c. E. FOrtney, the popular manag-

this point for the past several years
will step down and out the first of
the month and his place will be
filed by Mr.. T. J. POnton, of st.

milarly known by his wide circle of
friends has builded q good business
for the company at this point and
the many customers of the yard will
regret to learn of his resignation.
The one pleasing thing about his
resignation is the fact that it will
not take him away from Holly but
instead he will take up the burdens
Of the Bean Elevator company at
this point and will endeavOr by fair
courteous treatment to build a good
business for the elevator. The man.
agement of the elevator is to be con-
graduated upon securing his servi-

that he will prove a popular man

Mr.. T. j. PontOn, who comes to us
from st. Louis, Missouri, is an ex-

no doubt prove as popular in the

INCOMPLETE IISf OF
HOLLY MEN CALLED
No 0meial List Has Yet BEEN Given
Out From Hsadquartsrs

While the official list has not yet
been given out of who will be called
from Holly to enlist in the big con-
scriptiOn army it is believed that
nearly everyone registered will be
called to take examinations in the
next several days. OF course, not all
will have to go, but it is expected
that every man registered will be
placed upon the waiting roll in
readiness for second call that is
said to be planned for sometime
the fist fifteen days of November.
We give below the first list of
names as drawn in the big lottery
and it is altogether probable that
everyone given in this list will be
called to Lamar within the next ten
days to take the examination. A
notice will be posted as to the ex-
act date and each individual mailed
a notice as to where and when to
report for examination. The follow
ing list is incomplete but perhaps
represents those who will answer
the first call for examinations:

STATES RACE TO SEE
WHO FILLS QUOTAS FIRST
Calling Of Mem Begins In Several Of
the States


honor of being first to fill their
quotas under the selective draft
bill was on Thursday in earnest.
Calling up men for physical exam
inatiOn began this morning in sew
eral regions.
Meanwhile details of the draft ma
chinery for actually calling the &C.
cepted men into service and send
ing them to their mobilization
camps are being worked out. Pro
vOst Marshal General CrOwder has
already ruled that the claim of the
army attaches to any registered man
as soon as the local selection board
has posted him as accepted. From
that time on unless exempted, he
will be subject to military law and
the articles of war. Failure to ap-
pear when called will bring the mil
itary forces of the provost marshal
general in search of the missing
man and he will be tried for any
violation of regulations before
courtmartial This ruling was nee
essary in rider to enforce the prompt
compliance of all accepted men with
army orders.
1t appears that the accepted men,
when the mobilization order for
the new army is given, will be the
first assembled in their selection
board headquarters. Their distri-
button among the 16 cantonments,
General Crowder said today, would
be governed by two rules first, the
section of the law requiring that
they be assigned. as far as practic-
able, to duty with troops from their
own state, and second, the location
of the nearest cantonment to reduce
the transportation problem as
much as possible.
No information has reached Gen
Esrsl Gr0Yder indicating thst there
would be any need to somfnon d
second draft in addition to the $751;
600 men now called for, during the
present year. General Crowder said
today he had understood that the
draft machinery would not need to
be employed again during the year,
altho it will be kept intact. Esti-
mates to cover expenses of the sec
ond increment have been submit
ted, it was pointed out because all
the expenditures must be made in
advance of a call to have equipment
and quarters ready, or the funds
must be actually on hand when
the call is made.
With physical examinations act
ually in progress, the record of the
draft during the Civil War becomes
interesting. At the time 257 per
cent OF the men called up were re-
jected for physical defects. There
is no. reasn to expect, it is said any
material increase in that factor.
Exemptions for industrial or sim
liar reasons as well as exemptions
because of dependent relatives, en-
ter an unexplored field. Until a ra-
ito for this is worked out in practice
in severaltypical communities and
worked up into an average figure,
no definite forecast of the probable
number of men who will pass thru
the draft machinery to obtain the
6S7, 900 soldiers can be given.

last Monday eveing to do Mr.. J. H.

years he has been one Of our prom

it was q fitting mark pf kindness
shown him at the gathering last
Monday evening. During the twelve
years that he has act d in THE ca
pacity of agent for th1 Santa Fe at
this point he has served the COM
pany well and his promotion to the
county seat comes q 4 token Of ap-
probation for his untiring efforts.
HOlly's loss is Lamar'ss gain.
The program was opened at the
club rooms by q solo sfrom L. M.
Appel followed by Z telection by
James Fuller after whi4h those pres

pei and McKeever in r well rem
dered duet. Miss Jan4 Duncan ac-
companied the sonss1ers on the

numbers on the progrhm was brok-
en- up by Duncan's dqg, "Pie.' who
took exceptions to thf renderation
OF a Highland Fling Hone by Jack
and accompanied by anker Johns

During the renderal1o ION OF the en-
tertainment, Mr.. Snyder. who was
an invited guest sat quietly by not
thinking that it wasii his honor
that the gsyeties VIDE being in

words the regret of His business as
sOciates at his being called away
and asked that he carry this token
of their esteem through the ages to
come as memento of their respect.
It was with difficulty that Mr..
Snyder at first replied to the speech
of the Ex-mayor but he soon found
his voice enough to thank his
friends from the bottom of his heart
and assure them that their mark
of favor was courtesy that should
never be forgotten He called their
attention to the old saying-"that
it was not so much the gift-as the
spirit in which it was given'-that
appealed to him and made no hes
itancy in stating. that he thought
Holly was one of the best little
towns in the world and Inhabited
by bunch OF the best fellows I'M

1t Is needless to say that Mr.. Sny-
der and his excellent family have
the best wishes of a wide circle of
friends on this side of the county.

1uiAgs
The fact that q man may have
filed q calm for exemption from
service in the selective service army
does not excuse him from the ply
steal examination to be given by
the local exemption board. He must
present himself on the day named
in the call sent out by the board.
This is one of the imperative points
OF the information order sent out
by E. H. Cr0wder. provost marshal
general. for all registered Jmen. The
exemption may be allwed. but the
man must appear before the board
on the day named in the mailed
notice, or published lists.
Other steps in the work OF the ex-
emption boards that each man
called needs to know are briefly
summarized as follows by the pro
vost marshal generals office with
the time allowed for each:
After the physical examination,
the drafted man must file his claim
for exemption, il any, within seven
days.,
He then has ten days to file affi-
davits to support his claim. 4,
Then the local board must decide
on the claim in three days. With
in two days thereafter the board
must post list of the men and the
disposition of the case.
Ten days are allowed to file an
appeal to the upper or appellate
board and five days more are al
lowed to file additional affidavits
of evidence to support the claim.
The appellate board Is given five
days to pass upon the claim and
mail notice that the claim is good
or that the claimant must 60 to

The time limits are set to get men

Nominations for all appellate
boards are before President Wilson.
AlthO yet unannounced, boards in
three states have been appointed.
Many men named for places are ma
tionally known.
The question of exemption has
bothered many men. The provost
marshal general gives the following
as the only grounds for exemption:
That you are an officer, legisla-
tive, executive OF judicial of the
United States, q state or territory,
or the District Of Columbia.
That you are regular or duly or
dained minister of religion.
That you were on May Is, 1917, a

in any recognized theological or d.
vinity school.
That you are in the military or
naval service of the United States.
That you are subject Of Ger
many, whether you have taken out
papers or not.
That you are resident alien who
has not taken out first papers
In addition to claims for exemp-
tinn claims for discharge may be
made on any of the following
grounds, which are the only
grounds for discharge by a local
board:
That you are a county or munich
pal officer.
That you are q custom house
clerk.
That you are empoyed by the
United States in the transmission
of mails.
That you are an artificer or work
