IS ANNULLED

A new list of Clay county selected
men, who will leave on May 25 for
Camp Lewis, American Lake. Wash
ington, is being prepared today by
| the Clay county local board. The list

Agricultural grounds has been an
nulled under the following order re-
ceived today from the office Of Ad-
jutant General Rhinow by the Clay
county local board at Moorhead.
Deferred Class Order Annulled.
'Inasmuch as the spring work and
seeding are practically completed all
boards are requisted to utilize under
call No. 384 (for entrainment May 25)
as many Of the registrants as pos
sible whose inductions were delayed
on account of the permission given
in circular B-80> deferred call on
agricultural grounds.l
"Of course, local boards will deal
with this matter in accordance with
local conditions, but in a great many
cases you will find that the cause for
having previously delayed the in
duction of registrants for agricuL-
tural reasons has by this time been
alleviated for the reason that the
principal work of the spring having
been accomplished, the registrants
will not be needed until the harvest.
IF at harvest a necessity exists in
your locality for the return of some
Of these soldiers, redress can be had
through form 1885 which provides for

WHAT CICOTTE
SAYS OF CRICKET.

An English sportsman who was
resting at Mineral Wells was
much interested in the Chicago
White Sox, and in Eddie Cicotte
especially. He had heard that Ci--
cote was the leading pitcher of
the American league last season
and couldn't understand why an
athlete apparently so short, could
be such a marvel.
on being introduced one day
this Englishman asked Cicotte If
he ever took part in any other
line of sports. 20, yes" replied
the pitcher Tn quite fond OF
deer and bird hunting and also in
driving a car"
An, that is excellent" said the
EngIishman. And may inquire
If you ever play cricket"'
"Cricket! That's a bug game,
responded Cicotte.
TO this day the Englishman
doesn't know what Cicotte meant
by his reference.

RUTHls BIG HITTING.

Hugh Dury, holder Of the
highest batting average ever re-,
corded in either of the major
leagues, says that Babe Ruth OF
the Boston Red Sox hits a ball
harder than any other player in
fast company. A part OF Ruth's
success is due to confidence in
himself. He firmly believes that
he can hit all kinds of pitching.
He has made so many tremend-.
Gus drive off the best boxmen
that he is regarded with feelings
of apprehension whenever he
toes the plate. Ruth is a young
giant in strength, and has q
good eye. He seldom swings at
wide balls, and whenever he con-
meets squarely with his big bat
there's something doing. AS a
slugger, the husky Bostonian is
in Class IA.

Tells Why Amendment Is.
Opposed by Employees of
Agriculture Department

Reasons why the proposed Borland
amendment is opposed by employees in
the Department of Agriculture are con-
tanned statement issued by e.
J. Newmayer. secretary treasurer OF
the National Federation of Federal EN-
p1oyes. Mr.. Newmyer is an employe Of
the Department of Agriculture.
The Borland amendment, according to
the statement. is unnecessary. unjust.
discriminatory: is based on misinforma
tion, is inconsistent and is in direct
conflict with the recommendations
made by the Council of National De-
Tense concerning the hours of labor.
The statement further says:
According to the daily press. certain
distinguished gentlemen have stated
that if the employees in Washington
do not like their Jobs they can quit; ;
that II our boys in the trenches are
required to work twenty-four hours the
ject to working eight hours and that
back home who are willing to come to
Washington and take the jobs here ::
and IF the employees in Washington
should object to working eight hours
they should be interned along with the
rest OF the alien enemies In other
words, merely because we exercise our
inalienable right. as American citizens
to object to the proposed law, which We
believe to be unjust, the attempt is
made to question our loyalty. Now
let US examine the record as to the
loyalty of the employees in the Depart
ment OF Agriculture"
