FRIDAY DATE TO DRAW NUMBERS FOR MEN 2l
Draft Order of Nearly 800,O00 Youths Will Be Decided
 by Lottery.

Washington, June 25.-Friday of this week was fixed by the war department today as the date for the drawing to establish the draft order of nearly 800,000 young men of 21 who registered for military service June 5.
 The drawing will be held at the Senate office building, where the great lottery was conducted last year to establish the order of service of the 10,000,000 orig inal registrants under the select i've draft law. It will begin at 9 a. m., and according to the plan, should be completed before noon.
 In the first drawing it was necessary to use 10,500 numbers in order to cover the lists of the largest draft boards. This time, it is estimated that the longest roll of new registrants hardly will exceed 1000 so 1,200 cap- sules with numbered slips will be drawn from the bowl.

Missourians should remember thai
Judge Waller w. Graves, long a dis.

court, is candidate for reelection
this year.
There is, of course, no opposition to
Judge Graves, although the Republi-
cans have gone through the formality
of nominating candidate against
him. The bar of the State is almost
unanimous in its support of Graves,
and he will in all human probability
be returned to the bench by a vote
that will not only reflect great credit
upon the people of the State, but will
be a compliment to that brilliant as
sembly OF jurists who constitute the
Supreme Court of Missouri.

James O. West, of Mound Township
Dead.

James Orten West, one of Mound
Townships most extensive farmers
died at his home in the township
Sunday, October E, of paralysis of the
throat:
Mr.. West was formerly contract
or in Kansas City and a few months
ago he retired from that business and
with his wife cameto this county and
purchased 800 acre farm on which
they have since resided. They had
made great plans for the future, in
the way of improving the place and
making a modern, comfortable coun-
try home. He had put out large
crop of wheat and it is thought that
the hard work done in that connec-
ton by Mr.. West had great deal
to do with aggravating the trouble
that caused his death.
The body was shipped to Kansas
City Wednesday, where funeral SER
vices will be held at the Slime & Nc
Clure undertaking parlor
Mrs. West says that she will stay
on the farm and endeavor to carry
out the plans that she and her hus-
band had made and where they had
hoped to spend many happy years.
