BOOZE COSTING THE NATION
100000 TONS OF COAL

One of the largest coal operators
in the United States estimates that
drink is costing the country, at the
very minimum, 100000 tons of an
thracite annually. Other operators
of hundreds who have been queried
estimate loss of 20 per cent and rs
per cent in the mine output because
Of beer and whiskey. Almost with
cut exception, every mine located in
license territory is losing two days
after each payday, and many of them
are losing three days, twice month.
So serious has been the hangover re-
suit from paydays that some mines
have lost not only the equivalent Of
two or three days, but have actually
lost entire days at time. There is
also q very large loss from normal
drinking The saloons encourage the
miners to drink as long as they have
money.
Almost universal is the testimony
of coal operators that prohibition
even when it is confined to a small
upon tho work output
It is beyond the slightest doubt
that the concensus of opinion in min
ing circles holds prohibition for zone
of five miles around each mine abso-
lutely essential to the success of the
war. They want this, however. only

Iaruet Balloons.

In training aerial marksmen to shoot
straight the British government makes
use of small target balloons which are
manufactured In large quantities, says
the Scientific American. Double tar
get balloons are made in two sections,
so that when one section is punctured
by a successful shot from the gun of the
aerial apprentice the balloon remains
in the air, permitting second hit and
thus doubling the life of the target.

ST. PAUL'S TO

Merger With First Luth-
eran To Take Place
Monday Evening
WAS ORGANIZED ON
AUGUST 3, 1903
From Inauspicious Start,
Church Now Has Mem
bership OF ITO.

st. PATHS Lutheran church, which
will merge with the First Lutheran
church Monday evening, will fitting
" close its existence as a separate
church Sunday, by holding two re-
Prospective services. Both the morn
ing and evening services will be in
Norwegian.
The church was organized Aug. 8,
1908, at the home of @. J. Narum, 523
Eighth street north, by Rev. j. G.
Rugland, OF GAINESVILLE, MINI. The
records of the church show that
when Rev. e. A. Boyd, Rev. Mr.. Rug
lands successor, took charge Of the
church March %, 1904, the total
membership was only % souls. How
ever, those few members were not
DISCOURAGED, but with commendable
zeal and faith set about securing a
church building. In the spring Of
1905, the Swedish Lutheran congre-
cation fVd outgrown its church.
When theNefore their church was
offered for sale, the members Of st.
Paul secured it and moved it to its
present site, Fifth street and Sixth
avenue north. In the summer Of
1906 the church secured resident
pastor Rev. d. G.. Jacobsen taking
charge. He served until January,
1912, when the present PASTOR Rev.
c. Davick, came to Fargo.
Slow But Healthy Growth.
During its existence the church
has had slow. but healthy growth.
It is commendable trait of most
Lutheran church people that they
depend on themselves for the build
ing and maintenance of their chur-
ches. So the members of st. Paul's
church have contributed of their
often scanty means to the church
building and to the maintenance of
the work, knowing that they have in
that way contributed to the welfare
of themselves and the community at
large. r...r.<
The membership is at present 40
souls. The members look forward to
the union with the sister church
with the hope that, since in union
there is strength, the two may be
better able to minister to those
whose church home should be the
First Lutheran church of Fargo.

the North Dakota Sunday School as
ISOLATION has heard Mr.. Hobson. and
says that his is the most powerful
and impressive presentation OF the
subject that he has ever heard. The

quent, but hands out fact from the
very beginnings to the very close OF
his lecture in a most impreF sive way.

RED CROSS" TO Be
REV. EDWARDS THEME
minister Of Religion" of Christine
VIII Speak Sunday Before Sol
diers' Monument in Park.

Next Sunday afternoon at 8
o'clock, Rev. William Edwards Of
Christine, will deliver an emblematic
and historic sermon on the Red
Cross at the soldiers monument,
Island park.
People of every denomination are
cordially invited as the speaker will
present the heraldic value of the
Cross as expressed in over 200
forms of the crucifix.
Rev. Edwards viii also exhibit the
triangular values of the Cross and
show the pyramidial buildings Of the
Egyptians in the architecture of the
triangle, the only sign by which the
true Cross can be interpreted in
true history and life.
The speaker will draw attention
to the ancient Morse runic symbols
and make deductions therefrom
which should be pleasing to all
modern students of the value of en-
blematic, fraternal intercourse.
All literature Is life. The literature
Of the Cross is inspiring, profound
and acts as an accelerator to the
highest expression of benevolence
for the worlds needs in pain. in
sorrow and affliction.
Rev. william Edwards does not
play the dodger act to acquaint the
masses with his knowledge of inter-
national law on which he has studied
for years, but goes before the public
IN his everyday attire, speaking now
at the park, probably the next time
at q baseball gathering, next a
group of soldiers and sometimes a
gathering of travelling men.
His latest message was given In
what he calls a drawing room re-
ception," where q group was gath
cred. Several OF these unique recep-
tions have been held of late at which
Rev. Edwards was the speaker.
