who has won fame on the Fargo
half-mile circular dirt track for the
past two years. namely. wild Bill'

fair crowd Wednesday evening for
the first time by Starter Hankinson.
Naturally, the interest will center
on the big Bitten Benz No. 2, the
worlds greatest speed creation. This
is the record smashing car which
the late Bob Burman drove a mile in
25 1-5 seconds at Ormond Beach,
Fla. and the car which Burman pre-
dicted, before his death at Corona,

generals ONCE is stin awaiting
advice from Washington as to the
credits due the various counties for
the men assembled in federal service
at Fort Lincoln. A majority of these
credits will go to Burleiga. Morton
and Stutsman counties. from which
the companies OF the Second
battalion which have not yet report
ed credits were recruited. Stark
county's credits nave been reported,
but there may be some changes in

! as others from which men have been

Mr.. Leissmann was informed that
the belated reports from Washington
may be expected today. when the
tabulation OF all net county quotas
will be completed.
INDIAN JUMsLE 10

Mr.. Leissmann is still at loss to
know what to do with lists Of Indian
registrants received by the county
boards in which the registration was

had been serially numbered. The
Indian registration lists were num-
bered by the Indian agents. and were
not filed with the county boards
until July 10. Naturally the serial
numbers borne by these Indian lists
conflict with the numbers appearing
on the regular county lists, and IL
adopted would result in two men
being drafted on the same number
in reservation counties. Provost
Marshal General Crowder's instruc-
tons are to treat these registration
cards the same as any others which
were filed with the board too late 10
be numbered. liz this instance, how
ever, the Indians were registered
prior to June IS, as required by the
regulations, and they cannot be
penalized because the Indian depart
ment red tape resulted In the names
reaching the state board late.

Wednesday, third day of the Inter

Fargo police said today. A perusal
of the police records this morning
failed to reveal even one arrest for
that particular misdemeanor.
That the supply is exhausted on the
Fargo side OF the river, or the boys
have taken themselves to the water

-Four Migrants, all transients, fell
into the arms of the law, however.

June 80, 1913. This vast total of

The actual cost to date, based

penditure since then, Is 500, S14,-
$4,000. This includes Uncle
Sans $1,000 100000 Liberty

Great Britain has been the big

include Canada's $645, zoe, 900,
nor the s763. 100000 spent by

Powers Of Leadership.
But 1t is guard duty In time Of war
that calls all a corporal's powers of
leadership to the force. This is called
exterior guard duty and consists of
outposts during a halt and advance,
flank or ear guards during an adj
vance or retreat. 1t includes all that
Is commonly called patrolling. Bodies
for this duty may be larger than q
squad, and may be under the COM
mand OF q sergeant or ever q COM
missioned officer, IL the duty is i'm.
portant enough; but here again the
squad is the normal body to use and
the squad leader the man put In charge

always been considered the eyes of ar
army. and eve the airplanes cannot
altogether take their place. Whether
q corporal does any or much of thii
sort of work depends on the ability
Of the individual, and IL he does wei
In this he soon ceases to be a corporal
for the qualities required In good ad
