A Popular
Investment

A man came into our bank just the
other day and purchased ten thou
sand dollars worth of our THRIFT
CERTIFICATES. He considered
them splendid investment, perfectly
secure and amply protected by our
large capital, practical surplus and
conservative management. Another
bought block of nine thousand dol
lars worth, and many a modest de-
positor owns them in denominations
of fifty dollars each. In times like
these it pays to lay by, not perhaps
that hard times lie out ahead or that
financial breakers are unduly apt to
flow in against you; but if you own
cashable securities like these it will
be a mighty comfortable feeling
you'll carry about with you, won't it ?

Wonderful Working Steel Hands.

London Tid-Bi Sir Henry Nor
man, M. p, after paying a visit re-
Gently to Prof. Jules Amar, the emin-
ent French surgeon, who is repair
ing" thousands of broken soldiers,
stated that there were three one
armed men in the doctors labora-
tory working as filters.
One of them, in his spare moments,
amused himself by turning on a
as we'll as any turner could have
done.
Professor Amar offered a cigaret
to one man whose arm had been
amputated just below the shoulder!
Sir Henry Norman was about to take
cigaret from his own case in order
to hand it to the man, who, say
ing, Pardon me, l can help myself"
proceeded to take one with his steel
hand.
Placing the cigaret in his mouth,
he selected a match from a box,
struck 1t on the box in his sound
hand, and lighted the cigaret, hold
ing the lighted match in his steel
hand.
A second man, using his artificial
hand, grasped the hand Of Sir Henry
Norman and shook 1t warmly. The
third, whose arm was amputated
above the elbow, picked up a needle
from the table with a, small pair Of
dissecting forceps. Afterwards the
man gave an exhibition of turning
and filing metal and wood-drilling
with a sensitive bit.
The motions of those wonderful
artificial limbs are controlled,
through straps and cords, by move
ments of the muscles Of the chest
and back

90 PER CENT
CLAIM EXCUSE
District Board Finds Many
Farmers Would Avoid
Military Service

Duluth. Mimi, Sept. About SO
per cent OF the farmers who came
under the draft law are claiming
exemption under the agricultural
clause, according to DR.. J. ]. Eklund,
chairman OF the Fourth district
exemption board including Clay
county, which is now considering
their claims.
The board considered thirty-one
claims Of farmers at Thursday morn

was granted, six cases were laid
aside for further consideration and
twentyfour claims were denied.
1t is probable that the board will
Five per cent Of the quota must be
ready for entrainment for Des
Moines by Sept. 8. The board is now
working to get this per cent clear

Wednesday the board passed on
139 cases. OF these forty-six were
denied exemption and six were al
lowed discharges. An extension OF
time was given to thirty-two to sub

fifty-five were temporarily laid aside.
Divides Industrial Class.
The board is also dividing the,
1iAAh4 tut EAEElpIiOIlB the
industrial clause into three divisions,
mining, railroading and steel max
ing, and grouping the men from the
respective classifications together.
I'VE must get all the men in each
corporation together before we can
pass on their claims," said DIR. Elk
lund. "One corporation here, which
has seventy-three men in the draft,
has claimed exemption for thirty-one
of them. OF course, we can't grant
all the claims that are submitted, but
we must use judgment in selecting
the men who are to go and those who
will be given more time. For in
stance, If 1t takes three years to train
a man to hold certain position 1t
would not be fair to draft him and
leave another man on a job that
could be learned in few weeks. The
railroads, shops and mining COM
panies are claiming exemption for
their men, but are combining their
claims to those who cannot be easily
replaced.
I'VE are having some trouble with
farmers who are claiming exemption.

1t is up to Willard. Jess hasn't

decision until this bout is pulled off.

ST. FRISCO HANGS UP
TWO WORLDS RECORDS
Trots Two Heats In 2:04 Ia and
2:01 "a at Pouahkeepsis Meet,
Beating Mabel Trask Friday.
fBy Associated Press

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Sept. 1.-Two
new worlds race records for a trot-
ting stallion were established here
Friday by st. Frisco, driven by z. f.
Geers, when he trotted two heats in
1904 IA and 2:01 "a, defeating
Mabel Trask in a special trotting
event for $1,000 purse. His time in
the second heat broke the former
stallion trotting race record OF 2:02,
held jointly by the Harvester and
Peter Volo. The two heats were the
fastest ever trotted by a stallion in
race. He went the fastest mile and
the fastest two heats trotted this
season. The time Of the second heat
by quarters was: 81 1-2, 1:01 "a,
1882; 2:01 "a.
St. Frisco's former record was
2:03. IA.
In the first heat Mabel Trask was
beaten only head in a driving fin-
ish and she lost the second heat by q
scant half length.
The 2:17 trot, unfinished from
Thursday was won by North Spuc
In straight heats. Little Frank ID.
was the winner of the "Directum II

