THIS young lady sent | her dainty art lin- ems, crochet pieces and embroidered things to the American.
 that's the reason
 she is smiling. -Heretofore the women of thIs city have been afraid to entrust dainty drawnwork, crochet pieces, dresser scarfs, embroidered centerpleces, cluny faces, Medeira luncheon sets to the Iaundries because most likely they would come home all out of shape, "gIossed" and ironed flat. But now the AMERICAN, by means of a remarkable patented 'drier and finisher, the first per fected one in the world, finishes all this dainty work lovely as new.
 Centerpieces and scarfs- or square-are finished to per feet shape. Embroidered work is finished in RELIEF letter, flower or leaf standing erect.
 Lace curtains are perfectly "done up" without stretching a fraction of an inch-the same size when they come back home as when you took them down.

ALABAMA SCORES
 EIGHTH STRAIGHT VICTORY OF SEASON
Defeats Mississippi A. & M. Five for Second Time. Crimson Presents a
 Strong Line-Up

Tuscaloosa, February 5-(Special) Alabama made it two straight from Mississippi A. and M tonight and in- utive victory of the basketball season. The final score was S2 to 22 in fla vor of the Crimson. Captain Harsh's basketeers presented their strongest lineup of the season in the first pe- riod, while the Mississippians missed the services of Captain Gaddy, who was out of the battle with fever.
 The Mississippians nevertheless fur nished Crimson the strongest opposi- ton encountered this year and during the few minutes fairly outplayed the victories five. Alabama's superior short passwork contributed largely to tonight's victory, no single performer standing out as an individual star.
 The Crimson failed to measure up to the standard of their opponents in sensational shooting, both Barbarin and Rogers bringing the galleries to their feet with long and difficult shots but superior teamwork proved the wis., itors undoing.
 L. S. U. will be the next opponents to face the Crimson, while on Febru- ary g the Birmingham Athletic club five will journey to Tuscaloosa for a bout with the collegian marvels
 The lineup:
 ssissippi-Bigland, center; Bar barin, forward; Rogers, forward; Fill gore, guard; Brandon. guard.
 Alabama-Bowron, Harsh, center Wells forward; Smith, forward i; Dortch, Hagan, guard; Harsh, guard.

Atlanta, February 5.-GSpecial )-The Atlanta Athletic club secured revenge
 here tonight for a two-point defeat at the
 hands of the Birmingham Atr'o-'@ o'ub in Birmingham two weeks ago, by .'eg-
 istering a 39 to 12 victory, locking the championship of the south in a hard
 knot.
 The Birmingham team shot wildly for the baskets. Their forwards were guard ed closely by Weaver and F. Carter, the two Atlanta guards, and during the en- tire game they were able to get but four field goals through the hoop.
 Birminghams pass work was but little inferior to that of the Atlanta team, but when they worked the ball close to the basket the splendid guarding of the To-
 calls, or their inability to register ba zig
 caused the ball to be worked to the other
 end of the court.
 Captain Tommie McGowan led a for
 lorn hope He was all over the floor, playing hard basketball throughout, fight ing. encouraging in the game all the time. But he was too closely watched to score much. He registered one field goal
 and four goals, while Gillian registered the otker six points on field goals.

  provision for saving such life as that of Dr. Stagg, for the care that a tuber- culosis patient needs. If he had re- mained a printer, say, member of one of those labor organizations whose aims, we are told, are entirely "secu- 1a,- ho of the best sanitariums in the country by right of the fact that he was a mem Der of the union and was a sick man. But pr. Stagg was merely a minister of the gospel, too generous to have saved anything, and so, dependent upon individual kindness, who had done so much for others, who had served his church so well.
 Tuberculosis is a curable disease. Yet other ministers of our own church have died of it needlessly, and others still will die unless the church herself makes some provision for their care,-for the very best care that money can buy. Is it not time that some movement were started for prolonging such useful lives, not for their sake. but for the church's sake?
 I think that our friend who has gone away, whose works do follow him, would care very little what words of ours are spoken or written about him. But if he could know, as perhaps he can, that his very death had served to call the attention of Gods people to need of which they had not thought before, which being met would result in the saving of other useful lives, he would not begrudge the weary hours he spent. trying to plan for his loved ones during his invalidism. or studying the economies of burial"

