More Wheat Must Be See led

The following letter has been
sent to all the demonstr. lion
agents In the state:
have been scanning YOUR
field reports for the the las, TWO
weeks with a great deal OF in.
terest, especially for the purpose
OF getting such information { ON
them as you have given con-
cerning the seeding of gr.,ins,
especially wheat, in your res
spective counties.
l have been greatly dap.
pointed in the information that
l have obtained. Up 10 this
time, little grain, and especially
wheat, has been seeded. II ere
is little time left if we expect to
obtain a profitable crop at rext
harvest time. Surely our peo-
pie have forgotten the call bv
our government for the seeding
OF an increased acreage in wheat
to the amount Of thIrty-seven
per cent over last year. Last
years acreage in the was 225, 900
acres. In order to meet the de.
mandS of the Government we
should seed 350,000 acres. This
is absolutely necessary if we are
to do our part in furnishing the
bread supply for our armies and
the armies of Our Allies.
We are asking our young men
to defend our honor and our
liberty, if need be by giving up
their lives. If they are willing
to die for for us, surely our peo.
pie should be willing 10 live for
them.
Please have this letter publish.

ment.

Machinery of Draft Set in Mo-
ton Again

Washington, Nov. 10.-Presi.
dent Wilson formally put the
new mac hinery for the carrying
out of the selective draft bill in.
to operation tonight with the
publication of the foreword he
has written to the regulations
under which the second call will
be made. The regulations them.
selves and the questionaires
which more than 100000 regis
trants will be required to fill out
are being forwarded to- local
boards but have not yet been
made public.
War department officials esti-
mate that the whole process can
be completed within TO days.
This means that no second call
will be made upon the draft
forces before the middle of ne ext
February of the period of classi
fication will not begin until
December IS.
The president describes the
new plan of dividing all register
ed men not; already. modified
into five classes, subject to mill.
fary services by classes. as being
intended to produce "a more
perfect organization of our man
power"
The selective principle must
be carried to its logical conclu.
sion," the president said. And
he added there must be made a
complete inventory of qualitica.
tions of each registrar, in order
to determine "the place in the
military, industrial or agricul.
tural ranks of the nation in
which his experience and train.
ing can best be made to serve
the common good.
The inquiry projected in the
QUESTIONABLE will go deep into
the qualifications of each OF
nearly 10,QO0.0O0 men. The
success Of the plan and its com.
pletion within the estimated
time rests absolutely..upon the
whole hearted support given by
the people, especially bv the
doctors and lawyers ers of each
community and the president
calls upon them for their un.
stinted aid.

CITIZENS PLAN
POWER PLANT
Move on Foot to Form Stock
Company to Erect Light
Plant for City.

At a special meeting of the
commercial club held Monday
night steps were taken to or
ganize stock company for the
purpose of installing a modern
electric light plant in Bottineau.
A stock selling campaign is al
ready under way and meeting
with gratifying success.
This move on the part of the
citizens is prompted by TIE gen.
eral d. mand for a better service
that has been obtainable The
unce. tainty about securing a
twenty-four hour service, pom
ised for some time, the inability
to secure current on dark days
outside Of the regular hour
schedule and even the sugges-
tion Of eliminating the night
service unless a higher rate is
permitted, all eliminated in a
feeling of protest and revolt on
the part of the citizens of Botti-
neau.
The matter was discussed at
some length at the meeting Of
the commercial club, which was
one of the most representative
and best attended held during
the year.

DRIVE NOW ON
BOttineau County Making
Whirlwind Campaign to Do
it's Bit For War.

A countrywide campaign with
"A Liberty Loan in Every
Home" as the battle cry is COW
ering Bottineau county like a
prairie fire this week. Botti-
neau county, while not favored
with the bumper crops OF the
eastern part of the state, is
showing it's loyalty and patriot
ism in a way that will make
every citizen proud of it's a.
chievements when the campaign
closes on Saturday.
Organized team work is being
prosecuted in every town and
township in the county and
farmers, as we'll as their city
cousins are responding nobly to
the country's call.
Locally the campaign was CIV
en- it's first impetus at the special
meeting of the commercial club
Monday evening. A thorough
canvas OF the city IS being made
and it is hoped that by the time
the campaign is closed and the
totals are footed up, the city,
as we'll as the county as a whole,
will have reached it's quota.
V. B. Noble gave the campaign
a nice start by taking $4,000
of Uncle Sans gilt edge secur-
tiles. While this is the largest
individual subscription, there
are quite a number in the thous-
and dollar class, while hardly
home in Bottineau is without a
Baby Bond.
AS the subscriptions are not
all turned in and the campaign
does not close until Saturday,
we have been asked to defer
publication of the list of sub
scribers until next week, when
a complete list of the subscrip-
tions credited to Bottineau will
be published.

PARENTS PROTEST RULING

Quite a number OF parents,
representative of every part OF
the state held a meeting at Dew
lis Lake and passed resolutions
taking issue with the rulings OF
the State Board of Health in
the matter of compulsory vac
cination of school children.
That this antifeeling would
find expression was assured by
the protests of the many par
ents who resent the action OF
the board in enforcing this law.
It is understood that provis-
ion was made for a meeting at
Fargo Oct. 30 for the organiza-
ton of a Freedom League.
