WASHINGTON, July 16. Formal
announcement was made by the war
department today that 6S7.000 men
: will be selected from those registered
In June for the first national war army
and to till up vacancies In the national
guard and the regulctr army.
The quota of men which western
states will be required to furnish fol
lows:
Arizona 3,472
Arkansas 10.267
California 23.060
Colorado 4,753
daho J.2S7
Ulinoi 61,653
Iowa 12.749
Kansas .' 6,439
Minnesota 17.S54
Montana 7,872
Nebraska 8.1S5
Nevada 1,051
New Mexico 2,292
North. Dakota 5,606
Oklahoma 15,564
Oregon 7'7
South Dakota 2,717
Texas 30,545
Utah 2,370
Washington 7,296
Wyoming 810
Alaska 696
Hawaii None
Small net quotas in many states are
accounted for by heavy enlistments
in the national guard and regular army.
Oregon, for instance, Is given a net
quota of only 717 for this reason,
whereas her gross quota based upon
the population estimate would be sev
eral thousand.
The table from which the net quotas
were compiled shows that all enlist
ments in the national guard and reg
ular army up to June 30 have been al
lowed at credits. The instruction to
governors from the secretary of war
accompanying the table directs gov
ernors of the various states to allot the
state quota as given among the exemp
tion board districts, so that each board
in each district will know exactly the
number of men to be furnished by the
district In filling the state quota.
Contrary to expectations, the gov
ernment has allowed credit for the
total strength of the national guard,
including all those men who were In
the service prior to April 1 and who
have been retained. The figures arej
given as follows:
Total strength of the national guard
on April 1, 1917, 164,292.
Enlisted in the national guard be
tween April 1 and June 30, 183,719.
Enlisted in the regular army be
tween April 1 and June 30, 117.974.
Total credits allowed for, 465,985.
This means that according to the
estimates of the government officials,
"' the United States now has enrolled
or under arms approximately 46709
men classed as war volunteers and
therefore constitute credits to be al
lowed to the states from which they
enlisted.
A definite place in the waiting lists
for selection in the new national army
will be given every one of the millions
Arho registered, It became known today.
Those called first for service will have
their places in line filled by other reg
istrants In order.
A separate number will not, of
. course, be drawn for every one who
registered, but each number taken
from the box will call for the selection
of more than four thousand men, or
one from each of the districts.
With 1000 exemption boards not yet
organized and only 24 states having
completed the work of numbering ser
ially the registration cards, Indications
. are that the first drawing will be de
ferred until the week of July 23.
Officials have not disclosed the plans
of the drawing itself, but it is be
lieved that numbered slips will be en
closed In capsules and drawn from a
large glass vessel in Secretary Baker's
offices.
To those exempted, the war depart
ment, it Is announced, will give with
each exemption certificate a bronze
button, "Exempted--U. S." This Is in
tended to remove from the exempted
any suspicion of being shirkers.

Eight pairs of twins in the school are
the cause of the complexity of the sit

Three pairs are boys, three girls and
two "fifty fifty."
In Miss Erline Jeskallek's third
grade class are three pairs Newell

Poulson and Walter and Wade White.
In each case the twins are as much
alike as peas In a pod.
In confidence It Is whispered that

FAILURE OF CROP IS
THREATENED AS
SPELL IS UNBROKEN
BAKER, Or., July 17. Continued
drought since early last month has
put many dry land farmers out of bus
iness. Crops of grain and fodder are
completely burned up. Many are leav
ing farms and going with teams to
work for others, losing all the year's
work and their investment for seed
which was large this year on account
of high prices. Rain now would do
them no good and they have given up
in despair.
Several hundred homesteaders and
small farmers are affected, and mer
chants in Baker and other towns will
be hard hit ,as they were carrying
many on their books whose crops are
an 'absolute failure. Haying is now
going on with prospect of a good crop
at first cutting; but a forecast based
on reports from all grain sections in
dicates that not over a third of the
normal grain crop ill! be harvested.
The acreage is much larger, too, than
in any previous year. The drought
has brought many to' greatly reduced
circumstances and will mean the loss
of practically all their possessions.
PENDLETON, Or., July 17. All
heat records tor the sea'son were bro
ken Monday when the mercury shot
up to 107. The hottest previous days
were Saturday and Sunday, when the
official maximum was 102. Hot winds
combined with the hot sun of the past
three days have done considerable
damage to grain, and unless cool
er weather and rains come soon there
Is serious danger of losing much
wheat.
Spring grain in particular has been
hart hit; in light land sections It Is
so burned that some crops will amount
to but little. Fall sown stuff is fur
ther advanced and is standing the
heat much better.
The crop situation generally In East
ern Oregon and Eastern Washington
is not encouraging, and unless rain
in good quantity falls soon, there are
prospects of complete failure. Gar
den truck In others sections, down the
Willamette valley particularly in Ore
gon, is also badly in need of rain.
In Idaho, too, the Same situation ex
ists, Moscow reporting that the dis
trict is in danger of losing its entire
crop unless there is rain within a few
days.
In the Walla Walla country, it has
been estimated that the wheat crop
has been damaged 40 per cent by the
long dry spell. '
