Quite a few of the men whose
claims for exemption have been denied
have called at the boards headquar-
ters for the papers necessary in filing
an appeal to the District Board.
While local boards of many coun-
ties are now busy re-examining the
men who failed to pass the physical
examination, the Audrain County
Board did that as they went along,
and are therefore that much ahead
of other boards. Every man who fail
ed to pass the physical examination
was re-examined Immediately by an
other doctor. Several who barely fail
ed to pass were instructed to come
back at later date for another ex-
animation, most of them the 18th Of
September.
Emmett B. Atkinson, one of the
men listed in Wednesdays Ledger as
discharged, was only temporarily dis
charged.
Thursday morning the board re-
ceived the little buttons they will
furnish men who were discharged OF
exempted. The button contains an
embossed flag ensign, and is worded
Exempt, U. S."
An interesting case in connection
with the draft drawing and examina-
tion is that of Harold E. Everley, son
of S. E. Everley, of Vandalia, who is
now in South America. The father
recently wrote the local board that
his son was in South America, and
that he did not know his address ant
could not notify him that he had beer
drawn. The matter was referred tC
J. W. McCord, the Adjutant Genera
of Missouri, by the local board, ant
Thursday they were notified by Mr.
McCord that he could not give any in
formation on the subject, but haC
referred it to the Provost Marshal
General.

Only four of the 342 Audrain
county men who were called for ex-
animation for the National Army did
not show up for examination, it was
announced Monday afternoon. Two
of these are thought to be in the SER
vice of the Government, but no Off
cial word has been received of them;
one is in South America, and cannot
be located, and the other is thought
to be somewhere in st. Louis"
VIM. Henry Lewright, a Mexico
negro, did not show up for examina-
ton and it is not known where he is.
Harold Ernest Everley, a Vandalia
boy, is in South America. His father
recently wrote the local board that he
had not heard from his son for some
time, and did not know his address,
but would notify him he had been call
ed as soon as he heard from him.
VIM. Albert Cook, Route 6, Mexico,
and Morris Hickman Dowell, Route
Z, Mexico, are thought to be already
in the service, but no official word has
been received to that effect. Stephen
H. Bertels, Of Martinsburg, was tenn
porarily excused because of sickness.
The local board worked Saturday
night and a good part of Sunday,
mailing notices to the second hun
dred men who have been called for
examination. They will be examined
the last three days of this week.
The following men have been ex-
amined by other boards: Arch Lee
Mopley, Vandalia; examined at Salt
City; Geo. D. Ferguson, Laddonia,
examined at Dillon, Mont. Jesse M.
Beebee, Laddonia, examined at Kan
sas City, Kansas; Henry L. Angert,
Mexico, examined at Detroit, Mich,
and Edward Kombrink, Mexico, exam
ined in Grant county, Wis.
The District Board at Canton is not
going to discharge all farmers and all
married men, as the first of the re-
ports sent to the local board might
seem to indicate. While the reports
on the men who have been discharged
are being sent to the local board,
those whose exemptions are denied by
the District Board are sent daily to
the Adjutant General at Jefferson
City who will later send them to the
board here, it was said Monday. The
names of eight who have been dis
charged by the District Board have
been received by the board here.
They are:
191-George Young, Molino
