CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

A large congregation attended the
Memorial services at the Congrega-
tional church last Sunday. Four Of
the old veterans were out to the serv.
ice. Mr.. Crowl, Mr.. Harnden, Mr.
Folsom and Judge Sterland. The
pastor used for his text the words of
Hebrews 1892, "But call to remem
brance the former days." He stated
that the Civil war in which these men
took part was fought for a principle
and that the soldiers of both the
North and the South were brave
humane, and patriotic. He gave many
instances proving that statement. At
the close of the sermon Mr.. Orchard
who has had large experience in the
Y. M. G. A. work, presented the cause
of the army Y. M. C. A work. Cards
were distributed and a number of
pledges were received. Among them
being two pledges from two ladies
with the Cole Brothers circus. The
picnic dinner in honor of the young
folks who will be no more with our
Endeavor because Of their going from
US to their homes, was eaten out on
Green river. Between forty and fifty
were there. All report a good time.
Mr.. Orr acted as chaperon.
Next Sunday will be observed as
Children's day. All the children will
meet at the church as usual at 10
o'clock and march from there to the
armory, where the exercises are to
be held. An excellent program is in
preparation and it will be a treat to
all who attend. Come and enjoy the
children with us.

installed.
A polished floor is there for the de-
votees of the dance, and many social

and also two toilet rooms. A shower
bath is to be another welcome feature
of the clubhouse, and there is a
kitchen in the southwest part of the
building wherein wonderful and varied
concoctions will be created.

KILLDEER PLANS ROUSING
CELEBRATION ON JULY

Killdeer citizens are planning a
rousing celebration for July 4, and
committees in charge of the project
are leaving no stone unturned in an
effort to stage the biggest blowout
in the history of the hustling little
city. It is in reality a fve-day cele-
bration, as the Evening Star Chau-
tauqua has been booked for five days
there, June 30-July 4 inclusive.
A ball game will be the big fea-
ture the morning of the Fourth, Wer-
ner and Halliday, two of the fastest
clans in the state, clashing. In the
afternoon a roundup and general wild
west show will be staged. The Grassy
Butte delegation will be present, and
their worth in this line is too well
known to require mention. The Wer-
ner band has been engaged to spill
melody throughout the day and even
ing, and a crowd which will jam the
city to the roof is expected to be in
attendance.

MANY SIGNATURES FOR
DOCUMENT CIRCULATED
FOR SUNDAY BASEBALL

Considerably more than 100 sigma
lures were secured to the Sunday
baseball petition circulated in Dickin-
son during the past week. Workers
in the movement, interested in plac-
ing the diamond sport on a Gve-and-
let-live basis, are meeting with fair
degree Of success wherever the petit
tion is being circulated.
The old "blue law" goes out of ex-
istence on July l, and the new indigo
statute goes into effect. The latter
statute specifically mentions baseball
and forbids the charging of admission
to Sunday games. If the petition,
with the required number of signers,
is filed before July 1, it will automati-
cally suspend operations Of the new
"blue law" till the next general cleo
tion. Thomas Poole of Bismarck is
the prime mover in the interest of
the sport.
Signatures equal to 20 per cent of
the total vote Of the state must be
affixed to the document, and these
names must be taken from more than
one-half the counties Of the state,
necessitating circulation in 27 of the
81 counties.
Many of the leading citizens of this
city expressed their approval Of the
movement by affixing their sigma
lures.

on April 10. Mr.. Hager would have
completed his work more than a week
ago, but, owing to delay in getting
fireplace material, completion was de-
layed. He has constructed splendid
building, which will be a great addi-
tion to the beautiful structures of the
city.
Clubhouse which has been used
previously was only 16x40 and
members were forced to do without
many of the features of comfort which
are embodied in their new home.
Preparations have been completed
for the social function which will be
held to celebrate completion of the
clubhouse. A social dance will be
held, and program given in con-
nection. Classic dances will be in
terpreted by Miss Dorothy Stickney,
and several of her pupils, and num-
ber of vocal and instrumental selec-
tions given. Refreshments will be
served. The event will be for men,
bers exclusively.
Decision has also been reached to
hold dances each Thursday night dur
ing the summer at the clubhouse.

CLUB HOUSE READY
FOR OPENING BALL:
ACME OF COMFORT

Finishing touches are being made
on the fine new home of the Dickin-
son Town and Country club this week,
and all will be in readiness for the
festivities which will mark completion
of the building.
The new structure, a splendid one
story rustic building, represents an
outlay of more than $4,000. It is
built on the knoll at the entrance to
the grounds of the club, and COM
mands a fine view in all directions. 1t
will be the acme of comfort, being
fitted with every convenience, dance
hall, lounge room, locker rooms,
shower, and everything which the
tired golfer could wish for after a
strenuous afternoons battle with Old
Man Bogey. It is certain to be the
mecca of club members during the
heated season, when the mercury
mounts to the fever-heat point; the
fine screened porch on the north side
assuring them safe retreat when Old
Sol's rays begin to get in their work
in earnest.

