Arkansas Must Give 7,7OO Men
 For Army Under Draft Statute
Little Rock Will Be Called Upon For 2O3 Men Under Basis For Calling
 Out First 5OO,OOO Soldiers

Arkansas, in addition to her National Guard troops and her contributions to the regular army, navy and marine corps, will he called upon to furnish as her quota of the first 500, 900 men called out under the selective draft measure, approximately 7,700 men.
 The state will have a total of more than 11,00O men in the fighting units of the nation after the call for the first 500. 1000 men is issued by President Wilson
 Using the population as a whole of the nation and of the state as a basis, Arkansas must give ', 756 men to the first draft Of these, Little Rock must furnish 2O3. Present members or recruits ob- tained before the call is made of the national guard, regular army, navy and marine corps, army officers say, will not be in- cluded as part of the 500, 900.
 MUST FURNISH PROPORTIONS
 The total population probably will not be the basis used in cal culating the quotas from each state, altho as a basis of probable apportionment, officers say, it is adequate. Under the proposed system the cities and counties must furnish their proportionate number of men. How they will be selected has not been deter mined.
 Immediately upon issuance of a proclamation by President Will son for registration of men of eligible age, county boards of control will begin their work. The county boards will be composed of the sheriff, coun- ty or circuit clerk and county health officers. In cities of 30, coo or more population, seperate boards consisting of the mayor, city clerk and city health officer, Will have charge. The officials, under the selective draft bill Which without doubt will be- come a law within the next ten days, must serve.
 Township registration boards Will be selected by the county boards.

asking that our boys be not sent to
Europe. Evidently they don't want
the Belgians, French, Serbians or
others to enjoy the same blessings, or
else they don't want our boys to help
whip a government that has shocked
the world by its brutality. Geo.
Lynn was the party who made the Pc
titions out. He is natural born cit
izen and has absolutely no excuse for
not standing behind the government,
especially in view of the fact that
for years he has held office in this
county, and thus been fed by that
same government and its citizen tax
payers. But now they can appear
before the U. S. Commissioner for
hearing to be held Sept. 9th to
show why they did it and if they
were protecting their country in do
ing so, for that is one thing the cit
liens of the United States are en-
pected to do.

Gets Stacker in Napoleon

A deputy U. S. marshall came to
Napoleon on Tuesday and the same
evening took Jake Gardener, of that
city, who failed to register for the
draft, to Fargo, where he will be given
a hearing in the federal court on the
charge of lodging registration. The
charge is very serious one and
should the young man be found guilty
of the crime, he may be interned dur
ing tn period of the war. At hea-
ing held recently in that city, Gardener
claimed he was under age, although
Witnesses testified that he had taken
oath over year ago that he had pass
ed 81. SO he could negotiate mort
gage loan. Either charge would be a
serious one and the young man stands
between the devil and the deep blue
sea.

Conduct of kuntz at Time
of Arrest

1t is rumored when the marshall
and sheriff went out to get Kuntz he
wasn't quite ready to go, but when
he was shown clearly that they meant
business, he decided that the better
move to make was to accompany
them and the rest of his loyal sup
portcrs. Of course, our lawyer friend,
Lynn, knew what was required of him
and went without demure.
The following is list of our citi-
zens from Linton who accompanied
the defendants to Driscoll, N. D.,
Friday afternoon, and gave bond to
the sum of $1,000 fixed by E. C.

Warning

These arrests are no surprise to the
people of this community for everyone
has expected it and thought it ought
to be done. 1t is very poor policy
to try to knock the government for it
takes particular pains to have listen
ers and watchers in every city, town
and village who will gladly give it
any information it may ask for in this
line.
The sooner the people of this coun-
try appreciate this the better off they
will be. The government of this
country is powerful enough that when
it wants a man for service it will take
all necessary steps to get him and it
will also be able to tell you if you
are physical fit or of the required
age. The man or men who stand on
the corner every day trying to knock
the government in every way sooner
or later will get caught and this GER
tainly applies to the men above men
toned.
When H. CARRIER, of the depart
ment Of justice, was down here over
week ago, he took back with him
he necessary information to make

TWO LETTERS FROM. SOLDIERS IN CAMP
Great Lakes, ILL.,,
Sept. 8, 1917.

