ton, "and deliberately to devote the

ment of that purpose. It is the call

ter by mail, sufficiently in advance
that the registration record reaches
the board by September IL. If a
man has no permanent residence, he
is to register at the place he is on
September 12, and those out of the
country on that day are required to
enroll within five days after their
return.
At least 100000 men will place
themselves subject to call for war
service under the new registration,
it is estimated, although only those
without dependents, in good health
and otherwise qualified for the
arduous duties of soldier life are to
be taken first.
Youth in their eighteenth year
will be placed in separate group,
the war department announced, to
be subject to a special educational
program and will not be called un-
til the supply of other available
men in the new cases is exhausted.
This does not mean that their call
ing will be long deferred, however,
inasmuch as it has Deen announced
tat all men in the new registration
accepted for general service will be

SUGAR LIMITATIONS
MUCH MODIFIED

Ehe restrictions on the use OF
sugar for canning purposes In this
state have been materially lifted SO
hat the householder may procure
as much as his needs require. There
are restrictions placed on the hon.
esty and integrity of the purchasers,
the violations which will subject the
individuals violating Of which will
subject them to heavy nnes, tie pen
atty being added to because they
will betray the confidence of the
food administration in On emerg-
clcy condition intended to save
large Quantities of fruit which is
now being shipped to North Dakota
dealers for canning purposes.
Under the new 7esul; tions per-
nit merchants to sell sugar to con-
sumersf without waiting to have a
permit signed by the food admins

sign a request on blanks which have
been mailed to all dc.:lers in the
state and which should reach them
today. Their requests must be y.
XII. by the merchant and immedia-
tely forwarded to the state food ad-
ministrator. Upon the receipt OF
these requests the food administra-
torvill issue the required permit as
if it were dated en- the day of the
request.
The merchant is authorized to sell
the customer upon tho request and
without waiting fer tho permit the
amount of sugar required for ac-
tual canning purposes. The regular
allotment for canning purposes is
ten pounds fol- ecch member of the
family, excluding children under 4
years old. But If the actual condi-
tions warrant the sale of quantities
in excess of this limitation it will be
supplied.
Persons who take advantage of
this opening of the restrictions: for
the purpose of procuring more sugar
than they need for canning, will
not only have the amount SO procur-
ed deducted from their allowance
for g-neral consumption hereafter,
but will be fined for violation of the
food regulations.

CHARGED WITH I'm.
PORTING BOOZE

Minot, N. D., Sept. 5.-Richard
Lawrence. a colored porter on the
Great Northern, was arrested at
Fargo yesterday by Deputy United
States Marshall C. D. Scott on q
charge of importing liquor into the
state in violation of the federal law.
Lawrence was arrested In this city
on warrant issued by the local
authorities for violation of the
state law. He was charged with i'm
porting liquor into the state, bring
ing it from the Twin Cities to Minot
where it is alleged he disposed of the
beverage. He was bound over to
the district court on this charge and
was released on bail.
Meanwhile the federal authorities
were notified of the violation Of the
federal law and warrant for the
arrest of the porter was issued The
local authorities will yield their
rights in the case to the federal
authorities, as the penalty under the
federal statute is much more severe
than under the state law.
Lawrence was taken before UNI
ted States Commissioner John @.
Pfefer, where he demanded a pre-
liminary hearing. He was commit
ted to the Cass county Jail in default
of $500 bail to await the hearing
which was set for September 4.

The Durham wheat seems to
have stood the drouth IN most cases
better than any of the other var
ieties, and those who are raising 1t
are surprised at the size of some of
the heads. A. Dudley of northeast
of town showed us a few heads TAX
en- from his field which had from 40
to 55 kernels in each, and every
kernel was much larger than the
ordinary. Every head is filled right
up to the top and is as heavy a.

In this issue of The Tribune ap-
pear quite a large number of treas
urer's reports of school districts
showing their financial cAdition.
We would suggest that our readers
carefully look over these reports for
the district in which they reside
and learn just what financial condi-
tion their schools are in. All the
reports published in this issue show
the districts to be In first class con-

q Collision Of SpeedePs

bruised, Mr.. Veach received some
scalp wounds and broken thumb,
while his son was not injured.
Tony Smith was knocked uncon-
sciOus for nearly an hour, but out
side Of few scratches, was not in

