n. D. Gets Best with Rsuulars,

This is story from Camp
Greene that appeared in last Sun
days issue Of a Minneapolis pa
per. That the North Dakota bows
are cutting ''some swath" in the
east and even attracting the at
tention of the regulars is indicat.
ed in this dispatch:
Camp Greene, Charlotte, y. C.
Nov. l0-When the 47th United
States infantry regulars arrived
here from Syracuse, n. Y. a week
ago, a corporal of that regiment
wrote and had published a long
screed in the local papers. 1t was
an appeal for everyone to treat
the regulars as wei! as they had the
boys Of the national guard of the
northwest, However, the writer
went farther and tried to draw !.
comparison between the guard
and the regulars. and unbur!en-
ed himself Of questionable remarks
Many of the North Dakota boys
favored answering it, but Colonel
j. H. Frame aud other officers
d!ssuaded them.
"The regulars were promptly
given a chance to cover a So, 900
bet that the First North Dakota
could produce five for every man
the 47th had on the border, and 10
to every man the regulars had in
the Philippines, the same $4,000
bet to stand that North Dakota
men had an average longer service
than the men of the 47th.
"The bet was not taken. but
the writer of the article in ques-
ton was reduced to the ranks, fin
ed a month s pay and locked up in
the guard house for two weeks.
"The squeal came yesterday
when some of the regulars. with a
mule, were passing the North OAK
ota camp. The mule SHE'D.
"Look at that remarked a
regular hitting the mule with his
hand, those Dakotans are such
fighters that even a mule is afraid
Of them
"Just then the mule raised her
hind hoofs in truly Maudian fash
ION and caught the soldier square
ly in the stomach. He was re-
moved to hospital.
"There is much gayety among
the Dakotans.

were cancelled when the i,'ca was
explained. At one. seeing the sue
cess in this particular place, the
entire city of New York adopted
the beeFless Tuesday so far as hot
els We're concerned. Later the idea
spread througout the entire state
OF New York and it is now being
adopted i'll practically every sec
ton of the United States.
In many sections there was con-
siderable explanation needed to Sc
cure the cooperation of the publ,
while in other sections it has been
found possible to go even farther.
Wheatless Wednesday" has also
been adopted in a large number
OF places. This is for the prrpose
OF saving wheat by eating on tina;
particular day nothing made of
wheat in any form but to eat corn
bran and other articles to take th,,
placr or the wheat.
The movement for the conserva-
tl"n has struck North Dakota and
tn" people are cooperating in every
way TO make the "Beefless Tues
day and Wheatless Wedncs-
DAY a success. The hotels have
decided to observe this day and
practically 80 per cent of tn.
larger hotels have entered an agrc-
elnrnt. TO be sure that the davs
VIII be observed by hotels, a travel
ing men S association in the state
had each individual member sign
a pledge not to patronize a hotel
or restaurant IN the state which
does not observe the two days. This
would not have much effect on the
large hotels, but as the greater
part of the trade for the smaller
hotels comes from the travelling
men. the small hotels cannot afford
to to disregard the two days while
the large ones are observing them.
