Ban LUXURY
DURING WAR,
N. P. ORDER
SWEEPING CHANGES WILL BE
MADE OVER SYSTEM TO AID
GOVERNMENT.
Rush Troop and Freight Movements.
Officials Visit Here-Big Baked
Potato to Discard.

Sweeping changes in freight and
passenger service of the Northern Pa
cifc Railway are to be put in effect,
to assist the United States govern
ment in carrying out it's war policy.
Fullest cooperation of the N. P. system
in all plans Of the federal government
to ruch troops, food, ammunition and
coal to destinations is assured, accord
ing to statement of George T. Slade,
first vice president, who was in Dick
inson Sunday, on board special train
carrying officials of the road over the
entire system on the spring inspection
tour.
Equipment on all N. P. de luxe
trains will be cut to the limit. "Tenta-
tive plans are to take observation
cars off Nos. 1. and q; discontinue din
ing cars on Nos. and 4; cut off
parlor cars, and in the words of Mr..
Slade, have as: few trimmings as pos
sible. Utility will be the aim of the
officials and luxury will be shunted to
the discard. --.--..---
No More Giant Spuds.
And the "Great Big Baker Potato" :"
which features every ad of the N. p.
dining car service, is among the first
of the luxuries to be discontinued.
The mammoth spud, an innovation of
the fertile mind of Hazen J. Titus,
superintendent of the dining car serv-
ice, was scratched from the menu be-
ginning Monday, and the big tubers,
weighing from IL to 3 pounds each,
will be listed among the missing till
the war clouds roll away.
It is thought that the passenger
business will be- regulated to insure
speeding up of freight transportation
to the top notch. Seed grain and
farm machinery will be given prefer
ence over all other varieties Of
freight, and it is the aim Of the gov
ernment to entirely lift the freight
blockade, which has reached serious
proportions throughout the North
west. One or more of the passenger
trains may be discontinued, and this
will give the government much more
equipment for movements deemed es-
sential to the welfare of the nation.
War No Farce, Says Slade. Il.
Mr.. Sfade stated that people of the
United States must awaken to reali-
zation of the fact that this war is
serious matter, not farce, and that
they must bend every effort to carry
hight to a successful. conclusion. The
railroads will do everything within
their power to further this aim, he as
serted. Ss.s .
"This system will not Be considered
as the Northern Pacific Railway, but
as part of the great transcontinent-
al railway system of the United
States, pledged to aid in every way
humanity possible in the rapid trans
portation of troops and supplies and
everything required for the growing
ofsa record crop, that people Of the
nation and its defenders may be prop
erly fed" said Mr.. Slade.

OFF FOR
CAMP IN MONTANA

Dickinson recruits to Company K,
three in number, left on No. 8
Wednesday afternoon to join their
new comrades Somewhere, in Mon
tana," in company with ten ether re-
cruits from Casselton, who were sent
direct from their home city to the
camp, having been examined by the
army physician at Casselton this
week.
Sergeant J. L. Monson, John Och
senfeldt and Clarence Watson COM
prised the local trio, and the Cassel-
ton volunteers were J. Costello,
Charles Edwards, Levi Ruud, Clar-
ence Haase, Vaughn Brewer, John
Tritchler, William Lockhart, James E.
Brewer, Walter English and Myron
Wright. One agreeable feature Of the
getaway was that ten recruits COM
prised the Casselton contingent, in
stead of the five who had been ex-
pected to roll in on No. 8.
With the arrival of the new rook-
les, strength of Company K will be
AZ men, less than one-half the maxi
mum peace strength. Efforts to get
recruits have met with little success
here, though Sergeant Kunz has done
all within his power to augment the
company's~ numbers.
It is the hope that the Patriotic
Day celebration will be instrumental
in arousing the young men of Dick
inson to a realization of the fact that
this war is matter to be taken seri-
ously, and that their country needs
them as never before. Loyalty Day
celebrations in other cities stimulated
recruiting and it is thought that it
may have a similar effect here.
Sergeant Kunz is busily engaged in
drilling high school lads each evening
during the school week, and the boys
are entering with zestf into the work.
About 40 Of them are being instruct
ed in the rudiments Of military train
ing.

"Wake-U America" Day will be
celebrated in Dickinson on Tuesday,
May 1, the nineteenth anniversary of
Dewey's great victory over the Span
ish fleet in Manila bay. Plans have
been practically completed for the

give expression to their love for their
flag and their nation.
: A mammoth parade, with every
man, woman and child in the city
on that day participating, will usher
in the afternoons program. Line of
march will be through the principal
business streets of the city,. on both
north and south sides. Parade will
terminate at the Merchants National
Bank corner, where a program of
speeches and music will be given.
Business houses of the city will close,
a half-holiday being declared, and
pupils of the schools will be dis
missed in time to join in the pageant.
Order of Units.
Tentative order in which the diff
ferent units of the procession will
line up is as follows:
Spirit of '76, fife, drum and flag
School children.

