Examine Another 100 Men

Yesterday another 100 Chero-
kee county young men were
examined by the local board at
Columbus in order to make up
the 38 men necessary to fill up
the county's quota Of 26S.
The numbers examined includ-
ed those from 1000 to 100 in
elusive. These were the order
and not the draft numbers. In
examining 1000 men in August
and September the board sup
posed that the first quota of 268
men would be obtained. The
first three calls have taken 230
men to camp, and the board
discovered last week that it
would not have enough men to
fill the fourth call Of S8 men,
who will probably be called the
latter part of this month, without
holding another examination.
Among the 100 men examined
for this call the following names
Of Baxter Springs men appear:
