TO FIND HERE
Only Few Men Enlisting
With Company M and Ma
chine Gun Contingents.

Recruits to Company NJ. and the
Machine Gun company continue to
come in slowly at the station in the
Model Steam Laundry building on
North Fourth street, which was re-
Gently opened by officials as campaign
headquarters.
Although a number of the present
company members are daily cam
paigning to obtain members, only a
few are joining and it Is feared that
the full wal strength Of $50 will not
be reached by Saturday.
The men who enlisted today are G.
w. Peterson. s. Stephens, Myre An
derson, James Fender, Chester Hale,
O. A. Nelson and Albin Carlson. The
latter three Joined the machine gun
contingent while the others enrolled
with Company NJ. Efforts to obtain
recruits will be doubled as only a few
days remain to bring the companies
up to war strength.
1t is probable that drafting will
commence within a short time and
those desiring to serve the colors with
their friends, must signify their in
tentions of entering the local COM
panies before Saturday. On Sunday
the national guard enters into active
service.
Young men Of Grand Forks are
urged to visit the recruiting station al

LEFT TO ENROLL
Only Three More Days to
Apply for Admittance to
Training Camp.

With only three days left in which
to apply for admission to the second
officers training camp to be opened
at Fort Riley, interest today took a
big squirt and early this morning, four
more Grand Forks young men filed
applications with F. l.. Goodman,
chairman of the Grand Forks county
committee. Several more have signi-
fed their intentions Of applying this
afternoon.
Only one of the four men applying
this morning was above consumption
age. The last day for filing applica-
tons for admittance into the camp
will be next Sunday, July Is. 1t is
pointed out by the committee chair
man of this county that men who are
over the CONSUMPTION age, have an ex-
cellent opportunity to become mem
bers Of the officers reserve corps, as
preference will be given to older men
at this camp.
The opportunity offered is an ex-
ceptional one, and men who are not
subject to draft at present, but who
will be included in the draft under
the first extension of age limit, may
now become officers and be prepared
to enter the service, other than a

Day Brings Large
Crowd TO City; Barnum and
Bailv'S Better Than Ever

AS is their want, the boys were
about the tents and at the railway
station long before breakfast and
thronged every inch of space while
preparations were going forward for
the parade.
Led by a squad of mounted police.
the circus cavalcade got under way In
good time, amid a flourish Of trumpets
and the music of half a dozen brass
bands. Tournament knights. on beau
tiful horses followed, and then came
rumbling wagons containing the deni-
zens Of the jungle. The wagons all
done up in gold on fields Of white and
red, looked impressive; an especially
interesting and unique feature was the
military band Of IS musicians mounted
on the backs of %prancing horses.
There was a cry of exultation, how
ever, when the ,ponderous, awe-in-
spring pachyderms hove in view.
There were thirty odd in the herd
some. with howdahs bearing stately
"'princesses," and each ELECTED a word
Of wonderment. Further on in the
procession were a great number Of
open cages. showing the lions, tigers
and other wild animals.
Roman chariots, Shetland ponies,
knights, trumpeteers and other circus
items were duly accounted for much
to the satisfaction of the %open-eyed
n Open-WOuLneQ pCpuldCe, WHICH
lined the sidewalks along the streets
covered by the parade. Immediately
after the parade thousands crowded
the side-show, where all the wonders
of the world are on exhibition.
The first performance is the mat
inee now in progress at the circus lot,
1t is estimated that there are $4,000
people within the tent. not counting
the babes in arms, who of course have
dragged their parents to the hippo
drome. The opening number on the
program is a glorious pageant en-
titled Aladdin and his Wonderful
Lamp" There, are more than 1,20C
characters and 700 horses and ele.
plants in the fairy pageant. This was
followed by the performing elephants

the marvelously trained chimpanzes
and Solomon the man monkey give
highly amusing performances; Signol

whole audience laughing at his unique
riding.

