A Pleasant Surprise.

The home of John Backlin in McCrea
was the scene Of a pleasant social ga
thering last Saturday evening, when
about forty neighbors and friends sur
prised their daughter Ruby, who has
been an invalid since she was three
years old. She is now thirteen years.
Her body racked by disease, this young
girl is unable to move about and go to
school as other children can do. Yet
she has learned to read and to write
with her left hand, the only hand she
is now able to use at all. In spite of
her suffering she takes an active inter-
lest in everything that happens. The
friends who came to gladden. her heart
on this occasion presented her with an
arm chair in which to pass her days
more comfortably. Ruby appreciates
the gift very much and the donors have
the satisfaction which comes from
doing kind deed. An enjoyable even
ing was spent at the Backlin home.

COAL IS SCARCE.

As winter approaches, the scarcity of
coal is becoming nore and more APP
parent. In order to apportion the coal
that is shipped into the county to the
best advantage and supply as far as
possible every householder, committee
on coal has been appointed for Mar
shall county. This committee consists
of II. L. Wood, chairman, of Warren;
G. e. Foster, Of Argyle; and c. R.
Gillespie, of Stephen. Those needing
coal should make their wants known to
this committee. Two carloads of hard
coal we're received at Warren this week.
and the black diamonds doled out in
ton or half ton lots to those in need of
fuel. The committee will do all in it's
power to secure shipments of coal and
apportion same SO that each family will
get just share. The committee has
ordered car shipped to Newfolden,
which village has thus far been unable
to get any coal shipped in.
Not only is there shortage of coal,
but also of cars in which to transport
same, as the government has the first
call for cars for military purposes

CITY SECURES new
WATER SUPPLY
WOODROW WILSON

The city has been fortunate III Sc
curing an additional water supply.
] During the past week Mr.. Ihle, an ex-
pert well driller from Thief River
Falls, has been at work trying to Sc
cure. water in well which had been
drilled number of years. ago and
which had not given sufficient water
to be Of any value. After several days
dril lli.sgs and pumping Mr.. Ihla came to
the conclusion that the well had been
drilled too deep and pulled up about
thirty feet sof casing. There now
appears to be plenty Of water in the
well, as a large pump has been operated
continuously both day and night, since
last Friday afternoon, and the supply
shows no indication Of giving out. The
ylinelersfor the pump in the well used
at present has almost given out and it
will, be replaced by new one next
Sunday. The electric light plant will
be shut down and the water will be
turned off for the day while the change
is being made.

day evening. DR.. Wattam, president

posed to raise $1,000 in the county for

new FIRE ENGINE
PURCHASED BYCITY
Warren Will Now Get Ample Fire. Pro
lection. Council is to be Commend
ed for Saftey Measures Taken.

At meeting of the city council held
Monday evening negotiations were
completed for the purchase of new
fire engine from the Waterous Engine
Works, of Minneapolis, at price Of
$3.50. Members of the Warren Fire
Department were present at the meet
ing and recommended the move. The
purchase of this equipment will meet
with the approval of all property own
ers of the city as more ample fire pro-
lection has been needed here for a
number of years. Several times in the
past the Argyle Fire Department has
been called upon for assistance owing
to the lack of an adequate fire engine
here. The old steam engine, which has
been out of commission for many years,
has seen its best days and will now be
sent to the junk pile, by the Waterous
Engine Works, who took the machine
in as part of the considerati ton for the
new fire fighting apparatus
The new fire engine is to be delivered
to the fire department here in about
thirty days. An expert will be sent up
TO demonstrate the fire fighting
capacity of the new machine and also
instruct members of the local fire de-
partment in it's care and operation.
The fire engine is four cylinder, 80
horse power gasoline engine, with
rotary pump capable of throwing
horizontal stream of water for dis
tance of 130 feet through 1000 feet of
hose, with one inch nozzle.
This modern machine together with
the present equipment, will give War
ren very up-to-date and efficient fire
protection.
The council also ordered the installa-
t1on Of street light in Lundgren's
addition, petltloned for by Carl Allen
and others.
At meeting of the electric light and
water commission held Tuesday even
ing, the petition for a water main ex-
tension on Nelson avenue was granted.

retary. After this business was trans
acted an adjournment was taken until
30 o'clock in the afternoon, when j.
+. T. OConnor, prominent attorney
of Grand Forks, was scheduled to
deliver a patriotic address,
Reassembling at / 80 p. m. the large
high school auditorium was filled with
people. The banks, stores and other
places of business were closed for two
hours in the afternoon in order to en-
able the employees to attend the meet
ing. Music was furnished by the city
band led by Emil Dahlof and patriotic
songs were sung by the audience under
the direction Of Miss Cummings, music
teacher at the high school,
OCOnnOr is Eloquent.
Mr.. O'Connor, though young man,
is silver tongued orator, and his fame
as speaker has spread all over the
saorthwest. He is a product of Grand
Forks county and hence familiar with
the needs, thoughts and aspirations Of
the people of the Red River Valley. In
a pleasing voice and in words of burn
ing eloquence he presented the issues
now before the American people He
cited original documents to show that
America was justified in entering the
war and that we now are fighting the
battles Of democracy and freedom of all
people of the earth against autocracy
and military power. Among the
witticisms he gave atterance to was
this: ilsOn sent a note to Bill, hut
nov hesshds draft and he avefred
the draft will be paid. For fully two
hours Mr.. O'Connor held the close at
tention Of the large audience, which
was stirred to a high pitch of patriotic
fervor and enthusiasm by his elo-
quence.
Delegates to represent Marshall
county at the Northwest Loyalty meet
ing in Minneapolis and st. Paul next
Friday and Saturday were appointed
from the various towns and villages,
but as the representatives Of some
municipalities wanted time to confer
with their people at home before select
ing their delegates, the object being to
-eappoint men who would be sure to go,
the secretary has been unable as yet to
obtain a complete list Of the delegates
chosen. But it is safe to say that the
county will be well represented.
