W. M. MUSCRAVE
I TO SPEAK HERE
FRIDAY NIGHT
Prominent Lecturer to Give

throughout North Dakota, Wayne M:

Security league Of New York. will de-
liver a lecture in the city hall tomor-
ROY. evening. j..
Throughout the north central states
Mr.. Musgrave has found no few fol-
lowers for his doctrine Of patriotism.
His addresses in many Of h import
ant cities Of the northwest have been
heard by thousands of people and 1t
is expected that he will be greeted
by a packed house tomorrow night.
The National Security league OF
New York is a patriotic organization
and the tour being made by MI. Mus
grave has bee sanctioned as one
method of arousing Americans to
stand back Of the administration in
the present crisis.
Mr.. Musgrave is a speaker of no little
ability. He won honor while a stu
dent at Yale and his activities in civil
life have brought him even greater
credit. Because of his oratorical abil-
ity he was selected as the represen-
tative of the league to visit the north
central states.
New phases of he war situation and
the problem before America today will
be outlined by the speaker. He is an
authority on national subjects and
comes to Grand Forks highly recon-
lmended. ~

BUDGET PLANS
ARE UNDER WAY
City Council Considers Ap.
plications Of Departments
at Informal Meet.

Preliminary steps were taken last
evening by the city council. at the in
formal session to prepare the annual
budget for the ensuing year. No
definite action was taken but the APP
plications Of the various departments
was. given consideration and will be
included in a formal report to be read
and acted upon at the regular meet
ing of the council to be held next
Monday evening.
Indications are that the expendi-
lures for the coming ear will be
somewhat larger than in. the past, due
to the fact that city employees, are
entitled to. an increase in salary, to
be in harmony with the increased
cost of living. Just how many
changes will be made has not been
ascertained. .
On Monday evening the aldermen
will again convene to complete the
budget and prepare the formal re-
port to be presented Monday night.

Had the fire reached the buildings
Of the Chautauqua grounds and the

destroyed. Flames broke put several
times within the last week but were
held back by members Of two com.

It was at first believed that the fire
had been purposely set by some one
but it later developed that a farmer
had been burning brush in the vicin:

time threatened a large amount 20

father, sister or brother wholly de-
pendent upon them? 1t is possi.b to
approximate this from census figures.
The last census showed 10 per cent
of the men in the age group .1O-to24
were unmarried In the group 25-to-
49, AZ per cent were single. This
would indicate that only Ais per cent
of all the men registered have wives
and families.
But some of these married me,l
have incomes which make their farl-
lilies independent This however, is
a small group. Most married NEIL
and most other men-haVe to work
for a living.
To this group, too, tnust be aided
the single men with dependent faith
ers, mothers, brothers or sisters. Just
how large this group is, is one OF the
delicate exemption questions.
Responsible officials are inclined to
make liberal allowance for those
with dependents. If to the a2.5 per
cent of married men be added the
group who have other dependents the
number of men exempt because OF de-
pendents will be close to so per cent
or 4,153,S47 men. This leaves the
same number available.
But of these 4,153,S47 men, 250 out
of every thousand will have to be
eliminated because Of physical de-
fects This means approximately
1,03S,250 men must be rejected be-
cause they are unfit to serve.
This leaves 3,l15,597 fit young men
waiting to see whether they will be
selected for service. Out of this three
million must come the first army
1t is now announced the war de-
