WILLIAMS COUNTY MAKING BIG .
PROGRESS IN PUREBRED STOCK

of the heavy demand in times past
and also due to the fact that breeders
have sold very closely Of their sur
plus.
Realizing the advertising value to
the breed as whole and to them
selves, coupled with shortage Of feed
in some sections, several breeders
have decided to make drafts this fall
and offer them to the public. Several
of the county breeders associations
and the state livestock breeders as
sociations plan on sales this fall and
winter. The sales that have been con-
Quoted by these associations in the
past have been successful, although
mixed breeds were sold. With proper
inspection and elimination of inferior
animals from sales of this kind there
is no question but that they can be
made the means of not only clearing
up the small breeders surplus but also
enable beginners to secure their foun-
dation stock right at home.

ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE OF
ENGAGEMENT TO MISS ALICE
lone BORDEN

One of the most interesting social
affairs of the fall season was the an
nouncement party given Monday even
ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M.
J. Borden at which announcement was
made of the engagement of their
daughter, Alice lone, to Lieut.. Carl
Erickson of Company E.
About thirty young ladies attended
the affair. The home was draped in
the national colors interspersed with
insignia of autumn. The party osten-
sibly was for the purpose of teaching
the young ladies the work of knitting
fo rthe Red Cross and for some time
great fun was had with this diversion.
However just before luncheon a great
American flag which was draped
across one corner of the dining room
was removed and the secret develop
ed when one of the envelopes opened
that Alic lone Borden and
Lieut.. Carl Erickson would be wed be-
fore Company E leaves for camp.
The date of the wedding has not
yet been announced. Miss Borden
has been connected with the First
National bank of this city and is one
Of the popular young ladies of the
city. Mr.. Erickson was also at the
bank before being called to the colors
and the friends of both will wish
hem the best in life.

HAMPSHIRE SHEEP FOR
EXPERIMENTAL STATION
SUPT. RUZICKA SELECTS FOUN-
DATION FLOCK FROM KEN
TUCKY AND OHIO FLOCKS

Supt. Chas. H. Ruzicka, of the Will
Iiston Experiment Station, has just
returned from couple of weeks with
Prof. W. H. Peters, annual husband
man Of the North Dakota Expert
ment Station, in Kentucky and Ohio,
purchasing a foundation flock of
Hampshire sheep for the Williston
farm. Mr.. Ruzicka has been in
charge of several sheep feeding tests
in the past few years which have been
very successful and sees an oppor-
tunity in the northwestern part of
North Dakota for a place for a small
band of sheep on every farm where
the owners will give them the re-
quired attention. With alfalfa pro
duction pssible throughout this ter
ritory sheep feeding should follow
naturally and when farmers are able
to purchase breeding stock there will
no doubt be many flocks established.
Wool in the spring and lambs in the
fall, both at extremely high prices,
make this phase of stock raising very
attractive.
A small bunch of the sheep bought
arrived this week and Mr.. Ruzicka
expects from this start to have good
breeding stock at hand for all farm
ers who desire to start pure bred
flocks. It is believed that this fea-
ture will be an important one in the
development of many Of the farms Of
this section.

COME HERE WITH DRAFTED
MEN-REPORT PROMPTLY
KIT CAME HANDY

Dollar patriotism came to light
in WillistOn this week when one
of the drafted men reporting here
Tuesday night was forced to put
up his comfort kit as security for
room in local hotel.
The man had only few minutes
to catch the train when he left his
work Tuesday and had no oppor-
tunity to get check cashed.
When he came here he expected he
would be treated civilly but when
he applied for a room and stated
his predica ment the hotel keeper
exacted the comfort bag as secur-
ity.
The matter was reported to Sher-
iff StrOm and County Attorney
Owens and both went to the place
and after telling the inn keeper a
few things they handed over a dol
lar and secured the kit.
So you never can tell just how
much good the little comfort kits
are going to do the soldiers.

