THIRST CAUSED TROUBLE

New Salem, N. d., Feb. 2O.-Phillip
Blank of New Salem, and Matt Grew
er, of Glen Ullin, business men, volun-
tarily pleaded guilty to violating the
bone-dry law in Judge Amidon's court
Wednesday and were sentenced to
pay fine of $500, each.
The court in imposing the sentence
said that the time is rapidly approach
ing when a straight Jail sentence
without the option of fine will be
the penalty imposed by him upon vio-
lators of the bone-dry law.
He said that the mere fact that
the liquor is brought in for personal
use does not alter the character of
the offense in the least.

was impossible to save them all.
None of the soldiers suffered in

The ages of the inmates of the
nunnery ranged from 2 to 3 days to

 CROWD ATTENDS RACE

LOUISVILLE. Ky, May 11-One of the greatest crowds that ever wit nesse dthe Kentucky derby today saw W. $. kilmer's recent acquisition, EX- terminator. ridden by Jockey W. Knapp win the 44th renewal of that classic handily by one length from K. D. Alexander's Escoba. Eight lengths back came Vica America, who had set the early pace, while the public's choice A. k. Macomber's War Cloud, was fourth.
 The race was run over a sloppy track and under the circumstances the time Of 2:10 4-5 was good.
 EXterminator's victory came as a great surprise to most of the specta- tors as few had conceded the gelding d chance.
 . The start was good, EXterminator getting off in fifth place, which he still held by a length at the quarter. At the half the gelding had moved up 10 fourth place which he held by half length and at the three quarters he was first by a head. At the mile he dropped back a little and was second by four lengths. Coming into the stretch he moved up on Escoba, and in the final drive he moved away fin ioAill6 " 4til d SGhtI Obo IOliS LII lO Sltetl c.

EQUIPMENT WANTED
 FUR 400 TENNIS
 COURTS IN CAMPS

This call to give men in the
 service a chance to enjoy tennis
 puts it up to us to see that they
 get what they want. It is not a
 call to do our bit but to do our
 best. The appeal of the physical
 directors shows a large need for
 supplies-which the men want at
 once. You will help most if you
 act now.
 In these words, Julian s. Myrick, vice president of the United States National Lawn Tennis association, closes an appeal addressed to it's mem bers, for supplies to equip 400 tennis courts. Reports made to the war de- partment commission on training camp activities by it's athletic directors show that about 100 courts have been built and that four times as many are under way.
 Some equipment is available but for the most part the camps are entirely without adequate supplies of nets, balls and rackets. To meet this need the national association is soliciting gifts. Every club has at least one net which it can send,' says the letter, and a search would doubtless reveal several. And rackets-everyone has a bat that can be strung up and made to help Uncle Sam

structions from the commission or the national association and all inquiries should be addressed to Paul B. Will Hams, 20 Broad street, New York City.
 Eighty Courts In France
 A system has been devised which will enable club to ship to the near est point where supplies are wanted, so that traffic congestion will be avoided. The national association has already provided equipment for so courts in France, through the Y. NJ. C. A. With all its clubs being urged to provide equipment for camps here it is hoped that the home needs will be quickly met. The physical direc- tors report that officers and men are keen for tennis and that their playing is limited only by the supplies avail able. It is fairly easy to provide the courts, but nets, rackets and balls fairly easy to provide the courts, but are hard to get-hence the appeal to the tennis clubs for supplies.

Balls form one of the main items. Put box where your players can drop the ones they have used and arrange to have some one collect these regular ly and forward them. Even dead balls are useful as a tip for bayonets in bayonet drill, so don't throw any away.
 Send only equipment that is service able. It need not be new but it should be ready for use. There is no chance to have rackets strung at camp and nets cannot be mended, so attend to these matters before shipment. Sup plies should be shipped only on in

MAUD MULLER MAKING GOOD.

The formal report Of the Woman's
Land Army Of America tells only part
of the story Of women contribution TO
the food production program OF the
nation. but it is significant because OF
tho WIDE range Of women activities IN
this field which it reveals The Land
Army is organized in II states and has
numbered some 1900 recruits These
have been pitching hay, hocing corn,
shocking grain, bagging corn, plowing,
picking and canning fruit, feeding stock,
driving horses, running tractors and
even saving wood This is but a partl al
list Of the things they are doing, and
doing well
A good many farmers at the outset
scorned the help Of women IN the field
who wholly forgot that womens work
in the past has not been much less arduous
than that Of men, even in the busiest
seasons. There is not a great deal OF
difference between plying a broom and
welding hoe, and housewives who cut
their own wood have been too numerous

aspect Of the situation in many instances
has been that as members Of the Land
Army they have been receiving wages
