much time for writing. ! am certainly
very sorry that l could not be there

of the best times | have ever had, has
been at the Camp Fire parties. But the
war will be over some day and the old
gang" that used to raid the Camp Fire
feeds will return and We will all tell how
many Germans we have killed, etc.

it greatly.

After mess the men police up the camp

Plans for the Draft.

Washington, u c., Sept. l0.-Proyost
Marshal General Crowder said that the
national selectiye service machinery
must speed up operations Immediately
to make it possible to get men from the
new Is to As registration on the way to
the army cantonments by the end of
October.
Outlining changes in methods adopted
to that end, General Crowder said ques-
tionnaires would 90 out to regstrants
before the drawing has been conducted
to determine their order of call, and
that local boards would be urged to com
mence classification Immediately.
Questions relating to the order of call
and to the time of drawing General
Crowder set aside in discussing the sub
ject leaving only the intimation that
these would be announced shortly.
General Crowder said, after explain
ing that few class l men from the Au
gust oath registration would be available
to fill early October calls, makes it nee
essary to look forward to substantial
speeding up in the work of the local
board, so draftees IS to 45 years old may
go in October"
To accomplish this, locy, boards are
asked to see that the return of the cards
from registrauts is as prompt rs possi-
BILE, and thereafter that the process of
assigning serial numbers to the cards is
FASTENED. 1t may be possible to hold
the drawing on October 2nd, Crowder
explained, but it can not be started un-
til the lists of serial numbers have been
completed by all boards
By January lst, the General conclud-
ed, it is hoped that the class dcation OF
the nation will be completed and the
man-power mobilization ready for any
eventuality.

FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

Here is an emergency message:
The most effective material for neu-
tralzing poison gas in gas masks is
charcoal made from peach pits, apricot
pits, plum pits, prune pits, cherry pits,
and the shells, not the husks, of hickory
nuts, walnuts, and butternuts. The
Chemical Warfare Service of the L. S.
Army has appealed to the Boy Scouts,
to l3l, 900 War Savings societies, and to
other chidren's organizations to collect
these products in every community.
Bags, with definite shipping instruc-
tions, will be sent to those placed in
charge of this collection work and defn-
ite arrangements will be made to dis
pose of the pits and shells collected
1t is interesting to know that 200
peach pits are required to produce en-
ough carbon for one gas mask respirator,
and that il tekes seven pounds of pits or
shells TO make the carbon for bne gas
mask. National School Service.
Collections made in Custer may be
left at the Red Cross rooms.

PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT
OF COUNTY ROAI

1t is said that the County Commis-
sioners of Custer county have approved
a road leading from the Fall River line
through Ivanhoe, Argyle and Loring,
and expect to open it up as soon as work
can be started. This will make short
cut from Minnekahta to Pringle, doing
away with the old trail and its trouble
some gates. 1t is also reported that the
County Commissioners of Fall River
county have acquesced in the road and
will connect With it from Minnekahta,
thus cutting out that old S curve and the
hard road and gates that have bothered
autoists ia former times. 1t is surely a
great plan aud We hope to see the road
in operation in the near future. III. K.

The Adiutant Generals Office Of the
Federal War Department is planning
for nation wide vocational registration
at later date and because of this the
industrial or vocational registration
planned by the State Council of Defense
and the United States Employment Ser
vice for South Dakota has been post
poned. 1t is felt that to proceed would
likely result in two registrations, and
this, considering the keen demand for
every hour of time and every effort
now, would be misfortune. The voca-
tional registration is needed to protect
the agricultural production of South
Dakota, as the draft of the men for war
industries must be met, and at the same
time, We must not allow men to be
taken from agriculture or from the es-
sential war industries in South Dakota.
tits hoped the latter may be increased
and our men employed here instead of
being taken to remote factories.

FOR FULL SUPPORT
SECRETARY CALLS ON UNITED
COUNTRY FOR RENEWED
BACKING OF ACTIVITIES.
PRAISES SPIRIT OF ALLIES
American Soldier Has Made Good in
France, He Says, and Brings
Praise for Courage, Endurance
and soldierly- Qualities,

Washington, April 1s.-Secretary
N. D. Baker, back from q seven
weeks trip to Europe, calls on the
American people for renewed sup
port for the war.
1.-THE American soldier has made
good in France" Baker declared at
the war department.. 1.-THE French
and British authorities are uniform
In their praise of the courage, endur-
ance and |soldierly qualities of our
men,
Full Support Great Need.
"The big thing for America to do
is to support the war;" the secretary
continued, Ito support it financially
and with firm belief. The right arm
OF America is in France. 1t is bar
ed and ready to strike. The rest
of the body is here in the United
States and it must support the arm.
This support should include subscrip-
tons to Liberty Loans as we'll as
moral support Of high confidence"
The condition of the American
troops, the secretary said, is excel
lent. They are all we'll physically
and "well in every other way"
Their spirits are high, their behavior
admirable and their relations with
the French and British cordial and
sympathetic, he said.
..-....,. Got Desired Information.
The information I went to get, I
got" Mr.. Baker said. His trip, he
said, would bring closer and more
understanding cooperation between
the war department and the army.
AS for the secretary himself, he
feels that he is now equipped with
the means Of Judging and appreciat-
ing the kind of cooperation needed"
The impression one gets in France
is one Of determination, confidence
and enthusiasm, said Mr.. Baker.
1.-THE American, British, French
and Italian armies are filled with this
tremendous spirit and the civilian
populations show the same feeling"
he said. EVERY one is determined to
see the job through and quite conf
dent of the outcome. I would say
that the general sentiment is one of
inspired determination"
