ANOTHER CALL
May CONE soon
Government Checking Up on
Number of Class One Men
in Nation.
VALLEY COUNTY REPORT NOW 7SS
Many Volunteer Enlistments Cats
Down Number of Men in First Class.
Seventy-four Registered Men
Have Enlisted.

The Valley county local board re-
ceived telegram yesterday morning
from the war department calling for
a complete list of the number of men
already classified; and the number of
men classified who are in class one.
A report was Immediately wired in
showing that Valley county now has
945 men in class one, of which Ill are
physically deficient and two have
claims pending before the district
board. This leaves the county with
75S class one men subject to call at
this time.
Since December 18th, or the last
draft call, seventy-four men who were
in the draft list, have enlisted at this
station.
The reason for the request for this
report has not been given out but it is
presumed that the data is being gath
cred preparatory to re-arranging the
quotas of the different districts under
the new plan of Provost Marshal
Crowder, which calls for the appor-
tioning of the quotas according to the
number of class one men in a district
instead of the population as has been
the rule heretofore. The new plan is
meeting with some little opposition
in congress, but it is thought that the
bill will pass and become law with
in a very few days.

MALTA BOY A SUICIDE.

The body of Carl J. Candahl of
Grieve, Mont, who left Malta with
the second contingent of the draft
last fall, was found short distance
from Camp Lewis with his throat
slashed by a razor. Sandahl had re-
Gently been a patient in the pscho-
pathic ward of the base hospital un-
der treatment for nervous disorders
and upon his release from the hospi-
tai had been discharged as unfit for
military service. He was last seen
leaving the hospital with his personal
belongings and his discharge papers.
Shortly after his body was found in
an isolated spot not far from the hos
pital. A special board is iinvestigat-
ing Sandahl's case although it is be-
lieved that the cause of his suicide
was dependency over his rejection
from the service.

SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE
TAKING FARM SURVEY

TAKING FARM SURVEY
The school children are engaged this
week in taking a census Of the farm
labor needs and resources of the
county. 1t was planned to take this
survey during February, but because
of a delay in receiving the blanks to
be used, this work is being done now.
This is war measure planned by
the United States department of agri-
culture, and the information obtained
is to be used expressly in dealing with
the important problem of increased
production Of farm products, which is
a matter of vital Importance at this
time.
1t is very necessary that each per-
son in charge of farm visited, assist
in every way possible the pupil who is
making out the schedule. The infor-
nation asked for will be considered
strictly confidential, and is to be used
only by the state and federal officials
who are anxious to help solve two
problems: the labor problem and the
problem of raising more food.

THIRD LIBERTY
LOAN UNDER Way
Sidney J.. Rumble Appointed
County Chairman for
Valley County.
EACH NAN MUST DO HIS SHARE
Valley County Portion of Next Loan
$4,000. Committees Appoint.
ed Today for Outlying
Districts.

The third Liberty Loan campaign
will be launched in this county with a
vengeance on Saturday, April 6.
Sidney j. Rumble of the Rumble Land
& Abstract company, received his ap-
pointment this week as county chair
man for the new loan and is already
hard at work on plans to make the
campaign in this county tremendous
success.
The Importance of the success of
the next loan cannot be over estimat-
ed.
The downfall of Russia must be
taken as an enormous extension of the
power of Germany. The war is not
only to be prolonged, it is to be made
more prodigious than ever. All scales
of values in military affairs must
again be discarded for new ones. All
estimates of loans and credits must be
once more expanded. The burden
which wealth must bear will be in
creased on a scale commensurate with
the new territory acquired by the
kaiser.
The time is sure to come when there
will be conscription of incomes just
as there is conscription of human
flesh and human skill, and in the mean
time we should count ourselves for
tunate in that our government is will
ing to pay US fair rate of interest for
voluntary loan. The least we can
do is to take up these bonds as fast
as they are offered, thus showing that
we are not waiting for chance to
take advantage of the nations great
er need.
In the loan each man in each city in
each county will be expected to do
his share. An estimate will be made
for each individual and he will be
asked to purchase his quota.
Chairman Rumble has called meet
ing at his office today at which time
committees for the different district
over the county will be appointed and
plans outlined for the campaign.

