When Jackson County is called up- on she responds promptly, always with her full quota. Saturday, May 18th, she will send fifty more of her young men to Camp Pike to go m training for the Great American Ma tional Army" Germany, the enemy we are fighting, is not only the enemy of the United States and her allies, but the enemy of civilization, Chris tianity, Democracy and Progress.
 Our fight is not only to malntan our own freedom and national honor, but to free the world from autocratlc rule and militarism, which the kaiser and his war lords would thrust upon us.
 Realizing fully the magnitude of the undertaking and the cause of their call to the colors, our boys go, willingly, eagerly, ready and anxious to go across, to fight in the greatest war in the worlds history under the "stars and stripes" for the cause of humanity and to make the world safe for democracy.
 With hondreds of our boys already in the army and navy, some of them already on the firing line and more i leaving every week, there are very 1 few families in the county that are not directly or indirectly represented in some branch of the service.
 Below is list of names of persons who are in the next contingent for Camp Pike, Ark, from Newport, Ar kansas, who are due to leave here on the 25th day of May, 1918:

Beaver Season Has Opened.

The beaver trapping season is now
on, the season having opened Jan. 10.
Already a number of beaver pelts
have been marketed in the Minot fur
houses. One man brot in five pelts
one day this week, but they were not
prime, it being quite evident that the
beaver had been trapped long before
the season opened. A prime beaver
pelt is worth from six to eight dol
lars, says one Minot fur dealer. Some
eastern fur dealers quote $12 for ex-
ira large prime beaver pelts, but this
is just a dodge to get the business,
for who is to be the judge as to what
an extra large prime pelt really is?
There arc any number Of beavers to
be caught in the vicinity Of Burling-
ton where these animals have done
great damage to the standing timber.
