WALDRON TO ADDRESS
POLYTECHNIC MEETING
Will Speak on Application of Bio
metrical Methods to the Study
of Plants.

The Polytechnic society will be adj
dressed Wednesday evening by L. r.
Waldron on The Application of Bio
metrical Methods in the Study of
Plants. This formidable looking sub
ject deals with methods of studying
plans by means of calculating various
relations from large series Of data
Such studies require a great amount
of labor in securing these data and a
few mathematical processes not met in
ordinary courses Of study. Conse-
Quently they are little understood by
most people and regarded with more
or less suspicion.
(. The methods are, however, exceed
method of bookkeeping for expert
plants and animals only in the last
twenty years. they have become Of
quite general use. Sufficient evidence
of their Importance is the fact that
they employ methods similar to those
in calculation of insurance rates. This
meeting will offer an unusual op-
portunity of learning something of the
methods and their value in plant
breeding work.
Mr.. Waldron. who was formerly as
sistant botanist the the agricultural coll
lege and for several years superintend-
ent of the Dickinson sub-station, is
now in charge of plant breeding work
for the experiment station. His work
in promoting the, growth of alfalfa in
North Dakota is well known. At this
meeting he will speak briefly Of work

ernor of the state, made the address,
and it was a wonderfully vivid pic
ture Of the famed president that he
painted for his audience.
1t was in his description of the
scene enacted on the battlefield at
Gettysburg that Mr.. Devine brought
his address to a climax.
Out of the smoke of battle, the
speaker pictured the constitution of
the United 'States-still standing, her
army victorious.
Justice Christianson, in presenting
the bust, declared the state was for
tunate in its possession of a sculp-
tor who has won as much fame as Mr..
Fjelde.
The musical features Of the pro-
gram were exceptionally good. Mrs.
H. H. Steele, Mr.. and Mrs. p. A. Wes-
sci, Mrs. Ross, the Bismarck male
quartet, and Richard Penwarden, Jr.,
contributed to 1t.
Lieutenant Governor A. T. Kraabel
presided over the session. -
AS a democratic gathering, 1t prob
ably was without parallel-in the
galleries sat the fashionably gowned
women Of Bismarck, the school chill
dren, and a group OF youngsters from
the states reform school-while the
main floor OF the house was filled with
legislators, state officials, justices OF
the supreme court and many others.

there is q total congregation Of over
400 OF which number abou 325 are
communicates, ranging in age from
IL years upward.

During the years which the church
has been active In this city the con-
gregatbon has had three places Of
worship. The first church was erect
ed on Third street near the Great
Northern railroad. This edifice. a
frame structure, served the members
until the big fire Of 1893 when 1t was
destroyed. Later another church
building was erected at the corner of
Fourth street and Fourth avenue and
served as the place of worship until
the new edif1ce to be dedicated Sun
day. was started.
In erecting the splendid building the
pastor and the entire congregation are
to be congratulated for they have
| worked hard and faithfully and have
erected building that they can well
be proud of and which the entire city
can take pride in.
The cost of the building was about
$50 900, and is not only well built but
is beautifully fitted and furnished
The memorial, stained glass windows
are most beautiful ones. These win
dows were donated by the various
church societies and individual mem
bers. The pewS are of the latest de-
sign and are designed to enhance the
beauty of the interior of the church.
There are beautiful carpets which are
the donation of the Sunday school. an
evidence that the entire body has nut
forth every effort to assist in the great
work. ...E,
The plans for the building were
drawn by Architect r. j. Haxby, the
general contractor being X. Erdahl.
The work of these designers and
builders has been such that the church
voted a. resolution Of thanks for the
efficiency evidenced. The heating
plumbing and wiring contract was
done by Joe Keller, also of this city
The work on the new building
started on May 10, 1916, when the
first ground was broken. On July 16
the corner store was laid with APP
propriate ceremonies.
At the morning and evening dedicA-
tory services an offering will be taken
for the building fund.

RETIRED IN COURT

Alex Moug, Jr, Started in Dis
trict Court.

The case of the Ayr Farmers Ele-
vator Co. versus Alex Moug, Jr., which
was UP in the district court some time
ago and in which retrial was grant
ed by Judge Charles A. Pollock. was
started in the district court before
Judge A. T. Cole and jury this
morning.
In this case it is alleged that Moug
made purchases from the elevator
company to the amount Of $500,
which was never paid, but to which
Moug files a counter claim for the
Same amount alleging that he had
given the company's agent that
amount of money to buy grain for
him. but that he never got his money
back, the agent at that time, Peter
son by name. having been sent to the
penitentiary on a statutory charge.
In the first trial Of the case the
elevator directors claimed that they
were not responsible for money which
Moug had given the agent for the pur-
pose of gambling in the markets and
in his instructions Judge Pollock held
that the defendant must prove that
the money went to the elevator COM
pany. After the evidence was all in
Judge Pollock held that Moug had not
made a sufficient showing in this re-
gard and granted a new trial.

ceedingly distressing disease does not
shorten life. but does not appear to be
durable. Sufferers from this affliction
are condemned to undergo the period
ical attacks every few weeks until they
are 40 years of age, after which the at
tacks are less frequent, and finally dis
appear entirely. Palliative measures
during the attack are all that 1t Is pos
sible to suggest, while care in the diet
is the best preventive measure. An at
tack may often be prevented by taking
two anti-kamnia tablets when the first
tablet every two hours during the at
tack shortens 1T, eases the pain and
brings rest and quiet.
Anti-kamnia tablets may be obtained
at all druggists. Ask for AK Tablets.
They quickly relieve all pain.

GOMPERS URGES LABOR
TO FIGHT POSTAGE TAX
Appeals to Unions to Protest Pro-
posed Increase in Second
Class Rates.

Organized labor has been asked by
Samuel Gompers. president of the A. +.
of L.. to protest against the increase of
second-class mail rates as proposed in
the war tax bill.
IAN immediate protest against this
increase in postage rates on second
class matter and against the applica-
ton of the zone SYSTEM" urges Presf-
dent Gompers, should be directed to
every congressman and senator. Every
central labor union, state federation of
labor and all affiliated unions should
Immediately voice their protest against
this menacing proposal.
Action to be effective must be had
at once. Respond to this appeal with
out delay Act now!'
No such exorbitant rate as this ex-
lists for any class of matter for the
times" Mr.. Gompers says. Such tax
Is strictly prohibitive. 1t spells disas-
ter and ruin to the labor press of our
country and will seriously hamper and
retard that part of the public press
sympathetic to the appeals and needs
OF the labor movement.
This proposed increase Of postage
rates on second-class mail matter can
only benefit those publications sup
ported and financed by and in the in
terest of large and gigantic combine
tons Of wealth. 1t will destroy those
ence because Of their desire and deter
mination to serve the great mass of our
people, working men and women of our
country.
THE public press. like every other in
dividual. concern or institution. should
of war taxes. This, however, should be
done by increasing the income and in
heritance taxes, tax upon profits and
upon land values"
