Humboldt, Lincoln, Eureka, Ian
der and White Pine counties have
not yet completed in full their ex-
emption board returns, therefore the
date of sending these men has not
been determined, but probably it will
be about the 10Th of September.
Camp Lewis. on American Lake,
where the men will go for active
training. is one of the most pictur-
esque spots in America and noted for
the salubrity of its climate. 1t is

or about sixteen men will leave here
about September 18th, to be followed
by another forty per cent. September
3Oth and the final ten per cent at a
date net yet announced.
Up to the present time about thir-
ty men have been accepted for ser
vice out of the thirty-nine apportion-
ed to this county. There has been
two calls aggregating 128 from the
list. There are now pending before
the State district board number of
applications for exemption, IS well
as a number who have been ezamin-
ed by other boards in various parts
of the country and a few who have
not is get reported Tor examination
As q consequence it Is impossible at
this time to state the exact number
obtained.
The Local Board have issued a
call for an additional list of fifty
names from the list which will be
posted this morning to report for ex-
animation on Monday, September
10th, and from which it is expected
that the draft will be completed
The unexpected number of aliens
in the population, as well as the
large number of enlistments for
which no credit has been given, to-
gether with the exemptions on the
ground of dependency accounts for
lack of eligibles.
Deputy Clerk Chas. 2. Howard,
who has been acting as clerk of the
Local Board since its organization,
las resigned and Ernest L. Bingham
has been appointed to fill the yaean
cy thus created.

What Part Are You Going to
Take In the Show?

We want you here because it Is
your Fair and because it's yours,
you ought to be here. Ask your
neighbor what part he is going to
take in the Fair.
The visiting committee of the So
ciety, while it is their duty to visit
the farms, orchards, dairies, etc, in
the interest of the society would find
1t quite impossible to see every one,
however much they might like to do
so and it must depend largely on our
friends to encourage and assist in
this movement.
The State Agricultural Society in
promoting the State Fair feel that
they are promoting and encouraging
the best interests of our State.
The society planned a larger ex-
hibit building than they had funds to
complete knowing from experience
that a smaller building would be use
less and trusting to the future sue
cess of the Fair to be ahle to finish
it on the inside and equip it with
windows.

Anna Held's War Experience.
Anna Held acknowledges that she
used to worry about her love affairs,
but looking back upon it all, she
says it is absurd that she should have
been so foolish. The little Parisienne
argues that there is nothing sillier
than the exhibition of woman wor-
rying over affairs of the heart. Such
a statement seems incredible, coming
from Anna Held, who Immediately
brings to mind a blaze of color, a
bouquet of song and a mad carnival
of dance. 1t would seem that she
has become moralist. Indeed, the
Anna Held whom we shall see on the
Belasco stage this week. is the Anna
of old; the same exquisite, charming
woman who we admired in those
days when she tried so hard to make
her bewitching eyes behave. There
is the same lure in her glowing orbs,
and the inimitable spring in her
steps, but there is an added some
thing in her voice.
