Former lintonite Joins
Army As Baker

j. B. Crowell has filed his applica-
tion to take charge of bakers unit
in the war service. He received the
papers and filled them out some time
ago, in response to appeal from the
department for efficient help which
should not cripple any established
business. Owing to his eyes being
defective for long sight he feared it
would be no us to file. Since then
he has made up his mind he can steer
a bakery with very little eye-sight

bread can. attest.
Mr.. Crowell served in the Spanish
war, but was unable to get outside
the U. S., and later served in the
west and Yellowstone Park, in the
cavalry. His eyes became affected
some time after he left the service,
from cataract. Steele Ozone.
Mr.. Crowell is well known in Linton
having run the Arlington Hotel, now
known as the Sautter home. All his
Linton friends wish him good success

The American Red Cross, through A.
R. Rogers, manager of the Northern
Division, is appealing to every man,
woman and child to affiliate with the
organization and assist in distributing
comfort and cheer to our troops, and
the loved ones they left at nome. The
appeal this week is:
THIS IS YOUR RED CROSS;
YOU SHOULD BACK 1T UP.
The American Red Cross-your
Red Cross, by the way-is the fastest
growing organization in the world.
Today it has quarter of million
members in the Northwest, where 1t
had only few thousands five months
ago. But it needs q million, and
has room for every patriotic Ameri-
can.
The Red Cross needs YOU, and you
need it. You aren't 100 per cent
American until you have joined.
Right now-today-is the time
for you to affiliate with the nearest
chapter. If there isn't chapter
handy, start one.
srz7' s5Ntss -
Il is just rs important in winning
this war that you, and every Ameri-
can, join your Red Cross, rs it is for
you to buy Liberty Bonds, be eco-
nomical in your expenditures, and
give full loyalty to the government.
Remember, the American Red
Cross needs you; but YOU need it
far more.

BOYS FARE " ELL
EIGHTEEN MORE NAMES
CERTIFIED TO THE STATE BOARD

effect that the remaining SIS per cent
may all go at this time, but this is not
definite.
Owing to so many claims being al
lowed, both by the county and state
board, it was necessary for the local
board to certify 18 more names to the
state board to fill out the required
number of the third contingent, and
these names were sent to Bismarck
last Saturday, September 22d. 1t is
quite likely there will be some more
exemptions among these names for
there is one of the number already
in the government service, this being
Francis B. Streeter.
With the sending of this last list
to Bismarck it completes the list of
men examined by the local board for
the first draft. If the state board
should exempt very many of these
men it will be necessary for the local
exemption board to notify more to ap-
pear for physical examination although
they called four times the required
quota in the beginning.
There are still several names in Bis
marck of the first list certified to
the state board that we know nothing
of. This does not seem just to those
boys as they cannot plan any future
not knowing whether they have been
exempt or not.
The following is the list of names
certified to the state board September

One Of the largest crowds ever
seen at the depot in Linton appeared
Saturday noon, Sept. 22d, to bid fare
well to the boys of the second contin-
gent who left for the training camp
at Des Moines, Iowa, in charge of
Otto Becker, one Of the drafted men.
The Linton Band Boys were pres
ent and rendered several patriotic
selections and Carl Vorlander lead the
crowd in singing the patriotic air,
'Long Live Our U. S. A."
1t was very sad affair, for the
parenN of these boys hate to see their
sons taken away from home but,
nevertheless, they should feel proud
to have one or more than one son
who can join the national army to
help defend democracy.
These men, 80 in number, will all
be in training at Camp Dodge. They
may not all be in the same company,
nevertheless, they may see each other
at intervals and, like many who have
gone before them, we feel sure they
will never regret the move Uncle
Sam has taken in selecting them to es-
sist in upholding the government
which has given them free land to
live in. 30
AT the suggestion of H. A. Arm
strong collection was taken up for
the boys to do with as they saw fit,
and all responded literally which re-
suited in the boys leaving with a
purse Of $3.50. .39.
Reports from Strasburg and
Hague are. to the effect that large
crowds greeted the train at both
places.
Owing to the fact that the barracks
at Camp Dodge are not all complete
it is quite probable that the boys Of
the third contingent will not leave
Linton on October Sd as formerly CIV
en- out, but will leave little later in
the month. Some rumors are to the

Eager for Fray.

With the British Armies in France,
Sept. 25-A certain American army
contingent is now located directly be-
hind the British lines, within range OF
enemy gunfire, and two OF its mem.
bers have been slightly wounded by
fragments OF an explosive shell.
Neither OF the two American SOL
diers was badly enough hurt to earn
gold medals. They were the heroes
Of the camp. however. and the most
envled OF all the Sammies.
The Sammies work with the boom
Of cannon always in their ears. They
are pals Of the Tommies and listen
enviously Of stories Of going over
the top"
Eager for Fight.
So eager are the Sammies to fight
that the strictest regulations, impos-
ing severe punishment, have been nec-
essary to prevent them sneaking on
to the front under chaperonage OF
Tommies.
American officers admire the Brit.
ish achievements. especially after .
glimpse Of the difficulties OF their war
making. The Americans admit they
have much to learn and many flu
sions to be shattered. They say no
amount OF pictures or lectures or
theoretical practise can prepare the
mind for the actual fighting. Officers
must see the real thing to understand
the task.

