BANQUET. WAS
Hello YESTERDAY

The Mems banquet at Guild hall last
evening proved success from every
standpoint. It was nearly seven
o'clock before all arrived and they
proceeded to the banquet hall Of the
church where an elegant supper was
served by the ladies of the Guild.
There were nearly one hundred seated
at this banquet, and the same was
thoroughly enjoyed. When the meal

a couple of fine selections after which
there were short talks Prof. Nelson
Swain acted as POSTMASTER and af-
ter stating the object of the gather
ing, he introduced Rev. R. Blackford,

nice talk of about fifteen minutes
duration. Next came Rev. F. H.
Oehler of the Episcopal church Of this
city, who told of the great laymen's
meeting recently held at Fargo, and
in his usual happy, yet forceful man.
ner he drove home some important
facts relative to the churches of this
country and what they were doing
for the community and the country
at large as well as spreading the
Christian religion in foreign coun-
tries. The next on the program was
Rev. G. E. Stinson of the Methodist
church of this city and in a fifteen
minute talk he told of what was 60
ing on relative to foreign missions
and the giving for church and mission
work. His talk was very impress
sive one and was heartily received by
those present. The last speaker or
the program was Rev. Quigley, Super.
intendent of the Methodist church o1
this district. Rev. Quigley is {
pleasing and able talker and ability
to hold the close attention of his lis
teners is one of the pleasing parts o:
his address. He gave a splendid tall
after which he favored the audienc'
. with solc... This. closed the meeting
and Rev. A. c. Barron Of this cit!
pronounced the benediction.
The speakers had attended the lay

ing at Fargo. It was a very pleasan
occasion and was heartily enjoyed b,

TURNER'S STORE
HAS A FIRE

AS Harry Maher was passing along
Kelly Ave-, early Monday morning he
discovered fire in the Turner confec-
tionery store and Immediately gave
the alarm. The fire department hur-
ried to the scene, broke open the front
door, and soon had the flames under
control, but not until they had eaten
their way entirely thru the south wall.
The blaze started right back of the
stove and near the wall, but as there
was no fire in the stove it is thought
to have caught by a match or cigar
stub having been dropped onto a mop,
which was standing behind the stove
and the fire smouldered practically all
night before it got good start. The
building is a small frame structure,
and had the fire department not acted
promptly it might have been fine
blaze. Considerable damage was done
both to building and stock.

SAEf BLOWERS
LACKED NERVE
ILLINOIS OFFICER FORCES SAFE
BREAKER TO YIELD BOTTLE
OF NITROGLYCERIN.

Danville, ILL.,, Beb. 14.-When po-
licemen Kelly and Moore surprised two
men in the act of blowing a safe in
the office of a coal company tonight
the man seized by Kelly raised bot
tie of nitroglycerin aloft and threat
ened to dash it to the ground and
blow them both up unless released.
"Let her go; We'll both go together,
replied Kelly as he pressed his re-
volver against the burglars breast.
The crooks nerve failed him and he
carefully delivered the explosive to
} the officer.
The other burglar pressed a revolver
at Officer Moor's body, but it was
brushed aside by that officer, and he
was also subdued. The burglars gave
their names as George Mcdonald and
Harry O'Brien. Their arrest will, il
is believed, clear up several safe.

MUNICH WANTS
BUTTERMAKER

The stockholders of the Munich Co.
operative Creamery have held their
regular annual meeting, and it was
we'll attended. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
Aug. Korb, Pres; Ludwig Hoffman,
Vice Pres; Jos. Goeser, Treas; P. J.
Antony, Sec.; W. ]. Gilchrist, direct
or. The above five comprise the
board of directors.
It was decided at this meeting to
lease the creamery to some reliable
butter maker for term of two years
without charge. With the under
standing that such party will operate
the creamery, keep the creamery in
sured, pay taxes and keep the proper
ty up in reasonable condition. The
secretary was instructed to advertise
for such man, and if no one can be
found it more than probable that the
stockholders will operate the cream
cry themselves.
It was also decided to make can
vas of the country and ascertain as to
the number of cows that would pat
ronize the creamery. In this move
every stockholder agreed to do their
share.
The secretary is already in touch
with several first class butter makers,
and it is reasonable to believe that a
deal will be made with someone, as
this looks like q good proposition.
The nearest creamery in operation is
across country in Cando, 30 miles and
Langdon % miles, but whether Lang
don creamery operated last summer
we do not know. Some farmers in
Egeland shipped their cream by train
to the Cando CT eamery last summer
Arrangements, 70 doubt, can be made
with the towns .a the line, Clyde, Cal
4 vim and Sarles y ship their cream t,
this creamery, also the towns dow
the line. Weaver, Hampden, Derrick
Edmore, Lawton, Brocket and possibl,
Lakota. Also the 500 east and wes
could ship their cream to the 500 spu
and could be hauled from there to tn
creamery here.
1t is a reasonable certainty that tn
creamery will run this season. This i
good move, and should be booste
along by both business men and far
mers. 1t is a good move for tn
country as whole, and no doubt, ca
be made a success by everybody put
ting their shoulders to the wheel an
, pushing.

