APPELLANTS HAVE SMALL
CHANCE TO Be EXEMPTED
Thirty-four Out Of 734 Appeals From
Decisions District Board Acted
Upon-Board's Action Upheld.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 11!--One
hundred North Dakota registfants
who have appeals pending with
President Wilson already are at
Camp Dodge. The probability OF any
large percentage Of these men re-
turning home is slight, according to
the statistics Of the district board,
which show that Of total of 734
appeals from decisions Of the district
board for presidential clemency, but
81 have been acted upon. and in every
case the action OF the district board,
holding the registrant for service,
has been upheld by the President.
Adjutant General Fraser yesterday
wired to Washington his report upon
North Dakota's registration expense,
which totaled $15,094.45, or about 70
cents for each registrant examined,
and S2.S6 for each select service man
accepted. The expenses Of the SO
local boards were S4,s25.S0; registra-
ton costs, as distinct from the work
of the exemption boards, were S4,-
059.27; clerk hire amounted to S3,-
1880; district board expenses, ST.
1868; miscellaneous items totaled
$654.l1, and travelling expenses OF
district board members, three Of
whom resided in as many corners OF
the state, were $451.7s.
This expense was the smallest per
select service man accepted of any
state in the union which reported
draft expenses.

CARDINAL LUCON, ARCH
BISHOP OF RHEIMS

Paris, Nov. 5.--Correspondence OF
the Associated Press.)-The 152nd
line regiment itself the first to re-
ceive the "fourragere" both in the
colors OF the war cross and OF the
military medal, has just conferred a
military medal "fourragere'' upon
Cardinal Lucon, archbishop of
Rheims, in recognition of his brav-
cry In never quitting his post in his
much bombed city.
In order to make the cardinal
archbishop eligible for this distinc-
ton, the regiment first appointed
him honorary chaplain to the regi-
ment and later when the prelate was
dining with the regiments mess the
colonel presented the insignia saying
Soldiers on campaign have Moth
ing to Offer" We should like, how
ever, to give you souvenir of your
visit to the "Fffteen-two" so offer
what We value most-the 'fourra-
gere" of the regiment.
The "fourragere" which the cardi-
nal will henceforth wear on ceremon-
ious occasions is a. plated cord worn
round the shoulder like the aiguil-
lettes worn by American naval Of
flcers in full dress. The first fourra-
gere was made of strands Of the
same color as the war cross and was
awarded to all men of any unit which
had been cited twice in the army
orders. When some units had won
five citations a new fourragere was
granted made In the colors OF the
military medal. But even this was
found not to be SUFFICIENT, and when
the famous foreign legion had won
six citations, a third fouragere,
woven in red, the color OF the legion
Of honor, was instituted for units
that exceed FIVE citations.

GIRL RANCHER
Wins SUCCESS
Worlds Record Establish
ed by Linton Girls
Sale Of Stock

Linton. N. D., Dec. 1l.-Miss Annie
L. Petrie, a brave girl who, with a
sister, broken IN health. came to
Emmons in the pioneer days Of the
county, and who has stuck to it'i as
a homesteader and rancher ever
since, won a worlds record when
she marketed at Chicago, 30 head of
Shorthorn steers weighing 1882
pounds apiece and bringing $14 the
hundredweight, or an average of
$238.SS per head. Telling her own
story, Miss Petrie said:
Sister and came to Emmons
county in the early days of settle
ment. Her health was broken by
years of teaching, and was a school
girl. For a start we had two roam
Durham heifers that father gave us,
which we shipped to North Dakota
In an emigTant car. Our progress was
slow at first. Money was scarce. We
taught school for S26 month, and
took school warrants, which had to
be discounted from 10 per cent to
20 per cent to get the cash. and only
a six months term, for pupils were
too scattering and weather too un-
certain to have winter school. Even
so, we saved q little money. We
bought us two saddle horses and a
good calf whenever we had an op-
portunity."
The sisters bought q relinquish-
ment on q claim, and one OF them
homesteaded ii. Later they bought
a store at Winchester, to which they
had TO freight their goods by wagon
65 miles. Miss Annie Petrie became
postmistress. All of their savings
went into their ranch. When they
first paid n fancy price for a regis
tered sire the neighbors began talk
ing Of a guardian for the young wo-
men. Today the Petrie ranch is one
OF the finest in the northwest; its
are in demand for breed
ing stock on the country's largest
stock farms, and the two sisters have
reaped the reward which their en-
ergy, enterprise and intelligence has
ripely merited. They consider their
as typical Of what may
be done in North Dakota with a lit
tie pluck, diligence and sound busi-
ness sense. Incidentally, they can
write a check with whole string of
ciphers after the initial digit and
know that it will be cashed.
