furnished by the Esmeralda county
exemption board. 1t is a duplicate
of the list posted this morning at
the court mouse as official notifi-
eaten that I ess men are to appear
b.irIe the boa:I
The names are divided into three
sections, 26 in each section. The
time set by DR.. j. l.. Mccarthy, ex-
aiming physician for the board,
for the first &c to appear is Mon
day, August 6. The second &c will
report Tuesday, August Z and the
last 26, Wednesday, August s.
The fifth day after the posting
of the notices is Sunday and the
draft law says that men shall be
summoned before the exemption
board on the fifth day, but the
board is permitted to vary this
slightly and has made Monday the
first day to report. instead of Sun
day. On each of the three days the
men summoned are to appear in
the office Of Shepiff ingalls,, in the
court house, ut 9 a. m.
Notices to all the rs men we're
mailed this morning, but the post
ing of their names at h court
house door is their official notifica-
ton and no further notice is Tequir-
ed by law.
The registration card of the third
man on the list has been sent to
Hanford, Cal, and he will be ex-
amined there. Several of the men
called to appear have enlisted, but
no notice of their acceptance has
yet been received from Adjutant
General Maurice Sullivan, although
he is expected to notify the local
board in a few days. Whether the
enlisted men will be subtracted
from this country's draft quota is
not known definitely. Recruiting
Officer Koyle stated recently that
this would be the case.
Instructions received thus far by
the exemption board from the war
department say nothing regarding
the status of men who have mar
ried since the presidents proclama-
ton, but it is believed they will be
exempted and that all men having
dependents will be exempted.
The question of exemption for
men who are in the list that fol-
lows now becomes an important n
for them. The draft law states
that within seven days from the
posting of the anne all claims for
exemption must be filed. Therefore
it behOoves men who intend to
claim exemption. or dependents who
intend to file claims for them, to
ak with Sheriff ingalls,, or De-
putty Sheriff Box, who is conver
rules. Box can be found in the
sheriff's office all day except dur
ing the noon hour.
In this connection it is well to
remember that regardless of whe-
ther an exemption claim is filed,
all men summoned must appear be-
fore the board for physical examin-
alton on the day they are called.
The filing of a claim for exemption
has absolutely no connection with
the physician examination.
Sheriff ingalls, now wants one or
more volunteer notaries public, so
hat men or their dependents desir-
ing to claim exemption may be saw
ed the expense usually incidental to
the taking of an oath before a no.
tary. To the sheriff this is import
ant, as he believes that such men
should be spared all possible ex-
pense and that as the draft law
here has thus far operated without
expense to men affected by it, the
saving of expense to these men
should be continued in the final
steps.
The draft board now wants one
male typewriter and n or more
notaries public to volunteer their
services. 1t will not only be neces-
sary for men claiming exemption to
make one affidavit, but several will
have to be made by each man and
his dependents, according to the
draft law. Forms to be filled in
and worn to before a notary may
now be obtained in the sheriff's
office.
When men appear before the
board, after preliminary questions,
their weight, height and chest mea-
surement at expiration and inspira-
ton will be noted. They will then
be subjected to a general examina-
ton of the head. chest, abdomen,
nose, throat, heart and extremities.
The feet will then be examined for
evidences of flat arches or deformi-
ties. The vision. both eyes, and the
hearing, both ears, will then be
tested. The teeth will then be ex-
amined. In the course OF the ex-
animation all defects, such as rup-
