|TOTTEN and MUIR
| NAMED.F0R: REGENCY

George A. Totten of Bowman and
Robert Muir of Sarles last Saturday
evening were commissioned by. Cover
nor Frazier members of the state
board of regents. It: is presumed
their appointment is to succeed Emil
Scow Of Bowman and J. A. Power of
Leonard, members whose terms ex-
pired July /, but who have held over,
contending their successors were not
legally appointed by the governor with
the approval and consent of the SEN
ate of the last assembly. The COM
missions as registered in the secre-
tary of state do not indicate the
period for which they are given.
They are made effective August 81.
Muir and Totten are members Of
the %quintette whose appointment the
governor recommended to the sen.
ate last winter. A third member of
this group already has been seated on
the board, Rev. C. E.. Vermilya OF
Valley City having taken the place
vacated by the resignation of Col.
Frank White Of the Second. Rev
Vermilya's original commission from
| Governor Frazier read for the 4unex:
pired term ending July l, 1919. Ihls
commission later was returned and
destroyed and Rev. Vermilya given a
new petition which dates from August
rs, 1917, but does not specify the date
upon which his term ends.
The state board of regents "a in
session Saturday at Fargo. Inquiries
at the governors office failed to re-
veal whether a demand for seats or
the board would be made at the Gate
City by Totten and Muir! Totten hac
been about the city for several days
but is absent. So faf as the COVER
nor's office seemed to know, he may
be in Tappen or Timbucto. No pro
! ceedings have been instituted in su'
preme court as yet. The presen;
board of regents in. defending oustel
proceedings instituted by the COVER
nor last spring endeavored to get {
ruling on the right, of the governor
to name as interim appointees sue
cessors to Scow and Power, but thu
court declined to go into this matter
The seating of Totten and Muir woult
give Governor Frazier the control o:

PAINT. ST0RF IS
DAMAGED BY FIRE

Thursday in the real room Of the
building occupied by Mininberg's
paint store, a,few doors south of the
Masonic Temple. Within two minutes
after the alarm was turned in the fire
department had a stream of water
playing on the fire and the blaze was
extinguished before a great deal Of
damage was done to the building.

mine, ETC., was c.badly damaged by
smoke and water aid will be about SO
per cent loss. The Mminbergs carried

RED CROSS SOCIETY
REPORTS FROM FRONT

The Red Cross War Council has re-
ceived the following report from Red
Cross headquarters in France:
"As an example of activities in be-
half of the civil population of France,
we have established a temporary
children's; shelter at Toul, a city in. a
section of the war zone recently bonn
barded by the enemy. .
"Gas bombs were being used by the
Germans and the inhabitants of the
nearby villages were obliged to wear
face masks to. escape asphyxiation.
This mode of protection, however, is
not feasible for children, and it was
found necessary to- send the children
away at once.
"The project Of the department
~telegraphed to a worker at Paris that
$50 children had been suddenly thrust
upon his hands and that he needed
immediate assistance.
"The next day eight workers left
the Red Cross headquarters, a doctor.
an experienced nurse, two auxiliary
nurses, a bacteriologist, an admins
trative director and two women, tt
take charge of the bedding, clothing
food, etc.
"They found that 81 of the children
were infants under year AMI the
remainder were sunder eight years
They were herded together in an ole
barracks, dirty, practically unfurn'
ished and with no sanitary appliances
Sick children were crowded in with
the we'll and skin disease and vermir
abounded.
"Within two days the children hac
been thoroughly cleaned and trans
ferred to a new and clean barracks
Medical care had been given arc
nurses secured for the babies, suitable
food provided and a classification o1
all the refugees made to prevent the
separation Of members of the same
family. The organization of an in
stitution for the care of these chill
dren has been worked out.
"The French government has pro
vided a new brick barracks of ter
buildings, situated on a hillside
mile from Toul, and will furnish coal
water, light, rough labor, beds ant
bedding, raitions and transportation
"The Red Cross is to direct thu
work of supplying DOCTORS, nurses ant
administrative officers, and Of install
ing sanitary. apparatus. Twelve
shower baths have already been Sc
up. Supplies are being provided fo1
recreation, education and the voca'
tional training of children.
"It is expected that four or fly
hundred more children will come IL
the near future, and the Red Gross
is planning to increase it's staff to cari
for this number. The children will b'
kept here as long as conditions remain
such that they cannot return to then
homes" "

