F. O'Hare, Burleigh County’s En- rollment Agent of the United States Public Service Reserve, reports that he is in receipt of a number of enroll- ing and application cards and is in po- sition to take care of a limited num- ber of skilled workers and mechanics, who wish to enroll in the United States Public Service Reserve: | “Enrollment Agents have power to anroll members in the reserve, which eans little more than putting them, dn the reserve list and giving them! the button and membership card. The machinery as far as the ship drive is concerned provides for a certain ex- amination of the qualifications of the man. The ship yards are in the hands of private employers working pretty much under Government control. The member who is willing to serve the country in’ this way as a matter of fact’ makes a private contract of em- ployment. which differs from the usual form of private contract in view of the national service which is performed.” The buttons and membership cards “have not arrived, but will be forward- éd to each member who enrolls at this office, when received. ‘ “Enrollment in the Reserve does not sign a man up in the sense that it ob- ligates him to take any position which is offered. Different positions carry @ifferent wages. If, when the posi: tion is offered-to him the wages are hot such as he ought to ‘take, he is hot under obligation to take it: A member in the Reserve may receive a number of offers covering different po- sitions.” Travelling Examiners -will visit the office of every county enrolment ag- ent, and examine applicants as to their efficiency, but such examiners will probably not be sent out until about sometime in May, 1918. The scale of wages run about $5.00 to $7.00 per day for eight (8) hour day work, with probably one and one- third to one and one-half over time. Members of the Reserve are re- quested to retain and keep their pre- sent positions and not attempt to seek employment direct at the ship yards. The offers of positions will come di-} rect from the Shipbuilding concerns | —the amount of wages will be stated in such offer and if the offer is ac- ; fear at this time is that his star pitch- cepted transportation will be furnish- ed from the place of enrollment to the | point where the work is to be per-| formed. The Government is endeav-} oring to take care of the housing prob-| lem at and near the ship yards, and} the lack of house facilities at this time} is one of the reasons why members of| the reserve are warned not to scek} employment direct without the aid Of) ann re the Department of Labor. | Unskilled workers are the bone of} the shipyards—American Mechanics | —men trained to work with tools—| and fired with patriotism, can build ships and build them fast, and the) Government is seeking to enroll only | skilled workers. ! There is very little likelyhood of; any Public Service Reserve number | being called upon before June 1, 1918} and at the present time in view of! the housing problem and the condi-| tions of the various ship building| yards there are a sufficient number of | workers on hand. | - FORTY RED CROSS BUTTONS IN - | "THREEBURNSTAD FAMILIES, AND SOLDIERS IN MAKING BESIDES _ Burnstad, N. D,, Feb. 21.—Burnstad | ~ {nvites any village of 500 population = in America to show three families ~ with 40 Red Cross memberships, and = member for every membership. Eurn- stad has them in the families of C. P. Burnstad, 13 members; T. J. Arntz, _. 15 members, and the Harts, 12 mem- ~~ bers.» ‘These three families number 40 individuals, and ever yone of them is a full-paid, active Red Cross mem: ber, In addition, all are doing ‘thelr bit otherwise. Harold -Burnstad,. the only member of his family who is or Mraft age, is now at Great Lakes, (Ill, a raliting for the navy. Of the sev- ‘Arntz sons, four are of draft age, thteer hare ‘already been’ called. 13 Arntz's are probably the big- as the, most patri iibs fa Logan county.

