EVANGELINE SUNDAY

Miss Murray has shown that she is
one of the most versatile of the
youngest generation of actresses on
the screen. In "The Dream Girl"
she scored an emphatic success as a
a whimsical little waif of the streets
and in "The Plow Girl' she more
than doubled her popularity. 1t is ex-
pected that she will score even
greater triumph in ''On Record" In
this wonderful drama she is seen as
a young country girl, ambitious to
go into business. She goes to New
York but just as she secures posi-
ton as private secretary she is ar
rested by an over-zealous detective
and although not sent to Jail has her
Identification placed on record. An
INSCRIPTIONS attorney knows Of this
fact and when she is about to marry
the young inventor whom this attor-
ney seeks to ruin, he induces her
sweetheart's mother to accompany
him to night court and there shows
her sons fiancee's Identification
mark as a criminal.
How matters are adjusted and the
girl exonerated, are brought about
in a manner that only John B. City,
mer and Paul West can devise.

WOMEN ASSUME
CARE OF COMPANY &C" BOYS

The splendid women of Morgan
City, Berwick and Ramos have de-
cided tosystematize their efforts in
providing for the needs Of the soldi-
ers Of Company "C", now quartered
in Lawrence Park here. The COM
pany comprises about $50 men, one
of the latest additions being Mr..
Edwin O'Brien, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Brou O'Brien of Rhoda. There are
fifteen tents, including the officers
and medical corps, with from to
10 men ito each tent A number of
men are continually away on patrol
duty but these squads are changed
with regularity and will not affect
the efficiency of the plans outlined
by the ladies. The list below gives
the Tent Number and the names Of
the ladies assigned to each
These ladies will make it their in
terest to see that their tent is pro-
vided with occasional creature COM
forts and perhaps some social at
tention. Those who have been as
sign tents are expected to call upon
their neighbors and friends for as
sistance in the work they have un-
dertaken and each neighbor or
friend will have the pleasure Of fur
nishing a cake, pie, freezer of
cream, sandwiches, etc, just as Of
ten as they may choose to do so.
The work of the women in this in
stance is a little further indication
of the grave war conditions over
hanging. Each little mother of each
little squad may feel that her bunch
Of brave boys are entitled to every
bit Of pleasure she can afford them.
Perhaps, before another year these
boys may be facing the unutterable
hardships and dangers Of the firing
line. The things now being planned
by the ladies will be pleasant MEM
oreis for them. Perhaps their enjoy
ment will be Of short duration. Who
knows? They are moving them
down like ripened grain along those
terrible lines in Europe. Perhaps
the brave little squad of sturdy
young fellows whom you are now
preparing to comfort may fail to
respond in part when roll call is
sounded for them in France next
year. Because they realize these
things, the ladies of the Red Cross,
the Mothers Club, the Civic League
and other organizations are now
eager to do all they can find to do.
These have volunteered to be respon-
sible for their particular squad:

couple of loaves of bread. They left
him small portion and took the rest
of his edibles. 1t appeared that they
had lost bunch Of horses and were
looking for the thieves. They rode up
to Spoklie's wagon and took every
mouthful of victuals which he had,
even confscating his pipe and tobacco
One of them struck at Spoklie. After
and late at night came to Stony Lake
where they met band of horsemen
with whom they spent the remainder
of the night. They arrived in Burling-
ton next day but not until the follow
ing spring, did they mention word
about the Indians for fear that the
small band Of settlers along the river
might become alarmed.
The Burlington settlers (there was
no Minot them hauled most of their
provisions from Bismarck and Fort
Stevenson. The N. P. laid goods down
at Fort Stevenson via Bismarck, as
cheap as they could be bought in Bis
marck, doing this to compete with the
f. N. which had built as far as Devils
Lake. At one time 80 wagons, all
hauled by oxen, passed in long train
over the old trail from Bismarck to
! the Mouse river. Many Of the old
houses along the river, some of which
are still standing, were built of lumber
hauled from Bismarck.
| Mr.. johnson states that Burlington
got it's name from Burlington, Ia, the
home of the postmaster general of the
early days, he being the editor Of the
Burlington Hawkeye. They wanted to
name the town Cotton after the late
J. H. Cotton, but there was already a
town Of that name in South Dakota,
then part Of Dakota territory. Mr..
johnson was instrumental in getting
signers for the Burlington postoffice,
going clear to Bismarck for names,
some of which cost him two for a
quarter. One man, living a hundred
miles away, refused to sign the petit
tion because he said he was thinking
Of getting postoffice for his own set

