted ten
acres in 1940, and a normal
yield of 250 pounds per acre.
This farmer, if he planted
within his acreage allotment
of ten acres, would receive full
conservation and parity pay-
ments available under the pro-
gram. However, if he wishes
to participate in the supple-
mentary program, he could re-
duce his plantings by one acre,
or have a total of nine acres.
For the acre reduced he would
receive cotton stamps at the
rate of ten cents per pound
for the 250 pounds norm«l
yield, or $25 worth. If a farm
with a ten-acre allotment had
only eight acres planted in
1940, a reduction to seven acres
for the 1941 crop would bs
necessary to earn $25 worth
of cotton stamps, if the yield
were 250 pounds of lint per
acre. He could then exchangeJ
the stamps at his local retail
store for cotton goods. The i
merchant would redeem the
stamps at face value from the t
Surplus Marketing Administra-
tion.
Regulations for the adminis-
jtration of the program by the
AAA are being drafted.

"Ain't No Justice,"
Says Deer Hunter
Dick Smith of Kerrville isn't
very happy about his deer ac-
tivities. Smith went through
forty-five days of the hunting
season and came out with a
bill of $15.75 for ammunition
and a pair of blistered heels,
but no deer.
A week after the hunting
season closed, Smith was driv-
ing his truck toward Kerrville
when a spiked buck leaped
over a fence and landed square-
ly against the right door of his
truck. The buck fell dead with
i a broken neck. Damages to
the car amounted to as much
as the hunting season cost Mr.
Smith, and he couldn't legally
keep the deer he killed.
He turned it over to the game
warden captain in Kerrville.
