GREATEST CHRISTMAS EVER KNOWN
IN WAHPETONS BUSINESS ANNuLS

What might be termed Wahpc-
tons great business mecca. has
just passed by and the business
done by the local merchants have
borne out the above statement
Christmas eve as we were making
our last rounds, we came across
so many tired clerks and business
owners and employers that we
must sa ythat some looked as
they had been dragged through a
wringer.
Stores were turned topsy turvy,
and goods layed strunged all over
the counters and show cases, and
some had fallen on the floors. In
some cases the employers said:
''let them there until morning and
then l will pick them up"
Everywhere we went they all
termed it as the best Christmas
that they ever had and that th&
were all glad that it was all over,
meaning that such heavy strains
had been laid upon them, that they
couldn't stand many such days as
the last week had been.
Store after store sent hurry
up call out after extra clerks and
in the late afternoon the extra
help throughout the town had all
been called to service. Married
men and women who have in the
past been connected with the
business houses were called back
to their old posts and they should
er their new "Guns of War" Just
as they used too and they all soon
got into the firing line without
any preliminary drills or courses
of instructions.
Now, this week, in a great many
places inventories are being TAX

Many people of Wahpeton and

the council withdraw their ,oppo-
sition to the filtration feature. A
referendum election will now he
called to authorize the issue of
$i5O,O00 in bonds and the result
of that election can hardly be in
doubt. Many different persons
worked together to bring about
this happy result, and it is diff
cult to apportion credit correctly.
We owe a debt of gratitude to
President Hill of the Great North
ern who, in response to the re-
quest of Mr.. Newman, president of
the Commercial Club. who, in re-
Spouse, sent Mr.. Koyl here at the
company's expense to help US
solve this question. Chairman
Fligelman and the members of the
citizens committee severally and
collectively, worked hard to bring
this matter TO a satisfactory end

I'VE are especially gratifled by
the fact that we are to have the
new plant equipped with means to
soften the water as we'll as to fill

in excess of the interest and sink
ing fund necessary to carry the
investment. It will be a boon much
appreciated by those who use the
water for washing and cleansing
purposes. and it will make water
fronts, boilers and steam pipes
last longer.
when the new plant is Install
cd we have the assurance of Mr..
Koyl that we will have a water
supply equal to that of any city
in the country, and we will have it
at a moderate cost also. In fact,
the cost is so much less than We

WAHPBTON HAS SOME WATER
SYSTEM ACCORDING TO G. N. EXPERT

That Wahpeton has one of the
best water systems in the world,
no matter how large or how small
and this is from no other author
ity than Mr.. Koyl, an expert sent
to Great Falls, Montana, by Pres
ident Hill of the Great Northern
railroad. to help that city thrash
out its water system troubles,
which like Wahpeton who had
for many years ON its hands. MI.
Koyl' when asked his opinion on
the water works system that
Wahpeton, N. d. had, and wheth-
er it would be advisable to install
. similar system or not, said that
Wahpeton had one of the best
system in the world, and that
Great Falls would make mis-
take if they adopted a similar sys-
tenn.
F. A. .Fligelman, of Great Falls,
Montana. who is brother of May
or Fligelman of this city, visited
at his brothers. home here last
summer, and while here was very
much inferred in our water works,
as in Great Falls the water works
were in bad condition as had been
the case here at home, hereto
fore. He carried back to his home
city the news Of our system and
its workings, and was made chair
man of the Disbursements Com
mittee that was meeting with the
mayor and council of Great Falls,
to solve it's troubles. Mr.. Flige!-
man is known to quite number
of residents in this city. The Great
Falls Tribune commenting edi-
torally on the last meeting of
those concerned had the follow
ing to say:
1.-THE result of the last meeting
between the citizens committee
presided over BY U ,,ffaiirnan Fig
Gilman, the mayor and city coun-
Gil and the Great Northern water
expert. Mr.. koyl, was happy one,
and creditable to all concerned.
The water question in Great Falls
may be considered as settled, and
all sides to the controversy come
off with a degree of credit. Mayor
Fousek and the aldermen who op-
posed the installation of flltra-
ton plant in accordance with the
Phillips report have the satisfac-
tion Of knowing that hte city is 10
bes aved a large sum of money,
and at the same time to get a
more complete plant than the one
contemplated in that report. The
fact that the water is to be made
soft as we'll as clear is a decided
gain for the city and the water
users. The city, is also to save a
large sum as professional fee for
the designing of the plant. That
has always been one of the OBJ
jections urged against the former
plan by the mayor. Under the new
plans with their reduced figures

SENTIMENT DIES IN WAR
No Shelter Under Cover of Charity
or Nurses Garb, Says German.

