Called to Camp Dodge.
The local board received orders yesterday to assemble the balance of the county’s quota for the first draft, on Sunday, Feb. 24th and entrain them the day following. 76 men will be sent to complete the quota and the board has prepared a provisional list, including four alternates. The list may be changed slightly by returns on exemption claims now under consideration by the district exemption and medical advisory boards. Parties whose claims are rejected by either of these boards will be placed in the list in their proper order, which will operate to leave some of those appearing at the end of the list out of the number sent. Just how many will be thus affected cannot be stated until all the returns from the boards are received.
