And the Order in Which the Young Men
Will Be Called to Do Service
In Uncle Sans Army
FIRST CALL FOR NINETY men

The first draft of Garfield county
men under the new CONSUMPTION law
has been called for examination for
next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, thirty each day or ninety men in
all, and out of this number it is hoped
that this county's quota of As men may
be drawn.
Each of the three days thirty men
will appear before DR.. Horan of the
local exemption board for physical ex-
animation, and if not excused by him
they may appear before the full board
for exemptions other than physical.
The exemption board Of this county
consists of Sheriff C. w. Fravert, C. T..
Hubbard, deputy county clerk, and DR..
E. J. Horan, county physician.
1t is roughly estimated that one.half
Of the men summoned may be excused
for one cause or another, although DR..
Horan says he is given very strict Or.
ders in regard to rejections and in all
cases where there is close question
in regard 70 An applicants qualifica-
tions he must give the government the
benefit of the doubt. He finds that
his instructions are much more rigid
than he expected them to be and he
is therefore not expectinga a great many
exemptions on the score of physical
unfitness.
The local board is not supposed TO
pass upon exemptions for industrial
reasons, but the matter Of exemptions
because of dependents will be taken up
by them. The physical examinations
will come first and all who are reject
ed will be given button showing their
rejection. Those who are approved Oh
the physical test may then file any
claims for exemption on any grounds
they may have, on blanks furnished
them for that purpose. A specified
time will be given in which they may
present their claims for exemption.
The law provides that a majority Of
the exemption board must be present at
all times during examinations.
The official master list for Garfield
county was received last Monday and
the work of preparing notices for the
first ninety men was begun at once.
This was big undertaking and Mr..
and Mrs. Fravert, C. L. and C. E. Hub
bard were very busy at the task until
it was completed on Thursday and no.
tices posted and cards mailed to the
men summoning them for examination.
The mailing Of these cards constitutes
legal notification and it is then up to
the men to report when ordered to do
so. Failure on their part to present
themselves before the exemption board
on the proper date lays them liable to
service without the right to claim an
exemption. If the exemptions should
run high, making it impossible to get
Garfield county's first draft quota
from the ninety names drawn, then
