The association is offering every in
ducement possible to enlist the Eco
operation of everyone interestedS in
poultry, and judging from the interest
already manifested there will BIZ a
grand display of poultry on. eXhibi-
tion at Dickinson next month.
Too much can not be said in. favor
of the show room as means Of i'm
proving a flock of chickens, bothsfor
utility and fancy purposes. This is
particularly, true where the Sore
card system of judging is used aand
the association urges every one who

There are many people in and
around Dickinson who have pure-bred
chickens that did not exhibit at the
first show. This was due in part to

to call for and return the birds. ( 1t
is hoped that Dickinson will respond
literally this year. "

BACHELORS ENTERTAIN

The Bachelor Club proved them
selves royal hosts at their beautiful
home on First Avenue West Thursday
evening when they entertained be-
sides Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Richter,
who acted as chaperons to the party,
seventeen Of their lady friends at a
5 o'clock dinner.
Special light effects in various COL
ors were arranged for the occasion,
giving the spacious hall a soft and
beautiful illumination. The dining
room and parlors were festooned in
green and white, the club colors, and
numerous penants decorated the walls.
Large vases filled with an abundance
of roses and carnations were set here
and there and decorated the tables.
The place cards were very novel,
each bearing a verse fitting the per-
son at that place. Special music was
furnished by Mrs. Christine Messer-
smith and Miss Florence Davis, on
violin and piano respectively, through
out the six course dinner, which was
certainly a fine one and for which
great credit is due the housekeeper,
Mrs. Putnam, and her assistant, Mrs
Tillie Eberts.
The evening was spent at cards and
various games. There were also sew
eral fine musical selections rendered.
The guests were very high in their
praise Of this affair, which was the
most elaborate ever given by the club.
Through the kindness of Thomas
Menke and A. P. Ellian the members
and guests were brought to the club
house in Mr.. Ellian's cars.
The committee on arrangements
and the subcommittee under Geo.
E. Ryder, president of the club, de-
serve high compliments for the clever
way in which everything was carried
out.

ATTY, A. KELLEY
KILLS HIMSELF

Grasping "a 32-calibre revolver in
both hands and placing the muzzle
against his right temple, F. A. Kelley
of Killdeer shot and instantly killed
himself shortly before six o'clock the
evening of November 18 in the Grand
Pacific at Bismarck. Medical aid
was summoned at once but before
physicians could reach the side of
the man, death had come. No reason
for the act has been disclosed. He
was known, however, to be despond-
ent over business affairs. The body
was sent to Lakota for burial.
When aid reached the room immedi-
ately after the shot was fired, the
body was found lying upon the bed
and the smoking revolver grasped
tightly in his hands. The butt of the
gun was firmly locked in the right
hand and the barrel was held in his
left which was discolored by smoke,

THE $90,0OO,OO
FOR P, 0. BID.
CONGRESS APPROPRIATED THIS
MONEY FOR FEDERAL
BUILDING AT DICKINSON
AND NOW COMES
CONTRADICTION.
The Congressional Record Plainly
Says That the Appropriation Has
Been Made and Gov. Hanna
Also Says So.

The following letter from Gov. l..
B. Hanna to Mayor White states pos
itively that Dickinson has an appro-
priation of 100000 for federal build
ing:
Executive Office, Bismarck, N. D.
November %, 1916.
Hon. Alfred White,
Dickinson, N. D.
Dear Mr.. White:
l have noticed more or less COM
ment in your local papers out there
as to whether Dickinson really had an
appropriation of $9O,OOO.OO for their
postoffice building or not. You know
l have always told you they did have
and that the law was passed and
would stand there on the statutes of
the United States until the building
was erected, but l thought perhaps it
might be we'll to verify this, so that
those who doubt would forever hold
their peace. Under separate cover l
send you a copy Of the Statutes of
the United States for the Third Ses-
sion Of the 62nd Congress. That was
the last session l was member of
the United States Congress. Turn to
page $40 and Section 3. Follow this
section down to page S72 and you
will find place have marked
where Dickinson, Valley City and
jamestown each get an appropriation
for their new postoffice buildings,
Dickinson getting $9O,OOOOO and
jamestown and Valley City each
$75,OO0.00. Dickinson gets the ad-
ditional amount because they have a
Land Office which must be provided
with rooms in addition to the post
office.
With all good wishes, I am
Sincerely,
L. b. HANNA.
Following is an exact reproduction
of the section referred to:
Sec. 3-That the Secretary OF the
Treasury be, and he is hereby author
lied and directed to contract for the
erection and completion of suitable
building, including frcproof vaults,
heating and ventilating apparatus,
and approaches, complete, for the use
and accommodation of the United
States postoffice and other govern
mental offices upon ground now

Here is paragraph from pro-
posal sheet from the supervising
architects office in the treasury de-
partment, forwarded to Postmaster
Frank Lish, in connection with the
soil investigation recently made on
the postotfice site in this city which
leads people to wonder if a mistake
has not been made somewhere:
1t is understood (due to the fact
that Congress has authorized the
construction Of the building, although
no appropriation has yet been made
therefore), that payment for this
work will be made as soon as Con-
gress shall have made the necessary
appropriation.
