The funeral of Mrs. Mary Foltz was held this afternoon. A message was received here by J. A. Grant from his son, Hale, of Spokane, Wash., announcing the death of his year-old child. Gus Kanne, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kanne, of this city, was very seriously injured in an automobile accident near his home in Illinois Tuesday evening of this week. Mrs. Alda Parkison, Mrs. J. A. McFarland, Mrs. Mary D. Eger and Mrs. Vance Collins are spending the day with Miss Nellie Makeever near Mt. Ayr. A message was floating over the wires throughout the country today to the effect that the government started the work of drawing the men who are subject to draft. The message contained about a dozen numbers supposed to be the ones drawn. The message was probably started by some practical joker, as the government i» not as yet prepared for the work of drawing. No one will know what number they have until notified by the government for every registered man is given a new number at Washington. It will no doubt be two or three weeks yet before it will be known who is drawn in the first draft. Several owners of Maxwell cars of this city are competing for the $50,000 in government bonds which is to be given away by the Maxwell corporation to those making the most mileage on. a single gallon of gas.

Hough 32; George Healey 29.5; Peter McDaniels 28.9.
