Forestry Team Defeats MOhall.

At Woodman Hall Tuesday eve
ming, the School Of Forestry basket
ball team of Bottineau defeated Mo-
hall High School boys by score of
81 to II. A large number of spec
tators witnessed the game, which was
contest from start to finish. Super
ior team work Of the visitors won the
game for them. Considering the fact
that the Forestry boys have played to-
gether three seasons and the Mohall
team has had only this years prac-
tice, the showing they made against
their opponents is very creditable.
The event proved a very friendly con-
test and the boys from the School of
Forestry showed themselves gentle
men, and most courteous. While most
of the spectators would liked to have
seen Mohall win the game, all feel
that honors went to a worthy foe.
This is the second game the Forestry
boys have taken from the Mohall team
but nevertheless there is still hope

Evangelistic Meetings at Omemee.
Rev. J. Lloyd Hunter has just closed
four weeks series of revival meet
ings at Omemee and as a result that
town has probably experienced it's
greatest religious awakening since
it was started. Last Monday eve
ming A persons united with the Pres
byterian church as a result Of Mr..
Hunters work and 9 with the Metho-
dist. Several more are expected to
join later on.
At previous meeting working
basis for the future of the two church
es was agreed on, on the part of the
members of each. This agreement
looks to merging the work of both in
the Presbyterian church, the men,
bers of the sister body turning their
letter into the other. Mr.. Hunters
work was especially effective among
the children and young people and
his efforts in conserving and provid-
ing for the future of those who were
converted. Three more elders were
elected to the session and new
board of trustees as we'll; young
peoples Society formed and the Sun
day School strengthened and officer
ed. Mr.. Hunter endeared himself to
everybody by his zeal, earnestness and
engaging manners, as well as by his
skillful handling of situation which
had some elements Of disquiet.

located in one of the present favored
spots or not, square deal on freight
rates. A week ago, as the bill was
about to come up in the senate there
was considerable lobbying against it.
The day before it came up, however,
the lobby melted away, and the SEN
ators but one voted for it and the re-
port gained circulation that the rail-
roads wanted it. All this was intend
ed, however, to mislead the house in
to the belief that the measure was
railroad bill or that it contained a
joker, in the hopes that the house
would kill it. It was on Tuesday that
the bill passed the senate. On Sat-
urday morning it had not yet been
read the first time in the house -evi-
IDENTIFY through oversight due to the
congestion of bills. In the meantime
two things had happened. One was
that the senate had got wind that the
house was going to pass the bill. The
other was that the railroad lobby had
returned from St. Paul and its pri-
vate car stood on the side-track and
several well -groomed gentlemen could
be seen nervously pacing the Railways
of the capitol building and holding
hurried consultations with certain
members of the assembly. On Fri
day night little bird had chirped the
information that the senate was 60
ing to recall the bill, ostensibly to
amend it but in fact to kill it. It was
on the strength of this bird-chirp that
the big ''tank" was cleared for ac-
tion.
Sure enough, before the opening of
the session, typewriter notes were
passed around among some of the SEN
ators containing the proposed amend
ment and the machinery was oiled up
for its recall from the house. In the
meantime the house had convened at
one o'clock in recessed session. The
senate did not convene until two
o'clock. In the house Representative
C. F. Dupuis. chairman Of the rail-
road committee. moved that the house
return to the introduction of new bills.
This having been done he asked for
the first reading of senate bill II.
This was done and the bill referred
to the committee on railroads. The
committee at once retired to the cloak

FOOD SAVING DRIVE ON
Campaign Started To Mobilize
Kitchens of America.
Half Million Volunteers To Visit
.Country's 22,ooO, 900 Households
Next Few Days.

Washington, Oct. 31.-There Is on
throughout the nation a big drive to
mobilize Americas kitchens for the
duration of the war. It is under the
direction of the Food Administrator,
Half a million volunteers have be-
gun invading the country's %, 900, 900
households and personally inviting
each housewife to sign the food pledge
to conserve wheat, meat. fat and sug-
ar. Aiding is an army of $4,000 four
minute men scattered to the country's
movie" houses and street n to
catch the housewife while she's shop
ping, and tell her why the success of
food pledge week Is important to the
winning Of the war.
Big Issue At Stake.
Upon the success or failure of Am
erica's households to join this food
conservation movement" said Food
Administrator Hoover, will largely
stake the issue Of this war;" .
Lord Northcliffe of the British gov
eminent and Baron de Cartier, CON-
missioner from Belgium, have added
their voices to Hoover's in an appeal
to the housewives Of the country.
America" said Baron de Cartier,
"has kept Belgium from starvation.
Those in Europe who are extending
every effort to crush Prussian auto
cracy forever need food. America
must supply far the greater proportion
OF this. It is a grand conception wor-
thy the ideals and traditions of the
greatest republic, that this food shall
be supplied by the voluntary effort of
the individual citizens. Thus they will
assure victory in the war"
"The boys" said Northcliffe, who
are enduring the hell Of the trenches,
cannot hold out if ill-fed. The situa-
ton we have to face in food pledge
week is obvious. Either the stay-at-
homes must ave so the soldiers may
get their vital needs, or the soldiers
must go short so the stay-at-homes
may fatten. You must take your
choice"

A TWICE-TOLD TALE
One of Interest to Our Readers

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long laps
of time, even if we hesitated to be-
lieve it at first hearing, we feel Sc
cure in accepting it's truth now. The
following experience of a Dickinson
woman is confirmed after two years.
Mrs. F. M. Dubois, 3O2 Fifth Ave-,
E., Dickinson, says: "A few years
ago, while living in London, England,
l used several boxes of Doan's Kid
ney Pills and was cured of a dull
pain in my back and frequent head
aches, dizzy spells, a languid feeling
and other distressing symptoms OF
kidney complaint"
OVER TWO YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Dubois said: ~ have had no need
of a kidney remedy since Doan's Kid
ney Pills cured me some time ago."

The American infantry stand their

their regular turns at patrols into the
bleak, deadly waste that is No Mans

"The French officers told us it was
impossible to procure horses to haul

said if we wanted to drag it up-by
manpower-we might beat the others
and thus have the opportunity Of fir

Job, but they were anxious to shoot
that first shell. So they worked
through all that night in the rain and
