Without knowing the faults ot the delivery the management can not correct them. Report all failures and not in the spirit of faultfinding, but to permit ot correction. All subscribers who live In the five delivery districts in Humboldt are supposed to have their papers delivered. None will be sent through the malls except on special request.

This will continue until the present subscriptions expire. After that it will be up to the individual subscribers how they receive their papers. 300 PASTORS AND WIVES EXPECTED TO REMAIN WEEK Outstanding Speakers to Address Delegates; Public Invited.

NEW GARS LICENSED To the Chairman, County Emergency Rellief Committee: Many inquiries are being received about the enrollment of additional men for the Civilian Conservation Corps. We have been advised that all men now enrolled in the corps will be discharged as of September 30, and will be given an opportunity to re-enroll for additional six months period. After it has been determined how many men re-enroll, additional men will be selected so that all of the camps will again be filled to full strength. It IB impossible to assign county quotas until we know how many men will be needed to fill the vacancies and the number of vacancies which will exist in each county's quota. It Is suggested that you keep in mind that you probably will be called on to send a few men to the camps at some time early in October.

Then, when the call is issued you will have an idea how many you can furnish, who will meet the conditions, and just whom should be sent. As soon aa definite information is available concerning the selection ot these men, we will advise you promptly. For your own protection we would suggest that you do not ask for applications until definite Instructions reach you, although you could make a memooranda of any worthy men whom you believe would be available. Very sincerely yours, E. H.
