EXACT ORDER Of
CALL TO ARMS
LIST OF THE 1901 REGISTERED
MEN IN BRookINGs COUNTY
ORDER TO BE CALLED
MEN FROM GOVERNMENT MASTER LIST
Information as to Methods and Pro-
cedure to be Followed by
Local Boards

Below is a list Of the men in Brook
ings county who were registered and
whose numbers were drawn in the
draft. The government publication,
The Official Bulletin, published in their
issue of Saturday the master list of
numbers drawn. This is the first Off
Clal publication of the same, though
the Register published half of the list
last week and the other half appears
this week. That list however was not
the official one. In making this list we
have used the method that is given 10
each local board when the master list
Is sent to them, which is given in the
instructions as follows: Draw a light
line through every number which does
not at the present time appear on any
registration card in the possession OF
your local board. The list as thus
prepared controls and determines the
order of call for every person whose
registration card is now within your
possession each person shall be-
called in the order in which their
names appear in said list"
The local board in Bookings have
not received their master list by
which they determine the names that
they viii call and the Register gives
this list compiled from an official gov
eminent publication, as being as near
official as car be made until the board
issues the call over their own sigma
ture.
Here are some facts that a register
ed man must know, especially if he is
in the first 200 named in Bookings
County.
AS soon as the local board makes
their call for the mel to be examined
here, they VIII post that call with the
list of names and numbers at their
Office in the Court House. A notice
will be mailed you, but the posting is
held to be sufficient and you have no
excuse if you do not receive your
notice. Keep your eye on the list at
the Office and see when you are called
for examination.
You must report for physical exam
ination on day named. If you are
found disqualified the board gives you
a certificate and tells you what further
to do. If you are found physically fit,
you may file a claim for exemption or
discharge within seven days after your
call, then you will be given ten days
after filing the claim to file afidavits
to support that claim. If you are found
ut and do not file claim for exemption,
or if you do not report for examina
ton, your name will be posted to the
district board as one called for mill
tary service and not exempted or dis
charged.
On the eighth to the tenth day after
call, copies of the list so posted to the
district board will be published in the
papers, and posted in the Office Of the
local board and notice mailed you
No claim for discharge on account of
industry can be allowed by the local
board. This is only passed on by the
district board, in this state South Da-
kcta is one district and the board will
meet at Pierre. If your name has been
posted as drafted and you wish to be

trail occupation, including agriculture,
you must within five days after that
posting, file your claim with the district
board. This is done on form 161 or
161a. Only afidavits can be used be-
fore the district board for exemption
on industrial grounds and all affidavits
must be filed within five days after
filing the above claim. The decision
of the district board will be made
within five days after closing the proof
and this decision is the only one that
can be appealed to the president. You
have seven days after the decision OF
the district board is made in which 10
file IN appeal to the president.
When your case Is finally disposed
Of the adjutant general will advise
yon that you are selected for service
but does not order you into service.
You will be notified by the govern
ment and told where to report, when
they are ready to receive you.

you are exempted by the local or dis
trict board, this certificate may be re-
called at any time. Also II it Is tenn
