picked, canned and fresh), turkey,
soft bread, hard bread, corn cakes,
corn bread, baked beans, bean soup,
rice, hominy, potatoes, (fresh and
canned), onions, tomatoes, (fresh

etables, prunes, apples, peaches, jam,
coffee, tea, sugar, milk (evaporateO,
vinegar and pickles. Care is taken
to avoid too frequent repetition of
any food in the daily meals and the
varieties make possible balanced

war department has sought to make
sure that the soldiers in training for
the new national army shall have
comfortable quarters, good food,
moral surroundings, needful recrea-
ton and above all expert military
instruction so that the new army
may be able and equipped at every
point for the task before it.

From the legs of the little Intern
ed" pigeon, which fell exhausted on
farm near Brisbane about three
weeks ago, have been cut the gold
and a silver bands, which have been
forwarded to the Office of the United
States marshal in Fargo.
At the time the pigeon was found,
NJ. n. Hayden, cashier of the First
State bank at Brisbane, Morton
county-where they are seeing air
ships-wrote the federal officials
that the Germans have opened a spy
system and he believed the carrier
pigeon to be communicating data.
The federal authorities ordered
that the bird be "interned" until aft
er the war. However, 1t was stated
at the time that il the bands were
removed the bird would be given its
freedom. According to Chief Deputy
Marshal John Gammons, the bird is
stilI being held" as a."suspect," and
he is unable to say when Ii viii be
given its liberty.
In the meantime. the chief deputy
has communicated with number of
associations handling registered
pigeons in an effort to learn facts
about the bird and IL 1t Is guilty Of
the alleged offense." The bands give
the birds registered number.

ATTORNEY BANGS
CHARACTERIZES
SUIT AS FARCE
Counsel for Brewery Head
Makes Charge of Black
mail In Court

Grand Forks. N. D., Aug. IA
When, the hearing in the case of the
State of North Dakota VS.. ]. H. Nc
lnerny, ct al.,-an outgrowth of the
recent raid on the East Grand Forks
orewery-was renewed here Monday
morning, hostilities between Assist
ant Attorney Generals H. A. Bronson
and d. V. Brennan and Attorney
George A. Bangs were renewed
"Blackmail', 'falsenood", and far
cical proceedings" were some of the
expressions handed across the table
Ignored Bone Dry Law,
Witnesses for the state Monday
told of securing beer under contract
and several of them admitted that
they had taken beer into North Da-
kota after July l, when the bone
dry" law became operative. Several
witnesses declared that they were
given beer for transportation into
North Dakota without any questions
being asked.
During the day, Mr.. Bangs made
frequent attempts to have witnesses
give their impressions of records,
which, they said, were consulted
when they appeared for their beer.
Proceedings a Farce.
"The information desired is in the
brewery records" said Mr.. Bangs.
THE book shows. We haven't got
it. The records are at Fargo and
the proceedings are degenerating in
to what is substantially a. farce.
There is blackmail in the whole
business"
At this point. Assistant Attorney
General Brennan said: %
Charges BIackmaiI.
IF counsel talks about blackmail,
Judge Amidon and Mr.. Hildreth
the u. S. district attorney of Fargo
are the ones concerned. At least.
it is reasonable to suppose that
counsel refers to these men with his
remarks
Il do said Mr.. Bangs.
Brennan answered that the charge
was a falsehood. He said the feder-
al court stood ready to permit the
books to be produced in the state
courts and did not ask the waving
of any privileges or points in the
case. The federal court had refused
only to give the books back to the
brewing company. +.
One of the most important wit
nesses yesterday was Gordon Young,
10 years old, wearing the United
States army uniform. Young is a
member Of the machine gun com
pany Of the national guard at Grand
Forks. ..t..
Fl Young testified that for several
months he has been employed as a
driver by the drayage firm of Bacon
& Van Alstyne.
One of his duties was to haul en-
PITY beer bottles and casks from the
Frederick hotel, with which the
firm had a hauling contract to the |
East Grand Forks brewery. This he |
lid regularly and sometimes there
would be a barrel of bottles and sew |
sral cases of empties. He received
credit slips for the bottles. which |
he would turn in to the hotel |
cashier. He himself had a beer con-
ract with the brewery. Young said.
He admitted that he had obtained a
arge amount of beer, but said he got
{ all for his own use.

Pobuldce of Rome Has TDo New
Heroes As Result Of AnbutdtionOf

Rome, Aug. 14.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-The fash

Corse Umberto were gazing up at
the huge screen on the building OPP
posite, where pictures of the celebri-
ties of the day-Cordona, Sonnino,
Joffre, Wilson, Lloyd -0eorge-were
being thrown on the screen. II is
the chief diversion these hot after
moons. Joffre was popular and Will
son had his admirers. Then came
the picture of a man with a great
beard. This caused tremendous
laughter. But the very climax Of
demonstrative approval came when
the picture Of thin faced man with
a workman's cap on his head was
thrown on the screen. There was a
huge ovation for this strange face.
And who is the man with the
beard?" asked the American visitor
why that is Maffle. Is 1t possible
you don't know MaffIe?'
And who is the man in the work
mans cap?"
THAT is the carpenter. Tordelli.

WORRY OVER DRAFT
CAUSE OF INSANITY
Ole Renton of Northwood, Becomes
Violently Insane-Demands He
Be Taken As Soldier.

Northwood, N. D., Aug. IA
Worry over the selective draft is
believed to have caused Ole Renton,
son of prominent Northwood
farmer, to become violently insane.
At a hearing Monday, Renton was
remanded to the county Jail, where
he will undergo treatment in the
hope that his condition may be i'm
proved. s@- r.. 7 +
While working on his fathers
farm, Renton complained of illness
and shortly after commenced to
crawl on. his hands and knees
through the field. He was taken to
his home where he became violent.
When brought before the county
board, he appeared very irrational
and demanded that he be taken as a
soldier and that no exemption claims
be made.
Renton recently was passed by the
county exemption board as physical
ly fit for service.

was really not to ItaIy's interest to
carry on the war. TordelIi was for
war, and felt that the peace speech
must be rebuked. He accordingly
waylaid Maffle on the tramway as
he came from the chamber. Maffle
had an enormous beard which was
his pride and best known character
istic. AS MaffIe stepped on the car,
Tordelh deftly operated a pair Of
scissors before the surprised deputy
knew what was happening. Then
with a shock of beard in his hand
Tordelli disappeared while Maffle
was left beardless.
Tordelh was arrested and his trial
soon began. All Rome became in
terested, the question of peace and
war divided sentiment into two
camps. When the trial came an
Italy awaited the fate of the carpen-
ter. He produced the beard at the
trial. and it was duly entered by the
court as an exhibit. Thereupon
Maffle applied for the return OF the
beard, but the court held 1t had been
separated from him and was now in
possession of the state. Tordelli
suddenly became a popular hero, as
defender of the war, while Maffle had
champions for his cause and his
beard. Their pictures are the fea-
lures Of all screens.
