PROMINENT YOUNG
DICKINSON COUPLE
Wed IN MONTANA

The marriage of Miss Florcnc.
Davis, one Of Dickinson's most highly
esteemed young ladies, to Oscar +
Boyer, also well and favorably known
here, took place at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Utermohle at Big Timber
Mont, at o'clock last Thursday
November 1st.
The ceremony, witnessed by a fe"
Intimate friends, was performed by
Rev. Amcs, the resident Congrega
tional ministers at Big Timber.
Immediately following the cere-
mobile to the ranch home of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. D. Bradshaw, Is miles south
Of Big Timber, where a delicious sup
per was served by Mrs. Bradshaw
with the assistance Of her daughtcr
Mrs. Utermohle.
Mr. and Mrs. Boyer left Big Timber
on Friday for Casper, Wyo., theil
future home.
The bride, the elder daughter of Dl.
and Mrs. H. A. Davis, has resided
here since early youth. When just a
little girl, she showed marked tai
cnt for music, and developed into one
of the most accomplished pianists on
the Missouri Slope. She conducted a
large class Of advanced piano pupils
until she left Dickinson a short time
ago. She is a dependable and cap
able young woman, having managed
her fathers farm successfully for a!
most a year. She was great com
fort to her parents at home and was
her fathers right hand at the office.
She has a happy, accommodating dis
position, being always ready to render
a kindness, and has made friend of
every one who knows her.
Mr.. Boyer had made Dickinson his
home for the past four years, coming
here from Wisconsin. He has gained
through his connection, first with the
j. G. F. Parker store, and later with
the j. P. Berringer meat market,
many sincere friends.
The newly weds have the best
wishes of their many loyal and warm
friends, who, although regretting the
young couples departure, still wish
them all success in their new location.

FORMER DICKINSONIAN
HEARS TALK BY GERARD

Miss C. L. Wells of this city is just
in receipt of the last issue of the
Kerkhoven Banner of Kerkhoven,
Minn., which contains a communica
ton from her son, Amos P. Wells,
who was formerly on the Banner
staff and is now with Co. H, 18th Inf,
stationed at San Francisco. Amos
writes that the boys were addressed
recently by former Ambassador to
Germany, Mr.. Gerard, who dealt at
some length on the efficacy Of the
Liberty Bond. When he mad finished
his address, he invited questions from
any Of the 5000 men who heard him.
In reply to some Of the questions, Mr..
Gerard said that the war could last
two years yet on the material that
Germany still has left, that conditions
in that country are normal and that
there is no possibility Of an eruption
there. Germany's mines, said the
former Ambassador, which have been
putting out about 60 per cent, are
now turning out 200 per cent. The
amount of prisoners on both sides is
about the same, said he, with possibly
a few more to the credit of the
Allies. Amos reports that the SOL
diers there bought 100000 worth OF
bonds for which they are paying at
the rate Of 5, 10 and Is per cent Of
the amount Of the bond each month.
He is very fond Of drills and prefers
them to the orderly room where he
some times works. Those two fam
Gus comic screen favorites, Kobb and
Dill, really live out west and are oc-
casional visitors to the camp.

He's Just Tluenty
Giant in Town This Week is
More Than Seven Feet High
and Can't Get a Wife

The high cost of living must surely
set heavy load upon R. E. Madison,
who was here Monday and Tuesday
advertising the war film, "With the
Boys in France" which was shown at
the Ray theatre Tuesday. MADISON
IS seven feet six inches tall, weighs
l96 pounds and says he is twenty
years old. Single? Yes, decidedly
says Mr. MADISON, principally be
cause women refuse to look up to a
man and thus his chances are some
what attenuated. He hailed from
Nebraska and comes from a. family
Of giants. His father measures six
feet two inches in height while his
mothers head just brushes the rule
beam at five feet six inches. Two
sisters are each six feet tall R. E.
says he was raised a pet and he
claims a fondness for peanuts. Loves
to dance, too, but experiences con-
siderable difficulty in finding girls
with sufficient savoir faire to get out
on the floor with this gargantuan
specimen. MADISON is a good draw
ing card as ballyhoo artist owing to
his unusual length. He wears a num-
ger ten shoe, a sixteen collar, meas
ures thirty eight inches about the
mldrltf. He appeared upon the
streets in Uncle Sam character.
MADISON visited the Farmers dance
At the armory Monday night and de-
llghted those present by dancing with
MISS Verlie Lyle. The little lady's
dlmlnutive stature was quite a con
trast to the antipodean length of the
giant. A. j. Osborn took several pic
lures of the big fellow.