Meals are not served at the club Guests are
expected to bring their own food, which they I'M
dOubtedly prefer to do in most instances But
the pantry contains shelves where lunch packages
may be checked. In the kitchenette is multiple
electric heater, where food and drink may be
warmed and hot and cold water faucets In the
lunchrOOm are dinner tables and chairs-wth
highchars Of course for the little ones. And the
condensation facilities offered at the club?
Well, surely nobody is in position really to ap-
preciate this convenience more than the farm peo-
pie. There is a matrOn in constant attendance.
The club has been Incorporated under the laws
of the state and the organization is selfperpetuat-
ing The trustees charged with the management
of the club the presidents of the three leading
banks OF Seymour Whoever happens to be pres
tdent OF either of these banks becomes one of the
trustees. The treasurer of the club is chosen
from among the three cashiers of these same
banks, preference being given to the cashier of the
bank having the largest surplus fund and undi-
'idtd profits at the last preceding report for the
year.
There fees or costs attached to club
membership. Any legal voter in the county who
is engaged in farming or who derives his SUD.
port wholly or partly from the farm is eligible to
membership. Anyone thus qualified may apply
for membership privileges at either of the trustee
banks. All one need do is to take enough interest
to ask for privileges; then he and his family may
participate in the club.
Because it was an untried OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
thing that hadn't been done before, and all that
the business men of Seymour probably wouldn't
have put up the money for establishing the club
and maintaining it perpetually if the matter had
been proposed to them. Now, if they were asked
to reimburse the donors fully and make provisions
for maintenance they'd Jointly jump at the prop

They know that it is drawing new farmer trade

the price of those handy little buzz-wagons comes

The secretary of the Seymour Commercial club
will tell yOu-for promoters have to put a squirt
of the poetic and liberal pinch of sentiment into
business talk-that the Farmers club is 'strik-
ingly progressive because IL is Il concrete express
sion of the ideal relationship which should exist
between every town and the farming community
adjacent"
And furthermore, he'll tell you ''t was certainly
a happy conception. fitting recognition of the
appreciation which the business men of Seymour
have for their farmer friends. that led the Blish

citizen of Columbus, O., has appeared on the
streets lately with an outfit for seeing the time
without removing his watch from his pocket. Great
surprise was at first created by what was con-
sdered extreme singularity of comfort and 1t took
good deal of explaining on his part to restore to
himself public confidence 1t seems, however that
the device is perfectly practicable as it has been
accepted by the patent office. Notwithstanding
most people will cling to the idea that man who
is too lazy to take out his watch to see the time
deserves on general principles to be shot and it
IS very unlikely that the new invention will worm
its way into popular favor.-Exchange.

REMARKABLE TREE SURGICAL OPERATION

Edward FOntaine, tree surgeon of Charlottes
vile, Va, has, according to Inland Farmer, COM
pleted the greatest surgical operation at
tempted anywhere, and this has been done for Mr..
John Armstrong Chaoner of Merrie Mills. The
tree is red oak and is possibly three hundred
years old. 1t is "a feet in circumference two feet
above the ground, with diameter of eight feet,
four inches in its widest part. The cement filling
was carried up the tree 33 feet from the surface
and q cement leg root was mbedded five feet
into the ground to support the tree in heavy winds
The material used was six wagonoads of sand, u
loads of field stone, % bags of cement IA iron
straps to REINFORCE the concrete Al eyebolts and
roll of galvanized wire. So far the operation has
been successful.

farmers around Seymour created the basis of his
fortune"
One of the Indiana colleges, which has an i'm
portant agriculture department, has shown much
interest in the Seymour enterprise. This school
sends out special trains and agents and ennis
sarieS and whatnOt all over Indiana In line with
its policy of making HOoserdom a paradise of
scientific farming, and these agents don't often
overlook the opportunity of telling about Sey-
mOur's Farmers club and what it is doing to
make the city and its rural customers real bust
ness associates.
The word is going farther, too. than the farth-
est reaches of Indiana Grange organizations,
commercial clubs and agricultural colleges here
and there all over the country are making in
Quires of Seymour about the club. So besides
making it easy for the rural neighbOr to enjoy
himself while trading there, Seymour is gather
yOnd computation.
What has been done in Seymour can be done
in any other agricultural community in the
United States. 1t isn't necessary that the club
should be a memorial to anybody; that 1t
should be monument to the generosity and pub
lie spirit of one or two men; nor that 1t should
he housed in specimen of classic architecture.
Four or six rooms would serve the purpose nicely,
If converted properly to club uses. These rooms
might be found in detached residence On
the second or third floor of a business block. The
expenses might be prOrated among the business
men, and the farmers themselves might pay
modest initiation fee and nominal dues. Where
there's will there's way-as the fellow said.
Anyhow, 1t sounds pretty poppy and up-tO-date,
doesn't it, to Overhear one farmer say to his
neighbOr on Saturday morning In town: "Well,
Ed let's run over to the club and have d talk?