left Fort Stevenson, they were warn
ed that the Indians were on the war
path and number of U. S. soldiers
had embarked that day on a boat up
the river to Buford, to put down the
uprising. AS. Mr.. Johnson and Mr..
Spoklie were plodding on towards
Burlington with their oxen, they spied
band of nearly hundred braves
riding towards them. They had on
their war paint, carried guns, toma-
hawks, spears, ETC., and Jim thought
his time had come. He appeared as
brave as possible, making up his mind
that if he was going to lose his scalp
he'd be game. The Indians surround
ed him and demanded food. He had a

brings out the Importance of corn. 1t
will increase the production both this
year and next year. An acre in corn
will produce as much food as / Ia to
! IL acres in oats or barley and next
year this acre will produce as much
in oats or barley this year. Corn can
also be planted in place Of summer
following. 1t leaves the land in just
as good condition for producing crop
next year and gives valuable crop
at the same time. Increased produc-
ton will likely be as important next
year as this year. Alfalfa is also a
very important crop. It is the greatest
food producer Of all the crops. The

tious pound for pound as the seeds Of

TO INCREASE CROPS
ROTATE AND RAISE STOCK

In the agitation for an increase in
the production Of wheat the question
may well be raised Should the rota-
ton Of crops be dropped? Director
Cooper answers this question as fol-
lows:
Agriculture as whole must be con-
sidered. It is a problem of increasing
the total production of human and ami
NAL food. The increase in wheat
should come as result of decrease
in the acreage Of oats and barley and
the oats and barley acreage can well
be further reduced and corn planted
instead as the corn will produce more
stock food per acre than will the oats
and barley. Not only will the corn
produce more food but it will also put
the land in shape for producing larg-
er crop Of wheat next year. This

The man who wrote this was most
eloquent, but he evidently doesn't care
to see women vote: Why is woman
dissatisfied? Why does she grow rest
less under the crown Of womanhood?
Why is she weary, of the God-given
Jewel Of motherhood? Is it not a suffi-
Gent political achievement for woman
that future rulers nurse at her breast,
laugh in her arms and kneel at her
feet? Can ambition leap to more glor-
ious heights than to sing lullabies to
the worlds greatest geniuses, chant
melodies to master minds and rock the

the other plants. The grass crops are
important as they produce fair
amount of food with but little labor
and they also clean the land of weeds
and add organic matter to the soil.
Livestock production should be in
creased. They produce some of the
most important articles Of food and
clothing and they consume the crops
that it is necessary to grow in the ro-
tation in order to keep up the produc-
ton Of wheat. The rotating of the
crops and the keeping Of livestock
make possible better utilization Of
labor. It increases the amount Of
food that each unit Of labor can pro-
duce. If production is to be increased
the crops should be rotated and live
stock increased.

Jim" Johnson's Experience
With Indian Warriors

James johnson was in reminiscent
mood the other evening and related an
interesting story of his encounter with
a band of rs or 100 warlike Indians
in the early days, at point south of
Minot, which we have never seen in
print.
"Jim" and Ole Spoklie, back in 1884,
had driven their oxen to Fort Steven
son, rs miles south of this point, on
the Missouri river, near where Cole
harbor now stands, for lumber which
had been brought up the Missouri on
boats. They wanted this lumber for
floors in their log houses. AS they

Five negro women arrested a week

fines. They have banded together in
a sort of union and state that here
after they will pay no fines, believing
that when it is learned that the city
will get no more money from this
source, they will not be molested so
much. One Of the women could have
gone free, her imam" having called to
pay the fine, but she would not allow

IN THE Wilmington city elections

IN THE Wilmington city elections
which were held last Saturday, the
Republicans elected their whole tick
ct with only a few minor exceptions.
All the city officers at large, except
ing the Mayor, we're elected by the
usual majorities by Republicans while
the Democrats elected their candidate
for Mayor by a majority Of over four
hundred. There are many reasons
assigned for the results Of the cleo
ton, and they are just according to
the side from which they eminate. The
Mayor has the appointing Of the
Street and Sewer Commissioners, and
the Water Commission, so that It is
safe to state that there will be a gen.
eral change in the personel of both Of
these important parts Of the Whining
ton City government. The Demo
Gratis will be in charge. and respon-
sible for the results, be they good or
bad, in Wilmington.
