NATIONAL SOLDIERS HOME
OPEN TO EX- SERVICE MEN

In order to be eligible for admission
to one of these homes, the person ap-
plying for admission must have had
service in one of the Federal arms.
This has been interpreted to include
the National Guard when mobilized
into the service of the United States.
1t has also been held that persons
discharged from draft during the re-
cent war fall within the class of ell
gibles for admission to these Homes.
Applicant must have been separ-
ated from service under honorable
conditions.
The applicant must be physically or
mentally incapable of earning live
lihood. In this connection it is to be
borne in mind that it is not requisite
that the disability should have any
connection with military service.
Application. blanks for admission to
Homes for Disabled Volunteer Sol
diers have been supplied in regional
offices of the United States Veterans
Bureau or may be obtained from the
Headquarters National Military Home
Dayton, Ohio.
Governors of the different homes
have authority to furnish transpor.
tation. The United States Veterans
Bureau does not furnish transporta'
ton in any case applying for admis'
sion to home except where the dis,
ability is connected with service ano
where the, disabled soldier is entering
a home as bonafide patient OF this
Bureau.
This refers also to men whose
claims have been disallowed and t.
any ex-service man whose service
does not entitle him to the benefits
provided through the War Risk In
surance act and the amendment.

County Agent Aamodt informs us
that he plans on having Don McMa-
hon of the Agricultural College Ex-
tension Division and possibly Alex
Currie here about the 28th or 29th
who will go over the herds and select
representative specimens for the
SALE 1t is the plan to offer no poor
stock. A good start will mean a repu-
tation for Bottineau breeders in the
future, so do not consign any but
good ones.
Sheep men are talking of consig1l-
ing double deck car load of sheep
and offer them to buyers direct. A
good plan indeed.
The poultry men will not be far be-
hind with their end of the show if
plans work out. Bottineau County
has some of the finest turkeys in
the Northwest and several young
toms will be on exhibit and offered
for sale. Those wishing an opportun-
ity to get start in standard bred
poultry will find several varieties to
select from, and an opportunity will
be had to secure breeding males to
improve flocks, pair, trio or pen of
the different breeds. The Game Farm
may show few pheasants.
A great deal! of interest is mani
fest in a fall fair since our summer
fair gives a poor exhibit of the gar.
den stuffs. Let us make this occasion
such a success that it will be kept up
as a real fall fair hereafter. Remem-
ber the dates.

TURNED.

G. w. Gold, secretary of the Red

received the following letter from
Mike Holm, Secretary of State, con-
corning a matter Of interest to all
automobile owners.
ut has come tc my attention that
some Of the number plates issued in
registering motor vehicles are not
wearing as they should. The manu-,
facturer has explained that the diff,
ficulty is due to the failure Of GER
tain quantity of paint that was used
in making a particular series OF
plates, and that he is ready to replace
any and all plates that did not turn
out right absolutely without expense
to the state or owner of car.
"The manufacturer, moreover, is
under bonds to replace them without
cost to the state, so if anyone who
happens to have received any of these
poor plates will report to us, we shall
Immediately place an order for new
ones without cost to the owner. AS
soon as they are ready, we shall then
exchange for the old ones.
"Your club will confer great
kindness if you will extend notice to
your members and other car owners.
The contract included the specifica-
tions that plates should withstand
weather and reasonable wear. We
are therefore, anxious to have in
formation about any that have not
fulfilled these specifications so that
we may call upon the manufacturer

Some Dance

At fashionable hotel in ST. Paul,
recently, 174 young bloods of the
State University put on a so-called
Junior Ball" at cost of 5000 each
for tickets. ,...
The affair cost $500 for announce
ments, $4,000 for taxis, $825.00 for
use of the hotel, $4,000 for decora-
lions, $354.75 for programs, $4,000
for music, and $30.25 for tickets, pla-
cards and incidentals, and beside the
above expense each young man had to
hire his own taxi, flowers, etc.
Even if the boys parents can afford
so silly waste of money it is bad for
the young bloods to thus squander
money which they have not earned.
Such things have a bad effect upon
the students in a number of very OBJ
vious ways.-Anoka Herald.

wilson's belief that the League of Ma
tons IS not yet a dead issue, SO far
as the United States is concerned and
his plain inference in the speech OF
Saturday that it will likely crop up
as one of the major issues of 1924.
caused a profound stir today in Demo-
cratic political circles in the capital
Democrats of every shade of opin-
ion were studying the utterances of
the former president today, seeking to
define. if possible, his future political
plans Yet. Notwithstanding the wide
spread interest in the speech, there
were few Democrats who care to COM
nit themselves on it today. even pri-
vately.
81 Not an AIIuring Prospect.
II can be stated today. that to the
rank and file of Democratic leaders in
Washington, the prospects of fighting
the league issues all over again in
1924 is not an aIIuring one. The
vision of making their political bid
for the White House two years hence
with the ll-starred league as a
foundation rock. is on the contrary,
distinctly disconcerting to many DEM
ocratic senators and Representatives
Democrats. never more than luke
warm toward the league, were quick
TO point out today, that widespread
Democratic success at the polls on
Tuesday could by no means be inter-
preted n swing of national Senti-
ment toward the league or toward
greater ENHANCEMENT in Europe's af-
fairs
They pointed out that the only two
Democratic senators to go down to
defeat on Tuesday were prominent
pro-league senators - Hitchcock. in
Nebraska, who led the senate fight
for Wilson, and Pomerene, in Ohio,
who made a number of brilliant
speeches for the league during the
long fight that preceded its rejection.
Reed Opposed Pet Ideal.
On. the oths hand. the most pro-
nounced anti-league Democrat in the
senate, "Jim" Reed, of Missouri. won
notable victories in both primary and
election and in both of these cam
paigns he stood squarely on his record
of bitter opposition to Mr.. Wilson's
pet ideal.
Most Democrats believe their sue
cess on Tuesday was due to the voters
reaction on taxation. tariff. agricul-
tural discomfort and prohiPition-and
not to any conviction on the part of
the people lat they made a mistake
in turning down the l~lgue in 1920

1ieve the election was won on do
mestic issues an' they believe these
same ISSUES should be projected into
prominnce in 1924.
