EXPECT TO FILL QUOTA.
The exemption board expects to be
able to give fair idea of what the
county will be able to produce in avail
able men for the first call by tomorrow,
although of course the exemption
claims will require some time to pass
upon. With fifty passed as physically
fit and claiming no exemption, 1t is ex-

certify seventy or more men.
