BOONE COUNTY

Having completed their labors in
connection with the first draft the
Boone County Exemption Board is
taking a short rest Notwithstanding
but IS men was the quota called for,
seventy-four eligible men were certf-
fled to the district board which has
been in session at Fort Smith this
week.
The number of persons certified by
local boards to the district board Of
western Arkansas as eligible for milf
tary service is short 242 of the requir-
ed number, according to a compilation
of figures at the district board head
quarters in Fort Smith The % cOun-
ties in the district are assessed a total
of 2,619 men. They have reported
1857. The latter number includes all
classes of appeals and, no doubt, will
oebe decreased to some extent when the
district board passes on these ques-
tions.
Nearly all of the counties are short
of their quota, and Boone is a most
creditable exception in this line, offer

nfor examination have been accounted
for. Arthur D. Cain, it seems had en-
listed in the navy in June but this
fact had not been certified to the

was not cleared up until newspaper
publicity brought it to the attention
81 friends, when Gains mother made
affidavit before the board Of his enlist
ment. Ralph Dabbs has been located
at Guthrie, Okla. He had applied for
enlistment in the navy ,but was re-
jected on physical examination. His
examination has now been ordered in
Oklahoma. The board has information
that William Cheatham is down with
typhoid fever somewhere in Boone
county. John Berry Campbell is certi-
fled by his physician as too i'll to ap-
pear but will probably be examined
September 1st. John H. Williams is
thought to be in New Mexico. but has
not yet been heard from.
Hugh Deweese, Percy |. Estes and
Henry Taylor are certified as already
