Want New Park.

A movement is on foot among the
residents Of west Q street in the vi
cinity of Thirty-ninth avenue to peti-
ton the city commissioners to install
park in the district. A petition was
circulated couple of weeks ago. For
many years people living in that part
Of the city, one of the most beautiful
in the South Side, have been working
for a park.
Many improvements have already
been made since annexation. These
include the installation of new sewer
system along Thirty-sixth street, the
building of treeless park, with .
children's playground attached, st
Thirty-sixth and P street, and consid-
cradle grading. But the district still
lacks a suitable park with shady trees.
Residents have found an ideal place
in what was formerly the property
adjoining Duffys park. Large trees
are frequent. The property directly
borders the street car line a. Thirty

MET IN BRECKENRIDGE

Ihe three state drainage com
mittee with representation from
sisseton and White Rock i'm South
Dakota, Wheaton and Brecken-
lidge i'm Minnesota and Paramount
and Wahpeton iS North Dakota
met in Breckenridge a few days
ago to discuss the flood stage con
ditions arising on the borders q:
these three states, caused by dit
ches within the State of Minneota
for drainage purposes and con-
Mected with the Bois de Sioux riv-
er. These drain bitches carry
such an amount of water that it
is impossible for the BOis de Sioux
to carry off the surplus Sater as
fast as received, with the result
that alone in this county over i2,-
900 acres Of land has been flood
ed and the crops destroyed. Legis-
1ation by the three states and fed
eral legislation were the topics fol
discussion and the gathering OF
important data for the bills to be
introduced in the various state
and federal law making bodies
was also up before this meeting.

A SPLENDID PROPOSITION
For the Citizens Who Have Not
Signed Petition to Do Some
Thing for tho Boys

A committee of three, consist
ing of Messrs. w. E. Purcell, C. E.
Lounsbury and C. j. kachelhoff-
er started the ball a rolling for
Company l when they took a petit
tion among the citizens for Il
monthly goodwill Offering for the
boys of Company l. The citizens
responded nobly and this fund
will be used as Captain Thomson
sees fit in providing extra delica-
cies for the table, or small arti-
cles of equipment.
At the present time $50 q
month has been raised for the
boys. If you havel't signed the
petition, and want to show your
loyalty to the home boys you can
do so. The money will be kept on
deposit at the Peoples National
Bank.
A number of the young men Of
the city gave a big dance at the
Armory Friday evening, the pro-
ceeds of which amounting 10
$4,000 will go into this fund. 1t
was a very hot night, and the
boys are to be congratulated on
their success. The music was fur-
nished at a reduced rate, in view
of the purpose of the dance, and
the committee kept the expenses
down as low as possible.
A citizen committee consisting
of Messrs. Robt. L. Barber, w. A.
Farnsworth and F. B. Schnellet
will have the management of the
Armory building during the alb
sence of Captain Thomson and

SCREENINGS HAVE FOOD VALUE

The per cent screenings IN
North Dakota wheat for the years
1907 to 1914 was nearly 4 per
cent, according to Bulletin III by
Professor T.. r. Ladd. If the
1915 wheat crop contained this
average per cent of screenings,
it would amount to i7l,338 tons
of the equivalent of 5 i-2 million
bushels of wheat. The avcrag"
of the analysis of these screen
ings showed them to be rich in
food value. There is good deal
of variation in the composition OF
screenings depending on the
kinds of seeds that they contain.
Sheep are very fond of SCREEN
ings and they are the only live
stock that it is safe to feed the
screenings to without grinding.

The heavy storms in the past

the Red River and its auxiliary
rivers, the Ottcrtail and Bois de

flood the lowlands all along the
three rivers.
Many fields of grain were de-
stroyed andpasturcs and hay land

and horses are unable to walk in
them.
Island Park is coveerd by wat

Hot suns prevail when it is not
raining and many farmers are
worry that should their grain pull
through the heavy rains, tho hot
sun will cause their crops to be
;calded.

I0NGMAN EMPLOYS
LAWYER TO RESIST
RELEASE BY BOARD

Not only has Officer William Long
man, of the night police force, refused
to act upon the request of the police
board that he turn in his resignation
but he also intends putting up a fight
to prevent being ousted from the de-
partment.
Longman has employed an attorney
to represent him when his case is Civ,
en- a hearing by the police board at its
next regular meeting, the first Friday
evening in July.
In the meantime the police board
has suspended Longman without pay
pending a decision at the next board
meeting as to whether he will be dis
charged or retained on the force.
The most serious charge which has
been preferred against Longman is his
arrest for driving his automobile
without license, which constitutes a
violation of the state law.
II do not regard Longman a salts
factory officer said Chief Goodwin
today. His services have not been
up TO standard for some time. On his
beat in the east end he has frequently
spent too much time every evening
loafing in a garage. He h been negli-
gent in making his reports and he
caused trouble at the time Officer
Fee was appointed a traffic officer
Longman wanted that appointment
and when Fee was selected he ap.
pealed my action to the police board