From Coming in by
Bad Roads.

While large percentage of the
fire arms in this county had been reg

farmers throughout the county who
have failed to declare their weapons.
In some cases they were prevented

of every kind should make it point

istering has expired, who has not dis

No Definite Plans for Ap- -
pOrtiOnment of Funds.

A letter to L. E. Jones from Senator
Hurd, who is now at Helena in the
interests of the farmers of Valley
county, advises that as yet, nothing
definite has been done regarding the
apportionment of the $500,OOO fund
that was appropriated for defense
council purposes.
Valley county has asked for $780,
900 to purchase seed grain, but it
appears that it will be impossible to
get any thing like that amount.

L. Sherman, Otto M. Christianson and
Peter Peterson will be advised as soon
as definite action is taken.

RED CROSS Pig BRINGS
LOCAL CHAPTER $500
Auction Sale at Orpheum Nets
Red Cross Neat Sum. Bidding
is Lively, So Was the Pig.

A lively auction sale took place be-
tween acts at the Orpheum theatre
on Wednesday evening, when a live
I pig and a rooster were sold and re-
sold as a Red Cross benefit. Six boz
scouts saw to it that the pig remained
in full view on the platform, and the
rooster advanced no further than the
length of a cord tied round one leg
would permit, while the bidding pro.
ceeded.
The pig which was donated by S.
Drabbs of Hinsdale, was sold eighteen
times, bringing the splendid sum of
T$97.00. 1t was finally bought by Mrs.
Leo Coleman for the Red Cross, and
will be sent up to Opheim to be sold
by the auxiliary at that place.
The rooster which was donated by
w. ]. Griffith, was sold a number of
times, and when all the collections
are in, will bring about $3.50. The
final purchaser was Mr.. Westberg, and
Mr. Slattery very kindly bought it of
him for the Red Cross for $3.50, Mr..
Westberg donating $1.0O of the money.
So the rooster will make the trip to
Opheim with the pig. Miss Belle
Grossman volunteering to see that
they arrived safely at their destina-
tion.
A croqueted lace door panel was
then offered for sale but owing to
some confusion the sale was not satis-
factory and we are unable to state
just what this fine piece. of work
brought. 1t was donated by Mrs. He'd
don, mother of Mrs. S. J. Rumble.
Dan Mckay and ID. McCorkle were
the proficient auctioneers on this
occasion.
The ladies of the Red Cross wish to
extend vote of thanks to Mr.. r. Rob-
bins, who so kindly donated the use
of the theatre at this time, and es-
pecially to S. Drabbs and Mr.. Grif-
fifth for their donations.
Much Of the success of the auction
was due to the efforts and energy Of
Mrs. ]. E. Flaherty, who planned the
sale and made the necessary arrange
ments for its being held.

HOSPITAL unit
READY TO GO
DR.. M. d. Hoyt Writes from Phil
adelphia About Base Hos
pital Unit 80.
SPLENDID EQUIPMENT IS FURNISHED

short notice at any time and while he
does not say so in his letter, it is gen.
orally thought that the unit will leave
for the front within a very short time.
The clipping which outlines the hos
'pital equipment follows:
When base No. 80 is in operation it
will have facilities for handling a
greater number of patients daily than
any hospital now existing in Phila-
delphia with the exception of Block

fact in order that visual conception
of the magnitude of our hospital sup
plies can be obtained. Everything
from surgical needles to a telephone
system we must take across with us
for cover there"
Five hundred completely equipped
beds form the backbone of the hospi-
tai. Some will be provided with mos,

will be provided with knock down
