NORTH DAKOTA
CARDS READY
FOR The DRAFI
Fixing of Each County
Quota Next Step for
the State.

Bismarck, July 17.-Pembina coun-
tvs registration cards on their way to
the adjutant generals office will com
'plete the second step preliminary to
the drafting of North Dakota's section
of the select service army.
The county registration boards have
performed two important tasks-the
registration of all of the eligibles
within their jurisdiction and the prop
'er numbering Of the registration cards
and listing of each regfstrant.
The next step will be taken in the
adjutant generals Office when Charles
Lesissman, in charge of this detail.
undertakes the important task of fig
uring out each county's quota. Blanks
for this purpose have been mailed
from Washington last week, and
should reach the adjutant generals
office today. Upon their receipt, the
department will have exact informa-
ton as to the states quota, and then
will proceed to apportion this quota
among the SO counties. In doing this,
note must be made of all the credits
and known exemptions to which each
county is entitled.
: Bags and bags of mail matter are
accommodating at the adtutant generals
office more rapidly than it can be for.
warded to the various county boards
There are bulletins, pamphlets, re.
ports, forms and circulars galore
Some are designed for use here; 9TH
ers go direct to the registrants them
selves; a majority of the printed mat
ter is for the county and district ex'
emptiona boards.
This literature tells all that anyone
can ever hope to know about the ma
chinery used in making the selectiv'
draft.

1917 RAINFALL
HASBEEN HEAVY
Government Crop Estimator
Makes Report to Conn
mercial Club. = 4

That the rainfall for the first six
months of the year 1917, in the state
of North Dakota Is but q little less
than during 1916, is shown by the
report Of Andrew J.. Surratt, govern
ment crop estimator, who yesterday
afternoon, appeared before the board;
Of directors Of the Commercial club
n discussed the prospects for good
crops this year.
Mr.. surratt is enthusiastic over
conditions now and his estimates
proved q reliable source on which to
base his contentious. The rainfall
during the year 1918 was quite heavy,
and comparative figures for the
months included from January 1 to
July i, show that the precipitation
this summer is but very little less.
At Minot the rainfall last year was
17.54 inches, which is 8.8a more than
Inches during the first 8 months OF
1915. or 2.7l inches more than dur
ling the same period this year. Bot
tineau had 1915 in 1916, compared
with 11.87 this year, Devils Lake
1896 in 1915 or $50 more than this
season, Pembina had 1880 last year
or sos more than in 1917, Moorhead
had 26.27 last year or 8.5B more than
this summer, Bismarck, 1916, lilo
inches, 1917 SOB inches less, Lisbon,
1915. 27.75 inches, 1917 6.5S Inches
6.77 inches less.
The rainfall throughout the state
since July /. has been normal and
In some districts above the average.
The report made by Mr.. Surratt has
been filed at the Commercial club
where 1t may be inspected at any
time.

DRAFT HORSES
SUCH AS ARE SHOWN

North Dakota farmers are over
looking a very extensive and pros
porous business in draft-horse rails
ing, according to Wayne Dinsmore,
of Chicago, secretary of the Percher-
on Society Of America. Mr.. Dinsmore
is visiting the North Dakota state
fair, having come here from the big
expositions at Calgary n Edmon-
ton.
you have one Of the finest horse
shows, I've seen," declared Mr.. Dins-
more at the fair grounds this MORN
ing. THE exhibit Of Percherons is
especially good. Take, for instance,
the exhibit Of the Herd Farm Of
Monticello, Mimi; Hammer & Son, a
North Dakota concern, and Arthur
White, Of Kramer, N. D.. The show
is as large as the one at the Edmon-
ton fair, and that Is n of the great
est I have seen.
North Dakota farmers, however,
are overlooking a very important
trade. Last yea Canadian horse
buyers went right through this state
to Illinois and Iowa and purchased
$500, 0O0. worth of Percherons, North
Dakota got very little, if any of this,
because there were not enough horses
here to supply the demand. Western
| Canada is a very rich country at pres
| ent, They had big crops there the
last two years and the prospects this
year are for an even greater crop,
They must have heavy draft horses
and lots Of them. If North Dakota
breeders produce more Percherons OF
the type they are showing here, they
soon will have a very extensive an6
profitable trade with Canada"

PREMONITION SAVED
WOMAN FROM SHIP
WRECKED in STORM

Miss Thorbjor Svendsen, 514
North street, is glad today that she
changed her mind a few days ago
regarding a plan to go to Norway
aboard the steamer "Kristianiafjord,"
which ran aground neal New Found
land on the night between Sunday and
Monday.
Miss Svendsen had purchased her
ticket and had intended to leave for
her home in Saetersdalen, Norway,
last week. Being a sufferer from
rheumatism she consulted her ply
sician and was told the state of her
health was such hat she could I'M
dertake the trip without any danger
whatever. aga y
Nevertheless, Miss Svendsen decided
to postpone her trip and when seen
today gave as her reason that some
peculiar ~premonition had told her
that an accident would befall the
liner on this trip, so she decided tc
remain here for a few weeks more an6
had her tickets cancelled.
Miss Svendsen has been in this
country for a little more than two
years and now wants to go back tt
her native country to remain.