Spanish War Veterans.
Former members of Company K.

ginning of the parade, according to
the plan, the pupils to join the process
sion near the school, the South Side
body when the parade has crossed
the tracks and the Red Cross and
other ladies' organizations on return
from the South Side.
There will be no autos or vehicles
of any sort in the parade and no ma
chimes will tbe allowed in the vicinity
of the speakers stand while the pro-
gram is in progress. The only excep-
.tion to this will be that a motor truck
will carry veterans Of the Civil war.
Tentative plan also is for the partici-
patton in the parade of young lady
garbed as Columbia" and decorat-
ed car would be provided for her in
the line of march.
Music will be furnished by the local
band, with the assistance of num-
ber of out-of-town musicians, several
to come from Belfeld and perhaps
three or four from Taylor. Efforts
to enlist services Of the Glendive drum
corps were unsuccessful, and local
talent will make up the "Spirit of
49," which will probably head the
procession.

With grinding creak of ancient
joints and amid protesting walls from
rust-incrusted salary wings, the lid
will be kicked off the 1917 baseball
season in this city Sunday afternoon,
when the Rolling Pin Dodgers, alias
the married stiffs, will clash in
deadly diamond combat with their
care-free bachelor brothers. One Mr..
Pippin, star infelder of Dickinson's
fast independent squad of last year,
will pilot the Life Termers, and
Brother AL. .Kronschnabel, crack out
fielder of the 1916 tribe, will look
after the destinies~ of the "No We'd
ding Bells" aggregation. Both man.
ayers have been busily engaged in
frisking the highways and byways for
playing talent during the week, and
each claims an easy victory on the
eve of battle. A big crowd of base
ball hungry bugs is expected to be on
hand when the gong clangs for the
beginning of hostilities, and it is
planned to have a large array of
physicians, Red Cross attendants and
first-aid outfits in readiness to care
for the wounds Of the combatants.
Probable lineups:
Bachelors -Kronschnabel, G. Rob-
erts. H. Roberts, Grubb, Wiley, Lob
man, Tullsen, Patterson, McGrath.
nedicts-Pippin, Davis, Mcbride,
Litch, Bloom, Farr, Dauber, Koste-
lecky, Scholtz, Lish, Herbert.
No attempt is made to give posi-
tions, as the score sheet will resemble
war map of Serbia before the game
is many innings old, and sudden,
sweeping and violent changes will
probably be made in the lineups. A
call is extended to every ball player
and near ball player in the city to be
out, as subs by the dozen are desired
to take the place Of the manned and
wounded.

USE Of SCHOOLS
URGED BY DR.. CLAYTON
U. S. Commissioner of Education
Outlines Possible Activities at
Dunbar Building Exercises.

Greater use of the school plant was
strongly advocated by DR.. Philander P.
Claxton. United States commissioner OF
education. in an address at the Dunbar
High School last evening DR.. Claxton
delivered his address at the second nights
program held at the new school in con-
nection with the dedication exercises.
He urged the use of the school for
longer period of time than it is now
used each year: told of the ways in
which it might be used for the education
of parents, and spoke of the large number
of uses to which the school might be put
DR.. ClaXton urged that the school should
be used practically all the time. rather
than only during a comparatively small
portion of the year, as at present. The
position of the high school on the educa-
tional ladder, said Commissioner Claxton,
is an important one.
Compares Old and New.
Comparison of the new building. its lab
oratories and equipment. with the old N
Street High School, it's predecessor, was
made by Edward C. Williams. former
principal at NJ Street. Mr.. Williams said
that despite the difficulties arising from
lack of facilities at the old building, good
work had been done and good records
made by the students. He expressed the
hope that with the facilities afforded by
the new structure improvement might be
noted.
Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard Uni
versity spoke of the close connection
which had existed between the old NJ
street building and the institution
with which he was connected These
bonds he hoped, might be strengthened
between the Dunbar School and the
university. Students from the school,
of whom more than 100 now are en-
rolled at Howard, have made excellent
records, he said.
Judge Robert H. Terrell outlined the
history of colored high schools of
Washington. He explained that the
first colored principal of the first col
ored high school here had been the late
Miss Mary Patterson. the first colored
woman to be graduated from Oberlin
College, and that the second colored
principal was Richard T. Greener, first
colored graduate of Harvard Uni
versity.
Kept Away by Illness.

last evening. but was prevented by
illness from leaving his home in Chi
cago. Illness also prevented the at
