N. SIS DRAFT 1874 MEN
President Drafts 687, 900 for New Ma
tional Army-North Carolina AL.
ready Has Given 7,5l2

A formal order by President Will
son drafting $4,000 men into the
military service under the select;ve
CONSUMPTION law was promulgated by
the War Department Friday, togeth-
es with an official allotment showing
what part of the total must be furn
ished by each State and territory. A
Washington dispatch Of the 18th
states:
"The only steps now remaining are
distribution by the Governors OF
State quotas among the local exemD-
ton districts, and the great lottery,
which probably will be held next week
and which will establish the order
in which registrants are to present
themselves for service or exemption
"The men summoned for service
will be used to fill the regular army
and national guard to war strength
and to organize the first 100000 Of
the new national army. The total of
these three forces will be 1,262,985
men. Later another 100000 will be
called out, supplemented by sufficient
men to make up losses and maintain
reserve battalions.
Full Credit for Volunteers
I'm computing the number Of men
to be required from the various
States, the government put to the
credit of each State every man it now
has in the national guard and every
man it has contributed since April l
as war volunteer to the regular ar
my.
placing on the debit side of the
ieger the national army Of 100000
the entire national guard at war
strength ard the number of war VOL
unteers needed April l, last, to bring
the regulars up to war strength, the
grand total was apportioned accord
ing to population. This gave a gross
quota for each State, from which a
net quota was computed by checking
off the number of national guards
men available for Federal service and
the number Of men given by the
State to the regular army since April
The apportionment was made on
the basis Of an estimated grand to-
tai for the United States and it's
possessions Of 05,366.O56 inhabi-i
tants. This is paper estimate
computed from registration returns,
which comes within the law requiring
distribution of quotas by population,
but which equalizes in great meas
ure the burden that is to fall upon
the 1859 exemption districts. Each
will furnish under this apportionment
the men it's total registration would
Indicate as a fair proportion, rather
the number Of actual population of
the district would indicate. The total
Of these gross quotas is 1,152,985
men.
Credit is given to the various
States for a total of 465,985 volun-
AIRY enlistments in the national guard
and regulars, making the total net
quota for all States $4,000 men.

MILK DEALERS ARE

Blame Him for Competition

Nine milkmen. members of the

OF its products, are now blaming
Harry Strubbe. city sealer and head

and especially relating TO the use

obtain certain persons in said city

wherein he was using his said Off

lishment of such concern"
When the milk dealers of the city
raised their prices recently there
was much discussion in the news
papers and among the city milk
consumers. who made strenuous OBJ
lection TO paying more for their sup
plies. The action Of the dealers in
advancing the price was due to the
fact that the dairymen i'm the vicin-
ity of Mishawaka raised their prices
TO the dealers, who in turn made
the customer pay the difference.
The Goshen concern was induced to
open a branch here and in the com
parative short time it has been in

much of the trade away from the
dealers. 1t is now putting in a pas
