Elber Bush, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Buslt, celebrated his ninth birthday anniversary Saturday afternoon by inviling a number of i his little school friends at his home on Oak street to a party. When all had assembled the lads were taken by Mrs. Bush to the picture show, after which the rest of the afternoon was spent in playing games so dear to boyish hearts. Then, of course, a party couldn't be a party without "eats," and toothsome refreshments were served which were greatly ap preciated. Those In attendance were Jlmmie Hcrr, William Hammond, George Francis Barron, George Vir gil Gillette, Fobs Kramer, Riley Pit tenger, Lloyd Hatch, Johnson Ruger, George Johnson, Elber and Auten Bush, Oregon carries off first honors for performance of patriotic duty under the selective draft law, as evidenced by an elaborate report submitted by Provost Marshal-General Crowder to the secretary of war. In three par tlculars Oregon led all the other states; In all particulars Its record is far better than the general aver age. . First Oregon furnished more vol unteers, in proportion to population, than any other state; hence its net quota under the draft was the small est In the country. Second Oregon had more coun ties free from the first draft than any other state. Third Oregon registered its regis tration at an average cost of 11 cents per man registered, where the aver age for the country was 54 cents and, in. one state, went to $1.03. In a series of tables showing the operation and result of the first draft, Oregon's record stands forth where all who study may find the indications of achievement. A table showing the costs of the selective service system shows the total ex pense to the government was $5,211, 965. Oregon's share of this total was $6,809. The per capita cost of men examined, as stated, was only 11 cents. Oregon had 63,319 regis trants, of whom 2 890 men were culled and 1,400 accepted. The cost per man accepted was $4.86, as against a general average of $4.93. The low cost In Oregon is due in no small degree to the fact that mem bers of draft and exemption boards and examining physicians contrib uted their services without cost to the government. The examining physicians particularly showed liber ality in this respect, for the total out lay of the government for physical examinations in all Oregon was only $12.40, and the total payment to members of district boards was $1, 412.50. The employes of registra tion and other boards In .Oregon re ceived $3,847, most of this going to clerks and stenographers. Out of 2,890 men called for ex amination in Oregon 1,400 were ac cepted, being 48.44 per cent of the total. The average for the country was 34.30 per cent. In Washington, out of 36,897 men called for examin ation, 11,095, or 30.07 per cent, were accepted. There is but one blot on Oregon's draft record that Is in the matter of slackers. Two hundred and seventy nine of the registrants called failed to appear giving Oregon a slacker record of 8.48 per cent, where the general average for the country was 8.18 per cent. Washington had 3,474 slackers, or 9.42 per cent of those called. As showing more clearly the fine physical condition of the young men of the northwest, General Crowder's tables show that out of 2,622 men ex amined physically In Oregon, 1,947 or 74.26 per cent were found physic ally qualified, "The national average j was 70.89 per cent. In Washington i the percentage was 74.29, in Idaho 78.42 and California 73.83. The national average or regis trants claiming exemption on various ' grounds was 46.05. In Oregon only ; 35.61 of those registered claimed ex-; emption, and 71.62 per cent of those claiming exemption were exempted. Of Oregon's 2,890 registrants called, 1,029 claimed exemption and 737 of these claims were allowed. One hundred and seventy of the Oregon men claiming exemption were from the farm, and of this number 7$ were granted exemption, so that the draft actually took from Oregon farms 92 men. The percentage was heavier in Washington, where 1,149 farmers claimed exemption and only 386 were given exemption.
