titttirrg Guilty 31tbrprIthrtit4iiikurr REACHES MORE SANDERS COUNTY READERS THAN ANY OTHER PAPER THE SANDERS COUNTY LEDGER, VOLUME 14; NO. 29 MUST REGISTER NEXT THURSDAY ALL MEN FROM 18 TO 45 YEARS OF AGE MUST REPORT SEPTEMBER 12. REGISTRAR IN VOTING PRECINCT Penalty of One Year's Imprisonment for Any Who Fail to Comply With Provisions of New Law. Next Thursday, September 12, has been officially designated as the day for all men between the ages of 18 and 45 to register under the new draft law. In this county registra- tion places; will be provided in each of the 16 voting precincts, where- ever possible in the places usually devoted to the elections, to take care of those who arc required to com- ply with the law. As was the case in former regis- trations, everyone within the pre- scribed ages, except those who have previously registered or those actu- ally in the service, must register. No matter if one expects to be exempt- ed, he must fill out the card just as though he expected to be called. The matter of exemptions is one for the local boards to decide after the cards are completed. Failure to comply is punishable by a year's imprison- ment. In putting into effect the draft law the officials . have been learning bet- ter and nio're efficient ways of hand- ling it, and the new cards will re- quire considerably more information than was formerly asked for. The following is a summary of the data that must be furnished: 1. Name. 2. Permanent address. 3. Age. 4. Date of birth. 5. Race (white, negro, oriental or Indian). 6. Citizen or non -citizen. 7. If citizen, whether native born, naturalized or by father's naturaliza- tion before registrant's majority. 8. If an alien, whether or not you have declared your intention of be- coming a citizen. 9. If you have not declared your intention to become a citizen, of what nation you are a subject. 10. Present occupation. 11. Employer's name. 12. Place of employment or busi- ness. 13. Name and address of nearest relative. For special cases the following regulations will apply: The sick will be registered by per- sons deputized to make the registra- tion. Felons will be registered by the wardens of the penitentiaries. Persons awaiting trial and mis- demeanants will be treated as absent -4 ees, except that their registration cards will be obtained and filled out by the jailers. Indians will be registered under the supervision of the Commission- er of Indian Affairs. Absentees may secure from any local board a registration card which will be filled out and certified, turn- ed over to the absentees and by them mailed to the local board having jur- isdiction of the area in which they permanently reside. Persons in training camps, schools colleges and similar institutions will register as above. In any case where there is doubt as to the method or place of regis- tration, reference should be made to the nearest local board for a ruling. If the designation and address of the local board is not known, address the mayor in a city of 30,000 popula- tion or over; and to the clerk of the county at the county scat where there is no town of 30,000 population. The officials estimate that 13,000,- 000 men will be registered on this date, or 3,000,000 more than respond- ed at the time of the first registra- tion. This means that about 1000 will be affected in Sanders county, so that it will be well to visit the regis- tration places as early as possible in order that- the most careful attention can be given to each one. 'Your conscience will not reproach you if you make good your War Sav- ings pledge. SERVICES AT WHITEPINE \Yankee Ed\ Jeamby Has Been Con- ducting a Series of Evangelistic Meetings the Past Week. \Yankee Ed\ Jeamby, a young evangelist who was formerly assoc- iated with the Prospect Heights Presbyterian church at Brooklyn, N. Y., has been holding a series of meet- ings during the past week at Winn's Mr, and Mrs. Jeamby. hall at Whitepine, with a good at- tendance and good sneers. The services on Sunday were made a community day and were attended by many from the surrounding coun- try. Lunch baskets were brought and duuring the intermission be- tween services the well-known chick- en was very much in evidence. To- night the final service will be held and the evangelist will speak on \The American Home—It's Part in the Present and Future.\ Mr. Jeamby is ait America.. therisgh at On -osier/ and enjoys a lick at the kaiser once in awhile. \Who will win the war?\ he asks. Why the side that God is on. God is a God of war and of peace. The old testament shows us how an army, was victorious only When God was the leader. We will win the war when the allied nations attain a stan- dard of righteousness and justice that is well and pleasing in the sight of God. I believe the war will knock the American liquor traffic head over heels.\ Mrs. Jeamby is a sister of George Graham, a well known Whitepine rancher. The couple has been ors an extended evangelistic tour of the Pacific coast and are now returning to the middle west. They expect to be in this part of the country again next spring to answer a few invita- tions for special meetings in sur- rounding towns. BOUND OVER FOR ASSAULT Dolph F.

