GROVE NOTES
(Loren Mc.)

Being elated over our victory last
Friday we feel more sure of defeat
ing Huntingdon's team next month.
The game Friday was with Murray.
Steve Miller umpired, and the game
was very fair, both sides playing ex-
cellent ball, but of course no team
could expect to defeat Grove.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schofield and Rev.
and Mrs. Storer visited us last Fri
day. Brother Storer gave US an en-
joyable talk, and Mr.. and Mrs. Scho-
field sang several songs for us, and
after vehement applause on our
part, promised to sing for us again
if we won in the baseball game.
They must remember their promise.
The Glee Club will nesp render the
patriotic program at the Dixie to-
night friday with our Allies ma
tional songs and girls in costume.

signed the pledges. The following

My Dear Mamma:
Well, Pm through with this

(having finished in the minimum
time-eight weeks), and quite a
happy feeling it is. It is all through
now but the actual work of flying,
and it won't be very long till / start
that. We will be sent to Dallas next
Friday. Don't know how long we
will be there, but sure hope it will
not be long. l will be sent from
Dallas to Houston. Pm going in for
bombing instead of being pilot.
We have to go to school four more
weeks there, then we are commits
stoned.
The commandant, talking to us
about bombing school," said we
would be in France by June. That,
too, suits me exactly.
This week we just lay around and
pass the time any way we please.
Believe me, it's sure great sport to
lie up in bed and not move when that
old bugle sounds "reveille." Seems
like old times. We'll get to go out
to the traps every day and shoot at
the pigeons. I've been improving
lately-got eleven out of twenty
five. The peculiar part of it is, I
hit those eleven the morning we
were to know whether or not we
would graduate. Next week we
start drilling with guns.
| am liking the army more and
more every day. If l can just get
my commission as bomber, and get
to France for this big battle that's
on now. I'll be absolutely satisfied.
Don't know when I'll get to come
home-not until l finish bombing
school, guess. Don't write me untn
! let you know what my address will
be in Dallas.
Affectionately,

Unless Enlisted.

Washington, May 2S.-No person
who has attained the age of Fl since
June 5, 1917, or who will attain that
age on or before June 5, is excused
from registration June 5, unless on
that day he is an actual member of
the military or naval service, draft
officials wish it clearly understood.
Provost Marshal General E. H.
Crowder, in urging young men to
study the draft regulations, issued the
following statement:
ut should be clearly understood
that registration is ppalfc duty. 1t
ia distinct from selectipe service, in
that it is merely preliminary to the
latter process of selection. For fail
ure to perform this duty congress has
provided a penalty of imprisonment
for one year Furthermore, such fail
ure may result in the loss of valuable
rights and privileges aad immediate
induction into military service.
'No delinquent can be excused for
not registering on the ground that he
forgot or did not realize mis- duty. The
burden is on him and him alone, to
perform that duty and ne alone is re-
sponsib.e."

phrase but that is it's substance when
translated into the vernacular. APP
parently his conviction then was as
strong as that of any of those mhO

have changed greatly, but the lords die
so hard that this little historical rem

"In Picardy, after violent artillery

to Advocate Passage of
Revenue Measure.
ASKS TWENTY BILLION

Sum to Garry 1t Through Coming

comes, Excess Profits, Luxuries.

Washington, May 29.-Discussion
over whether Congress shall adjourn
or not was ended when President
Wilson appeared before the joint SEES
sion of the Senate and House and
urged passage of bill to provide
revenue for growing war expenses
and prepare the nation in advance
for tax burdens it must face.
AS the President was leaving the
White House for the capitol. word
came that the German drive against
the West front had been renewed.
He gave his visit dramatic touch by
announcing this news as he conclud-
ed his prepared speech, saying it
strengthened the purpose he had tried
to express
The demand that with the war at
its peak and crisis, Congress do it's
duty at home as the soldiers are do
ing their duty in the trenches over
seas brought instant acquiescence.
Plans for midsummer adjournment
were abandoned and both Democratic
and Republican leaders expressed
their determination to go at the task
of passing a revenue BILL
Aim to Reach Profiteers.
A suggestion by the President that
most of the new taxes probably would
fall upon incomes, excess profits and
luxuries and that profiteers could be
reached in this way was greeted with
cheers and congressional leaders said
later the money needed would come
from those sources.
1t was announced that public hear
ings would be begun early in June
by the House ways and means COM
mittee, to be followed by co-opera-
ton in its drafting with the Senate
finance committee. Presentation of
the measure to the House in July
was regarded as assured.
Twenty Billion Asked.
One of the big problems to be
worked out first was the proportion
of new taxes to bond issue authorize
tions. In the neighborhood of twenty
billion dollars must be provided to
meet expenses of the coming year.
The President has suggested to Con-
gress that forty per cent should be
raised by taxation. This would mean
bond issues for about twelve billions
and doubling of the approximately
four billions levied in taxes this year.

public Land Entries Validated.

Washington, May 28.-The Senate
has passed legislation validating many
public land entries on the Red Lake
lands which were enormously can
celled by the commissioner of Public
lands. The entries were cancelled
through misinterpretation of the
law, as to whether persons who had
previously exhausted their homestead
rights were entitled to the Red Lake
lands, and the bill corrects this situa-
tl,n. The Senate has also passed a
bill allowing the sale of certain ceded
Chippewa lands.
