COMPLETE RESULTS OF.
DRAWING
SHOWN ON INSERT PAGES
Official List of Those Drawn
In Hampstead County Is
Not Available.

On the insert pages of this is
sue we publish the numbers
drawn in the recent draft, and all
who know their red ink or serial
number can figure from the or
der in which they were drawn
whether or not they are in the
first group, or those who are liza
BILE to the first call.
The first number drawn, which
follows the figure l, is 25S. This
takes No. 258 drawn in every pre-
cinct in the United States. The
next is 2-2522; this is,the second
number drawn and likewise takes
all whose red ink number cor
responds throughOutthe country,
and so on down the list
1t is estimated that the first
1000 numbers will represent a
million men; hence if we esti-
mate that 80 per cent will be ex.
empted, the first 2000 numbers
will make an army of one million.
The second figure in the dou.
bic column represents the serial
number of the man drawn, SO if
a mans serial number comes
within the first 1000 names, he
will likely be drawn in the first
group and be subject to first cali
Parties WHO regiSteref--e
officially notified by man
address given by the registrant
il drawn in the first group, but
if he fails TO get such notice he
should make inquiry of the local
board, which in this county is
composed of Dr. Z b. Carrigan,
Lee Giles and Will Atkins, with
headquarters at Hope.
Registrants should go careful
ly over the numbers given and if
they come within the first 2000
numbers drawn (this does not re-
fer to the serial number) then
they may expect to be in the first
call. The number 126in the sec
ond column places 1857 men,
which means that there are that
of registration districts
in the United States with 126 as
a serial number. All those who
have registered should be sure
to locate their red ink serial mum
Der as shown on the inside pages
of this issue and if in the first
group and you fail TO get notice
within the next few days, make
inquiry of the county board.
The Telegraph made an effort
to get the official list of names of
those in Hampstead county sub
ject to draft in the first group,
but the county board has not re-
ceived the information from the
War Dept, therefore it was not
available.

DECIDE TO HAVE
NO BARBECUE
PLAN is ABANDONED AT
MEETING
BECAUSE OF WAR CRISES
Mass Meeting Resolves Itself
Into Enthusiastic Good
Roads Meeting.

At a mass meeting of the citi-
zens of Washington, held at the
court house Monday afternoon,
il was decided not to have the pro
posed barbecue, and the meeting
was turned into "a good roads
meeting. which action was hearth
ly endorsed by the twenty five
or thirty citizens present at the
meeting.
1t was with deep regret that
the barbecue was abandoned, as
it would have proven a great get
together occasion for the many
friends of Washington from all
over the county, and Washington
would only be too glad to have
them, but it was pointed out that
at this time, when many of our
noble young men are about To be
called out for service in the
world war, our people are not in
the proper frame of mind for
making 1t was further
urgued that this is a time when
the people should heed the re-
quest of our government to con
serve the food supply as much
as possible and as muce waste
would result from barbecue of
this kind, requiring the slaught-
er,sf ton or twelve beeyes, be
go Iuslbers of hogs and
!, p,yeP, it was abandoned Little
effort would have been required
TO secure the meat and other
things necessary and many
friends iof the cause from over
the county have sent word that
they wanted TO contribute TO the
barbecue, but for the reasons
set out above it was decided TO
abandon it, the decision being
made with a feeling that this
action would be endorsed by
everybody concerned, ,gand that
later on if the people see fit the
matter might be taken up again,
In a brief talk Mr. Monroe,
who was chairman of the meet
ing, emphasized the necessity
for cooperation of everybody in
securing better roads leading in
to Washington, and every man
man present volunteered to put
in three days, or as many more
as may be necessary, on these
roads. Those who have team
also offered the use of these. 1t
was voted to hold another meet
ing at the court house Saturday
tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock
and it is desired that every body
in town will be present and that
each road leading out Of town
will have representatives from
the country at this meeting. At
that time the dates for the road
workings will be fixed and other
necessary details decided on.
The plan that will be likely
carried out will be to get enough
working force to have a squad
start out on each road leading
out of town at the same time.
Those from the country will
work on the road in which they
are most interested and the town
labor will be equally distributed
on the different roads.
Road overseer W. V. Frazier
will give his hearty cooperation
to the plan of putting the roads
in shape and will do the neces
sary grading beforehand.
Don't fail to attend the meet
ing tomorrow afternoon.

CREATION OF HUMAN RACE.

CREATION OF HUMAN RACE
Some(beGeved our earth was a burn
ing, smoking. mass, while others
thought It to be more like a dark,
boiling cloud, on which solid sub
stances gradually settled. We can
not possible know; at best we can
only imagine and draw conclusions
on the subject.
We will say, however, that the
earth was separated from the sun or
some heavenly star by centrifugal
force. Anyhow, here it was on its
path when life was in the early stages
of its existence. Some form Of life
may have been hidden in the earth
when it came to light, but to give a
comprehensive theory let us say:
That there was a rare substance rest
ing on the earth surface that looked
like Jelly or soft and flexible as an
infants bones.
It was very sensitive to magnetic
and electric forces, to the rays Of the
sun and their warmth and light Also
to the hypOtic impressions Of vital

their country's call, be in receipt Of
the meager income of the soldier,
which will be needed in keeping at
bay the wolf at the door of those who
are left behind" and which will, in
any event, be totally inadequate, even
under normal conditions, to meet the
payments of the. special assessments,
so unwisely levied, against the little
holdings Of those who will so prompt
ly respond to their country's call.
In this connection I beg to suggest
that you, as the chief executive of
our great city, either individually, or
in conjunction with the city cOun-
Gil, take under consideration the adj
visibility of such action as would
tend to bring about the abolition of
the board of local improvements,
temporarily at least, and the con-
servation of the funds required for
its maintenance. Such a step would
be in full accord with the sentiment
Of the nation and a vital factor in adj

and the cause of humanity.-William

in open session, with all members
present-Whom the voters had elect
ed-W. @. Bennett.
TO WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON:
I would respectfully call your atten-
ton to a notice-the second to be re-
ceiVed within the past few days
emanating from the board of local
improvements, relative to an assess
ment which would involve the eX-
penditure of hundreds of thousands
of dollars in the improvement of GER
tain rural districts of Chicago, and
which, of necessity, must lay an
enormous burden upon the shoulders
of the already Over-burdened small
landhOlder.
Obviously such an action, on the
part of the board Of local improve
ments, is ill-timed, when the entire
country-from coast to coasts IN
reserVedly committed to a policy Of
conservation and retrenchment, and
any contemplated action which
would involve the squandering of
such vast sums of money on unne-
cessary improVements-such as the
paving of streets in the rural dis
tricts-is in direct conflict with the
sentiment of the nation.
The whole country is calmly. but
periodically, awaiting the nations
call to give up position, business,
home-and even life itself-and
when the call comes the response
will be universal, for every true
American will cheerfully sacrifice his
all for the welfare Of his country and
the honor Of the flag.
But, Mr. Mayor, the people, for the
most part poor, who viii have to sus-
tain this unnecessary burden impOs-
ed upon them by the board Of local
improvements will, in response to