STILL AT CAMP GREENE

Despite many rumors as to the
whereabouts Of our 164th, First North
Dakota, and the machine gun battal-
ions, they are still at Camp Greene
Some of the 41st division, Of which
they are a part, was recently moved
to Mineola, l.. l., but our boys remain
at Charlotte for the present. 1t i:
thought probable, though no definite
information on the subject can be
obtained, that the boys will be trans
ferred within few days. It may te
to some nf th taens tha'
to a lack Of transportation facilities
Seven trains would be required tc
transport the soldiers from the camp
There is a likelihood, in view of the
recent Italian reverses, that our boy:
may be sent into Italy instead of tc
France.

TO OPEN BUSINESS
COLLEGE HERE

G. M. Langum, president of the Bis
marck Business College, with large
departments of the school in Detroit
and Minneapolis, was in the city Sat
urday seeking location for business
college here: Mr.. Langum, in CONVEX
sation with Press representa- tive
said that the field appeared prolific
and that, if he could secure a building.
a school would be started at once
II will open the school," said Mr.,
Langum, "if the location is forth
coming and thirty prospective stud
ents can be secured. Later, we could
enlarge as the attendance demanded"
If anyone in Dickinson has building
that will meet Mf. Langum's require
ments, they should get in touch with
him at Bismarck. 49,. p.
Mr.. Langum is one of the fore
most commercial educators in this
northwest and the large number of
students who have left his colleges to
go into mercantile establishments, is
proof of the schools capability for
student handling.

are the horses which the Government
purchases, it j. estimated that about

at over two years, therefore the Gov
crnnlrnt wants good horses only. AL
though the Government is not paving
unusually big prices, it is thought
that better averages may be obtained
by dealing direct with them. Private
spectators arc cndcavoring to corral
the horses in this part Of the country
and those owning stock, good stock,
should submit their specimens at the

that much larger number will be on

spent between $500 and $500 out Of

efforts that the Government sent men
into this territory to take up horses.

NO MEAT SERVED AT
LOCAL HOTELS AND
CAFES ON TUESDAY

A general observance of "meatless
day" was apparent Tuesday. Meat
orders, according to local butchers,
dropped to some extent on Monday
afternoon and Tuesday there were
few calls. The hotels made provision
to handle their patronage without
meats and no complaints were regis
tered. A party Of five entered the
Willard hotel Tuesday and ordered
steak for their dinner. The chef
rushed to the front office for instruc-
tons. The guests were reminded
that Tuesday was mcatless day and
that no provision had been made for
serving meat; however, if the guests
desired it, meat would be served.
The party refused the privilege when
they learned that no meat was on
the menu. Local caterers report bust
ness about the same as usual, except
the st. Charles, which shows a slight
increase in patronage on Tuesday.
They do not hold that the absence of
meat on that day was responsible.
The st. Charles menu on Tuesday
named minced and fried chicken,
mackcral, pike, salmon and haddie for
breakfast; luncheon consisted of sal
mon, mackeral, spaghetti, baked
beans, noodles and roast chicken; din
ner was very comprehensive and en-
braced crabs, oysters, mackcral, had
die, trout, pike, goose, chicken, rare
bit, eggs, lobster, sardines. The Viii
lard offered as substitute at break
fast mackeral, Goldfish, eggs; dinner
offered mackerel, salmon, eggs,
goose, chicken, calf's liver, calf's
heart, hash, macaroni and omelettes.
The Grill, during the day, served sal
mon, white fish, fish cakes, turkey,
goose, duck, oysters, SQUAD, pot salad,
eggs, spaghetti. The Cafeteria sub
stituted poultry and cod fish balls for
its meat regulars

