The Boys Who Go Military Draft

Call For Five Extra

Call Of Uncle Sam To Be Answered By Fifty.

Extra Call to Overcome Any Sickness or Other Cause of Inability to Answer Draft -- Report Jan. 26.

     Below is the list of men called in the present draft for Humboldt county.  Five extra men are called, to take the places of any who may fail to respond from perfectly legitimate reasons.  These boys will leave for Camp Dodge where they will take the military training necessary to convert them into soldiers of Uncle Sam.
     A finer body of men never left the county.
     This is simply another addition to the roll of honor, for it is an honor to go on the military duty of the United States.

     The above named 56 registrants have been notified to appear for entrainment on February 26th.  There are, however, 50 men to be sent to Camp Dodge, and the extra names are added for the reason that some men may not be able to appear.  All names will be taken in the order in which they appear on this list, and in the case 50 men report for service before the complete list is exhausted, the remaining named men may not be sent.
