JUST Y TO KEEP UP

We are pleased, to note that the Re-
corder- Post is able to add to it's equip

is banking a little too much on his
machine when he saws that with that
addition he will b able to get out a
paper better than any the town has ever
seen. People are asking if he expects
the machine to make copy to REPLACE

Editor Geo. A. Totten nov ..has the
destinies of the Bowman Citizen in his
hands. He was formerly Rev. Geo. A.
Totten, pastor of the Congregational
church of the county seat town of Bow
man county. However, crop failure
and other reverses made it impossible
for the people to pay their pastor and
he is now trying out the newspaper field
for a living. and possibly he will find
as great opportunity for doing good as
when filling the pulpit. The change is
a little unique anyway.

heated throughout, and equipped with
the latest devices for ventilating. The
electric lighting is superbly done, and
this is the work of the local electric
plant.
There are six large art-glass me-
mortal windows in the main auditori-
um and two in the two front vesti-
bules. All the other windows are also
of art-glass, the design and colors of
which are unsurpassed by those any
where in this country.
The new building was constructed
under the supervision of the following
committee:
The Rev. Louis Bristow, chairman;

Stark, w. P. Wham, T. A. Putnam, j.

The house of worship was complet-
ed in November, 1911, and the first
service was held December 3rd. The
dedicatory exercises were held De-
cember 81, 1911.
The building committee then turned
it's attention to the erection Of par
sonage, and in July the handsome
building in the rear of the church, on
Lane street, was completed. 1t also
is built of white pressed brick upon a
blue granite foundation, the upper
story being succeed. This house is
two stories, with four rooms and bath
on each floor, and basement.

of time in any war in history.
No allowance was made. Tor the
number of victims of the various mas
sacres charged against both sides.
That list from all accounts has been
an appalling one, but reports have
been as yet too indefinite for the bas-
ing of an estimate.
A heavy allowance must also be
made, the authorities said, for those
who have succumbed to starvation
and disease. Until more detailed In
formation has been received from the
Constantinople side the score OF those
already dead from these causes will
also remain the merest guess work.
Probably the estimators surmlzed,
the massacre, starvation and cholera
victims will foot up three or four
times the total of both killed and
wounded in actual battle.
Military men placed the financial
cost of the war in excess Of the ex-
penses of keeping up the Balkan
states regular military establish
ments, at $2,5OO,OO0 daily since the
war began, or about SIPS, 1000 thus
far. OF course this did not include
losses through the prostration of trade
and the destruction Of property or the
value of the services Of the men killed
or manned for life.