NOTICE Every man and woman in the vi- cinity of Trout Creek, Larchwood and Tuscor who is or ought to be interested in Red Cross work and all it means to our boys over there, are hereby notified that we shall hold a special meeting at Peek's hall, Trout Creek, at 2 p. in. on Saturday, Sept. 14th. Be sure to be there and we'll go over the top as usual. SAM E. BUTTON, Chairman l'ro Tern. 'While assisting in the patriotic work of grain stacking on the Mur- ray ranch near here, Tom Evans met with a severe shaking up last Sat- urday. When the loaded wagon was driven into a chuck hole, he was thrown off the load, striking on his head and shoulders, and he was for- tunate in escaping with no more ser- ious injuries than a severe shaking up, An examination of Tom's blis- tered hands is convincing evidence that he did not shirk on the job. Is County Agent Work to Be Dropped Without Protest? About a year and a half ago the county commissioners entered into an agreement with the extension de- partment of the College at Bozeman whereby the services of a county ag- ricultural agent upon the payment of $100 per month, or less than half the cost of maintaining the work. At the session of the board this week it was decided to discontinue the ar- rangement and dispense with the services. The reasons for the action are ex- tremely vague, and as far 25 is known did not result from any dissatisfac- tion on the part of the ranchers eith- er with the results of the work or with Mr. F. M. Hillman who has been serving as agent. The idea evi- dently originated with the commis- sioners without consulting the ones who are supposed to benefit directly from the arrangement. We are not in a position to judge the results of the county agent work in all parts of the county, but as far as they have come within our ob- servation, they have been more than satisfactory. We did not expect him to double the crop production by a magic waving of the hand or to per - make any remarkable improvements by his own efforts. We did expect, however, that he would assist the ranchers to gradually improve their methods and by acting as a medium between them, would encourage a spirit of co-operation that would ben- efit them greatly. We believe he has accomplished all that any man could under the cir- cumstances and in the time that he has had to get acquainted with the people and the conditions. His work is mainly that of encouraging and helping the ranchers to help them- selves, and in this we believe he has been more than successful. We believe this is a matter that the ranchers are vitally interested in and that they should have been con- sulted very carefully before the ac- tion was taken. If they have learned anything about co-operation in mat- ters that concern them, and consid- er that the county agent work is of practical benefit to them, now is the time o put hat co•operaion into ef- fect and show the commissioners in unmistakable terms that titey want the work continued. • It is a matter for them to act upon and we hope they will not hestitate to get busy at once before the work is seriously interrupted.

A new shipment of yarn has been received so that all v. ho need a sup- ply\ can secure it by calling at the work room. Workers are urged to keep on knitting as the socks are needed. The rooster which was sent here from Plains where it had brought $78 for the Red Cross, and was forward- ed to Trout Creek after bringing $125 here, again proved its worth as a money getter by bringing $40. He has now been sent to Wallace to con- tinue his good work. The Thompson Falls branch has arranged with two lndiag lecturers to appear at the Rex theatre on Mon- day, Sept. 23. In connection with this the management is trying to ar- range for one of the Red Cross films to be shown at the same time. The speakers come very highly recom- mended and are expected to provide an interesting program. More defi- nite announcement will be made next week. The following shipment was made this week: 22 Sweaters. 102 pairs socks 60 pajama suits. 24 helpless case shirts 50 bandaged foot socks. 13 pair ward slippers. 5 underdrawers. 5 undredrawers. 175 girls petticoats. 50 boys summer suits. 51 pinafores. 13 fancy bags. 10 quilts. 15 girls dresses. 3700 gun wipes. NEW WHEAT FLOUR RULES 20 Per Cent Substitutes Mixed With Flour or 20 Per Cent of Corn or Barley Separately. New wheat flour rulings, as an- qounced by James M. Self, recently appointed County Food Administra- tor, are much simpler than the old regulations governing the propor- tionate use of substitutes and wheat flour. While the new rulings in ef- fect Over the nation on September 1 call for the manufacture of a flour that has 20 per cent of substieurtol• ground into it, it is still permissible for the merchant to sell standard wheat flour, but only in case he sells 20 per cent of corn or barley flour at the same time. The new regulations sent out may be summarized as follows: Wheat flour with 20 per cent sub- stitutes mixed with