Trouble in Locating Men Out Of
County; Are Scattered
TO ASSEMBLE HERE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON
-Four Men From Southern District, Six
From Northern Slated for Service
on March 29

From the office of the local exemr
ton board was issued statemen
this moWing that the Grady count.
men for the last increment of tn
first call will assemble at the fedora
building at 4 o'clock on the after
noon of March % and will leave fol
Camp Travis at $40 the following
day, March 20.
Considerable trouble is being expe
rienced by the local board in prepar
ing an official list of those men who
will make up the increment, owing
to the fact that several who are in
line for service have moved away
from Grady county. The board Is
exerting every effort to get in defi-
mite touch with these men, that they
may be inducted into the service at
this time and Grady county be given
credit for them.
This task seems to be hard one,
as they are scattered to various
points from North Carolina to New
Mexico. S. G. Durbin, chairman Of
the local board, is in touch with the
boards in charge Of the territory
governing the last address of the
men. He has made out and for
warded to these hoard, all papers
necessary and has also notified the
men in question that they are order
ed to report indictment into the ma
tional army on March 28. 1t will be
made possible for these men to en-
ter the service from the board under
which their present location is con-
trolled. If they desire, however, they
may come to Chickasha and go with
the other Grady county boys to Camp
Travis.
There are four men called from
the southern board of this county.
Three men from this district in line
for indictment, have left the county.
According to the last and best infor-
nation these men are located as fol
lows: Grover Cleveland McCurdy,
Concord, N. c.; Charlie M. Wake
field, Double Springs, Ala; Reube
Carl Glover, Alamogorda, N NJ
In the northern hoard like con-
dition prevails. Tom Hunter Jane
son is reported at Ft. Smith, Ark;
Clyde NJ. Glasgow, Enid, Okla;
George Sheridan, Socoro, N. M. Six
men are to be sent from the northern
hoard of this county. If these men
ore located and inducted into the ser
vice at this time, only one man from
the southern board and three from
the northern board will be sent from
Chickasha.
Only a tentative list has been made
us by the local board and from this
list the ten men will be selected.
Mr.. Durbin feels confident that the
board will succeed in getting, in defi-
mite touch with at least some of the
men who are out of the county at
this time. Just how many he is un.
able to state today.
An additional list of men, some of
whom are alternates, has been pre-
pared. In the event the men who
are away cannot be checked up at
this time, the quota will doubtless be
completed from the list.
This list is as follows: From the
southern board--Herschal Drennen.
Alfred Russell, Henry NJ Sloan and
Robert E. Lee Oliver.
From the northern board-John
Busby, ]. NJ. Doris, Henry T. Cald-
we'll. George Clifford waite, Ben NJ.

Derickson, e. G. PahIka.
