FIRST DRAFT EXCLUDES
MEN WITH DEPENDENTS

Men with dependents will posi-
lively be exempted from the first
unit to be raised under the army
draft law. This much has been set
tied by the special board that has
been working on the draft regula-
tons, which are now practically
complete, although still subject to
any changes that may become nee
essary..
The exemption of men who have
dependents upon them does not
necessarily mean all married men,
while, on the other hand, it may in
clude men who are not married.
Married men who have incomes that
will continue if they enter the army
or who are not actually supporting
families, or whose wives or children
may possess Independent means
are not necessarily exempt from
the draft and it is probable thai
many such men will be taken.

BIG OIL COMPANY
WITH 100000 CAPITAL

Messrs. Ben w. Hall, Of this city,
Judge c. c. Turner, Of Frankfort,
and J. b. Ledford, Of Mcnefee
county, last week fled articles
incorporating an oil company with
100000 capital. The main Offices
of the company will be located in
Mt. Sterling. The company has al
ready leased 1,275 acres of land
right in the oil belt in Menefee
county, and as soon as the organi-
zation is completed the work of the
development Of the field will begin.
It is said by experienced oil men
that the company has some of the
richest land in Kentucky and that
there is every reason to expect
that many paying wells will be
brought in. The sand in this field
has DeeU ltSltu anu lIOIn IcpOIbS
made by experts in that line it is
thought that the lands owned and
controlled by Messrs. Hall, Turner
and Ledford is right in line with the
sand that has made Estill county
famous throughout the world. Sew
eral rigs of machinery for drilling
will soon be on the ground and the
work of drilling the first well will
begin as soon as the machinery is
received. 1t is the purpose of
the men in the company to make a
thorough and systematic develop
ment of their properties and not
quit until the entire field is gone
over.

Or. BARROW TO LEAD
HOSPITAL UNIT TO FRANCE

News has been received herr
that DIR. David Barrow, Of Lexing-
ton, prominent surgeon, had applied
to the War Department at Washing
ton and received his commission t.
organize and lead an American Base
Hospital Unit to the battlefelds OF
France
DIR. Barrow is still in Washington,
but is expected to return to Lexing-
ton within the next few days and
take up the work of organization
Immediately. According to unofiic-
ial Information, not less than twenty
doctors will be enrolled in the unit,
and there is possibility the entire
twenty will be members of the Fay
et& County Medical Association.
About sixty nurses will also accom-
pany the unit it is believed, and a
large number of these are also ex-
pected to go from Fayette county.
The final decision by the War De-
partment to commission DIR. Barrow
to organize this unit and lead it
across the Atlantic follows several
attempts made by DIR. Barrow to
help the nation. DIR. Barrow has
achieved national reputation as
surgeon, and his determination to
give up his work for the cause
means leaving one of the largest
and most lucrative practices in the
State.
Friends who are very near to DR.
Barrow state that ne has spent
great deal of time recently in study
ing the war situation, and that this
plan of taking hospital unit made
up of Kentucky doctors and Ken
lucky nurses had been uppermost in
his mind for several weeks.
That the full quota of doctors
for the unit will be raised from
Lexington is practically assured. A
large majority of the medical pro-
fession of Lexington has already take
en- steps toward placing themselves
in the service, and practically every
one of the youngerschool of doctors
in that city has already been ac-
cepted in the Medical Reserve
Corps, or has his application pend
ing.
A well known doctor of Lexington
said that he felt sure that from
twenty to thirty nurses in Licking
ton would also flock to the colors
and join the unit under DIR. Barrow's
leadership.

hurt him on one foot and the other
