ALEXANDRIA Va, Oct. 10.-The
local selective service board has rec
commended that selectees be sent by
chartered bus to Fort Myer for their
preinduction medical examinations
by Army doctors. it was announced
today by Clerk Addison Slaymaker
of the board.
National selective service head
quarters has announced a plan
whereby it expects to have all Sc
lectees examined by Army doctors
instead of by private examining
physicians throughout the Nation on
or before January l, 1912.
Col. w. w. La Prode, State pro-
eurement officer, at Richmond. asked
the local board to determine the
best means of transporting prospec-
tive selectees to Fort Myer for the
medical tests. The board has in
formed the State Office that because
of no direct bus connection between
Fort Myer and Alexandria, 1t is be-
lieved to be more practicable to
charter buses and send the young
men to Army doctors on specified
examination dates.
Meanwhile, the names of seven
Alexandria colored men who are to
be inducted October II were made
public. They are John C. Smith,
James Young, Aaron L. Whitehead,
Louis E. Douglass. Chester j. Reid,
Ozzie Beam and William Parks.
The board has been called on to
supply nine colored men on Novem-
Der and 10 white men on Novem-
Der Is, it was announced.

CHESWOLD ITEMS


The Railroad Company have

the latest best news with us. After
two months or more of car riding
use of the mail and telegraph ser
vice and some inducements offered
by advertising on the part of our
citizens, a company has been pros
pecting and at the last visit decided
to locate their canning plant here
and selected a site for the same.
The continued heavy rain and
damp weather is greatly hindering
the work of farmers and also detri-
mental to the general health of our
community. The wish for old time
weather is general. Lowlands are
covered with water and a great
deal of the growing wheat is there
by drowned out Farmers who
contemplated seeding oats this
spring, have not been able to do so
and many have abandoned the idea
The forecasts by the weather bur
eau have gone below par. Some
of our people are resorting to Al
manac conjecture to aid in fore
casting the future, but say these
are not comforting One of our
dusky sons of Ham looks at the sit
uation in a more serious light and
says, ''if it don't stop rainin' the
ocean is goin' to burst out on us. /"
Water is in cellars where it was
never known to be, and at Bethel
Church the water is of such depth
that the Sexton was unable to
build a fire for Sunday service.
This however is remembered to
