But every man wants to know “where he comes in” and, for that reason, a special effort is being made to publish the complete lists as fast as the names can be placed in order, in linotypeslugs. , _ ...Revised UstThe numbers and names as listed below are according to Saturday morning's associated press reports.

It may be a week before any are notiled.“As soon as we are notified from Indianapolis as to oar quota, for the county, we are instructed to send notices to twice that number of men,’’ h eadded. “If we don’t tftt the quotafrom this number, thenwe will notify more, in order as they have now been drawn.”NAsked as to how many he thinks the county will be assigned as its quota, Mr. Fultz said, “We* feel It will be something less than 2(10, hut how 1 much less we don’t know.Asked as to whether they had gotten official notification, yet, as to the numbers as drawn, Mr. Fulta said they expected thetii to coma later, probably by registered ipail ably they will be substantially as the mewspaper reports are now putting them out, -If Vermillion county’s assigned ! quota should be LJ5, that / wouidr mean that tl\e first 3'5^ A^ames drawn would be given ndtiee, soon,^ fromNewport, to appear there wihtin few days.
