LOCAL BOARD
GIVES NO AID
Registrars Must Consult
Lawyers When Filling
Out QUESTIONABLE.

A number of registrants have ap-
piled to the office of the local war
board for aid in filling out their
questionnaires The board, however,
has nothing to do with this part of
the var organization work and an
nounces that under no circumstances
will it undertake to render the aid
which is to come from members and
associate members Of the legal ad-
visory board.
Already the lawyers throughout the
county are busy aiding registrants,
and the offices Of local attorneys are
at times fairly besieged by men who
confess themselves unable to answer
all the questions contained in the
document which has been sent to reg
istrants between the ages Of 10 and
SO. In a few days the schedule for
lawyers who will be stationed as ad-
visers in the court house, will be COM
pleted.
Altogether about 500 questionnaires
to September IL, 1918, registrants
have been mailed, and the work con.
.tinues at the rate of about 200 a day;
there n approximately 1900 mer
within the age class limits-that is
about one-half the total number OF
re%gistrants in the county.
1t appears that some registrants are

when they waive exemption or de-
ferred classification. they are unde,
no obligation to answer the questions
in the QUESTIONABLE. The fact that
they waive does not exempt then
from the necessity of filling out the
QUESTIONABLE in exact compliance
with the prescribed regulations. The
government wants all the information
and all the facts just the same, and
the board Is very. painstaking In
pointing out this IN a rule to which
there is no exception.
The local board calls attention t.
the importance Of answering correct

THOUGHT HIS
MIND SUPREME
Hallucinations Lead to Com
'mitment Of Christ Spa
chek in Asylum.

Until some time ago. Christ
spachek. a Bohemian, had been
working as a thresher near Langdon;
quite recently he migrated to Arvilla
where he continued threshins, and
gradually it developed upon him
that his mind was superior not only
to the strength of his body, but that
delusion was that when he put his
glasses on, he became as strong az
several horse-powers; another that
when the driver of an automobile sat
at the wheel, it was really his,
Pachek's mind that did the steering.
1t appears hat some of Spachek's
associates were blind to the superior
traits which, in his own judgment,
had marked him u as one of the
most remarkable psychological phen-
nomena whose records have been
penned by savants, and the immedi-
ate result was that Pachek was
brought here yesterday to have his
mentality passed upon by the county
board Of insanity: When the man
appeared before County Judge L. K.
Hassell, it was realized that the
proper Jurisdiction would be with
Clearwater county, Mimi, as Pachek
claimed that Bagley was his home.
An auto trip was made to Bagley.
the .telepathic genius, being accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriffs C. c. Stew
art and F. G. :Hankey as well as by
Judge Hassell. In order to facilitate
matters. the Clearwater county au-
thorities requested the Polk county
insanity board to act, and the jour-
ney was continued to Crookston
where a hearing was held. !,
After being examined as to the
mature Of his %delusions, Spachek was
adjudged insane and this morning
was expected to be on his way to the
asylum for the insane at Fergus
Falls. - I'M

Grand Forks City Fourth
Liberty Loan Quota Not
Yet Announced.
LOCAL CITIZENS TO
INVEST
Women's investments Will
be New Feature of Coun-
ty and City Campaign.

Grand Forks county must subscribe
$1,700,O00 to the Fourth Liberty
Loan. according to an announcement
madeStoday by e. j. Lander, county
director, This is an increase over the
third loan Of a million dollars.
The quota for Grand Forks city
could not be announced today. When
the county allotment was made pub
lie, n. v. Moore, city director, was
called. but he said that no figures had
been given to him and he could make
nothing known as to the city quota.
1.-The figures / have received are on
ly tentative he said. and it is i'm
possible to make n public an
nouncement."
The executive committee Of the city
campaign met last night and began
the work of making individual allot-
ments. Subscriptions to h last loan
were checked up, so that the commit
tee would have a working basis. In
dividual allotments will be greater for
this loan, of course. The immense
increase in county, state and district
allotments makes this essential.
City Allotment Grows.
The city allotment will be greatly
increased. There is no doubt about
that, for it will have to bear its share
of the county increase. This e
that every individual subscriber will
have to do his utmost to see 1t
through. Many men have left the
city to enter the service and this will
make n difference in the subscrip-
tons. But there is another feature
that is not being overlooked by the
executive committee. Women. in
most instances. have replaced these
men in the business world and today
they are earning excellent salaries.
They are the potential influence in
this loan. They will have to buy the
bonds hat their predecessors would
purchase if they were here. There is
no doubt that the women will respond
loyalty. They ave shown that they
want nothing to do with a lacker.
and, because of this and they
are proud of the fact that their rela-
tives have entered the service, they
the top. 1t is impossible for the ex-
ecutive committee to send out notices
to these women, for the committee
has no record of them. Their re-
Spouse will have to be voluntary.
The Liberty o song, For our
Boy and MY Boy" is to be sung In the
theaters of Grand Forks for h ball
ance Of the week and during the cam
paign. Together with other songs.
it will be sung by all of the school
children during their music periods.
Stores Are Decorated.
In advance of the opening day OF
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
the merchants of the city have
decorated their windows most appro-
rrinte1v with patriotic symbols and

LIBRARY TO BE
CLOSED UNTIL
One O'CLOCK
Beginning Oct. l, City Ii
brary Will Adopt War
Measure Plan.

Beginning with Tuesday, October /.
the public library of Grand Forks
will not open until 1 o'clock every
afternoon. This will NEAR that on
week days the library will be open
between the hours of / in the after
noon and 9 o'clock in the evening.
This plan, it vas announced, has
been used only as a war emergency
measure and as such it is hoped it
will be accepted in the right spirit
by the library patrons. Due to the
enormous increase in the cost of IL
brary supplies and running expenses
Libraries all over the country have de-
vtsed various means by which these
expenses can be curtailed with the
public. Some libraries have curtail-
ed the purchase of new books for the
ensuing season, and other libraries
have closed their doors on Sunday.
The directors OF the city library
considered that the least interference
to public service would be secured
in the adopted. namely in
closing the library during the morn
ing hours. This will mean a consld-
cradle decrease in library assistance
and a saving of heat and light dur
ing the winter months.
Library Open Sundays.
1t was not deemed expedient to
close the library on Sundays, due to
the presence Of the soldiers in the
city on Saturday afternoons and on
Sunday. The library will be open
for the service Of the men, who 9TH
erwise would be denied the privilege
of using the library on their holiday
1t was also not considered wise to
curtail the purchase of books at q
time when there is such a demand
for the very latest literature in both
books and periodicals.
There has been such an increase
in the running expenses of the Ii
brary that even the increased appro-
priation which was provided by the
city budget will not meet the ex-
penses unless some other provision
be made. With the plan devised by
the library board the usual supply
of reading material can be kept up;
the library will be open on Sundays
for the use of both the soldiers and
civilians, and the week day service
will not be considerably interrupted
as the greatest demand on the library
is made during the afternoon.
With the new schedule, the cir.
culation desk will be open until 6
instead of closing at s o'clock as
usual. The hours on Sunday will tt
as usual.
