The question itself shows you mis-

Bolshevilii, whatever their ultimate
objects were, in fact, assisting our

that hundreds Of thousands of Ger

themselves against our men on the

WASHBURN SCHOOL
RESUMES CLASSES

Washburn, N. d., Dec. 19.-The
Washburn school has opened again,
with most promising attendance,
and from present prospects it looks
that the pupils will be able to carry
their work through from now on until
next July All the other town schools
in Mclean county are also in oper-
alton again, while practically all the
rural schools are open. To catch up
for lost time, nearly all the schools
will dispense with any Christmas holi-
days.
The epidemic seems to have spent
its force in this county. Washburn
itself has been quite fortunate in this
regard. Practically all the cases have
been mild. Not more than three FAM
lilies are now affected.
Only two deaths have occurred in
Washburn on account of the disease.
The victims were Floyd Lathrop and
Filbert A. Gallaghan. The latter, a
vel! known business man, died after
a fight against pneumonia for four
teen days.

on their arrival here, that there amt
going to be any core.
w. j. Prater, it is understood, has

remove the distribution Of patronage
from the hands of the senators and
representatives, who will have moth

to legislate and attend league eau
causes. Another result will be a de-
cided pruning Of the payroll, and a
saving of $1,000 or more in wages.
The North Dakota assembly, in
common with the legislatures of other
states, has always sported number
of purely ornamental jobs as means
of reWarding constituents who did
good work during the campaign.
There have been four or more SER
geants at arms, and as many watch
men for both houses; there have been
postmasters for each house and mes
sengers and pages and. clerks at large
and a whole regiment of committee
clerks, each drawing his five dollars
per diem or noctum, as the case might
be.
These legislative auxiliaries have
added much to the gaiety of the ses-
sion. There has been an abundance
of fresh, attractive, frivolous young
ladies, and fine crop of good dancing

He had been to Deadwood several days
before he was found dead, and is be-

His body was found by a prospector
named Anderson. who chanced to pass
the Nugent home, and. but observing
the old man about as usual, made an

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made

Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-

readily by its trade name, LUCKY

The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-

enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news

through the Red Cross Society to the boys

This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes

WHEAT PRICES FIXED
BY PRESIDENT WILSON.

President Wilson has fixed the price
of the 1918 wheat crop ranging from
81 to 1928 bushel at the principal
markets. The price was previously
set by congress at So a bushel, but
there has been considerable agitation
lately in congress to make the price
$3.50 to So. The price as fixed by the
president just recently is practically
the same as prevailed for the 1917
crop. The Chicago price will be 1920
a bushel. The president counted on
the loyalty which the farmers will
accept the present decision, and to
aid them in this work he expressed
the hope that local draft exemption
boards will make the classification
with a view to tightening the load up
on the farmer to the utmost extent
The government will also work out a
plan whereby men of agricultural ex-
perience will be furlOughed home
from camps during the planting and
harvesting season in order that short
age in farm labor can be minimized.

PATRIOTIC HILLSBORO BOY

and when he was asked about what
class he ''drew" in the QUESTIONABLE
he stated that he was in class 5.
Asked how he managed to land in that
one he intimated that it was his Gin

the other young registrants became
both busy and noisy; they ripped and
raved over the injustice done and
things were shaping up for general
remonstrance against the ruling when
it occurred to one of the dissatisfied
ones that it might be we'll to examine
the record. This was done, and the
joke was in the revealed fact that
the young man had waived all claims
for exemption and periodically took
his place in class l. A. The fellows
