Oct. l3-Mony Pitcher.

One of the most picturesque patriotic
characters in American history was Mol
ly Pitcher. who was born in Pennsyl-
vania, October 13. 17H. Her name was
Mary Ludwig to begin with, and the sur
name Pitcher seems to have been given
her in honor of the pitcher with which
she carried water to the thirsty soldiers
on that memorial day at the battle of
Monmouth. However, recent historians
assure us that it was in reality a pail
that she used Mary Ludwig began her
career as a servant in the family of
Gen. William Irvine. in Carlisle. Pa. and
at the age of Is she was married to
barber of the name Of Hays In the Rev
olutionary War he served as gunner
and Molly followed him to the front.
There was nothing at all unusual in this.
for frequently women Of Mollys class
followed their husbands IN order TO pick
UP living doing laundry work for the
officers.
However. at the battle of Monmouth,
y. j., when the Thermometer stood at
81 in the shade, there was more work for
Molly to do in. handing drinks of water
to the soldiers than in attending to the
officers laundry. In the thick of the
battle her husband was shot down at his
gun, and Molly, so the story goes, drop
ped her pitcher or pail, and taking up the
ram began to work away at the cannon.
crying out as she did so that she would
avenge her husbands death. The sight
of Molly working SO bravely fired the SOL
diers to renewed efforts. and so to the
brave woman probably is owing the VIC
tory of Monmouth. The day after the
battle Gen. Greene presented Molly. still
in the powder-stained dress she had
worn on the battlefield. to Gen. Washing
ton. who gave her a sergeant's cornmis-
sion. AS matter of fact, Molly's hus-
band was not badly injured and soon re-
covered. Molly served In the army for
eight years and enjoyed the half-pay of
other officers on her retirement. She
spent the latter part of her life as a cook
and laundress at the Carlisle barracks,
or occasionally tending to children, OF
whom she was always very fond.

He had to be found. A dispatch
from Ashland. KY. says that at Bar
louisville, W. Va, just across the
State line from there. is living F. j.
Updike, a leading merchant. who mod

sweetheart Of Mrs. Norman Gait

Updike claims to have carried her
books to and from school. that he
even toted her lunch basket and that

placed red apples on her desk when
she was not looking.
All this happened when they lived
at Wytheville. Va. The childish ro-

HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline. but do not compel.
Wednesday, October IS, 1918.

Wednesday, October 13, 1918.
Good and evil contend this day.
Early in the morning Neptune and
Mars are mildly adverse. Later. the
Sun and Venus strongly oppose their
benefc power to the evil sway of
Jupiter. Mercury and Uranus.
It is day on which to be conser-
vative in thought and action. While
Venus promises much to lovers and
those who cherish romance, Uranus is
held to bewitch with strange likes tha,
betray faith.
Under this government it is well to
push business ventures and to plan
new enterprises. Those that are limit
I'd to the United States will be most
fortunate.
Those who seek positions should i'm
prove each hour, while this conflgura-
ton prevails. There should be open
ings in foreign ports. especially in is
land cities.
Publicity is not well directed today.
Advertising may be disappointing.
The stars warn editors to be careful
during the next few months as losses
are indicated.
Students in colleges have the happy
augury of success through construc-
tive work of every sort. They who
choose the professions in which chem
istry, electricity and modern methods
of transportation are concerned will
prosper.
Syndicalistic agitation in connection
with the railways again is prognosti-
Gated.
Cruelty to children will arouse pub
lie indignation. Asylums are under a
sinister sway of the stars. National
attention will be directed toward reforms.
Cuba will come to the front in public
notice within the month. An earth
quake or storm will cause serious
losses.
Liverpool is subject to conditions
that indicate increase in imports.
Increase in births and deaths will
mark the winter months
Persons whose birthdate it is should
avoid speculation and conserve their
resources during the coming year.
Children born on this day will be
generous. kindly and magnetic. in all
proba bility. These subjects of Libra
often have unusual musical or literary
talent.

Provence, Okla, May 1O.-The
heavy rain and windstorm which

the nearby cellars. Several report
having fruit trees blown down.
Our school closed Friday, May I,

FOR ACID STOMACHS
USE MAGNESlA

The almost universal use of magne-
sia by physicians and specialists in
the treatment of stomach troubles. is
due to the fact that it stops food fer
mentation and neutralizes the acid
the direct cause of nearly all stomach
troubles OF the many forms of mag
nesia such as oxides, citrates, carbon
ates, sulphates, etc, the most suitable
and efficient, and the one prescribed
by leading specialists is bisurated mag
nesia, a teaspoonful of which in lit
tie warm water Immediately after
eating will instantly neutralize the
acid, stop fermentation. and thus en-
sure painless, normal digestion. Care
should be taken to get bsurated mag
nesia, as its action is infinitely more
effective. II is also, by the way, usual
ly stocked by druggists in convenient
complessed tablet as well as in the
ordinary powder form. Stomach suf-
ferers and dyspeptics who follow this
plan and avoid the use of pepsin, char
coal soda mints, drugs and medicine,
are invariably astonished to find that
the stomach, relieved of the irritating
acid and gas, soon regains its normal
tone, and can do its work alone with
out doubtful aid of artificial digest
ants. Bomar Drug Co., T. N. Coleman,
Rexall, f. j. Ramsey can supply you.

The capital is one of $4,000, and the
loans and discounts foot up to the
gratifying total of SAL ,53223. There
is a surplus fund of $4,000 and the
deposits aggregate the magnificent
sum of $455,o9974. This all brings

four and one-half times as much as

One of the largest cities in this sec
ton of the state, is Fergus Falls, the
county seat of Ottertail County. 1t
is centrally located and is on the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways, about one hundred and
eighty seven miles northwest Of St.
Paul, the Great Northern being the
main line division. Well over eight
thousand people live in Fergus Falls
proper, while the farming trade ter
ritory swells it probably by another
thousand, as it is estimated that about
one thousand or twelve hundred far
mers do practically all of their trad
ing at this point. The Red River here
furnishes one of the finest and most
efficient water powers in the state, and
advantage is taken of this natural
gift of mother Nature, and large
amount of the power is utilized in the
various mills and factories, among
which are -four, woolens, and grist
mills, sash, door and blind, and knit
ting factories. There are four banks
in Fergus Falls, feed mill, three
grain elevators, six hotels, two cream
cries. two colleges, two theaters,
brewery, two planning mills, brick
and tile works, foundry and machine
works, broom and casket factories, a
packing house, wholesale grocery,
fruit houses, three hospitals, sixteen

which, coupled with the natural
energy, enterprise and thrift of its
citizens, has induced its rapid and at
the same time steady growth and its

of the country is thus assured. The
inducements to investing capital are
of the most generous nature and any

will receive warm welcome and
