SPEAKS TONIGHT
v. W. c. A. WORKER SETS FORTH
AIMS OF ORDER-GREAT
GOOD ACHIEVED.

A field secretary for the Young
Women's Christian association arriv-
ed this afternoon and spoke at 3
o'clock to the Y. w. c.. A. recently
organized among the girls of the
Normal school. Tonight at s o'clock
she addresses the public at the high
school auditorium. Her subject on
both occasions will be the work of
this organization with relation to the
present war.
Those acquainted with the organic
alton in the larger cities know of the
inestimable work they do among the
women. Strangers within the city
bewildered by the streets and uncer-
tain of where to go receive care,
Workers of a transient nature, know
ing of this organization unhesitating-
ly take advantage of it's hospitality
and protection. And their work
among the factory girls is active and
extensive.
Now they are helping the Y. M. c.
A. in the war. There are about loo
military camps in the country, and
they have already established "a
hostess houses" in connection with
the mems organization at those
camps. These houses are for the en-
tertainment of female relatives visit
ing the men at the camp, and to as
sist other women on the square to
meet men on the square," as their
literature sets forth.

ADVISE REG|STRANTS
NEW BOARD APPOINTED FOR
HELP OF MEN-ORGANIZE
ToNfGHT.

By order of President Wilson,
through the governors and adjutant
generals offices, A. w. Sponholz, c..
j. Porter and Hans Urdahl have to-
day received appointments as legal
advisory board to act for and on the
part of registrants for the selective
draft. An injunction accompanies
the appointment that the members
meet as soon as convenient and COM
'plete their organization. They are to
be in session during all times the reg
istration board is in session, either
with the said board or at some other
convenient place. Their duties are
to assist registrants in filling out
properly their missionaries and adj
wise them of their rights and privi-
leges, and interpret the meaning and
intent of the laws and rules.
The newly appointed board will
meet some time during today and
complete their organization, Mr..
Sponholz said this morning. From
the instructions it appears that a pro-
bate Judge is normally nominated by
the governor as president of the
board, and the meeting will either
confirm such nomination or elect an
other. Just what other officers and
duties they will have within the
board they do not yet know.
This board is a new creation.
They act without pay, unless clerical
help is required. They act wholly
in the interest of the re~gistrants, and
lend assistance in any way required.
This board in Madison will probably
not be in session in n place as a
complete board, but will act sepa-
rately in their respective offices,
Any registrant may visit them for as
sistance in filling out his question
naire.
George r.. Farmer holds an office
of appeal agent for the local and ap-
peal boards of registration. 1t is his
duty to act for the boards, on the
part of the government, in the mat.
ter of appeals from this board, and
present the facts. His work is in nc
way connected with the newly ap'
pointed advisory board.

The government is under no obli-
CATION to send anyone to help you
make this return. Neither is the
government under any obligation to
call upon you personally and advise
you about this law. The govern
ment, however, realizes that a great
many thousands of people, especially
farmers, who will be subject to this
law, may not be advised at this time
that there is any such law. For that
reason everything possible is being
done to help the taxpayer comply
with the law in order that it may be
put into effect with the least possible
inconvenience to the people.
The penalty for failure to make
this return as requifed by law is a
fine ranging from $40 to S 1000 or
a Jail sentence, or both. The income
tax officer will be provided with a
supply of blanks upon which to make
returns.

POLITICAL SlDElIGHTS

The Aberdeen Daily News had a re-
cent dispatch from Pierre that will
give an idea of how some things look
along the congressional campaign. 1t
is interesting, if true:
While the people are slow to take
up politics, the congressional recess,
has put the members of congress into
the field, with a desire to Just visit
around and express a view that the
people don't want politics before the
first of the coming year. The situa-
ton now looks as if a multiplicity of
Sioux Falls candidates for congress
will make the situation easy for Dill
Ion of Yankton, to be renominated.
but the Sioux Falls candidates may
~centralize before the primaries and
give the Yankton man a run. In the
second it appears that Carl Sherwood
is not especially anxious to make the
race, and hat he has resigned to hold
the law practice Of his son until after
the war for which the young man has
enlisted. The campaign of Donald Nc
Lean for the congressional nominal
ton is grinding along, but evidently
has not started any great movement
in his direction as yet. Congressman
Johnson who wants the denomination,
is looking over the district, as is Dill
Ion In the first, just to meet his
friends. In the third. just who the re-
publican candidate will be is a Ques-
ton, with Tscharner of Lennon and
Waggoner of Philip both being men
toned but whoever the candidate is,
he will have plenty of work on his
hands if he can defeat Candy, the
present democrat from that district,
under existing conditions. Candy has
shown his ability as a campaigner
twice, and is strong in the district at
this time.
1.-The senatorial fight looks like a
straight out between Senator Sterling,
and former Governor Byrne, and the
man who can tell the outcome at the
present Is one with the foresight of a
seventh son of a seventh son. From
all which can be gathered it looks
now like a fifty-ffty proposition on
that place"

expeditionary forces in Europe and to

the public it will be impossible to ac-
complish this result.

3 chosen by The postmaster. This ply
/. sician's statement, which will accom-
pany the postmaster's- request foi
transportation, should say that the
physician has examined the man and
in his opinion, has found him physic.
ally qualified for enlistment.
II wish to appeal to physicians to
give their patriotic service in this
work and help the postmaster as
much as they can in putting these
young men into the best service in the
world" the recruiting officer said yes
to-day.
1T is the young man of good char
acter who possibly cannot afford a
SIS or 800 railroad ticket to Omaha,
to whom this arrangement will be a
great benefit. If a young man is Of
good character and has a common
school education, he can enter the
navy and receive an education unpar-
alleled by any college il the land.
Experts have estimated that the
schooling that a young man gets in the
navy is equal to hat which costs $50
600 in a civilian college.
"All a young man needs to do is 20
see his postmaster and ask him what
physician he should visit to obtain a
physical examination. AS soon as
his young man receives his written
statement from the physician he
should take the statement to the post
master. and request the postmaster to
mail it to the navy recruiting officer
in Omaha, with a request for trans
portation. Frequently a group of
young men car be furnished with
transportation through one request.
Il have yet to find a single physician
in Nebraska or South Dakota who re-
fuses to take a few minutes of his
time for this loyal work for the col
ors,' said the officer. "They are only
too glad to help. | want to take this
occasion to appeal to the loyalty Of
these physicians and to thank them
for their unfailing service in this hour
Of need. | know of no other way of
reaching them quick enough to be of
benefit to hundreds of young men who
want to get the schooling of the navy.
but who have not the money to pay
their fare to Omaha.
If the recruit fails to pass at the
lnal examination, transportation will
be furnished for his return home. IF
he passes, he will be sent % training
at once"
