The Sirius made the voyage from
Cork in 10 days. reaching New York
only few hours before the Great

had sailed from Bristol. The latter
made the best time. crossing the
ocean in IS days. The Sirius had

The members of this committee have
been efficient workers either in the Y.

The War Work Council uses the
organization of the Y. w. c. A. and is
under the auspices of its National
Board. The work is divided into
seven departments:
I. Women in Industry (Munitions.
etc.
The Colored Girl in Industry
Girls Adjacent to Camps.

Social Morality.
Hostess Houses.
The Girl Overseas.
Remarkable work is being done
in all of the departments. The most
conspicuous success is that of the

may meet and entertain their friends.

1t is apparent from the fact that

600 horse power of thiais used for irri-
CATION and reclamation purposes "a pc
culiarity of semiarid sections), the
remainder, or 10000 horse power, is
actually being used for miscellaneous
farm purposes, such as driving the

on. The only thing that we are not
doing with electricity on any scale is
plowing and cultivating, and this now
bids fair to be commercial reality In

question as to wheteher $4,000 North

country on foreign soil, are not dis
franchised is now beforA Attorney
General LANCER for an opinion. Rep.
preventative G. A. Reishus of Minot
presented bill at the special session
of the-legislature last January design
ed to give our soldiers vote in tho
government of their state while they
are away fighting our battles. The
league majority in the house floored
the Reishus bill and presented sub
stitute appropriating large sum Of
money to defray the expenses of a
voting commission to be named by the
governor to journey to France, Italy
and other foreign lands in which our
troops are billetted to hold elections.
There was so much criticism of this
measure that it was finally with
drawn and another substitute, adher-
ing closely to the features of the orig
inal Reishus bill, was introduced by
Patterson. After much amendment
this bill finally passed.
Must Mail Ballots

auditor at least As days before any

cation from any elector, to send such
absent voter ballot to such elector in
the manner provided in Section 997 OF
the compiled laws for 1913," and pro-
vides that a stamped envelope shall be
enclosed for the return of the ballot.
The affidavit endorsed on the absent
voter ballot may be made by the elec-
tor before his immediate commission
ed commanding officer.
Election this year falls on Noyem-
ber 5th and the absent voter ballots
would be mailed not later than Sep

most favorable conditions will be re-
quired to vote and return these bal
lots. In majority of cases it is be-

provides that if the return envelope
