In the event of the Germans landing an army on the mainland at that point the Russian lines will probably be forced into retreat along a wide section, thus opening way to Ger man advance on Petrograd.
 The occupation of the islands by the Germans is looked upon here as one of the most threatening of recent developments in the Riga region.

Dickinson Gives Second
Company to State Guard

Dickinson, July Hutchinson will
add another quota to her manhood in
the machine gun company organized
this Sunday. At an enthusiastic mass
meeting held in the armory Sunday
afternoon fine lot of fellows re-
sponded to hurry-up call and were
soon enrolled for the new company
which will be part of Dickinson's
contribution to Uncle Sans arms.
Colonel Tharalson, Captain Stickley
and Battalion Adjutant Neumier came
up from Bismarck Saturday night and
early Sunday morning and with the
efforts already made by Weiland J.
Orchard and Captain Fleury, a splen-
did gathering was held.
The Rev. Father Dignam and the
three officers spoke, with the result
that II signed then. With the other
Is men whose names were handed in,
but who were not present, this will
make it easy to enlist the full gun
company as part of the second reg
iment that North Dakota will raise.
Company X is now full to it's regular
capacity, so that with this additional
company formed she will be the proud
possessors of as fine body of men as
any city in the state. Drill will begin
at once and when the orders come the
boys will be ready to receive their
marching orders.

VILLAGES OF GALICIA,
Whore Family, Cattle and Fowls All
Live In Two Rooms.

Whore Family, Cattle and Fowls All
Live In Two Rooms.
The villages Of Galicia are especial
ly interesting on Sundays and holi-
days, when the national costumes are
donned.
The cottages are generally made Of
stone or board plastered over and are
then covered with coat of whitewash.
The straw roof is frequently crowned
with green growing moss. which adds
to it's picturesque appearance If not to
its healthfulness. Water Is drawn
from the wells by long pole balanced
near the center. These wells have
decided old world appearance.
The interior Of the cottages is usual
ly divided into two rooms. In one
room the entire family lives, eats and
sleeps; In the other, in more or less
harmonious contentment, dwell the
COWS, pigs, chickens and geese. No
household would be complete without
number Of geese.
Around the cottages number of chill
dren are sure to be seen playing. A
dozen or twenty or thirty of such cot
tages, each separated only by small
yard, make up village. If there is a
manageable daughter in the house
the Intel of the door and the window
surroundings are ornamented with lit
tie irregular bands, which is a notice
to the manageable young men.-Chris-
tan Herald.

Army Aviation Service.

Significant, in view Of the popular
conception Of flying as extreme dare
deviltry, is the record Of the United
States army aviation service from
Jan. to Dec. 26, 1916. During that
period 1887 fights were made by mill
tary pilots. In all 1857 hours were
spent in the air. which means that
more than nine hours each day Of the
year some soldier airman was aloft.
The distance travelled amounted to ap-
proximately 251.775 miles. or slightly
more than ten times the circumfer-
ence Of the earth. There was no IA.
tally. Evidently these figures can
not be fairly compared with current
railroad and motorcar statistics. Con-
trasts are not needed, however, to &C.
cent their import. Sane flying is not
yet accident proof and possibly never
will be, but neither Is it extremely
foolhardy.-Searle Hendee in Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

The Loss and Trouble That Are Caused
by Sheer CareIessness.
More than two and a quarter million
dollars worth Of checks, drafts, money

tanned things Of value without clew to
their senders and were held for claim
ants, 7,019,436 had to be destroyed
and 41,775 still are being investigated
In addition to the valuable papers,
with face value Of $2,303,119, found
in undelivered letters, many contained
stamps. and some currency was found
loose in the mails.
The dead mail received by the dead
letter division during the year contain
ed 677,700 misdirected letters, 1876
unaddressed letters, 22S. 700 letters held
for postage, 10000 letters written on
hotel letter paper BY persons unknown
to the hotels and 1O4, 700 letters bear
ing fictitious signatures.

Allow Seven Days
for Exemption Claims

Exemptions are to be determined
by the local boards, as the circular
shows, only for the previously an
nounced specified causes, such as re-
sponsibility for. the support of rela-
tives, and not for agricultural or in
dustrial reasons. Seven days after
designations are posted will be allowed
for filing claims. Then there will be
an additional allowance of ten days
for filing proofs, and the board must
decide within three days after the
proof is filed.
When the case of any registrant has
been disposed of so far as the local
board is concerned, the names of those
not exempted or discharged will be
posted. Claims for exemption for agri-
cultural or industrial work must be
made within five days after such post
ing and must go direct to the higher
board sitting for the judicial district
Appeals from the rulings of the local
boards must be made to the higher
boards within ten days.

Cooperative Buying Is
Object Of Convention

st. Paul, July S.-Initial steps to-
ward the organization of a great ma
tional cooperative buying and selling
system, will be taken tomorrow when
committee appointed in December
by the National Society Of Equity
meets here with representatives OF
other bodies interested in the cooper
alive movement.
The sessions which will continue for
several days will be attended by rep
resentatives of the Federation of Pro-
ducers and Consumers, the Illinois
Cooperative Stores and a chain of CO.
operative lumber mills operating on
the Pacific coast.
While the National Society of Equi-
ty is leading the movement, the pro-
posed organization will include labor
ers, mechanics and other workers, as
we'll as farmers, it is explained The
trades unions Of the country will be
asked for their assistance.
The plan to be devised is expected
to follow closely along the lines of the
Rochdale society in England. 1t is
said this society does an annual busi-
ness Of $5,000,000,000. The experience
of Montana apple growers, who dis
posed Of almost their entire crop last
year through a. cooperative organiza-
ton, also will be utilized.
