a BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1917. Uncle Sam’s Boys With Pershing in England Here are Uncle Sam’s soldier boys who have just landed in England to fight under Maj.-Gen. ‘‘Black Jack’? Pershing. The picture was taken as Pershing’s men were coming across the Mexican border into the United States after sev- eral months of intensive training in the southern republic and were at the time when they were called ‘‘the finest body of soldiers in the world’ by a foreign military observer. DESERTED TOT TAKEN 10 JAMESTOWN UNTIL HOWE CAN BE FOUND Little Youngster Left With Par.| Vents in Mandan.Now in Cus’... tody of State * Mandan, N. D., June 8.—The baby son of Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig, former managers of the Grand cafe, who was! deserted here and left at the home! ot Henry Grosgebauer, has been taken to. Jamestown by Juvenile ‘Officer Blake until a desirable home can be; found for the little tot. The whereabouts of the baby’s father is unknown. Yesterday it be- came known that Mrs. Ludwig is in St. Paul, where she is living with a former husband, it is said.

It was worse than ab earthquake.” “We saw familiar landscapes al- ready plowed and harrowed, vanish, or assume grotesque shapes. Hill 60 went up in fine dust.” Renewed Activity. There has been renewed activity within the past two or three days on the French front, near St. Quentin. The artillery has been strongly engag- ed and the Germans were apparently The French guns, however, broke up the attack in its incipiency. While the British are delivering their concen- trated attack on land im Belgium, their air forces are active. Opera- tions in the vicinity of Dixmude, in which three German machines were put out of action, were reported to- day. A semi-official Roman announce- ment says Austria has made a formid- able concentratjon of forces on the Italian front by the withdrawal of troops from the Russian front. The statement asserts the Italians are con- fronted by two-thirds of the Austrian army. ; i NINTH DISTRIGT OES WELL WITH BIG LOAN Reserve Agent John Rich Compli- ‘ments Northwest on Response To Appeal St. Paul, Mini me 8.—The Ninth reserve district has. responded. splen- didly to the call ‘of the government and ig{rapidly’ absorbing: many mill- ions of Liberty Bonds, says JohnH. Rich, federal reserve agent.. More thaf 4,000 bankers and ousiness men are voluntarily serving upon: commit- tees, and covering every township and county in an area that contains 436,- 000 square miles. The remarkable record made by, Minneapolis of rais- ing $10,000,000 for the loan in eight days is followed ‘by St. Paul, which on an apportionment of $6,000,000, raised $8,500,000,by Duluth, which on an apportionment of $1,436,000, raised $2,750,000, by Houghton, Mich., (city and county) which on an apportion- ment of $1,650,000, has raised $2,700.- 000, and by many other cities and towns in which campaigns are in prog- ress. The difficulties of organization in a territory that embraces in whole or in part six different states, and which is 1,500 miles long are obvious. Six separate state organizations were instituted, and.ab/fasti‘as completed each built up its: own machinery for reaching the public. The difficulties of reaching the people of the Ninth reserve district, when fully 90 per cent of the entire area is farm land, were considerable, and necessitated that in order to bring home the im- portance of the loan, committee men must visit every section of land and personally discuss the subject with the farmers. ‘With more than a week to complete the campaign, the out- look is encouraging.., Preliminary re; sults are sufficient to justify the belief that notwithstanding the size of the territory, the thinly settled character of many districts, the great distances to be covered, and the difficulty of getting into touch with individual farmers, the district as a whole will make an extremely satisfactory re- sponse and subscribe a very heavy amount. EARLY REPORTS INDICATE LESS Continued fiom’ page i. tions which the registration law re- quires noted, while 17,729 have claim- ed no, exemptions. of any kind. The thirty. counties represented had in 1915 a population of 351,701, while the 23 counties yet to be heard from had 285,255... If the registrations in the counties yet to be heard from run parallel with those already ;received, the total for the state, with the miss- ing precincts from counties already reporting, will not exceed ~ 60,000, though as. high as 80,000 has been ex- pected.. « . Some. of. the big ‘counties yet. to make returns are Cavalier, McHenry, LaMoure, , McKenzie,’ McLean,. Morton, Grand Forks, Stark,.Ward, Wells and Williams. Cass county, with 3932, leads all counties reporting to’date. Richland, with 1753 registrations and 1068 claim-. ing exemptiogs, reports the smallest per cent of apparent eligibles. May Ran Low , Should the percentage of registra- tion indicated by early. statistics be maintained, prognosticators who plac- ed the total for this state in the neigh- borhood of 49,000 will come much nearer the mark than the more optim- istic who predicted all the way from 60,000 to 80,000. Based upon the Jan- uary 1, 1917, estimate of the bureau of the census, the registration report- ed to date has averaged 6.7 of the state’s population. Reports from, miss- ing precincts in, counties) already 'rep- resented in the adjutant general’s. tabulation probably, will. boost this percentage to at least seven per cent. y WAR FREIGHTER RUSHED TO COMPLETION - One of the many steel and wood freighters now being rushed for service on the Atlantic to overcome the: U-boat menace, is here shown nearing completion. The birdseye view gives an idea of the capacity of these big ships. « If this prevails generally, the 752,260 people whom the federal census bur- eau estimated for. North Dakota on January 1 should produce 53,658 can- didates for selective service. Probably 48 Per Cent Not In The secretary of state’s census by counties would indicate that 56 per cent of the state’s population is rep- resented in the ‘incomplete reports on file in the adjutant general's office yesterday, and that 44 per cent of the state’s population was contained in 23 counties yet to report. It is.prob- able, however, that reports from which this information has been tabulated, do not represent more than 52 per cent of the present population of the state, and that information was yet to be had as to registrations from 48 per cent of the state, Sioux county, with 2,135 people in 1915, reported 314 registrations, or better than 14 per cent. Barnes coun- ty, with 18,706 people in 1915, re- ported 1,909, or better than ten per cent. Cass went better than ten, but Burke, McIntosh, Richland and Ran-j som fell well below that mark.

Last year's acre- age was 7,200,000 bushels, and Mr. Hagan ‘anticipates a decrease of fully 10 per cent, owing to the late spring, which gave comparatively little time for s@eding; the high prices of seed tion as usual, owing to the failure of the 1916 wheat crop. “I believe we would have hundreds of thousands more acres of wheat had the government, around seeding time, taken some steps to assure the farmer a reasonable price for: his wheat next fall. The farmer who was asked to pay $3 for seed wheat had no assurance that next,fall he would not be compelled to sell his grain for 80 cents to $1. Labor, supplies and every- thing that go into the wheat crop, are higher, and the fear of-rust caused many: to hesitate. Conditions at this time, however, warrant the hope that the average production per acre will be high. If the yield runs as well as it did in 1915; North Dakota should have around ‘120,000,000 bushels of wheat.” “ NOTICE FOR BIDS.
