THE REST ROOM.

Many Eastern cities are just nov
awakening to the self evident fact tina
the REST Room" is of more real i'm
portance to a town than any othel
booster" institution in town, and are
taking hold of the matter with re
newed energy. 1t has been demon
strated that in towns where a good
large and properly arranged "rest
room" is kept open, that the catalog
house business has fallen off more
than fifty per cent and that the feel
ing between the farmers and the towns
people and the feeling between the
people of the small cities and small
villages is much better with a place of
this kind in operation.
The importance of the Valley City
Woman's Exchange and Rest Room
should not be lost sight If. Already
many farmers in the county come to
Valley City with their families and
make the Exchange headquarters and
go there to eat lunch and wait when
necessary. This institution is main
tanned by band of heroic women
without cost to the city but the propo-
sition is growing so large now, and is
of such vital importance to every bust
ness house in the city that immediate
steps ought to be taken to help the
women by arranging for the payment
Of the ,cnt and perhaps other items of
expense.
A rest room is no longer al expert.
ment but tried out and successful in.
vestment that will pay better returns
on the investment, in an agricultural
community, than anything offered at
several times the price. If there is
anyone who is skeptical let them WIS.,

at about five in the evening. talk with
the women in charge and see what is
being done, and they will come away.
like the Times Record, convinced that
this small institution Is carrying on q

FARGO NEWSPAPER
COURT news

Fargo, N. D., Feb. 10.-Warrants are
out for the arrest Of A. NJ. Hatcher and
M. N. Hatcher on the charge 5of EN-
bezzlement, and the hearing will be
held in Judge Miller's court at an early
date. Assistant Attorney General AL
fred M. Zuger is prosecuting the case.
The complaint charges that the de.
PENDANTS Incorporated funds sub
scribed for the purpose Of purchasing
the Forum Publishing Co. and organic
ing the Courier-Forum Publishing Co.,
and that they used these funds,
amounting to about $1,000, for their
own use, and for the use of the Courier
Publishing Co. The complaint is sign.
ed by George Hancock.
The Courier-Forum Publishing Co.
was organized for the purpose of buy
ing out the Forum Publishing Co. and
consolidating the two companies. It
was capitalized at 100000. Stock was
sold to the amount of about $4,000. A
first payment of $4,000 was made on
the purchase of the Forum Publishing
Co., but on April 2, 1912, the contract
to buy the Forum Publishing Co. was
repudiated in writing, the purchasers
claiming that there had been misrep-
resentation regarding the circulation
and in other respects. Suit was be-
gun for the recovery of thu amount
paid in and this suit Is still pending.
1t is asserted BY the plaintiffs in the
present action that the remainder of
The $4,000 should have been paid back
TO the stockholders as soon as the
purchase Of the Forum Publishing Co..
was repudiated. But it is charged that
instead of returning the money the
o. M. Hatcher and NJ. N.
Hatcher, used the money for their own
lse, and for the use of the Courier
Publishing Co., and hence the action is !
for embezzlement.
The plaintiffs in the case are Col. C.
}. Whittlesey, Sen. w. P. PorterGeld,
7. T. Purcell, Col. J. NJ. Kelly, of
Devils Lake, w. L. Parkins of Man
Ian, Secretary of State Thomas Hall,
md a number of others.

DOG SAVES MASTERS LIFE
MAN ALMOST SUI
FicATED BY COAL GAS AWAK.
ENED By ANIMAL.

