MUST TRANSPORT CHILDREN.
Attorney General Gives Opinion or
Much Moeted Question.

Bismarck. N D., Nov. "a School
boards must furnish transportation
for consolidated schools to all patrons
except those that live less than two
miles and a half from the school, ac-
COrding to an opinion by Atty. Gen.
William LANCER. The attorney gen.
eral writes on the matter:
1T is my opinion that school
boards are required to provide for
transportation and must furnish
actual conveyance if insisted upon
by the school patrons, with the
exception that 1t does not apply to
pupils living less than two and one
half miles from school.
Il note that a number Of boards
insist that all they must do in the
case of consolidated schools is to
offer to pay the costs Of transporta-
tion and that it is up to the school
patrons TO provide a conveyance, and
l wish to say that these boards are
clearly in error. UnquestionabIy the
school board, under said law, must
actually furnish conveyance, except
as stated before, to the children liv-
ing less than two and one-half miles
from such school,"

his attention to the freshman squad.
The freshman squad also has the ad-
vantage of daily practice while the
informal team gets only three after

required for military practice.

CAMP DODGE IS
READY FOR One.
PER CENT SOON
COMING TO CAMP.
Expect 500 Men To Fill
Places of Those Dis
charged

Camp Dodge, Ia, Nov. 24.-Au-
thority for the transportation to
Camp Dodge of / per cent Of county
quotas from the four states supply
ing the cantonment with men has
been given local boards. They will
come here as soon as convenient for
fhe board to issue necessary orders.
Men who resigned positions when
they thought the third increment
would be called will be among this
] per cent, as officers say the call
was issued for their benefit.
With the arrival and assignment
of these men, the division will re-
ceive about 500 men, approximately
the number discharged because Of
physical disability.
Opportunity for skilled mechanics
10 gain promotion to higher grades
Isl held out by the ordnance and
signal corps. Technical men are
needed badly by both organizations,
and officers are requesting that such
soldiers communicate through mill
tary channels with proper officers
for transfer.
General Vignal Of the French army
has cancelled his visit to Camp
Dodge for a time at least. Officers
received word that the general was
engaged in Washington and could
not make the trip at the present
time.
One hundred and fifty men Of the
coast artillery are to be returned to
their former commands. These men
we're originally sent here to fill vac
ancies as sergeant majors, both
regimental and battalion.
The men are returning not be-
cause they did not make good here.
but because regimental and battal-
ion officers had selected men picked
for this work In the majority Of
cases, the aTtillerymen are anxious
to return, as they left commanders
with whom they have served for
years. and also friends they have
soldiered with for some time.
Dogs Must Have Licenses.
An order from division headquar-
ters announces that all dogs in the
Cantonment must be licensed. Failure
of any dog to show his qualifications
in this regard will result in his i'm
mediate discharge from service. And
IL he hasn't any home. he probably
will lose his life. So Lieutenant p
R. Morrissey has been designated as
dog catcher" and also is in charge
OF issuing license tags to owners of
dogs at the camp. He has listed all
the dogs in the service" The list
is a regular social register or army
roster. Every dog, with his regiment
and company, has n place there.
Break Corn Picking Record.
Nine hundred soldiers from Camp
Dodge picked 30 acres of corn in
Just one hour the other day.
Charles Eads, farmer northwest of
the cantonment, is giving up his
ground for the artillery range. He
had not been able to secure help for
corn husking, so he appealed to the
officials at the camp. The latter fur
nished the 900 men and all corn
hus<ing records in Iowa are believed
to have been broken.

I'VE bring to the French republic

There is a grim determination
amongst us to wage war until the
world is free from the shadow and
spectre of the sword. We have in
mind no material gain. What we
want is an assurance of permanent
peace and the tramp of our soldiers
upon the soil Of France will be heard

yours. 1t is here that all come to

the issue clearly and France may

of the day and seldom failed to gain
the needed distance whenever called
upon to do so. He was responsible
for four touchdowns and hurled some
grand forward passes.
Guyons' hottest competitor for the
leading halfback honors is his team
mate, Everett Strupper, who has
been claimed by many southern crit
les to be the greatest halfback Of the
past decade and more than a few in
the east have admitted that he is in
the same class with Brickley or Coy
as a halfback. No one seems to be
certain as to which of the pair,

though in most cases Strupper gets
