M. Klein, F. C. Wick, H. L. Bar

Many matters Of Importance were
gone over, the question Of route and
financing being uppermost. It is pro-
posed, to put forth a vigorous cam
paign FOR the sale of stock within a
few weeks. General plans have been
prepared which will make the fnanc-
ing comparatively easy, and with the
routing fairly well established there
is little question but that before next
winter the whole proposition will be
sufficiently far advanced to justify the
grading contract being let for 1918.

WAR HORSES DEMAND
AT DICKINSON SALE

The big horse sale which took place
in Dickinson Tuesday and Wednes-
day attracted great many buyers
from various sections of this and ad-
joining states, but the popular de-
mand seemed to be for war stock.
About $50 animals were disposed Of
for war purposes, the price averaging
around $120 a head, the sale amount
ing to around $4,000.
There is no market at the present
time, at least through this section Of
the country, for any other than war
horses and a great many animals
were put up and nothing but small
bids received. There were more than
500 head on hand at the sale but ow-
ing to crop conditions and the prob
able scarcity of feed buyers were Of
fering but very low prices. No bids
of any consequence were received on
fine work mares and geldings, of
which there were many sent in for
the sale. ....-
Owing to conditions the Percheron
and Belgians from the Indian Springs
ranch were not offered at this time,
but the managers of the sale expect
to conduct another big sale some time
this fall. s

Interesting Lecture in Armory
Wednesday Night.

Dickinson is making prompt and
liberal response to the appeal so elo,,
uuently made by Rabbi Emanuel
.Sternheim,' of Sioux City, Ia, in be-
half of the suffering Jews in the
European war zone. Pledges of more
than S1lOO have been secured, most
of which has been raised among
the Jewish people of Dickinson eand
neighboring towns. A few of the
business men of the city have oeen
solicited and the committee reports
that all have responded very lberally.
It is anticipated that Dlcklnson's $
$500 proportion of the $4,000 fund
which has been allotted to North Da-
.kota will be raised without difficulty.
The meeting at the armory on
Tuesday evening was fairly well at
tended, considering the extreme heat
of the day and evening. Hon. H. A:
Mackoff Of Belfeld was chairman OF
the meeting and introduced local
speakers. Attorney Thos. H. Pugh
spoke in behalf of the city of Dickin-
son and heartily commended the
work, He was followed by Rev. J. u.
Duling, Attorney L. A. Simpson, Rev.
R. H. Craig and Attorney T. D. Casey,
all of whom endorsed the movement
and talked along patriotic lines gen
orally.
The principal speaker of the even,
ing was Rabbi Sternheim, who proved
himself an eloquent and appealing
speaker. He told Of the great Euro
pean struggle where the jewish
people have suffered greatly, .especl,,
ally in Holland, Russia, Austria and
portions of the Holy Land, which have
not been spared in the havoc Of wal
and desolation. Thousands are made
homeless and the suffering is great
especially among orphaned children
Wealthy Jews in the United States
have responded generously to the cal
% for aid to this oppressed people.
@. Rabbi Sternheim was rendered q

CALL MADE
TO ORGANIZE
HOME GUARD
COMMERCIAL CLUB AND CITI-
ZENS PLAN TO PERFECT
ORGANIZATION.
Company Will Drill and Be Able to
Respond to Call for General
Community Duty.

At the regular meeting of the Com
mercial Club Wednesday evening the
proposition to organize a home guard
company was brought up and given
considerable attention. The matter
has been talked over by Dickinson
business men and citizens for the past
several weeks but no definite action
was taken until the invitation was
given to all patriotic citizens to meet
with the Commercial Club and con-
slider plans for the organization OF
such a company. Out Of the number
present at the meeting several dis
cussed the matter at length and laid
particular stress upon the need OF a
home guard association of some kind.
A committee consisting of Roy
Baird, H. C. Berry and James Soules
was appointed to work on the PROPOSE
tion and to consider plans Of other
home guard companies in the state.
This committee will no doubt gather
all the information possible on the
subject and call a special meeting OF
those interested to perfect the organl-
zation in the very near future.
1t is proposed that such a company
elect officers who have had military
training, hold regular meetings and
drills, and be ready for any emer-
gency that might arise in the vicinity
and to be prepared and ready when
called upon by officials of the city or
county. The company would be armed
and vested with authority to do reg
ular police duty, if necessary, and to
act in the capacity Of similar organi-
cations throughout the state. With
Company K now in the federal service
with more than a full company, and
the machine gun company expecting
to be mustered into federal service
the first of the coming month, the city
and county is left without officially
armed representatives a.of the state;
Permission will have lt0.abe secured
from the proper officials for armlng
such an organization.
A large number of citizens of Dick
inson have signifed their willingness
to serve in the company and as soon
as plans are worked out there will DC
plenty Of volunteers.
| Among other matters taken up by
the Commercial Club was the appoint.
ment of committee, composed Of
John Orchard, w. A. Blume and J. V
Jessen, to cooperate with the Patrl'
otic Society for the purpose Of fur.
nishing some sort of entertainment
! for the members Of Dickinson's ma
chine gun company, which will bt
called into federal service soon. There
still remains about $25 in the Loyalt!
Day fund which will be turned over tx
the committee on entertainment.
John Orchard and Thos. Pugh, rep
resenting the Commercial Club an<
the board of education, were request
ed to meet with the teachers and stu
dents of the summer school and ex
press appreciation of their work ant
request support for the school mex
year.

FIRST STACKER
CAUGHT IN DUNN

Dunn county has it's first Stacker
case, young man named John Dorth,
who has been working on the John
Mackey farm north of Werner, hav-
ing been picked up by Sheriff John
Bang Thursday. He was taken to
Manning and lodged in the county
Jail and Sheriff Bang wired the federal
authorities.
Dorth is % years of age, born in
America Of German parentage. He
was in Rochester, Mimi, on registra-
tion day. The only excuse he would
give for failing to perform his patri-
otic duty was that the men with
whom he was associated at the time,
presumably I. w. WIS, advised him
not to register. -.
Dorth will probably get about one
year in which to think it over.
