Teas for Red Cross.
An attractive custom that has been
prevalent in Canada since the out
break Of the war. and one that has
provided a pleasant means Of con-
tributing to the Red Cross. is the
holding Of informal teas or "at homes
where friends may assemble for a cup
Of tea and q brief visit. and leave a
bit Of silver which goe into q collec-
ers. In the last two and a half years
there have been few affairs given any
place in the dominion that have not

ton, some patriotic movement, and
the Red Cross, whose workings have
been valuable beyond measure in the
countries Of the allies, and more re-
most cases been the organization to
beneit. Women open their homes, moi
only to their friends. but to larger
groups Of people. who are, like all of
the Canadians. anxious and willing to
be doing some thing for the boys at
the front. and those who have return
ed from the battlefields desperately In
need Of help. and the funds resulting
from these home affairs have provid-
ed cheer and many comforts for the
soldier boys and their families.

Of jamestown, former pastor Of the

Governor Frazier an eighteen-page
certified affidavit" in which he
charges former Governor Hanna.

his pleas for justice and leaving
him in the hands of the Phillis-

1900 red-handed criminals" of
jamestown and vicinity whom the
divine believes to be interested in
the booze business and other things
nefarious. Among hideous abuses
which the reverend gentleman
claims to have been subjected to
are the removal of the hoops from
his rafnbarrels, the removal Of nuts
from his wagon wheels, the tamp-
ering with his harness, defacing his
barns and house. etc., etc.
DR.. Hews demands that his aff1da-
Wit be filed with the secretary of
state in order that it may take its
place with the vital records OF the
state. No official action has been
taken to date by the governor.

Glenfield, NJ. d. Mch. 8.-Mrs.
Alfred Hennings and her baby were
burned to death and Mr.. Henning
is in a critical condition as the re-
suit Of an attempt by Mr.. Henning
to start fire with gasoline: -
He used small amount the first
time and thinking that it was not
starting fast enough poured a sec
ond portion on the Goals, terrific
explosion following, which, in a
second, filled the house with flames.
Mr.. Henning rushed from the
house and in a minute returned for
his wife and baby who were yet in
their night clothes. Mrs. Hennings
was badly burned, but reached the
open and Mr.. Hennings followed
with the baby. Both were terribly
burned and the baby lived only
until the late afternoon while its

Farmer Lost
Family in Fire

Napoleon, N. D., March 8.-Mys-
terry surrounds the death by burn
ing of Mrs. VIM. Madeira and her
infant child at the farm home six
teen miles south of Napoleon.
Mr.. Madeira was away from
home at the time. The hired man
had gone to a neighborhood store,
not far distant, to purchase some
sugar. On his return he discover
ed the house to be in flames. A
neighbor saw the fire and hurried
to the scene. the two men reaching
there about the same time, but too
late as the house was a mass of
flames.
The second story of the house
was filled with fax. 1t is thought
by some that before Mrs. Madeira
discovered the house to be on fire
the floor of the second story gave
way. burying the victims. Others
believe the mother had been doing
chores outside when she noticed
the flames and rushed tim to save
her babe and was caught under the
flax as the floor broke Their
ashes were found in the debris.

Larsonite Is Fined
.. For Getting Drunk

VIM. Martin. a iaborer, who had
spent some months in the vicinity
of Larson working on farms in that
vicinity, and who it is alleged had
been in the habit of having regular
shipments of VIII skey consigned to
him at which times he would over
estimate his capacity and would
make things d:sagreeable for every
one in town, was taken in custody
last Friday night by Deputy Sher-
iff Mike Maher after he had tried
to clean out the pool hall and ter
ror;zed the more timid citizens Of
the village OF Larson. He was
brought to this city Saturday by
the deputy and was taken before
Justice John Schmidt. where he
entered a plea of guilty to the
charge OF being drunk and disord-
erly. and was punished by being
compelled to pay fine Of $500 and
costs. This is the first case Justice
Schmidt has had since he was elect
ed by the voters of Burke county,
and in spite of the fact that he had
no previous experience, we are told
he handled the case like an old
timer, and very much to the salts
faction of the states attorneys and
sheriff's Offices.

