Registered Stock

That stockTaising IS profitable in
North Dakota is beyond question. AS
an illustration of tho fact we cite an
account of sale at Powers Lake re-
ported to the Dakota farmer:
Hanks & Stone Sale
A. large crowd of Hereford cattle
breeders and admirers gathered at the
Hanks e. Stone farm near Powers
Lake, September 7, to attend the sec.
ond annual sale of this firm. The cat
tie were in good pasture condition and
should go out and make good wherev.
er they 60. This sale was the last of
the Hanks & Stone firm and the breed
ing business will be continued under
the name of J. E. Stone. There will
be some sons added to this firm before
many years as Mr. Stones boys are
keen stockmen and young George
knows every animal on the farm and
it's history.
Forty-two lots of registered cattle,
including about a dozen COWS with
calves at siGe were sold at the very
satisfactory average of $256. Sixty
lots of unregistered, but pure-bred cat
tie brought an average of $120.
The yearlings and calves in this
sale were sired by Royal Fairfax, a
son of old Perfection Fairfax and one
of the best young bulls in the state.
His calves were uniform and made a
very attractive offering. The bulk of
the cattle stay in the northwestern
part of North Dakota, although few
go to Montana, South Dakota and Sas-
katchewan

Congregadonalists Dedicate
Splendid New Pipe Organ

The exercises dedicating the splen-

church were held on Sunday at
o'clock. Dean Woodlands presided at
the organ, and proved himself mas

fully selected program, from the dain-
ty "Will o. the Wisp'' by Nevin
through to the splendid Grand Choeur
in A fat" by Faulkes' brought to his
audience the hitherto unknown beauty
richness and power of the organ. The
vested choir under the able direction
of Mr. Froysaa, rendered two anthems.
Mrs. Froysaa, Mrs. Craswell and Miss
Mcfarland were the soloists of the
evening, and we realized anew that we
of Valley City are indeed fortunate in
claiming for our own these gifted WON,
en- who so generously give Of their
time and their talent. Mrs. Paul e.
Featherstone, president of the auxil
iary Guild, in a. few well chosen words
presented the organ to the church.

followed the ceremony Of dedication;
and the program concluded with the
singing Of America the Beautiful"

Less often perhaps, does the wife of

one taken at the age of twenty years.
A third picture shows MI. and Mrs.

Farland is the winner of a special
prize of having kept young at the aGe
of ffty-three years. The article says
Mrs. McFarland's neighbors tell her
that she doesn't look day over
thirty. Her good health and your re-
tention she ascribes to a normal sensi-
BILE life, with plenty of work, play, and
every day happiness, and never a visit

Ben Olson Writes
From, Camp Greene

Dear Motber-We- got here fine and
any trip l ever took before in my life.
We got here Wednesday afternoon
about 3 so you can. see that we trav-
eled quite a long time. We got off the
train three times during the whole
journey. At one place in. Tennessee
they let us out for two hours and let US
go wherever we pleased. The name
of the town was Knoxville. My but
the scenery was fine through the
mountains in Tennessee and Ken
lucky. We went through % tunnels
inside of five hours so you can see
that it was pretty interesting. We
went from Valley City to Minneapolis
and then to Chicago. From Chicago
we went to Cincinnati, then through
the Blue Ridge mountains of Tenne-
see and Kentucky. We have got a
very nice camp, everything is clean
and modern. I am writing this letter
in the Y. NJ. c. A. building, and be-
lieve me us fellows appreciate what
the people back home are doing for
us. There are about 10000 men here
now and about 1000 coming in every
day. They say this is going to be cne
of the largest camps in the United
States. Well mother, don't worry
about me, because never felt better
in all my life, and l am sure l am
going to like it down here. l think /
will have to close for this time. Say
hello to dad, and write soon.
AS ever your loving son

will this regiment uniformly chosen
from the, population of that area. AL
; though many other men from there
are serving their country, they are
scattered throughout organizations Of
the regular army, national guard, ma
| rine corps and navy. IN localizing the
regiments%cf the national army, the
government has made It possible for
friends to be together and has given
each section it's IepI esentative. We
are yours. = Z,
For that reason we feel at liberty
/ to ask assistance in one of the difficult
ties of organization. It is one which,
once past, will not arise again, and
the request is made. with a full appre-
citation of the many calls you have al
ready met in connection with the pre-
paration of the nation for war
While the government furnishes ev-
erything soldier actually needs for
his welfare it does not furnish GER
tain articles about the barracks which
make him more comfortable, nor such
things as magazines, papers, phOnO-
graphs, checkers, boxing gloves, base
ball and football outfits and all sorts
of things which give the men clean
manly amusement.
Just now the government allows
41.97 cents per day to feed each sol
dier. While this is sufficient to give
him all the wholesome food necessary
to keep him in good condition ,physi-
cally, it will not provide any extras
such as ice cream, cake, jam, butter,
etc. -.
In old established regiments, such
things are bought from a company
fund. A company builds up such a.
fund from the operation of barber
shop, from it's share of the profits of
the regimental exchanged canteen or
receipts of the regimental band and
other sources One regiment, how
ever, has just been organized. Not only
does it lack the equipment accumulat-
eddy the older. ones but also at pres
ent it is without the source of in
come from which it may be provided.
Later the funds will get money
through the regular channels but%to
get them started, we can OnlyH'call on
the people back home. The care and
use Of these funds are provided for by
army regulations and the company
commanders are responsible for them.
They are audited monthly by the COM
pany council. quarterly and annually
by officers of higher command and in
spectors. =: ...

