CHANCES GOOD FOR
NEW ARMORY HERE
Every Indication That New Armory
Will be Furnished When Com
pany is Located

Capt. P. L. Spooner, Lieut.. N.
Vinje and Mayor Geo. Geenty, of the
Commercial Club committee appoint
ed to take up the matter of estab
fishing militia company in Morris
and of having such company provided
with new armory, went to st. Paul
/ last Saturday and called on Major
Lambert, who is chairman of the
board of armory supervisors.
The interview with Major Lam
bert was very satisfactory, but of
course the understanding with him
was tentative because Morris had not
at that time been formally designat-
er for militia company.
From Major Lambert it was learned
that the armory funds now in the
state treasury are not available for
the erection of new armories, but
that the armory board has authority
to build new armories, and issue
state certificates of Indebtedness to
cover the state aid provided for cities.
The cities must furnish site, title to
which is vested in the State of Min
nesota, and also $1,000 and the state
will furnish $4,000.
AS soon as the company is estab-
1ished here, the matter will be taken
up formally with Major Lambert

would belong to the End regiment
but instead Of there being a 1st, End
and 3rd regiment, there has been
established 4th, 5th and 9Th regi-
ment and Morris being in the 5th
means the same as the End If End
had been authorized.
Steps will be taken at once to get
the required number of men and the
company will no doubt be mustered
in in a week or two. Over 80 men
have already signified their inten-
ton of joining the new company and
this means that 10 or Is more will
be needed to bring the company. up
to the required strength. The COM
pany will be re-fitted with new out
fits from head to foot and the latest
army equipment. Whether or not
the Home Guard Company will be
discontinued has not been decided,
and if enough men could be secured
for the Home Guard company out
side of the regular militia, it will
probably be kept up.

NEW SYSTEM UNDER
ALLOTMENT LAW
Misunderstanding Corrected in Re
gard to Payments Of Allot-
ments Of Dependents

The Commission of Public Safety
has been informed recording the is
suance of statement by the War
Department showing the former de-
lay in the issuance of soldiers al
lotments under the law The state
ment is as follows and is of vital
interest to every family with men in
the service.
Every enlisted man in the active
military or naval service is under a
duty to allot SIS month from his
pay to his wife and children. TO
these compulsory allotments the
Government adds family allowances,
ranging from SIS month for a
motherless child, and SIS for a wife
without children, UP to a maximum
of $50. The compulsory allotments
are the same for all enlisted men, re-
gardless of rank or pay.
In addition to the compulsory al
lotments, the enlisted man may also
make voluntary allotments to his
parents, grandparents, brothers, sis
ters, or grandchildren, and, if they
are dependent upon him for support,
the Government may add certain
monthly family allowances.
If the enlisted man is already
making a compulsory allotment to
his wife and children, he need allot
only SIS additional to his brothers,
sisters, parents, grandparents, and
grandchildren, if he claims family
allowance fore them. But if he is
not making a compulsory allotment,
he must allot' SIS to such other rel
atives to obtain a Government al
lowance for them.
The Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance will pay allotments only when
they carry with them Government
family allowances, and then only in
the amounts required to support such
allowances. All other allotments
will be paid by the branch of the
military or naval service in which
the man is enlisted.
The essence of the whole change
i'm dollars and cents is simply this:
Heretofore when an enlisted man
allotted more than the required
amount the Bureau of War Risk In
surance included this excess in the
check which it sent to the relative.
Now this is changed. All excess al
lotments will be paid by the Army,
the Navy, the Marine Corps and the
Coast Guard directly.

duce the Bureau of War Risk In

BOYS FROM HERE in
STEGNER'S COMP ANY
Capt. Stegner, Son of Rev. Stegner
of Pepperton, Praises Men from
Stevens County

Captain D. o. Stegner, son of Rev.
w. G. Stegner of Pepperton township,
and well known to many of the peo-
pie of the county, writes an inter
esting letter from Camp Cody, New
Mexico. The letter is as follows:
''This sa desert country between
great mountain ranges. A long per-
iod of drouth made this a very dry
and dusty land. Recently, however,
we had a series of rains and condi-
tions are now somewhat improved.
The altitude of our camp is very
great. We have cold weather even
though so far south. We are COM
PEELED to do the strictest of training
to prepare our forces to meet the
enemy and there is very little time
left to do anything else. I occupy a
little one room shack, quite like the
pioneers had. 1t is very comfortable
and the General lives in similar
one not distant. So you see we are
quite in STYLE Our great work is to
put down this frightfu1 un-Christ-
like menace to the civilized world
put down the German rulers whose
idea is might makes right
''I have come in contact with many
English and French officers and sol
diers who have been in the war and
have heard much. Many of my own
men are now in France and I wish
that we, the American people, were
ready to strike with great force
The training of a great army is GER
tainly a stupendous undertaking
What pity that our people did not
make preparations years ago.
"There are over 200 men in my
company at present. Several are from
around Morris and Alberta. They are
good boys, taking all. am proud OF
the company. It's big job to clothe
and feed them, besides making good
soldiers of the new men, but there is
splendid material in most of them
and when they go over the top the
people at home will realize that their
boys will have become men indeed
Military training will make many
wonderful changes in the men, espe-
cially the drafted men, some of whom
are not of the best physical type, but
under the influence Of training, open
air, work and healthful food, they
have changed to the better. Several
boys (named) come from where you
are. Should you meet their folks
tell them that they are good soldiers
and clean, fine men,"

