BASKET BALL PROVES
TOO HARD ON GIRLS

Rochelle, Feb. 20.-The girls OF the
Rochelle high school basket ball team
probably had their last game last week
when by accident Miss Mable Settle
was struck by Miss Lois More, ref
cree, knocking out two of Miss Settles
front teeth.
On the same day Miss Cordie Fac
Rogers sustained a broken finger,
while few days previous Miss Estelle
Collins, another victim, had front
tooth knocked out.
1t is expected that the girls will ieth-
er sci their share of the basket ball
to the boys or adopt girls rules for
their gaems in the future.

BABY CLINIC AT
COUNTY FAIR
Arrangements, A Made For Again Hold.
ing Baby Contest in Connection
With Bottineau County Fair.

Attention is called to the announce
ment elsewhere of the Baby Clinic
which will be held in connection with
the Bottineau County Fair this year.
When this feature was announced
last year there were some misgivings
in the minds of it's promoters as to
whether or not it would be popular
with the people of Bottineau county,
being in the nature of an innovation
in this part of the state. But, on the
contrary, the clinic proved so extreme
ly popular that it was impossible to
take care of all the applicants. In
all sixty babies were examined and
scored.
The clinic will be under the super
vision of DR.. C.. A. Scherer of Fargo,
assisted by DR.. Lemieux of Dunseith
and Mrs. Carl Kirkeby, registered
nurse.
The fair association is offering six
cash prizes to the babies scoring the
highest.
The contest is open to all babies
between six months and three years
in Bottineau and adjacent counties.
The examination is absolutely free
and mothers are urged to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity Of having
their babies examined and given a
physical and mental scoring.

PATRONS PROTECTED AT FAIR.

The following rules for the protec-
tion of fair patrons are being put in
operation this year and should be Of
great interest to all, in view Of the
fact that some of the waiting stands

ed their privileges. This applies prin-
cipally to outside concessionists, but
the rules will apply to all those serv-
ing meals, lunches or soft drinks this
year:

IN THIS SIGN CONQUER.


Sixteen hundred years ago an en-.
emy host threatened Gaul, precursor
Of modern France. The first Con-
stantine the Great, led his armies to
the defense. Three times he was vic
torious, and it was in this campaign,
as Eusebius and other historians re-
cord, that he saw in the sky a lum-
inous cross, with the Greek words
which have been rendered into Eng
lish: "In This Sign, Conquer"
After sixteen hundred years there
blazes in the heavens a cross as
luminous as that which struck awe to
the heart Of Constantine, a cross fiery,
flaming and red-red with the blood
of millions who have died for liberty,
red with the glow Of inferno where
in the liberty Of the liberty Of the
world is being forged.
The Red Cross must be the symbol
in which America goes forth to con-
quer.
All other forms of conquest we have
renounced. Ours is the task not mere
ly to supply millions of men and
mountains Of foodstuffs, ships and the
weapons of warfare; we must rebuild
cities and hearten war worn peoples,
pour oil on the wounds and bind them
up, kneel by the dying and receive
from their lips the simple testament
of the faith in which we are to rise,
fight forward and finally rest on our
arms victorious. We Must Give!
ought not to be an American who will
not give something. To give money
is so little! Can you shut your eyes
upon the shining Red Cross?

Chairman of Publicity Committee.

MUCH DAMAGE
DONE BYlSTORM
Buildings Wrecked, Stock Killed and
Glass Fronts Shattered in Fri
days Wind and Hail.

A hail storm which passed over a
portion Of Bottineau county last Fri
day evening did considerable dam
age to the growing crops and garden
truck in certain localities. Fortunate
ly the storm was of short duration
and the hail fell scattered, or there
would have been complete devasta-
tion in it's wake
What the hail stones lacked in num-
ber they amply made up for in size,
number of samples" being picked
up in Bottineau the size of base balls.
Practically every window light ex-
posed to the storm was shattered, ev-
en- many protected by screens. The
damage from this source in Botti-
neau alone will run into several hun
dred dollars. On Thompson street
the damage was the greatest, almost
every light on the west side of the
street being smashed by the icy mis-
siles.
Considerable stock throughout the
county was killed by lightning dur
ing the storm.
H. r. Russell lost a valuable two
year old heifer and on the Henry
Bliss farm a cow was killed in the
pasture. Christ Arends lost two val
liable horses. A mule on the Hearon-
emus farm was killed by a bolt of
lightning and several other head of
stock were stunned but later recov-
cred.
TO the south of the city a minia-
ture cyclone wrought considerable
damage to farm buildings.
On the Archie Cameron farm
barn was moved off it's foundation
and badly wrecked. Hay racks were
picked up and hurled through the air
and eventually fell to the ground
splintered to kindling wood.
The Martin Kohls barn in Amity
township was also badly wrecked and
the kitchen addition to the dwelling
moved off it's foundation.
The large barn on the August Zorn
farm was also moved off it's founda-
tion and badly damaged.
On the A. H., White farm in Whit
by township the storm appears to
have been at it's height. The large
new silo just constructed by Mr..
White was reduced to a mass of ruins
and one of the barns moved con-
siderable distance.
At the Duncan Beaton farm
granary was thrown off it's founda-
ton and badly wrecked. At this
place boards were picked up off the
ground by the storm and driven
endwise through the sides Of the
granary, indicating the velocity Of
the wind.
The large barn on the John Brandt
farm is almost a total wreck, being
shattered almost beyond repair. Two
of the Brandt boys had narrow es-
cape from death, being alongside the
barn when it toppled over. The fact
that they were at the end of the barn
in place of the side is the only thing
that saved them from being crushed
to death under the falling structure.
Word has been received by friends
in Bottineau of the marriage of Mrs.
Eleanor Haskett, formerly publisher
of the Courant, to a Mr.. Barnes at
Stilwell, Ind. Further particulars
are lacking. The Courant extends
it's congratulations.

