NAL traffic. The program for, trans
porting the men was mapped out
weeks ago. Officials figure that with
in the next few days approximately
$4,000 men will be transported to the
sixteen fs cantonments scattered
throughout the nation. When the
next quota starts for camp Sept. 10,
however the railroads expect to
transport about $4,000 men day for
five days. .
Sites for the environments were
selected with regard to water sup
ply, sanitation and transportation
necessities. There is general
similarity to all cantonments. Each
camp covers approximately 5000
acres and has training grounds to
permit maneuvers of all military
units. -
The barracks in each of which $50
men will be quartered. are two STORY
structures. The second floor will be
Tuged ;fors sleeping and the first for
mess and assembly halls: All Of the
cantonments, with the exception OF
Camp Taylor OF Louisville will be
steam heated and equipped with iron
beds, shower baths and lockers.
Already most of the camps have
the appearance of modern cities. The
number of buildings in the canton
ments range from $50 TO 300. The
structures include general headquar-
ters brigade headquarters officers
quarters, barracks for soldiers, hos
pital and animal and artillery
sheds. In addition there will be huge
rife and artillery ranges. Long
marches and difficult drills will not
be started until the men become
hardened to their duties.

THOMPSON
HOOTED BY MOB
big Bill" Is Also Hanged
In Effigy By War
Veterans.
(By Associated PRESS. ]


Chicago, Sept. 5.-Mayer Thomp-
son was the center of a menacing
demonstration by soldiers here this
morning as hts party was mobilizing
in fifty automobiles for a trip to the
fair at Kankakee. Ill. Banners ofsa
political nature were torn from his
and other machines.
The automobiles were standing in
Michigan boulevard which bounds
Grant park on the west, when the
soldiers began to gather.
"Slackers'', they cried and used
other epithets. There was an AM
erican flag on the car. Take that
down, what are you doing with
that? they cried.
A crowd collected in almost no
time and the demonstration was ex-
tended all along the line of automo-
bfles. Those in the cars numbering
perhaps a hundred wearing the So
called Big Bill" cowboy hat, pulled
their hats over their eyes and sank
into their seats.
It was all over in few minutes,
the provost guard acting in an in
slant. The traffic jam was straight
cred out and the procession moved
down the street amid boots and
cries.
Activities Of those opposed to the
mayors i attitude toward war and
peace, took the form last night OF
the hanging in effigy of the mayor.
Members Of the General Lloyd
Wheaton Post No. "a, veterans OF
the foreign wars OF the United
States were in charge Of this cere-
mony which took place on a down.
town boulevard and was witnessed
by crowd which for a time blocked
all traffic. Singing, wen hang Bill
Thompson to a sour apple tree, the
demonstrators hung the dummy to
the top bar OF a safety island" on
the boulevard.
"A placard tied TO Il read, six,
semper, big, bilious. A policeman
cut down the danny.
The demonstration was avoided by
the mayor himself.
The latter who was by implication
censured by vote OF the city coun-
ell by his anti-war. attitude, had
warning that his welcome along the
route of 66 miles might be en-
barrassing and he was not in line
when the procession started. Sol
diers however, mistook one OF his
supporters for him and stripped the
banner giving the name OF the club
from a machine in which they
thought he was riding. Civilians

BIRD OUTLOOK
NOT PROMISING
Commissioner Hockridge,
of Hunter, Says Prairie
Chickens Are Scarce

T. c. Hockridge, chairman of the
Cass county board of commits
sioners, who lives at Hunter, is of
the opinion that prairie chicken
shooting will not equal that of previ-
Gus years in Cass county this year.
ut has been customary in past
years to see coveys Of chickens
frightened from their feeding places
by threshing outfits, but this year l
have seen very few BIRDS" said the
commissioner. ..-A
He made the assertion that he
never saw the ground in such a dry
condition in Cass county. The wealth
err is favorable to threshing, but poor
for fall blowing.
Reports reaching Fargo from Min
nesota and North Dakota points in
dictate that about 80 per cent of the
potato crop was damaged by the last
frost. This will retard the growth
of the potatoes, many of which are
very small. ...
Some hold hope that the showers
following the frost might cause
some of the vines not nipped by the
frost to continue their season OF life
with a chance for the tubers' to
reach a larger size.

Washington, Dec 17.-President
spreckles Of the Federal Sugar Refin-
ing Co. told the Senate investigators
today that if this years western beet
sugar crop had been allowed to come
cast there would have been an "abun-
dance of sugar" AS the refined price
for beet he said had been set by the
food administration at 1.25 at all ports,

to escape freight charges to eastern
ports.
