Saturday Is Earliest
Day for Drawing

Washington, July 16.-On the basis
of advices today from various states
where the organization work of the
exemption boards had not been COM
pleted, war department officials said
the drawing for the army selective
conscription hardly could be held be-
fore Saturday at the earliest.
Fifteen states have not reported
the completion of their exemption
boards organization.
The states which have not reported
include Michigan, Montana and North
Dakota.
The process followed by the boards
is to file two copies of their completed
and numbered lists of registrants as
soon as the serial number has been ar
ranged.
No additional information as to the
exact date or exact method Of the
drawing was obtainable Saturday. The
method probably will be announced on
the eve of the drawing and that will
follow Immediately upon receipt OF
official advices that the last local
board has completed it's organization
work and filed its list of numbered
registrants with the state authorities.
There are nearly 1000 district boards
to be heard from, but indications now
are that all will have reported by the
middle of the week and that the draw
ing can be held, if desired, on Satur'
daV.

Proposes Fixed Price
for Farm Product

Washington, July Ex-senator P. J
McCumber of North Dakota gave no.
tice in the senate that he would pro-
pose an amendment to the food con
troll bill, which would fix the price to
be paid the farmer for his wheat on
the basis of a fair profit to him. 1T
Is conceded by everyone that the far
mer is entitled to a reasonable profit
upon his investment" Senator McCum.
ber said. ut requires three-fOurths
as much labor to raise a half crop as
to raise a full crop and he ought to
have greater price for that half crop
than for larger crop. If the farmer
raises good crop the government
should stand ready to say: 4 will see
that you get so much your grain, and
if the market price does not reach that
level I will purchase enough to hold
prices up to the Standard" Senate,
McCumber will put his amendment in
definite form to be offered before the
final vote is taken.

Doctor Featberstone
Discovers Dinosaur

DR.. J. e. Featherstone returned
home on Saturday from Montana
where he made some very interesting
geological discoveries. He has. brought
with him a large number of immense
fossil bones of the giant extinct
Dinosaurs. This specimen was IS
feet in length, the leg bones or femur
are ten inches in diameter, the verte-
brae are seven inches in diameter.
These wonderful specimens are as
hard as stone and turned to iron. The
pelvic bones are % inches in diameter.
These wonderful bones will be of great
interest to the student, as this giant
lizard has been extinct for millions OF
years. In Montana are found "bad
lands" where there are no signs OF life
in the sterile soil and rocks excepting
a stray coyote or the rattlesnake. Here
the student will find a great field OF
happiness. Whole trees are petrlhed
in beautiful colors. Agates are met
with and pillars of clay surmounted
with cap. Of some hard stone, it
stands a monument to- the erosion OF

Good Baseball and Pep VIII
Jump Mess Fund Right Smart

Friday, July 20, will see one of the
hottest games every pulled off in Val
ley City. The fast Rogers bunch are
coming down to take on the local
bunch. This will be real baseball
game and it should be a real crowd as
the receipts go into the Company G
mess fund. Everybody is interested
in Company G. and the care Of the
boys and everybody is, interested in
baseball so it should produce a great
crowd. All of the business houses will
be asked to close from 2 to so as to
enable all to attend the game. The
tickets will be sold by committee of
at least so young women, Mrs. Charles
Peterson, of the Congregational Aux
1liary Guild, will be at the head of this
committee which, assures successful
canvass. Now good folks, come out and
enjoy a good game of ball and by so
doing help swell the mess fund for
Company G. Army rations sometimes
prove not very inviting and fund to
help furnish some of the little good
things for the table is appreciated by
all comanies. 1t is also a reminder of
the folks of home and our interests in
them. It is a qualification to the boys
to know that the home folks who can
not go and fight with them are willing
to do their bit and help make their life
more interesting and add a little COM
fort if possible. You are not restrict
ed to the purchase of one ticket, buy

been ordered and it is hoped they will
all be disposed of at so cents each. Do

Russian Line Is Quiet; Teutons
Lose Heavy Counter Attacks

With somewhat of slackening Of
| the Russian offensive in Galicia owing
to bad weather, the French and the
Germans along the Chemin Des Danes
and in Champagne have come together
in mighty struggles in which the ad
vantage rested mainly with the former
forces.
In Champagne north of Mont Haut
and northeast of the Teton, the French
in violent attack captured powerfully
front of more than 800 yards and to
depth of more than 300 yards and
consolidated them northwest and in a.
heavy counter attack the Germans suf-
fered heavy loss and suffered in addi-
tion to 180 men made prisoners, the
loss Of some heavy guns.
Along the Chemin Des Danes, the
German, after heavy artillery pre-
paration, threw heavy forces against
the French line. The battle waged
throughout the night but, although the
Germans broke through the French
line at several points, daylight saw
them completely evicted except from
front line trenches about 500 yards IN
length. Berlin war Office claims the
capture of $50 prisoners in the fight
ing.
In Flanders at various points the
British and Germans continue to carry
out intensive artillery duels and the
British to make successful raids on
German positions.
Although rain and swollen streams
are initiating against the fast prose-
cution Of the Russian offensive in CALI
cia, the troops of General Brusiloff
nevertheless have driven the Aus
trians from positions southwest Of Ka-
lusz and taken more than a thousand
prisoners and a number Of guns. Ap-

Farmers Elevator Is
Nearing Completion

Kathryn Recorder: Another three
weeks will very likely complete the
work on the elevator If not too much
delay is caused by non-delivery of ma.
terial The outer ring is completed
and is GA feet high. The upper bins
are completed, and over these a roof
will be constructed from the outer
edge of the outer ring, extending to
the inner ring. This ring will rise
about % feet above the top of the up
per bins. When this roof over the
upper bins is completed work will pro-
gress rapidly as there will be only one
ring to construct. Steel for the work
floor in the elevator has been laid and
is ready for pouring as soon as gravel
arrives. The power plant building is
completed and ready for installation
of machinery. The base for the en-
gine consists of a solid block of con-
crete II feet by 13 feet and five feet
thick. The material used in construc-
ting this base consists Of one large
car load of sand and gravel and ex-
actly one hundred sacks of cement.
The Sheyenne Valley Bank corner
and vicinity presents a very busy
scene. The floor Of the bank block
is laid and brick work will soon be
started. The false work for the base
of outside brick walls has been erect
ed and concrete for the base has been
poured There are now FIVE brick
layers on the job and they certainly
do make things move.
The walls of the Thoreson Runck
Larson block are completed and the
