May Create New Divisions.

Under the increased army plan a great
number of new divisions may be created
With authority now asked for unlimited
power to create fighting units, some of
the men of the May draft may be as
signed to these new organizations.
1t is regarded as likely, however, that
the April and May drafts will be used
largely to fill up divisions at home while
the seasoned personnel from those divi-
sions is sent overseas to fill the gaps.

Regular Trips This Summer.

Captain Guleke is arranging to have
boats regularly setting out just as fire.

use. An order now awaiting him is TO
take down materials for a new bridge
over the south fork of the Salmon
river, besides great amount of other

forty-nine well-fixed bachelors down the

Story of Guleke's Voyage.

A copy of the Salmon Recorder of re-
cent date contains the following account
of the voyage by Captain Guleke:
"The boating business down the Sal
mon river from this city began with
the first trip two weeks ago. Captain
Guleke had as passengers John Cunning
ham as far at Butt s bar and A. w. pope
all the way through to Lewiston. These
latter returned to Salmon by Wednes-
days train and reported their trip as
entirely without mishap The main
part of the load taken down on the first
trip was for the Bancroft mine in the
Buffalo Hump country, five miles up
crooked creek. This was the first
voyage ever undertaken by Mr.. Popp
all the way through. And yet untii
lately when he sold it he had a rich
and productive farm on the way down
sixty miles form Salmon. Perhaps he
has his eye on another farm further

The call for $4,000 men during May
goes to all states except California
Oregon and Nevada which, with the
District of Columbia, have supplied sc
large part of their quotas that it was
decided not to include them this time
The movement in most states will begin
May 20 and will be completed in five
days.
BY this order the war department
abondons the plans of assembling men in
even monthly increments of approx.
mately 100000. The call for 100000 in
April and $4,000 this month will bring
out in two months half of the number
originally contemplated for the year.
Officials at Washington made it clear
that it is now the purpose to mobolize
all the men for whom equipment and
training facilities can be provided.
q" Let us avoid specific figures Sec
tetary Baker said. "They imply limits
There is no limit. We will call enough
men to make victory certain. We will
all them out as rapidly as they can be
rained and sent forward"

May Built More cantonments.

In preparation for this tremendon.
increase in the army every existing can
torment in the country will be enlarged
and every national guard camp utilized
to its full capacity. 1t is regarded as
probable that some new environments
may be built Ground already has been
obtained in the vicinity of several can
tonments for expansion
The May draft allotments were made
on the population basis heretofore used
but subsequent distribution of quotas
will be much altered when the number
of men furnished by any state is com
puted from the number in Glass l.
The men called out this month will
be modified generally at the canton
ments to which men from the same
states have previously been sent. Some
Of the camps will have been converted
INTO replacement divisions, for the new
men will be redistributed in accordance
With their qualifications.

EVERYTHING READY FOR

Superintendent Cummings Announces Several
Changes in the School Program--PupilS are
Urged to Enter First Week.

Of music, home economies. manual
arts and agriculture done under prop
er supervision may be extended by
applying to the superintendent.
This. year all junior high school
pupils will be required to purchase
their books and other supplies. This
applies to the 7th and Sth grades az
well as to the eth grade. Besides
the regular shop and laboratory fees
each pupil must make a Library
deposit OF 81 which will be returned
to him at the close OF school IL NO
fines have been imposed. All books
and supplies will be sold for cash.
No credit viii be extended at all.
Laboratory and shop fees must be
paid at the time Of registration.
On account of war conditions
there will be no Christmas vacation
this year except the two days Of
Christmas and New Years. This win
enable school to close two weeks
earlier in the spring.
All pupils win be required to reg
lister for Red Cross work. This will
come twice a week and proportion
ate credit will be given. We feel 1t
our patriotic duty to do all we can
in this respect.
We now make an appeal TO the
young manhood and womaRhood Of
Bear Lake county to attend school
this winter. Never before in the his
tory of our country has It been 30
necessary for you to do 80 both for
your own and your country's sake.
Do not let high salaries and high
wages lure you away. Prepare your

Now Uncle Sam Ia calling louder

The Montpelier public schools be-
gin Monday, September 9Th at 8
o'clock and the following changes
in policy will be in effect:
Children who are six years of age
on or before September 18th, 1918,
will be permitted to enter the first
grade. Those becoming six years OF
age after that date must wait until
January 18th to enter. On January
18th all children who have done salts
factory work will be promoted half q
grade. This will affect all grades
from the first to the eighth. Provis-
ion is made for eighth grade gradu-
ates to register for high school work
at the mid-year.
The school day will be somewhat
longer than 1t was last year School
will begin at 8 o'clock and continue
until 4:30 with recess of an hour
and a half for lunch. In the high
school building the periods will be
one hour in length. A portion Of
each period will be devoted to 'su-
pervised" study.
The music period for all pupils, in
Guiding hte sth grade and above,
will come three days a week at ~
o'clock and last for As minutes. This
will give the pupils registering for
music but As minutes for their lunch,
and will necessitate many Of them
bringing their lunch to school. For
this reason, If 1t meets with the ap-
proval OF all concerned, hot soup or
something of the kind will be served
In the Domestic Science Department
at n nominal fee. The music depart
ment is great source of life for the
school and gives the pupils develop
ment they can obtain in no other
way. WIN the parents do all they
can to encourage their children to
register in this department?
A change has also been made in
the matter of extending credit to stu
dents. This year students may enter
at any time as usual but they will re-
ceive credit for just the number OF
days they have actually been in
school and taken part in the recita-
tion. II a student is out q day he
misses that much credit. Those who
wish It may apply to the principal
for permit to make up work missed
by absence or by entering late. Such
work must be made up under the d.
rect supervision OF the instructor
and must be done a day at a time.
For example. II student enters two
weeks late he will not be allowed to
make mp that whole amount at one
time but must make 1t up in ten sep
erate amounts, one for each day. In
this way he will be able to get more
out OF II and II will be a means OF
meteing out justice and equity to all.
It is entirely unfair to extend the
same credit to students entering a
month or two late as those attend
ing regularly from the first day.
Credit for home" work i'm the lineH

No industry win profit more by the

From spark-plugs to tires the war
has made greater efficiency necessary
and the Developments In this trade are
amazing. We all know how the great
transportation problem was solved by
the motortruc1, how even the British
troops were carried in the London pas

bases al the front. The United States
is now sending thousands Oh trucks

Driver Problem Overcome.
The Red Cross has in operation
throughout France and Italy, thousands
Of trucks and lighter automobiles
early in the war the problem of get
ting competent drivers and good me-
clianics was quite an obstacle. The
Red Cross has overcome this problem
by establishing permanent training
camp in this country, known as Camp
Scott, at Sxtieth and Cottage Grove
avenue, Chicago, under my direction.
Owing to the urgent demand overseas
for capable drivers and expert me-
chanics, very rigid and intensive
course of four weeks is given the en-
listed men in this camp.
Spacious grounds surround the
camp. and abundance OF machines are
in their yards and complete shops are
al their disposal. First of all, the en-
listed man is taught the function OF
