! esting birds and explained them.
Wednesday all Of us girls baked a
war bread. We had a lunch at IL: 80,
and then we visited the Red Cross
headquarters. In the evening Mrs.
ArYold told us some stories about a
little boy named Charles making a
garden Of his own, and music and
different stories.
Thursday we heard some very nice
music, and Mr.. Danziger canned
some apples. Then after Mr.. Danziger
had finished some of the boys canned
some carrots and apples.
Then Miss Sullivan had a talk
about schools ....
In the afternoon we played games,
which was very much fun. After we
finished playing games, MIR. Danziger
had some contests in corn and
threading needles, three boys and
three girls eating a piece Of pie
with their hands tied so they could
| not use them and sharpening pencils.
Then we were taken through the
dairy barn during milking and feed
ing time.
Friday morning Mr.. Danziger told
us how to organize a local club. Aft
er Mr.. Danziger had finished Miss
Jensen baked meat pie and pre-
pared some beets, cauIifiower and
baked some corn fritters. Then she
gave us a taste OF everything she
prepared. Then we went through the
greenhouse which was very inter-
esting.
In the greenhouse were different
kinds of very beautiful flowers and
/ trees. One Of them was a banana tree
with fruit on it. There also were
some cages with animals in them.
There were some monkeys and white
mice and alligators and a swan
standing in some water. There were
some goldfish and lizards in a glass
tub with flowing water.
In the afternoon officers were
elected. 49,. r.
The best thing liked was the visit
to the greenhouse.
Friday night we started off for
home again. We travelled all night
until we reached Rutland. There we
had our breakfast and then we went
on again. We reached Glendale
around dinner time.
/ think it was a very interesting
trip.
Yours truly.

10 bring out in Youmans' testimony
the alleged III feeling existing be-
tween him and Hall prior to Halls
request for quick loan, and after
several such attempts, Judge Coffey
called a halt

evident from your questions that
this matter has nothing to do with
WaIIa's Story.
On direct examination, Walla re-
lated a story OF affairs in the sec
rotary of states Office, substantially
as follows:
Currency in amounts running as
high as 5000 came into the automo-
bile registration department daily.
Both Hall and Walla took this cur
rency out OF the till for their own
use. Walla gave Hall currency at
various times, cashing the first check
for Hall in January, 1915.
He simply came in and asked me
to give him a certain amount and
told me to hold his check for il. He
did this other times in 1916. He came
in several times and asked me to
cash a check for him, and did so.
He took up some of the checks. At
the end of 1915. as recollect there
was from $500 to $500 in slips and
checks in the cash drawer.
Sometimes he would come and oet
some money and tell me to make a
slip for it and he would give me a
check later. At the end Of 1915 some
of the checks had been held six. sew
en-, eight and nine months. In 1916

more currency and told me to hold
the checks. He made out some of the
slips and made out some out. In
1915 the slips and checks were kept
in my vault, the checks and slips in
a locked drawer. BY the close OF 1915
Hall had slips and checks in the
cash drawer to the amount Of about
81. 40C.
Il recall the Warwick, Mitchell,
Peet examination at the close Of
1916. / had a conference with Hall
on this examination. He wanted to
know how near to date they were
going to make their examination.
Hall said he supposed he would have
to take up his slips and checks, and /
told him / thought there would be
enough new business to cover. Mar
wick, Mitchell, Peet never counted
the cash; just verified the books.
never saw the report, and was not
called upon to make up any deficit.
At the end Of the year charged the
department with the 1916 business
and deposited enough checks of 1917
to make the books balance-probabl

Gave New Checks.
"At the end of 1915 / had carried
none of Halls checks over a year.
He would give new checks for old
ones from time to time. This practice
of Halls continued in 1917, and
there were checks and slips OF his In
the till in June, 1917, to the amount
Of $4,000. The amount had steadily
grown from the time he gave me his
first check in 1916 until the total was
about $4,000.

