Great Draft Lottery Continues
for is Hours Before Final
Number Is Drawn.

Washington, July 21.-America's
great army of democracy has been
drafted. At 9:49 o'clock on Friday
morning Secretary Of War Baker,
blindfolded, drew from big glass
bowl the first capsule and the number
in it was announced as 25S. Other
distinguished officials in turn drew out
numbers, and then the task was turned
over to the regular tellers, who worked
steadily at it until early Saturday
morning, when the final capsule was
drawn.
The beginning of the draft was par
ticipated in and witnessed by COM
pany of notables as large as could be
accommodated and was surrounded
with all due solemnity. After Sec
retary Baker had drawn the first num-
ber, seven others were drawn by Sen
ator Chamberlain of the senate mill
tary committee, Congressman Dent of
the house military committee, Sena-
tor Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees
Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general of the army.
More than million men were rep
resented by the first 1000 numbers
drawn, according to an official state
luent, and 1t is likely that only the
first 1000 drawn will be called before
the exemption boards for the first
army. The numbers above a few
thousand will not affect registrants
except in a small number of the lurg-
est districts. OF the 4,557 registration
districts throughout the country the
largest has something over 1O,2OO
numbers, while the smallest has only
about 1S5, and the average is about
5000. AS the drawing proceeded 157
numbers were withdrawn before one
low enough to affect the smallest dis
trict came out. 1t was 126, placing
1857 men numbered 126 on their local
lists as 15Ith in order of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the sec
ond, or red,ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line. beginning with

Taking A Living
Texas Farm and Ranch.

We should remember that our
neighbors know US. They may
not always be fair in their estimate
OF our activities, but they know
our character and are seldom de.
ceived in our motives.
In addition to making a living
on the farm We should strive to
make life. We should do the
things that help make the CON-
munity, leave an influence that is
elevating among young people,
and thus develop into ripe, old
age refined and benevolent citi-
zens.
Not all Of our energies should
be taken in making a living. Some
OF the thought ordinarily given to
less important things should be
given to making life.
Let the making of life be par.
amount among young people. If
this done there will always be a
living commensurate with the life
"a living that typifies and exalts
the life that is worth living.
This kind of character will be
worth more than the wealth that
could be accumulated and the end
of such a life will be the BEGIN
ming. Such a living makes life
brighter and better. Such a liy.
ing is worth making.

Reducing Service Cost.
Texas Farm aud Ranch,

There has never been time Sc
far as we know when it was more
important for townspeople and
country people to cooperate fol
mutual benefits. The people oil
cities and towns need the food
crops produced on farms; farmers
and their families need conve.
niences for their homes; farm
equipment and other necessaries
kept by merchants. Why not CO.
operate, each to save as much as
possible and thus extend the buy.
ing and selling values of each dol.
lar used?
There will be ways and means of
reducing cost of service. Each is
entitled to the best and most eco.
nomical service of the other. Why
not study the local problems and
reduce cost of selling to a mini
mum?
This cooperation should extend
to banks, professional people, tran
sportation companies and all 9TH
ers engaged in useful services to
society.
Society will be best served when
it is served economically. And all
citizens owe it to their neighbors
and patrons to give economical
service in whatever occupation
they are engaged. No class or oc-
cupation should ask for or expect
special favors, but each should
strive to meet the demands of pre-.
sent conditions.
