The name o f Leslie O. Root, whose
serial number is 924, ia included in the
list o f those drawn on the first draft
from Wasco county, his number being
called on the 288th draw, and is the
36th person to be drawn on the county
list.
The official quota of Wasco
county ia 23 men to be drafted. Adju-
I tant General White has announced the
names o f the first 46 (double the quota)
j on the list, exclusive o f Indians, as
1 the ones who are called for examina-
1 tion. Mr. Root did not claim exemp-
| tion.
The local exemption l»card, composed
I o f Sheriff Levi Chrisman. County
Clerk L. B. Fox and Dr. J. A. Reuter,
planned to send out the official notices
I to the first 46 men on the county s
draft list on Tuesday o f this week.
The men will be ordered to report
within seven days from the date of the
notice.
It seems almost certain that it will
require at least the calling o f 60 men
' and possibly 80 by the exemption hoard
; to secure the quota for Wasco county.
I A total o f 317 were conscripted in this
| county, which includes the drawings
up to 3000 in Washington and are all
1 that have been supplied to the uress.
: Those who come after 317 in Wasco
I county will be compelled to wait until
! the government sends out the official
1 lists, in order to leave the position of
their numbers. The second call will
; probably include all on the list o f 317
I in this county.
Following are the names, serial
numbers and order drawn in the county
o f the men conscripted in Mosier:
924 Leslie O. Root, 36.
905 Nathan P. Sturgess, 89.
923 Lee Roy Evans, 131.
900 Philip Templemire, 151.
889 Roger W. Moe, 178.

NICH O L & C O M P A N Y
Within a few days official lists of
1 the draft serial numbers, showing the
order in which they were drawn, in
the lottery at Washington, will reach
the various county exemption boards.
Following receipt o f these lists, the
hoards will notify the men called up
j on the first draft.
Until then it will not be necessary
for those subject to call on the first
j draft to report. But as soon as they
receive notification from their boards,
S
they must report promptly on the dav
\ designated.
The first Btep taken by each board
wil1 he to post in a conspicuous place
a list containing the names o f all the
I men registered in its county or dis-
j trict, in the exact order in which they
will be called on the first and all suc
ceeding drafts. And copy o f this list
will also be given the press for publi-
| cation.
Let it be emphasized again that this
list will have not only the names of
the men to be called out on the first
draft, but of every man registered, in
the order in which he must be called.
No person whatsoever has any author
ity to change this order.
Having posted this list and given a
copy to the press, the hoard will then
notify by letter every man called up
on the first draft. Each man will be
directed to appear before the hoard for
physical examination on a specified
date, which will be within seven days
o f the mailing o f the notice.
Failure to receive this notice will
not be accepted as an excuse for not
appearing on the day set. The burden
o f appearing when he is called is on
the man him self; there is a heavy
penalty for failure to answer the call.
Remember,
that regardless
of
whether a man intends to apply for
exemption or discharge, he must
appear for physical examination on the
day set. He has seven days from the
[Misting of the list and the mailing of
the notice to him by the board in
which to file application for exemption,
and 10 more ¿1
days in which to file
proof.
And remember again, that no claims
for exemption because o f employment
in necessary industries,
including
agriculture, can be considered by your
county exemption board.
Such a claim must be made to one of
the three district appeal hoards, at
Portland, Eugene, or La Grande. It
can only he made then after the man
has passed his physical examination
and been certified by the county board
as called for military service and not
exempt.
After you have appeared before your
county exemption board and passed
the physical examination, it will still
be some time before you will actually
be called out to join the army. You
will be notified when it ia time for you
to report for service.
