CONGRESS PLANS TO
ADJOURN IN OCTOBER

Washington, Sept. 18.-Congres-
sional plans contemplate adjourn
ment early in October.
Speed in the Senate alone is es-
sential to carrying this plan into
effect. The House has almost COM
pleted it's work and conferees are
making all possible haste to reach
agreements on measures that have
passed both houses.
Indications are that the Senate will
cooperate in the effort to reach ad-
journment at the time tentatively
set. It has taken hold of the SOL
diers' and sailors insurance bill with
an apparent determination to expe.
dite consideration of it.
Aside from the insurance measure
and the $7,0OO,O0O,O0O war deficien-
cy bill, most of the big legislation
of the session will be in conference
this week. Measures include the
war tax, war bond and trading with
the enemy bills. The war board
measure will go to conference from
the House tomorrow and the other
two already are in conference hands.
Only a few big differences exist be-
tween the two houses on the war
credits and trading with the enemy
measures.
Whether the alien draft resolution,
adopted by the Senate last week, will
be taken up by the House is unde-
termined.
The war deficiency bill probably
will pass the House.

HOMESiEADERS' RIGHTS
Protected CONGRESS
IN CASES OF DRAFTS

The homesteader in this county as
we'll as in other parts of the country
will welcome the news to the effect
that he will be protected in case of
call to the colors.
Congress has recently passed legis-
lation for the relief of such home
steaders who have volunteered or
been drafted, or who will be drafted
in the near future. Upon the filing
of the certificate of muster into SER
vice and expressing his desire to hold
his claim or homestead, the govern
oent will take care of his rights un-
der conditions set forth in the act.
He must have resided, improved and
cultivated his homestead or claim for
at least one year.
There are many who will be af-
fected by this act right here in Bel
trami county and who will be re-
lieved to learn of this piece of good
fortune.

FOOTBALL SQUAD IN
FIRST SCRIMMAGE

doc" Diedrich put his squad Of
high school warriors through their
first skirmish last night and shifted
the men here and there trying them
out at the different positions.
The skirmish was only light
workout, the high boys being lined
up against few graders and last
year men.
The lineup for the skirmish last
night was: l.. e. Knapp; Larson
l.. T. "Beals" Becker, left guard
center, Opsahl; right guard, Bob
bic" Naylor; right tackle, Harvey;
right end. Simons; quarterback, Kit
tleson and Kenfield; left half, Doran !;
right half, "Galloping" Carl Tenn
strom; fullback, Whitney. The men
will be shifted from one place to the
other until the best combination is
found.
TennstrOm was the heavy hitter
in the backfield last night, while the
experienced playing of Opsahl, who
r. also last years man, strength
ened the line considerably.
The players will be given a black
board chalk talk by Coach Diedrich
in the school house tonight in which
he will explain the simpler football
rules for the special benefit of the
new men.
