Y. NJ. C. A. SERVES NORTH DA.
MEN IN TRAIN ENROUTE
IL CAMP DODGE.

9Sia per cent of the men leaving
North Dakota for Camp Dodge on
March 29th to April I'd, enjoyed the
activities and services of the Y. M.
c. A. secretaries on the train.
"fhe Y. NJ c.. A. follows the Boys
All the Way" is no longer only sIo-
gan. but fact. Reports coming in
to the State Office show that 6 secre-
taries and 1S assistants rendered these
services to the $500 men crroute to
Camp Dodge. S43 90 worth of
stamps were sold, 1850 postal cards
and 14o4 letters written, 1880 maya
gines furnished and read, Ala pamph-
lets entitled "Friend or Enemy" READ
410' drinking cups, 1900 song sheets
and 116 rone books, checkers and
dominoes and First Aid Kit
donated by the W. C. T.. U. were
used by the men.
The letters and po5tal cards were
tremendously popular. Enthusiastic
patriotic and home song-fests kept
even the most dcwn-hearted happy;
something going on all the time. This
is the spirit in which the officers like
TO see the men come INTO the camps.
This is the spirit that the Y. NJ. c..
A. stands for right up to the "Front
Line Trench and "ovcr the Top" and
back again. Send your boys away
with cheer and smile.

DRAG THE ROADS


The Graded road can be kept in
the best condition with the least labor
by using the road drag. The road
drag scrapes off the projections and
fills up the low places thus leaving
no places for water to stand which
is what causes the road bed to soften
and be cut in nuts. A persistent use
of the road drag will keep the road
bed well crowned smooth and hard
and this will also result in the least
dust as the dust comes largely from
the grinding up of the ruts nd.roueh
places left by the horses feet.--Ex-
tension Div. Agr. College.

SHERIFF MEINnOvER
GRABS DESER!ER
DEsERTER FROM FORT RILEY IS
PICKED UP IN EhlMONS
COUNTY.

Julius Kruger, living south of Ros-
coe, is a deserter from Uncle Sans
Army. Kruger came to. Linton
Tuesday and registered at the Linton
House under the name Of Kelly, and
he was recognized by the clerk. The
clerk became suspicious, and reported
the matter to the sheriff. In the
meantime Kruger learned that he had
been detected and left town and re-
turned Wednesday morning and
boarded the north bound train. Sher-
if Meinhover got wise to the fact
and telephoned to Hazelton and had
him taken off the train and held until
he got there to bring him back. lie
was brought back Wednesday noon
and lodged in the county Jail where
he was questioned as to where he reg
istered. Kruger stated that his or
der number was SO, and that he had
not been drafted yet. The Local
Board said they would call up the
place where he registered and Kruger
then confessed that he deserted from
Fort Riley, Kansas.
Kruger will be held until word is
received from the Commander at Fort
Riley, and the chances are that he
will be returned to Fort Riley and
will have to face Court Martial and
in time of war deserters have to face
the firing squad, and there is nine
chances out of ten he will have to pa .
the supreme penalty.

Last year North Dakota dug out all
the barberry bushes. This year the

NINE MORE MEN FOR NAVY ENLISTED HERE

Naval Recruiting Officer John Sala- dino, in charge of the Warren district signed nine more men for service in the naval forces. This makes a total of 52 men secured in this district n the past three days and a total of 167 men that Saladino has enlisted here since March 4.
 The showing made by the Warren district compares more than favorably with that of other stations for that period and Saladino expects to secure more enlistments in the next two weeks. Boys who have become q years of age since last June are en- listing in large numbers in various branches of the naval service where they will be taught trades. Bisbee is ahead of all other stations in the state Of Arizona and the local naval recruiting officer hopes to keep this district in the lead

HELL MORGAN'S GIRL,"
 ORPHEUM BILL TODAY

The Orpheum theater presents an excellent bill today, a Bluebird fea- ture portraying life on the Barbavy coast in San Francisco. Incidents or the Frisco fire are also worked into the picture.
 This is a story of two characters strangely drawn together by fate. Hell Morgan runs a dance hall in San Fran cisco, and his daughter is a girl who longs for better circumstances and who aspires to a finer sort of life than she must lead because of her fathers occupation.
 Roger Curwell has been disowned by his father for the reason the boy has an inclination to art, while his father wants him to become a business man. Young Curwell falls a victim to drink, and in the artists quarters he meets Olga, model, who falls in love with him. Going from bad to worse as the result of drink, Curwell makes his way to Hell Morgan's resort and secures a position as piano player
 There is a politician named Sleter who covets Hell Morgan's daughter. but she disdains him. One night !n a party of artists who are stunning, Olga turns up at Hell Morgan's, sees Curwell, and sends for him to join her party. He'll Morgan's daughter is jealous and creates a scene, winding up by telling Sleter that she will be his wife.
 Morgan and Sleter quarrel, and Sleter is killed. This is the night of the great San Francisco fire. Among the refugees who occupy the public park. Lola and Curwell strangely meet an dare reconciled.
