The penalty far any of these

Moreover your neighbor is
authorized to report you, if he
knows you have OF registered
or have falsifed in your regis
tration. This fact is going to be
most elective feature of con-
scription. Every man who is
liable to service and has register
ed is going to make it his bust

knows who is liable does the
same thing. He is not going to
let any slackers of his acquaint-

his Office get by.
THE man who is not
liable on the first call, or who is
exempt under the first call,
knows very well that if the war
continues and the first call does

So it is to his advantage to see

Keeping these things in

Don't Fool With CONSUMPTION
Law

Some people have an idea thai
they can evade the CONSUMPTION
law, but it might be well not tt
attempt such thing. The New
Orleans Item has the following
to say editorially on this ques-
ton that will be of interest:
Zone may hear these days q
great deal of public conversation
on street car platforms, street
corners, at the bar rail and other
places where men think out loud
and swap opinions as to how the
CONSUMPTION law may be lodged
and will be lodged when it goes
into effect.
Most of this talk is due to
ignorance. All of it is foolish,
and if those who indulge in it
attempt to carry their little
schemes into execution they will
find themselves in seri lou S
trouble. The burdens of citizen
ship rest very lightly on too
many shoulders. Taxes are
lodged. Citizens won't register
and wont vote. Jury service is
evaded by all classes of citizens
who frame all sorts of fiimsy ex-
cuses as to why they cannot sit
on a jury. Perhaps this great
American habit is responsible
for the talk about evading the
conscription.
Such persons should revise
their views at once. Uncle Sam
is back of the CONSUMPTION law,
and its enforcement. 1t is going
to be as dangerous to try to es-
cape this law as it is to try to
operate a 'moonshine' outfit or
make counterfit money or run a
lottery through the United States
mails.
Any person who fails to reg
lister under the provisions of the
CONSUMPTION act is subject to fine
and Imprisonment in the Federal
penitentiary, or both. If any
person who is of the age specifi-
ed in the law as subjecting him
tc liability for military service
does not register voluntarily, or
falsifies as to his age or his &C.
cupation, or as to his being mar
ried or having people dependent
upon him, he will be arrested, if
it be found he has done any of
these things, fined (may be i'm
prisoned) and then enrolled by |
the officers.
Who will find these things
out? The act gives the presi-
dent the power to utilize the
services of all the Federal de-
partments, their agents, officers
and employees. as well as the
services of each state in order to
enforce the law. This means

Here Are a Few Facts

The South contributes annually ten billion dol
lars to the country's wealth. Less than half of
this is represented by agricultural products. Last
year nearly billion and quarter of merchandise
was exported, and in 1914 the products of South
ern factories was more than three and half bill
lion dollars Its mines, its forests and it's waters
are likewise productive. Of 81 useful minerals
mined in the U. S. all except two are mined in the
South and nine are produced nowhere else in this
country. Right under Okolona are billions of tons
of cement material and who knows but little
deeper may be found both oil and gas. All the
gas should not be on the surface.

course of events, the thing that will
have the most serious bearing on the
possibility of nominating Mr.. Roose-
welt is the fact that he has in turn
deeply wounded both elements in the
Republican party. OF course. Cover
nor Johnson Of California, by reason
of the part California took in the re-
cent election, and by reason OF his
own political career, would necessari-
ly be included in any discussion Of
presidential possibilities. Thoughtful
persons, however, do not believe that
he relieves the present poverty Of
leadership in the Republican party.
He will be a member at the next ses-
sion of the senate. In that position he
will have an opportunity to make a
record and will be under the intimate
inspection Of ali the party leaders OF
the country. Six months or q year
after he has arrived in the senate it
will. be possible to tell whether or not
he is Of presidential size. In the DEM
oGratic party the poverty Of leadership
is no less conspicuous. Whenever a
Democrat is asked who stands second
to Wilson in the leadership of that
party now, and who in the future is
likely to succeed Wilson in leadership,
it is only possible to look baffled and
give it up. Undoubtedly, as matters
stand, Bryan is the second man in

SHOW
AT MAGIC CITY

Minot n. D., Feb. 3.--From March
to 10, inclusive, the Northwestern
North Dakota Poultry association will
meet in Minot. Entries for the
meeting will close March 6. At first,
it was the intention of the managers
to hold the meeting in the armory,
but it has since been decided to hold
the show in some room in the business
section provided, a suitable location
can be secured.
The coming show will be the first
of it's kind to be held in Minot and it
is hoped there will be concerted ac-
ton and interest by all those having
poultry or interest in the raising of
fowls. 1t has been demonstrated that
poultry is one of the profitable side
lines of farming, especially in this sec
ton and at poultry exhibits one gains
much profitable information regarding
the proper care and handling of fowls.
Again, some of the more profitable
breeds are shown which can be sue
cessfully raised in this section.
1t is believed the coming poultry
show will be profitable for those who
may be interested in the poultry bust
ness while others will gain much
pleasure from attending and learning
something of the strides that have
been made in the small industry in
this section.
