Generous Response is Asked

Company I of Wahpeton whose
membership comes from all over
the county and Company L of
Hankinson made up in the same
way, will soon depart for their
mobilizing quarters unknown. It
is an assured fact that the boys
will soon bid US all a fond fare
we'll. Some no doubt will never
return and in appreciation for the
loyalty displayed by our young
men in fighting for the freedom Of
the World, the last and only mark
OF respect we can offer is good
substantial "mess fund" as all
towns and cities thruout the
country have provided for the
boys they so dearly love. AS yet
no move in this direction has been
made to honor those boys whom
we claim as our own and realizing
that something must be done, the
Fair Association has decided to
come to the rescue and thru the
Young Ladies Auxiliary and
Home Guards campaign will be
inaugurated to sell season tickets
to the County Fair. This sale will
be conducted on a percentage basis
which will go to the respective
companies as to locality.
Every town will be called upon
to do their part and every farmer
will be seen that they too may have
an opportunity to help in this
great and important work.
A $5,000.00 sale of season tickets
is their aim, in which event 30 per
cent of this amount will go to aid
the boys in proportion to numbers
and locality selling the most
tickets.
Everybody will be going to the
fair this year and this will give
an opportunity to display your
loyalty in not only buying ONE
but a block of tickets from those
in charge. The stockholders of
the Association are especially cal
led upon to do all within their
power to make this commendable
undertaking huge success.

Meerschaum In Asia.

Meerschauln mining is an important
business in Asia Minor. Pits are first
dug, and as soon as vein of meer-
schaum is struck horizontal galleries
are laid out. These galleries are often
very long. and they vary in length
from 25 to $50 feet. The crude meer-
schaum. which is called hamtash, is
yellowish-white in color, and red
clay coat envelops it. The blocks are
sold on the spot at from S25 to $500
= CARLOAD, according to their quality.
They are then soft enough to cut with
a knife, but they are dried before be-
ing exported.

GAVE WORLD TRAINED NURSE
America Created What Is Declared to
Be One Of Proudest Triumphs Of
Modern Civilization.

One Of the proudest triumphs Of
present civilization is the trained
nurse. l refer to the real thing-coln-
petent, big-brained, merciful, fearless
under fire or in the operating room,
prompt to act in the efficiency of her
own knowledge and, withal, true
woman, endowed with character and
grace that qualify her to meet the best
mentally equipped men and women
on earth, writes julius Chambers In
the Brooklyn Eagle.
Florence Nightingale founded "the
Order Of Nursehood," but trained
nurses are an American creation. We
taught Europe the difference between
the amateur nurse, however sympa-
thetic, and the expert director of sick
room or hospital ward.
|, The trained nurse is an offspring Of
democracy.
The European aristocrat could not
realize that u skilled nurse stood on
the same plane with the physician
was often more valuable guide to re-
covery. The notion among men and
women in France and England able to
employ her was that the trained nurse
was merely Il superior order of serv-
ant.
Even a servant may be loved, but
her status is unchanged. But in
America this Snobbishness never ex-
listed. Her authority in the absence
Of the ministering physician is recog-
niZed as absolute. AS she sits ut the
bedside of suffering plutocrat or Of
IL president of the republic, she is his
equal.

WITHOUT AGITAT0RS
INDUSTRY FU0URISHES
Figures Show Big Increase In Wages
and Factories In Queens.

Wherever labor agitators are few,
there industry flourishes and workers
are prosperous. This is the lesson to
be cleaned from the remarkable indus
trial growth in the Borough of Queens,
New York City, as shown by the fig
ures recently compiled by the Bureau
of Census for the year 1914.
The figures record decided gain
not only in the number of new facto-
ries, capital invested in manufacture
ing, and the value of manufactured
products, but also in the sum total of
salaries and wages and the number of
salaried employees and wage earners
since the taking of the last census in
1909 From a percentage standpoint
the increase over the several items
was as follows:
Salaried employees, 627 per cent; sal
aries. sos per cent; wages. 50 per cent;
wage earners. 30.7 per cent; capital in
vested, 20 per cent; number Of facto-
ries, 26.G per cent; value of products,
S.S per cent.
While complete figures have not been
published as yet for all the cities and
States, still from the figures that are
now available it is evident that the
Borough of Queens for the year 1914
exceeded in the value of its manufac
tured products many States of the
Union, such as Vermont, Delaware
Oregon. Florida. and Wyoming; it eX-
ceeded. also, in this respect every city
in New York State. with the exception
of Buffalo In fact, there were not
more than fifteen or sixteen cities in
the United States which produced man
ufactured products greater in value
than those made in Queens for the
the year 1914.-InduStridI ConSerVa-
