structions and is Now Awaiting
 the Master List Before Beginning
 It's Duties, Numbers Called Will
 Probably Be Notified First of Next
 The local draft exemption board, composed Of Sheriff Slaughter, Dr. l.. A. w. Burtch and l.. N. Callicotte who it is understood will take the place on the board of County Re corder Ellis, resigned, has received it's final instructions from Washing ton and as soon as the master list of numbers is received will be ready to begin their duties. The list will probably be in the hands of the board by the latter part of the week and the notices will be posted and mail ed sometime the first of next week.
 The local board has no small task before them, as the 3544 names drawn in Greenlee county will have to be copied, together with the seri- al number, name and address, and the order number, taking the first number drawn and going on down the line in the order drawn.
 This complete list of names will be posted at the court house and notice will also be mailed each of those whose umbers are called.
 The list of those called for medi- cal examination, which is the first step to be taken, will consist of two times 344, the quota for Greenlee county, and to facilitate the work of the board these 690 numbers will be divided into three parts of 230 each. The first 230 numbers on the list are to report for medical examination within [ days from notification, the second 230 within 6 days, and the third 230 within days. In support of this list as being notice, each person will also be notified by mail, so there will be no excuse for any one not reporting for the medical eX- animation r
 After this list is posted days are allowed for person to make claim of exemption or discharge, and an additional 10 days for filing affidavits supporting the claim.
 In order not to obstruct the work of tbs jecal boar the persons whose names are posted should watch the lists carefully and report at the proper time. Persons should not call for forms until their number is posted and notice is received as they will absolutely not be given out There are over 70 different blanks on file with the board and their work ip this respect will be arduous enough without rush Nof, persons bothering the board unnecessarily before they are posted.
 It would also greatly facilitate the work of the board if all alien resi- dents whose numbers are posted in the first call would report to the board after receiving notice and file their claim on the ground of being an alien and thus eliminate the nee essity of undergoing medical ,ex animation. As there are great many MeXicans especially. on the list who are not naturalized their elimination will gratly expedite the rest of the work.
 Similarly it might be well to re peat a section of the instructions re garding persons who claim exemption for certain specified reasons: Any person who may be called by a loca board and notified to appear for phy sical examination shall file clain for eXem ption on the ground; that ht is subject of Germany; that he is il the military or naval service of tht United States; that he is an officer legislative, executive or judicial. o the United States, Territories, ol the District of Columbia, or
 That He Is Resident Alien;
 and the board is of the opinion tha there is reasonable ground for be lieving that any such person is en titled to exemption on the ground stated, such board may postpone ths physical examination of any such per son until after his claim for eXemp ton or discharge shall have beer heard"
 Anticipating the draft quite nun Der of Clifton young>men have left il the past two days to join the Arizon; troops, and it is understood tha many more from other sections o the county have done likewise. It il estimated that fully two-thirds of th' total number drawn in Greenle' county will be exhausted before thu required quota is obtained, and thu whole list may possibly be included
