Can ENFORCE
VACCINATION
School Officials Have Right
to Enforce Vaccination,
Says Judge Buttz.

Devils Lake. N. D., May Sin a
decision handed down yesterday, Dis
trict Judge c. w. Buttz upholds the
right Of school officials to enforce the
vaccination law. The decision was
in a case brought against the Devils
Lake board of education by DR.. w.
F. Rhea chiropractor, seeking to COM
pei the board to admit his son to
school without vaccination.
In opposing the law, DR.. Rhea's at
torneys cited decisions by the supreme
courts Of Michigan and Kansas, both
of which Judge Buttz held were not
to the point, in hat neither Michigan
or Kansas have state laws compelling
vaccination.
The judge based his decision on
Section 425 Of the compiled laws OF
North Dakota for 1913 as follows:
Vaccination required, when, each
parent, or guardian, having the care,
custody. Of control of any minor OF
other person, shall cause such minor
or other person to be vaccinated."
He also held that the state board
Of health in enforcing the law acted
within its authority conferred as fol.
lows:
The board has power to make and
enforce all needful rules and regula.
lions for the prevention and cure, and
to prevent the spread of any con.
tagious.' infectious or malarial dis.
eases among persons and domestic
animals"

DRAFT i SYSTEM

Counties Which Embrace
Good-sized Towns Favor
ed, Says Adjt-G General.

Bismarck. N. D.. May s.-Contend-
ing that the present system OF max
ing the draft for the national army
on a population basis works an In
justice to rural districts and particul-
arly to those communities which have
a large alien populations, Adjutant
General Fraser has placed himself
solidly on record in favor OF Provost
Marshal General Crowder's campaign
in each county made the basis for
selection.
THE present plan discriminates
against the counties whose population
is largely or altogether rural" said
General Fraser today. Counties
which embrace good-sized towns are
favored. The unfortunate result Of
this system is that our farming popu-
lation, which is most needed here at
home. is forced to yield the largest
percentage Of select service men. Bur-
leight county, with Bismarck to draw
upon, has sen SO many men that 1t Is
called upon to send none in the draft
of May rs; Grand Forks county is in
counties have substantial credits for
the next call, while Cass county will
send only 20 men at this time. On
the other hand. counties like Pembina,
almost entirely rural, and Mountrail
and Nelson are called upon to send
all the way from 80 to So men. Grand
Forks county has a p%opu1ation Of 3d.
418, and Cass is credited with 49,970,
in both instances more than fifty per
cent urban, while Pembina, with a.
635 people, and Mountrail with 49,
S48, and Nelson with 1857 are prob
ably IS per cent, at least, rural.
HIf tho n1nohat. NJ N1nSS nn0 mon IL
made the basis for selection, the farm
ing population is spared, and this is
as it should be. One man working in
the fields here a feed at least SO
men at the front with wheat and other
cereals. The man, in the fields here
at home. is fully a. important as the
man in the trenches v e there. Our
fighting men must come from the non
essential industries. at least so long
as there is an abundance of men in
this class to supply the need. which
only way that we car assure their
selection is by drawing our soldiers
from Glass l. until that division is ex-
hausted."
A table Just issued to county boards
by General Fraser, shows the popula-
ton in each county as estimated by
the war department. following the reg
%istration last June: the number Of men
which each county has furnished to

county will be called upon to send May

some good. Things of this kind simply
clutter up the average storeroom space
in the average home, accumulate dust,
and are in the way generally when
they might be useful elsewhere. It
would be a fine idea for every commu-
nifty if the contents of goodwill boxes
could be collected in one place either
for sale or distribution. and disposed
of once or twice year.
The money that has been salvaged
from useless old silver and gold
trinkets ought to inspire everyone who
possesses battered and uninteresting
things made of the precious metals to
convert them into bullion. Since the
war, women have unearthed all sorts
of old gold and silver ornaments. jew
elry and fiat wear, some of it afro
ciously ugly, and turned it in for
melting up. With the gold and silver
procured they buy War Savings
stamps. But even if they do not care
to invest it is worth while to turn use
less junk into money which can be put
to work and thereby made useful.

