VOLUNTEER CREDIT
QUESTION SETTLED
Stevens County's Quota Of Fifty Men
is Now Nearly Full Without
Draft

Stevens county is to be given Gre
dit for the soldiers who have already
enlisted when the new army OF nail
million men is raised by select1Ve
draft. The quota from this county
will be about fifty men, and approx
imately this number have already en-
listed.
The provision of the new law reads
as follows
Quotas for the several states, ter
ritories, and the District of Columbia
or subdivisions thereof, shall be de-
termined in proportion to population
thereof and credit shall be given to
anv state, territory, district, or SUD-
division thereof for the number OF
men who were in the military service
of the United States as members OF
the national guard on April 1, 1917,
or who have since said date entered
the military service of the United
States from any such state, territory,
district, or subdivision, either as
members of the regular army or the
national guard.
No person liable to military service
will be permitted to escape therefrOm
by furnishing a substitute or the
payment of money, and the payment
of bounties for recruits is prohibited.
Approximately 100000 men be-
tween the ages of 21 to 80, inclusive,
will be required to register as avail
able for military service in the war
with Germany under the terms of
the new national army bill.
From these 100000 men will be
selected the first 100000 recruits to
the selective CONSUMPTION army, the
second 100000 when the president
decides to call for them, and recruits
to bring the regular army and Ma
tional Guard up to maximum war
strength in the event volunteers to
these forces fail to come forward in
sufficient numbers and the president
exercises his power of draft.
In Minnesota there are 100000
men who will be required to register
and from these approximately II 1000
men will be selected as the quota of
Minnesota in the first force of $780,
900.
MinnesOta's quota in detail will be
1855 for the regular army, $500
for the national guard and 11,122
for the draft. making total of 25,-
388 exclusive Of those in the milit-
airy service already.

Bishop Busch, manager Of the st.
Cloud Institute and Diocesan Sc
cretary Upon the request of Father
Jones he was permitted to stay at
Morris until he had finished the
work outlined for him by Father
Jones. During the years he spent
in the ministry at Morris he en-
deared himself by his kindly DISPOSE
ton to the people of Morris. Father
Fearon has always since his child
hood days been very close friend and
during his priestly days has proven
himself a very devoted and loyal
assistant to Father Jones.
Although Father Jones and his
people regret very much the depar-
ture of Father FearOn, they feel
themselves fully compensated by the
appointment of his successor Rev.
Francis Bialka who is also a Min
| nesota boy and we'll qualified to fill
| the position to which he has been
appointed. Father Bialka was ed
ucated at the Seminary of st. Fran
ces, Wisconsin, and at St. Johns I'm
iversity. He was ordained to the
priesthood on the 18th of last June
at st. Johns and served as assistant
at the cathedral of St. Cloud for the
past nine months. He comes to Nor

Suave Stranger Profits
BY Smooth Deals On Farm

Here's a tale OF a "Get-Rich- Quick
Wallingford' victim who DESTROYED
the only evidence which could be used
by the authorities to bring a member
Of the nimble-witted gentry to JUS
tice. It's an old, old story and the
characters in it are sterotyped.
]. {. Willoughby, a Woodworking
farmer living in Thomas county, told
it TO County Attorney Magney.
The farmer one day was an.
preached by an atfable stranger, who
expressed Willingness to buy a piece
OF land. Willoughby's farm, worth
about $1,000, struck the strangers
fancy. He offered to buy it.
Would the farmer take a $500 check
and mortgage on the land for the
iarmi Sure.
So the stranger wrote check for
$500 and gave Willoughhy a mort
gage. receiving in return deed to
the farm.
The farmer didn't record the mort
gage the next day, but he did the
day following Then he found that
the farm had been sold TO another
party. Suspicious, he went to the
bank to cash the check. He was told
It was worthless, Disguised, he tore
it up--the only evidence of the trans.
action.
Now the farm is owned by a third
party and Willoughby hasn't any
thing but a lot OF advice given bv
others not to deal with check.writ.
ing gentlemen In the future.

Damage to State Bridges
Is the Smallest in Years

A stiff northwest wind was the rule
all through Nebraska, according to
morning reports to the railroads.
During the night in the central, east
.ern and southern portions there were
showers and in the west snow fur
ries.
Everywhere along the Nebraska
railroads the high water has subsidized
and about back to normal. Bridges
on the Northwestern, on the branches
north aud west of Norfolk, have been
repaired and trains are again back on
schedules. Taken as whole, the
damage sustained by the railroads by
reason of the spring floods was the
lightest in years.

The Black Woman's Burden.

The African girl is a precocious
child, born to the language Of sex. If
the buyer is old she will hate him.
She need make no secret of this, she
may tell whom she pleases that, hav-
ing "come to her eyes," she hates the
man who buys her. All but her moth.
er will laugh at the venom Of the little
tongue, the heavings Of the little chest.
And the day when her master brings
the ivory, or the woman, or the last
articles Of barter, that day there will
be feast In her fathers town, and
the songs of marriage. If the little girl
weeps-why, so they always do, the
hearts of children are thus. And in
the evening, when the sun goes down
the path to its setting and she moves
away In the caravan Of her husbands
people, you will not ask which of the
children in that caravan is the little
bride; you will know because she
weeps.-Jean Kenyon Mackenzie, in
the Atlantic.
