British Capture Jaffa,
An Important. Sea Port
Jaffa, the Most Important City on the
Mediterranean Coast Taken by Brit
ish Army in Palestine

London. Nov. 2O.-Jaffa, the impor
tant city on the Mediterranean coast,
has been taken possession of by the
British army in Palestine, the Turks
who apparently are continuing their
withdrawal northward, Offering no
opposition. The text of the official
statement making this announcement
reads:
"Jaffa was occupied by Australian
and New Zealand mounted troops
without opposition. The enemy ap.
pears to be continuing to the north"
All along the Piave river the Ital-
ians are holding the German and. Aus
tro.Hungarian armies in check. No.
where have the invaders been able
to cross the stream, and at several
places where they previously had
gained access to the western bank
they have been brilliantly counter at
tackled and forced to withdraw to the
rivers edge.

Frank Fiske, county chairman,
also makes the following announce
ment:
1.-The draft quota of Sioux county
is 81 men, and we want to furnish
each man with comfort kit. These
may be made up in three sizes, and
to give an idea what they should
contain we give the contents of kit
No. 1: Soap in metal or celluloid
case; handkerchiefs, khaki color;
lead pencil; playing cards or game;
writing pad; envelopes;i tooth-pow-
der in tin container; small steel
mirror; sewing kit as per specifca-
tions; shaving soap; tobacco and

from Sioux county in the training
camps Of the National Army, be-
sides number of others who volun-
tered early in the summer and are
with different units in .the east or
on their way over there
1t is possible that ladies from
other parts Of the county would
help make comfort kits for the boys
especially from neighborhoods
where men have already been draft
ed. If so they could send the Kits
addressed to Frank Fiske, Fort
Yates, or if they have been sent
direct notify me towhom they were
sent, so that the good work will not
be duplicated" ,"

Word was received the first of the
week by the Local Board that he had

Berthold reservation Indian service,
who was at one time located at Fort
Yates.
A complete record Of the case
against Jumbo" has been for
warded by the Local Board. He
was posted for examination on Aug.
14th, and notified by mail both at
Fort Yates and Elbowoods. The

considered by the military authori-
ties as mitigating, is not known.

it was his duty to notify the Local
Board where he could be reached by
mail if called. The posting of the
notice of call to appear in the Of
flee Of the Local Board is also suf-
ficient notice. Under the regula-
tions it is up to every man register

Woman's Weakness for MilIiner,
Causes Husband to Seek separa.
tion In Court,

Chicago.-Mrs. John w. Olson's
prime weakness was hats. But her
husband found little interest in the
millinery magazines with which their
home was. strewn. Neither did he en-
joy standing before show windows in
which Partisan creations were exhib-
tied. That is where the trouble
started.
"Billy" Stamm was twenty-five, we'll
tailored and good-looking. He adored
millinery and he was an artist at turn
ing out nifty headgear from miscel-
laneous assortment Of trimmings. So
Stamm, being an old friend of the fam
fly, became an extremely friendly per-
son to Mrs. Olson and finally they
opened hat store together. Then o.
son left home. He has filed suit for
divorce, naming Stamm, whose ability
to trim hats, he alleges, has wrecked
the Olson home.

10000 Bu.hel Flax

1t is reported that the Arneson-
Lange Company received an average
yield of a little better than 6 bushels
of flax to the acre or a total of 49,.
600 bushels from 1000 acres, which
at say $500 per bushel, makes their
total receipts for the crop $39, 600.
This does not compare in magnitude
with the figures computed in this
flax deal by The Saturday Blade,
but is very good nevertheless, con.
sidering the season.
