Small Registration Is
Expected In Sioux Co.
Small Resistration Saturday Expected
BY Local Board. - September Date

ion to the Local Board.

county may register by mail, but
his registration card received from
another Local Board must reach

opted. 1t is announced in the press
dispatches from Washington that
the date for registering men from

Soldiers Dependents
Paid Now By 2 Checks
War Risk Bureau Changes System for
Making Payments to Soldisss De.
psndsnts 10 Announced

There has been a change in the
system Of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance Of the Treasury in the
matter of allotment and allowance
check. This results in some of the
checks sent out by the bureau being
for smaller sums than heretofore,
but the amounts omitted from the
checks sent out by the bureau will
be included in checks sent out from
other sources.
The new system will simplify the
work Of the bureau and is expect
ed to accelerate the payments Of
allotments and allowances.
( Prior to July last the War Risk
Insurance Bureau took the COM
pulsory allotment Of $15 a month
and whatever additional sum the
enlisted man chose to allot to his
family, and the whole amount, to-
gether with the Government allow
ance for dependence was included
in one check and sent out by the
bureau. Beginning with the July
pay the bureau will collect and send
=
out only the compulsory allotment
of $15 a month and the Govern.
ment family allowance.
The excess allotments over the
compulsory $15 a]lotments and the
allotments to persons not entitled
by law to allowances will not be
handled by the Bureau Of War Risk
Insurance, but by the War or Navy
Department, the Marine Corps, or
Coast Guard, according to the
branch ofsservice to which the en-.
listed man belongs.

Fuel Administration Explanation

Fuel Administration Explanation
Aided by the report Of coal sales
by local dealers and by the required
reports from wholesalers and mine
operators it is not difficult, with the
system now well in operation, to
trace excess charges. Such excess
charges are by no means evidence
Of illegal intent, in many cases they
are due to misunderstandings. And
in this connection the purpose of
the administration, aided hy the
local administration, is to trace all
excess charges on coal from the
original source Of coal to the ulti-
mate consumer.
/ A refund may be one of these two
things, a refund from wholesaler
who has made excess charges to a
retailer, OF it may be an estimated
amount as indicated by reports of
sales, Of excess charges from the
retailer to consumer. In either
case the amount Of the excess
charge takes the form Of a refund
in the checking-up. In the former
case the refund sent from a whole
saler to q retailer, by order from
Washington, does not belong to the
retailer personally, for he has al
ready added the amount to his re-
tail price. So the amount is cover
| ed by q check Of equal amount sent
by order from Washington to- the
local U. S. Fuel Administrator, who
| in turn turns over to some charity,
the amount and files a receipt az
voucher. In the latter refund the
amount legally belongs to the ulti-
mate. consumers, as it also does in
former case, But since the total
amount is small and would require
almost interininable figuring and
balancing to approximately find to
what persons it is legally due, it is
sent to the Red Cross and the
receipt filed as voucher. # peculiar
local conditions justify a local retail
rate above the regular rate this
should be represented to the local
administrator concretely and pre-.
cisely, and his recommendation in
1.-THE matter forwarded to head
Quarters. Refund money turned
lover to the Red Cross in South
Dakota has already amounted to
about $4,000, and there will bt
more when all matters are fully
/ adjusted.

Threshing Under Way
And Yields Run High
Early Thrs.hinf Rsturn. Indicate Good
Yields all Through Reservation In
North and South Oak.


The first threshing in the Fort
Yates neighborhood commenced
yesterday on the George Pleets farm
west Of town, which is farmed by
Chas. Bohe and Andy Raven un-
der q large lease. They have 200
acres Of wheat and about 15O acres
of fax. The wheat yield is re-
ported at from 10 to 20 bushel to
the acre and the average will be
about 15 bushel. No fax has yet
b,en threshed.

