Pierre The state land de-

Pierre The state land de-
partment has decided upon a
policy of one apportionment a
year of the income fund for the
common schools of the state in
stead of the former policy of
sem i-annual apportionments.
This has been decided upon since
the fund will draw it's share of
the interest ON daily balances
from the state treasury. A
circular letter was sent out to
the county auditors of the diff
fernt counties asking them their
views on one or two apportion-
ments annually, and out of fifty
four counties which have res
ponded fifty were in favor of the
one apportionment to four desir-
ing the old plan to continue. The
new plan cuts down the work for
the county officials, and allows
the fund to increase from the
interest on the fund while it
stands at state deposits.

Auto Races Were Good

The auto races ON the Sisseton
Speedway last Sunday drew the
largest crowd ever i'm Sisseton
There were five entries: Mccoy
of Sisseton entered two cars, MIR
Halls of Ortonville driving the
Peerless and Mccoy the Chal-
mers, the Gutenberg of Web
ster, a Buick from Fairmount,
N. d. and a Ford from Orton-
willie.
A two mile race was pulled
first for positions i'm the ten
mile race, Mccoy coming i'm
first, the Gutenberg second and
Halls third. the Buick fourth and
the Ford Fifth.
The ten mile race was a Won
der. After a few laps the
Ford andBuick were so far be-
hind that they pulled out leav-
ing the track to the other three
cars. Halls and the Gutenberg
had as fine a race as anyone
would want to witness and at
times it was almost impossible
to tell which one Was going to
win. The Chalmers engine got
warm so Mccoy could not make
his average speed but came in
on the home stretch but few
feet behind the winners. Halls
won the first place by about
thirty feet. There were no mis-
haps of any sort and every one
present was we'll pleased.

Eggen-cornelius Wedding

At the Lutheran church in
Clarkfeld, Minnesota, Sunday af
ternoon, June IL, 1917, occurred
the marriage of Miss Carolina S.
Cornelius and Carston Eggen.
The church was beautifully
decorated with smilax and lilies.
Peter Eggen and Conrad Corne-
Illus were the ushers. Miss Soils
played the wedding march. Miss
Jennie Eggen, sister of the
groom was bridesmaid and Miss
Eardall of Rosholt was maid of
honor. Oscar Cornelius, bro
ther of the bride gave her away
and Elmer Cornelius was best
man.
The bribe was exquisitely
gowned in white messaline with
a court train and pearl trim
mings. She wore a veil and car
ried orange blossoms and show
er boquet of lilies of the val
ley. The flower girl was little
Miss Gringer, who carried a
basket of sweet peas.
Following the ceremony at the
church, a reception was given
at the home of the brides par
ents to the relatives and a large
number of invited guests. Cow
ers We're laid for thirty.
The happy couple left Mon
day for Duluth from which point
they go by ship on a trip to
Michigan.
Both of the principals in this
important event are too well
known to the people of this COM
munity to require any introdu-
tion to our readers, nor will any
words of eulogy at this time
place them any higher in esteem
of the people who know them
than that in which they are al
ready held. The groom has
grown to manhood in this neigh
borhood and those who have
known him for that time have
seen. bright energetic boy
emerge from boyhood into the
dominent figure of a successful
man whom all are pleased to
honor. A prominent attorney
of Roberts county, he has been
recently elected cashier for the
Peoples State Rank which posi-
tion he now fills. During the

Drawing For New Army Will Be
Done BY Number.

Washington Regulations for
drafting the new national army
now awaiting President Wilson's
approval, contain provisions for
every step in the great UNDER
taking except the actual method
of the draft itself.
No official announcement has
been made and official contirma-
tion is being withheld but it has
been stated and generally is ac-
cepted here as true that the fed
eral government itself will do the
drafting probably here in Wash
lngton. so there will be no OPP
portunity for local favoritism,
political or otherwise.
AS the regulations now stand
every registered man bears a
number. The numbers will be
forwarded to Washington and
drawing will be entirely by num-
Der. The identity of the num-
bered men will be unknown to
those in charge of the draft ma
chinery and can be established
only by comparing a number
with a printed list i'm the mans
home town.
AS the numbers are drawn
they will be telegraphed to the
home districts, where the regis
tered men will learn if they have
been drafted.
Then the question of exemp-
tions will come up and this will
go before the local board. If a
man is exempted the man bear
ing the number which was drawn
next i'm order will take his ploce
and so ON.
In this way all those available
for service out of the ten mil
lion who registered will be made
ready for the country's call and
from them the first increment of
625, 900 will be assembled. The
Others will be called as the need
developes as the war goes on.
Plenty of time will be given for
drafted men to arrange their per
sonal affairs and report to the
cantonment camps. 1t is hop
cd to have them all in training
by September l or very soon
thereafter.
