HOME. GUARDS
HOLD DRILL

The Home Guards are greatly pleas
ed over the interest being shown in
their organization. Starting with but
a few members they are fast adding
recruits to the ranks. They hold drills
Tuesday and Friday mornings Of each
week, and We are informed that at
Tuesdays drill there were 40 men in
the ranks, with Is absent. This is a
big increase over the drill held the
preceding Friday and it is hoped and
expected that the membership will in
crease to at least 100 members. They
hold drills across the tracks from the
Great Northern depot; where, under
the leadership Of Tbs. Lonnevick, Ed.
Elliott and Mr.. Miller, the boys are
put through the various formations.
These three drili masters have all had
military experience and are fast
rounding the boys into shape. This is
of great benefit to all from a physical
standpoint, and especially so to those
who can reasonably expect to be calico
to active services in the near future,
as the training they receive here is
exactly what they will have to go thru
in the regular army, and with a few
months with the Home Guards he will
not be "raw" recruit when called to
services.

A United States recruiting officer,
who spent a few days in the city the
past week, in an interview with one of
the. staff q this paper, throws light
on the question Of enlistments in the
army. ;it has: been generally believed
since registration day that no yolun-
teers will be received. According to
thS officers statement this is in error
q all the recruiting officers have re-
teived orders to accept all applicants.
Ihs government really deaires vslul-
teer enlistments in preference to con-
scriptions. Those Of the unmarried
men who have registered and know
themselves to be*of the average physi-
cal strength, have every reason in the
world to believe that they will be
called in the first contingent. While
there is no dishonor attached to being
called to the colors, it. seems that a
good deal of preference is going to be
shown to the man who voluntarily en-
lists, one reason being that he will be
trained and promoted as rapidly as he
is capable of handling his promotions,
while the conscript will not at that
time have been called to the colors.

TO WITHHOLD THE
NAMES OF GAME AND
FISH DEPUTIES

Steele, N. D., June 19.-All North
Dakota, which has been anxiously
awaiting announcement of the names
of the new district deputy game war
dens is not to have it's curiosity salts
fled, announced George M. Hogue, Sec
retary of the North Dakota game COM
mission today.
"The commission intends to try a
little secrecy in connection with it's
deputy SERVICE" said Mr.. Hogue. eve
have followed the plan of giving pub
licity to our appointments for num-
ber of years, and we have found that
it makes it embarrassing for the de-
putty.
"Now no one needs to know who the
deputy is until there crops out some
case in which it is necessary for him
to appear as a witness. We believe
the very doubt as to the identity of
the warden will cause prospective
game violaters to hesitate, for fear
that one Of their party might be the
deputy"
New deputies We're named few
days ago at meeting of the board at
New Rockford.

Plans are being wUlrlked out by the
railway companies % dispense with
numerous passenger trains TO- enable
the roads to carly troops and supplies
for the war. Within q short time It
is said that the public will have to put
up with whatever service it can get.
Roads will run no more trains than
necessary to carry traffic. Obse1va-
tion and tourist cars are. to be cut off,
according to reports. Mail trains 81
and % are to carry passengers. The
running time between st. Paul and
Seattle is to be cut down twelve hours.
Railroads figure that the 31S trains in
and >out Of st. Paul daily can be cut
down by SO without disturbing the
public. No sleepers are to be provid-
ed for soldiers or officers. During
these strenuous war times, no one
should complain if some of the lux
uries have to be given up.

NORTH DAKOTA FELL
$4,000 SHORT OF MARK

Bismarck, N. D., June 15.-North
Dakota's registration total, completed
by reports from Stark county went
seven names over Adjutant General
Thoralson's final estimate Of 5000,
and fell $4,000 short Of the federal
census estimate. The discrepancy is
accounted for in part by the fact that
5000 men are enlisted in the federal
service. Probably . Thousand. more
national guardsmen have taken the
federal oath, exempting them from
registration. There are $1,000 citi-
zens and friendly aliens 50, negroes
7,O25, and 6l5 alien enemies. Exemp-
tions are cited by $4,000 citizens and
friendly aliens and q, 100 note none.

