PASTOR DEFENDS
LADD and ANDERS
FROM THE PULPIT.
Rev. Peterson, Baptist
Minister, Speaks for Re-
tention of Officials

From the pulpit Of the First Bap-
tfst church, DR.. A. E. Peterson, the
pastor, Sunday morning scored
grafters and corruption and went to
the defense Of DR.. Z. +. Ladd, presi-
dent of the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college. The pastor spoke on
the subject of Faithful Servants and
Grating Husbandmen.
Rev Mr.. Peterson referred to the
recent ousting of John II. Worst from
the presidency of the North Dakota
Agricultural college, and declared
that the removal of DR.. Ladd was
started because he has incurred the
everlasting enmity Of every grating
crossed through these years of eff
cient and faithful service.
I'VE have had an exhibition of
some such an attempt in our state
only recently, said the pastor, The
good people of North Dakota have
been grateful that such a man as
DR.. f. F. Ladd was at the head of
the enforcement Of food regulations.
Our food laws are a credit to the
state, but their enforcement has
been a source of dismay TO not a
few who would put something across
If they could. Ladd's elevation to
the presidency Of the college was
regarded as a reward Of merit well
deserved, and few people would
charge him with less efficiency there
than in the management of his Of
flee in the pure food department.
The pastor also went to the de-
Tense of City Engineer Frank l..
Anders for the fight the pastor said
he has made against contractors
who have made attempts to substi-
tute something just as good on

Dickinson, n. D., July 9.-Dickin-
son had strenuous day on Sunday,
when the city had the honor of
forming a machine gun company
for the second regiment of North
Dakota. .
Three Bismarck officers were on
the field, and within "a hours suf-
ficient number had signed for the
formation.
Local men had paved the way for
the enlistments, and as soon as Lit.
Col. Tharalson, Captain Stickley and
Adjutant Nuemier were here, the
company was assured.
About so men have already en-
rolled, and within the next day or so
the full number of 70 will have been
secured.
Dickinson rejoices in the loyalty
of a full company of the National
guards and now this second enlist
ment for the gun company gives it
a unique place in the field.
The Bismarck officers, accompanied
by Ernest r. Orchard, went on to
Beach from here seeking the organ

POISON SHUT OUT
.Ae2Ais ~ -
SCORE Is TO 0

The Roman and Poison ball teams
met on the Roman grounds last Sun
day for the first time this season
and in few short words the story
can be told-a shutout. Poison was
handicapped by the absence of three
of their players which accounts par
TALLY for their showing. However,
they were helpless against the bat
terry of the Roman team, the pitching
of Archie Mcdonald holding them
down to nothing Not Poison man
reached third base.
When the two teams meet again
Poison will undoubtedly be reinforced
and prepared to play faster game.
Roman has a strong team this year
and in the games played so far this
season they have defeated all corners.
A return game with Poison is being
arranged and when they meet again
it will be a game worth seeing. The
date will be announced later.

to see the price of wheat sustained,
although not to the point of being

and in this connection we publish .
telegram sent by Stanley Scarce OF
Roman to Senator Henry l.. Myers
at Washington, which goes far in
expressing the sentiment concerning
the bill in this locality:
Roman, Mont, July II, 1917.
Hon. II. l.. Myers,
Washington, ID. c.
Sentiment here strongly opposed
to proposed discriminatory food price
regulation. Corn and cotton states
seem to be favored. Montana and
northwest who rely on wheat must
bear the brunt. Don't see how this
can be justified. Crops here dam

will need high prices to meet pro-
