mer TO the home of A. H.N Jopling,
and placed beside those Of his late
father, Massey Phillips, Monday even
ing. The floral design by members
of his company was the most massive
and beautiful ever seen on a similar
occasion in Selmer.
He leaves stricken mother and
sister, who relied on him solely for
comfort and support. We are cred-
bly, informed that he. was a most ex-
emplary young man; never was known
to take a drink and was free from
bad habits which are so common in a
wicked city like Cairo.
Funeral services were held at
Cairo, and song and prayer by Rev. j.
A. Houston at the grave.
A comrade of his company, with
his mother and sister, came with the
remains. Mrs. Mary Robinson. of
Chicago, a sister of Mrs. Phillips, ar
rived before the interment.
The friends of the family join us
in extending to the bereaved mother
and sister most heartfelt and sympa-
thetic coincidence.

The submarines in sinking
without warning three American
vessels Saturday, committed the
overt act which shows Germany
is on her last legs, and wants
history to record that it took the
world TO whip her. 1t is now war
or square back down. Wilson
and the people of the United
States cannot afford to show the
white feather. 1t is now up to
the government to arm every
vessel and sink everything Ger
man. There can be enough guns
brought to bear to destroy every
submarine on the seas,

Represent. tive Sipes wants to
know whether McNairy county
wants a county judge. If we
knew who would be elected we
could answer our part of the
question. A county judge who
would put in his time and talent
on the finances of the county and
be a head to the road WORKING
and bridge building, then very
good. If simply to draw the sal
ary and draw warrants, better
not have a county judge. We
have in the past had such county
judges, but possibly they were
not popular with the voter on
that account. We mean the first
sort.

The railroad strike is again up
and gone. 1t is enough to make
one disgusted to the point of
nausia to see the outrages of OIL
ganized labor holding up, first
the president and congress in
passing the Adamson law, and
now in holding up the supreme
court because they do not render
a decision on the constitutional
ty of the law. The country was
wrecked when Wilson for cleo
tioneering purposes pandefed to
the contemplate rabble. Fight
to a finish last August should
have been the course. It will
come to that sooneror later.

After peace a free German re-
public; a republican Russia; a
Jewish Palestine. The Jew will
come into his own. as the accurs-
ed Turk is driven to the wall
This war will end in great goo6
to humanity and is directed BY
the God who looks to all nations,
1t is the war predicted in the
Bible, many believe. The world
at large will be purified, through
this great sacrifice of blood and
treasure. The people for more
than a hundred years will be tax
ridden as no people ever were
before. But after all this sacri-
fee, a new humanity will people
the earth, and wars will be no
more, because the people will be
ruled by righteousness.

To the Public:

We have found that it was impossible for us to
get our stock reduced and moved to another loca-
tion in time for the Spring business, and SO have de-
cided to continue in business here until along in the
Summer at least.
We have gone into the market and taken out
lot of goods for which we had contracted several
months ago. And while Merchandise is high
everything is high-yet we can sell you the goods
we are now getting cheaper than we could re-buy
them today, for the reason that we bought these
things last Fall.
So long as we remain in business here we shall
appreciate liberal share of your business and shall
endeavor at all times to give you the best services,
fair treatment, and the best merchandise at the
lowest cash price possible.

Bismarck company, writing from
Camp Greene, Charlotte, n. c., have
the following to say of their expert.
ence:
60 I reached Camp Greene safe
and sound and enjoyed the trip very
much. All had a good time on the
journey. When we arrived we hauled
our baggage over to a place sup
posed to be for Co. |. After we had
a few loads unlOaded we found that
we were in the wrong place, and that
our captain, A. B. Welch, and our lieu
tenants had been taken away from
us. After we moved again, we be-
lOnged to the 161st ambulance com.
pany, under a new commander, which
made us feel very sorry and uneasy.
They were not satisfied with that, so
they transferred 40 more of us into
the 1G3rd ambulance company, which
smashed the Smashing Second in two
different ways. You will find here a
list of the 40 who were transferred:

brand, director OF IL" "a. :Au Of mar,
kets, today agreed "Nh the repre-
scntatives of the northwestern states
that under the federal grain lNspec-
ton law, all grain, no matter what
the grade, may be sold under sam
pie
The department agreed with the
northwest representatives that the
law made this possible and also went
on record as saying the department
had no objection to its being done.
The railroad commissioners OF the va
rious states, including Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana, were present. Congressman
George NJ. Young of North Dakota pre-
scented them to Mr.. Brand and made
the initial presentation of facts. The
next step is to take the proposed re-
form up with Julius Barnes at New
York at a. m, Saturday.
Grain inspectors from Minneapolis
have been sent for to appear at the
conference with Mr. Barnes. They
will bring samples of every kind of
grain coming into Minneapolis and
will explain how the selling PROPOSE
ton works out.
The northwestern commissioners
and Congressman Young will urge
that a change be made in the person
mel of the committee which has charge
of the grading at Minneapolis, de-
claring this committee is controlled
by the men who pay for the grain.
They will also ask that all grain be
sold by sample instead of grain below
grade No. 8, as now is the case, and
which the department Of agriculture
agreed to today.
They will approach the subject with
MIR. Barnes in the friendliest manner
and with no desire or intention of cri
ticism. They believe that when Mr.
Barnes understands the situation he
will readily agree with their conten-

ROOMS ARE WANTED
For Quarters North Dakota Edu.
Cational Association Needed

Already the demand for rooms
next week for the big teachers
convention, is assuming tremend-
Gus proportions, and the CONNER
ciaI club appeals to all residents
Of the city to list their spare
rooms with it, that the informa-
ticn bureau may direct transient5
thereto. While it will doubtless
cause Inconvenience in certain
instances, the citizenship of Bis
marck owes 1t to it's guests to suf.
fer these with pleasure rather
thar enbarraos visitors, says
Secretary kcnistcn.
There is every indication that
the City will be. called upon to
provide for the greatest crowd in
its history, and sleeping quarters
must be provided, for all cannot
be put in the same category as
the Sheridan man who wrote that
he would be here only three days
and therefore lwcu!dn't need q
bed.
All residents having a room
that can be spared during this
meeting Of the North Dakota Ed
ucationaI association should at
once list them with the CONNER
ciaI club, whose information bu-
reau will assist the reception CON-
m;ttee in the care Of the citys
guests.
The rate of one dollar per night
per person has been suggested
and this is certainly fair return
to landlords OF private houses.
Bismarck must not achieve the
reputation that other cities have
for taking monetary advantage of
guests.

rooms. And, do it now..
