Junior Red Cross Fund
Approaching$500Mark
Normal School Budget)

The Junior Red Cross fund in
Barnes county has grown to $3.50, ac-
cording to the statement Of Prof.
T. Goodier, supervisor Of the Normal
Training school and chairman of the
county committee. This is the actual
sum Of money turned in to the COM
mittee. It is understood that several
schools in the county have not yet
reported.
One rural school in Barnes county
has forwarded SIS, the proceeds of a
basket social. The Uxbridge con-
solidated school, Frank Green, prin-
cipal, has forwarded $62, and thus far
is the second highest contributor to
the fund in the county.
The following schools have quail
fled as auxiliaries: Miss Harriet
Lockhorst's school near Sanborn, an
other school in charge of Miss Aurora
Faust, the Leal school, the Noltimier
consolidated school, the Uxbridge
consolidated school, a rural school at
Hastings in charge Of Miss Agnes
Velure, the Lucca school, and ru-
raj school near Cuba. The sums sent
by these schools represent a total
amount of twenty-five cents for each
pupil enrolled.
Many other schools about the
county have sent smaller amounts and
have not yet qualified as auxiliaries.

City Night School
Began Last Monday

1t is expected that classes will be
conducted three times a week, the
work being divided into three forty
minute class periods between 1880
and $50, the days and hours to be
set to accommodate teachers and stu
dents as far as possible. It should be
noted that there is no tuition charge
this year, books and supplies being
the only expense.
Any one over 16 years of age who
is interested should come. If there
is sufficient demand classes will be
organized in any subject within the
range of equipment and teaching
force. Foundation work and citizen
ship, for persons of foreign birth is
so essential that the school will ac-
cede to a smaller demand than for
other work. However, special consid
Grafton will be given to those who
for any reason have had but limited
schooling. In the advanced work the
variety of opportunity will be just as
great except that larger classes will
be expected.
Those in group one of the last
paragraph, and many Of those in
SIOup CWO, Will IlOC 1CdO Iiio oL1tC-
ments personally. If they are to
come to school some one must tell
them that there is such a school and
encourage them to come. Will each
reader then perform that service for
any one who he thinks would do well
in this school, Not only foreigners
but persons who have out-groWn the
day-schools or who are too busy to
attend day-school, should come. Get
ahold of them. tonight; and send them
over.
This is to be a business school for
people of every grade, so no one
will be embarrassed by his surround
ings. The teachers have been very
adaptation to this kind of work. A
carefully chosen for their special
working knowledge Of both oral and
written English, and some principles
and ideals of our government and in
situations, are indispensable to active
citizenship, so at bottom the school is
organized for patriotic purpose.

Sherris Months Big
Musical Attraction

The Toronto Globe accused Marley
Sherris with having brains and using
them. Aside from this he has been
endowed with an especially rich, re-
sonant and flexible voice, together
with interpretative gifts at the high
est order and magnetic personality.
From this it is readily understood
how his singer has forged his way in
to the front ranks of Canadian artists.
While Mr.. Sherris has toured the
length and breadth Of Canada, being
received everywhere with acclaim,
this is his first tour of the states.
Those who know him and his work
feel confident that through the artists
sincerity, his capabilities, and his
rich natural endowments he will
make place for himself in this coun-
try as large as that accorded him in
the provinces to the north of us.
Marley Sherris will appear in re-
cital in the Normal school auditor
ium on Monday evening, Jan. IA. :.

FRENCH TAKE LESSONS IN
KINDNESS FROM SAMM1ES

Paris, Dec. 9.-French horses in
general, and Partisan ones in particu-
lar, look on "Sammy's' advent as a
blessing. For since he has appeared
on the scene, many poor nag n, has
been rescued from i'll treatment. The
newspapers are constantly publishing
accounts of American soldiers help
ing a fallen horse to get up and put
ting a stop to the ruthlessness of the
driver, in many cases some raw
youth, whose only idea of getting the
horse to obey him is to thrash him
without mercy
1t is therefore double satisfaction
to know that the example of Amerl-
can and British soldiers in interfer-
ing and lending assistance to fallen
horses has resulted in the police au-
thorities taking stricter measures to
enforce the law for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, known here as
the "Loi Grammont.'

single men and married men with
independent incomes most of the
weight Of military duty, for the ag-
gregate number Of men in the other
divisions of the class is very small.
Exceeds Expectations
General Crowder finds that the
first draft surpassed the highest ex-
pectations Of the friends Of the Sc
lective service idea. He pays high
tribute, not only to the thousands Of
civilians who gave ungrudging ser
vice to making the plan success, but
also to the high patriotism of the
American people as a whole.
Few Evaded Draft
Analysing the first draft, General
Crowder show that 9,586,508 men be-
tween the ages Of 81 and 81 years
registered themselves. Up to late. in
December only $3.50 arrests had been
made of those who had sought to
evade registration and of that num-
Der 1888 were released after having
registered and there remain only 1905
cases to be prosecuted.
The report declares that in the final
analysis of the records, it will be
shown that only. .00026 Of one per
cent of the men within draft age
evaded registration.
There was evident some variation
of practice among the states on the
question of exempting married men.
A total of 1915 married men have
been certified for service In Mis-
sissippi the boards held 38 per cent of
all married men called for service; in
Wisconsin and North Dakota only
eight per cent were held. After fur
Their study of the results it is expect
ed efforts will be made to unity the
practice Of boards more closely in
this regard.
Montana led among the states in
the number Of men called, who filed no
claim for exemption. Figures for that
state show that so per cent Of men
called up were ready to go to the
front. Kentucky had the greatest
number Of exemption claims, 81 per
cent of all men called filing affidavits.

ALI Camps but One
Have Winter Coats

Washington, Jan. 4. Overcoat
shortages at national guard and ma
tional army training camps were re-
ported ended except at Camp Beaure-
gard, La, by Secretary Baker in a
further response today to the senate
military committees resolution urg
ing immediate steps to provide the
soldiers with adequate winter cloth
ing. Many Of the camps are still
short of wooden blouses which the
secretary said were particularly hard
to obtain.
Comfortable Now

department latest telegraphic ,ad-
vices from the division commanders.

local purchases have been authorized,

:. mittee's resolution, were reported up
on in detail. Of a total shortage Of
1850 overcoats, Camp Beauregard
needed 1O,863. A deficiency of about
$4,000 blouses was scattered among
IS posts.
Blames Expectation
Blame for delay in furnishing Win
ter garments was placed by the secre-
tary partially upon the supply, but
largely upon the expectation situa-
ton. His report showed shortage
in only one western camp, as follows:
Camp Kearney, CAL, overcoats none,
blouses $1,000. ..
At Camp Jackson, S. c., and
Greene, CAL, supplies of both over
coats and blouses we're reported suf-
ficient. Bedding supplies. were said
to be adequate at all camps.
49,: Expressed Coats ~
To meet the overcoat shortage at
Camp Beauregard, Secretary Baker
said 22,300 had been expressed De-
cember 26. He told also of a recent
shipment of 600 overcoats to Camp
Custer, 10000 blouses to Camp Fun
ston, 1000 blouses to Camp Wads-
worth, 1000" overcoats and 5000
blouses to Camp Dix.

supply of meat in London that the
first meatless day is expected for
large number of inhabitants during
this week end. Retail butchers today
crowded the wholesale markets in an
attempt to obtain supply for their
customers, but the majority of the
dealers met with disappointment.
The government has released 5000
carcasses of lamb, but this supply is
reserved for distribution among
butchers in the poorer districts. The
west end butchers have been told to
advise their customers to eat fowl,
game and fish until meat conditions
are improved.
