The big drive for the second Lib
erty Loan is on. The people of Stark,
Billings, Dunn and Golden Valley are
asked to loan the government
$260,000. This amount should be
forthcoming, but not without a strug-
gle. Crops have been short in this
section of the state and surplus money
is not as plentiful as usual. But we
must show our loyalty just the same.
Stand by Uncle Sam-let's subscribe
our share-let's over-subscribe.
w. L. Richards is the head of the
District Liberty Loan committee. He
is working hard for. the success of the
issue. But he must have YOUR help.
The Stark county committee consists
of L. R. Baird, Wilson Eyer, T. A.
Tollefson, J. G.. Sanders, A. Koste-
lecky and A. J. Osborn. This COM
mittee is doing it's duty. Now it is
up to YOU
If Germany should win this war, the
fate of your home would be the fate
of the homes Of Belgium. Buying q
Liberty Bond is one way to protect
your home. Invest today at any
bank. Your banker will gladly give
you all the credit you need if you are
unable to pay cash. You can pay in
installments, or you can pay in three
ers six months. Now. do. YOUR duty
as an American.

RELEASED ON.
$4,000 BAIL
MURDERER OF MA
THIAS WETZSTEIN GAINS
TEMPORARY LIBERTY
Trial to Come Up at Beach ir
Golden Valley District Court
at January Term

Adolph Lehman, confined in the
Stark county Jail since May goth, on
the charge Of numbering Matthias
Wetzstein at Richardton, has been re-
leased from custody pending his trial
in the district court Of Golden Valley
county, to which change of venue was
taken from the local court. Bail was
fixed in the sum of $4,000, the bonds
men being Paul Lehman, brother
Of the accused man, and George Babe
mann, a brother-in-law.
The order to admit Lehman to bail
was issued by Judge w. G. Crawford
last week, but the bonds were not ap-
proved by the clerk of court and
States attorney until Tuesday of this
week. The release of the accused was
obtained through the efforts of his
chief counsel, Leslie A. Simpson.
History of Case
Adolph Lehman, wealthy young
rancher residing northeast Of Richard
ton, shot and killed Matthias Wetzste1n
in an alleged fit Of fear and jealousy
on Sunday, May Goth. Immediately
following the shooting Lehman de-
clared that he had lived for several
mOHCHS Ill Qeduly lear OF WeCZSCeln,
who, he asserted had threatened to
"get" him at the first favorable op-
portunity. Trouble between the two
is said to have developed over a
woman, the wife of the murdered man,
who was at one time housekeeper for
Lehmann-a woman nearly a score
years older than either the slayer or
hic victim.
The shooting of Wetzstein took
place at the home of his mother-1n-
law, Mrs. Dora Darling, in the eastern
outskirts Of Richardton, shortly after
Wetzstein's arrival on No. 2 from
Dickinson, where he had been visiting
his wife who was ill at local hos
pital. Lehman, it is alleged, was at
the barn back Of the Darling house
when Wetzstein passed, and gave i'm
mediate chase with a revolver in his
hand, pursuing him into TIE house
where he finally fired the shot that
proved Wetzstein's death wound.
Wetzstein made statement of the
shooting before he died couple of
hours later.

EXTRA night SHIFT
ADDED TO DREDGING :.
CREW AT RESERVOIR


Work on the mammoth water reser-
voir of the Northern Pacific railway
on the Heart river, southwest of the
city, is being rushed. On Monday
orders were issued for double shift,
and from now until the completion of
the project the work of dam building
and excavations will go on day and
night.
The contractors estimated that the
work would have to continue through
out the winter, but owing to the
double shift and enlarged crew, it is
announced that all of the dams will
be completed and the reservoir exca-
waited before the first of the year. AS
a result the storage capacity of the
artificial lake will be enlarged from
1O0,00O,OO0 gallons to double that ca
pacity. n:

Scott Gore Did Not Ride Tin

Dispute

Reports given out last week to the
effect that Scott Gore, Marmarth
buckaroo, mastered Camp Crooks
famous outlaw horse, Tipperary, are
proven incorrect. At this writing the
tip still remains in Tipperary. Gore
went to Camp Crook on the date az
ranged with half of Marmarth at his
back: He took with him his own pet
double-rigged/ saddle. Tipperary's
owners and hackers insisted that he be
ridden with sinele-rig saddle. Gore
declared this not according to Hoyle
and refused to trust himself in a
strange seat. AS a result all bets
were called off, and there was no
bucking contest.

Pledge Week for II;
Conservation OF
Food Products

October 21st to 28th is food conser-
vation pledge week. Herbert Hoover,
u. S. Food Administrator, has worked
out a campaign whereby the aid Of
every housekeeper in the nation will
be solicited to solve the most vital
problem confronting the American
people today-the necessity of sup
plying our Allies with something TO
eat. This can be done if each family
will do it's utmost to conserve the
food of America. Professor E. F..
Ladd of Fargo has appointed Supt.
Pr. S. Berg, chairman of the Food Con-
servation work in Dickinson and has
forwarded to him pledge cards to
cover the entire city. Every patriotic
housewife will sign the pledge in
which she promises "to carry out the
directions and advice of the Food Ad-
ministrator in her home, insofar as
her circumstances will permit" The
first of next week about fifty high
school girls will make a house to
house canvass of the entire city, and
each housekeeper can show her 10y
atty by signing the food pledge, which
will read as follows:
TO THE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR:
I am glad to join you in the service
OF food conservation for our nation
and I hereby accept membership In
the United States Food Administra-
tion, pledging myself to carry out the
directions and advice of the Food Ad-
ministrator in my home, insofar as

Big Crop Next
Dunn County Pioneer Predicts
Bumper Crop for Next
Year

That the present year so closely re-
sembles 1891, which was followed by
North Dakota's greatest of bumper
crops, that a wonderful yield may be
predicted for 1918 is the belief of
John Gunwall, who has lived in Dunn
county 81 years and farms 1900 acres
of land. The fall of 1891, he recalls,
was extremely dry, and there was no
snow that winter. The following
summer, he declares, the average
yield in Stark county was As bushels
of wheat and 100 bushels of oats, re-
sulting from fine spring rains coming
after the seeding, which was done IN
dry dust. -E

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there Is much suf.
fering from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do well to
consider the method employed by the
English to combat this insidious dis
case. Everyone knows how damp the
English climate is and how dampness
affects those suffering from catarrh.
In England they treat catarrhal deaf
ness and head noises as constitu.
tional disease and use an internal REM
edy for 1t that is really very efticacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
have had their hearing restored by
this English treatment to such an ex.
tent that the tick of fatch was plain.
ly audible seven and eight inches away
from either ear.
Therefore, If you know someone who
Is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal
deafness or head noises, cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
may have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. The prescription can be
easily prepared at home for about
75c and is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 OF. Of
Parmit Double Strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home, and add to
1t Y pint of hot water and ounces
of graduated sugar; stir until dissolv-
ed. Take a tablespoonful four times
day.
Parmit is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the infiam.
nation and swelling in the Eustach.
ian Tubes, and thus to equalize the
air pressure on the drum, but to cor.
rect any excess of secretions in the
middle ear, and the results 1t gives
are usually remarkably quick and eff.
fective.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial. Holt Drug Co. can supply you.
