TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1917. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE LADD COMING TD CONFER ON GRAN GRADING PROBLEM President of Agricultural College and Rail Board Have Meet- ing Tomorrow _. The new grain- grading act which it is declared, will cost North Dakota farmers $500,000 per annum, > but which is warmly championed by. the league, will be the subject for a con- ference here tomorrow between Dr. 1. Ladd, president of the agricul- tural college, and the state railway commission. The act makes the com- mission responsible for its successful launching, but places the appointment of deputies and the control of the ma- chinery in the hands of the president of the agricultural college and state chemist. What Act. Seeks The act seeks to establish a stand- drd grade tor grain; gives the railway commission power to appoint a state inspector . of grades, weights ,and measures for grains, seeds, flour and other agricultural products, and pro- vides for the gppointment of a deputy in every city which will erect.a scales and office for the weighmaster, The railway commission also is given au- thority to establish central markets for the display of samples of grain, seeds and other agricultural products in Duluth, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Su- perion, Fargo, Fairmount, Wahpeton and. Grand Forks,. with a deputy in charge of each, establish uniformfees for grading and rules governing. the purchase of grain by grade. Deputy inspectors may he licensed in. private warehouses and elevators, but .no grain may be bought or sold which has not been inspected by one of these or a public deputy. Appeals” fsém the decision of the local inspectof:may he made to the state railway commits- sion, which in rendering its final ‘de- cision is bound to consider the flour and bread-producing qualities of the igrain.

What Foes Claim A Those unfriendly to the measure contend the Power to appoint approx- imately 1,500 deputy inspectors will! permit the administration to build up a strong political machine; that in- spection and grading will impose up- on the farmer a tax of at least 25 cents per load for wheat and other | products; that the state cannot bind terminals in the Twin Cities, Duluth and Superior to .accept-its grades, and | that the local elevator man, who must buy on these grades cannot be cer- | tain of selling on the same grades in terminal markets; that a direct tax! is imposed on the farmer for the | building of terminal elevators, where- | as Senate Bill 84, which Governor | Frazier vetoed, proposed to distribute this burden’ evenly over all classes | of property. FIRST TROOPS TO BE SENT TO. SOUTHERN CAMPS The general impression in state mil- itary circles is that the First regi- ment, North Dakota National Guard, will not be mobilized in this state, but will proceed direct from company stations in trains, each of which prob- ably will carry two companies, with their baggage’ and equipment, to the concentration camp site designated, in the Southern district. Troops Go July 15. The mobilization of the North Da- kota National-Guard is scheduled for July 15. The Flickertail troops will be among the first called into action, with South Dakota; Minnesota, Wis-| consin and the national guardsmen of eastern states. Basing their judg- ment on the manner in which instruc- tions are issued, military men are pos- itive that the war department seeks to avoid any delay which would re-| sult from the concentration of troops at any one point within any of the northern states, and that for this rea- son the soldiers will be routed di- rect from company stations to the final mobilization point. To mobilize the national guard at| Fort Lincoln and break camp. again would involve at least two weeks’ time, within which period the state troops, traveling in detachments of two companies, which would mean! 3,000 men, a load for five tourist sleepers and four baggage coaches, can easily have reached their wti- mate destination. es H Fort Will Be Occupied. The fact that the First regiment is ndé’td! be mobilized at Fort Lin- coln does not mean that North Da- kota’s hig; military post, which is be- ing put in tip-top shape, is not to be used. The men of the First, to a large extent, are seasoned veterans, ready to go into hard training with- out any preliminary preparation. This will not be true to so large an ex- tent of the Second and possibly Third North Dakota regiments to be raised as this state’s contribution to the se- lective service army. It is probable that not only these new “troops from North Dakota, but from South Dakota, as well, will train at Fort Lincoln This wilk,mean. at: least six months’ } occupation of the fort by state troops, to which .no doubt will be added a detachment of regulars, and, as the progresses, there is~no question that! other men will be mobilized there. | Recent orders of ‘the war department, subsequent to those which indicate that state troops already organized | are to proceed direct from company} Stations to their concentration camps, give grounds for this belief.

Wilmington, Del.—Robert Baldwin, twenty-one, of Bellevue, whose back was broken on February 2 when an automobile he was driving turned over on him, has been released from the Delaware hospital as cured, after one of the most delicate and remarkable | operations ever performed at that in- stitution. As soon as he had been admitted to the hospital he was placed on the operating table and the tenth verte- bra removed from his spine. This bone was broken, and in addition three other vertebrae were’ dislocated. Dr. Harold Springer of this city performed the operation, which is said to be one of the most difficult and, rarely successful. A recent morning Baldwin’ walked a distance: of a city block with the aid of crutches, “His | legs were weak, but he found no trou- ble in getting around with the erutches, He is arranging to be ex- hibited before surgical clinics in sev- eral cities.

An active campaign against non-registrants, if any are to be found, may be expected from the department of justice, federal, state and county officials, beginning tomorrow.” The machinery of registration is be- ing readjusted to serve as machinery i or the further execution of the select ; | Service law. This work is progress-* ‘ing favorably and should be com- | pleted co-incidentally with the tying ; up of the loose ends of registration. ; | When this is done, regulations gov- erning the jurisdiction of the local boards will be issued, and the machin- ery will then be ready to proceed to the drawing, or drafting, which will result in the determination of the order in which registered men will! be examined for selection for mili- tary or industrial service. When this j list or order is determined, it is ex | pected that the war department will be able to make a definite call for! men, and as soon as this data is: available the quotas necessary to fill the first call will be, assigned to the several states. F Decentralization. | The policy of “decentralization,” which has worked successfully in the, registration, will be adhered to{ throughout the further steps. ‘The va- rious states, knowing the number of men which they must call and the; order in which each particular man is to be examined, can then assign to the various boards the task of selecting the number of men neces- {sary to complete the quota for the locality under the jurisdiction of each board. Bases for Exemption. Bases for exemption cannot be j known until the secretary of war and | the president have approved the rec- ommendations which are in prepara- tion or now before these officials. Class exemptions, Brig. Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, provost marshal general, seems to indicate, need not be looked for. That is, no man will.be exempt for the simple reason that he is a farmer, machinist, banker, doctor or lawyer. Indispensible persons in all needful occupations, however, will he | exempted with definite direction from | the president and the secretary of war as to what occupations are need- ful and within what limits worke: in them are to be considered by e: emption boards as exemptable. These exemption ‘boards, whose personnel is provided for by law, are to sit in each judicial district in the state. There will be referred to these boards only the names of those who have cited possible exemptions, as required by the registration law. | Oil in SourLake-Texas Fields Brings Riches to Many.
