AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE s
MAY BECOME PERMANENT
ARMY TRAINING CAMP

Fargo, N. ID, July 30.-With the
designation Of the North Dakota Ag-
ricultural college army vocational
training school as the place for train
ing another detachemnt of over 200
men, beginning August Is, the indi-
catios + that the college will be-
come a permanent training school for
the army.
The first detachment will conclude
it's work about August IL, and the
men will depart prior to August Is,
when the new soldiers come in.s
Fargo business men have raised a
fund of $4,000 for the purpose of pro-
viding adequate barracks at the col
lege, in the hope Of making the insti-
tuition a permanent training camp.
The training Of the men in vocations
is recognized as one of the big mill
tary problems, and the use of the
schools fitted for that work, recently
determined upon by the department
Of war, has put the North Dakota in
Stitution in line for continued service
Of that nature. Only the fact that
out of door work cannot be %prosecut-
ed during the mid-winter month is
said to stand in the way of immed-
late action looking to the designation
of the camp as a permanent training
school.

NO MORE
PROFESSIONAL

The famous "work or fight" order
has been decided to apply to the pro-
fessional baseball players and goes in
to effect Sept. /. In consequence the
big leagues have gone out Of business
and nearly all the minor and bush
leagues have closed their season and
box office for the period of the way.
Baseball has been one of u cleanest
and without doubt the most popular of
all outdoor professional sports in
America. AT its best. it furnished an
honorable and easy livelihood for a
great many yonug men gifted with the
necessary activity and skill to excel in
the game. 1t is a strenuous game and
men beyond the age of thirty were
most likely to find themselves on the
down grade toward retirement, and
consequently the draft included the
flower of the profession. Temporary
exemptions were secured in many
cases, but when the call for the man
power of the country began to be felt,
the needs of war came first and the
great American game, so far as pro-
fessionalism goes, went on the blink.
Uncle Sam will find use for the splen-
did specimens that were the idols Of
millions and they will find an oppor-
tunity to earn a more lasting glory
than they could ever obtain on the
diamond.
The temporary eclipse of profession
al baseball does not mean that the
game is to be forgotten. The game
itself is being played on the other side
and our soldiers are going at it with as
much zest as "a ever shown by the
greatest stars on this side. At the
environments also it is the great rec
reation. Baseball has just followed
the army and navy and the Y will take
it back when Johnnie comes march
ing home. The baseball stars that
will go to the front will get a great
welcome from the boys that are al
ready there and we venture to say
that if they desire to keep up the pra-
ctice, the ranks of professionalism
