COUNTY'S
DRAFT ARMY TO
LEAVE SEPT q
Six Local Men Will Entrain
at Crookston for Camp
Dodge.

Final orders have been received and
the first quota Of Polk county to be
sent to the cantonment camp at Fort
Dodge. Des Moines. Iowa, has been
reduced to SO men.
Notices have been sent notifying the
drafted men to appear in Crookston
at the Office of the county auditor at
10 o'clock Friday morning. Septen-
Der q. It is expected that the men
will entrain on the Great Northern
flyer which leaves Crookston at 10:40
p. m. A special train was scheduled
to take the men to the camp but; the
lowering of the quotas from the: sur
rounding counties will make this un-
necessary. It is thought the order re-
.ceived lowering the number OF men to
leave is for the benefit Of the farmers
SO that they might find no difficulty
through a shortage Of help.
Each man, in the quota to leave
Friday is instructed to provide him
self with the following articles: One
old suit, WI hand towels, one comb,
one brush, small hand mirror, two
suits of light woolen underwear. four
pair Of socks, tooth brush and no suit

ICED TOMATOES.

Inkster, N. D.-The feat /of the
American farmer who produced self
popping pop corn by crossing it with
red peppers is duplicated by Harry
Olmsted. He etherizes his tomato
plants before planting. The ether
hastens the growth ard enters into
the sap, e~vaporating slowly. This
chills the tomatoes, and when picked
they are iced, ready for use.
