The COUNTY DRAFT
BEGAN this MORNING
Men to Appear in Groups Thursday,
Friday and Saturday for Physi-
cal Examination and Exemption

Inc exemption OOarO OF AUDUBON
county, composed of B. F. Wilson,
H. A. Northup and DR.. A. L. Brooks,
which sits in the court room, sent out
q call for the first 210 men today
drawn in the selective draft to ap-
pear for physical examination. The
quota in the county is 1903 men.
Twice the quota is called because 1t
Is expected that about one-half Of the
men will be disqualified.
The first 20 men drawn in the
county will appear for examination
at the court house this morning. The
next group, including the men whose
numbers run from 70 to 40, are re-
Quired to appear at the same place
on Friday. The third group. 140 to
30, inclusive, are to report for ex-
animation at the same place on Sat-
urday.
The list of the men drafted will be
found on page two Of today's Repub-
lican. Because most of the drafted
men have difficulty in finding where
they stand in the order of drawing.
the Republican has, with a great deal
of labor. prepared the complete list
as applied to Audubon county, CLASH
fed in the numerical order of the
draft numbers.
To find your draft number look
along the right hand column of fig
ures printed in their numerical or
der until you come to it. Then the
number directly above 1t in the center
Of the line shows your number in the
drawing.
For instance. suppose your number
Is ITO. You look down the right
hand column until you come to num-
Der TO. The number in the center
of the line above it is 1909. which
indicates that you will not be called
on the first draft, and in fact. will
not likely be drafted on the third
call. or even long after that.
Take the first number drawn at
Washington, which was 25S. Look
down the right hand column to 25S,
and then notice the number above 1t,
which Is No. 1.
Save this page of numbers and
then you can keep track of yourself
or your boys in the next draft.
AS soon as the official list was
corrected and verified the Republican
issued the first official list in bulletin
form two hours after 1t had been GER
titled to by the proper officials. More
than q thousand of these bulletins
were printed Monday morning and
practically all of these were given
out gratis to those who called at the
office. The bulletin was the same as
the complete list printed In today's
paper.
A week ago Saturday the Republi-
can issued a number of bulletins and
the one issued late in the afternoon
was identical with the first 472 names
drawn and checked over on Monday.
Other lists were issued In Audubon.
but were week older than the one
issued by the Republican. No coun-
try neWnpaDef anywhere gave such
excellent service In furnishing first
news of the draft as did The Audubon
Republican. and no list in the coun-
ty today is C,yw4ere as complete and
full as the one you will find on pages
two and seven Of today's Republican.
