shakable friendship, loyalty and
with which we are about to be more

have unanimously stated, which
threaten no one and which aim at a

NORTH DAKOTA
MEN APPLY FOR

Fifty Have Passed Com

Been Sent Overseas

Seventy-five North Dakota men
have applied for places in War Y. M,
c. A. work, according to the report
made Friday by the executive state
personnel committee Of the Y. NJ. c.
A., composed Of w. L. Stockwell,
president; H. w. GeGarey, H. F.
Emery, H. P. Beckwith and H. Har-
rington. who secure and handle all
applications for enlistment in the
Y. M. c.. A. service first North .Da-
kota.
To date so applications have been
cleared through the committee, most
Of them having been sent to SER
vice overseas, and at the Friday ses-
sion rs more applications were up
for consideration.
There is a great demand for high
class business men, musicians, ath-
letes, Canteen men and others with
like experience in this work now,''
said Mr.. Stockwell, for the Nation
al Y. NJ. c. A. wants 5000 men for
service before September l. General
Pershjng has turned over 10 the Y.
M. c. A. all canteen work at the
front in France, while the Red Cross
has charge Of the Canteen work at
the railroad stations and hospitals

women in this work have not yet
been worked out but are expected
within a few days"
Mr.. Stockwell corrected that i'm

things they sell. There is absolute
ly no flour to be had and the bread
allowance per person, which one gets
and sometimes does not, is one-half
a pound daily for the proletariat and
one eighth Of q pound daily for the
bourgeois. The bread is black and
heavy and it's ingredients cannot be
Identified. Sugar cannot be obtained
in the shops. In the homes horse
meat dried cabbage and what bread
Is available form the principal diet
for the majority. Eggs, butter and
milk are high in price and extremely
scarce.
Huge Income Needed.
Formerly an income of 200 rubles
q month was comparative Opulence.
Now, according to the best estimates
available, it costs from $500 to 5000
rubles a month to maintain a family
Of three in anything like comfort.
Most Of the families in Petrograd,
even with wages soaring, have less
than 1000 rubles a month. But even
the wealthy suffer hunger pangs be-
cause transportation is crippled and
the city is cut off from the Ukraine,
it's principal flour and sugar pro-
ducing territory and from the nearby
Finnish and Baltic communities that
once supplied 1t with butter, milk,
eggs and vegetables.
In the citys largest hotels, some
formerly among the show places Of
Europe, there is no electric light, no
elevators, no hot water and, general
ly, no food. One provides always
his own bread and must keep it under
lock and key. A dinner in one Of the
better class restaurants today costs
40 rubles.
But the city struggles on. Now
desperately and now nonchalantly it
strives to adapt itself to the topsy-
turviness Of present life.

Bismarck, N. D., July 27.-When

was found that the board had too
many men on it's hands. The Off
cial called for five volunteers who
would be willing to stay at home.
Not a single man stepped forward.
The board then found it necessary
to personally select five farmer boys
whose services at home during the
harvest are fully as important as
they could be in any other field, and
70 insist that they remain at home
The boys proved themselves good
soldiers by obeying orders, even
though 1t was very evident that they
were bitterly disappointed. This Is
the spirit which has been shown by
all Burleigh draftees to date.
