"VOL. XC. A., SATURDAY I's DRAFT DAY, Districts Are Filing Their List at State Hendguarters .Nevere Treatment for “hoss Falllog to Appear When Qalled, Draft day will be next Saturday, or, at the latest, the following Monday. This statement was made at the office of Provost Marshal General Crowder on Baturday. At the time 3671 locsl exemption boards of 45564 had filed their liste, That the draft may be expedited Giieral Crowder announced it will nol be necessary for the boards to for- ward duplicate lists to Washington before the drawing can te made, [el- egraphie notice that the central board in state has received the lists will be eafficient, The Government mere- ly wishes to make sure that the serial numbers ate in responsible hands where they cannot be tampered with, An important announcement con- cerning the handling of the conscripts after they have been drafied was made by General Crowder, It makes esch state responsible for the details of pre-|i paring their quotas for service. The state wachinery will not be under fed- eral regulation, but the states theme eelves will be responsible for getting the men out, having their cases passed upon sud mobil zing them at the raile rosd sistious for transportation to traivirg camps when the president calls them ou‘, probably about Bep- tember 1, It is said if a man after being drafted fails to sppear before the local board, he will be listed es * held for military seivice”, When he is called upon to go to csmp, if he fails to appear, he will be arrested as a deserter, If he is living away from the district in which he registered, however, the ten day limit will not etand, Bay he is in Washington and registers in Ban Fravcisco, He can write to ask for a tranefer to the board supervising the cisiriet in which he now resides, This exchange may take wore the stipulated ten days, but the wan is privileged to claim exemption and ask a physical examination and that time provided the Ban Francisco reply doesnot come within the ten days, Credits for enlistments in the regular army were given on the basis of the place clslmed as home by the recruit Lo matler where he has enlisted, For that reason the credits in this regard bear no relation whatever to the num- ber of men who have been recruited in any state, With the district distribution of the regular army credits supplied to them the governors have much of their work of fixing the quotas of exemp- tion districte in their stales already done for thew, A similar division by residence of nations! guardsmen must be made, the resul ing district totals added to the regular army credit fig- ures apd Lhe sum deducted fiom each dletriel’s gross quota as computed on the basis of population. S———— i ———————— 2500 Would Help In Harvest, The state bureau of employment, a branch of the state department of labor and industry, Is taking steps to secure men for aiding farmers in harvesting. Employers are being reguested to send to the capitol the umber of men in their employ who have had farm ex- perience and would be willing to work in the fields this year to aseist in har- vesting if they can be spared from their daily occupation, To date approximately 2500 men have enrolled for temporary return to the farm, : The department anncunces that dur- ing June it bad 3,141 applicants for places, 3,171 applications from emply- ers for workers ; 2,824 persons were re- ferred to positions and 2,045 places. June is one of the best months, ——— A ———————— A Stamp L'eking Nation, Btamp licking may soon rank with golf ss an expensive pastime ifthe rev- enue bill now before the Benate passes in its present form. At least that's the way one statistics lover looks at it, The bill calle for stamps for bank checks, stamps for steamship tickets, stamps for vollng proxies, for stock certificates, and every known form of legal document. Altogether, says the statistical expert, there will be enough stampe to require 16,606,666 hours of time for the simple process of licking them. That would take 5,666 men ten hours a day for a year to lick all the stamps. AL $5 day they would cone sume $8 888,588 worth of time, This estimate seems to consider only the licking. The labor of pressing the slams on the documents would add rot an ipcopsidersble smount to the total. And the revenue to be yielded by all this stamp licking will be only $30,000,000, Its a painful outlook, to be sure, une less perbaps it diverts the public from the older pastime of gum-chewlng, ———— A TA A ———— Commissioner W.
