Immediately after. Geo. a. Bangs
counsel for the defendant, declared
added hat he might have wanted to
introduce a little evidence. but that
the state a anticipated his plan by
Offering the very things which he had
intended to present.
Scott Was Never Il Druggist.
Joe Scott, who has been on the wit
, ness stand several times during the
last few days, was again called by Mr.
Bronson who wanted to ask whether

Der of witnesses, reference was made

Many other features will he in
cluded in the series which is to be
made as comprehensive and inclusive
as is consistent with the aims Of the
government. I. is realized. of course.
that the government does not want
to publish material which may aid the
enemies of the country. and names of
places. ships, etc, will, therefore, be
: eliminated. The film series has the
stamp Of approval of the government
at Washington. which heartily encour-
ages the plan because it wishes that
every citizen realize fully that Uncle
Sam is at war. and why he is at war.
How he is warning will be fully en-
planned.

SOME CLAIMS
TO BE- GONE
OVER AGAIN
Local Draft Board Receives
New Instructions From
Adjutant-G General.

The local draft board today received
at Bismarck stating that district
boards may review all classiications
by local. boards in cases Of marriage
since May Is, 1917. and secure uni
formity of action. The order also SAYS
that all government appeal agents
shall be instructed to appeal all cases
where the local board granted de-
ferred classification in either Class
2 or Glass 4 on account of such mar
riage.
The effect will probably he that
every QUESTIONABLE will be appealed
by the government appeal agent so
fully into the merit Of the dependency
claims.
Further Review Ordered.
An order was also received which
practically means a further review of
missionaries i cases where indus
trial or agricultural claims have been
given with dependency claims attach
ed. If the registrant files a depend
|ency claim, having a wife and several
children dependent upon him. and is
classified as "A-4." and. in addition,
has an agricultural or inustrial claim
which places him in Glass "J-3." his
QUESTIONABLE must go to the district
board for Reconsideration.
The agricultural and industrial
claims are held as more deferred clas-
sification. even though the dependency
claim has bee allowed by the board.

LIBRARIES
ALMOST COMPLETE

The work of fitting up camp lib
raries taken up by the American Lib
AIRY association is progressing steadily
and already the Camp Libraries at the
majority of the camps and canton
ments are complete with the exception
of minor details such as interior dec
GRAFTON pictures. Grapes and? : other
matters of like nature which have
been left to be done according to the
direction of the librarian in charge.
The interest shown in reading by
the men at the camps is amazing is
the remark universally made by the
librarians at the several camps and
books are hardly received when they
have been taken out.
The general public has made and
is still making contributions, chiefly
of popular fiction, and the "A. l.. A..
lin purchasing an installmentu for. all
the camp libraries, has made It a noTfs
fiction collection, which may be sum:
married by saying it is a collection of
the best books in everything from
books on trades and textiles to pottery
and fine arts.
The Grand Forks library has COM
pleted a second collection which will
be shipped in a few days.

WAR PICTURES
T0.BE SHOWN
/ ! FOR Is WEEKS
State Defense Council opens
Educational Campaign
Here Next Sunday.

Beginning next Sunday afternoon,
moving pictures will be shown at the
Grand theatre in this city for patri-
otto purposes, illustrating the war ac-
tivities of the United States in a series
Of highly instructive n interesting
details.
The performances which, with con-
Stantly varying program, will extend
over the next t~wenty-siN Sundays, will
be given under the auspices of the
state council of defense. and with the
single motive that further knowledge
of the position of the country al this
time be given to the public so as to
make it more keenly realize the mag
nitude of the war. appreciate the vast
machinery which has had to be set in
motion for the successful carrying on
of the war.
Nobody Makes Money.
There is no monetary profit for
anybody in the undertaking. but the
state council has an initial expense of
$14,0OQ needed to carry out the plan
simultaneously in Il number of North
Dakota cities.
To cover the necessary eXpendi-
lures, and if any surplus is received,
it will be given to the American Red
Cross funds. 1t is pointed out that
there is no war tax to pay on the ad-
mission tickets.
Sunday Performances Necessary.
In making plans for this patriotic
~educationa picture campaign. the
state council of defense came to the
conclusion that the performances
must be given on Sundays. \ number
of reasons were advanced in justifica-
ton Of this decision. chief among
them being that it would be almost
impossible to secure advantageous
halls for the purpose on any week day
as all theatres are attending to their
regular business during the six days
of the week.
Furthermore, the experience of
committees in similar educational
work throughout the country have
reason to believe that they can at
tract much larger audiences on Sun
days han on any other day. and as it
is the desire Of the defense council
to have as many as possible become
acquainted with the war work of the
United States. this was a factor which
entered largely into the preparatory
considerations.
In view of the fact that the NOV
ing picture campaign is for the bene-
fit Of the nation as we'll as of the in
dividual. it has been reasoned that ii
Is perfectly justifiable to give these
performances on Sundays for the mex,
six months.
Pictures Tell the Story.
The moving pictures will graphic
ally describe the details of the vast
American war machinery. Among
the interesting features will be a
series of films describing the life of a
United States soldier and jackie from
the momen when he is drafted o,
when he enlists until he energies a
we'll trained and disciplined fighter fol
