Uncle Sam�s Army Lottery

Made Nice Drawing Friday July 20 In which Lucky Numbers were well Distributed.

El Campo Furnishes 69 in 687,000 call

For first army in 325 Draft List Wharton County Quota. Only a few of these to go now.

Washington, July 20 -- Number 258 was the first number drawn in America�s human gamble whereby the United States will raise its anti-autocracy army. Secretary of War Baker drew the first number; chairman Chamberlain of the Senate Military Affairs committee drew the second; Chairman Dent of the House Military Committee the third; Senator Warren the ranking Republican member of the Senate Military affairs Committee, the fourth; Representative Kahn, the ranking member of the House Military Affairs committee, the fifth, and Acting Chief General Bliss, the sixth.

At 11:30 a.m. a thousand numbers had been drawn and at 1p.m. two thousand.

When the one thousandth number was drawn No. 19 was reached on the county registration rolls, which indicates that all up to that number will be included among he first 1,000, 000 men drafted, estimating the draft or 1,000 men for every number drawn. When the two thousandth number was drawn No. 158 was reached on the county rolls, and all up to that number will be included among the first 2,000,000 men drafted.

At the last moment a change was made in the entire plans for the army draft, which proceeded at 9:30 a.m., as previously announced.

Master and key numbers were eliminated, and instead every number, from one to the highest number in the largest district, or to 11,100, is being drawn. The order in which the numbers are drawn fixes the order in which the men will be drafted.

The purpose of this drawing was to decide the order in which men registered would be called upon to appear before the local boards for examination as to their fitness to serve in the national army.

The largest registration in any district in the United States was 10,263, so it was necessary that not less than that many numbers should be drawn from the big glass bowl in order that every man registered would have a fair chance. The smallest registration district has 120 men listed.

The total number of registration districts in the U. S. is 4,557. To determine the order of service the numbers were mixed and drawn by blindfolded men, who handed them to an announcer, who called out the number, and it was recorded.

Each number drawn called out the man having a like number in every district in the United States. If no like number existed in any district the number is void as that district is concerned, That is to say, it is known that all numbers from 1 to 120 called out one man in every district in the United states, because there is no district with less than 120 men registered.

The last number drawn was 258, and all men throughout the United States having that serial number on the lists in their registration district are the first called to appear before their board for examination. The next number was 2522. All men having that serial number on the registration districts are the ext to appear, and so on through the numbers in the order in which they came fro the glass bowl.

The first army is to number 687,000 men ahle to serve and without cause for exemption. Estimates of exemptions are made ongoing to sixty per cent of those called out. If this holds about 1,800,000 men will have to be examined to select the first increment of 687,000.

Selective draft was put into effect Friday when a notional lottery at Washington fixed the order of military liability for the ten million young Americans registered for service.

The lottery was held in the public hearing room of the senate office building at Washington with war department officials in charge of the actual drawing and with members of the senate and house military committee as witnesses.

As a result of the drawing every registered man is given a definite place in the liability for service list. 687,000 have been ordered to the colors to fill to war strength the regular army and national guard and to constitute the first increment of the national army. To secure that total 1,374,000 men over the country will be called for examination within a few weeks, officials estimated that two registrants mus be called for every soldier accepted. These 1374,000 will be taken from the head of the liability list, every local district furnishing a fixed quota.

If the Record has the matter aright Wharton county will be called upon for the 48 men, 55 at the outside. This is taken from the fixed quota for the county with enlistments subtracted leaving the figures as stated at 48.

Perhaps El Campo out of this list will be called upon o furnish fifteen out of the list who registered here, on first call, the balance to be held in reserve.

Following is list checked three times as effects Wharton county, names and numbers furnished the Record by county clerk, P.G. Brooks:

July 17, Chas, Gerla one of the most prosperous and best farmer of Taiton neighborhood, was killed at the edge of El Campo by accident.

Mr. Gerla was throun to the ground in such manner that physicians say his neck as broken.

Funeral services over the remains were held Thursday attended by neighbors and friends from far and near after which the remains were put away in Taiton cemetery.
And here is passed a good citizen, loyal to his country and home, a man who has done much for the up building of his community and a man who will be missed by the many.

This paper is made in Canada.

THE CHILD AT THE WHEEL

The new Texas auto traffic law makes it an offense against he laws of the State for a child under 18 years of age to drive an automobile on any public street or highway.
The child at the wheel is one of the most dangerous factors in the operation of the death machines.
The legislature took account of this fact when the new law was drafted. It was expressly provided that children should not act as chauffeurs either in private or rent cars. The lawmakers sough in this way to curtail the careless driving to which many deaths are due.
The law is in effect and should be enforced. Yet there is not a day when children do not drive automobiles in the streets of this city and every other Texas city.
County and precinct officers have declared that the law will be enforced to the letter.
The way to enforce that law is to enforce it.
The people would rather see a strict enforcement of the law than to hear so many promises that ir is to be enforced. -- Houston Post.

This movement is under the supervision of the Mothers Club and deserves the hearty co-operation of all our town people.
