OF ME'K|!INOCK
FIRST DRAWN
Grand Forks Man, Second
on List, Will Ask
Exemption.
COUNTY QUOTA IS
FURTHER REDUCED
Grand Forks District Must
Furnish 229 Men to
New Army.

Nick julius Nelson of Mekinock is
the first Grand Forks county man who
will be called before the draft board,
to be examined for service in the new
national army.
Mr. Nelson's number, 25s, was the
first to be drawn from the revolving
bowl Of the lottery at Washington.
Mr.. Nelson could not be reached
this morning but relatives Of his state
that he is unmarried. and has no
family dependent on him.
First Local Man.
The second number drawn was
1922 that of Sigurd o. Bye, gil Oak
street, Grand Forks. Mr.. Bye stated
this morning that he would claim ex-
emption on the ground that he hasa
wife and three children dependent on
him for support.
Joseph Dahl, Marvel. No. 468; Cliff
ford Olson, Larimore. 1854: and Tom
Howe, Northwood, 854, were the third,
fourth and fifth Grand Forks county
men to be drawn for examination.
Leo Morgan, employed by Swift &
Co., Of Grand Forks, was sixth. His
number is 1894. Mr.. Morgan stated
ground that he has a wife and two
children dependent on him for sup
port i, IS,
Fifth street, employed by Armour &
Co., was drawn seventh.
He could not be reached this morn
| ing, but as he is understood to be un-
married. II is thought probable that
he will be the first man from this city:
to be actually drafted into the federal
service providing he passes the physic-
al examination. 45, sss
Quota is Reduced.
| Word received from Bismarck this
morning was to the effect that q furth-
er reduction OF % for federal enlist
ments must be made in the net quota
1 OF men from Grand Forks county. to
be called for the draft army.
| This will mean that the county
4 must furnish 229 men for this purpose,
the gross quota being $50. and the
credits for enlistment In the state and
federal forces 104.
4 This will mean that 45S men will
be called for examination In the coun-
ty for the first quota as the govern
Iment suggests that at least half OF
those called viii probably be exempt

ROBERT FOWLER WINS PRIZE

On last Monday there was a very
happy little boy in Marietta.
Now, this happy little boy was
John Robert Fowler, Jr. First, he
had won the prize for having made
the highest average of any pupil in
the Sixth Grade, in the study Of
Georgia History.
This prize, a Revolutionary read
er, was presented by the D. A. r.
Robert is a very bright boy, as
we'll as a very studious boy, and
he had worked hard, not that he
might receive just the prize, but
that he might possess the know
ledge. And as a reward for his
earnest efforts his father had plann-
ed another surprise for him. And
this surprise was a $40 gold piece
which he promptly deposited in the
bank.

THREE YEARS SENTENCE .
IN NELhS GIRLS CASE

Mrs. Ida May hines was found
guilty Of larceny after trust in the
superior court of Fulton County on
Tuesday night and sentenced to
three year in Jail. The charge grew

seven years in the penitentiary last
June.
Mrs. Innes protested her limo
cence of knowledge of any of her
husbands affairs, and the case was
hard fought by attorneys appointed

The State presented strong evil
dence, however, and won a verdict
that did not recommend any kind
of mercy.
The helms sisters were daughters
of Mrs. j. W. helms, recently of
