DeNoOn's Back From Eastern Trip.


Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. DeNoon have
returned from an enjoyable visit in
the east. They were entertaine! at
Washington, D. c., by the secretary
to Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, who is a
Drother-in-law of the DeNoons. Wash
irgton is all in a hubbubb and all in
teIest is centered in the war. Every
where foreign soldiers can be seen,
members of various war commissions
sent to this country to confer with
Americans concerning the war. The
population Of Washington has in
creased by 100000 during the past
four months and hotels are filled to
overlooking. New hotels are being
built. The DEMONS saw President
Wilson and his wife at theatre one
evening. They went thru the Capitol
building but no one can get near the
White House, which is closely guard
ed. They visited the Congressional IL
brary, one of the worlds finest build
ings, which cost six and one-haf mil
lion dollars. There are two and one
half million books and the shelves
which they occupy would reach 140
miles if placed end to end. They Wis
tied Gettysburg and made trip thru
the Blue Ridge mountains by auto.
They visited Washington's old home

WALTER CHAMPLIN NOW
WITH u. S. ARMY
Minot Young Man is in Training in
France-Has Spent Six Months in
Canton Service.

The following interesting letter was
received by o. M. Champlin from his
son, Walter, who is in training in
France with the U. S. army:
Dear Folks:
Since my last letter a great many
things have happened. First of all, we
have been taken over by the U. S.
Army. The men in the American
Field Service, who were physically fit
and willing to serve, were enlisted in
the Army as privates in the Quarter
masters Corps and although agree
ing to serve anywhere will no doubt
be kept in the Motor Transport Divis-
ion of the Expeditionary Forces on ac-
count of our previous experience. We
are now in the regular army-not con-
scripts or National Guards Reg
ulars. Sounds queer, doesn't it. We
have been told that practically all the
officers of the Transport Service will
be chosen from the men who are here
now, which means that the old Field
Service men will probably be given an
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-11-08

At present am at a non commissioned
officers school training for work with
the U. S. armies. There are about 40
men here now. Some of these men
will go directly to commissioned Of
ficers training camp and others will
go into working sections as first ser
geants, to be later sent to the final
school if they prove worthy.
Our schedule here is stiff one to
say the least and one that makes us
feel ready to turn into bed with that
tired feeling that brings sleep before
you know it. We rise at $50, have
breakfast at 700, roll call at 500, fol-
lowed by an hour of gymnastics and
cross country hiking. Then we have
drill for an hour, lecture on army
etiquette, then reading or some kin
dred subject for an hour, lunch at
11:15. At 1:15 the afternoon schedule
begins. About hours drill with
rifles and another lecture, this one on
the technical parts of the work, trucks,
etc. Dinner at 5:15 and taps at 900.
You certainly have my envy at be-
ing able to enjoy the pleasure of hav-
ing well heated house, hot water and
home cooked food At present 20 of
us are living in room which forms
part Of an old stable. In the morn
ing about 800 we can hear the old
man who takes care Of the oxen get
ting his teams ready for the pillow and
through the day, although the beasts
are absent, the malodorous fumes that
come from their quarters proclaim the
fact that they'll be back again this
evening. But worst of all, however,
are the two goats which play around
the stable yard. They eat everything
that's free and give off the most OBJ
noxious smells I've ever experienced.
No more mutton for me

France and showers come up without

BERTHOLD FARMERS
DIGGING POTATOES

Berthold, N D., Nov. 6. Especially
Berthold potato growers started dig
ging their potatoes again this week,
after delay of nearly a month
Many of the tubers on the high ground
were frozen, but nearly all of those
in the low spots which were covered
with snow, are in good condition, tho
hard to get, mixed as they are with
the mud. Still the farmers are plod-
ding away making good wages, for
potatoes are worth $3.50 bushel at
present. One farmer has sixty acres
of potatoes yet to dig and the aggre-
gate acreage will reach a thousand or
more acres, it is estimated.

caught unprepared. Our feet are wet
continuously in spite Of the oil we
use on our shoes, but our morning run

that we do not feel the cold for the

troubles are now all smoothed over and
NO look forward TO a most prosperous
season"
An officer of the Oratorio Society
took exception TO Mr.. KoeMmenleh's
statement that he had been ousted by
the board of directors without any
appeal 10 the chorus. The engagement
of a conductor, this officer pointed out
has always been the province Of the
directors. This body is financially re-
sponsible for the organization, ana ITS
reason for not rejecting Mr. hoem-
menich was the fact that the Oratorio
Society's deficit during the last season
amounted 10 $1,000 The way, this
official pointed out, for the chorus mem
bers to show that they disappro,ed OF
the action of the directors vas by
electing a new board al the annual
meeting and not by calling d meeting
of objection before that time.
