The National Army. in which you
are 10 take your place, truly expresses
the American character and ideals. 1t
is q great democratic army. 1t in
cludes men of all degrees of wealth
ant education, chosen through fair
and open selection by lot. All are
hruagnt together on terms OF equality.
Where has been and there will be in
this great National Army no favoritism
and no pull" The poor man will
drill side by side with the man who
has been raised in luxury. Each will
learn from the other. The place each
IMAM makes for himself will be determ-
lined by his own work and ability
Developing SoIdierly Qualities
The question as to whether it is
better to join the colors now or with
later contingent is not worth argu-
any, since the decision has been made
For each man by lot An ambitious
maD, however, will be glad to join
now. 1t gives him better chance for
promotion. The commissioned offic-
men who have voluntarily gone
through the hardest kind of training i
The officers of later contingents will
be drawn largely from the men enlist
ed in the first contingents. There is |
plenty of opportunity here for every /
man to use his brains and his energy
and to earn promotion according to
his worth. This does not mean easy
or quick advancement 1t means only
that you will have your fair chance
and you would ask for nothing more
10 develop yourself and to climb up
ward step by step.
in order to make good in the Ma
tional Army you must first of all, fit
yourself to carry with credit the sim
pie title of American Citizen-Soldier"
~-one Of the proudest titles in the
world. This means that you must de-
'velop in yourself the qualities of a
soldier. The more quickly and
thoroughly you cultivate them, the
greater will be your satisfaction and
success. I
There is very little real difference t
OF opinion as to soldierly qualities. {

F1Ome-Reading Course
For Citizen Soldiers

SOldler even through he ludy tempo
rarily wear uniform. They are:
Loyalty,
Obedience,
Physical Fitness.
man without these qualities is in
the way and is a source of weakness
to an army, both in the camp and on
the field of battle.
The Articles of War of the United
States set forth the military crimes
which are punishable by heavy penal
ties Among these crimes are deser-
ton, cowardice, INSTRUMENTATION, drum
kenness while on duty, sleeping while
on duty as a sentinel, disclosing the
watchword and giving aid or comfort
YOU will see that every one of these
military crimes can result only from
the absence of one or more of the three
basic qualities of soldier.
Loyalty
A soldiers loyalty governs. first of
all, his feelings and actions toward
his country, his government and his
flag. There can be no such thing as
halfway loyalty. The slightest COM
promise opens the door to treason
But a soldiers loyalty does not stop
mere. 1t governs also his feelings and
actions toward the army and toward
Ill the officers under whom he serves.
It absolutely forbids disobedience
among both officers and enlisted men,
,r disrespect toward those in author
ty.
Going a step farther, loyalty gov
rms also the soldiers feelings and
lotions toward his own regiment, hir
,wn company and his own squad. !
Without this form of loyalty there can
'e no real comradeship; without it /,
ou will never feel that personal pride |
nd satisfaction in the service which !
hould mean so much in your army |
ife.
Obedience
The second of the soldiers basic
ipline. Without obedience and dis
ipline an army can not long continue
} exist; it will quickly degenerate in 1
} an armed mob. AS the Infantry
'rill Regulations put it, discipline is
the distinguishing mark of trained
oops
Frequently the recruit, with his in
orn dislike of being bossed, makes
ne mistake during his first few weeks
/ the army of resenting the fact that
Immediate and unquestioning obedi-
nee is required of him. He quickly
earns, however, that obedience en-
breed throughout the army is in all
tuations the chief safeguard of the
ghts, the comfort and the safety of
very man, from the raw recruit to the
general. 1t is a guaran-
e that the small number of unruly
coWardly men to be found in every
CUP shall be kept in check and fore

nal. Obedience is required not 7

Cass Auditor
Feels Burden of
Exemption Work

County Auditor w. r. Tucker look
ed at a stack Of mail several feet
high when he entered the office this
morning, glanced at athe thermome-
ter, picked up his letter knife and
was soon buried almost from sight
by the flood of exemption applica-
tlons.
The Cass county auditor upon
whom the bulk of the work in connec-
ton with the draft has fallen. has not
lost any flesh but has grown a Santa
Claus beard. The draft work has al
so worked another change on the Of
ficer. His voice is not as mild as
formerly, but is very gruff and
stormy.
According to the members of the
office force. there is only one tonic
for the auditor and that is boat and
a fishing reel. 1t has never failed vet
and is being recommended to him
for ten days at least.
Commencing Tuesday morning OF
next week the board will act on ex-
emption claims and make classical
tions. On the following day a spec
ial meeting of the draft examination
board will be held for the purpose OF
examining registrants who were I'M
able to be present because Of sick
ness. At that time outsiders will al
so be privileged to be examined.
A number of young men before the
board the first of the week were told
to report within a few days. These
cases will also be taken up at the
meeting Wednesday.