BRUCE AMSBARY
GIVES READINGS
RILEY'S WORKS

Wallace Bruce Amsbary, poet and
impersonator, delighted large crowd
at the high school building Monday
night in a series of tales and read
ings, from the works of James Whit
comb Riley and himself. This was the
first number on the lyceum course ar"
ranged by the high school and, if sue
ceeding numbers are Of equal merit
with the one Of Monday night, an ac-
ceptable bill for the season is as
sured.
An engaging speaker, Mr.. Ans
barry showed a thorough familiarity
with the subjects handled. For many
years, the lecturer was warm friend
Of Riley and learned the Hoosier
poet as few know him. With delicate
shadings, he rendered several of
Riley's popular rhymes and the dia-
lectics was Of that rare honey nature
that touches deep into the heart. The
lecturer told of Riley's early life, how
he hustled locals for the home paper,
painted signs, did odd jobs about the
town and how, finally submitting g
manuscript to an Indianapolis paper,

the strength of a talent unknown, un-
developed. Even his initial efforts
were given in the Hoosier style. Riley
was a pioneer in David Graysonism
and was the favorite poet of the chill
dren.
Mr.. Amsbary gave several read
ings from his own works, neat little
human touches in the French Cana :
dian vernacular Of which he is a
master. Like Tom Daily, the "Dago
man." Amsbary goes back beyond
mere words and exudes the spirit of
the subject.
Rev. J. G. Duling preceded the lee
turer with a few remarks touching
upon Y. M. C. A. work and Mr.. Asm-
barry enlarged upon the subject in
his opening remarks. He was intro
duced by Miss Hilda Peterson.
The next number on the course will
be concert company Of unusual merit
and is billed for December 6.

FARMER, DANCE AT
ARMORY GOES Big

The Farmers Cooperative Union
armory Monday night. So great was
the crowd that all who were present
could not get on the floor at the
same time. In addition to the large
number Of country folks who attended,
a wide scattering Of city people pa
tronized the festival. What added to
the success Of the occasion was the
Gladstonc-Lefor band which furnished
delightful music for the dancers.
This band is considered one of the
best in the state. Under the direction
Of Captain John Lefor, Jr., who plays
a cornet in a Levy-like manner, the
following form the band: John Strick-
er, cornet; John A. Lob, clarinet;
Nick A. Lefor, clarinet; Peter Rolling,
clarinet; Joe Kaufman, alto; Mot
Lemsing, alto; John Reiner, Jr,
bass; John Reiner, Sr., bass; Dominick
Lefor, baritone.
The dance, which began shortly
after 8 o'clock, continued until an
early hour Tuesday morning. Auto
mobiles lined the street along the
armory. An excellent little lunch was
served during the evening.
George N. Remission Of Bismarck
delivered a strong address touching
upon the Y. M. C. A. War Work and
met hearty response.
The dance was the first Of series
of annual entertainments which will
be given by the farmers in this sec
tion. Judging by the success of the
initial effort it is safe venture that
succeeding dances by this organiza-
tion will be popular throughout the
county.