London, Oct. 29.-The Hamburger
Nachrichten, as quoted by Reuters
Amsterdam correspondent, says in an
article under the heading "CaveH

conspirators proves that German Off
Gals whose duty, the newspaper says,
is to tame and bride Belgium, will
not allow ANY English woman or
subject of any other hostile nation to
take shelter under the cover of char
ity or the costume of a nurse in order
to assist our enemies behind the
back of our warriors.
I'VE have forgotten sentimentality,"
continues the Nachrichten, as the
imperial chancellor said, and regard
ing the forgiving of English malice,
the Kaiser has already spoken.
The newspaper says that Miss Cavell
has become the Jeanne D'Arc of
Brussels and an English national saint.

of the church in her left hand and

FEWFOLKSHAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
WeIl-known local druggist says every
body is using old time recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands of women and men
who value that even color, that beau
tifu1 dark shade of hair, which is so
attractive, use only this old-time re-
cipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
50-cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides. it takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears; but what delights the la
dies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after few applications. it
also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance of album

WHAT WAR MOVES MEAN.
BY j w. Il. MASON.

New York, Oct. 29.-The sudden
cabinet crisis in France may be the
beginning of the end of the war. 1t
is an acknowledgment of Frances dis
satisfaction with the progress of
events and is a final effort to put
things to rights before the end is
reached. If the new ministry can not
bring about radical improvements in
the military and diplomatic situations.
France must then begin to consider
terms of peace.
The immediate cause of the allies
loss of prestige is the defeat of the
allies diplomats in the Balkans. But
deeper than this is the growing de-
spondency of the inability of the army
either to drive the Germans out of
France or to press forward in Alsace
and Lorraine. With the war in so
unsatisfactory a state at home, French
public opinion does not approve of the
dispatch of an eXpeditiOnary force to
the Balkans. The Viviani cabinet has
laid itself open to serious criticism be-
cause of the Balkan situation.
The French people unquestionably
believe Great Britain should take over
the responsibility of checking the Ger
mans in the near east, and there is,
too, an undoubted feeling that M
Viviani has not got as much effective
assistance from the British as he
ought. Criticism of Great Britain has
lately become but thinly yelled, in
France. French statesmen are now
of hesitation and incompetence. The
period of recrimination among mem
bers of any kind of coalition which is
nearly always after a defeat, has not
yet begun openly in Europe; but
France is not concealing her disap-
pointment at the character of the as
sistance she has received from her al
lies. The Viviani ministry, by offer
ing its resignation, has brought
Frances relations with her allies to a
place where there must be plain
speaking France can not afford to
occupy second place in the inter
changes of opinions among members
of the quadruple entente.
The war is entering upon a phase of
dangerous exhaustion for all the bel
Hgerents and the French people must
be in an improved position diplo
matically if they are to obtain the
best results in the peace congress
after the war. By changing her min
istry, France will be in a position to
ask for a new basis of understanding
among the allies. This new basis, in
deed, in its new meaning, must relate
to the kind of peace acceptable to all
the allies
That being so, the Balkan situation
may, in the end, work out faVorably
to France. The German threat against
Egypt and other British eastern pos
sessions makes the British empire for
the first time really dependent upon
the assistance of the allies
France. therefore, can now tax more
convincingly to the British govern
ment than at any other time since the
beginning of the war

 At the present time there is but one thing which can prevent the game going to Phoenix, according to Man ager Langowski, and that is the use of the local baseball park until after the White SoX game It has been suggested that the event could be pulled off at Drew's park but that would be somewhat, uncertain from the fact that Drew's park is for sale and may be sold before the appearance of the Chicago date. In the event that the north park is not sold and the up town park is used for the location of the swimming pool and gymnasium the seasons games with valley teams if such a schedule can be arranged will in all probability be played al Drews.

TEMPE
SPANISH CLASSES GIVE
 PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT
Normal Students Set Aside Friday
 Night for Production in Spanish

A variety of Spanish songs, tableaus and a play compose a program that the students of the Tempe normal Spanish classes will publicly present in the au- ditorium on Friday evening of this week. The offering is something of a novelty, for it has been many years since the local public has been afford ed the opportunity to witness a Spanish production and likewise this will be the first attempt at public work by the Spanish studying folks of the normal.
 The program under arrangement is varied one and will be an apt dem- onstration of about what the students are accomplishing in their every day work in class. Both the elementary and advanced classes will be represented in their respective style of study and in conjunction with this there will be spe- cial Spanish music. Altogether the program for Friday evening should be quite unique entertainment.
 The study of Spanish was added to the curriculum of the normal a number of years ago. Since then the work has grown rapidly and gradually it has been necessary to organize new classes to accommodate the ever increasing mum Der of students desiring to study the Spanish language. Two credits are in this work towards graduatiSH

JACK LONDON FAvORS AUTO.

A story is going the rounds con- corning Jack London. who spent the night at the Mesa hotel last week. showing the celebrated novelist's opin- ion of the automobile being superior to the horse. Sam Hall. a well known Mesa resident walked liesurely up to the hotel to see what was doing. when he entered into conversation with MT
 London. The novelist, with his wife and daughter had come in from Flor ence the evening before and were de- tained while some repairs were being made to his car Mir. Hall remarked on the Casa Grande ruins. appraising the novelist of their location. MT
 London mentioned the condition of the roads, which had hardly become pass able after the recent rains. whereupon MT. Hall remarked that he had plan ned to take a trip to the ruins and that it would be by team. Mr London remarked that he did not believe that the trip could be made by team at that
