Peru students are being delighted and greatly benefited this week by a series of lectures on rural education by Dr. Foght, the celebrated national specialist in rural education. In spite of the war situation, Peru has a larger enrollment of boys than was expected. All the regular courses will be offered this fall, as it is felt that the need of trained teachers will be greater than ever. The nw courses for rural teachers will be in full operation at the open ing of the fall term. These include a two years course for mature students who have completed the work in the elementary schools, also an added two years' course for high school grad uates and teachers of experience. The Teachers' Bureau of the Normal School has received more calls this &Tear than ever before for teachers who are competent to take charge of rural high schools. These calls come from every part of Nebraska. Peru enthusiasm and the old-fashioned Peru spirit dsmonstrated itself in a marked degree at a general con vocation recently, when the budget tickets for school activities were of fered for sale. The budget committee had set the mark at 400 tickets, but the students purchased G02 tickets within the period of a few minutes. The budget system at Peru permits the students to attend all school activ ities for the entire summer, including the Dramatic club play, "Cousin Kate," which was fine, indeed; sev eral base ball games, a stunt event, and a six-day chautauqua. The same chautauqua numbers will appear in Peru that are to come to Plattsmouth. The budget ticket covers all these things, for the nominal sum of two dollars. The budget committee has pur chased two one-hundred dollar Liberty bonds with money which has been saved since the budget system has been in use. Peru's share of Red Cross work will be "done. The boys are giving their money and the fiirls are doing their share of the work. Prof. Beck, who has served with the regulars, is giving military drill, which is very popular with the boys and a large number are taking part. Omaha, June 27. Secretary of War Baker today fini.lly confirmee Major General Barry's choice of Des Moines, la., as the site of one of the sixteen army cantonment camps, over the protest of committees from Oma ha, Cedar Rapids, la., ami the Twin Cities. The draft army from the thirteenth district, inaluding Minne sota, the Dakotas, Nebraska and Iowa will be trained at this point. In a supplemental report to the se- retary of war, General Barry stated that after personal examination of the grounds at Des Moines lie was en ti rely satisfied of its suitability for military purposes. Omahan's Efforts. An Omaha committee left last nitrht for Chicago, where they were to meet General Barry this morning and pre sent Omaha's advantages for the can tonment camp. Thy intended to ask General Barry to come to Omaha him self and look over two sites, one north and one west ol l Jorcnce. as well as the originally proposed site near Fort Crook. This committee did not see Genera Barry before the confirmation of the Des Moines selection was announced at Washington. Another umana committee, in Washington, had received assurance from Secretary Baker that Omaha's prospectus would receive due atten tion from General Barry. Although Omahans were boosting until after Des Moines choice was finally announced, their hopes of se curing the cantonment camp were high at no time. Committee on Beturn. It is felt here that the Omaha site did not receive the attention due it by the inspecting army oi'iccrs. The noon after Colonel Morgan and his commission were in Omaha a tele gram advising the Omaha committee to go no further with its arrange ments lor trie contonment was re ceived. The cantonment at Washington and Chicago will begin their return trip today. The committee to see General Barry consisted of T. C. Byrne, II. E. Newbranch, H. II. Baldrige, Luther Drake, G. W. Holdrege, John L. Ken nedy. II. A. Tukey, Victor Kosewater and Gould Diets.

Fur ther details of the plan by which the young men to compose the new na tional army will be selected imper sonally from Washington were learn ed today. Under the plan proposed by Gen eral Crowder every card in every reg istration unit in the United States will be numbered from one up to the limit of registration in that unit. Corresponding numbers will be placed in a bcx and drawn out by the military and naval committees of the house and senate until as many num bers are drawn as are necessary to make up the 1,500,000 men who will be selected at the first drawing. Thus, for example, if the commit tees should draw out of the box No. 182, every young man in the country whose registration card bears the number 182 would be regarded as se lected for service. The provost mar shal general has received from each legistration unit word of how many registrations there were in that unit. The numbers to be placed in the by the committee, it would mean that est number of registrations in the largest unit in the United States. Thus, if No. 1 should be drawn out by th committee, it would mean that there will be one man drawn from every unit, but if a high number, such as 700, should be drawn, no man would be selected from many units, for the reason that there were not inat many registrations in many places. , If by this process any state should be called on to furnish more than its fair quota of troops, its numbers would" le reduced without affecting the draft, because a large surplus of men will be drawn to provide for such emergencies. It has been determined by the pro vost marshal general that this is the best method that can be devised to insure a fair drawing. GOOD LAW ADOPTED DY THE MODERN WOODMEN The Modern Woodmen of America at tneir neau camp at Chicago last week adopted a measure that is to be lade a part of the law of the order that is patriotic and shows the feel ing that beats within the hearts of these composing this great fraternity. This was the adoption of a law pro viding for the payment by each mem ber of 20c per month additional on their assessments for the purpose of the payment of the insurance policies of the members of the order who are in the service of their country and may be killed in battle or at sea. This provision means that each man of the Woodman order who is killed in ac- ion or dies in the service will leave to his beneficiaries a policy of $1,000. This small sum each month from every member will amply care for all claims that will arise from the losses in battle and will bring relief to those who have their loved ones taken away, while to the soldier and sailor it means that his policy in the M. W. A. is as good as gold and will be paid through the fraternal spirit of his fellow members. "Malta," the best temperance bev erage. JUanutacturea dv Jacoo Schmidt at St. Paul, Minn.