with scenes of "the last west" "the

graphic, and while the water colors
remind you instantly of Russell, and

have been seen and have been appre-

WILL|ST0N SCHOOLS
HONOR new SOLDIER
ALBERT GUGGEDAHL OF CLASS
1917, FIRST w. H. S. STUDENT
CALLED TO COLOKS

Special assembly of the two high
schools was held on Tuesday in the
school auditorium in honor of Albert
Guggedahl, who goes to Ft. Dodge at
Des Moines, and other members of
the graduating class of last year. The
singing of the Star Spangled Banner
and the Williston High School song,
under the direction of Miss Cooper
was enthusiastic. The speakers for
the assembly were Miss Gill, Mr..
Clayton, Albert Guggedahl and Mr..
White. While Albert is disappointed
in not being able to enter college this
fall, he is apparently eager to respond
to his country's call and without ques-
tion will maintain an honorable stan
dard as representative of our school.
While our list of former students in
Co. E is large, Albert is the first rep
resentative in the newly organized
army. The high school is represented
in Co. E by Mr.. Vettel, former men,
Der of the faculty, Ben Craven, Ed
ward Craven, Walter Shikany, Will
lard >Sween, Howard Macdonald,
Cecil Jackson, Reginald Jaynes, Les
ter Jaynes, Ellis Slater. The school
is also represented in navy by Campell
Minckler who is attending the An
napolis Academy. Campell reports
very enthusiastically over his work
and his opportunities and urges that
others Of his school mates would try
for the same position.
Assembly of the two high schools
is always an interesting gathering.
The more than three hundred of our
pupils represent untold opportunities
of the future and many of them
seem fully aware, particularly dur
ing this war, of school value. It is
always understood that parents or
others interested in the assemblies or
in any phases Of the school work will
be most cordially welcome.

fensive play they are developing,
will cause the soldiers to hold we'll

Williston High School is going out
after the state title in foot ball this
fall. This was the unanimous deci'
sion of the faculty, coaches and
prospective candidates following the
selection of about twenty five men by
coach j. P. Cutting at the first prac-
tice Saturday evening.
r. With two complete teams working,
Coach Cutting will have better op-
portunity than ever before to direct
a foot ball team in local High School,
and with this an assured fact, he is 60
ing ahead to demonstrate to the en-.
thusiasts that no school in the state
has better material than Williston.
Faculty members who are interested
in athletics headed by Superintendent
White, are taking great interest in the
foot ball plans for this season and
Williston is going to loom big on the
gridiron this fall.
Superintendent White has promised
Williston fans that if at all possible,
Williston will face both Grand Forks
and Fargo within the next two sea
sons, and it is hoped that each of these
;eams will be played before the 1917
curtain is rung down.
The plan now in mind is to bring

High School Boys Out
For State Gridiron Title

Fargo here one year and play Grand
Forks on their field, and the next year
t. make the trip to Fargo and play
! the Forks team here. While this will
entail considerable expense, season
ed High School team will justify it
and put Williston on the map in foot
ball in no uncertain way.
The first game of the season was
played last Friday afternoon against
the Alumni team and resulted in VIC
tory for the school by a narrow mar
gin of nine to seven.
The High School boys showed great
work for the few evenings practice.
The Alumni scored a touch down in
the third quarter and kicked goal
making final score of nine to seven.
The high school team drew first
blood in the opening contest scoring
on safety in the first few minutes of
play. The Alumni touchdown then
put the high school lads in the hole
but with one minute of play Ike
Bruegger nabbed a pass and in seven
straight plays the students took the
pigskin over the line. Jaynes car
ried the ball in six out of seven of
the plays.

HONOLULU, Hawaiian Islands,
Oct 30.-The first American made
prisoner by the Germans to escape
and return to America is Capt. Ha1vor
Smith of the fourmasted schooner r.
c. S1ade, captured June II by the Ger
man raider Seeadler in the South Pa
cffic. The Seeadler after sinking two
more American ships, the Manila and
the A. B. Johnson, in the South Pa
cific, finally anchored off Mopeha Isl
and. a small coral ato1l, to give her
men shore liberty.
September the Seeadler was
washed on the reef during a storm and
so badly damaged she had to be aban-
doned. Later the Germans putting
forth in a motor launch armed with
machine guns captured the Lutece. a
small coastwise schooner. and sailed
away from Mopeha, leaving Captain
Smith and twenty-eight other whites
and eighteen natives marooned.
Some days later an old lifeboat was
found and repaired and Captain Smith
and two sailors put forth to reach
land. Ten days later after sailing l.
600 miles In twenty-two-foot boat
they reached Samoa and there gave
the first definite report Of a German
raider in the Pacific.
