Edmond was born at the home of his grandparents just sev- en weeks prior to the taking of the $560.00 bond for him. During the greater part of last week automobile traffic through Penns valley was unusually heavy, due in part to the fact that farmers from all parts of the Btate visited Pennsylvania State Col- lege.

The local boards will number serial- ly all registration cards, Duplicate cards bearing the serial numbers will fice in each state to prevent any possi- bility of a number being changed on a card after the drawing has been made, The Government will begin the greatest ‘‘ Jottery’* in history in Washington. The serial numbers for each disriot will be placed in a wheel and drawn until the requisite number has been taken, The numbers will be telegraphed and later mailed to each local exemption board, SYSTEM I8 SIMPLE, The same numbers drawn will ap- ply, of course, to each registration die- trict in the United States, so the act- ual drawing will take a comparatively short time, For example, if No. 14 je among the pumbers drawn the per- son whose card bears the serial rum- ter 14 in each district of the several thousand will have béen selected for service and will have to present bhim- self for physical examinations and, if has claims for exemption, before the board for a hearing. As the Provost Marshal General's office will not have the least possible way of knowing who of the thousands of young men happen to hold the var- ious serial pumbers in the nearly 5,- 000 districts, there i2 no chance what- ever for the drawing to be juggled. By centralizing the drawing at Was bing- ton the great fear that has been ex- pressed of local favoritism being shown in drawing is done away with, It political influence comes to eave some young men from service, it will have to be before the boards or the ap- pe:l boarde in an open hearing on a claim for exemption. GOVERNORS INSTUCTED Instructions have been mailed out by thousands to the Governors of the various states telling in detail how the local exemption boards shsll be organ- ized and giving them full directions in the numbering of the registration cards serially preparatory to the draw- ing. That will be first work to be done. As soon as it is out of the way, the drawing will te held at Washing- ton, with July 15 as the probable day, CENTRE COUNTY BOARD, In Centre county the the members of the draft exemption board will con- sist of George H.