CAR SHORTAGE IS
SERIOUS; WAR CONDITIONS
PREVENT SHIPPING

All materials used in the mining of
coal have advanced greatly in price;
miners are being paid higher wages;
railroads expect to be granted an in
crease in freight rates on coal from
mines to Lake Erie ports of not less
than 15c per ton; vessel owners are
this year obtaining Is cents to 40
cents per ton more for transporting
coal from Lake Erie to Duluth and
Superior. Moreover, the sale Of
Great Lakes vessels to the ocean
trade in spite of the greater need for
ships in which to load heavier output
of high-priced iron ore, is bound to
mean Shortage of bottoms in which
to transport coal to Head of the Lakes
for Northwestern trade, There is
very likely to be am increase in rail
freight rates on coal from the Head
of the Lakes to interior points
throughout the Northwest.
The dock companies are paying the
coal mining companies an average OF
$1.50 per ton more f. o. b. mines for
their coal than in past years; add 35c
per ton increase in freight rates on
coal via rail-and-water; add another
15c per ton increase in the cost OF
handling coal at the Head Of the Lakes
because of higher wages and increased
cost Of materials, etc., etc., and you
can readily see an actual increase IN
the cost Of the coal to the dock COM
panies of approximately $500 per ton,
none .of which increase represents
actual profit to them.
Not only are the stocks of coal at
the head Of the lakes cleaned up now,
in-.the face of an Unsuitable demand,
but the dock companies are apparently
in the. dilemma Of having difficulty
contracting to purchase sufficient coal
to renew these stocks at any price, in
order to fill orders and meet the vast
increase in the Northwest's demand.
They, as well as yourselves, are up
against the law of supply and demand
and are bidding high to get coal, rather
than let same 60 to the industries OF
the East, flushed with war prosperity
and willing to pay any price necessary
to secure their fuel requirements. i
AS stated above, these things con-
cern you intimately as dealer or
consumer. Devise some means OF
finding time, money and bin room to
stock. coal this spring and early sum
mer for present or later needs.
There is no likelihood Of a decline in
the price Of any coal before 1918; in
fact, indications point to a year-long
scramble for what coal is available,
with prices advancing in consequence
rather than declining.

this year!- Reprinted from the April
issue Of The Coal Dealer.

Public May Work Against Own Best
Interests-Must Buy Fuel Now if
Would Prevent Winter Shortage
Summer Delivery Only Assured.

With the exception of this and last
material reduction in the Circular"
this time last year instead of the u.s.
ual reduction, soft coal advanced; an
thracite did not decline the customary
SO cents per ton, but price remained
the same, advancing 10 cents per ton
per month thereafter until fall, when
the increased demand, together with
scarcity of available supplies brought
even higher prices. All grades of
soft coal carried on the docks at the
Head of the Lakes advanced April 1,
1916, followed in the fall by a con-
siderable further increase, especially
noticeable in the late fall, when the
trade generally became alarmed
through dissemination Of information
as to prevalent scarcity of both coal
and cars in which to load out coal
ordered for prompt shipment. Later
developments proved this compara-
lively early alarm beneficial to the
country consumer, for we have gone
through an exceptionally long and ex-
tremely severe winter, with an in
crease in the demand for domestic
coal of perhaps so per cent and for
steam coal of 100 per cent over at
least two preceding years:
However, April 1, 1917, shows the
docks at the Head of the Lakes
cleaned up to the last few tons for
the first time in years, or perhaps
in their history. Not only are pres
ent available supplies depleted, but
dealers, consumers and steam coal
users have also used up coal stock
they have had on hand. The demand
for both domestic and steam coal has
continued just as strong since March
18th as it has been at any time since
December 15th-s something never be-
fore known. There are still no signs
of relief for the extreme shortage of
cars. #a
All these facts bear direct relation
/ to both future price and the POSSIBLE
i ity of obtaining sufficient supply Of
h fuel in 1917. Shortage Of. railroad
{ equipment in the East is even more
pronounced than in the Northwest, so
the coal producing interests will be
I. unable to load as much coal consigned
7 to the lakes as in the past few Years,
! in spite of the fact the demand for
1 such fuel is certain to be vastly in
creased especially from steam plants,
who are enjoying heretofore unknown
prosperity.

WHICH STAR IN OUR FLAG
REPRESENTS N. DAKOTA?

How many people in North Dakota
know which star in the flag repre-
sents their state? It is safe to say
that very few do. When the last ex-
ecutive order concerning the flag was
made, on October 26, 1912, it provided
for specific arrangement of the stars.
They were to be arranged in six hori-
zontal rows Of eight stars each.
Starting at the upper left-hand corn
er, and placing each row from left to
right, the star corresponding to each
state is named in the order Of that
states ratification of the constitution.
North Dakota's star is No. 80.

There mayor there may not-be
as many different ways OF writing sto-
ries as there are, according TO KIphng,
of writing tribal lays, but there are
certainly two major methods, both Of
which are quite right; provided, OF
course, that you use them right. one
is, 10 make their characters themselves
tell the story; which is q dramatic and
artistic method, provided that you dor't
make them so voluble as to be
"preachy." The other is, to tell about
them yourself; which is the true mar
rative style, provided that you don't
make il monotonous and commonplace.
Our greatest contemporary example Of
this latter subjective style Is, OF course,
Kipling; but there are others, and
among them we are inclined 10 give
high rank 70 Mrs. Dorothy Garfield
Fisher
For there never was q child's fairy
tale, beginning "Once upon time
there was" etc, more simple and direct
in narration than Understood Betsy"
Yet we should 90 far afeld before We
found book from any pen more free
from monotony or commonplace. From
first to last it simply throbs with
warm hearted human nature; ard
blithely ripples with irresistible humor;
and is instinct with practical wisdom
that the sagest philosopher might envy.
We have been wondering whether to
class it as a book for children or for
grown-ups, and have concluded that lt
is meant for both; indeed, for everT--
body. We cannot imagine normal
child that would not be delighted with
it; and we should profoundly pity tic
