KIDDER COUNTY ~ OFFICERS. NOTE LEPROSY CASE Adopt Resolutions Insisting That State Board of Health Make Investigation Steele, N. D., July 2—A sensation developed at the Kidder county school officers’ meeting here when a commit- tee of school directors presented a signed communication declaring that the state board of health for more than a year had paid no attention to efforts made to procure an investi- gation of an alleged case of leprosy, from which Mary Hurst, a young wom- an living near Crystal Springs, was thought to be suffering. A member of the same household has been at- tending public schools during this pe- riod. As a result of resolution adopted by the school officers, F. C. Eastwood, state’s attorney, addressed a commu- nication to the attorney general, in which he stated that Dr. J. D, Fuller, county physician, had‘diagnosed the disease as leprosy several months ago and had so reported it to the state board. There are six or seven members in the’ family in which Mary Hurst re- sides. They live in a small house, and if the disease is leprosy every member is bound to have been ex- posed. “They go to the stores, ho- tels, postoffice, to the residences of friends; come and go on the railroad trains,” writes the states attorney, who suggests that: if the state board is unable to cope with hie situation, it be reported .to, proper federal au- thorities., i aS 3 i ie se OSTRCT DEPUTIES FILE E.M.

A string .of these cars, loaded with about 500'ties,; is backed into a strong- ly built steel cylinder, 182 feet long. The engine is then detached, the big circular door at the end of the retort is tightly closed, and a zinc-chloride solution {s forced into the chamber by a vacuum process. When the ties are completely immersed in the pre- serving fluid it is put under pressure to force it to the wood fiber.

Every minute is made to mean some thing. On a ‘dozen’ ‘fields the alr. is filled with the authoritative commands of the officers and the pounding of thousands of heavily-shod feet on the turf. Commingling is the blare of the bands, which are directed by Lieut. John Philip Sousa, famous. bandmas- ter, who now has 242 musicians in training and expects to develop the finest military band in the world. But the spirit of the camp is as serl- ous as that in a football camp. And, as evinced by the last days of Novem- ber in apy college, the statement is ‘not fpeant lightly. :/Byerywhere about the station the sentifient seems to be to.stick to the team and make a good training. \| showing in the eyes of the’ coaches that a permanent ‘place may be ob- tained in the greatest'game of all. C. G, Smith, captain of this year’s foot- ball eleven at the University of Michi- gan, expressed this when he said: “We are going in with everything we have. We are going to win and make the commandant, Capt. W. A. Moffett, proud of us when we go to sea or be ground to pieces trying.” To Train 20,000 Men. Plans are under way to make the station the largest of its kind in the world. Preparations have been made to train upward of 20,000 men during the summer. The navy department, upon the suggestion of Captain Mof- fett, has asked congress to appropri- ate funds for this purpose. . Constructed originally for 100 men, the war and the resultant influx of re- cruits has necessitated the springing up of a white, tented city on the reser- vation and adjoining leased land. Camp Paul Jones, lying immediately to the north of the station proper has been fully equipped’and shelters 5,000 men, among them the naval militia from the states of Michigan and Missouri. It is believed that the station will train five-eighths of the men who go to the navy during the war. Recruits from practically every community in the middle West‘are expected, men from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Mis- souri, Iowa, Kentucky and parts of other states being sent here to learn the business of a man-o’-warsman, Men of Every Station.

NEWEST OF AIR HAZARD “Barrage Bumping” Described ac Ex Perience That Tries Soul of an Aviator. London.—“Barrage bumping” is a new phase of air work which has de veloped with the war. After the British have gained ground their artillery opens a furious barrage fire against the territory be- hind the German lines to prevent re- enforcements from coming up for a counter-attack. ; Aviators are sent out to fly over the German positions and ascertain their condition and strength. As the ma- chines are compelled to fly at a low altitude to get a good view, they nat- urally have to pass through the shells from their own artillery. This is known as “barrage bumping.” One has to be “all man” to go through many “barrage bumping” ex- Dlolts. without.losing bis.nerve.. In ad- 2 .
