LA INQUIRE COUNTY
MAKES GOOD GAIN

Receipt by County Auditor w. r.
Tucker, Of Cass county, of a tele-
gram this morning from Adjutant
General Fraser, fixing 3S7 as the final
official net number of men that this
county must provide for the nation
al army under the draft. The coun-
ty selection. board made plans to
! send notices, under the first call,
to the first TIA men whose numbers
were drawn in the draft.
From that number of men, the
county selection board will attempt
to select 426 men fit for military SER
vice, ten per cent over the net quota,
the additional men being picked to
care for wasteage by reason of dis
trict board exemptions and rejec-
tions at the concentration camp.
ExPEcTsTo SEND OUT ..
NOTICES NEXT WEEK.
With the task Of listing the men in
accordance with the order in which
they were drawn at Washington, still
incomplete, the county auditor and
his staff of five assistants worked
hard today in the hope of being able
to mail notices out next Monday,
thus beginning examinations late in
the week.

many men will be called in each
day, but it isn't likely that the gov
ernment's proposal that one-third of
all the men be called on each OF
three successive days, will be adopt
ed, because it would be a physical
impossibility to handle that number.
Each registrant will be notified of
the hour and the day that he is ex-
pected to appear for examination.