Duluth News Tribune: After this
war there will be vast numbers of
people in America, as in Europe. to
whom Made in Germany" will be as
thing accused. Before the war
this label was a guaranty of excel
lence that made higher price seem

German frightfulness Is the sole
cause Of the change. Her list Of
crimes, Of terrorism and brutal ruth
lessness has turned the mind Of the
world against her in horror and de-
testation. 1t will be useless to try
to sell anything German in the
homes that mourn because OF Ger

It win be equally useless to at
tempt to reclothe Made in Ger
many" with popular favor with mill
lions whose hearts have rebelled
against a people who have sanction ;
ed, not merely excused, such abuses
and such a government.
This is the price Germany win nav
after the war for sinking passenger
ships and hospital ships, for Zeppelin
raids, numbering women, children
and the wounded, for the enslave-
ment OF Belgians, French and Ser
bians, for poisoning wells, for the use

total disregard OF ali laws Of

Shdgged Bearded Peasants Flock To
MoscOw To Hold National Service
For The Salvation Of Holy Russia
(By Associated Press.)


Moscow, Aug. 3O.-All last night
there streamed into the city from
neighboring villages shagged beard
ed peasants, in many cases accom-
panied by their wives, bearing hem
pen packs on their backs and carry
ing rude images in their hands.
These figures, mixing with the city
population, moved in dense masses
towards the historic red square I'M
der the Kremlin's walls where the
ceremonial order provided that the
vast procession of the cross should
take place and the "all national SER
vice for the salvation Of holy Russia"
should be held.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, in
the Cathedral Of the Assumption in
Kremlin, in which still stand the
eagled thrones on which for hun
dreds of years the emperors receiv-
ed the crown was held the dedica-
tory service. At this, in cloth of gold
vestments and with mitres cleaning
with precious stones, there OBLIGATED
the leaders Of the church.
The body of the cathedral was
thronged with mitred bishops carry
ing slaves and gemmed croziers, arch
priests III Tic pun PIC DClCtISAa COdISC-
ly gowned monks, and mingled with
them, laymen Of note, the most
prominent of the last being Premier
Kerensky, who remained but few
moments, and former Premier Lvoff.
Before the end Of the service there
began to arrive at the Kremlin en-
closure and in the square outside,
professions Of the cross from thirty
cathedral and monastery churches,
the participants in which carried
more than a thousand brazen ban
ners painted with effigies of the
saints. Between these professions
tramped groups of laymen, some
bearing historic ikons and some
holding up rude homemade images,
in the hope that these by touch
with, or proximity to, the famous
ikons would gain something of the
OCCASIONS sacred spirit.
Religious Spirit Deep.
The correspondent witnessed many
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-09-01


striking evidences that the religious
spirit was still strong and deep.
Beside every ikon of note there
.trudged aged working women who
begged and fought to be allowed to
share in carrying the heavy, iron
bound frames.
At the head Of the procession of
the cross came the church's most
famous reformer, Andrew, Bishop Of
Ufa, whose life story, begun when he
was leading a worldly existence as
a prince and an officer, reads like
a romance OF spiritual regeneration
by Tolstoi. Interposed were choirmen
in brocaded robes, acolytes carrying
episcopal slaves and hooded with
good clothes, and Missionaries and
mystics from the northern forests
clad in rags and shod in birchbark,
who as they reached the historic spot
bowed and kissed the stones.
After the services in the cathedral
the three metropolitans and the sixty
bishops proceeded to the monastery
where are deposited the relics of
Alexis, one of the most reverend
saints of the orthodox and ceremon-
iously kissed their sacred objects. In
the meantime the mass of the clergy
and laymen marched through the
Kremlin grounds and on through the
gates of the SAVIOR into the red
square.
The concourse in the square was
so vast that many climbed to van
tage points on the Kremlin's walls,
while others perched under the
twisted cupolas of the church of
Basil, the Blessed! Later the metro
politans and the bishops made for
the "headman's place." the scene of
the sanguinary executions under
Ivan, the Terrible, and held a solemn
service there. Many OF the lay wit
nesses Of the community began to
pray aloud, and the more deeply
moved shed tears and threw them
selves upon the ground.
The 500 members of the congress
held their discussions in the Temple
of the Savior, built to commemorate
the war of liberation against Ma
poleon.
