DIED LAST SUNDAY
IN PUBLIC LIFE FOR FORTY
FIVE YEARS DIED OF
PARALYSIS

Washington, April 15.-Sen. Will
liam j. Stone, of Missouri, chairman
of the senate foreign relations COM
mittee and for many years prominent
among Democratic leaders, died here
Sunday after a stroke of paralysis
suffered last Wednesday. p:
At the entry of the United States
into the war, Senator Stone perform
ed the trying feat of antagonizing his
own party administration, and then
realifned himself with it in gener-
ally satisfactory manner. 1t was in
connection with the bill proposing
the arming of American merchant
ships that he took sharp issue with
President Wilson. He stood with the
dozen senator's whose opposition
caused the failure of that measure
and brought down the denunciation
of the President upon the "wilful
twelve" While Senator Stone made
no apologies for his course on. that
occasion he always contended it was
in strict line with his duty as sem
ator because in accord with his con-
victions, and as he believed, in pro-
lection of Americas interests.

Farmers who have sons or other
relatives in training at the national
cantonments and who need their help
in seeding or harvesting have an op-
portunity to procure temporary
furlough for their helpers through an
act of March Is, which is fully ex-
plained in circular letter from
Major General Peyton c. March, act
ing chief -of-staff, addressed to local
boards throughout the country.
Farmer Must Apply
Major General March encloses
copies of the blank application for
furlough which must be filled out by
the farmer desiring temporary help
from soldier relatives or former en-
ployes. This blank is to give the
name of the soldier for whom ap-
lication is made; his rank; organiza-
ton and present station; location OF
farm on which soldier is desired for
work; name of owner or tenant OF
farm; kind of farm; number of per-
sons normally engaged on farm;
number of males above the age of Ia
now working on farm; acreage OF
farm; acreage under cultivation;
crops to be grown this year and ap-
proximate acreage of each; number
of horses on farm, cattle, hogs,
sheep; market value of farm; last
years production; this years antici-
pated production; farm machinery;
extent of soldiers experience In
farming and wages paid for farm Ia
Dor in vicinity and availability OF
farm labor.
This application is to be filed with
the local exemption board which will
report on the same blank its recon-
mendations and findings, together
with the concurrence or dissent OF
the county agent or government ap-
peal agent, and the application must
finally be signed by the soldier af-
fected, who engages, if the furlough

is granted, to utilize the time of his
absence solely and completely in
farming, to work earnestly and we'll,
and that if for any reason his serv-
ices cease to be urgently needed be-
fore the expiration Of his furlough,
he will report Immediately for mill
tary duty at his proper post. The
application then goes to the COM
manding officer for his approval,
which completes the contract.
Furloughs For Short Periods
Furloughs granted in this order
will be for short periods, largely for
seeding and harvesting time. They
may be given by commanding officers
of posts, camps, environments, dlvl-
sions and departments. Such fur
loughs will not be granted enlisted
men or those above the grade of first
sergeant, nor will they be granted in
an organization that has been order
ed or is in transit from points of
mobilization or training to port of
e m b a r k a t ion; and all furloughs
granted will be recalled and the men

the latter have received preparatory
orders for duty overseas. Furloughs
granted under this order will be
without pay and the allowances, ex-
cept that enough pay will be retained
in each case to meet allotments in
force on the date of this order, war
risk insurance and pledges on Lib
erty bonds.
1t is feared that North Dakota will
derive little advantage from this fur
lough provision although $500 men
who were called from this state with
in the last month may be considered
available. Those who went earlier to
Camp Dodge have been split up and
assigned to other commands for
overseas service. Some Of these men
may now be en- route to France, and
it is certain that a majority of them
soon will be called to embark.

The great work of weighing and
measuring all the children of the ma
ton under school age has started
April 9Th ushered in Children's Year.
This is to be year in which the gov
ernment wants not only to save the
lives of it's children, but to protect
them from the hardships that follow
in the wake of war.
The instructions for carrying out
the Weighing and Measuring Test of
American children under 5 years OF
age were sent today by the Child
Welfare Department of the Woman's
Committee of the Council of National
Defense to it's State and local child
welfare chairmen, who will be re-
sponsible for the test in each COM
munity. The record cards will follow
after word is received of the exact
number required by each committee.
This test is the first feature of
Children's Year and should begin on
April 6, but owing to the fact that
North Dakota is late IN perfecting its
organization we will begin May 9Th
and hope to finish in 30 days. The
plans for Chi1dren's Year prepared
by the Children's Bureau Of the u. 5.
Department Of Labor include activi-
ties designed to protect all children
from special dangers of war time and
to save the lives Of 100000 little
children before April 6, 1919.
Many of the physical defects which
caused. the rejection of one-third Of
the men coming up for examination
in the first draft are believed to date
from some slight trouble neglected
in early childhood. And the Chill
dren's Bureau emphasizes the fact
that higher standard of physical
fitness in the rising generation can be
assured only by greater attention to
the physical condition of children.
According to the Bureau, height
and weight and their relation to each
other are a rough index Of young
child's health and development. For
instance, when a child is strikingly
below the average weight for his
height or is strikingly small for his
age, it indicates that expert advice
about diet and daily care is needed.
In so far as the test makes it plain
to parents that the physical condition
of their children needs special atten-
ton, and in so far as it leads to COM
munity provision for public-health
nurses and consultation centers for
babies and young children, to a safe
guarding of the milk supply, and to
other measures for the protection of
children, it will aid in conserving !