Sept. 8, 1917.
Mrs. F. B. Sreeter,
Linton, N. D.,
Dear Madam:
Everything is going fine here now.
We were moved from Co. j, Sd Reg.
to Co. X LIST Reg. last week, and here
they are just twice as strict as in the
other regiment. The Sd Reg. was the
detention part of the Paul Jones camp,
so now we are not under such strin-
cent guard tor disease, etc.
We are allowed to go where we
please now during leisure hours, which
| find to be the fewest ever had.
Visitors come into this part of the
camp every day, and on Wednesdays
Visitors day. especially, there are
hundreds of them. Many of the boys
meet friends and relatives every day.
Yesterday and today our company
was given shore leave, but most of the
boys were broke SO we couldn't use it.
No one knows when pay day comes.
We get plenty to eat most of the
time if you're any where near the
middle or front of the line of $50 men,
but sometimes they run short and
then those on the end have to go with
out it. There is,some rush at mess
time. When the bugle blows at $50,
1880 and 80 everyone makes bee
line to the galley, and scullery, that's
what the cook-house and dish-house
are called. First come, first fed. Each
one takes plate, cup and knife and
fork and passes to the galley where
they spoon it out to you. Sometimes
we get fruit and then there sure is
some rush for grub.
Fifty men are detailed from each
company each week for work. l was
in that squad this last week. Had to
haul brick, lumber, slaves, dig bitches,
etc. That's the kind of work that
makes a job of cleaning white clothes.
Chewing tobacco or gum, and selling
or trading anything is absolutely pro-
hibited.
Talking or laughing in ranks is pun
ishable by extra duty, doing all the
dirty work. Taking any overtime at
all on shore leaves, promotes you to
the brig, hard work, with bread and
water only, no liberty for indefinite
time. Our first commander and one
Of our company got it.
We saw motion pictures last night.
witnessed a sham battle Wednesday.
That was great, giving all parts of the
service chance. But the little guns
make an awful compression in the
air.
Have nothing else to say, so must
close.
Don't be afraid to write because the
mail time is the best time in camp ex-
cept grub time.
Sincerely,
HERMAN BERTHEAU,

Notes From County
Superintendent

Red Cross War Council, announces the
launching of Junior Red Cross open
10 all scnool children in the country.
The new organization hops to become
a CHANNEL for patriotic service and
interest to the 22,OO0,000 boys and
girls of school age in the United
| States.
Membership in the Junior Red Cross
is to be by schools. Whenever there
has been placed in the local school
fund an amount equal to rs cts. for
every pupil, the school becomes
school auxiliary CT the Red Cross,
! and is entitled to display special Red
Cross Banner. At the same time every
pupil becomes a Junior Member, and
is entitled to wear the membership
button.
The school fund can be raised by the
school, or collected by subscription,
and the schools are to be associated
with the local chapters of the Red
Cross through a teachers committee
Of the chapter.
The school fund viii :ae used for the
puchase of materials which the child
rem will make up into Red Cross sup
plies, and for other uses in which the
children will have personal share.
, No part Of it is. to go for chapter or
general expenses.
Membership in the Junior Red Cross
will be developed by states. Division
managers will appoint membership
committees and school activities COM
mittee5 for each state. The member
ship committee stimulates interest and
raises funds for the School Supply
Fund. 1t will be composed of some of
the most influential people devoted
to educational afsars.
] The school activities committee will
be made up of vocational teachers and
other school officials. Under its
direction patterns of articles to be
made, and other instructions for use in
the vocational classrooms, will be pre-
pared and sent to all schools.
This plan has been developed by
President McCraken of Vassar, who
believes it will be of educational and
patriotic value for the children.
"The work of the Red Cross will
teach service for others and unselfsh
giving: it will stimulate interest in our
national government and its policies
during the war; and it will afford
useful release for the youthful energy
which is stimulated by the violent and
morbid aspects of war conditions, and
if undirected, may cause under wrong
conditions great increase of juvenile
delinquency and crime"
Consolidation failed to carry ut the
election in Dana district, Sept. 7th.
Six elections have been held this
year and all failed to favor consolida-
ton. Owing to the fact that twenty.
one new one-room schools will be
built this fall, it is evident that con-
solidation of schools in our county is
some distance in the future.
Anton Schneider, of Strasburg, re.
ceived certificate for three months
