SENDS LETTER.

George J. Zebley, a son Of Mrs. M.
Zebley Of MoOrhead, who enlisted in
thee United States navy from the Far
go recruiting station over four years
ago, recently wrote a letter to his
mother in Moorhead telling of his ad-
vancement in the service and which
letter Was forwarded to Mr.. Patterson,
the local recruiting officer.
On enlisting. young Zebley became
a seaman apprentice and at the, end
of his first enlistment was rated as
quartermaster. third class, and in his
letter, he tells Of the work in that ca
pacity. Following his second enlist
ment he found that the electrical de-
partment of the navy was more to his
liking and offered exceptional oppor
tunities for a young man. He imme-
diately sent in a requisition for in
struction in the electrical school and
has just finished a course in electri-'
city n wireless telegraphy. On be-
ing sent to sea again, he was promot-
ed to the rating of electrician, second
class, and is now deeply interested in
his new work. -
The training he received in the
Brooklyn navy yard training station
is no doubt one of the most complete
courses under government supervision
and the future looks bright for the
young man. In addition to learning
the electrical end of the work, he has
also acquired a thorough knowledge
Of wireless which means additional
pay and promotion. Zebley has also
seen considerable Of the western coast
and the world covered by the Asiatic
squadron in the western seas. In his
many letters to his mother, he tells
some very interesting anecdotes of his
experiences in the Philippines and
China.
According to the last letter receiv-
ed, Mr.. Zebley intends to push ahead

The applicants yesterday were

Many letters reach Judge Witten's
office, asking for blanks from persons
who have the erroneous impression
that they can register by mail. All
persons desiring to register must ap-
pear in person at one Of the register
ing points. No one except soldiers and
sailors, their widows and orphaned
children who are minors may register
by agent.
There has been established head

ance to you in enforcing the attend

you give it the widest publicity.
AS you doubtless know, the special
duty of this Office is now to aid and

I wish at this time to solicit your
active cooperation in this matter.
There is only one way to improve the
rural schools in a large and speedy
way, and that is consolidate them.
Consolidation is now long past, the ex-
detrimental stage; for already thirty
five states in the union and forty
three counties in the state, have it in
successful operation. There are now
in the state 115 towns and seventy
five open country consolidated schools.
During the last year, the growth of
consolidation has been phenomenal.
This number should be doubled with
in the next year. / shall be very
glad to hear from you concerning this
matter. If a, meeting of a patrons and
voters should be called in any. dis

subject, I would make an extra effort
to be with you on that occasion If
SO desired: or if you wish me to
