HAAK0N CALLS EIGHTY MEN
FOR PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

The local exemption board,
acting on instructions from the
Adjustant Generals Office at
Watertown, early last week call
ed eighty of the Class A. men for
physical examination in this
county, to the end that the men
might be ready to report for
transportation to one of the
army cantonments upon twenty
four hours notice. Notices were
sent out asking the men to re-
port at Philip for such physical
examination at once. Late
came telegram from the
Adjutant General asking that
physical examination be suspend
ed until further regulations and
blanks are furnished by the War
Department. 1t was impossible
to get this notice to the men, and
at the present moment it is the
intention of the local board to
proceed with examinations as
men present themselves.

PHILIP SCHOOLS 6IvE JUNIOR
RED CROSS entertainment

The pupils and teachers of the
Philip schools gave an entertain
ment Friday evening, February
lst, at the opera house, which
was attended by one of the larg.
est crowds that have assembled
in Philip this winter. The pro-
gram was very interesting, and
those present join in a general
chorus voting the affair a great
success.
Aside from the creditable mu.
sic furnished by the High School
Orchestra, the drill by twelve
high school girls, and the singing
by the High School Glee Club,
the program fell into two distinct
parts. The first of these was a
pagent, The Story Of the Amer
ican Flag" contributed by the
pupils of the grades. The man.
ner in which this historical theme
was presented did infinite credit
to the youngsters. The presen-
tation of this patriotic paeent
was in itself sufficient to justify
the existence of the local Junior
Red Cross.
Following this number by the
grades came a play by the High
School, Somewhere in France"
a stirring two act drama of the
world war. 1t is not necessary
to reherse the story of the play,
or to comment on the individual
work of those who took part. 1t
was full of merit, and pleased the
audience immensely.
The affair was a financial suc-
cess, of course. Roughly speak
ing a net sum of approximately
sixty dollars was realized for the
Red Cross work which the school
has under way.

RED
CROSS
NEWS

Mary Pickford will appear in a
Romance of the Redwoods" at
the Gem Theatre in Philip on
February 18th and 18th under
the auspices of the Haakon coun-
ty Red Cross. Friends of the
work have arranged with Mana
ger Brown for the use of his the
ater on these two nights, so the
entire proceeds 60 to the benefit
of the Red Cross. Admission
will be twenty and thirty-fve
cents.
Brown county boldly claims to
be the banner Red Cross county
in the state. Brown county is
fortunate in having a millionaire
for the chairman of its chapter,
yet the percentage of its popula-
ton enrolled is no larger than
that of Haakon county. The ac-
tual volume of work turned out
by a city like Aberdeen is, of
course, many times that of a
county like Haakon. Considered
on the basis of population again
the discrepancy might not be so
great. Brown county has four
teen branches and auxiliaries,
H a k n county has sixteen.
While the others are making
their claims, it may not be be-
yond the demands of modesty to
say that Haakon county claims
the largest number of subordin-
ate organizations of any chapter
in the state.
Several articles arrived at the
Philip headquarters too late to be
included in the recent shipment
to Minneapolis. A few others
were left out simply because the
shipping case would not contain
them. These will be included
and reported in the next ship
ment. The following branches
were represented in the shipment

THE JUNIOR RED CROSS
Announcement comes from
Northern Division headquarters
to the Haakon chapter that the
period from February IL to
February % inclusive has been
designated by the War Council
of the American Red Cross for a
great and intensive effort to en-
roll all public as Junior Red
Cross auxiliaries. The slogan
for the campaign is every school
a red cross auxiliary and a
center for national service
Haakon county must do its
share, of course, in this cam
paign. . A committee will be
appointed this week to have
general supervision of the work
in the country. But we must
finally rely upon our teachers
and school officer to take an
active hand in this work. A
school is enrolled as an auxiliary
as a unit, that is the entire
school is enrolled. The first
thing that needs to be done in
effecting a junior organization is
to raise a total sum of money
equal to twenty-five cents for
each pupil in the school. This is
as an evidence of good faith and
serious purpose and is intended
to arouse the interest of pupils
and parents. This entire sum
is retained by the school auxiliary
and used by it in its work. As
soon as this sum is raised, if the

ment blank, it will be furnished
by return mail. AS soon as the
blank is filled out and sent to
Northern Division headquarters,
a manual of instructions for the
work will be sent to the school.
1t is a good plan to elect the
teacher of the school either as
treasurer or chairman of the
school auxiliary.

RESISTING SERVICE.

Whether it be through the crude and open process of the ignorant mountaineer who fled to the hiding places he knows, or whether it be through the artful schemes of the city man, resistance of any service that may be exacted of you, is not going to avail anything.
 The roundup Is on In the city hundreds are being located now every day. Officers of the government have little time now to make ,na rounds they were sure to make sooner or later The city draft evader thought that he was beating the game because nobody came excitedly tor him when he first tucked the issue He knows now that the processes of the government are slow-but sure.
 The eyader who lives In the remote section is also finding out that his was not primrose path. and that the long arms Of the government are now reaching to his hiding place.
 There is no place where draft re sister or evader of duty can find sale lodgment. There is no place where he will not be open to the scorn of others and finally to capture.
 Punishment is severe, because 1t Is lasting. The two or the ten or the twenty years that may be the sen tence does not cover all. The penalty goes to the family of the guilty. The punishment is blight to the nams. The penalty is enc that invites tho scorn of even the other prison in mates. For 1t Is said that draft re- sister in the penitentiaries now is not even regarded as an equal by tae other prisoners. who may have com mitted some crime in heat of passion but who love their country and would fight for it if free.
