Within a few days the local board

in this county. The card must be
filled out and returned to the local
board who will then pass on each case
and decide to which class each man
shall be assigned. Those who We're
exempted at the time of the first draft
will be required to fill out their cards
and be c!assed the same as the others.
In case a man is not classed in the
class to which he believes he should
be he may appeal his case to the dis
trict board
In furnishing quotas in the future
the men will be called from the first
class until that is exhausted and so
on down through each succeeding
class. Each man will be classed in
his particular class in the order in
which his number was drawn last
June.
The local board does not anticipate
that the second draft will take place
until some time after the middle of
next February as considerable time
will be necessary to classify all of the
men.