The | daughters are a match for their big | brothers, and the average per capita | weight for the family is 200 pounds. In manpower they aggregate an even | 3,000. pounds. ‘F. Holmboe of the Publicity Film Service Co. at Bismarck, was down this week to photograph the seven. gi- ant sons, who are to 5e separated for the first time in their lives: by the | great war. The family farm; 2,000 acres of valuable Logan couniy land, and all of the boys have r2maiaed ai home. A “It has been some family ‘to feed, and I am glad they are all raised,” said proud (Mamma Arntz, after. the protographer had finished the group. “It hardly sounds possible, but when iW children were growing up I ihade—100 pounds of “butter a week oe jny family, and. we ate every z fresh fame in lies WHITESOX SCARCELY TOUCHED BY WAR; SHOULD BE FAVORITES As the baseball season nears it be- comes more and more apparent that the White Sox will have more than| an even chance to finish on the top} of the heap next fall. Of all the clubs in the American league the White Sox alone have been | scarcely touched by the war while the other seven have teen more or less; disrupted by the enlistment or draft- ing of essential players. About all Clarence Rowland has to er, Red Faber, will be called into ser- vice. Faber is unmarried and has been placed in Class 1A. He has stated that he will not ask exemption. Rowland’s big problem last year was his pitching staff. Outside of Cicotte and Faber he had no consist- ently reliable pitchers. Williams and Danforth were about his best bets and they perhaps will be able to come hrough with some good pitching this y Russell and Benz are about, through. Should Faber enter the army Row-; other meritorious purposes, It has{ also brought the sons a number of perfectly good propo: from suscep | tible damsels*to whom the glamor of; ranch life has appealed. Mamma Burn: | land will have the job of finding an- other good pitcher to take his place Paul Musser, iron man: of the West- ern league, will start the season with the Sox, but his success as a major leaguer is problematical. Otherwise, the team Rowland will place on the field is the same that de- feated the Giants in the world series last fall. The Indians and Red Sox, chief con- tenders with the White Sox last year are both pretty hard hit by the war. After the Indians had solved their big problem by putting Harris at first base Harris was caught in the draft, and Cleveland faces the proposition of finding another first baseman. The Indian pitching staff is badly crippled by the loss of Ed Klepfer. The Red Sox must cither make Stuffy McInnis into a second baseman or find someone who will be suitable on the keystone sack as both Barry and Janvrin are in war service. Thrird | hase also presents a problem for Bos- ton since Gardiner has been sent to Philadelphia, stad says that her boys will remain under her wing until Uncle Sam needs them. The oldest is. just 21, and the others are pe! mother’s cooking and d: EVERETT TRUE GET INTO THAT CHAIR I'M GOING TO.

At what age is his prowess superior to his efforts at other times? A little study of the ages at which ballplayers have had their greatest year is interesting. It shows that at about 25 or 26 the maximum of ef- ficiency is reached. Honus Wagner had his greatest year in 1900. At least he reached his maximum as a batsman that year and his fielding was never better. In 1900 Honus was 26 years old. He batted -380 for the season. Napoleon Lajoie had his best year in 1901 when he was 26. That year the great Frenchman batted for an astounding total of .422. Cobb’s star year was 1911 when he was 25, That year Cobb batted .420 and amassed 248 hits and 147 runs. When it is considered that there are few batters who get beyond 100 runs jor 200 hits a season it may be seen | how far ahead of the field Uobb was | that year, Matty had something like 16 great years, but the greatest of these was 1905 when he was 25. That year Mat- | ty won 31 and lost but hnine games out | of 40 and pitched three shutout games against the Athletics in the world ser- ies, an achievement which has never been equalled. : Ed Walsh’s super year, when he| won 40 games and lost 15, besides sav- ing a number for other pitchers, was ‘UNDER HANDICAP”’ HAS LOCAL COLOR Cow punchers who know how to act in motion pictures are used in ‘Harold Lockwood's Metro wonderplay, “Un- der Handicap,” which will be seen at the Orpheum matinee and tonight, In this protoplay made from Jacx- ison Gregory's novel, these men take part in a big round-up, this portion lof the picture having ‘been actually made on the scene of a, great’ Rodeo camp in Arizona. 4 While preparing for this picture Metro players were quartered in tents pitched on the banks of a wind- ing stream, with a thick growth of mesquite near by. The company had its own “chuch wagon” and cook, and the food supply was partly furnished |by Harold Lockwood and o-hers in {the company, who lived up to their reputation of being “crack shots... One of the ‘most exciting nioments in “Under Handicap” shows Anna Little “as the heroine galloping on horseback © after a swiftly «mcving train. She leaps from her. horse to the platform of the observation car. Two of the fastest hofses ever used jin motioin picture work were used in this scene, and the train which Miss Little caught was going et the rate of thirty miles an hour.

His re- cord of 40 wins has ‘been beaten by. only one pitcher, Chesbro having gone him one better, ‘Walter Johnson reached his best season in 1913 when he was 26. That year he won 36 and lost but seven games. He was 26: in 1913. It is hard to pick the greatest year of Grov- | er Alexander who has won more than 30 games during the last three sea- sons but he deliverdd these victories during his:.24th, 25th and 26th years. There are exceptions of course. Tris Speaker’s greatest year was 1916. He' was 29. i Joe Wood won 23 games and lost five in 1912 when he was but 23 and Rube Marquard was the same age the same year when he madeé'the remark- able run of 19 straight victories. But the majority of the gredt stars have been around 25 or 26 when they had their best seasons. AN (ARE UA 33k —in every town to sell Tribunes, Boys, look!
