WAlERfOuN1AIN DEVICE

Mayville, N. d., March 1O.-J. NJ
1ngberg ofsthis city, is the inventor OF
mechanism to release water from a
drinking fountain, by means of pat
ented parafin paper tube.
The invention, which was patented
in 1914, promises to he success and
already there has been demand for
it. 1t may be attached to any kind
of fountain now in use.
The parafin paper tubes will be kept
in dustless, sanitary receptacle and
released simply by means OF push
button. The tubes are used but once
and no person handles The tt@bes ex.
cept the user. The tubes will not be
exposed to the atmosphere, dust, flies
or any possible coltagion. The cost
of the tubes is negligible as compared
to the service rendered and probably
less than the usual waste OF water.
Immediately the slight pressure neces'
sary is removed from the tube the wat
er ceases to foW.

WILSON GROWS
IN POPULARITY
Attendance at McCabe Methodist
Church Becomes Larger With
Each Succeeding Night.

Te attendance at the McCabe Me-
mortal Methodist church is increasing
every night and is now assuming the
appearance of a Sunday evening aud
ience in size, but more thoughtful and
less fashionable.
The text used last night by Rev.
Guy Wilson was taken from the first
and third chapters of John and the
third verse of each chapter. The SER
mon was closely connected and logi-
cal all the way through. 1t was ar
ranged and classified as skillfully as
a lecturer would present his work AL
so, the picture set out was so clear
that anyone with any Giscernment at
all could clearly see just what was
claimed and the lesson was apparent
to the least observing. The preacher
said that in the first chapter we saw
Jonah fleeing from God, and in the
third obedient to; God. !r- e
6 a. TYPICAL Man.
It was claimed that Jonah was a
type of man. That he was like all
men that attempted to flee whe:, call
ed to duty. 'That the text proved that
Jonah was an honest man with men
but dishonest with his God. But Jo-
nah met with that which meets every
man that is running away from res
possibility. That not far down the
road God meets him with the collec-
ton. plate and demands payment Of
dues. rr ..
A Religious Tramp.
1T is often that men become reli-
gious tramps because they refuse to
do the work assigned them and go
from place to place, religiously, and in
fleeing from sacred things land in a
revival and while the religious tramp
is the hardest one to deal with he Is
sure sooner or later to 60 to sleep or
to wake with religious zeal that was
irresistible.
An omnipresent God.
"But Jonah found, as many others
do, that God is everywhere and his
prayer was to the God of the land and
of the sea. Er.
Notwithstanding when Jonah was
ready to return to his God and do the
work assigned him the way was OPEN
ed and God enabled him to get back
in His grace and hold revival ser
vice that converted city. Again a
type Of man."

STAR CAPTAIN AND CENTER
OF THE BISMARCK HIGH
SCHOOL BASKET BALL
TEAM DECLARED 1NELIG-
IBLE,
AWAIT TIE FINAL DECISION
Team Leaves for Grand Forks
Today for Tournament to De-
eide State Title.

Notice Of protest aiming at the eligi-
bilty of Captain Houser, star center
of the Bismarck high school represen-
tative, basketball team, district cham
pions and favorites for the state
title which will eb contested at
Grand Forks in the tournament open.
ing Friday night, was received by the
local management like a bolt from a
clear sky at the eleventh hour yester-
day. Late last night it was reported
that individuals had taken it upon
themselves to finance Housers trip to
Grand Forks despite the protest, al
though it is understood the manage
ment will abide fully by the decision
OF the eligibility board, Unexpectedly
called upon to determine the status Of
the player The Bismarck players
leave for Grand Forks this morning
and despite the uncertainty of Hous-
er's presence in the lineup are conf
dent that they will return with the
coveted honors in their possession
a A Personal Protest. .. o..
AS far as could be learned, the objec-
ton to Houser's participation in the
state tournament is traced to per-
sonal complaint by Center Tracey of
the Valley City high school team, Wh3
it is understood, is nursing a crouch
because of the protest raised against
his eligibility by both the Bismarck
and Mandan teams at the time the Val
ley City quintette appeared in these
cities. 1t will be remembered that the
games in which Valley City figured
here and at Mandap this season were
played under protHa; hecanse Of Ira
cey's presence in the lineup. Now
the Valley City player launches forth
with claims that while at Valley City,
Houser participated in two games OF
football sufficient to shorten the life
of his high school athletic career and
as result this year of basketball in
his case could not be accepted as ELI
gible.
Bismarck Favorite. ',
While the high school management
will abide by the ruling of eligibility
board and will set Houser aside or
play him as the board decides the
sentiment about basketball headquar-
ters last night was that the protest at
this time was "dog-in-the-manger
act. If Houser is really ineligible, the
players participation in the league
and district championship games
which made Bismarck's entry in the
state tournament possible, would also
call for serious reflection, for Houser,
if at all ineligible at this writing
would be no more so now than at any
other time this season.
Bismarck will enter the tournament
at Grand Forks determined to win the
state title with or without Houser.
While the team is naturally consider
ed better chance with the star cen'
ter and captain in the lineup, there
are any number of lovers Of the
sport here who believe the strength
of the aggregation is such that they
will defeat all other three contestants
even with substitute in the lineup.

Effect Has Been Good.
In my opinion the effect of the Am.
erican note to Carranza and Obregon
has been extremely good 1t is, how
ever, absolutely necessary that immed.
late steps be taken for sending food

The United States already has made
representations on keeping railway
communication open from Mexico City
to Vera Cruz.
Believe Situation Improved.
In a general way the officials believe
the situation is improved. There is in.
creasing confidence that Carranza will
give the required assurance of protec-
tion to foreigners and that the United
States will not be compelled to take
any further steps. No more warships
