U. S. Man P ur 25,175,000
BY MILTON BRONNER
Washington, D. C., Aug. S.l -hat is the man-power of America ?
Five million is the goal the War Department has set for itself. This
means that 4,000,000 men are to be placed in France, with 1,000,000 more
in training here.
If more are needed, millions will be forthcoming. Here are some fig
ures on America's man-power:
Males between 21 and 31 registered last year .............. • ...." 9,500,000
Young men who have since become 21, registered last June............ 750,000
Young men 21 since then, registered Aug. 24 ............... ............. 150,000
Estimated number who will register when the draft is extended to
men between 18 and 45................................................ ............13,500,000
Marine Corps ...................................................................... 75,000
U. S. Navy......... ...................... ...... . ........................... .... ..... ...... 400,000
The old regular army and natiohal guard .................................. 800,000
GRAND TOTAL .............,..................................... 25,175,000
Of course, from this number finally must be deducted cripples, unfit
and enemy aliens, but a staggering total would still be left.
The army of ,5,500,000 will be selective in every sense of the word.
Uncle Sam will choose the most physically and mentally fit to be his
soldiers.

COUNTY POLITICIANS
PREPARE FOR FALL DRIVE
A loyalty meeting was held in
Plentywood Wednesday of this week,
attended by the politicians of Sheri
dan county, which wound up in a
Republican-Democratic alliance. The
politicians selected candidates to run
on the Independent ticket against the
Farmers Nonpartisan League candi
dates at the general election this
fall.
Apparently the acid test the Farm
ers N. P. L. applied to the strength
of the politicians' vote at the primary
election in August had good effect,
and the gang are re-enforcing them
selves preparatory to the fall drive
which will surely bring them nothing
but defeat at the hands of the farm
ers.
The tactics the politicians will use
during the coming campaign is not
yet known, but it is a safe bet that
they will use considerable camouflage.
ARCHER COUPLE MARRIED
AT PLENTYWOOD WED.
W. B. Newlon and Miss Ida Moe,
both of Archer, were married at the
Congregational parsonage in Plenty
wood on Wednesday evening by Rev.
Savage.
Mr. Newton is the Great Northern
depot agent at Archer, having been
stationed at that place a little over a
year, in which time he has made a
wide acquaintance.
Miss Moe, who is a sister to the
Moe Brothers, farmers and business
men at Archer, is too well known in
that community to need an introduc
tion. She is an estimable young lady
and has a host of friends.
The newlyweds will make their
home at Archer.
OUTLOOK CHAUTAUQUA

one of the five programs will meet

rSOLDIER WA1TS THE PRO
DUCERS NEWS IMORWARDED
The Producers News is in receipt
of a letter from Olat Nordby, form
er elevator manager at Raymond, now
a soldier in training at Camp Lewis,
Wash., who asks that this newspaper
be forwarded to ~his present address,
In a postscript Rr. Nordby says,
"'Uncle Sam sure does take good care
of us boys here at Camp Lewis." His
address is, Olaf Nordby, Base Hos
pital, 93rd Divison, Camp Lewis,
American Lake, Wash.
A contingent of sixteen Sheridan
county men, just two squads, includ
ing Art Pronvost of Poplar, and
Anton Paul Beyer of Plentywood, the
former who was transferred from the
Detroit, Mich., board, and the latter
from the LaMoure, N. D., board, en
trained here on Thursday morning
and are now on their way to Camp
Lewis, American Lake, Wash.
The local board called seventy men
from over the county to entrain on
this date, but it appeals that fifty
six of the selectives were placed in
deferred classification until Novem
ber 1st, this year. The board sent
out a call yesterday for enough men
to fill the quota of seventy, whic'i
means that an additional fifty-six
men will entrain here shortly.
Those whom received deferred clas
sifications until November, was due
probably to the fact that they were
needed at home to help with the
threshing and fall farm work.
The usual preliminary ceremonies
were held at the Community Hall
Wednesday afternoon, and a free
dance was given at the Orpheum
that night for the boys. The Plenty
wood band played several selections
and headed the parade from the Com
munity hall to the depot.
Following is a list of the boys who
left to join the colors and do their
bit for the nation:
