Exemption Claims
Reveal Scores of
Couples Unmarried

Bismarck, Sept. 5.-Claims for ex-
emptions filed with the district board
are revealing the fact that many of
North Dakota's foreign-born citizens
who are living together as man and
wife and some of whom have raised
good-sized families, never have been
married. These people, it is evident,
believed the purchase of marriage
license sufficient to bind them in legal
wedlock. These marriages licenses
have been submitted to the district
board in support of claims, and in
many instances no return has been
made indicating that an actual MAR
riage ceremony was performed by
priest, parson or magistrate. The
board may undertake TO advise these
people of their status, in order that
they may legally wed, ,legitimatize
their children, and avoid complica
lions which might result in inheri,
tances and testamentary proceedings
A claimant for exemption who de-
clared he had wife dependent on
him and that he had married last
March, overlooked a bet when he
mailed to the district board his mar
riage license, which was dated in July
Colonel Frank White, commander
of the Second, can sympathize with a
registrant who filed claims fol

This gentleman stated that he will

Women's Clubs viii
Meet at Dickinson

Arrangements for the twenty-frst
ia Federation of Women's clubs, which
meets at Dickinson, Oct l to 5 in
elusive, are practically completed, and
in a few days the program will be pub
lished. The keynote Of the conven-
ton this year is Patriotic Service.
Speakers have been secured who swill
bring vital messages to the women Of
the state, and indications point to an
inspiring convention.
One of the glib features Of the pro-
gram will be the lecture by Miss Lutte
=. Stearns, of Milwaukee, Wis. Miss
Stearns is one of the most magnetic
speakers on the lecture platform to-
day. An eastern woman by birth, she
has spent the greater part of her life
in the middle west, where she has al
ways been prominent in educational
work. After her address at the Chica-
go Biennial on "The Woman on tho
Farm" at the solicitation of many club
women she entered the lecture field, to
which she now deyotes her entire
time. She has splendid grasp Of the
social, Industrial and economic ten
denotes of the day, and is distinct
acquisition to any program. When
Miss Stearns discourses on books and
libraries she talks on subject which
she knows. For eight years she was
superintendent Of the circulating de,
partment of the Milwaukee public Ii
brary, and for II years she was a men,
Der of the Wisconsin free library COM
mission. Her attack on obscene and
sensual books is described as "a hi,
from the shoulder" Miss Stearns, in
addition to her lecture, will addres )
the convention on "The Boy and Girl
Problem"
Dickinson will give the delegates
and visitors to the convention an op.
portunity to see the Bad Lands. The
present plan is to make the trip by
automobile, and serve a picnic lunch
at one Of the big ranches. An effort is
being made to secure Dean Babcock Of
the university for an informal talk or
the geological formation of the Bad
Lands. ri