HOW TO TRANSFER BEES

The keeping of bees In box
hives or log '4gums" is unprofit-
able. The care that bees need
in order to gather a fair crop Of
/. honey can be given only if the
beekeeper Is able to examine the
the bees and to move the combs
as needed.
Probably one-third of all the
bees in the United States are in
hives without movable combs,
and to assist the owners of such
colonies to get them in proper
hives the United States depart
ment of agriculture has pre-
pared Farmers Bulletin 961,
Transferring Bees to Modern
Hives" Various methods are
given, some one of which will
be possible to any beekeeper, SO
that there is no reason for de-
lay in making the bees produc-
tive.
Unless the bees are properly
managed after transfer there is
little advantage in movable
frame hives. This requires a
study of beekeeping as well as
promptness and care. Direc-
tions for handling bees are given
in other publications of the de-
partment.

The week of December 16 to Deem
Der o Is roll call week for the Ameri-
can. Red Cross. This is a Christmas
call to the citizens of this country
to enlist in the Army Of Service. The
need for service is not abated by the
ending of the war-the need for serv-
ice will not be ended for long time
AT home and far afield the Red Cross
must continue the work of relieving
the suffering that follows in the wake
of the war. Refugees and orphans
are stin to be clothed and fed and
housed The antituberculosis cam
paign must be kept up and the fam
lilies of soldiers helped. Only a part
of the work of the Red Cross ends
with the cessation of hostilities.
The Christmas roll call has for its
object more than anything else the
enrolment of all adults as members
of the Red Cross and the appeal is
for 81 memberships. The canvass will
be mainly for this. The Red Cross
makes its appeal to- all, without re-
gard to creed, race, sect, faction or
class; it is one organization for uni
versal service based on sympathy and
humanity. OF course everybody that
is anybody wants to belong to 1t.

Whether it is because they are be-
coming or because an atmosphere of
luxury, and sometimes a suggestion of
splendor belongs to them, or that they
are so comfortable-every woman
loves furs. They may be excused for
extravagancies in this direction; there
are so many reasons why furs are u
better investment than any other sort
of apparel. Furriers have presented
a greater variety in scarf and muff
sets and in fur garments of all kinds
than is usual in one season and this
has made one more reason why furs
are everywhere. Their vogue is uni
versal.
Beginning with the short muller
collar and ending with the long coat,
one may buy wraps of any size be-
tween with muffs to match. The scarfs
or capes and muffs classed as sepa-
rate furs and sets, are made in all va
rieties of skins. Then there are the
short coats (their lame is legion) and
finally the long capes and coats that
almost cover the figure.
The separate furs-scarfs or small
capes with muffs to match|lead in
popularity. Recently hats trimmed
with the same fur or partly made of
1t, have added a chic, harmonious de-
tail to the midwinter toilette for the
street, but a scarf or cape looks well
with any sort of millinery. The hand
some mink scarf and muff shown in
the picture are designed for matronly
wearers and are good example of new
but staple styles that will Outlast
many seasons Tails as a finish for
scarf ends have been reinstated. but

Finding Good Ground Water.

Good ground water is the ideal sup
ply for farms, according to Farmers
Bulletin 941, water Systems for
Farm Homes" recently issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. II
Any farmer about to put down a
deep or expensive well, and who is
uncertain of the depth and the guam
tity or quality of the water likely to
be encountered, should describe fully
the location and conditions of his
project to national or state geological
authorities and ask for advice. Times
without number, wells have been sunk
to great depths in the belief that
eventually a plentiful supply would
be reached, only to find that water
was not there, or that it was unfit for
use, or that mere hole or stump had
been created which served but to
drain water from relatively near the
surface. There is no short cut and
no better guide in this matter than
information as to the kind, thickness,
porosity, and dip of tbc strata of the
region and of the results obtained in
neighboring wells, study of the land
slopes and character of the vegeta-
ton, and examination for evidences
OF SeepS and springs.
Regarding the use of a forked will
low, hazel, or peach stick for locating
underground water, it can be said
safely the method is without merit,
although so-called forked-stick artists
from their experience and observation
CT surface conditions usually are bet
ter able to judge of the probabilities
of ground water than is the average
person not thus trained. So also,
there is little to recommend certain
patented automatic water finders
which are based upon the possible,
but largely conjectural, proposition
that electrical exchanges between the
earth and atmosphere are stronger in
the vicinity of subterranean waters.
