COOPERATIVE
SHOOK TROOPS

Yesterday the "shock troops" from
the Peoples Cooperative Trading
Company, headed by J. V. Johnson,
made an attack under heavy bar
rage on the field of Martin Krug,
southeast of the city. The assault
was timed for $3.50 and promptly on
time the first line of trenches were
reached and the boys from that time
on until 4:30 kept at the enemy until
the last shock on the 12O acre field
had been stood right side up. The
company then took a sneak to the
schoolhouse and sat down to await
further developments from Krug.
Krug was shocking in barley field
short distance away and happening
to look around could discover no
shocking troops in action. He hustled
out Of that barley field and after an
enveloping movement came up on
the bunch sitting in fancied security
in the shadow of the school house
Johnson, who was spokesman for the
party, tried to explain that they were
only waiting for Krug to come along
and give them more work to do. Mr.
Krug replied "damit, you have done q
good days work." at the same time
writing each man a check for SIS fol
about seven hours work. In addition
to this Mrs. Krug furnished the boys
fine dinner and the happy farmer
expressed his pleasure and delight al
the good work done bly, the shocking
troops from the Peoples Cooperative
Trading Company's store. Mr.. Krug
/! intimated that he had rather beer
looking on these town crews as sort
of joke but he was now convinced
that they were "darned good workers
and clever fellows" Among those in
the troop were J. V. Johnson, A., w
Scott, C. S. Putnam, H. A. Alexander
John Johnson, w S. Ferguson and
Christ Norgaard.

DIR. MACDONALD
SMILES LOUDLY

Why shouldn't DR.. Macdonald smile
out loud when he sizes up the atmos-
pheric conditions this morning and
knows that he has 280 acres of his
fine crop on his farm 20 miles north
east of here standing nicely in the
shock instead of lying on the ground.
Any farmer like DR.. Macdonald would
smile. 1t all came about this way.
There is a bunch of fellows in town
here who had been itching to show
the world at large they would work if
it were necessary to do so to help win
this war and they have been proven
efficient. Here is the bunch. M. J..
Boyd, E. H. Swanson, Oscar Dahl, Vic
Swanson, Martin Peterson, r. Jor-
genson, o. M. Roe, Chance Picolel,
VIM. Mcdonald, F. w. Matz, Joe
Brady, w. J. Carroll, Chas: Davis, Dr..
Paul Featherstone, H. C. Dwight, G..
E. Thayer, Ross Hardwick, Art
Wiles and Jesse R. Marquisee.
We have always felt that Hardwick,
Carroll, Swanson and few real work
ers would work but who ever thought
Doc Featherstone, M. J. Boyd, Oscar
Dahl and fellows in their class would
work-there is not a man in Valley
City who would swear to an affidavit
to that effect-but say, they fooled us
this time. DR.. Macdonald will put up
both hands and swear to it because he
sat in his limousine and watched them
do it, and he knows. Seriously though,
these boys just tore into that grain in
great shape and shocked up 280 acres
from 3:15 until $3.50. Mrs. Macdon-
aid and Mrs. Floyd Runyon fed these
chaps abundantly while DR.. Macdon-
aid and Floyd Runyon saw to it that
the irrigation plant on the farm was
kept running for the quenching of the
thirst of the boys-and some OF them
sure had thirst and don't you forget
it. Doctor hauled out some cases OF
non-toxo and cigars and the day was
one continual round Of pleasure as
we'll as work and Messrs. Macdonald
and Runyon appreciate very much the
splendid services rendered. It is work
like this that sort of creates a better
feeling all around at the same time
it is helping to tide over a shortage
of help that would otherwise en-
barass the farmers in getting their
crops taken care of.

NEW REGISTRATION
NEEDED BY SEPT. Is

Washington Aug 19.-Plans for
registration early in September of the
100000 to be made subject to mill
tary service by the proposed draft ex-
tension act and for calling out the first
installment on Oct. have been out
lines by Provost Marshal General E.
H. Crowder. It is estimated the new
classes will provide 100000 fighting
men. ! %....,~. ,.....s. e..
General Crowder's plans are contin-
gent on enactment by Aug. 81 of the
new draft legislation. Unless con-
gress acts by, that time, permitting
registration and classification in Sep
TENDER, it will be impossible, General
Crowder asserts, to avoid, breaking
into class 2 of draft fegistrants.
by Oct. L." General Crowder
warns, "class 1 will be exhausted. Un-
less there is to be serious interrupt
ton of the flow of American troops to
the camps and thence across the seas,
class l must be, replenished at the
earliest possible moment BY available
men both below and above the pres
mt age limits" ,,.,.' i
General Crowder points out the new
lge limits covered. by the bill before
congress include in addition to men
within the present limits, those be-
tween 81 and 46, or ID annual classes,
and those between Is and 81, or three
annual classes.
These limits were suggested by the
war department." said General Crow
der, because the manpower program
requires the reservoir of class l men
be replenished by more that 100000
for full military service. To do so
on the basis of actuarial figures from
insurance companies, census computa
tions and experience, of this Office in
previous registration, it has been esti-
mated, approximately 100000 more
men must be registered.
''If the bill as introduced is passed
it will be necessary between the day
of its passage and Oct. to register
and begin to classify by QUESTIONABLE
Is 100000 men, or approximately one
and one-third as many men as were
registered June S, 1917. When this
has been done draft calls on the new
class men must start at once to fill
the places in the training camps.
IF the bill is passed by Aug. 81
registration day might be as early as
Sept. 5 or shortly thereafter. To have
the first installment, of class 1 ready
for camp by Oct. l it would be neces.
sary to conduct registration not later
than Sept. 15." ...,... 81.

KAISER IN CAESARS CLASS
Trying to Cruelty Civilization as the
Romans Did Christ.

Allentown, Pa, Julie 10.-That the
kaiser in the present war is trying
to cruelty civilization, just as the
Roman empire was responsible for
the crucifixion OF Christ, was the as
sertion Of Rev. DR.. Ernest P. Plat
teicher, of Reading, yesterday, in the
baccalaureate sermon which marked
the opening of the fifty-frst COM
mencement exercises of Muhlenburg
College.
Going down the long trail of his
tory, DR.. Pfatteicher declared that the
building OF empires always had nailed
men to the crosses. The kaiser now
has the spear in the side of mankind,
he said, and the wounds and sorrows
of the people of the earth at the pres
ent day are the result of the kaiser's
ambition for world dominion. That
the ideal of Christ will conquer in the
great conflict was the prophecy of the
speaker, revealed by the rapid soidi-
fving OF the entire world against the
vaccination CT the Teutonic powers.

known newspaper man here. After
telling of an unsuccessful Hun attack,
he says:
"They were driven back. Our boys
followed and came across piles OF
their dead, the bodies still being
warm. We were worn out with g
long bombardment and began to look
for drinking water. One of the boys
noticed canteens on the bodies of the
dead Germans and took one of them
off with the idea Of getting water.
"When he took a swallow he found
it was strong rum. a more venture
some one decided to taste the stuff
more thoroughly He had not swal-
lowed it long before he became raw
ing maniac, with a crazed desire to
kill every one he saw. 1t was then we
the rum had been drugged."