Man S Liquor

Dickinson. N. D., Mch. 8.-Joe
Kuntz and wife. who live on the
south side, were in Judge Folson's
court on complaint of another Joe
Kuntz. who lives southwest of the
city. It is alleged that the first
named man and wife appeared at
the freight house and signed up for
a shipment of liquor. Along came
the other Joe Kuntz and demand
ing his shipment and when he learn
ed that his namesake had possess
sion OF the goods complained to the
authorities. The arrest followed
and the parties held to the district
court under 5000 bonds which was
furnished, it having developed that
the Kuntz who signed for and OBJ
tanned possession of the shipment
did not have an order for ship
ment placed with any liquor house.
g This is the first case of this kind
to come up in this section of the
state under that particular part of
the stringent prohibition law.

Burke County Far
:: mers Join Hands

At a meeting held at the Royal
Theatre last Friday afternoon OF
the farmers in this section of the
county an organization was per-
fected under the new federal farm
loan act. and charter was applied
for. AS soon as this charter is re-
ccived another meeting will be held
at which time the final details of
the organization will be perfected:
The meeting here was in charge OF
Organizer E. c. Edwards. All the
necessary officers with the. .excep-
ton Of the board of appraisers were
elected. and are as follows: Chair
man. Jim Uglum; Directors, Ralph
Ingerson of Flaxton, r. E. Knowl-
ton. VIM. w. Quanbeck, Jim Uglum.
all of BOwbells, J. r. Jensen of Co.
teau. and O. J. Rykken of Woburn;
c. ]. Kopriva, secretary and treas
urer. The organization starts out
with a membership Of .18, though it
is expected that this will be largely
increased as soon as it ready for
business. The name of the organi-
zation will be the Burke County
National Farm Loan Association.
Applications are already on file for
$42.600. 1t is not known just how
soon money will be obtainable un-
der this new law, but Organizer Ed
wards was of the opinion that those
desiring money Immediately would
be able to- get it within 80 days.
Just what effect this system will
have on the loan companies of the
state is not known, but it is gener-
ally believed that the rates Of in
terest will be cut down materially
as soon as the system is put to work.
Already many of the loan compan-
les have cut down their rates and
are making several other conses-
sions in order to meet the new COM
petition. The farmer will be bene-
fitted by the new plan whether he
becomes a member of the organi-
cation or not.

ture in the refrigerator much lower
than it would be possible with ice,
it is much more sanitary, and costs
practically nothing to operate after
it is once installed. He also owns
the meat shop at Northgate and
will supply that place from this
city. He has not yet made arrange
ments for a Slaughter house, but
tends to purchase a. suitable piece
of land near the city and put up an

Why Printing Bills
Often Are Cut

The Tribune believes that many
of the voters will want an explana-
tfon why the bills of some Of the
newspapers for printing county
commissioners proceedings are be-
ing cut by the county board. 1t is
not because the newspapers file
bills for more than they are entitled
to by law. When a batch of pro-
ceedings is mailed out by the coun-
ty auditor and Is set in three diff
ferent offices under different condi-
tions the number of lines made is
very seldom the same, and the
newspaper can do nothing but put
in bill for the number of lines
printed. Some of the time one
newspaper gets more lines out OF a
certain batch, and sometimes an
other does. Each newspaper puts
in bill for the number of lines it
printed, and the county board. Of
course, does not feel justified In
paying three different amounts to
the three official papers for doing
the same work. In order to make
things right the county board has
decided to cut all bills to the level
of the lowest one presented. and
feels that under the circumstances
can do nothing else. A newspaper,
of course, would not file bill for
a smaller number of lines than
what was printed, and naturally If
the bill is higher than any of the
others it is cut to the level of the
lowest for the same work.
