TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES. .-

Ten million Americans are in
vited to join the American Red
Cross during the week ending
with Christmas eve. The times
require that every branch of Our
great national effort Shall be 10y
ally upheld, and it is particular
ly fitting that at the Christmas
season the Red Cross should be
the branch through which your
willingness to help is expressed.
You should join the American
Red Cross, because it alone can
carry the pledges of Christmas
good will to those who are bear
ing for us the real burdens of the
world war, both in our Army and
Navy, and in the nations upon
whose territory the issues of
the world-war are being fought
out. Your evidence of faith in
this work is necessary for their
heartening and cheer.
You should join the Red Cross
because the army of the national
service is steadily and efficiently
maintaining it's overseas relief
in every suffering land, admin
istering our millions wisely and
we'll and awakening the graft
tude of every people.
Our consciences will not let us
enjoy the Christmas season if
this pledge of support to our
cause and the worlds veal is left
unfulflled. Red Cross member
ship is the Christmas spirit in
terms of action.
(Signed> Woodrod Wilson,
President of the American
Red Cross.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The big game Of the season
will take place next Friday night
IN the high school gym when
Bottineau will demonstrate to
nIinot how basket ball should be
played. Do your two bits and
come out to yell for our boys. If
we lose it will be because Brod
got cold feet.
The Literary program proved
very successful and was attend
ed by a large crowd. We expect
to give another one in the near
future featuring the play "A
Xmas Hat"
Esther Gagnon has again
resumed her studies in the high
school. We are glad to see her
back and hope she will remain
with us. .
The seniors have at last woke
up to the fact that the country is
at war and as they are all good
scrapers they decided to help the
cause along by purchasing a
liberty bond, thus setting the
other classes a good example.
Altho the weather has been
extremely cold of late, the radia-
tors have not been affected in
the least so we have managed to
keep very warm.

The WRONG SYSTEM

The difficulty in the office Of
the Secretary of State reflects
more upon the system of govern
ment than upon the individuals
involved. Without presuming to
Judge where the fault lies as be-
tween individuals, so long as the
state continues to handle large
sums of money in the unbusi-
ness-like manner in which the
motor vehicle statute provides,
just as long there will be trouble
with the careless handling of the
funds. This year, the Secretary
Of State will doubtless collect
somewhere around 100000 of
automobile license fees while
next year the sum will run up
to half a million dollars. In the
very nature of the thing, much
of this money must be kept ly-
ing about the secretary of states
office while the red tape provid-
ed by statute is complied with
as to the licensing of motor We.
hicles. All money should be paid
directly to the state treasurer
that is, the remittances could be
made through the secretary Of
states office but made payable
TO the state treasurer. Some de-
partments in the building handle
remittances in that way at thu
present time. They require al
nnittances to be made in draf'
r money order and make then

MUST COMPLY WITH RULES

DAoAAACA SNS ' Ar DNSs -
order that reglstrants might ex-
ercise their full right in pres
enting claims for deferred CLASH
ficatlon under the new selectIve
service rules, Adjutant General
G.. A. Fraser, emphasizes three
salient features or the new regu-
lations which vitality erect the
standing OF ~registrants in the
draft. Failure to comply with
certain rules, the Adjutant Gen.
eral for North Dakota points
out, constitutes a waiver of all
claims for deferred classifica-
ton, and for this reason he is ex-
tremely anxious that all drafted
men be familiar with these rules.
The three rules which the Ad-
jutant General calls particular
attention to are:
First: Failure to return the
Questionnaires within 7 days
after they have been mailed out
by the Local Board constitute a
waiver of all claims for deferred
classification and the r%egistrant
will automatically be put in the
first class.
Second: All exemptions and
discharges made prior to noon
on December Is, 1917, and all
certificates in evidence thereon
are revoked from and after noon
on December Is, 1917, and all
registrants not already in the
military service will be required
to fill out and return to the Local
Board the Questionnaires and
comply with other rules of the
new draft.
Third: Registrants are bound
by law to keep themselves advis-
ed of all proceedings in receipt
to themselves and failure to do
50 may result in their losing the
right to claim exemption or dis
charge. The repistrants are al
so required to notify their Local
Boards of any change IN abode
or post office address so that the
Questionnaires may be sent to
them without delay.
Local Boards will begin to
send out Ouestionnaires at noon
on December Is. Five per cent
will be sent out on December Is,
and five per cent every succeed
ing day until all reGistrants have
been supplied with copies. These
Questionnaires. the Adjutant
General points out, must be re-
turned to the Local Board with
in seven days from the time they
leave the office of the registrant
will loose all claims to deferred
classification.
"The new selective service
regulations" says Adjutant Cen
eral Fraser, "afford the regis
trant very fair means of obtain
ing deferred classification, pro-
viding the registrant avails him.
self of all opportunities laid
down in the rules. The exercise
of these rights depends entire
ly upon the registrant himself.
If he fails to act promptly or
comply with the rules, it may
result in his losing all rights to
deferred classification.
I would take this opportunity
of calling the attention of rig
istrants to the three rules listed
above, and ENCOURAGE them to
adhere strictly to these rules.
In case of any doubt as to the
Interpretation of any question or

wise of an attorney who will give

THANKSGIVING.

This year we cannot have Jolly
Thanksgiving. We shall sit down at
a more scantily furnished table, and
at table, too, from which we shall
miss one or two young faces-sons
or nephews who are perhaps at a
training camp, perhaps in France
+ Yet to few of us will Thanksgiv-
ing seem meaningless, a day on which
for once we have nothing to be
thankful for. We know that that is
true. We are thankful that by as
much as our Thanksgiving feast is
diminished the cheer of our own and
our allies soldiers is increased. We
Iare thankful for the fat acres and the
rich mines and the broad forests of
our land, which have enabled us to
pour into the distressed countries of
our friends an unprecedented flood
of money and supplies. We are very
glad that God has given us so much
to give to the brave long line of men
who have put their bodies between us
and the maniac nation that threatens
the world.
But there is something much
greater than our ability to be gener-
Gus for which we are thankful. It is
the spirit of the nation. 1t is inflamed
by no jingOism; it talks 40 highfalut-
in talk; it does not boast; it<shows
no unwholesome excitement. After
three years of earnest thought it has
recognized duty and reached de-
cision. Now it is acting as any strong,
honest man will act when any duty,
no matter how hard, confronts him.
Uncle Sam has an air of great resolu-
ton, dignity of bearing, self-pos-
sessed silence, certain sternness of
visage, that make him seem every
inch a man.
We are thankful, too, for our sons.
The moral meanings of the war are
very clear in their youthful hearts.
We all know the young recruit OF
many previous war-a happy
youngster caught by the rattle of the
drums, by the glitter of gold lace,
by the lure of stirring romance. The
recruits of 1917 are not of this kind;
they go willingly and understand
ingly, because they know that other
wise the world will no longer be a
place in which free men can live.
They have the patriotism, not of
boys, but of men.
These things uplift our hearts,
Youth Companion.