/ house with ice, more than he needs fo

GALE THEATRE
CLOSES DOORS

The Gale theater which was opened
lp in the Glerum block some time ago,
seems to be a thing of the past. This
playhouse has had very unsuccessful
career since it started and has chang
ed hands couple of times. The last
one to run it was A. H. Yoemans, and
he was unable to make both ends meet
and when the time for closing came
his father stepped in and took the out
fit ON a mortgage which he held
against it. This caused some commo-
tion by Glerum, who owns the build
ing, and the result was Yoemans
lodged a complaint against the Gler-
ums for assault and battery, and in
the meantime Yoemans has been
spending a few days in the hospital.
What the final outcome is remains to
be seen. ~

FINE BUILDING
TO Be BUILT
BAIRD. LET CON-
TRACT TO FOsBURG FOR NEW
MODERN BLOCK.

Probably the finest building to be
erected in this city during 1916, will
be the modern three story building,
which is to be erected in connection
with the present Wineman block at
the corner Of Fourth st. and Kelly
Avenue.
This block is owned by Messrs
Baird and Bice and Miss N. J. Haley
of the First National Bank. The
new building will be 140 so, three
stories with full basement and an
other story will be added to the pres.
ent Wineman block. The first foo1
will be occupied by stores, the second
floor will be offices and the third
floor will consist of modern flats. This
will be one of the most modern build
ings in the city, and nothing in the
way of conveniences will be spared.

EDN0RE TO
HAVE NEW
LUMBER YARD

It is reported that Edmore will have
a new lumber yard in the near future.
At present they have only one yard,
owned by one of the line companies,
and many farmers in that section Of
the county feel that they are called
upon to pay exhorbitant prices for
their lumber, and that very little ac-
commodation is shown here. At one
time Edmore had three lumber yards
and they were all doing a good busi-
ness, but in order to head off compe-
tition one line company has secured
control of the lumber business at that
village. If there is any thing that
Edmore needs it is another lumber
yard.

THREATENS TO
SMANTLEPLANT

President Grace ofthe Bethlehem
Steel Company, told the Senate Navel
Affairs Committee few deys ago that
if the Tillman Government Armor
Plate bill was passed by Congress ne
would recommend to the stockholders
of his company the dismantling Of
their arrnor plate plant.
II am positive for our own company,
if we are to be continually confronted
with the character Of legislation, that
we had better direct our energies in
making investments in more substan-
tial lines where we would have the
whole world for customer instead OF
depending upon one no-policy custom
er," said President Grace.

The Ten-Cent Loaf.

The Standardization of the ten-cent
loaf of bread was recommended by
the Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Association of Master Bakers,
which has just closed an interesting
session in Chicago. News dispatches
say that the master bakers were
agreed that standard ten-cent loaf
of bread is the solution of the problem
which has been raised through the
advance in the price of flour, lard,
sugar, milk, salt and wrapping paper.
A suggestion to lower the quality of
bread, be it said to the credit of the
bakers, was Kissed down.
1t may be necessary to materially
advance the price of bread, but we do
not believe that a flat 100 per cent.
raise is equitable or justified by con-
ditions. From time immemorial"
as the saying goes, loaf of bread
has sold for five cents. This price
was as staple as the price of a glass of
beer. That flour has advanced sharp
ly is a well-known fact, but there have
been advances in the past which
reached nearly the same altitude. Yet
there was no talk of a ten-cent loaf of
bread. The bakers didn't 90 into
bankruptcy. The poor man didn't
find it necessary to pay two nickels
for a loaf of bread the style of which
he had purchased all his life for one
nickel.
II a change is imperative, why not
reduce the size of the five-cent loaf to
proportions commensurate with the
cost of production. The ten-cent loaf
is an anomaly. II is un-American
and unconscionable. Times.
