the annual field trials Of the Grand
Forks Kennel club which will be held
next Tuesday. August %, and judging
from present Indications, the turnout
will be the largest ever held by the
Grand Forks organisation. The derby
stake Is creating the greatest amount
Of interest and the entries already
promised are larger than in any pre-
vious season. Not only will this stake
BE large in the number Of starters,
but /. is also evident that many of
entries are high class puppies.
The all age stake also Is filling sat-
nfactorily and there Will be CANNES
IN this stake that are good enough
for any grade Of competitions. This
will make an interesting stake for the
public to watch. and many local peo-
pie who are not particularly interest
ed in hunting have signified their in
tention of following the running.
Last year about 40 were present and
1t is expected even more will attend

more, Fargo and Hamilton. N. D., and

LIEUT.. WILSON
OPENS A navy.
OFFICE HERE
Brother of H. L. and F. M.
Wilson in Grand Forks
Today.
Pleased with Passage of
Navy Bill-Increase is
Needed.

Lieutenant James D. Wilson Of the
United States Navy. a brother Of H.
L. and F. M. Wilson. formerly resi-
dents Of this city. was in Grand Forks
this morning completing arrange
ments for the opening Of a naval re-
cruiting station in the Federal Build
ing. The local Office, which was
transferred from Virginia, Minn.. to
this city, will be in charge of Chief
Turret Captain c. F. Reiman. who
will be assisted by Chief Water Ten
der P. F. Bonney.
Lieutenant Wilson left on No. 4
this afternoon for Fargo, where he
who is competing in the North Da-
kota Tennis tournament in that city
Lieutenant Wilson is in charge Of
the Minneapolis recruiting district,
which includes offices in that city, st.
Paul. Duluth. Fargo and Grand Forks.
While here this morning. Lieuten-
ant Wilson expressed keen pleasure
over the action of the house in pass
ing the amended navy bill. which pro-
an unusually large increase in the
personnel He was particularly pleas
ed with the passage of the personnel
feature. over which there was consid-
cradle debate in the house.
'The bill, as WHOLE" said Lieuter-
ant Wilson, "is a mighty good one.
The big feature, of course. is the in
crease in the personnel. It means
that the navy department will have to
work to the utmost to provide enough
men to make the increase. We are
after the best men available. The
situation Is not SO critical that the
department is letting down the bars
and recruiting stations still continue
to reject approximately rs per cent
of all applications. simply because
that percentage of the men are unfit
for service. In Minneapolis last week.
we had rs applications and only two
were accepted.
so far as the building feature is
concerned, the four battleships and
four cruisers for 1917 is good thing
We need them. This feature, together
with the personnel feature, will make
largest in the world
Lieutenant Wilson formerly was in
the submarine service of the navy
Up to a few months ago. he was in
command of the first submarine ten
der of the navy, known as "the
mother ship" The tender carries a
complete outfit for summaries, includ-
ing dynamoes for charging storage
batteries. oil and other materials used
and an extensive repair shop.
The trip of the Deutschland
aroused worldwide comment" said
Lieutenant Wilson, but it's feat was
no greater than those performed by
United States submarines. The
American submarines which went to
Honolulu did the same thing. They
were accompanied. Of course, by other
ships. but they did not have to use
them"

CAMPAIGN QUARTER
MOVED TO COLLEGE
WesRey College Completes First Stage
In Campaign for Endowment-
Work to Continue.

The Wesley College Endowment
Campaign headquarters have been
moved from their former location at
the corner of third street and Kittson
avenue, to Corwin hall on the campus
and the work of the securing an ade-
Quate endowment for the institution
will be continued from the new loca-
ton.
The field work Of the campaign has
now almost been completed. Over
100 towns were visited by leaders in
the work and encouragement was
everywhere obtained. The increased
interest that the work has aroused
will be a permanent asset to the col
lege. but it was found necessary to
change the plan Of the canvass for
funds somewhat owing to crop con-
ditions. Officials of the college deem
ed it wise not to tax the good will Of
friends in the face Of uncertain con-
ditions, but to seek out only those
individuals and communities best ia
vored.
AS a result Of this situation the
work will go on more leisurely than
was at first planned. the effort to
bring the campaign to a close in a
concerted state wide effort during
early August having now been aban-
doned in favor Of what appears the
more practicable plan.
