Burlington

Wednesday was Red Letter day
for Burlington. Practically every bust
ness place was closed as we'll as the
public schools and all went to Minot
to attend the farewell given for the
departing soldier boys. Burlington
contributed four Of her young men to
the company which left that day for
Camp Dodge: Warren Durbin, Ed
ward Johnson, Rolla Johnson and
Louis Machoni. Many a heartache
was occasioned by the sight of these
young men leaving on mission that
may end in their death upon for
eign battlefield, but it is to be hoped
that every one of the boys may come
back covered with glory and honor
won in defending their country against
the hated Huns Let us see that the
boys are not forgotten and that we
follow their course thruout and pro-
vide such comforts as it is in our pow
err to protect them against the rigors
of climate and the hardships attend
ant upon soldiers life. Let us not
neglect the creature comforts as we'll,
such as home cooked stuff and tobac-
co.

appropriations that the administers
; ton has asked for on account of the
war and are such as are essential dur
ing the present fiscal year for the eff
fective and proper conduct Of the mil
itary operations planned by the Unit
ed States for it's part in the European
War.
The new Revenue bill which was
sent to Conference on Wednesday,
provides as amended by the Senate
for raising about $2,45O,OOO,0OO by tax
alton during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1918, to meet expenses of the
war. When the Revenue bill was pass
ed by the House and sent to the Sen
ate last May, it provided for raising
by taxation approximately fifty per
cent of the revenue then estimated to
be necessary for war expenses during
the present fiscal year. Since the bill
was passed by the House last May,
the Administration has asked for sew
eral more billions of dollars for the
wars expenses for this year. AS the
bill was returned to the House this
week amended by the Senate, it pro-
vides for raising through taxation
about 80 per cent Of the money need
ed for the expenses of the war during
the present fiscal year. 1t is expect
ed that the House Conferees will in
sist in the Conference on the bill that
a considerably larger sum be raised
by taxation than is now provided for
to be raised as the bill has been am
ended by the Senate.
The total appropriations for the
present fiscal year that have been
made and that are contemplated will
be made aggregate about 100000,
according to the statement made by
Majority Leader Kitchen to my in
quiry on this subject last Wednes-
day. This includes the $7,000,000,000
for war loans that have been made
and that are expected to be made to
foreign governments. The estimated
actual was expenses of the United
States for the present fiscal year, are
about $8,300,O00,000 The new reve-
nue. bill will provide for raising by
taxation between $2,500,OOO,0O0 and
SO OOO,000,000 Of this amount. The re-
naming amount is left to be provided
for by the issue and sale of bonds and
as may be passed at the next regular
session Of Congress which begins in
December Representative Kitchen
has strongly intimated that another
war revenue bill may be introduced
by the Administration and passed
during the next session Of Congress.

STOLEN CAR LOCATED IN MINOT
Sons of Prominent St. Paul Families
Drive Stolen Hudson Six to MinOt
Arrested in St. Paul

Captain Rowan and Detective Paul
Godfrey of St. Paul arrived in Minot
Saturday evening and recovered a
practically new Hudson Six auto which
had been stolen from Attorney Mort
Helm of St. Paul, driven to Minot and
sold. The car was shipped back to ST..
Paul Sunday and the officers left for
Lakota where they had located another
Hudson Six. which had been stolen
from the Dryer Music Co. and sold to
a party at Lakota. The officers drove
the Lakota car back to St. Paul.
A couple of smooth young, fellows
arrived in Minot recently with tine
looking $500 Hudson car which had
run only 1900 miles, and offered it for
sale for $500. They explained that
they were going west and had gotten
into a poker game at Grand Forks,
losing most Of their money. They had
a business appointment in the west
and were willing to sacrifice their car.
They found ready buyer.
The lads returned to St. Paul where
they reside, and they were soon arrest
ed by detectives. They confessed to
their thefts and told where the cars
could be located.
The young men are members Of
wealthy St. Paul families and it is ex-
pected that their daddies will make
good the money that they received for
the stolen cars.
Paul Godfrey, the detective who
came to Minot, is one of the officers
who fought with three bandits in sa-
loon in St. Paul about year ago. Mr..
Godfrey was shot in the chest and four
of his teeth were shot out, but he killed
two of the bandits, while another Off
Ger killed the third.

MARY PICkFORD AT ARCADE
WEDNESDAY AND TIL TUESDAY,

Popularity known as "America's
Sweetheart" Mary Pickford presents
particularly fitting characterization
in the title role of her new spectacu-
lar photoplay of great patriotic ap-
peal, "The Little Americana" released
by the Aircraft Pictures. Disclosing
a story Of especial timely theme by
Cecil B. De Mile and Jeanne Macpher-
son and staged under the personal di-
rection of the former, this production
brings home most effectively condi-
tons involving the present great war.
Stirring views of remarkable spectac-
ular war scenes, both on land and sea,
ner of photoplay technique and once
again the combined talents of the two
celebrated artists, Mary Pickford and
Cecil B. De Mile, have been linked to-
gether in the cause of a great photo
play. T..
As Angela Moore, the little Ameri-
can girl who braves the dangers of
the war zone, "Our Mary" appears in
what is readily considered the great
est dramatic effort Of her career. In
scenes that demand much of her his
tronic finesse she offers a portrayal
that is unlike anything hitherto given
to the screen by this most famous fav-
orite of the motion picture world.
In the production Of "The Little
American" various well-known au-
thorities on conditions evidenced across
the ocean have collaboraed with the
director general, with the result that
even the most minute detail has been
pronounced perfect. AS patriotic
message that will strike responsive
chord in the breast of every Aren't
can, this photoplay has been pro-
nounced the most powerful of all Gin
ema offerings.
