county's quota for the new national
army will leave today for the canton
ments at Camp Dodge, Iowa, for train
ing. The local exemption board has
received notice from the district board
to entrain seventeen men today. They
will leave on the local this afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock. Notices have already
been sent to the seventeen men to re-
port here and they are instructed to
report at the court house at 9 O'Clock

It is necessary to send twice the num-
Der that it was originally planned to
send in the first delegation, on account
of the delay by so many local boards
in the state in reporting to the district
boards. There are 121 local boards in
the state and out of this number only
Al, or about one-third, have reported,
and Morrison county's board is includ-
ed in the list of those who have sent in
the names.
The local board wants the people of
this city to give the boys good send
off and urges all who can to turn out.
They will meet at the court house at
I o'clock D. m. Grey ribbon badges
will be provided for the drafted boys.
Most Of the men who will go with
the first delegation have requested that
they be sent down first. The names OF
