him with the Anglican belt shoulder

LARUE COUNTY
HOLDS RECORD
FIRST 1872 MEN PASSED-NONE
CLAIMED EXEMPTIONS-QUO-
IA MADE UP.

They are still raising men in La
rue county, Kentucky, where Abra-
ham Lincoln was born. Not a single
man there failed to pass the physi-
cal examination or claimed exemp-
ton from the National Army draft
for any cause, and the county's rec
ord is perfect up to date.
Larue county's quota for the Ma
tional Army was 132 men. Exactly
1872 men were examined and every
one proved satisfactory from both
the physical and patriotic stand
point. They were all lank, lean and
lively, just like Lincoln, and all will
ing to fight that Government of the
people, by the people and for the
people shall not perish from the
EARTH"
1t appears from the records in the
office of District Board No. /, of the
Western District of Kentucky, in
session here that everybody called
in Larue county answered without
delay and that all made good. 1t is
presumed that a double quota was
summoned for examination, as or
dered, but the second batch of 132
men had their trouble for nothing.
1t seems that if 132 men are needed
to defend the country, and the Gov
ernment goes to Lincoln's old home
to get them, it is only necessary to
summon jus that number Of men.
Married Men Included.
The records received by the Dis
trict Board show that married men
were included in the list of accepted
registrants. They also show that
none of the married men from La
rue county objected to being includ-
ed.

knocked off work for the day about
thirty minutes before. Messrs. Sloss
and Campbell were so absolutely
completely and totally nonplusseC
that they had no more work left ir
them.
This is what they saw in the docu-
ments before them:
One list of 1872 names, each one
the name of a soldier, the serial
numbers beside each name coming
in exactly the order in which they
were drawn out of the glass globe IL
Washington.
Mr.. Sloss looked at the document
and passed them over to Mr.. Camp

rubbed his eyes, and passed then
back to Mr.. Sloss. Then looked a.
them together and concluded there
was no mistake.

Some Advice on Building and Fitting
Up a Practical Garage.

Up a Practical Garage.
"The size of the garage depends upon
the size of the car it is to be used for"
says c. II. Claudy in the Woman's
Home Companion. "a convenient size
for most ears is IA by 1S feet. This
will usually give plenty of room to
work around the car. Shelf room Is
essential and should be all along one
side. seven feet high and one foot
wide. On the other side have plenty OF
nails for hanging things on. At the
rear end. above the door, have a shelf
wide enough to hold spare outer tires.
At each rear corner have a three cor
nered closet FOR old clothing, etc. At
the front corners have several three
cornered shelves set In.
"A workbench is an essential fea-
ture. This should be built near win
dow, so that there will bssabundance
Of light. Make the work bench of two
inch boards and have 1t as large as
space will permit. Do not have the
supports, or legs, come down straight
to the floor. as they will be In the way,

drawers to slide under the bench for
holding nails, tools, etc. A tool chest
of common and useful tools under the
bench is a good friend. Have two
electric light extensions; also a hand
electric searchlight.
"a life saving equipment is length
of garden hose that will fit over the
exhaust pipe of-your engine When
the engine is running, with doors and
windows shut. tit one end Of the hose
over the exhaust pipe and put the other
end outside through a hole previously
made for that purpose. This may pre-
vent you from being asphyxiated, as
the gas from the exhaust is very poi
sonous and has been known to cause
