DEALERS IN FOODS MUST GET
LICENSE.

Th. attention of dealers in food pro-
ducts IL called by DR.. E. F. Ladd,
federal r,cd administrator for North
Dakotc.. to the fact that a license must
be procured prior to November 1st.
Failure 70 procur such license on the
part of the dealer will constitute vio-
lation Of the food administration law
and render the dealer liable to heavy
fine. Application must be made d.
rect to the food administration, licens-
ing division, at Washington, D. C. For
the present, hotels, restaurants, con-
fectioneries, ice cream manufacturers
and bakers will not require license
Monthly detailed sworn reports must
be f..rnished by every dealer for the
food +. ;r.inistration, and the books will
be liable to inspection at any time.
All food products must be sold at rea.
sonable prices, as though there was q
sufficient supply, and the profits must
be limited to those which prevailed i,
ordinary years.

THE FUEL SUPPLY.

Grand Forks, Oct. 24.-Because Of
his familiarity with the subject as
Dean of the School of Mines, President
Babcock, of the University of North
Dakota, has been able to bring to the
attention of the government many
facts concerning the fuel supply which
ha aroused attention in Washington,
and which will do much toward avert
ing threatened heritage of fuel in
the northwest.
President Babcock has sought to
have government aid given to the
work of distributing Ignite coal in
those sections of the northwest where
it can be used to advantage in order
to lessen the demand for eastern coal
and he has been in close touch with
the Fuel administration in relation to
its work Of arranging for the largest
possible flow of coal to upper lake
ports during the remaining few weeks
of navigation. 1t is foregcne con.
clusion that there will be ]" coal to
spare, but it is hop~d that by means
of wise conservati: and intelligent
distribution SO to arrange matters
that there will be enough % provide
for actual needs.

.FO0D CAMPAIGN
TO Be CONTINUED

At the request of President Will
son the Food Pledge Campaign Or
iginally scheduled to be held through
out the nation the week Ct October
2l-2Sth has been continued for one
week longer. The big effort of the
campaign will be made October 20 to
November d.
This was done so that there would
be no conflict with the big drive of the
closing days of the second Liberty
Loan Ca-lpaign. In his letter to Mr..
Hoover s.sking for this change Pres.
Wilson said:
II shc.l like to take this occasion
to impress upon them (all who are
engaged is assisting in this effort)
that in no way underrate the import
'ance of their effort. II we are to
supply our allies with the necessary
food and are to reduce the prices of
our own rood stuffs during the coming
winter it can only be done by the
utmost seif-dcnial and sacrifice on the
part of our people, through the elm
ination Of waste, and by rigid econo-
my in the use of food. """"'1 ask them
not to allow this alteration in program
to diminish their fine enthusiasm but
rather to rcdouble their energies in
this very great branch Of national
service"
DR.. Ladd is very dcsirous that this
with the success Of this Campaign. So
far the results are very encouraging,
over four thousand signed pledges
having been received in North Dakota.

CHANGE in DRAFT
Registrants Placed In Five Classes
Men With High Numbers
May Have 70
Serve

Washington, Oct. 20.-Mew dra1,
regulations, postponing the physical
examination of the remaining 5000, ,OOu
draft registrants until they are called
for military service, and assigning the
men to five classes, thus determining
the order of their call to the colors
were announced by Provo... Marshal
General E. H. Crowder.
Under the new regulations it will be
possible for registrant to determine
whether he will be called in the frs,
.500,O additional men to be summon
ed, the second 1000, or later contin-
gents.
The changed system will reduce the
labors of local boards 80 per cent by
reversing the present process of first
conducting physical examinations and
then having exemption claims. Here
after all economic questions will be
settled before the physical examina-
ton is held.
Men who received high numbers in
the original drawing At Washington
and have supposed they would not be
called till the last will be subject to
disappointment or elation by the new
order, according to the way they look
at it, as they may be moved up by the
new classification.
Here is the new system in q nut
shell:
Five classes of draft registrants are
established approximately as follows:
FIRST-Men with absolutely no de-
pendents.

SECRETARY DANIELS
ISSUES STATEMENT

Secretary of the Navy Daniels is
sued the following:
''Ths transport Antilles was torpe-
doed on Oct. 18th, while returning
from foreign service. The ship was
under convoy of an American patrol
vessel at the time. The torpedo was
not ssen nor was the submarine which
fired it seen. The torpedo hit abreast
of the engine room bulkhead and the
ship sank in five minutes. One hun
dred and sixty seven persons out Of
237 on board were saved. About 70
are missing"
The ship plugged below so swiftly
that few could have survived.
Interest is intense in the manner
the submarine managed to elude the
protecting convoy. The fact that the
ship went down in few minutes,
coupled will. the n cess ty of r scu-
ing survivors,, made impossible, j,
believed, any attempt to locate the
U-boat.
! The heaviest loss of life, it is
thought, was among the engineers
and crew of the engine room. Stun
ned by the explosion that virtually
broke the ship IN two, these men must
have had little time to reach the deck.
The ab:e:1:e of casualties among the
army and "cvy officers aboard is at
tributed =. The fact that their state
rooms lay along the decks from
which they could jump into the water
below in the hope of being picked up.
It is believed the attack was made
well out at sea, since it took two days
for news of the disaster to reach
Washington. Survivors are thought
to be safe ashore.
The loss of the Antilles marks the
first impairment of transport serv-
ice that has operated successfully
since Americas active entrance into
the war.
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1917-10-25

SECOND-Skilled farm laborers OF
others slightly less available for mil.
itary service than the first class.
THIRD-Skilled laborers and men
whose work is deemed vital to war in.
dustries.
FOURTH-Married men with chill.
dren, whose families are wholly de.
pendent upon them for support.
F1FTH-Cripples, mental detectives
and these especially exempted from
military service.
Registrnnts will be assigned to one
of these classes from detailed informa.
ton they furnish local boards in reply
to a detailed form of questions submit
ted to them.
They have the right to appeal to
be placed in lower class. After such
appeals are passed by the district
board, or if no appeal is made, their
status is officially fixed.
Thereafter when call is made for
the second 100000 under the present
draft law, local boards will fix quotas
and fill their quotas completely from
class one, starting with class two only
when the first class is wholly exhaust
ed. The men needed to fill each quota
will then present themselves for phys
ical examination.
The order in which the men are
fixed in their classes will be the same
order in which they now stand in the
liability list under the draft drawing
onductsd last July.
