eminent and has been accepted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson expect to de-
part this month for Washington City,
where Mr.. Wilson will be assigned to
some service duty in the war. AT this
time he does not know exactly in what
branch OF the service he will be psae-
ed, but has expressed a Willingness t.
serve the government either in this
country, or in France, in whatever
capacity his services may be useful
He has a nephew in the British army
who is now a training officer at Fort

Wilson will visit him briefly before
going east.
Mr.. Wilson was born and raised
in Scotland, has several relatives in
the war, and has himself been a close
student of the war through letters
and papers from Great Britain. AL
though too old to enlist in the fight
ing ranks he feels keenly the call of
both his native and adopted country,
and some time ago made application
to the United States government for
any position the authorities consider
cd him available. II he Is assigned to
duty In Europe, Mrs. Wilson will
make her home with relatives in this
country during continuance of the
war. Beyond that they have made no
definite plans.

MISSIONARIES
NOW ALL MAILED
Work OF Classifying Hand County's
$40 Drafted Men Half
Completed

The government qu~estionnaires to
classify all drafted men have been
mailed from the local exemption Of
fee to Hand ouunty's S76 men, and
the last mailing of these question
naires must be returned by Saturday
of this week.
The work was completed In SEIZED
ule time. and all drafted men except
Ia were located. The IA o found
have moved, perhaps SOME Of them
enlisted in the army. In this total
are also included the IA drafted men
who have been previously called to
training camps.
The work of classifying has been
in progress some time by daily les
sions of the local board. Perhaps
haif the total have already been class
ifcd. The different classes consist OF
five in number. Class / consists of
single men and married men who are
not supporting wife or family, Glass 2
includes married men who are not
necessary to the support of wife and
children. Class 3 are men with de-
pendent relatives other than wife or
children, and trained men in various
needed callings. Class 4 are married
men with dependent wife or children,
and necessary heads of agricultural
or Industrial enterprises. Class 5 in
cludes alien enemies. and persons
physically or mentally unfit for mill
tary service.
This classification will enable the
government to pick n kind of men
needed for any particular kind of
service.

CLEAN SEED GRAIN
DEPARTMENT SAYS
increase Yield and Improve Quality
OF Seed Grain for 1918 Crop

washington, Dec. 24.-Winter days
when farm work is slack, can be
well utilized in cleaning and grading
the small grains for spring sowing,
according to a statement just issued
by the seed stocks committee OF the
United States department of agricul-
ture. This work should all be done
before the spring rush in preparing
the land and sowing the seed. Wheat
oats. barley and fax for seeding can
all be improved by running the seed
through the tanning mill at least once
to remove the weed seeds, chac,
broken straws and light, shrunken
kernels. The cleaned grain will run
through the drill or other seeding
machinery moro evenly and thus in
sure more uniform stand than can be
obtained from u~ncleaned grain. Clean
ing grain also eliminates most OF the
weak and diseased kernels. many OF
which may not grew at all, or If they
do grow arc likely to produce small.
weak plants. Uniformly large, plump
kernels terminate more evenly, pro-
duce stronger plants, and yield more
than ungraded grain containing small,
weak kernels.
Cleaning the grain also emoves a
large part of the weed seed II con-
tains. The preparation of the land
for seeding destroys many seeds that
are in the soil and thus helps to keep
weeds I'm check. but the value of this
work is largely lost il foul seed Is
sown. Weed seeds sown with the
grain have the best of conditions fos
termination and growth. and the
plants produced from them complete
strongly with the grain plants
throughout the season.
Although. the small grain of the
1917 crop, except in North Dakota
and Montana, is mostly of excellent
quality for seed. yet IL is well worth
while to run this grain through the
tanning mill at least once Nc
chances should be taken in sowing the
1918 crop. The very best seed avail

Milwaukee Road to Use
Montana Coal For Engines

Aberdeen American.-Within a few
days locomotives on the Milwaukee
system west of this city will be burn
ing Roundup coal from the mines In
Montana.
Thus this company, under stress
of war, is going to procure its own
fuel on the line and eliminate the
long haul on engine coal. Heretofore
the fuel Tor the railroad use in the
northwest has been brought from IL
inois and middle western mines.
Experiments have been made In
the past but Roundup coal wasn't
quite as satisfactory for engine use
as the old supply and so nothing was
done about II. 1t is an exceedingly
light coal and the great trouble has
been that 1t would be carried out of
the stack by the draft and proved a
menace to dry prairies.
Now the locomotives which are to
use this fuel have been rebuilt with
new front ends to the faes and var
| ious fire stops and spark arresters III
| stalled SO that the coal can be burn
| cd with great efficiency and no dang
er of prairie fires.
