THREE OFF WEDNESDAY

FIRST OF JASPER COUNTY QUOTA ORDERED TO CAMP TAYLOR. Wednesday flight, September 5, 1917, at 11:10, three of the fifty-six from Jasper county become members of the conscripted army that are to train to take part in the great struggle now going on between autocracy and democracy. At that time they will take the train here for Louisville, Ky., and on Thursday morning will enter Camp Taylor. The three selected to lead Jasper county’s quota are: Carroll W. Leatherman, Remington. Othel Caldwell, Rensselaer. John Kriz, Newton township. On Sept. 19, forty per cent more will be sent forward; early in October another forty per cent .will be called and a little later the other fifteen per cent will be sent. On account of the large number of exemptions that are being allowed it may be necessary to call for more men that we may have our full quota of fifty-six.
