Honest

A certain rector, just before
the service, was called to the
vestibule to meet a couple who
wanted to be married. He ex-
planned that there wasn't time
for the ceremony then. But, !"
said he, IF you will be seated |
will give you an opportunity at
the end of the service for you to
come forward, and will then
perform the ceremony.
The couple agreed, and at the
proper moment the clergyman
said: will those who wish to be
united in the holy bonds of
matrimony please come for
ward?"
Thereupon thirteen women and
one man proceeded to the altar.

OUT OF TOWN WOMEN
URGED TO AID IN WORK

On Saturday afternoon, June %, the
work room of the Red Cross will be
open at o'clock for the afternoon and
a special invitation is extended to all
out-of-town visitors and shoppers to
spend as much time as possible there
and learn to do the different kinds of
work. Many farmers wives can
spare time for knitting and sewing
and many rural ladies' aid societies
would be glad to do Red Cross work
if they had the specifications. All
rules for work are laid down by the
national organization SO that it will
be uniform. Now that some of our
own first unit is in France the interest
in the home work is rapidly increasing
and women are willing and anxious to
"do their bit" for the brave boys at
the front. The local work room is To-
Gated in the Lewis-W -Wedum block and
every day this week women have
gathered for two hours to do the work
of mercy that the Red Cross every
where stands for.

Cyclone Kills Two and Destroys
Much, Property in Missouri Valley

A terrific windstorm and cyclone,
cutting a swath from 80 to 40 miles
in width, extending from Oswego to
the Dakota line, left death and de-
struction in it's wake, Saturday af-
ternoon.
About 4:3O p. m. the wind assumed
the proportions of a cyclone and swept
down the Missouri river valley.
Serious damage was done to all the
towns along the line of the Great
Northern. At Oswego the property
loss was heavy, but no one was seri,
ously injured. The new school house
was left in ruins and other buildings
in the city suffered material damage
Wolf Point was hit the hardest and
while the damage to the larger bust
ness blocks was small, frame build
ings in all parts of the city collapsed
like decks of cards. One woman was
killed and two others seriously in
jured during the storm.
One man lost his life north of Pop
lar, but no other casualties have beer
reported there. Many small buildings
were smashed and the school house
badly damaged.
The country south Of Wolf Poin
suffered the most. Scarcely claim
shack or barn was left standing in thu
storm area, and it will be a miracle
if there was no loss of life.

E. C. Day, chairman of the "Red
Cross" campaign, for subscriptions in
the state of Montana, called a meet
ing of all selected district campaign
managers and county delegates on
Saturday afternoon at the Placer ho-
tel, Helena. A large number were in
attendance for the purpose of outlin-
ing plans to raise 100000 in the
state of Montana to help conduct this
work. Valley county has been asked
to donate $4,000 for her proportion of
the states quota. President Wilson
has set aside by proclamation the
week of June 18 to 25 as Red Cross
Week and our country has been asked
for 100000, 900, which will be gladly
given by the patriotic citizens of the
greatest nation of the world
Mr.. w. H. Stone of Portland, Ore
gon, campaign manager northwestern
division, in a talk at the meeting told
of the need of the Red Cross and how
absolutely necessary the Red Cross
work was to the soldiers at the front.
Due to lack of sanitation, there were
more soldiers killed in the wars of the
Rebellion and Spanish-American than
by bullets. Do your bit now and join
the army of Red Cross workers and
help make conditions on the front
better for our soldiers. A large
amount of money is necessary to car
ry out the work, as there are so many
soldiers fighting. To give one an idea
of the large number of men that have
been killed, wounded and that are ac-
lively engaged in this present war,
the following figures tell the story:
5000 900 soldiers killed to date; S,0Oo,-
900 hopelessly wounded, and 43,OO0,O0O
now actually engaged in this struggle
for democracy. 1t is probable that
the United States will add 1900, ,OOO
men and will be ready for action on
the French soil by September 1st, and
100000 men by December 1st.
The Red Cross work is essential fol
the welfare of our boys who will be
on the firing line in very short time
so let's do our bit by being Rec
Cross worker.

ut is requested that every effort
be now made to detect and arrest per-
sons subject to registration who have
not registered, and to bring each
promptly to the attention of the
nearest representative Of the depart
ment of justice. Care should be taken
that the lists prescribed in paragraph
80 (men registered) are promptly
posted and all registrants should be
asked to assist in bringing non-regis-
trants to the attention of the police.
"In case Of doubt as to the age Of
persons who have not registered the
tabulated records Of political organi-
cations and other local records should
be consulted and data may be obtained
from the bureau of the census"
Washington Is Lowest.
Among states reporting so far Ohio
stands first in proportion of regis.
tration to the census estimate with
113 per cent. Washington is the low
est with 500 per cent.
A feature of the few complete re-
turns in the high percentage of the
indicated exemption, averaging ap
proximately so per cent of the tota
registration. Officials pointed out
however, that this did not mean actua
exemptions as the indicated figures
include all married men and those il
executive, judicial or legislative of
fees. Until exemption regulation
have been promulgated it will be i'm
possible to say how many of these will
be included III those to be marked OF

Result Is Conclusive.
The one conclusive result of tn
registration that cannot be altered i
that millions of young Americans hav
put in their names, claiming no ex
emption and stating no reason for re
lease from war service.