Yates and Mclaughlin. This land
he has bought at the Indian land
sales and has been a buyer Of
North and South Dakota Standing
Rock Indian reservation land since
the first sale was held at Fort
Yates about II years ago.
Ia conversation with the writer
Of this article Mr. Carlson said on
Sunday at the Majhor Hotel in
Mclaughlin, that he predicted
land tributary to Mclaughlin
would inside Of ten years sell at
from $50 to SIS per acre. and
possible more.
That Mr.. Carlson has faith in this
section Of the Dakotas is borne out
by his extensive investments and
the improvements he is making:
In addition to the farms he has
improved in the Mclaughlin
territory he recently let contract
for the breaking Of 1000 acres
seven miles south Of Fort Yates,
where he owns II quarter sections

tion in North Dakota. This land

this part Of North and South OAK
ota , Mr.. Carlson owns lapd in Texas.
Nebraska and Canada. His home
is at Edmore, North Dakota, and
he is rated as one Of the wealthiest
farmers in the state.
The records show that he has
ample cash to back his land deals.
He has no land for sale and every
thing on record is clear Of mortga-
ges, taxes and encumbrances.
Mr.. Carlson is good man for
this part Of the countrys He is an
optimist and farsighted. He has
accumulated a vast fortune by hard
work and judicious investments in
North and South Dakota land. !.

TAKE TIME TO LIVE RIGHT.

The season for good resolutions Is
approaching. Thousands are resolv-
ing to begin the New Year by COM
mencing some effort at self-improve-
ment.
Most people suffer from poor health
because they say ''they haven't time
to take care of themselves"
The business man knows he needs
exercise, but denies himself because
he hasn't time.
Most people run their lives in such
a slipshod fashion that they haven't
time to eat properly, to think proper
ly, and to rest properly.
And the result is that they die ahead
Of time because they haven't had time
to live properly.

Robert Adams did not resent the
straightforward talk Of his visitor. He
was just In a frame of mind where the
suggestions implanted might take root.
He nodded thoughtful adieu to his
relative and sat down alone to cogi-
tate. The postman appeared with a
letter from Mary and small bundle.
The former expressed the delight her
long-anticipated visit had brought to
her people. The package, opened, re-
vealed Mary's Christmas gift to him
half a dozen handkerchiefs and two
neckties. All Of them bore initials
or some ornamental needlework, and
his face softened as he realized how
many plodding hours his wife had de-
voted to the task to give him pleasure.
Then he smiled grimly. AS he fixed
his eyes on framed portrait of his
helpmeet his eyes grew tender. Then
they took to their depths dreamy
tinge. Before his mental vision passed
a series of pictures born of the vivid
suggestions of the day.
"Why, not?" he cried abruptly, COM

Stared fixediy at 4 Feminine Form.
Robert Adams visited carpenter
shop, the town paint store and other
places early the next morning. He
went to the hardware store and ex-
amined the latest In house trimmings.
He spent two hours, going over wall
paper stock. He asked each artisan he
consulted one uniform question "Can
you get the work all finished by New
Years ever"
He amazed the village tailor by or
dering his first suit in five years. He
was profitable customer for the bar
Der, who not only worked in a shave
and hair trim, but a shampoo and
half a dozen special unguents.
The renovated husband of Mary Ad-
ans dallied long at the mirror ere he
went out and took Dobbin out Of the
stable. The train was due at ten
o'clock, but it was New Years eve,
travel was heavy and all trains de-
lsyed, and it was well on toward mid
night when he craned his neck from
the sleigh and eagerly watched the
passengers alight.
An utterance Of disappointment
escaped his lips as passenger after
passenger left the platform. Then he
stared fixedly at q feminine form ar
rayed in neat velvet hat and pretty
plush coat. She had turned her face
toward the station light.
'Mary!" he cried, but unbelievingly,
as he viewed her strange attire.
"Oh, Robert!" she replied, and has
tened eagerly toward him, but halt

For the first time dur

B..
ned life Robert Adams helpmeet had
taken a vacation, or rather had gone

husband had begun to miss her woe
fully. So smoothly had life gone, SO
many burdens had Mary lifted from
his shoulders in her patient, plodding
way, that he missed her guiding. help

everything in trim order. The house
