After 2217 of Kimball county's sons registered on June 5th, the next step in the selection of those who should be called into actual military service was undertaken by assigning to each registrant a number, proceeding serially from one upwards, the series being separate and independent for each local board area in the country. Thus each registrant in Kimball county could be identified by citing his Kimball county local board name and his Kimball county serial number. The local board, by which name the selective board for the county has been commonly designated, proceeded to number the cards with red ink numbers, consecutively, without regard to alphabetical arrangement. Five lists were then prepared, one retained for the records of the local board, one copy posted in a conspicuous place in the courthouse, one copy given out for publication by the press, and two remaining copies furnished to the state authorities and the offices of the provost marshal general at Washington. In order then to designate with the utmost impartiality the sequence in which registrants qualified for military service should be called as needed, a single national drawing was held on July 20, 1917, for those who had registered June 5th.