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1916-08-15

Madison, Wis, Aug. 14.-John Deitz,
picturesque battling "outlaw Of Cam
eron DAM" serving a 30-year sen
tence in the Wisconsin penitentiary
for killing Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harp,
will be pardoned soon, if Gov. Philip
needs the appeal Of Deitz' wife and
five children. a ..... .,... ...
Gov. Phillip will act when he re-
ceives a report from a physician who
is examining Deitz who is said to be
seriously ill. w.. .
For six years prior to November,
1910, Deitz successfully resisted a
giant numbering corporation, the
courts, and the entire police arma-
ments of northern Wisconsin.
Deitz sprang into the limelight in
1904 when he became the single-hand-
ed antagonist of a $12,O00,O0O logging
corporation in a fight over use Of
Cameron Dam and certain claims for
services and other matters. He was
a poor homesteader with a large fam
lily.
Fearing the corporation, with great
wealth, would defeat him in the
courts, Deitz depended on the only
weapon at his commando gun 70
protect property he believed belong
ed to him. .,....
He sat tight on his land and prim-
ed his rifle. ... .-.--.

processes he warned them away. 9th

Such strain upon all the re-
sources of it's benevolence no coun-
try ever had suddenly thrust upon 1t.
Holland was already caring for 2Oo,-
900 Belgian refugees. In 4S hours
she was called upon to feed and shell
ter enough more of these to equal
one-fourth of her own population. d.
1t is tremendous strategic game
in which she is being batted about.
From the beginning Of the war Ger.
many wanted Holland for the sake
of the Dutch ports from which to al
tack England; also for the mouths Of
the Rhine, which she has coveted for
many years and always expected tn
get. ,tA;.rf ia. ysas,
On the other hand, Holland. would
be of inestimable value to, the Allies,
because she would afford an open
door through which they could hit
Germany deadly blow in the back.
To keep going in the midst of this
wild clash of opposing forces and Of
all the other troubles is as hard a JOB
as government ever knew.
Germany says, do this or we choke
you by shutting off great part Of
your coal supply. /
England says, do this or we shut
off the rest :..,,.,..It.,.; :..yt;;
To meet the perplexing situation,
the Dutch government has been COM
PEELED to carry to unheardof lengths
the doctrine and practice of govern.
ment ownership. a..,,.,
1t organized the Holland Overseas
Trust, which has taken control of the
entire ocean-born foreign commerce
of the country in about the way the
British government took over the
British railroads. .......:
A few days ago it practically took
over the potato business. All pOta'
toes must be sold in the open market
under government direction. Thirty
per cent of them the government lays
aside for home consumption. OF what
is left Is per cent is allotted to Great
Britain. If the price obtained for
these is less than the open market
price the difference is to 'be made UP
later to the producer.
The rest is sold in the market, all
futures and speculation being knock
ed out by u rule that there must be
actual spot delivery of all sales.
"A clever Canadian has worked out
for the Dutch government similar
scheme for handling other staple food
products. The government is shying
away as long as it can, but there is
no other way to handle the situation.
Also, no other way to meet the in
creasing clamors of the working pop.
ulation, now squeezed hard between
growing prices and stationary wages.
The once popular queen has lost
much of her popularity, partly be
cause of her German husband and
partly for other reasons.
There is rising tide Of resentment
because the government has done
nothing but offer wordy protests
against the torpedoing Of steamers,
It is a stormy season-in neutral
country that had nothing to do with
the war and yet has been sorely hurt
by these two black years Of it.
