QUOTA FOR THE DRAFT

Tie war department has officially
istered on June 5th, $500? will be
selected To make up the first national
army and to fill vacancies in the regu-
lar army and national guards. Each
state is allowed a credit for its en-
listments in the army, either in guards
or regulars, on the quota it would be
called on to furnish according to popu-
lation. The enlistments in South Da-
kota We're so great that our number
20 be furnished by selection is only
en-. Applying the same rules as TO
the county it would figure out a ratio
of one man in twenty-one and a third
of those who registered Will be called
TO the flag. On this basis the county
will have to furnish about seventy to
seyenty-fve men. the city fourteen to
sixteen and the wards As follows,
FIRST. about four; second, about four;
third. about three, and fourth. about
FIVE But it may not be distributed
that way, as the cards of the whole
county are mixed up for numbering
and the turn of the wheel may bring
out numbers that will not proportion
tie call around among the sections of
the county as it should.
The quota to be furnished by west
ern states looks peculiar when We no
tice the greater number TO be taken
from one state than another, but that
is accounted for by the fact that in
some states the volunteer enlistments
have been many, thereby reducing
the number that state will be required
to furnish. It seems to be the purpose
of the government to draw the whole
list of men who were registered, Civ
ing each a number, if that first numb
er to be drawn is II, it will mean
that the man in each district or pre-
cinct whose card is number II will be
the first man called. So on down the
list of drawn numbers until enough
have been called to fill the required
number of $4,000. There are 1000
registration districts in the country,
each according to population will furn-
ISL its share, and the numbers for
some districts will be less than 9TH
ers. But the general rule will be fol
lowed of numbering every registered
man and then calling that proportion
ate quota from each district.

TRAIL OFFICIALS ACT

Tourists along the Black and Vel
low Trail can be assured that the of
fcials of the trail will look after their
interests. The account of the Color
ado man who was arrested at Pierre
is the first example of what President
Roberts and all the other officials can
do to make the trail popular.
Being arrested and fined although
he broke no law, and then having his
fine returned to him, is the experience
of r. B. Thackston, a new district
salesman for an automobile company
in South Dakota, who is motoring
through the state from Colorado to
Sioux Falls on the Black and Yellow
trail. Mr.. T~hackston told of his ex-
pcriences while passing through Hur-
on and complimented the Black and
Yellow trail officials at Pierre who
helped him out of his trouble.
Mr.. Thackston was driving through
Pierre when the officials there arrest
ed him for not having a number plate
on the front of his car. He displayed
a Colorado plate on the e a only, but
that compiled with the laws of the
state he came from. According to the
South Dakota law a number must be
displayed in both places, so the zeal
Gus officials "pinched' the traveller.
Tom Roberts of Pierre, president Of
the Black and Yellow trail, heard Of
the affair and realizing hat it is the
privilege of the trail people to look
after the interests of tourists on the
trail, he hired an attorney TO look the
matter up. The result vas that when
an automobilist has complied with the
laws of his own state he is not liable
to arrest in other states where laws
are contradictory. So, after Mr.
Thackston had paid a fine, the at
torney and Mr.. Roberts saw to it that
the money was returned. This matter
of protecting the interests OF tourists
on the Black and Yellow trail is al
ways looked after.
