appointed for that particular place
Those living in the country tributary
can bring in a sufficient amount Of
grain of one kind or another, dispose
of it at local elevators and donate the
proceeds to the local representative
of that place, or if they prefer, leav-
ing the money with the agent at the
elevator or local banks, who will take
the name of the giver and the amount
and turn the cash and name over to
the local representative. This plan
will make it more convenient to those
who live in the country and who no
doubt will want to give to this worthy
cause. Business men in all the cities
of the county can donate in cash am
cunts representing the value of one or
more sacks of -four. It was suggested
at the meeting that since there are
many Farmers Clubs throughout the
county, that as far as convenient they
could meet as an organization, and
send in their donation, to their nearest
local representative or bank. When all
the funds are secured in the several
towns and townships the entire am
cunt can be sent to Major E. S. Per-
son, president Of the Union National
Bank at Minot, and who was appoint
ed by Gov. L. B. Hanna, as the chair
man of the Belgian Relief Committee
for Ward county. When all donations

chased and shipped.
1t is believed that with an organiza-
ton of that kind actively working, and
in every section, Ward county will
meet the situation and do its full share
toward relieving the great suffering
Of the people in Belgium.
Why should the people of Ward
county give and give generously :?
First: Because, at time when half
the world is engaged in devastating
war, this nation is at peace. Second:
we have been blessed with bountiful
crop that has brought with it prosper
ity in great abundance. Third: we
should give because it's good thing
to give to those whose need is great
and that need growing greater daily.
Fourth: we should give and generously
because the war, the direct cause OF
this great suffering, made the high
prices, for all kinds of grain, possible
in this country and county. We should,
therefore, give a little out of the much
we have received.
Let everybody get interested, bust,
ness men, farmers, churches and
schools, so that car loads of flour will

Valley City Courier: There is an
impression that the vote on woman
suffrage in North Daota finally dis
posed of the matter, which is not the
case. The proposition that was voted
down at the last election was in the
nature of a law passed by the last
legislature and put up to the people
for their acceptance or rejection. It
was not proposed amendment to the
constitution, and, if adopted, could
have been repealed by any session Of
the legislature. The matter will again
come up before the next legislature in
January, in the shape Of a constitu-
tional amendment for the same OBJ
ject, and if it is passed by the next
legislature, will again be put up for
final ratification by the people, and,
if ratified, will be put into effect. The
agitation for woman suffrage has evil
IDENTIFY not been entirely disposed Of

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW
OF WEEK L IN TRADE | !

New York, Dec. 1s.--Bradstreets
journal will say tomorrow:
Trade currents run along. irregular
lines ON the one hand. retail trade
has been helped by two factors. holi-
day buying and cold weather. but in
the larger lines, the immediate situa-
ton is quiet, reflecting pre-inventory
conditions plus seasonal slowing down
in Industrial pursuits. At the same
time. optimism as to the future Is more
in evidence, thanks to lower rates for
money, Improvement in financial mar
kets and the rendering of decision
in the eastern railway freight case.
Incidentally. buying of finished steel
as well as of cotton goods tor future
delivery has expanded somewhat, quo
tations being sufficiently attractive to
induce business. Bank clearings for
the week aggregate s2,S97 ,662. 900. a
decrease of 1913 per cent from this
week last year. Business failures for
the week were 466, against 37S last

LAY FIRE TO WIRE:

COMPENSATION
TWO SUITS AGAINST LIGHT AND

OF FIRE AT VICTOR

Hamilton, Dec. 1S-(Special 1.-The
damage salts brought by Ellen Dent
and James Colligan of Victor against
the Missoula Light & Water company
were started yesterday noon in the dis
trict court and continued through to-
day. The former is suing for damages
in the sum of $1,000, the latter for
$500. Colligan's house was DESTROYED
at Victor by fire early in the year,
Ellen Dents personal property beins
burned with the house.
James Colligan was on the stand
Yesterday, and in support of the theory
that the fire was caused by defective
wiring by the light company, testified
that three electric wires ran from a
pole to the Hemmer building adjoining
the Colligan building, crossing a corner
Of the roof of the latter building. 1T
is alleged that two of the wires were
bracketed to the Col1igan roof While
the third was free to swing when the
wind blew. Colligan's testimony was
that the wires rubbed together until
the insulation was worn from the free
wire for several feet so that the brass
wire could be seen. Colligan left the
building at o'clock in the morning
and the fire was not discovered until
shortly after noon the same day.
George Waters and H. a. Briggs
were on the stand today and testified
that they were among the first TO
reach the building and discovered fire
in the corner of two adjoining bed
rooms. but that the flames could not
be seen from the outside of the build
ing when they broke into the structure.
The two cases are being tried at the
same time before one jury.
The plaintiffs are represented pE
Attorneys II. H. Parsons of Mlssoula
and w. H. Rager of Stevensville, while

senting the light company.
