APPEAL MADE TO LODGES
They Will Be Asked to Assist in Rais.
In $4,000 Needed for the Silver
Service.

A new appeal will be issued tomor-
row by the commission In charge of
the collection Of funds for the silver
service that will be presented by the
state to the United States battleship
North Dakota. This appeal will be
tons of North Dakota in the hone
that the patriotic spirit Of those who
have not yet contributed to the fund
will do so and in that provide
for the last $4,000 of the $40, 600 fund
necessary.
The letter which will go out over
h signature of Secretary b. F..
Brockhoff follows:
The committee in charge of COL
Letting the fund for the purchase Of
the silver service for the battleship
North Dakota have been notified that
they will be required to present the
silver service as soon as possible as
the battleship will be leaving for for
eign waters this winter. The commit
tee was in hopes that all cities Of
North Dakota would send in their
subscriptions. but they have not all
done so, and the committee believes
that the only way for them to reach
the patriotic citizens is to appeal to
the different lodges and associations
Of the state.
THE committee hopes that your
response will be generous so that suf-
ficient funds will be collected by this
appeal to enable us to present the
service to the battleship that bears
the name Of the great state Of North
Dakota. The silver service is waiting
for presentation and the b%attleship
had been in service almost two years.
We therefore hope that. you will as
sist us in preserving the honor of our
state in the minds of the officers and
me on the battleship that bears our
name."

Escaped From Hospital and
Captured Two Hours
, Later Near a Church

Apparently entirely satisfied with
her surroundings, Mrs. Johanna Mel.
eord, aged 20, was found about 4:30
O'Clock this morning seated in a dark
recess OF the German Lutheran church
at the corner Of Belmont avenue ana
Fifth street after having made her es.
cape o III Deaconess hospital two
hours earlier.
Clothed in only her night gown and
not yet entirely recovered from the
enects OF an operation which she un.
aerwent q short time ago, the woman
mas seemingly gone through her night
experiences without any new ills be.
ing added.
Her. mode Of escape from the hos.
pital was entirely original for q WON
an OF her advanced age. Using bed.
ding and clothing she tied them to.
gether In such manner as to form 8
rope and this she securely fastened
in the room.
The crude rope affair was Ions
enough to reach from the second story
window to the ground and Mrs. Mel.
cord was successful in departing in
that manner, crawling down the rope
and getting away in short order. The
alarm was spread within q few mo.
ments after she had left the room, but
the search was not successful until
about NJ hours later when she was
found seated in a recess Of the church
building.
Mrs. Melgord has been in the hos.
pital about three months, and lately
mas been acting queerly. She ownt
some property on Dakota avenue.

better, still, will have bettered it.
There were very few people In
Grand Forks who were without tags
today. Even the man who goes to
work real early found that the down
town districts had been invaded by the
tag wonderland they bought. Then
the Office man who has the privilege
Of appearing on the scene of action
later in the day arrived. and he found
that there were still enough tags for
his wants.
The tag vendors, and there were
over $50 Of them at work almost the
entire day. found their task a pleas
ant one, as there were few who did
not respond quite readily and in a
generous manner. :. . = .ts. e. F.

of nickles. dimes, quarters. half dol
even larger prices were paid for the
little red tag.
The tags were rather popular. They
were to be found on the coats Of men
and women alike, while even the de.
