A Primer OF
Compulsory Military
Training For High

l. What is compulsory military
training?
1t lis q. course of instruction in the
school of the soldier, the manual Of
arms, field operations. camp etiquette,
and first aid exacted of all boys of
high school n college age in order
that they may serve their country in
time of need.
2. Why do We need it?
We need it because it has been
made evident that We ought to have a
sufficient fighting force fully trained
and equipped to defend at a mo-
tions. ~
We need it also because we need a
better physical and moral manhood

The EXTRA SESSION
The of n

The governor of North Dakota has issued a procla.
nation calling for an extra session of the state legisla,
ture beginning on January %. The probability Of this
action was forecast in The Herald on TUESDAY, and the
proclamation was issued yesterday afternoon.
In the reasons for the calling Of the extra session
mention is made of several subjects which will in all
probability come up for action. but concerning which
there is no emergency which, Of itself, would warrant
the expense of an extra session. One of these is the TED.
ment may reasonably be expected from every state leg
islature at it's first session, but action taken at this time
by the legislature of North Dakota will not facilitate
matters in the least.
If the prohibition amendment is ratified it will be-
come effective one year from the date of its ratification
by the thirty-sixth state voting to ratify it. Most OF the
state legislatures will meet in regular session next win.
ter. Certainly thirty-six of them will not hold extra
sessions between now and then. hence, so far as that par
ticular subject is concerned, our legislature might az we'll
defer action until its regular session.
1t is understood. however, that the chief purpose in
calling the extra session is to provide for certain none.
tary matters. In the absence Of specific information to
the contrary we may be permitted to doubt that farmers
anywhere in the state are unable to obtain seed grain
without special legislation empowering their counties to
assume obligations in excess Of those now permitted
index the law. There have been in the past many cases
OF so-called seed famine, and there have undoubtedly
been some cases in some localities in which seed was not
as plentiful as might be desired. But we have yet 70
hear of a case in which q faemer~who had a place on
which to plant seed was unable 'to obtain all the seed
that he needed to plant. We apprehend that, in spite
of a lot of wild rumors to the contrary. the situation in
this as in former years could be taken carei Of withou,
the adoption of such an expensive remedy as an extra
session Of the legislature.
From various facts which have been coming to light
Of late 1t seems likely that the real nurnosA ~ fhA ArtrS
session is to provide additional funds for the operation
of the state government. The Townley administrator
was elected on a platform Of economy. It seems to have
slipped onthe platform. To the naked. eye its economic.
are imperceptible, The revenues are insufficient to meet
the demands, hence more money is desirable. It is no,
at all likely that that aspect ot-the case will be empha-
sized in any Of the cdheial pronouncements. But W.
hazard the suess that 4bstore the session is over it will
develop that the question OF funds for the ordinary ex-
penses OF the stats government is' the principal sub:sc,
before the assembly.

Whereas it is the duty Of all ma

of Almighty God, to obey His will, to
be grateful for His benefits, and hum

Whereas, both houses Of congress
have, by their joint committee, re-

people Of these states to the service
OF that great and glorious Being who
is the benef1cent author Of all the
good that was, that is, or that will be;
that we may then all unite in render