TO LAUNCH RED
CROSS CANVASS
Miss Ethel Stanford, State
Chairman, Preparing
Thorough Campaign

Miss Ethel Stanford, of Fargo.
state chairman of the Red Cross
Nurses service, is preparing to launch
canvass of North Dakota for re-
cruits in the Red Cross service. The
preparations are not yet complete, but
those nurses who have already afdli-
ated themselves with the Red Cross,
and who are thereby eligible for war
service, have for the past few weeks
been interesting themselves in secur-
ing recruits to their ranks.
There are at present forty-seven
enrolled Red Cross nurses in North
Dakota. OF that number the follow
ing members of the Fargo unit, head
ed by Miss Stanford, have already re-
ceived from Washington, d. c., the
o. k. of their physical examinations,
and have taken the typhoid immunity
treatment required: Miss Stanford,
Fargo; Miss Frances Riordan, Devils
Lake; Miss Amelia Koenig, Bismarck
Miss Victoria Lindor, Bismarck; Miss
Ada Langley, jamestown.
Other Red Cross nurses of this city,
who will probably be members of the
Fargo unit, include Miss Mabel Olson,
who has not yet received the physical
examination o. k. from Washington,
and Miss Sondrine Norgaard, also of
Fargo. Miss Mabel Farr, Miss Norma
Diesem, and Mrs. Gudrum Bondahl,
the latter superintendent of st. Luke s
hospital, will not enter the war serv-
ice. The plans of Mrs. Angela Green
Boleyn, and Miss Marie Stenseth, also
of Fargo, who are affiliated with Red
Cross, are indefinite.
The Fargo Red Cross unit will
serve in the naval reserve corps, but
nothing is known SO far as regards
possible orders further than that fact.
There are at present 500 professioh-
al nurses in North Dakota, and 1t Is
hoped to recruit large proportion OF
that number for the Red Cross.

LANCER ISSUES
HIS RULING ON
NEAR BEERS
May Not Contain More
Than Two-tenths of One
Per Cent Alcohol
TO FILE BOND
Believed That Most of Bev.
erages Formerly Sold
Will Pass Test

"Nearbeers" may be legally sold in
North Dakota, providing they pass
the test prescribed by DR.. E. F. Ladd
and providing the manufacturers file
a $4,000 bond to protect the retail
dealers against consignments that do
not pass this test.
DR.. Ladd stated that anything less
than two tenths Of one per cent of
alcohol was not sufficient for any
chemist to testify positively as to the
presence of any alcohol whatever. In
other words two-tenths of one per
cent was the minimum of "discov-
cradle trace. Acting on this ruling
Attorney General William LANCER
this afternoon telegraphed to the Of
flee of the states attorney of Cass
county that beverages which comply
with these requirements may be sold.
1t is claimed that none Of the re-
sponsible companies have put out
beverages claimed to be n-intox-
icating, which contain more than
two-tenths of one per cent Of alcohol
and that virtually all of them will
pass the chemical test. The manu-
facturers are expected to immediat-
ely file bonds. Four have done so al
ready. and the beverages that may be
legally sold are Malta, "Barma"
"Non-tox and Rex Nutrio".

"Y" War Work

North Dakota is asked to sub
scribe an additional $4,000 to the
International Y. NJ. C. A. War Work
fund.
Local campaigns will be put on in
35 to 40 North Dakota towns, which

advising that the amount needed for
the first year of the war had been
increased from 100000 to $S,000,-

WATER SUPPLY
LOOMING UP AS
CITY PROBLEM
Jordan Declares City Is
Unable to Meet Any
Sudden Emergency
FAVOR STATIC
PRESSURE SYSTEM
Consumers Warned Short
Time Ago "To Slow
Down." He Says

That the problem of Fargo's water
nupply is soon to be brought before
he city commission and the citizens
OF Fargo. is shown in a statement
credited to J. J. Jordan, health and
finance commissioner.
n THE fact has been demonstrated,
curing the heated term, this year,
Ghat Fargo's water supply Is wholly
Inadequate to cope with an emerg-
ency such as arose recently when the
commissioner of water works found
u advisable to appeal to the water
fising public to regulate the use Of
water for sprinkling purposes in ac-
eordance with the schedule suggest
"a by his department" says J. j.
Jordan today in his paper, The
Blade.
ut is a notorious fact" he con-
4inues that there has been lack of
pressure to scope with serious fires
On various and continued periods
curing the last two or three years
Al an emergency had arisen. This
Condition should not be allowed to
continue. The cause for the condi-
Aion is due to lack of pressure at the
Consumers end Of the mains"
Water Tower Needed.
= Commissioner Jordan calls the at
tention of the citizens of the city to
the fact that the lack Of pressure Is
admittedly the inability Of the pumps
to render more service than they do
being practically up to capacity of
the occasion when the public was
asked to SLOW down" in the use of
water. He recommended that the
only logical solution is the installa-
Ition of a static pressure system-a
water tower at a sufficient altitude
TO maintain a flow of water to the
top of the highest buildings in the
city. This system, he says, would
require no pumps in addition to
those which the city already has
and they would not be so frequently
put to severe test as under the direct
pressure system.
THE milkman's excuse that the
COWS don't give enough milk Is
.pardonable,' says the commissioner
of finance. "but the city should not
be finding itself hiding behind a
similar excuse for not being able to
supply patrons with water for which
they are willing to pay"

The Potato Como. BACK.

Washington. D. c.. Aug. 1s.-The
huge potato crop which the federal
forecast indicates will be produced
in the United States this year means
that this important food staple will
be cheaper. and makes it possible,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. for American families
that have to cut down on potato
consumption because of high prices
to restore the tuber to a prominent
place on their bill of fare.
The department forecast, based on
reliable estimates from all parts of
the country, places the total potato
yield at more than 467,000,000 bush
els as compared with 2S5, 100000 mil
lion in 1916 and $50, 100000 in 1915.
Potatoes of the current season are
already in the market in large
quantities, and, since the early harv-
ested tubers can not be kept easily,
should be eaten more abundantly
now IL spoilage Is to be avoided.
Next to the breadstuffs, potatoes
are the most important food crop of
the western nations, the department
points out. They are all the more
important now that the world
wheat supply is short, since they fur
nish starch, the principal food ele-
ment contributed by bread, and so
may be substituted in part for bread.
1t is no hardship to Americans,