it may be sold as \Victory Mixed Flours\. Substi- tutes for this mixture will be corn and barley flour. No other substi- tutes will be recognized. Manufacturers of the mixed flours must take out an internal revenue license, as heretofore. Where straight wheat flour is sold, 20 per cent of the above named sub- stitute flours must be sold at the same time. (This annuls the old 50- 50 rule.) Rye flour may be sold as a substi- tute, but only in the proportions of two pounds of rye flour to three pounds of wheat flour. There is no limit on the amount of wheat flour that consumers may now buy at one time, nor is there any limit on the amonnt that may be consumed within any given time; provided, of course, that the pur- chase is accompanied by 20 per cent substitutes, either mixed in the flour or sold separately. The Food Ad- ministration, in making this change in the regulations, however, asks the American people to continue the spirit of economy in fooa, that we may provide safely for the 220,000,- 000 people *ho are at war with Ger- many. Bakers are required to use 20 per cent substitutes in baking, but are not limited in the total amount of flour used. Where millers sell di- rectly be consumers, they must fol- low the same rules As beretofore. You will feel better if you keep your war savings pledge. RATE SECURED SANDERS COUNTY NOW IN- CLUDED IN HALF RATE TERRITORY. C ANTY AGENTS ISSUE PERMITS Ranchers and Dealers May Get Con- cession Only If purchasing Feed or Seed in Car Load Lots. The Montana State Fair will open at Helena next Monday, Sept. 9, and continue to the 14th. Through the efforts of County Agent Hillman, Sanders county has been included in the territory which is to benefit from the reduced rate on feed recently allowed by the Rail- way Administration for the relief of those who suffered from the drouth this year. The original plan includ- ed this county, but through some er- ror in the order it was left out. Cor- respondence on the subject with the authorities has cleared the Mai - ter up now, and the local buyers will be able to obtain the one-half freight rate. The regulations and method of pro- cedure in obtaining the reduction are set birth in the following circular from F. L. Beers, field agent for the extension service: \The United States Railroad Ad- ministration has granted for the re- lief of the Montana drtnight situation, a one-half freight rate on carlots of feeds and seed grains, shipped from any part of the United States. The commodities coming under the re- duced freight rate are: \Hay straw, feed grains, ground feeds, concentrated feeds such as lin- seed feed products, cottonseed feed products, cocoanut feed products, peanut feed products, soy bean feed products and velvet beans in pods, malt sprouts and all other feeds for animal consumption, and also seed grains. \Parties who are entitled to ship in feed under the reduced freight rate may do so by making applica- tion to their county agents. The county agent, upon satisfying himself of the, right of the applicant to the privilege, will issue a 'Drought Area Permit' for each car of which the party intends to make immediate shipment. \The applicant will then order the car or cars and upon arrival of the shipment will surrender the permit to the local railroad agent, who will accept one-half of the regular tariff in full payment of the freight. \The county agents shall deride to whom permits should be issued, their decisions being governed by local conditions as they relate to the rules and regulations prescribed by the U. S. Railroad Administration and in- terpreted by the Bozeman office. The decision of the Bozeman office shall be final in any case wherein the county agent questions the right of any party to the privilege. \The county agent should exercise extreme care in passing on applica- tions and should any application be surrounded by unusual or perplexing conditions, the Bozeman office should be consulted. -.\Dealers having distributing facil- ities wfthin the affected territory may secure permits. It is the intention of this service, however, to refuse ad- ditional permits to any dealer who has attempted, on any previous ship- ment, to add any gortion of the one- half freight rate reduction to his profits, or who in any other manner has violated the spirit or the regula- tioss of the reduced rate privilege. \This service intends. that no ex- tortionate profit shall be made on any shipmnt made through it and any dealer who refuses'agents of this service access to his books and files when any question of this character arises may be refused additional per- mits. \The county agents, being on the ground, have been granted consider- able latitude in the granting of per- mits. They should bear in mind that the object of the order is to assist in the planting of crops and to re- sist the depletion of the livestock supply. Whenever, at any place within the drought area, these ends can be obtained by granting the priv- (Codtin\ued on page 2)