I1[iifr

Every individual who has red blood
in his veins envies the naan in khaki,
the symbol of definite engagement in
the eountry's service; but the outcome
Of the war depends as much upon the
man at home as upon the man in the
trenches, and there should be reso-
luton from the heart Of every man
at home that he shall do his level best
to shorten the fight and bring the Ma
ton to an early victory.
If we carry about with US this res
olution and it becomes vital thing in
our. lives, we shaisr surprise ourselves
in our abilities to do more and better
work. We shall go about our work
feeling that every moment of idleness,
every waste of effort, every failure to
respond to- the calls Of our better
selves, will tend to prolong the war
and make victory harder Of accomp-
lishment.
Keep the ideal, then, Of patriotism
ever before you in whatever place
you may be filling, making sure all the
time that what you are doing is
worth while, fits into the scheme
which takes precedence today over all
else, and that you will do al in your
power in all your working hours un-

SOLDIERS LIBRARIES.

Washington, D. C.-All the famous
heroes of days gone by, as we'll as
Sherlock Holmes and DR.. Watson are
going to fight for the cause of Democ-
racy. They have volunteered to fol-
low our soldiers and sailors to the
training camps and across the sea to
the trenches. They areagoing in the
pages Of thousands of volumes to be
purchased and distributed by the Lii
brary War Council, recently appointed
by Secretary of War Newton D. Ba-
ker.
This council was created to cooper
ate with the War Service committee
of the American Library Association
in their campaign to raise $1,O0O,0O0
with which to establish libraries in
all of the training camps and can.
tonments. The money which is be-
ing raised by popular subscription has
been pouring in. Harold Braddocl:
of Mountclair, N. j., director of the
Library War Council, has received
word from most of the states that
the Governors have appointed local
war councils to cooperate with the
National War Council. In each city
Of the United States the public IL
brarian has been constituted the COL
lector of the fund, and in many cases
the amount set for a particular city
Ehastalready been oversubscribed.
Some idea of the extent of the work
undertaken may be had from the
fact that there will be thirty-two IL
brary buildings erected at the va:;-
ous training camps and cantonments
and that $4,000 fresh, carefully Sc
lected volumes must be purchased Mt
once. The publishers hav, all
agreed to sell their books at cpst and
the prominent authof, OF America
have agreed to forego all royalties.
There is a great vn rance OF opinion
as to what kind Of books tire soldiers
v i'll enjoy most. Colos.:l J.. I. Rich
q. dson, Senior Instructor AZ the IT.
ficers' Training Camp at Fort Benja-
min Harrison, indianapolis, who has
made special study of the needs Of
the soldiers in training, declares that
in spite of new inventions and modern
tactics, Caesars Commentaries would
still prove a useful textbook for the
soldiers Of today.
One dollar will purchase q new book
and keep it in circulation for three
wears. In the meantime, It will be
read by thousands Of soldiers. The
Library War Council is receiving con-
tributions Of one dollar and upward.

Insurance For
The Soldiers

One Of the uses to which it is pro-
posd to devote part of the proceeds Of
Liberty Loan Bonds is to afford to our
soldiers and sailors life and indemnity
insurance and to provide for allow
ances to their families while they are
in the ranks. On this point Secre-
ftary McAdoo, of the treasury, whose
plan of insurance for our fighting
men was endorsed by President Will
son and is now embodied in law
pending before congress, says:
Every soldier and sailor who
serves his country in this war will
earn everything the proposed wa,
insurance bill provides; to be ben
eficiary of the proposed law will be
a badge of honor.
5"When we draft wage Garner
we call not only him but the entire
family to the flag; the sacrifice en-
tailed is not divisible. The wife
and children, the mother, the father
are all involved in the sacrifice
they directly bear the burden Of de-
tense. They suffer just as much as
the soldier, but in a different way
and the nation must generously dis.
charge as a proud privilege the duty
Of maintaining them until the SOL
diers and sailors return from the war
and resume the responsibility.
1--WE have drawn the sword to vim
dicate Americas violated rights, to
restore peace and juatice. and to &C.
cure the progress of civilization. We
cannot permit our soldirs, while they
hold the front, to be stabbed in the
hack by uncertainty as to what is
being done for their loved ones at
home. Our tomorrows are in their
hands-theirs in ours. The nation
al conscience will not permit Ameri-
can soldiers and their dependents to
go unprovided with everything that a
just, generous and noble people can
do to compensate them for the suf-
ferings and sacrifices they make to
serve their country"
