Kansas has broken all records for
enlistments in the guard and regu-
lar army and will have far less men
actually drafted than any other
state in the union. Kansas is ex-
pected to furnish seventeen thou
sand men and already there have
been nearly eleven thousand enlist
ments in the national guard and

A celebration sure to enthuse

will be raised as the band begins
playing the first national air.
The pole is so feet high and the
flag is to be 6x10 feet.

THREE BROKE JAIL
TWO WHITE MEN AND MEXICAN
ESCAPED
Broke County Jail at 2 O'clock This
Afternoon and Mexican Was
Caught at 2:30

G. Wood. r. F. Kelly, the two
men who stole a Ford in Herington
and Mexican, escaped from the
county jail here at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. The Mexican was caught
by Guy sherman, undersheriff, 80
minutes later.
The three men obtained a steel
sew by some means and cut a bar
out, then pushed away the screen
and dropped to the ground. They
we're confined in a lower cell on
the east side so that they could
easily get to the ground without
injuring themselves. A boy, working
at sand pile on the north side OF
the Jail saw the men run down the
alley across from the Jail, but
thought nothing about it.
Several prisoners Informed Mrs.
Sherman that the men had escaped.
Sheriff sherman was on official
business in the southern part OF
the county at the time. Marshal En-
Gle searched the northern part OF
the town, and Guy Sherman went
south. The undersheriff found the
Mexican out east Of town on the
santa Re tracks motioning to some
one. Guy took the man in charge

SOLOMON FARMERS ARE
HOLDING BACK THE WHEAT

A Solomon banker said yesterday
that the farmers of that vicinity are
threshing big yields of wheat but
there is practically none being sold.
They are holding it back for higher
prices and generally believe that
they will receive SO or more by
waiting on the market They do not
take kindly to government price
fixing for the crop.

men will be called. While Dickinson
county will be given credit for its
men who have already enlisted in
the national guard and regular army
at the same time this county will
also have to furnish certain num-
ber for the national army.
kansas, in fact, must furnish
1000 for the national army, as
well as 10,84t under the draft act.
In other words, the first share of
this state for the American army
will be about $4,000 men other than
those in the regular army, marine
corps, hospital corps, or any other
special units of the American army

Draft Is Expected on Friday or Saturday

But Company H has 100 men,
Co. ] at Herington has 80 men
credited to this county and Chap
man 32 so that it is possible that
Dickinson will be exempted from
the first call
Each city council or state must
furnish two-thirds of l per cent of
its paper population, according to
the new estimates which were made
for the purpose of equalizing the
draft rather than to represent ac-
curate population totals. Thus,
New York City, with an estimated
population of 6,5O4,1S5, must give
43,3S2 of the $4,000 young men
to be called on the first draft. A
city with $4,000 population would
be required to give 166 men. These
apportionments would be subject to
slight allowances for alien enemies
for men who have volunteered and
for other causes.
Method and Time of Draft
Although no official announce
ment has been made of the method
to be used for the draft the follow
ing has been received from good
authority:
A large receptacle will be used.
In this will be placed black gela-
tine capsules containing the serial
numbers from each state. A separ-
ate drawing will not be made for
each of the states. A blindfolded
man will draw out capsule and
will hand it to a clerk who will re-
cord the number. The number des-
ignates a man who must serve un-
less he fails physically or is ex-
empted
Secretary of War Baker said to-
day that he or some other member
of his office would draw the names
for the first contingent of the
draft army. This will probably take
place Saturday or early next week.
President Wilson will have nothing
to do with the drawing of the
names. Postponement until next
week of the drafting of numbers OF
men who will be called for the ex-
animation seemed probable when it
was learned that all the states had
not turned in reports. Unofficial
reports state, however that the
draft will take place next Saturday
To BE Exempted
A young man who believes he is
entitled to an exemption from serv-
ice if he is drawn in the great hu-
man lottery next week when the
first $4,000 young men will be
selected for the national army,
doesn't need a lawyer to get that
exemption or appear before the
board for him 1t is a useless ex-
pense and won't do him any good.
