NAME CHANGED
Original Name, Authoriz-
ed by Department.

Several years ago the name of the
postoffice at Hutton was changed to
Getaway for some reason that did not
appeal very strongly to the patrons of
that !office, but notwithstanding the
protest sent in to the Postoffice Depart
ment at Washington the new name
stuck until one day last week when it
was ordered changed back to Hutton
following petition sent in by the
people residing in the village and COM
munity surrounding,
Hutton Is one of the Oldest settle
ments along the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. At this point many
of the men employed in building the
railroad over the mountain erected
their homes and it became a purely
Irish settlement. With the passing of
the years since that time the old folks
have died but their places haye been
filled by their descendants, so 1t re-
mains peopled in large part by the sons
and daughters of the hardy stock that
came to America in the early fifties
from the Emerald Isle.
Hutton, originally, was known from
one end of the Baltimore and Ohio to
the other as Hutton Switch. Many
years ago the name was shortened to
Hutton, changed to Getaway and it
again becomes Hutton, with Mr.. James
r. Craig its recently te-commissioned
postmaster who has served in that
capacity for some years past.

cGARRETTCOUNTY
TO FURNISH l4O
Comparatively Few Men viii Be
Drafted From This County.

When the men of the nation are called
for examination for the National Army
Garrett county will furnish compare
lively few as drafted men, but con-
sidering those who have volunteered her
quota will compare very favorably with
any other section of the country and
in many cases will surpass IN point Of
numbers communities whose population
far exceed the westernmost portion of
the State.
Under the revised census estimate
which were promulgated by the War
Department few days ago which says
that each city, county or state must
furnish two-thirds of one per cent. Of
its total population, this county will be
called upon for about $40 men, the es-
innate being based upon 2l,0O0 as the
total population. The registration
shows 1920 men eligible under the Sc
lective draft for service and that num-
Der will be easily secured
An estimat of the number who volun-
tarily enlisted from various portion in
the county is conseryatiyely placed at
100 men, all of whom are now IN train
ing at various points in the country.

DRAWING OF DRAFT ARMY May
Be CONDUCTED TOMORROW
Lottery To Take Place In Capitol At 10 O'clock
And VIII Require But An Hours Time

fully prepared; the numbers verified and
have been placed under seal in a place
of complete safety. They will rot be
touched until the drawing
The numbers will be brought to the
Capitol from their present place of
safety under armed guards. At least
three responsible officials will.have them
in charge.
The final announcement regarding
the draft will be made tomorrow
morning. Secretary of War Baker
now on trip down the Potomac, will
return to Washington at Z o'clock.
Gen, Crowder will meet him an hour
later and at this conference it will be
determined when announcement is to
be made of the way the draft machinery
will work and the exact place where
the drawing will be held.
Conferences also have been arranged
between Secretary Baker and the chair
men Of the House AND Senate military
affairs committees.
These committeeman will be official
witnesses on the part of Congress to
the drawing.
Space has been reserved and wire
service arranged for the press so that
each number may be sent broadcast
over the country from the committee
room where the drawing will be held
Officials in charge of the drawing to-
day showed how heavily the respon-
sibility weighs upon them.
Three tally clerks have been selected,
but their names are not made public.
They will be responsible members of
the provost marshall's staff, trained
especially for the work.
The system devised by General Crow
der will draft Approximately 50, 600 men
a minute. Aperica is banned to
lottery, but with In less than forty eight
hours she Is going to have the biggest
gamble in the world in which the stakes
are The lives of men by millions.
BY Friday night every man IN the
country will know his position on the
CONSUMPTION list A few days later he
will be officially notified and will be
sent a complete list of the numbers in
his district so that he may judge how
soon he is likely to be called.
If among the first quota he will be
given five days to appear before the
local board for physical examinations;
he then will have another five. days in
which to file atfidavits to cain exemp-
ton.
No penalty will attach to his failure
to appear before the board. He will
merely forfeit his right to exemption
and will be listed as held for service.
If, however, he fails to appear when
ordered to report for transportation to
the camp he will be arrested as a de-
serter and face heavy penalty by
military court.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-The draft
will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock
in the great Capitol building here.
One CT the largest committee rooms
will be the scene Of the drawing which
will determine those Of Americas man
hood who must go to the colors.
The actual drawing hinges only on
reports from five states, that their work
of numbering registration cards has
been completed. All have assured
Provost General Crowder that they are
working under high pressure TO get
their work done before O'Clock to-
morrow.
The War Department today rejected
plan to hold the drawing in the cham
Der of the House OF Representatives.
Objection was made on two grounds,
first, that it would make d spectacle
out OF solemn occasion and second,
that the noise would be confusing to
the tally clerks and might lead to re-
gretabIe errors Inyald4Jing the entire
draft
Everything is ready as far as the
War Department is concerned. Print
ed pamphlets. explaining the system
to be implied in the drawing, were dis
tributed to all the local boards to day
and given to the press in confidence to
be released when Secretary of War
Baker shall permit. They probably
will be made public Friday morning just
before the drawing. Not word is to
be madc public until all the states have
reported themselves ready as a pre-
caution against tampering with the
serial numbers.
The states which had not concluded
the work at late hour tonight were
Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and
New York. Illinois was complete
except for one board in Chicago. One
county in Missouri held up the state S
report.
Gen. Crowder this evening said:
The system evolves all 70 the ele-
ments of chance. 1t has been carefully
designed to give an absolutely fair deal
to every man registered.
From present prospects the draft
will be held Friday. 1t had been
planned to hold it in the big reception
room of the War Department, but it
was decided that this was too small.
So it will be held in one of the large
committee rooms Of the House.
The drawing will take one hour. A
trial drawing exclusive of the short
feature, took exactly 56! minutes and
not an error was made.
Il hope that no numbers will be sent
out by telegraph before they have been
officially checked up. so that no regret
able errors should cause discomfort to
any man or his family.
The capsules which will be
used on the drawing have been care

MR.. FRIENDALSO WITHDRAWS.

To the Editor of The Republican:
| wish to state to my friends through
out the county that unfortunately at
this time it will be impossible for me to
make campaign through the different
districts of the county, without which
it would be impossible for me to become
acquainted with the voters and | think
no voter should vote for the nomination
Of a candidate unless he is acquainted
with the character and qualifications Of
such candidate. and it is also good to
know something of his personal appear
alce as well.
Therefore, being a farmer, and hav-
ing had an accident in my family which
makes it compulsory for me to stay at
home, take this opportunity of thank
ing my friends who have given me as
surance of their support, for their
loyalty, and respectfully withdraw my
name from the list of aspirants for the
nomination for county commissioner at
this time.

CALOMEL CLAIMS
MANY VICTIMS.


Very few realize how many
people are salivated by calomel
each year. Every one who has
taken this dangerous drug knows
that it gripes, sickens and is very
unpleasant to take but all who
do not know that while it acts
violently ON the liver that it
softens the bone and is liable at
any time to salivate them. Many
doctors dislike to prescribe it as
they would any other poisonous
drug and some doctors refuse to
give it to their patients. 1t il
tor these reasons that men Of
science have been patiently
searching for a substitute for dam
gerous calomel and have at last
discovered medicine that possess
es the virtues of calomel without
the dangerous and unpleasant aft
ter-effects. This new medicine is
called LEMOLAC and Is now on
sale at Helm & Ellison's Drug
Store.
P. S. If You forget the name
spell calomel backwards.