WILSON TWILL INSIST
UPON FOOD CONTROL

Washington, June 12.-President
Wilson and the cabinet in brief ses-
sion today discussed the need for
speedy action by congress on food con-
troll legislation and the president de-
cided to bring strong pressure to bear
to put the measure thru as quickly as
possible. It is not probable that he
will make special address to con-
gress, but is expected to confer with

RED CROSS HAD
GOOD MEETING

A rather small crowd turned out to
the Patriotic meeting last Sunday ev-
ening, due no doubt to the fact that
the day was extremely warm an,
nearly all of the city residents were at
Chautauqua. However, what was
lacking in numbers was more than off
set by the enthusiasm displayed by
those present. "A fine program was
rendered and several able addresses
were made by local men. It was
pointed out that it was necessary to
give literally to the Red Cross work
in order that the boys who 60 to the
front to fight will be we'll taken care
of when sick or disabled. Those who
remain at home have this way Of do
ing their bit. In these addresses many
incidents were cited regarding condi-
tions that have existed in the past
where wounded have not had proper
care, where the want of hospital COM
forts had cost many lives.
This week the drive to raise RAM
sey county's share of the 100000
600 which President Wilson has asked
for. The share for this county is
approximately $4,000, which will be
divided among the different Chapters.
Those who have been appointed as a
committee to raise the amount are
working hard, and it is predicted that
the full amount will be raised.
It is interesting to knew just what the
Red Cross have accomplished so far
this spring. A lot Of effort has been
put forth, and surely the results as
set forth in the following report of
E. E. Mann, secretary, are gratifying:
This report has no connection with
the drive this week, neither does it in
clude subscriptions made, but not yet
in the hands of the treasurer. The
report shows. that Ramsey county has
1,645 members; $5,429.7s has been
subscribed and $1,8o2 has been sent to

BIG B SUCCESS: [ ] !: | ! )

The second day Of the Red Cross
drive terminated last night. The COM
1nittees have been hard at work among
the citizens who as rule are giving
literally to the cause, but there are
l1ianywho are in a condition to give
and who were expected to who have
not vet showed that they believed in
helping this cause. This is to be re-
GREETED for the reason that much of
the suffering now endured on th field
Of battle can be- greatly lessened If the
plans Of the RED Cross can be carried
ont. Many Of the young men in this
locality as well as others will soon be
serving their country and II Ii nothing
short 81 selfishness and disloyalty that
keeps those from giving who are in a
position to do so. It is understood
that the list Of all those who give will
be.published at the termination Of the
campaign and no doubt those who
have not given to date will do SO be
fore that time.
The list Of the captains Of the diff
ferent committees is given below with

FOR. A
COUNTY AGENT
FORMULATED.

The propositions of having. a county
agent is again being talked and is re-
ceving a lot of support. This is step
in the right direction as the localities
that have an agent to assist the farm
er with his problems have found it
pays and the agent is retained year
after year.
The county agent is of great help
to the farmer because he has studied
the farmers problems from scien-
tific standpoint. Through their efforts
the amount and quality of the live
stock is increased; pure bred sires are
brought into the neighborhood and
breeding associations formed: animal
disease are curtajled; definite rotation
of crops are planned; established
methods of cultivation are establish
ed; new crops adopted to the locality
such as clover and alfalfa are intro
duced with their methods Of cultiva-
ton; the use of manure and the con-
troll of plant disease are all discussed,
securing better markets and distribu-
tion by organizing livestock shipping
associations, organizing cooperative
elevators, introducing system of ac-
counting for farmers elevators, stand
ardizating crops, organizing potato
shipping associations, cooperative
buying of field Seeds, arranging for
marketing Of minor products; organ
izing federal loan associations; organ
izing formers clubs; conducting far
mers' meetings; farm accounting; ro-
dent control; planning farm buildings
organizing boys and girls clubs.
An enthusiastic number of boost
ers gathered here on Monday to talk
the matter over. The plans were gone

whether they De Republican, Demo-

SMOKE MORE AND EAT LESS
Latest Advice Given to British People
In the Food Shortage
Situation,

London.-"Smoke more and eat
less!
This Is the latest advice given to
the British people in the food short
age situation. 1t comes from Sir John
Rees, who says:
1T is to be hoped that the increased
tobacco duty will not reduce the guam
tity. The less people smoke the more
they are liable to eat. 1t is well known
that the grossest eaters are non-drink-
ers and non-smokers."
This advice refers to women as
well as men, for the smoking habit
has spread widely among women since
the war started. Formerly women
smoked only in their homes or in res
taurants. Now they can be seen in
the streets and in factories putting
away at pipes!s mild cigars or ciga-
rettes.
Arrests Of women for smoking in
munition factories became so COM
mon that the magistrates had to i'm
pose severe penalties to break 1t up.
