SERIOUS WATER SHORTAGE
In ALL PARTS OF STATE

Kansas is face to face with an
acute water shortage that promises
to play havoc in the stock raising
communities, unless a general rain
comes within the next ten days to
alleviate the condition. Reports
from practically all parts of the state
indicate that a majority of the stock
wells, as well as many in the cities,
where water is necessary for the
manufacture of ice, are going abso-
lutely dry.
Abilene, is in the dry zone and
would undoubtedly suffer a shortage
il it were not for Sand Springs. Sew
eral nearby towns are experiencing
the water shortage.

THESE MEN WILL GO TO CAMP
IN NEXT TWO WEEKS
On August 20, Twenty-Eight Men

and % More Between Sep
tember 4 and q

Dickinson county will break all
records in furnishing men for Uncle
Sam army in the next two weeks
when she furnishes 101 men for the
service. These men will be taken
by three draft calls and 1t is a GER
tainty that men who register on Au-
gust "a. 1918. will be used in help
ing fill up the last quota for the
county. Every class one man who
registered June 5, 1918. will be in
the service before September 6.
All Came at Once
The three draft calls which will
take 101 men from this county with
in the next two weeks, have come
in rapid succession. Many boys who
thought they would not be in the
service before December, will an
swer the country's call by Septem-
Der. The registration of youths
who have become 81 years of age
since the last registration day, was
set for August "a, In order that
enough men could be secured to fill
all calls.
% Go August 20
On August 26, Dickinson will send
twenty-eight registrants to FIT. Riley.
The names of these men, including
the alternates, were previously print
ed in the Reflector. The men who
go for this call are all 1918 regis
trants. Besides the men who go
with this contingent, = the local board
will induct a few more 1918 men
into the service to fill vacancies left
| by 1917 men who failed the physical
examination at Camp Funston and
FIT. Riley.
Six Go August 80
| A call, which has been announced
officially from the adjutant general s
Office at Topeka but has not as yet
been received by the Dickinson local
board, takes six men from the coYn-
ty on August 30. These men will
be 1918 registrants. The call will
be composed of one negro and FIVE
white registrants.
81 Go September 1 to @
The largest call to be received by
this county for over three months,
is one received today, calling for
sixty-seven men to entrain from the
county between September 1 and 6.
Probably not local board in the
state will be able to fill its quota in
the big call for men to go to Camp
Funston during the five days begin
ming September 1, from men now
| listed as being in class one, accord
| ing to draft officials in the office OF
Charles S. Huffman, adjutant gen.
eral. Nearly every county in the
state will have to draw on the men
| who Will register next SATURDAY, anu
it is probable that even then few
of the counties will not be able to
fill their quotas under the allot-
ments made against them. In case
there are not enough class one men
in any county after the new regis
trants are ready for induction, adj
justments of the allotments may
have to be made, to give the coun-
ties with larger class one lists,
larger quotas, to make up for a
shortage of men in other counties.
A send-off is to be given the boys
who go to FIT. Riley, Monday, August
26. A good send-off will also be
given the boys who go August 80