A Shortly after 2 o'clock this morn
ing, Barnum and Bailey's mammoth
circus sent it's advance guard into

Tthree other train loads reached the
city before 5 o'clock n at 1880 a.
M, the last of the big vans were being
hauled to the circus grounds at the
west end OF the. city.
The machine Hike system of unload
ing the big rafting wagons, witnessed
by many, despite the early hour,
brought no little admiration. !. Sew
hundred local residents, many who
have not abandoned slumber before
mid morning, since the last circus,
were on hand to gossip about the
| mysterious n covered wagons
| with the gilded wheels and iron pars.
and wonder what kind OF a savage
beast was a prisoner within.
Trains arriving in the city this
morning brought several. thousand
people who ~journeyed from far and
near to participate in the circus day
festivities. t&s
"Oh joy! the circus is with us once
more" they shouted. Hordes of
happy-faced juveniles n thousands
of grown-ups escorted the Barnum
and Bailey aggregation of gold be-
decked wagons, bearing beasts of the
forest and jungle followed by Long
and interesting procession of ele-
plants, spotted zebras and gaily cap
arisoned horses guided by knights OF
the, ring, paraded through the main
thoroughfares this morning. 1t goes
without saying it was a day of bliss
and ecstacy for the small boy and his
older brothers.
The circus arrived this morning
and pitched all ave the h%ippodrome

Two State Officers Soon Coming
To Grand Forks Soon in Effort
To Enforce Automobile Laus

are coming to Grand Forks again
within a short time. They have re-
ceived their. orders to enforce the law
strictly. Each car nus have two tags
displayed and a resident Of North sDa-
kota wearing Minnesota tags on his
a will be arrested. Also people US
ing lights which do not conform with
the new law which took effect July Il
will find themselves in trouble If they
use the glazing lights.
Heretofore hundreds of automobile
owners did not take out licenses at
all and they were not molested by To-
cal officers and this caused the legis-
lative assembly to authorize the en-
ployment of special agents to enforce
this law. The result is that we have
registered sixteen thousand morefcars
this year than last year and you will
agree with me that this increase Is not
wholly because Of the new sales made.
We have instructed our men to be
reasonable in their demands and we
trust that no innocent person will be
embarrassed. 1 think perhaps that it
would be well If your local papers
would print items~to the 'affect that
the state department was doing its ut
most to see that the laws relating to
automobiles are strictly enforced. I
appreciate your position In this mat
ter and bespeak for the department
your earnest cooperation"
Yours respectfully,
Thomas Hall,
Secretary OF. State.

STATE SECRETARY
SENDS WARNING TO
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Wholesale Arrests May be
Repeated Here in Near
Future.

Unless automobile owners in Grand
Forks and surrounding country com
ply with the North Dakota laws rela-
tive to the display of license tags and
the shading of lights, another whole
sale series of arrests will take place
here, according to a letter received to-
day from Secretary of State Thomas
Hall by Secretary c. W. Graves of the
Commercial club.
Aroused by the numerous and ap-
parently unwarranted arrests made
here recently by a state officer, the
Grand Forks Commercial club took
the matter UP at a meeting. and d.
rected the secretary to confer with
Mr.. Hall. The arrest Of local resi-
dents who openly defied the law was
not criticised but the apprehension OF
the many farmers coming here was
believed to be too severe, as many
| were not aware of the fact that a new
law had been passed by the last legis-
lature, making two tags on each ma
chine compulsory.
Many farmers were hauled before
local justices who were forced TO levy
heavy fines, with no alternative.
Business men Of the city objected and
had the arrests continued, it was rec
commended that men be stationed on
the roads leading into the city to
warn the farmers.
The statement made by Secretary of
State Hall. in his letter to the Com
mercial club, makes clear the plan of
the state to enforce the automobile
laws. 1t is as follows:
IL am in receipt Of you letter I'M
der date of the 9Th relative to the
many complaints made as to the arbi-
trary manner in which a representa-
tive of this department has been. en-
forcing the automobile law at Grand
Forks.
I notice that one of the complaints
is that Minnesota parties were arrest
ed because they displayed only one
tag. This is highly proper for the
reason that they are required under
the Minnesota law to display the two
tags. Many Of these people who were
arrested because they were displaying
only one Minnesota tag were residents
of North Dakota who had borrowed 8
tag from a Minnesota resident.
Warnings have been published ir
your city papers and in papers in al
the county seat towns of the state tina
the automobile law will be strictly en-
forced. We have reached the seventh
month Of the yea and in the larger
towns we find some of the most prom
inent citizens openly and f1agrantl!
violating the law and I think it show
a mighty poor spirit on the part o
