Appointed TO Camp Lewis

Son of Former Gov. e. Y. Sarles has
Been Connected with National
Guard for IL Years.
Bismarck, N. D., July 27.-Capt.
Earl r. Sarles of .Hillsboro, of the
North Dakota national guard quarter
master corps, today was ordered to re-
port to the commanding general at
Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash,
for service as assistant camp quarter
master with the national army. Ad-
jutant General Fraser received the
order by wire this morning and inn
mediately communicated it to Capt.
Sarles, who is, delighted that an OPP
portunity has come at last for him to
get into the game.
Capt. Sarles, who is a son of for
mer Governor E. Y. Sarles. has been
connected with the North Dakota
When the Second regiment was mus
tered in he was made regimental
commissary. Then a switch in orders
came, and when the snarl finally was
untangled it left Capt. Sarles still as
signed to the North Dakota national
guard and not in federal service.
Capt. Sarles and the adjutant general
have been en%deavoring for more than
a year to procure an assignment to
active duty for the Hillsboro veteran
%guardsman, and it came at last today.
The appointment to Camp Lewis is
q very desirable one. and Capt. Sarles
is a most efficient officer and is
thoroughly experienced in the COM
missary and quartermaster depart
ments. His many friends throughout
the state are showering him with con-
CALCULATIONS upon his good fortune.

LATE OPENING
OF SCHOOLS IS
NOT FAVORED
Beginning Of Fall Term
Should be Left With Lo-
cal School Boards.

Bismarck, Guly 27.-correspond-
ence from various parts Of the state
shows that the plan of the Council Of
Defense to postpone the opening of all
the schools in the state until October
+ Is by nj means meeting with uni
versal favor. 1t Is understood that
the action of the council was taken on
the recommendation of Superintend-
ent Mcdonald. who made a recon-
mendation Of this kind to the school
boards Of the state last year. The
recon1mendation was ignored, and the
boards opened the fall terms in their
respective districts at the time which
they regarded as most convenient for
the local people. This year it appears
that MI. Mcdonald undertook to have
his views carried into effect under the
authority Of the Council Of Defense.
The reason advanced for the order Is
that the labor of the larger children
Is needed on the farms, n that
school sessions ought not to be permit
ted to interfere with farm work.
Opponents of the plan point out
that probably 80 per cent Of the pupils
in the common schools are below the
age at which their labor could be Of
that it would be absurd to, deprive
these small children of the benefits Of
schooling in September, the best
school month in the year., because a
few of the larger boys are needed for
work at home.
The feeling is expressed by several
writer's that the time of beginning the
fall term may well be left to the local
school. boards, who are apt to be more
familiar with the needs Of their own
people than either the state superin-
tendent or the Council Of Defense.

Montana Cleaning Up
Undesirable Quarter.
Movement to Assist in the Crusade
Against Social Diseases
Gaining Impetus.

Helena, Mont, July ga move
ment to assist in the crusade against
social diseases, by passing powerful
legislation, is gaining great impetus in
Montana. The drive to check the
spread of the army menace was in
formally i~naugurated here last spring
when Col. MacGruder, of the United
States army, outlined his plans at a
meeting OF Montana members of The
Associated Press.
Col. MacGruder, at that time, made
no effort to minimize conditions at
Camp Lewis and among the large
contingents. Of drafted men reporting
at that camp. He did not regard the
situation as abnormally serious. or
different in Montana than it was In
other states, but he did urge that the
press of the state cooperate to min
imize the evil. nc
h result has been that campaigns
to clean up undesirable quarters
have been going OF throughout the
state. 1t has been officially declared
that restricted districts have been
wiped out in Montana, with the ex-
ception Of less than a dozen in widely
isolated regions.
n state board Of health has ap-
proved a plan to regard social dis
eases as subject to quarantine. A
number of women already have been
placed under such restrictions but
this was done as a military measure.
1t is now proposed that the legisla-
ture draft a new code of laws so that
immoral offenses will be more strictly
punished and that severe penalties be
impose upon persons convicted of
injecting others.
Col. MacGruder has spent a great
deal Of his time in Montana and has
laid stress upon the fact that a heavy
percentage of such cases reported al
Camp Lewis were contracted while
the soldiers were civilians.

CONFIRMED JAII
BREAKER CAUGHT
Horse-thief and Alleged
Man-killer is Again in N.
D. Penitentiary.

Bismarck, N. D.. July 27.-Jesse
horsethief and alleged man-killer, is
again behind the bars Of the North
Dakota p~enitentiary after two years as
a fugitive. Starkweather and an ac-
complice two years ago were brought
down town by a guard to have some
dental work done. They protested a
difference Of opinion in choice Of
dentists, and the accommodating
guard left Starkweather in one dem
fists chair, while he accompanied the
second convict to another practi-
out of the dental room into a car
which awaited him on the street and
made his getaway. :
Nothing fusther was heard of the
fugitive until this week when a wire
from Custer. s. D., announced that
Jesse Starkweather was under arrest,
charged with being a Stacker. "A pri-
o attache was dispatched to Custer
the same day: Starkweather was iden-
titled as the man who had escaped
from the North Dakota ~penitentiary,
plete a twice interrupted term of i'm
prisonmeit.
Starkweather was originally con-
victad of horse stealing. He had
served only a short time when he
made his first escape from prison.
While a fugitive he is alleged to have
killed a man named Crowley in the
Killdeer country. He was tried on a
charge of manslaughter at Mandan
and the jury disagreed. During the
trial, however, he was discovered to
be the escaped horsethief, and he was
returned to the state p~enitentiary to
complete his sentence. The charge of
manslaughter still hangs wei him,
and he will face a second trial when
his original prison term is completed.
He was to have been tried in Het-
finger county last October, and it is
possible that his case will come up
at the october term Of the Hettinger
county court this fall.
In spite Of his long criminal career,
starkweather Is nowfonly rs years old.
He had a wife when he was first CON
vtcted. but she has procured a divorce

Demands on State Hail
Insurance Fund Light

Bismarck, N. D., July 27.-De-
mands on the state hail insurance
fund to date have been light, reports
Thomas sheahan. deputy in charge OF
this department OF Insurance Com
missioner Olsness' office. To date
twenty-six claims have been received,
and the heaviest of these asks for but
from Sargent, Grand Forks, Wells,
McHenry, LaMoure and Stark county.
In general hail damage has been
slight, and unless July losses should
materially boost the claims, the hail
insurance fund will, he i n a position to
pay all losses as adjusted and will
have a balance in the fund at the end
OF the season. July premiums have
not been tabulated, but the receipts
for June were $13.4S6, far over the
receipts for the entire season of 1917.
It IS probable that the total receipts
for the present season will eclipse
those of any other year except 1912,
which was an exception.

In War Saving Pledges
lightweight People of Minot Made
Pledges for $1,000, Which Is the
Iimit-

Minot, N. D.. July 27.-Minot and
Ward county went over the top in
great style in the War Saving Stamp
