local boards for examination on the
first draft, and whose cases have eth

cation will, however, apply to prob
ably $4,000 to $4,000 North Dakota
registrants who were not included in
the first call. In Burleigh county 400

states ultimate quota. Farm mana.

as do their assistants, while all skilled
farm labor is included in preferred
