Western Union Offers
Novel Business Getter

A proof that efficiency of service is
deemed by large business concerns to
be valuable in attracting patronage is
shown in the latest idea of the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Company.
In addition to transmitting and de-
livering messages the company is
supplying it's customers with appro-
nriately worded forms for set occa-
sions.
Frequently persons wishing to send
a telegram of congratulation or of
sympathy are troubled about the
wording of the message. Often the
telegraph managers are appealed to
for suggestions, and the Western
Union Telegraph Company, observing
this, has realized that the prepara-
4ion of collection of suggested forms
for such messages would fill real
want. It has therefore issued an at
tractive 24-page booklet containing
suggestions for the wording of tele-
Grams appropriate to New Years
Day, Easter, Thanksgiving Day.
Christmas, bithdays, weddings, and
new arrivals via the stork route, mes
sages of coincidence, and congratu-
latory messages to school or college
graduates and to public men. They
are intended as suggestions only, and
may be changed and modified accord
ing to individual taste and ext
gencies.

federal service The departure ui
this regiment disposed Of the last OF
the 10000 state troops sent home
under recent order of the war de-
partment.
kilograms from Captain Evans and
other members Of Company E to
relatives in Williston confirm the
press reports that the regiment is at
last actually homeward bound.
From information received in let
ters to people in this city, the indi-
cations are that the regiment will not
be detained long at the Minnesota
post as large amount of prelimin-
arv work to mastering out of the
federal service has been gone through
with. Physical examinations have
largely been completed and practically
all that remains to be done is the
fo"n1alities of mastering out.
The regiment should reach Ft
Smelling hv SATURDAY. and be muster
ed out within a week.

North Dakota's Soldier Boys Will Reach Home
About February LIST

When Our Boy Gets Back f..
They'll cheer him and feast him,
And hero him awhile;
On every door "welcome" sign;---
On every face smile;
But when the shouting's over
The last car left the track;
Will some good job be there for him,
When our boy gets back?
THEY'LL give him cakes and kisses,
And flowers sweet and fair;
And every thundrous sneaking gun
Will boom "Old Glory" there;
But when the echoes al have died.
And dainty ;ov-fo> ds slack;
Will roen1'res answer for "snuare meals"
When our boy gets back?
Thev1l talk to him of "dutv" and
Of how he "did his bit"
Of how the clothes of honored son
On him so proudly fit;
But when the talk-feast dies, and all
The cold winds bite his back;
Will there be welcome woolens near,
When our boy gets back?
Nix on free clothes, or handouts, or
A place to loaf all day;
But just a job to show that he
Can earn decent pay;
And with your cheers whistles 'toot"
On troop trains down the track
Hold tight that "good position" for
The soldier boy come back.
