The removal case against w. s

of President Shaw from Office on var
ious grounds and appointed Atty
Wehe of Devils Lake referee to take

In the meantime, the Referee and At

Of the city commission.
In the event that Judge Leighton

INSURANCE COMPANIES
CLAIM FRAUD

lNSOHANCE COMPANIES
CLAIM FRAUD
That certain farmers have, through
fraudulent means, procured the in
surance of crops almost lost, are the
claims of crop insurance companies
which are resisting the payment OF
policies written in North Dakota, ad-
SiOner.
Complaints were made to the state
insurance commissioner some time
ago alleging that insurance companies
which last spring wrote policies COW
ering crops in a certain section of the
state were "reneging" on their bar
gain and attempting to induce policy
holders to accept the return Of their
premiums in lieu of the face value of
their policies.
According to the insurance COM
panies there are two sides to this
question. In frequent instances, the
insurance companies claim, investiga-
ton has revealed that at the time
their policies were written the crops
insured were already recognized to be
a total loss and were plowed under
soon after the delivery Of the poll
cies. The companies allege that they
face bankruptcy if they pay all these
claims.
"The case is one which merits the
closest investigation" said the insur.
ance commissioner, land this depart
ment does not care to commit itself

Monty Heustis Returns to Min0t
and Joins COmDauy "a

L. A. Heustis, who has been living
in Alberta, Can, for the past six years,
returned and has joined Co. A. "Mon-
ty' has been manager of large cloth
ing house in Edmonton for number
of years but the call to his country's
flag was so strong that he gave up his
position and cleft the girl behind him"
to enlist under the Stars and Stripes.
He says that Canadians feel pretty
touchy towards Americans living in
Canada who have not joined the colors
but he assured them that they could
find plenty of slackers who have left
Canada to reside in the United States.
He says that the Canadians are getting
ready for CONSUMPTION, and about~the
only ones who will be exempted are
those actually working the farms.
Many young men have gotten married
and have moved out into the rural dis
tricts, pretending to farm. A canvas
o f the farming districts will be made
and all those not actually engaged in
farming will be conscripted if physi-
cally fit.
Mr.. Heustis tells of hundreds of Ca
nadians returning wounded. One young
man OF his ACQUAINTANCE came back with
both legs off close to the body and
both arms gone. He says the poor
fellow wishes he had been killed out
right.

organization and during the two years
following. Long before this organiza-
ton was formed, she spent great
deal of her time in doing work Of
charity. Nearly every day, some I'M
fortunate person called at her door to
secure substantial aid and he never
went away disappointed. She was
forever finding work for somebody
out Of employment, helping them to
help themselves, which is charity in
it's highest form. Then, too, she gave
of her funds unbegrudgingly to the
needy and often went without things
which she needed herself that she
tunate. The keynote of her entire
life seemed to be service, and she was
ever ready to help. She was one of the
women who assisted in organizing the
Minot Y. w. C. A. and she was chair
man of the membership committee of
the Minot Red Cross Chapter at the
time of her death. She had charge
of raising the first fund of $1,000 for
the Minot Red Cross work.
She was prominent in club work
OF the state. She was a member of the
board Of directors Of the State FEEDER

She was a charter member of the Mi

reach the American relief ships upon
which so many Americans were
brought home. Miss Kaiser, fundless
and practically stranded, made ar
rangements to drive by automobile to
the Swiss border and take haven in
beautiful and neutral Switzerland.
All went we'll until the border was
reached; there she was stopped by
military authorities After being held
at the border post for three days, the
automobile was confiscated by the
government and all of Miss Kaiser's
her and she was sent into Switzerland
penniless. By the aid of censored
marconigrams and cablegrams sent
for Miss Kaiser by the United States
ambassadors, Miss Kaiser's plight
was made known to relatives and
friends in the good old U. S. A. and
relief was soon on the way to her.
Miss Kaiser has worked many times
in conjunction with the great Ameri-
can wizard Thomas A. Edison, and
has made many scientific experimental
lions with her voice.
Miss Kaiser will in some manner at
tempt the difficult ttat of singing a
duet with herself. Her concert here
is looked forward to with great inter-
est.
Invitations have been issued to the
music lovers of Minot for recital to
be given by Miss Kaiser, The con-
cert will be given Wednesday evening,
Sept 26, at the Normal school.
Miss rAaiser is an artist Of distinc-
ton, her voice is full Of warmth, ad-
mirably controlled and she has a per-
sonality that wins instantly.
This is Miss Kaiser's first tour since
her appearance as principal soloist
with the Minneapolis Symphony Or
chestra and a rare treat is in store
for local music lovers.
