WHERE CAVALIER co. STANDS

1t would appear that Cavalier coun-
tvs standing Of 26 men passed and
not claiming exemptions out of a to.
tai of 244 drafted men called up to
tax the medical examination for
military service in behalf of the Uni
ted States in the worlds war, makes
an even better showing than any of
Jul adjoining counties owe the north.
eastern part of the state. In the past
week the counties of Pembina, Walsh
and Ramsey have completed the task
of giving their quota of drafted men
the physical examination. In zone of
these three counties did the per cent
age of men who passed and failed to
claim exemption stand up with the
showing here. There are evidences
in each of these counties that addi.
tional names will have to be drawn
from the draft list to fill the quota,
although it is not to be expected that
all of the claims for exemption will
be allowed by the state district board.
1t is to be borne in mind that in ad-
aition to the call upon men of a mill
Iary age under the draft Cavalier
county has already by voluntary en-
listment furnished upwards of forty
recruits for service in the army and
navy of the United States while the

Coins to Bed In India.

Going to bed in India is a very differ
ent process from going to bed at home.
To begin with, it is a far less formal
process. There is in the hot season no
shutting Of the door, no cutting your
self. off from the outer world, no going
upstairs and finally no getting into
bed. You merely lie down on your
bed, which, with it's bedding, is so sim
pie as to be worth describing. The bed
is a wooden frame with a webbing
laced across it, and each bed has a
thin cotton mattress. Over this one
sheet is spread, and two pillows go
to each bed, holsters not being used.
That's all. Some people do not even
have the mattress, preferring the cool
ness of a piece Of fine mating.
