D., Sept. 6.—Hettinger will tender a rousing farewell recep- tion to its drafted men and volun- teers in the two North Dakota regi- ments of the national guard this eve- ning.

The system of Chancellor Michaelis is based upon the idea of enabling newspaper re- porters to obtain news direct from the information, bureau from the various ministries all’ of which are placed un- der the direct charge of the chancel- tor’s press chief, Baron von Braun. The baron explained ‘7 newspaper men that the Chancellor had not thought of attempting to influence the press and merely desired to guard aeainst unfounded criticism under which the government had suffered otten in the past and to keep control [of the whole city organization in his hands. The chancellor was respon- sible, the baron explained, for the whole empire and was therefore en- titled to demand that the various min- isters should instruct the press along the lines of his. policy. DISTRICT BOARD MAY ADJOURN FOR WEEK; WELL OP WITH WORK : The district exemption board prob- ably will adjourn for a week this eve* ning, havihg’ completed’ the consider ation of industrial claims over which it has infmediate jurisdiction and hav- ing given appeals from local boards a casual inspection. These appeals are those filed by claimants who were denied’exemption on dependency claims, The board also has to consid- er claims automatically appealed by the government in cases where local boards granted exemptions to regis- trants claiming exemptions. The board has certified more than enough men to every county to care for the first call, and the adjournment is tak- en to permit appealed cases to “ripen.” FAMOUS BISMARCK. HORSE mY STI AT LEA State Examiner J. R. Waters, owner of Major Ong and other fast harness animals, has received from the Daw- ‘son County Fair association special inducements to enter his string at the annual fair to be held this month at Glendive, Mont. If Major Ong is in WHITE SOX “18 PICKED AS WINER Chicago, Sept. 6.—Some baseball en- thusiasts have assumed that the White Sox have already. won the pen- nant in the American league and are mailing checks and money to the of- fices of that club to secure seats for the world series. President Comis- key said today that he‘ would not ac- cept any reservations: until the race was definitely decided. SECTION FOREMEN GAN'T LIVE ON $60; ASK RATE BOOST AND HHLR PY The* fact. that a’ section foreman cannot:live,and dress and educate his family on $60 per month is being cited to the North Dakota railway commis- sion. as a reason why North Dakota railways should have higher freight rates. Several section foremen, chief- ly employed by the Great Northern, have written the state board of their troubles. “Twenty-five years ago, says one, “a section foreman got $45 the| month, and he could live then for one- third what it costs today.” The let ‘ers apparently are inspired, as they cover similar ground, but. none of definite promise of a boost* in’ wages if freight rates are increased. ¥-. C.A, WAR WORKERS NOT EXEMPT FROM ARWY SAYS GENERAL CROWDER Young men engaged in army Y. M. C. A. or similar work, cannot. be éx- empted or discharged, for that reason, nor can they be drafted with the guar- anty that they will be assfgned to such work in the regular army.. Provost Marshal General Crowder advised to~ : day in a message to Adjutant General Fraser. Requests have been made, wires Crowder, to exempt or discharge such men or to assign them to this duty. There is no authority for this proceedure, he states, and such men, when, selected, must report to local boards for military duty. INDIANS THRESHING, WITHOUT ASSISTANCE Sioux Prove . Independence by Handling Own Agricultural Activities This Year Fort Yates, N. Ds, Sept. 6.--To | Prove their independence of paleface aid, Sioux, farmers of the Cannonball district have advised Superintendent Kitch that they desire no aid from the government with their threshing this year. The threshing for the dis- trict will be in carge of a committee named by the Indians, and the only assistance they will accept from out- side will be the use of a government ; tractor and separator. The commit- tee furnishes from the farmers in the district all the hands required, in- , cluding engineers and separator men. ; Threshing under this plan now is in | progress, and Superintendent Kitch, |who thoroughly approvés’ of the { scheme, believes it will be a success. The Indians of the Cannonball district are among the most progressive on the reservation. It will be only a short time until all of the younger Sioux of this district have full and complete control of their lands and enjoy the ‘same |degree of citizenship as their white neighbors. | NEW CORPORATIONS 4 —— | \New corporations of the day are the Levant Elevator Co., of Manvel. incor- porated: for’ $25,000 by W.

All-.of, the ‘local exemption boards, after a, little delay jin, getting started. have. done their | work remarkably well and > prom’ said Judge Luther Ey Birdzell, chair- man of the district éXemiption board, today in discussing a report that Pro- | vost Marshal General Crowder had: au- thorized the governor to name special inspectors for the purpose of visiting exemption boards where the work is lagging. Conditions prevailing in oth- er states, where many county boards have failed to certify a. sufficient num- ber of men to provide for the firsi call are not true in any county in North Dakota, and Judge Birdzell feels that the officers forming the county boards are to be commended for their patriotic and efficient work.