Since the Great advance of the mid
week, the British infantry has kept to
the trenches and shell craters, except
where forays were called for to re-
align the new front or counter-attacks
where necessary to hold back weak
German attempts to recapture lost ter

their activity, and day in and day out
great masses of steel have been blast

mapped fer capture when the new
drive is launched The Germans are
answering the British fire on various
sectors
Particularly heavy is the lombard

Langemarck to Zonnebeke, and espec-

where the wedge of the British has
been pushed in, almost within strik-

The army of the German crown
prince in Champagne again has en-
deavored to dent the French line, but
again has failed with considerable loss
esi in men killed or made prisoners.
The heavy artillery duet continues
along the eastern bank of the Meuse
river in the Verdun- sector.
Comparative quiet prevails on the
northern portion of the front in Rus
sia and along this line to Rumania. In
Rumanfa, however, the Russians in an
attack northwest of the town of Seretfl
captured a Teutonic allied position,
taking 767 men and several machine
guns Under heavy artillery fire the
Russians later we're compelled to evac-
uate the position, having previously re-
pulsed several enemy infantry counter
attacks.
Daily the Italians and Austrians are
engaged in battles for supremacy on
the slopes of Monte San Gabrielle in
the Gorilla sector. In the latest fight
the Italians captured enemy positions
on the northern slopes and also took
prisoners. On several other sectors
Of this theater, the Austrians have de-
livered attacks, but everywhere were
repulsed.

exceptional performers are those who

virtuoso with those of the scholarly
interpreter In this class of the all

And this is all the more to be appre.
ciated as the repertoire of the cello is
generally supposed to be limited and
especially adapted for mere yirtuose
exploitation A cello recital such az
given by Mr.. Van Vliet will thoroughly
convince any one as well Of the super
6ciality Of such a supposition.
A child of music, Mr.. Van Vliet> be-
gan his studies at six, learning several
instruments, but from the age of nine
specializing for cello work. His teach
ers were such men as Prof. Eberly OF
Rotterdam and Prof. MOssel Of Ans

Colonne, Mahley and Weingarthner
through his fruitful association with
Vliet is a man of versatile culture and

learn to know America and Americans
that caused him to realize a Iong-har
bored wish to come here. And he will
not depart before he has seen and
heard everything he wishes to, or be
fore he has been heard everywhere
OF a faultless, resourceful and brilliant
technique, Mr. Van Vliet possesses q
tone of phenomenal power and sweet
ness, while his pose in playing l.: a
rare combination of well-calculated
force and natural ease. His unfailins
purity OF intonaticn is marvel.

The people Of Barnes county, as a
! whole, are requested ITO DO their bit'
and add their mite for the comfort
and convenience of the boys of the Ma
tlonal Army at Camp Dodge, Iowa. Un-
der the direction and with the permis-
sion of the officers of the regular army
in charge of the Fort Dodge canton
ment steps have been taken to raise a
! Company Fund" or "Regimental
Fund" for each ore of the regiments
and companies in the camp.
The people Of North Dakota are ask
ed to help their boys in raising this
fund. -... 49,.
A great many of the loyal citizens
of the city of Valley City have given
quite freely, more than $3,0OO.OO in
raising fund, for those boys who are
classed more as valley City boys"
members Of Company G. and local
members of the Headquarters com
pany, and now others, representative
of all parts Of the county, are looking
to contribute for the benefit of those
boys distributed throughout the coun-
ty who have answered the call to the
cOlors.
The request to help in raising this
fund comes directly from Colonel c.
b. Hawkins, commanding the 352nd
Inf, the regiment in which the boys
of 10 counties of eastern North Dako-
ia and 81 counties Of northern Mime
sofa are mostly enrolled. Colonel
Hawkins has submitted a statement
and appeal prepared by the Company
Funds Committee Of the 352nd Inf and
approved by him, copy of which is
printed below. - ...
For each Of the counties from which
men of the 352nd regiment come,
treasurer has been appointed to re:
ceive the funds. The treasurer for
Barnes county is JOHN TRACY of the
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF VAL
LEY CITY, who has agreed to take
care Of this fund to the best of his
ability and remit proceeds, for the
good cause contemplated
IN NO OTHER WAY can those who
desire to contribute to the comfort of
the boys in camp obtain such good re-
suits and direct benefits for those who
have left home and friends with the
avowed purpose of doing their bit"
for their country, at a sacrifice that
cannot be counted in dollars anG.sscents.
Those who remain home should divide
a share of their profits and enjoyment

To the Farmers of Barnes County:
Many complaints have come to us

we advise you not to make settlement
unless you get the amount for which
you are insured, less crop received.
The return of the premium notes and

you write us inquiring about such
companies before you make settle
