Huge Sum Expended.

Mr. Hoover in his speech said that the
total expenditure for relief in Belgium
and northern France to date was s13s,-
100000. Of this s15.00O.00O had been
provided by charity and by service rem
dered by the United States. and an
equal amount by the British empire.
About 100000 came from charity
from other parts of the world The
balance was provided by economic
measures of the commission, the sale
of food and by subsidies from the al
lied governments.

Mr. Hoover and his colleagues sent
food daily to feed nine millions of peo-

States and Spanish governments we
were happily able to arrange that not

the Germans. Up to the present time

packing plant proposition did a SEN
sible thing in deciding to establish
several small packing plants in the
state instead of one large one. There
are many good cities in the state
where packing plant would be &C
cessible and of benefit to all the in
habitants of the commonwealth.
There's Dickinson in the slope coun-
try; there's Minot in the northwestern
part of the state; there's Devils Lake
in the northern; there's Grand Forks
in the northeastern; there's Fargo in
the eastern; there's Wahpeton to han
die the southeastern section; there's
Valley City and jamestown in the
south central part, nine $4,000 plants
at an expenditure of only $225,0oo,
where the first plan was to put up one
in the state at an expenditure OF
$5OO,OOO. The nine, each handling
the products Of their own particular
locality, would certainly be better than
one handling the products of the en-

u. C. r." THE MAN OF
MYSTERY IS AGAIN BACK
IN DICKINSON.

81. C. r." the man of mystery, is
back in Dickinson again, after an
absence of four months, most of which
time he spent at Hunters Hot Springs,
Montana. The history of this mans
case reads like an Arabian Knights
story. His memory is blank and he
has lost all power of speech. He was
first located in his present condition
somewhere in Minnesota. At that
time the only Identification marks
were the letters 81. C. R." stamped on
the mans underwear. His case was
brought to the attention of the most
skilled surgeons in the East, but with

MORALITY LECTURER
GETS EIGHTEEN YEARS.

Dickinson, N. D., March 6.-Andrew
J. Good, the self appointed morality
man and lecturer on social purity, was
sentenced to eighteen years in the
state pen by Judge w. c. Crawford,
Saturday. 10
Good has travelled up and down the
states of North Dakota and Montana,
lecturing on white slavery and kindred
subjects for over three years. He
came to North Dakota bearing the
recommendations of high officials in
the Methodist churches of Minnesota,
posing as a reformer.
During all these years Of exploita-
ton Of purity messages, he has been a
brute in human form, first by known
acts in different parts Of Minnesota
and Montana, and the climax came
when the juvenile officer Of Dickinson
learned of the inhmuman acts with his
own 13-year-old daughter.

out avail. He would escape from one
institution and later turn up in diff
ferent place altogether.
Finally the Chicago authorities got
wind that a man answering the de-
scription of the man of mystery, had
disappeared from the Dickinson vicin-
ity several years before, and cores
pondence ensued. The result was that
81. C. R." was brought back to Dick
inson, where he was positively identi-
fed by Mrs. James Moran, as her
brother, Jay Allen Caldwell. The
father, who is wealthy ranch owner
southeast of Dickinson, denied that the
man was his son-and there the mat
ter stands. 81. G. R. is still the man
of mystery.
He will stay at the home of his sis

fortunately came into touch with a
larger one, however, and the boys
jumped onto this and were able to
reach shore, just in the nick of time,
before the block they were on dashed
over the dam to fragments in the
whirlpool below. The water was unus-
ually high on Monday and it would
have meant sure death if the boys had
been carried over the dam.
J. r. Clark, brother Of one of the
boys, was drowned in the Heart river
only few years ago, while in bathing.

TWO DICKINSON BOYS MAR
ROWLY ESCAPE DROWNING

Floyd Smout and Joe Clark, two
Dickinson boys, came near riding to
their death Monday on cake Of ice
on the Heart river above the Dickinson
dam. They got on floating cake near
the ice warehouse Of the Dickinson Ice
& Transfer Co., expecting to take a
short ride along the shore. The block
Of ice they were riding on was whirled
out into the current, however, and
rapidly approached the dam. People
from the shore noted the perilous pre-
dicament Of the boys and notified
Chief Of Police Corbett, and he, to-
gether with other men, carrying ropes,
hurried to the scene. The ice cake

ter here for few weeks at time,
then suddenly disappear. He seems
to retain several mental faculties,
however, and seems to readily recog-
nize landmarks near his alleged home.
He also recognizes people whom he
has met. '@
The unfortunate man undoubtedly
lost his memory as the result Of a
blow upon the head, as there is quite
a depression visible on one portion Of
the skull. He is entirely harmless,
and seems to have the canny faculty
of getting about the country at will
and seemingly without any visible
means.
If he is the true Jay Allen Caldwell
he is the possessor of considerable
estate, as the wealth Of the Caldwell
family is by no means a small one.

ALFALFA INCREASES

At the North Dakota Experiment
Station where manure and alfalfa sod
preceded corn the yield was 1919 BUSH

THREE WORDS. D..
There are three words, the sweetest

In all of human speech
More sweet than are all songs of birds
Or pages poets preach.

Three words, and trouble disappears
And birds begin to sing.

The sun begins to shine. '#.

And water turn to wine.
Three words will cheer the saddest

John A. PGttem,
Of Chattanooga,
Dead IN Chicago

CHICAGO, April 26.-John A. Patten.
president of the Chattanooga Medicine
company, died at local hospital early
today after a short illness.
The cause of death was poisoning due
to the rupture of an ulcer in the intes-
tines. He was taken i'll Tuesday and
was hurried to a hospital where 1t was
found that an ulcer had formed and that
an operation offered the only hope or
saving his life. The operation was per-
formed early this morning and death oc-
CURED shortly afterward.
MIR. Patten was here for the trial of
libel suits which he and q. G. Patten,
Jr, owners of the medicine company, had
brought against the American Medical
association for alleged libel in connec-
tion with articles published in the as
sociations journal.
Mr. Patten was prominently asso-
ciated with the Methodist church and
had held many offices in the church and
its subsidiaries. The publication Of
the articles in the medical journal
caused wide comment and he resigned
his official connection in the church
bodies. The articles in question as
serted that the medicine company was
manufacturing and selling a nostrum
containing a large percentage of alcohol
and that they were falsely claiming
curative power for the medicine which
it did not possess.

German warships and the running fight
with the British light cruiser squadron
and destroyers.
All the British ships have returned
safely, two of the light cruisers bear
ing signs that they had been hit. A
few sailors were slightly wounded.
A British destroyer which played a
part in a previous battle in the North
sea was again in the thick of the fight.
A shot penetrated her engine room and
four of her crew were scaldsd.
After firing into Lowestoft for twenty
minutes the Germans retreated. The
casualties aboard the British ships oc-
CURED in the running fight 1t is gen.
orally believed that the British gunners
hit the German warships.
The Times naval expert, in discuss
ing the engagement, says:
THE raid was not undertaken with
wanton risk. but with a definite pur-
pose Possibly IL was reprisal for

and disposition of the British squadrons.
More likely it was a part of a larger.
formidable undertaking designed to
cover operations of a filibustering char
acter connected with the trouble in Ire