The first person to realize what
had happened was Allen Green,
and he says he thought he saw the
headlight Of freight train coming.
so pulled both cars off from the
track. The others were unable to
help themselves any, so Green
walked to Northgate for help Sew
eral persons were gotten together
and on their return all the injured
were conscious except Speer. Those
who were unable to walk were
loaded on the platform Of one of
the cars and were taken to North
gate and DR.. Libmurg of Bowbells
was called. He gave the injured
first aid, and Speer was brought to
the hospital in Bowbells where he
died the following evening.
John Franklin Speer, the de-
ceased was born at Fairbanks, Iowa,
on Sept. 10, 1877. He leaves to
mourn his death two children, Ida
eight years old, and Roy six years
old, one brother and one sister re-
Siding. in Kansas, two brothers in
Iowa, his brother Charlie of Bow
bells. The funeral was held from
the local M. E. church on Tuesday
afternoon of this week and burial
took place at the Bowbells cemetery

ber of people attended the funeral
services which were conducted by
Rev. Tewel, the local pastor.

John Speer, who has made his
home in this city for several years,
and who has been employed on the
Great Northern section here, died
last Sunday evening following his
injury in an accident which took
place the night before about two
miles south Of Northgate when two
motor driven cars collided.
Mr.. Speer and Allen Green of
this city had taken the speeder used
by the section men here = and ran
same to Northgate where they made
some purchases, and started for
home A. w. Veach, the section
foreman at Northgate, and his ten
year-old son, and Tony Smith, a
section hand at Northgate, had been
in Bowbells and were on their way
back home when the two cars COL
lided about two miles south of
Northgate. It appears that both
cars were going at a high speed,
and as it was dark those riding on
the cars could not see each other
until it was too laxe to avoid a
smashup. Mr.. Speer was sitting on
the platform of the Bowbells car
with his feet hanging down. in front,
while Green was driving the ma
chine. It appears that he was the
only one who failed to jump, and he
was caught between the cars when
they telescoped. Both of his legs
were mashed to pulp below the
knees, his nose was broken, his up
per jaw bone was broken, his skull
was fractured, all his teeth were
knocked out, and he was in many
other ways injured. Allen Green
says he slid off the car before the
collision and was only slightly

WARNS AGAINST
FORAGE POISONING

DR.. R. E., Shigley of Kenmare
writes The Tribune that he has been
advised by the bureau of Animal
Industry that serious epidemic of
forage poisoning of horses exists to
an alarming extent in South Dako-
ia. The outbreak started in san
born county and has extended north
through Beadle, Sphinx and Brown
counties. It apparently is confin-
ed up to this time to the James
River valley. The outbreak seems
to be the same character as the
one occurring in Nebraska and
Kansas few years ago. 1t may
be due to forage conditions and
may not develop in North Dakota.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board desires that close watch be
maintained for the appearance of
this disease here, and to please no
tify Mr.. Shigley at Kenmare in case
any cases of poisoning develop in
this state.

HEIGHT IS APPOINTED
COUNTY. SUPT,

At 6, meeting. of the county coma
missioners held on Tuesday of this
week C. H. Hecht of Portal was ap-
pointed to the office<of county sup
erintendent of Burke county. Sew
- eral other applications were yfcon-
sidered, but the majority Of the
board were of the opinion that the
appointment of Mr.. Hecht would
meet with the approval Of most of
the people Of the county. Mr..
Hecht will not take charge of the
office until about the middle of the
month, or until he files his bond
with the county, and same is ap-
proved by the county board. Mr..
Wort, the former superintendent,
left for his new home at Aberdeen.
and until Mr.. Hecht can qualify for
the place. Miss Emma Skeem of
Flaxton, the former, deputy superin-
tendent will have charge Of the Of
fee. The Tribune bell YES that
our readers will agree with us when
we say that the county board could
not have found more competent
man in the county for this office
than Mr.. Hecht, and that from
point of efficiency the commissioners
could not have done better. Mr..
Hecht served Burke county as sup
erintendent of schools for four years
Immediately after the county was
organized, and during his admins
tration everything in connection
with the county schools was run
ming very smoothly. He is we'll
qualified for the place, and his
many friends are glad to see him
take the Office again.

for the delightful dancing on the boats
and the two dansants ashore. When
Coney Island became the dancedom
Of Cincinnati and vicinity many years
ago, the directorate Of that time de-
cided that free dancing would be a
feature Of Coney forever, for, they
reasoned, dancing is just as natural
as breathing and should be as free as
the air. And so it i'll.
Picnic Land, that wide and airy
stretch of gladeland, thickly carpeted
with grass and rooted by the branches
of gigantic trees is mighty popular
these days. There are acres of ta-
bles free to all and many a merry
little basket picnic group to be seen.
One is unconsciously soothed by the
vast tree-land as soon as he steps