for secretary OF state and was under
heavy expense. He sent out little

Washington, Dec. 21.-American
oficials said today they had no

Areaty between Russia and Japan de-
iScribed in the PeTogTad dispatches,
Dlt they considered that to describe
1t as contemplating "joint armed
demonstration against America and

examination was devoted to details
Of Walla's business ventures In
jamestown in 1912, prior to his en-
tering the service of the secretary
Of state, in April, 1913. The examin-
alton brought out that Walla had
been unsuccessful in q certain en-
terprise, owing to the detection of a
partner, the witness claimed; and
the witness admitted having helped
himself to some of the resources Of
the Mccullough Midget company, by
which he then was employed. A
shortage existed when he settled with
this company, said Walla, and he be-
gan paying $50 a month on that
shortage at the end of his first
months employment with the Sec
rotary of state, when witness was
receiving 800 the month. Since COM
ing to Bismarck, Walla testified, he
has repaid other large sums OF in
debtedness which resulted from his
jamestown business operations. His
first remittances were made in cur
rency. said Walla, because he was
not then earning enough to open a
bank account. He began banking his
money in November, 1918, and there
after paid by check.
Youmans on Stand.
The states first witness Thursday
was Grant S. Youmans, who sued
Secretary Of State Hall, Governor
Hanna and other members of for
mer state banking board for $225,oOO
damages on charges growing out OF
the closing of a Minot bank in which
Youmans was interested several
years ago. More recent bad blood be-
tween Hall and Youmans was Great
ed when Hall, as g. member of the
North Dakota blue sky commission
declined to vote in favor Of a
Youmans banking enterprise In
which a large amount of stock was to
be sold, preferably to farmers in the
northern part of the state.
Youmans testified that Hall about
oct. 20. had written him a letter ask
ing that Youmans call the secretary
Of state by long distance phone and
intimating that things had occurred
which gave him (HalD a clearer
light on certain matters of interest
to Youmans. Youmans after con-
versation with Hall mailed the lat

was returned the same day, Hall ad-
vising that he found he had no need
for this money.

Careful reading Of the four pub

the opinion that the general purpose

than in the secret convention.

right to attend the institute by TAX

tails OF her trip TO Fargo, her visit
here, and the return home, as fol-

Mr.. Hardy:

the hotel, and then played games

When we reached Fargo it was

She then took us to the hotel, and we
left our things there. Then we went

went back to the hotel and went to

an address of welcome.
Then Miss Fromme had a very i'm

The New Way.

The one and only objection which
the housewife has to the frequent use
Of sauerkraut is its disagreeable
odor while cooking The national
food producer has removed this OBJ
lection by putting the sauerkraut in
convenient sized properly labeled
cans in which the housewife can heat
her sauerkraut without any odor
whatever. and open the can when
ready TO serve.
Sauerkraut Is valuable in the diet
because Of its flavor. mineral salts
and bulk. The latter aids in elimina-
tion and thereby prevents constipa-
ton. Because Of its mineral salts,
sauerkraut takes the place Of green
vegetables i'm sailors diet.
The housewife may we'll use sauer-
Sraut freely in the winter time when
green vegetables are scarce. and,
therefore. high in price.
Some serve sauerkraut raw instead
OF cold slaw but by far the greater
number prefer the cooked product.
The appetite demands some kind Of
tat and meat as an accompaniment
to sauerlkraut.

San Francisco, Dec. 22.-Texas
takes the crown from Illinois In the
matter of female flying. And the
crown is fitting nicely, thank you
on the head of Katherine Stinson,
who recently flew from San Diego to
San Francisco, making $50 miles
without alighting.
Ruth Law OF Chicago had found
the crown good fit for her curls for
more than a year. In November,
1915, she set record for women
flyers by negotiating 512h miles be-
tween Chicago and Hornell, N. Y.
She had started for New York city.
but was forced TO alight because of
engine trouble and bad weather. In
New York after her flight, which was
made in a Curtis machine, she an
nounced she would next tackle a
coast-to- coast fly. When the war
started, however, she gave her time
to flying in the interests of Liberty
bond sales and Red Cross work.
Miss Stinson, In her San Diego
San Francisco flight was in the air
nine hours and won the distinction
of being the only flyer to cross the
Tehachapi mountains on a nonstop
flight.
Both women have flown extensive
ly for the past two years.
Both girls have offered their serv-
ices to Uncle Sam in the aviation
service, but the powers that be have
not found need for women pilots as
vet. Miss Law has a commission in
the aviation reserves. She has asked
washington repeatedly to let her go
abroad and fly with the army men.
