Crop Prospects Good
In This Section OF N. D.
Crop Prospects Continue Favorable in
this Section of Missouri Slope
Government Estimate

Crop prospects in the country
tributary to the Missouri river in
this section continues favorable. So
Tar as Sioux county is concerned
the 1917 crop is now made, but the
yield will depend largely on weather
conditions during the next two or
three weeks
Tributary to Fort Yates all crops
are looking good. The hail Il week
ago today, however, damaged the
crop in spots, but indications are
that wheat will yield an average
crop. The wheat is all headed out
but is thin in places and the yield
will depend ON how the heads fill.
The largest acreage i'm this section
is cropped to flax, and both early
and late sown flax is looking fine.
There is also a few fields of rye i'm
places which will be ready to har-
vest soon, and except where winter
killed will yield average returns.
In the Scfrdge nciglborlood,
where 10000 acres was broken and
seeded to flax this spring prospects
are also excellent and the farmers
are very optimistic about the out
look. North of Mcintosh and from
there west crop reports are also en-
couragins. In fact crops are re-
ported GOOD as far west as the
Adams county line. In the Shields
locality favorable prospects also
prevail, but it is reported that west
of there conditions are not 50 good
From Cannonball and Solcn tho
reports for good crop returns are
also promising on both sid es of the
Cannonball river ,~Iaken altogether
the outlook IS twice as good "a q
year ago, and with high prices as.
sured for all kinds of grain the
North Dakota farmer is in a posi-
ton to face the future with cheer
full confidence. ...

July crop report for North Dakota

20 God, unfit.
Would that this narrow pent-in self
Renouncing pauvre dia5le pelf
Might find a soldiers place to dig
For fair Democracy grown big.
With ancient longing all forgot,
For aye, long to share the lot
or those consumed as candles are
To wage this God-appolnted war
For freedom destined to retrieve
World-iustice, right for those who grieye
In vain. while wealth and pelf and arms
Rob manhood of its primal charms.
o God, rejected! I'm unfit
To DO and die aud do my 'bit'n'

Drawing Conscription
Army Will Begin Soon
Drawing Will Probably Begin Saturday
-Numbers Drawn Will Probably Be
Know Early Next Week

According latest available infor-
nation from Washington the lot
terry for drawing the selective con-
scription army will begin Saturday
and it is expected that the numbers
drawn will be made public early
next week.
The drawing will be done by SER
ial number. Each man who regis
tered for military duty on June
9Th, and subsequent, has had his
card numbered. The cards for
each Local Board or county run
from number one up to the highest
nulnbe registered. In Sioux county
there are 800 cards in the possess
sion of the local board and the SER
ial numbers run from 1 to 800.
Thus any number drawn over 800
will not effect Sioux county. Each
county will be called upon to fur
nish certain quota of men. If
the holder of number drawn,
should be disqualified or exempted,
the next number will be called and
so on until the full quota required
has been selected.
After the drawing is over the
next step taken is to notify the men
drawn to appear before the Local
Board on certain date for physical
examination. If absent from the
jurisdiction Of the Local Board or
prevented by sickness to appear on
the day, set for examination, he
may appear on or before the tenth
day after the mailing of the notice
for physical examination.
Contrary to expectations farmers
and agricultural workers are not
exempt as class. The rules and
regulations for Local Boards gives
the following persons or classes of
persons to be exempted by the To-
cal board:
Officers of the United States and
of the several states; ministers of
religion; students Of divinity; SUBJ
jects of Germany; all other aliens
who have not taken out their first
papers; county and municipal Of
ticers; custom house clerks; per-
sons employed in the transmission
Of mails; workmen employed in the
arsenals, armories and navy yards;
those in status with respect to
persons dependent upon them for
support which renders their exclus-
ion or discharge desirable; any
married man whose wife or child is
dependent upon his labor for sup
any son of widow dependent upon
his labor for support; son of intirm
or aged parent or parents depen-
dent upon his lakor for support !;
brother Of child or children under
IL years of age, who has neither
father or mother and is depent up
on his labor for support; persons Of
religious sects existing before May
IL, 1917, whose creed forbids it's
members to Participate in war;
those found to be morally deficient.
The local boards are to decide
claims for exemption or discharge
within three days after filing atfida-
Wits. Appeal from the local board
to district boards are allowed.-
Disregard OF the draft Will mean
imprisonment and possibly death,
according to warning sounded by
the war department. 1t was stated
that failure to heed the directions in
the regulations and report for ser.
vice may be construed as capital
MISUNDERSTANDING in war time
the penalty is long imprisonment
or death.
