Here and There
A letter received by the local reg
istration board from the adjutant
general's office states that each
ccunty will receive credit for the vol
unteer enlistments in the army since
June 30 last, in filling the next army
quota. On a population basis, the
gross quota of Josephine county was
69. As the county had already fur
nished more than that number of
men by enlistments in the army prior
to that time, this county was not
called upon for any in the draft.
