CONWAY SAID TO
Be IN LOVE

John Conway. the poet, who some
time ago wrote poem in the hopes
that same would get him a wife.
and which did not accomplish it's
purpose although it was published
in The Tribune at the time it was
written, is again in the limelight.
Johns many friends were of the
opinion that the poem was written
as a joke when same was published,
but they are now convinced that
John really means business, in spite
of his age. 1t was only one day
last week that Mr.. Conway went
considerably out of his road in Or
der to pass certain schoolhouse at
just few minutes after four
o'clock, and Of course it just hap
pened that he was going in the
same direction in which the school
ma'am was going to her boarding
place, and of course John in polite
way offered her a ride and she of
course accepted. Johns horse Is
not one that can be considered very
fast, but that suited the poet all the
more, and those who saw him state
that they do not believe he ever
spent more enjoyable hour in his
life. While we do not believe that
John Is what person would call in
love- Just yet, we do believe that he
Is little inclined that way. While
IN the city last Saturday he wouldn't
admit that he was in love, but we
could plainly see that he was in a
happier mood than we ever saw him
before. There are several differ
ent ways of making a man happy,
and it was easy to guess what had
made John happy. For the in
formation of Johns many friends
We will state that he really Is look
ing for wife, that the school
ma'am above mentioned is just the
kind of lady that would fill all the
vacant places in his heart, and that
we might expect him to pass the
same school house at just about
-FOUR O'Clock pretty often in the fu-
ture We can also assure our
readers that If John. can procure a
horse that will travel at lower
rate of speed John would be willing
to dicker for such an animal.

ASSAULT CHARGED

, Mandan, N. D., April 25.-O. w.
Olson, living near Brein, swore to a
warrant yesterday for the arrest of
Dominick and Stephen Gerhart
charging them with assault and
battery. Olson said he was driv-
ing by the Gerhart place when a
vicious dog ran out and frightened
mis- team so badly it ran away.
When he finally got the animals
under control, he went to the
house and told the Gerharts about
tho dog. Tho answer, he charges,
was that Dominick and Gerhart
pounced on him.

DRAG THE ROADS

The graded road can be kept In
the best condition with the least
labor by using the road drag. The
road drag scrapes off the prOjec-
tions and fills up the low places thus
leaving no places for water to stand
which is what causes the road bed
to soften and be cut into ruts. A,
persistent use of the road drag will
keep the road bed we'll crowned.
smooth and hard and this will also
result in the least dust, as the dust
comes largely from the grinding up
Of the ruts and rough places left by
the horses feet. Extension DIV,

Harvey Kepler of the Northwest
Power Co., Manager Hustis Of the
Kenmare and Bowbells electric light
plants, and A. NUM-, who has just
recently opened an. electrical equip
ment shop at Kenmare to supply
both. Bowbells and the Goose Neck
town, were in Bowbells on Tuesday
of this week looking over. the local
plant. The. local plant has been
giving good service since last fall
and we haven't heard any complaint
since that time in regard to the
amount of current on the lines!
Mr.. Kepler is the same gentleman:
who was here last fall endeavOrtng,
to sell our people stock in the COM
pany. His proposition at that time
was that II the people Of Bowbellsi
wanted the local system connected
with the Kenmare plant 1t would h.
necessary for US to buy at leaAt
$4,000 worth of stock in his COM
pany. It is needless to say that no
stock was bought at that time.
When asked about the proposed
pole line between here and the KEN
mare plant now, Mr.. Kepler said
that the company was in about the
same condition now as 1t was last;
fall, and that while arrangements
were being made to build the line.:
it could not be done until the peo-.
pie of Bowbells came through.

Reports coming in from all parts
Of the county indicate that the win
ter rye crop has come out in fine
shape, and that if the weather re-
mains favorable from now on this
grain will be one of the most pro-
fitable crops raised in Burke coun-
t. this year. All winter rye seeded
during September and the fore part
of October is growing fine, and
probably more of this grain was
seeded here. last fall than during
any other year in the history OF the
county. Many farmers put in prac-
tically all Of their acreage into this
grain. A number of farmers also
put in some rye during November,
after the first heavy fall of snow,
but this in almost a1l cases has
proved. to be a failure, The grain
sprcuted and went into the winter
with sprouts about a half an inch
long. When the ground thawed
out this spring it was found that
the sprouts as we'll as the kerncls
had rotted. The earlier sown rye,
however, is already green, and a
week of warm weather would bring
it up two or three inches out of the
ground. The large amount of rain
last week. hurried it along to some
extent, but what we need now is
warm weather to make it grow fast

MEN NJ FIRST CLASS
ONLY TO Be CALLED

Washington, April 25.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder has advis-
ed the senate military committee
that approximately two million
drafted men will be placed in class
l.: These two million, according to
General Crowder, are exclusive OF
between 100000 and 100000
more annually who would be made
subject to military duty under the
proposed bill subjecting to registra-
ton youths reaching their majority.
From the two million men IN
class l and the additional number
secured by new legislation, General
Crowder has advised eenators that
IT. will be improbable that calls will
20 outside of the highest class.
Plans for the new draft are some
what unsettled by the house amend
ment to the senate bill changing
basis of quotas from state popula-
tions to the number of men In class
/, which would give credit TO
states for all men previously 1ur-
nished.
Operation of the house amend
menC, aCCOrQluS TO deAeldi OAo""
er. would cause much Inequality be-
tween states in the new draft. Ag-
ricultural states, he has advised the
committee, would have to furnish
the largest new quotas and 1t IS
doubted whether this would be ad-
visable in view of necessity for un-
diminished food production.
According to preliminary inquiry
of the provost marshal generals Of
flee. of the house amendment, three
states would be exempt ent1rely
from the new call.
Because of the disproportions
arising under the house plans, Cen
eral Crowder has obtained an agree
ment from congressional leaders to
postpone action on the bill until a
careful analysis of results Is avail
able.