V. B. Noble also spoke in behalf of
the Red Cross, appealing to the pat
riotism, humanity and Christianity of
the people Of the county. whatever
we may think of the war;" said the
speaker, "has nothing whatever to do
with our attitude towards the Red
Cross Society. We are in the war.
There will be endless suffering on the
battlefelds before the awful carnage
is over. The Red Cross Society has
but one purpose, that is to lend CON-
fort and aid to those who are MANNED
and wounded while battling for us
who stay at home. Surely we are
all willing to do our little bit in this
work by parting with few dollars
to lend aid to those who have laid
their lives on the altar"
Both addresses were we'll received,
indicating that the speakers had
struck responsive chord in the
hearts of the listeners.
The concluding address was given
by Attorney General LANCER. He de-
voted most Of his time to discussion
of law and left convic-
.tion in the minds of his hearers that
the laws of North Dakota will be rig
idly enforced, regardless of power or
station of the violator, while Mr.. Lam
ger is attorney general.
GAS attorney general I am not con-
cerned whether or not the people of
North Dakota go hunting on Sum
days, or whether the pool halls Of the
state are kept open day and night
and Sundays. But you people are
spending vast sums every two years
sending legislators to Bismarck to
enact laws. These laws are passed
for the purpose Of being observed.
And as attorney generalI deem it my
duty to see that every law on the
statute books Of the state is rigidly
enforced. If there are certain laws
that are obnoxious or deemed unhec-
essary in regulating the affairs Of the
state, let these laws be repealed. AS
long as the laws remain on the statute
books, we as officers, sworn to do our
duty, must see that they are obeyed,
however unpopular that may be-"
This was Mr.. Langer's first visit to
Bottineau county and he made many
new friends while here who were
glad Of the opportunity to shake the
hand of an official that would invoke
the law on railroad president with
the same exaction as on coon dive
operator. -
The Omemee Band, under the di-
rection Of Prof. j. s.. Anderson, was
"on the job" during the afternoon
and gave very creditable account of
themselves. Omemee has a musical
organization that would do credit to
any city in the state and the boys
came in for a great deal of well-mer
tied praise.
Following the speaking program,
Omemee and Bottineau clashed on the
ball diamond. Bottineau went after
the game as if they really wanted it
and the way they swatted the ball was
absolutely cruel. Leckman, who start
ed out doing the artillery work for
Omemee, was derricked in the third
inning and the old reliable Bob Brandt
went on the firing line. But they all
looked alike to Bottineau on this oc-
casion and when the game ended in a
deluge of rain during the fifth inning
the score stood 10 to in favor of
the county seaters. Brown was doing
the slab duty for the locals and pitch
ed a steady game throughout.

How the Allies May Shock
the Germans Out Of Victory

A N American inventor has come
~ forward with a new war de-
vice that promises 10 be more
effective than any offensive weapon
now In use. All OF us remember the
surprise and horror that greeted the
first news OF the liquid fire thrown
by the Germans upon their enemies.
This was deemed the last word IN
the business Of infllctlng pain and
death. But the device in question
may have much moro important re-
suits, with many times less suffering
Imposed upon the enemy.
Just as the Teuton armies play fire
upon their foes. this inventor pro-
poses to spray them with water! But
no would have the water charged,
electrocuting every man It touches,
or at least rendering him temporarily
unconscious. Here is the whole story:
When New York's elevated road
changed from steam to electric power
a fire broke out on the elevated
structure that bid fair to cause seri-
oW damage. The firemen turned
