DRAFT MEN CHOSEN TO FILL NEW CALLSList of Those to Be Sent to Columbus Baracks Next Month Made Up By BoardThe Portage county registrants to be sent to Columbus Barracks, Ohio, in July for general military service will be chosen from lists made up by the local board today. The number to be sent to Columbus Barracks, is 60. but this will be divided into two parties of 30 each, one to go during the five-day period beginning July 5 and the other during the five-day period beginning July 15. Entrainment instructions have not yet been received.The board will hold a meeting again cn Wednesday, July 3, at 1 p. m. to hear any claims that may be presented for deferred calls on agricultural grounds. Owing to the large draft calls that have been issued during the last several weeks, local boards must necessarily exercise great care in passing on agricultural claims in order to avoid exhausting class one. As a result only agricultural workers absolutely essential to the operation of farms on which they are located can be excused, even temporarily.In the list published below there will be more than enough men to fill the two calls. Those left over from the July 5 list will be placed on the top of the July 15 list, and those left from the latter list will be put in the call for the five-day period beginning July 22, when 135 men will be sent to Camp Grant. The list for Camp Grant will be made up by the board at its meeting on July 1.Thn lists for Jnlv 5 and 15 follow:Steve Paul Tuszkowski, StevensPoint.Herman Tokarski, Stevens Point.
