The children will be put into school

take a notion to go to the Pacific
coast for a few weeks. They plan
on returning home the first of March.
Henry Schneider, a resident Of the
Plum creek district for about 10
years, recently found a gopher niber-
mating in a hay stack at hia place.
The little animal is rolled up just
like a ball and was found in the bot
tom Of a hay stack with a large
quantity of grain stored above his
winter quarters. Mr.. Schneider
wonders if the gopher will urroll in
the spring and become active again.
There is some difference of opinion
as to the amount of grain that will
be marketed here this season. Last
year the total for Gladstone was
about 100000 bushels of grain. All
agree that there will be a handsome
increase this year, a majority SEEM
ing to think that the four elevators
will get about 100000 bushels. About
so per cent of the 1915 crop has been
marketed up to this time.
The past week Bayer & Lob Co.
have been remodeling their office, en-
larging 'the same by finishing off q
private office and throwing more
space into the main office room. The
firm has kept a crew of men, in
charge of Matt Baumgartncr, at
work on buildings the past summer
and fall. Ten contracts were handled
by the firm the past season. AS it
looks now, the men will be kept busy
all winter.
Rufus B. Lee and M. C. Brown are
attending to the buying at the Lee
elevator. This, together with their
lumber yard, keeps them pretty busy
at times. However, Mrs. Brown as
sists with the books. Mr.. Lee and
Grover Jopp are partners in the
garage and have been doing a good
business since they opened the place.
Mrs. George Lee is feeling consider
ably better since she returned from
her trip down east.
The village of Gladstone, eleven
miles east of Dickinson, has made
quite a substantial growth the past
year, about fifteen new houses having
been erected. Bayer & Lob Co. built
their large lumber warehouse early
in the spring and the Lee-Jopp gar
age was completed in the early sum-
mer. There have also been repairs
made on many of the buildings of the
place. 1t is claimed by those who
ought to know that the building in
1916 will be fully as great as during
the year now drawing to a close.
Jacob Rothschiller, one of the
German Alliance district presidents,
expects to go out organizing lodges
after the first of the year. North
Dakota has 10000 members and will
increase the number a great deal the
coming year. The German Alliance
is national wide, having organiza-
tons in every state, and will prob
ably quot out a national ticket in
1916. President Rothschiller attended
an important meeting at Bismarck
last week and he states that a big
meeting will be held in Dickinson next
June. The organization was started
in 1908. ~

DO YOU FEEL A WHOLESOME JOY IN JUST BEING ALIVE?
Perfect Health gives just that feeling. You wake up in the morn
ing full of energy and eager to be cup and doing" There is 2
spring in your step and a force and vigor in every movement.
That is the normal condition of the human body. 1t is the con-
dition YOUR body should be in and well be if you give it ad-
justnents. -
All so-called disease has a mechanical cause. Something is out
of alignment and the result is a shutting off Of the vital energy
which maintains and controls every organ, tissue and cell in the
wonderful mechanism of our body.
This energy concentrates in the brain and is carried by the spinal
cord and nerves to every finger and every toe and to each hidden
vital organ. # &. H5
It is where these nerves leave the spinal column, or backbone,
that the trouble starts; for when the vertebrate, or bones that make
up the backbone, get out Of proper alignment, ill health results IN
the organ or part to which those nerves go. a
Ghiropracdc is the Science and art Of properly adjusting the bones
with the hands, SO that pressure on the nerves is relieved. a

DUTCH STEAMER SUNK.
KATWYK TORPEDOED WHILE AT
ANCHOR IN NORTH SEA.
Sinking Of Vessel Consigned to Dutch
Government Had no Connection
with German English Marine War
fare-Dutch Demand Explanation.

London, April 15.-The Netherlands
steamer Katwyk, Baltimore for Rot
terdam, was torpedoed last night
while anchored seven miles west of
the Hinder lightship in the North
sea.
The crew Of 20 was saved and taken
to Flushing, according to a Reuters
dispatch. The dispatch quoted the
men as saying as they rowed away
they saw the periscope of a submarine
which quickly disappeared.
The Katwyk sank 10 minutes az
ter the explosion.
Reuters Amsterdam correspondent
says the Katwyk had been lying ct
anchor for Is minutes when torpe
doed. The correspondents message
from the Hook of Holland declares
that all the ships lights were burning
at the time of the attack. After the
torpedo struck the Katwyk caught
fire and only the ships papers could
be saved. &
The Amsterdam TELEGRAPH, com.
menting on the occurrence, says:
I'VE must expect that the German
government will, without loss Of time,
be made responsible for this severe
violation Of the rights Of neutral
powers. The talk Of there being nj
trates among cargo of grain or that
the ship was about to be chartered by
the British government can not now
be discussed. The plain fact Is that
a Dutch ship. chartered by the Dutch
government, has been %torpedoed off
the Dutch coast by a state pretending
to maintain friendly relations With the
Netherlands. How many similar
proofs Of friendship must we receive
before we declare we prefer open
.enmity?"
The Rotterdam Massbod says: ?
1T is quite impossible to esta blish
a connection between the sinking of
katwyk and the commercial war be-
tween England and Germany, even
In its bitterest form. While the ac-
or German submarines former
~ were regarded as a regretable con-
sequence Of the general rules by bel
ligerents a similar Interpretation no
onger is possible. if the facts Thus
Tar available are true as to the sink

most a month in which to prepare
for the next appearance in court,
counsel for the government in the in
junction proceedings against treasury
