The smallest registrant on the
rolls of Dunklin county draft records
is Ionic Paul, of Maiden. He ap-
peared for examination Thursday
morning. When he entered the Of
flee of the local board in his faith
er's arms, he was easily mistaken for
a three or four year old child. This
registrant measured sc inches in
height and weighed 40 pounds. He
was in perfect health and has a per-
fectly formed body, but he seems not
to have grown any since he was four
years Of age. Like his body, his
mind is also undeveloped While
complying with all rules of the
draft he was required to register
and appear in person for examina-
ton, but was of course placed in
class on account of his physical
fections.-Dunklin Democrat.

Influenza Deaths Are Great
er Than U. S. Army Casualties

Washington, Nov. 21.-The recent
epidemic Of influenza in the United
States caused more deaths than oc-
CURED among the American Expe-
dictionary forces from all causes
from the time the first unit landed
in France until hostilities ceased.
This announcement today by the
census bureau was based on unof-
fetal estimates of the total casual
ties among the overseas forces and
reports from fOrty-siX cities having
a combined population of 100000,
which showed S2,306 deaths from
influenza and pneumonia from Sep
TENDER 8 to November 8.
Normally these cities would have

had four thousand deaths from these
causes during this period, 1t was
said. leaving approximately $4,000
as the number properly chargeable
to the epidemic.
The total casualties in the Amer
lean expeditionary forces, said the
announcement, have recently been
unofficially estimated at 100000. On
the basis of the number reported, it
may be assumed that the deaths from
all causes. including disease and ac-
cidents, are probably less than As
per cent and not be more than 40
per cent of the total casualties. On
this assumption the loss of life in
the American expeditionary forces
to date are about 10000 or $4,000.
The total number of deaths due
to the influenza epidemic in this
country is not known, the announce
ment said as only the forty-six citi-
es for which figures were given re-
port vital statistics to the census de-
partment. The greatest mortality
due to the epidemic in proportion to

with some $30O,OOO.OOO for 1917. Thus
the public roads have been changed
with bewildering rapidity from the
status of the purely local utility to that

1t is we'll known that the railroads of

GOAT RANCH FOR
MONITOR RANGE

Goat culture on large scale is to
be introduced in the Monitor range
in Nye County, where herd of 375
nannies and billies will be seen as
soon as they cover the distance be-
tween Tonopah and their destination.
according to correspondent of the
Gazette. The distance is 60 miles.
and it is estimated that it will take
five days for the flock to come to the
end of the trail. They are owned by
p. V. Meyer. who believes there is a
great future in Nevada for goat
raising, as the animals can thrive on
feed found among the sagebrush and
in the hillside canyons where loose
shrubbery is ample to tickle their ap-
petites. This particular lot will be
located in Willow Greek valley.
Goat meat finds ready sale in most
Nevada distributing centers camou-
flaged as mutton, and the young ones
pass muster any day of their youth
for dainty lambkins. The clip is
worth dollar a pound and the ami
mails are not susceptible to any OF
the dangers that beset sheep. They
are said to be able to stand off coy
otes and in this manner alone will
effect an immense saving over SINH
lar investment in mutton. The price
of mohair. which is the technical
name for the clip, is rising rapidly
owing to the scarcity of the raw ma
terial and the fact that the European
and Mexican supply is shut off by
hostilities and transportation Difficult
ties.
Another claim to the credit of the
goat is that the percentage of loss Of
the new born kiddies is so slight as
to be almost negligible. The value
of the new meat supply is between
SIS and So a head, according to the
condition of the flock.

SMALL QUOTA FOR NEVADA
EXPECTED IN SECOND DRAFT

II NAV be that Nevada will be
called upon to furnish but few men.
and possibly none, in the second draft.
which will probably be called soon.
This is the opinion of Adjutant
General Sullivan. based upon the
fact that 700 new enlistments have
been reported from one depot alone.
with an over supply of 49 men on the
first draft, for which credits will be
given on the second. The Adjutant
General has asked the War Depart
ment for exact figures on how many
enlistments this State will be credited
with since June 80, on which date
credits for the first draft ceased.
A report has reached the Adjutant
Generals office from Fort Mcdowell,
Calf. and shows that 1882 enlist
ments from Nevada have passed
through that depot. Of that num-
Der 382 were credited to the first
draft, leaving a net credit on enlist
ments passing through that depot
of 700 men to be applied on the Sec
ond draft.
Other depots, it is believed, will
add several hundred additional cred
its to this State.
Nevada was called upon to furnish
1888 men in the first draft but, with
the credits was only required to fur
nish 1861. The quota was over sup
piled. 100 men being furnished,
creating another credit of 40 men.
The Adjutant General is of the op-
inion that the second draft will call
for fewer men than did the first and
believes that it will not. in any event
be any larger than the first.
The enlistments from Fort Mellow
ell, where men recruited in the west
ern portion of the State are sent,
was complete up to and including
February T. Since that date enlist
ments have been plentiful at Reno
and other points in the State.
No report has been received from
Fort Douglas, Utah, to which post
the men recruited in White Pine.
Elko, Humboldt and other counties
in this section of the State are sent.
No credits are given for enlist
ments in the navy or marine corps.
In the former branch of the service
Nevada has furnished 16l men and
in the latter 81.

THE SPIKER IS

 BOYS IN FRANCE

A copy of 'Thc Spiker' published somewhere in France" by the 18th Engineers of the U. S. Army has been received in Seward. 1t has a page de- voted to baseball and sports. There is news about the "boys" and lots of funny stunts. The drawings are olig- inal and show exceptional skill, indi- eating that there must be some pretty good artists among the staff members.

of "The Spiker" is like wandering amid green fields and meadows of originality and refreshing Yankee bu. nor. A nation with a spirit like that which shines through the pages was never born to be made the slaves of any people on earth, especially of the ruthless German military kul,ur.