Lidgerwood, N. D., Feb. &c. c.
Smith of this city owes his life to his
pet dog. A day which proved to be
regular blizzard and prevented any of
the household from venturiDg out into
the storm, kept Mr.. Smith at home,
busy taking care of the coal stoves
which were burning up an unusually
lot of the black diamonds.
Even the old household watch dog
seemed to cuddle up little closer to
the range than ever before and while
on other days he was forced to find re.
fuge in the barn, last night was given
the use Of the warm room, as the bliz-
GARD was too severe for even a dog to
stand and Mr. Smith took extra pains
to see that the animal was provided
for before he retired for the night.
Late in the evening Mr.. Smith was
awakened from his slumbers by the
noise of something scratching on the
door. He hastily dressed and in sort
OF dazed way looked around. Seeing
nothing unusual, he went back to bed.
Again and again the dog kept
scratching at the door and finally
Smith coming to realization that
something was wrong, and half stag
geri1g to the door, detected the odor
.of coal ooe Coming partly to his
senses he awakened the rest of the
members of the household and restor-
satives administered to himself and the
Others, no i'll results following. The
dog had detected the odor of escaping
gas before anyone was aware of the
fact and his scratching at the door of
his master had saved his life and that
of the others. as the room was rapidly
filing with the subtle poison and

MARINE COMPANY
DEFERS PAYMENT
ON OCT. l BONDS
Loss of Business Because of Eu-
ropean War Is Given as
The Reason

New York, Sept. 24.-The Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine, controlling
the White Star, Red Star. American
mad the Atlantic Transport Lines, to-
day announced that it had decided to
defer for the present payment OF the
semi annual interest on it's 4 1-2 per
cent bonds due Oct. /. Loss of bust
ness because of the war in Europe
was given as the reason.
Since Jan. l, 1914 reads a state
ment by the company, business both
passenger and freight has been very
unsatisfactory and the company has
not fully. earned fixed charges for the
period ending July 81. Under ordinary
operating conditions it might be rea-
sonably anticipated that the deficiency
would be made up during the remain
ing five months of the fiscal year.
Now, however, the European war has
brought the entire ocean transporta-
ton situation into an extremely I'M
settled condition and necessitated the
complete withdrawal Of the important
and profitable services of the Red Star
Line to Antwerp making it impossi-
BILE to form any estimate of the com
pany's earnings for the balance of the
year.

to Warsaw. The Russian general.
Rennenkampf, is guarding this line.
1t protects the Russian sources of
supply and prevents any outflanking
movement against the Russian army
of attack, which already, according
to news in London, is beginning to
operate in the direction of Posen and
Breslau, in Germany. The left of
this line rests on Warsaw, from which
point railroads tap the rich and pop
ulous district extending to Odessa.
The occupation of Galicia links up the
Warsaw railroad system and is re-
garded in London as insuring both
supplies and reinforcements for the
attacking army.
That the stage is virtually set for
this attack is indicated by the news
that the Germans are hastily REIN
forcing their line between Thorn and
Kaliss, this latter point being south
east of Posen, even to the extent of
abandoning their positions against
General Rennenkampf.
Not only have the Russians cut off
Prussia's domestic supply of gasoline

RUSSIANS HAVE

possibility of the Austro- German
forces near Przemysl effecting a juno
ton with the other armies further
west has now been excluded, as the
Russians have reached the river Wis.,
lok, says a dispatch from Petrograd
to the Morning Post. The message
continues:
ITO the south of Przemysl the Rus
sian operations are now being direct
ed with a view to the capture of
Khyruy a junction station 20 miles
south of Przemysl, which will COM
pletely cut off the Austrians last Ga
lician fortress from railway commu-
nication in any direction and give
the Russians command of all routes
towards Cracow and the lines passing
into Hungary.
THE position now held indicates
the rolling up of the Austrian forces
right up to Cracow. 1t is believed
here now that the investment of
Przemysl has been practically com
pleted and that another week at least
will bring news of the final crushing
of the Austro- German forces"

Urea, but from the east comes news
which here is taken to show that
Russia has almost completed the first

The fall Of the Austrian fortress of
Jaroslau virtually completes the in
vestment of Przemysl, SO far as lines
OF communication are concerned. Even
the continued occupation of C-aeow
by Austrian and German forces has
not aided in that junction of Aus

necessary to keep Russia from over
