"The wedding came about unex

IX PATRIOTIC IH'TY
v Celebrated Ninth Birthday.
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.
