ATTENTION EVERYBODY

Road Overseers, Treasurers, Citi-
zens ought to use every effort within
their power to see that our roads are
put in first class condition for winter
use.
Especially it is important to burn or
cut weeds for Is feet on each side of
the road so snow will not lodge or
drift in, making it impossible for easy
transportation.
Good roads throughout the winter
months are perfectly feasible if every
body will take sufficient time and in
terest in the matter.
Quick medical attention is out of
the question unless roadways are in
first class shape, and a history of the
past years will indicate any number
of mistakes when great suffering aye
even life itself, could have been
spared, had transportation facilities
been adequate for speedy and safe
travel.
Instead of being forced to abandon
your Christmas shopping or other en-
joyments on account of deep snow and
poor roads, a little time and care of
the latter will insure a continued
utilization and pleasure, not to men
tion daily mail service-plus ease of
hauling produce to market.
One of the greatest services we can
render our government at this time is
to further the good roads movement.
Therefore, if your roads are rough
or rutted, drag them repeatedly, and
don't forget to free the roadsides of
any obstacles tending to hold the
snow.
All together boysllet's do it now

Washington, Nov. 2O.-Making prac-
tically every one of the more than
100000 men registered subject to

hind the lines, drastic new regulations
for the draft have been approved by

provisions which give teeth to the re.

New Physical Examination.
An entirely new system of physical
examination is ordered whereby q
man is examined not only by the ply

an expert board of seven specialists
before being finally accepted or dis
charged from military duty.
The provost general marshal's Of
fee has been given the assistance of
the entire postal machinery of the
country in tracing down men who
nave moved from their original juris-
dictions, leaving no addresses behind.
General Crowder said that it could
not be made too plain that the regula-
tions affect every one of the register
ed men not at present in the uniform

The rules will become effective in
part on November 20. They are to
go into effect as whole on a date to

BASS WRITES Of
CAMP LIFE
CAMP MILLS NOT TO BE COM
PARED WITH CAMP GREENE
Anxious for the Next Move Which
May Take Them to France-Ali
Well and Happy


dur soldier boys and doubly glad to
hear from Ed. BassingtEwaighte. who
was connected with this office for six
years. Part of his letter is as follows:
This is holiday, partly because we
have every Wednesday afternoon off,
and partly because we had an inocula-
tion for para-typhoid fever yesterday
afternoon, so they let us of this morn
ing too. This makes the second in
oculation here, and we also got two
shots the last week we were in Camp
Greene. Guess we are through with
that now.
Monday morning we started drilling
in real earnest. with the longest drill
hours we have had yet. Get up at
5:45, have setting up exercises, break
fast and fatigue duty, and at z go out
to drill steady until 1880. Have
dinner at IL, and at go back to drill.
between 1880 and we have to fix
our tents up and clean house. Have
retreat at $3.50, and then supper. The
drill hours are divided up between
drilling, calisthenics, first aid work
and lectures. From retreat until $3.50
we are free to any place within five
miles without pass. If we go far
ther than five miles or stay out later
than $3.50, we have to have written
pass. The five mile area includes
several good sized towns, so there is
no need to get pass unless we want
to go to New York. and look at the
tall buildings.
The camp here is not fixed up as
nice as the one at Charlotte, and we
miss lot of conveniences that we had
there. Had hard board floors and
electric lights in our tents there,
Here we have the frosty ground for
floor and candles for lights. Had a
nice, big mess hall there, while here
We have to eat outside or takes the
grub to our tents. However, we are
all we'll and satisfied and anxious for
the next move, which is expected
shortly, and may be France.
The sight of an aeroplane was a
great curiosity back home, but if we
tried to keep track of them all here,
we would break our necks. There is
training school for aviators here, and
there are. ten or fifteen machines in
the air all the time. We were quite
interested at first, but do not pay any
attention to them now.
We have five officers now, all first
|lieutenants. All them are doctors, as
no one but doctor can get COM
mission in this branch of the service
Our own officers give us, our inocula
tions and vaccinations now.
We lave been issued heavy clothes
this week, so are able to stand the
cold weather in fine shape. We got
two woolen suits, three suits of heavy
underwear. overcoats and woolen
gloves. Our light clothes will all be
returned.
The only dissatisfied one know of
in the company now is Sherbin Sever
son, who is biting his nails in two be-
cause someone started report in
Oakes that he was coming home,
which he wishes to deny.

"sAck TO THE FARM"
Presented by Pupils Of High School
y. on November 28th

on november (0IO
The cast which will present Back
to the Farm" at the local opera house.
Wednesday evening. November 2Sth,
under the direction of the high school
are busy putting in the final licks. The
play is high class comedy that is
annually presented by the Agricultural
College of the University of Mime
sofa. This past summer the North
Dakota Agricultural College of North
Dakota, at Fargo, gave this play in
something like over forty communi-
ties.
Synopsis of the play is as follows:
The first act of the play is laid on a
farm in the west-a farm of the usual
type, carelessly managed, with no
conception of economy or scientific
methods. Merton, the farmers sou
is wide awake American boy, who is
eager for an agricultural education
that will help him to run the farm
more scientifically. He asks Rose
Meads, the district school teacher. to
marry him and settle down on the
farm with him; but she, a city bred
girl, will not consider leading the life
of farmers wife. Merton tells his
father of his desire to further his
education, but his father, enraged,
orders him off the farm.
The second act finds Merton about 10
graduate from college. He learns from
Ashley, a lawyer from his fathers
neighborhood, that the farm has been
mortgaged and is about to be forfeited
because of failure to pay the interest.
Rose Meade is at a dance that Merton
attends, but size is still deaf to
Merton's pleas, though her ideas of
farm life kave changed. At the end
of the act, Merton's mother arrives to
ask her son to return-his father is
sick and discouraged and needs his
son.
The third act brings us back to the
old farm-but the farm has undergone
metamorphosis. It is now run on a
paying basis-everything that tends to
waste has been eliminated. Rose
Meade comes for a visit in Askley's
car. She is now ready to share the
life Of farmer-the life on modern
farm to her holds but greater charms
than that of great stuffy city