PIONEER DICKINSON
RESIDENT IS DEAD

In the death of Mrs. J. P. Tingle at
8 o'clock Monday evening, Dick
inson lost an early pioneer resident
loved and respected by the entire
community. The end came after
three weeks Of suffering at St.
Joseph's hospital, and at an all to
gether unexpected moment. Friends
who went up to see her that day.
state that she seemed to be feeling
better than she had for a long time
and plans were being made to bring
her home in day or two, where she
could recuperate under the care of
a special nurse. Walking over to the
window, in compliance with her re-
quest, to see whether it was open, Mr.
Jingle heard her call him and on
reaching the bedside found that she
had gently slipped away. The end
came peacefully with no pain.
Sarah Ada Jenkins was born
February 27, 1859, at Ripley, Ohio
She was married to John Perry
Tingle 81 years ago, July 13, 1880
at Cincinnati, where they resided fol
three years. Preceding their removal
to Dickinson, they made their home
for two years at Cambridge, Ohio.
Mr.. Tingle came here in the early
spring of 1885 to take a position with
his uncle, j. T. Scott, on the Dickin
son Press. His wife followed in Sep
tember. They built the house now oc-
cupied by j. l.. Hughes in the eastern
part Of the city. This was thei1
home until some 16 years ago when
they erected their spacious residence
on Fourth Avenue West.
Some ten or twelve years ago Mrs
Tingle's health began to fail. 1t was
thought it might be necessary for her
to spend winter in Arizona. How
ever, she decided to remain at home.
But shortly after, it was found that
she had to undergo serious opera
tion here. While in the hospital her
only sister died in the east. Her
mother joined her here soon after, but
the aged lady's health broke down anu
she passed away the following spring,
leaving Mrs. Tingle the last Of her
family. No children survive her, an
only child having lived only a few
hours.
Mrs. Tingle had never been well
since her operation, various compli-
cations having set in. She bore her
burden with remarkable patience
throughout the years. Seven weeks
ago she became so i'll that she took
to her bed, and four weeks later was
removed to the hospital.
Mrs. Tingle was a member of the
Episcopal church and for many years
as her health permitted, was active

Two GOOD FEATURES
AT THE RAY NEXT WEEK

Manager Davis, of the Ray theatre,
is giving us some good shows these
days. The Royal Hawaiians Monday
and the special war reels Tuesday
were of an unusually good character.
Next Monday and Tuesday, Mana
ger Davis will present that funny fel-
low, Douglas Fairbanks, in a western
comedy. Fairbanks assumes the part
of an easterner who seeks the west
with the idea that life there is as it
is pictured in the penny-thrillers. At
mosphere changes to his liking, how
ever, when Doug heads in. He makes
his own situations in manner thor
oughly Fairbankseque. The athletic
comedian is an universal screen favor
ite, owing principally to his mannish.
ness and that everlasting smile.
In these trying times Of National
stress, no attraction Of the theatre
can so satisfy and hearten as that OF
D. W. Griffith's ''The Birth of Ma
tion," that mighty drama of American
struggle, Of American dis-union-then
Of American reunion and final re-
birth.
MI. Griffith's eternal production was
a revelation when it first burst forth
upon exacting New York and the
other great centres Of the country;
later it was the attraction par ex-
cellence Of the theatrical world-now
it is universally proclaimed the drama
of the Union-the spirit of these as
well as Of the trying times gone by.
Lincoln's words and Lincoln's in
fuence live today, as perhaps, never
have they lived beforehand Lincoln S
is, the guiding hand-the all-pervad-
ing spirit-of the Birth of a Nation,
the Nations play. .....
This wonderful production appears
at the Ray theatre on Thursday, No
vember 18th, matinee and night, and
to say that it will not be greeted by
overfowing audiences in Dickinson,
is to say that Americans have forgot
ten their nationality. Seats on sale

LOST HIS LICENSE TAG

John Marks of Lefor drove into
town Wednesday morning with his
family in car belonging to Charles
Stein of that place and as the car
pulled up in front of the Dakota Ma
tional Bank, it bumped rather solidly
into the car of Maxwell Burnett which
was standing in front of the bank.
The rear mud guard on Mr.. Burnett's
car was slightly dented. Though no
harm was done to the cars it was
noted by Officer Graf that the license
tag, which was supposed to be on the
back end of the car Marks was driv-
ing, was missing. For this he was
obliged to pay $1.28. The cars num-
ber is 4O936.
