HURRY RUN TO LIMA
To SAVE BABY'S LIFE

DR.. Miller was called to the home
of Ed Fleck, this city, Wednesday af-
ternoon TO attend the little nine week
old baby of Mr.. and Mrs. Fleck who
he found was suffering with rupture.
AS the physician felt the child would
not live unless he was taken to an
expert surgeon, a flying trip was
made with the babe in his machine
to the Lima hospital where an oper-
alton was performed.
Later reports state that the little
one is doing nicely.

Present Plans Are For the Lottery to
Take Place In the Capitol Building,
With Members Of Senate and House
Military Committees as Witnesses.
Transmission of Long Lists of Num-
bers Huge Task.
Washington, July 19-Advices to
Brigadier General Crowder, the pro-
Vost marshal general, indicates that
the national lottery to determine the
order of liability of the 100000 men
registered for military service car
be held Friday
Preparations to make the drawing
Friday went ahead rapidly. although
a final decision as to the date can not
be made until the last governor has
actually reported that the LEGAL ex
emption boards in his state have fin
isned their task.
Details of the mechanism to be Eli
ployed in the drawing have not been
revealed. It is known definitely, how
ever, that present plans are for the
lottery to take place in the Capitol
building, with the members of the
senate and house military committees
as witnesses. The entire proceeding
Is not expected to take much more
than one hour.
General Crowder was-in conference
with the newspaper correspondents
over arrangements for the drawing
The press is relied upon to carry to
individuals throughout the country
the information as to when they Will
be required to appear before exemp-
tion boards and for that reason every
effort is being made to suit the con-
venience Of the papers as to details.
The task of transmitting the long
lists of numbers by telegraph is a
problem of considerable proportions,
but the press associations and tele-
graph companies are making efforts
to insure both speed and absolute ac.
curacy in transmission. There is moro
concern over the task of the individ-
ual newspapers after they receive by
wire the results of the drawing. II
large communities, the problem Of
printing the serial numbers with the
names of the men they represent in
each district attached is one of stag
gering proportions.
Registrants throughout the country
are urged to acquaint themselves with
the serial number allotted each per-
son by exemption boards. The mum
Der placed on the registration cards
is not indicative of the mans order
of liability. He must learn not only
the figure assigned him by the board,
but also the number Of registrants in
his district.

That Is to Say, the Power of
Beast Is to Be Overcome
inFOrH-TWO Months
by Richard Collier.l

The great mystery Of the
most occult book Of the Bible
is the verse in Revelation re-
ladng to the Beast and his
number, 666. A comprehen-
sive study Of this verse, this
number and the relation Of
combinations Of this number to
the present world war, tho
German Empire and the
German Kaiser, would seem
to establish without a doubt
the identity Of the Beast as the
German Kaiser, and the num-
Der 666 as being prophetic Of
his character and acts. And
furthermore, it is established
from this verse that forty-two
months is to be the duration Of
the war. which will bring to an
end the power Of the Beast
