CRAWFORD coUNrY's QUOTA 1923
Or. n. D. Jones Of SchIeswis Has
Been Appointed by Local Board to
Help With Examinations

Crawford county men subject to Sc
lective conscription will receive to-
morrow (Thursday) notice to appear
before DR.. w. T. Wright for physical
examination. These examinations,
however, will not commence until
Monday and each man called will be
notified just when he is to appear for
his examination. Gov Harding in.
structed the local exemption, board to
secure another physician to assist DR..
Wright with the examinations and DIR.
H. D. Jones, of Schleswig, has been
appointed.
On Saturday morning the local
board received from the state officials
at Des Moines the official list of
numbers In the order in which they
were drawn at Washington. They at
once commenced listing the 1920 men
registered in this county in the order
in which they were drawn. 1t is no
easy matter to compile this list as it
has to be checked and rechecked sew
eral times to avoid errors. The board
finished this work at a late hour last
evening and today they are mailing
out notices to the first 246 men on the
list to appear for examination.
Crawford county's quota as stated
last week in the Review is 1913 men.
Had 1t not been for the fact that the
county was given credit for 80 men
who have already enlisted in the var
iOus branches Of the service this
county would have had to furnish 222.
1t is estimated that 500 OF the men
called will either be physically unfit
or entitled to exemption so twice the
number needed are notified to appear
before the board. For this reason
226 men will be notified. All OF these
men will be examined and those wish
ing to claim exemption may do so
within three days from the time they
receive their notice and will be al
lowed seven days after signifyine
their intention to the board in which
to make out the proper affidavits,
which must be placed on file with the
local exemption board.
ii Ii thought that Crawford county
viii furnish its quota OF 1913 men east
" out of the 226 called. However. If
the quota can not be raised out OF
those first called others will be called
in the order in which they were drawn
until the quota is raised.
Blanks for claims of exemption are
now-in the hands of the local board
where they may be obtained by those
wishing to claim exemption or dis
charge. The local board will pass on
all claims for exemption or discharge
other than for business reasons.
Where they do not allow a claim 1t
may be appealed to the district board.
The Review is printing in this is:
sue a list Of the first five hundred
and fifty men drawn in this county
in the order in which they will have
to appear. This list has been care
fully compiled and has been checked
by the local exemption board to avoid
any mistakes. II your name is not in
cluded in this list you will not prob
ably be called for the first army
which is now being raised. BY next
week we hope to have complete list
compiled OF every man registered in
the county so all will know in just
what order they will be subject to
draft.
Below we print the names and num-
bers of the first drawn.
