Aged Hermit
Killed BY Gas

Hazen, N. D., Mch. 8.-Charles
Brown, a hermit known as "Stut-
tering Harry" aged SO, was as
phyxiated by coal gas at his home
stead shack eight miles south of
this city. Not having seen him
for several days, Patrick Moore, a
neighbor, went to the Brown home
and found him lying on the floor
dead. The stove had exploded
throwing burning Goals onto the
rough couch where Brown lay. His
clothes were burned in places.
County officials have taken charge
of his property, valued at consider
able, and today began to trace rel
atives in Ireland.

Consolidation Of
Schools Defeated

At the special school election
held in Clayton on Saturday Of las
week on the proposition of bonding
the district to build a consolidated
school 81 ballots were cast, and the
proposition was defeated by ten
votes. We learn that a number OF
the voters of the district worked
very hard for the proposition, and
a number of others worked just as
hard against it. The voters who
were In favor of It tell US that the
reason It was voted down was be-;
cause the maj jority did not fully
understand Just how IL would work:

1t was H. G. Olson of Bowbells
township that found an item in the
Saturday Blade that interested him
so much that he called the attention
Of his neighbors to it, and also
brought it to The Tribune Office.
The item tells of a couple at Rio
De Janeiro who are the proud par
ents Of forty-four children, which
have been arriving for twenty
years in. squads of two. three and
even four, and all are living and in
good health. The name of the
father of the children is Jacinto

ing that her husband, Franz Bre; ht.
wealthy farmer of the Glen Ullia

her time to get meals. Mrs. Maria
Rtecht appeared before Judge Han

Returns rom
- Western Trip

w. J. Hanson returned on Satur-
day morning of last week from
Ferndale, WASH, where he spent
about two months in visiting with
a brother. During his stay there
he visited at prat ally all the
principal cities in the state of Wash
ington, and tells us that he enjoyed
himself immensely. The scenery
through the Canadian rockies es-
pecially appealed to him on the
trip out there, and he liked it so
much that on the return trip he
travelled only during the days so
he could see everything. He stop
ped each evening at most any place
and got on the train again the next
morning. The state Of Washing
ton appealed to Mr.. Hanson as a
place to live when a person had
plenty of money, and did not care
to make any more. The climate
is almost perfect, and most any,
thing grows there. A majority Of
the people living there own six to
ten acres Of land and keep two or
more COWS and a number Of chick
ems. This makes them a living,
but nothing more. If they buy
this land ON contract, paying
only part down, it is impossible for
them in most cases to pay the bal
ante. A man with a ten acre patch
paid for can make a good living,
out cannot expect to get any ahead.
Mr.. Hanson always was an ambi-
tious cuss, and during his stay in
Burke county we believe he mads
more money out Of his grain and
live stock than any. other farmer
residing here and owning the same
size farm. He is not satisfied to
stand still, so there is no danger of
him ever going out west to live.

A FINE EXAMPLE

The class of 1917 of the Pullman
high school set a fine example OF
patriotism by deciding to use the
fund which had accumulated in the
class treasury during the past four
years in purchasing a fifty-dollar
Liberty bond, and presenting it to
the school The usual custom OF
graduating classes is to use all OF
their surplus money in holding a pie
mic or some kind of a jollification
The Pullman graduates showed a
commendable spirit of self-denial
and love OF country and school, which
is rather unusual in young people Of
their age.
No other gift could have such {
lasting and inspiring influence upor
present and future students in the
high school as this Liberty loan bono
which Will be a perpetual reminder
of the patriotism and loyalty of it,
donors. Pullman is proud that tn,
class of 1917 conceived the idea o
this patriotic action, and set an ex
ample which viii doubtless be com
mended and followed by many othe
schools in all parts of the country.

THE PATRIOTIC WEST

For nearly three years the news
papers and people of the east have
been clamoring for war and accusing
the citizens of the middle west and
west of lacking in patriotism because
they approved President Wilson 5
policy of watchfuI waiting and were
slow to anger and long suffering.
The eastern editors waXed hysterical
in their charges that the people who
did not want to rush into war were
TOO ease loving and too much EN-
crossed in the business OF making
money. to fight to defend their
country's honor.
But now that the show down has
come, the middle western and west
ern states are furnishing far more
recruits than the east. The people
of New York and New England were
long on fighting with words but are
proving very short in furnishing the
men to fight with guns. They were
anxious to have war declared, but
now seem equally anxious for some
one else to do the fighting The peo-
pie OF the west did not want war if it
could possibly be avoided, but now
that it has come they are showing
their metal by responding cheerfully
and Loyalty to the call to the colors.
While the war advocates of New
York are putting in their time pro
testing against war taxes on their in
comes, the men of the west are quiet
~ enlisting. The east demanded war
but it is not willing to foot its share
of the bill or to furnish its share OF
the men to do the fighting.
Reports of army enlistments up tC
May 7th showed Vermont at the foot
of the list of states with % recruits
and Delaware a close contestant fol-
the cellar position with but 81. New
York, with its enormous population
had produced less recruits than I'LL
nois or Pennsylvania, and Michigan
Texas, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Cali
fornia, Iowa and even Kansas, mucl

abiding place of pacifists. had fur

This is no time to stir up sectional
feeling, but it is but fair to give pub
licity to the convincing manner in
which the men of the west are refut-
ing the charge that, because they did
not swagger and buster and hunt
for trouble, they were lacking in
patriotism and bravery. Deeds
speak louder than words, and now
that the time for action has come
the west is being heard from, while
the east is talking in whispers.

FARM WORKERS
AGAINST TYPHOID FEVER

The State of Washington has fur
nished her full quota for all branches
OF the army. Our young men have
not waited to be conscripted but
have come forward in a manly and
heroic manner and offered their
services to their country.
In this worldwide war it is rea-
LIED that the battle must be fought
not only in the trenches but to an
equal extent in the harvest field. and
to the call for soldiers in the harvest
field our state has responded with
the same patriotic spirit. The boys
and girls of our schools, too young
TO enlist in the army, are offering
their services in the harvest field
battle. These soldiers in the harvest
field are entitled to and must re-
ceive the same protection from dis
ease that is furnished those who
enter the fighting ranks.
The first precaution taken with
all soldiers entering the army is to
render them immune, so far as pos
sible, against disease. Every soldier
is immunized against typhoid fever.
This point seems to have been over
looked with regard to the soldiers
we intend to send into the harvest
fields. To neglect this important
duty would result in a serious con
dition.
The water supplies of our cities
are constantly guarded and, as a
result, are the purest to be found in
any state in the Union. The water
supplies of our country districts are
very frequently, to say the least, con-
taminated, People who have been
in the habit of drinking pure water
are much more susceptible to water
borne diseases than are those who
have not been in the habit of using
pure waters. No boy or girl should
go into our harvest fields until he
or she has been immunfzed against
typhoid fever. Entering the harvest
army is a patriotic act. The i'm
munization of the soldier is per.
formed for a double purpose: LIST
to protect the soldier himself md
/ to render him more efficient A sick
soldier is not only of no use in the
army, but he is actually a detriment
to the army, and this applies just as
truly to the soldier in the harvest
field as to the soldier in the ranks.
We hereby warn everyone intend
ing TO enter the army ranks of harry
esters to be immunized against ty
phoid fever. We cannot urge this
on you too strongly ARRANGEMENTS
will be made whereby the physiciani
in the various localities will ad