PLANS UNDER WAY FOR
STEVENS COUNTY FAIR
Governor Burnquist Will Be Present
One Day-Dates Sept. 25,
26 and 27

The conditions forecasting success
for the coming Stevens county fair,
Sept. 25, 26 and 27, were never more
propitious. Everything indicates the
best fair in the history of the Stevens
County Agricultural Society. Never
were the agricultural products of the
county more bountiful than this year
and the people seem to be taking
an unusual interest in the forthcom-
ing exhibition Of our resources
Every farmer should make an exhibit
of some kind, not for the purpose of
winning the prizes, but simply to
show outsiders who may be in at
tendance the productiveness of Stew
ems county soil.
The Management of the fair is ar
ranging for big program and the
three days will be full of interest to
both young and old. Gov. Burnquist
has already promised to be present
on the 9th and will be here unless
something unexpected calls him.
There will be other prominent speak
ers on all three days.
The fair committee will hold a
meeting in a few days to complete
the plans and make all arrangements.
Races of all kinds will be held as
usual Those who expect to enter
should register at once. There will
be horse races, auto races, motorcycle
races and bicycle races.
The premium list will soon be
printed and ready for distribution.
The county fair is easily the an
nual event of greatest Importance
and interest to all the people of the
county and it should be the clear
ing house for the products and in
dustry of the county-an exposition
of the best fruits of the labor of the
people and of the products of the
soil. Every person should realize al
so that great and successful fair
must be the result of the co-opera-
tion of many. A few scattered ex-
hibits do not make a complete fair.
1t should be fairly representative of
all branches Of agriculture and all
lines of industry. To insure such an
exhibit everyone must contribute of
their products.
Boost for the Stevens county fair
and don't fail to be in attendance at
least one day.

LOCAL DRAFT BOARD
RECEIVES NEW ORDERS
Must Make Plans Now for New
Registration Of Men in
September

Anticipating passage by congress
of new draft law, probably setting
the ages of 19 to As years, Provost
Marshal General e. III. Crowder has
directed Minnesota state and local
draft boards to begin at once pre-
paration for registering all men of
the new ages early in September.
Men between 21 and 81 years of age
are already registered and will not
be affected.
ARRANGEMENTS are to be made i'm
mediately by local boards for the
necessary machinery for registering
the millions of men to be made liza
able to draft regulations. The date
of the registration will be fixed by
President Wilson in a proclamation.
cit is confidently anticipated that
legislation extending the present
draft ages will be enacted by con-
gress,'' said the telegram from Gen
sral Crowder.
"It is safe to assume that large
number of men will be required to
register and that the day of regis
tration will be early in September.
''The registration of such large
numbers requires detailed and ex-
tensive preparation and there will
not be sufficient time for such pre-
paration after the passage of the
legislation. Instructions outlining
procedure will be forwarded at once
by mail and pending receipt thereof
you are instructed to make prelim-
mary arrangements at once.
"The machinery for registration
must be perfected and ready to be
put into immediate service when the
presidents proclamation can be pub
1ished."
Governors of all states will be
called upon to supervise registration
The adjutant general or draft eXecu-
tive will be the central administra-
tive authority of the registration sys-
tenn. Local draft boards will have
, Immediate direction and supervision
of the registration within the juris-
dictions.
Registrations will be made in the
customary voting precincts.
Local board will be requested te
appoint at once a registrar or regis
trars for each precinct within their
jurisdiction on the basis of one for
each 80 registrants. 1t is estimated
to require one and one-third times
as many registrars as served in the
nrst registration in June, 1917.
Governors, mayors, city clerks and
county authorities will he called up
on by the president, the telegram
said. to assist local boards to pro
vide suitable places for registration
and to enjoin cooperation of the pro-
per election commissioners or the
officer in charge of election mach
inery or public buildings.

that the Pirates have much chance or
