Moorhead News
OLDEST GROCERY
FIRM IN CITY
HAS DISSOLVED
M. 0. Christensen & Son
Succeed Christianson &
Wentzell

A change in ownership OF the oldest
grocery house in Moorhead was made
this morning when Ole Christianson
retired from the firm of Christensen
e. Wentzell and the new firm, M. o.
Wentzen & Son. took over the BUSH
ness.
Twenty four years ago Ole Chris
tianson and M. Q. Wentzell began
business. To be accurate, they pur-
chased their opening stock on June
from a Fargo wholesaler named Roth
well. Before the goods were delivered
the Fargo fire wiped out RothwelIs
business. The new firm then placed
their order with Winston, Harper &
Fisher, Minneapolis, and opened their
store for business on June "a, 1898.
Together the two partners weathered
the storms for "a years and today the
interest Of Ole Christensen was pur-
chased by Otis T. Wentzell, son Of
M. o. Wentzell.
Since the death of Mrs. Christian
son, Mr.. Christianson has desired to
be relieved OF the responsibility Of the
business, and will now take hard
earned rest.
Otis T. Wentzell the new member
of the firm. will be actively engaged
in the business during the summer and
will return to Twin Valley to resume
his duties as superintendent OF schools
at the commencement Of the fall term,
to carry out his contract for the next
school year. While some changes in
the business are contemplated none
were announced today.

BURNQUTST WILL HEAD
RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
Plan to Raise 100000 For National
Body in Minnesota During Week
Starting June ~, ......

Governor j. A. A. Burnquist has ac-
cepted the commission to lead the
campaign to raise 100000 in Mime
sofa for the National Red Cross, and
will be official chairman Of the activi-
ties in the state.
On Thursday the governor issued
the following proclamation urging
that special work be done during the
week beginning June IL to raise the
fund:
Whereas, the president Of the United
States has proclaimed the week be-
ginning June II as Red Cross week and
officially recognized the American Red
Cross as the proper agency through
which 1t will be possible for all to
show their patriotism and generosity
in meeting the urgent need, both in the
field and civilian relief; and,
Whereas, thousands Of our young
men are showing themselves willing
to go to the front to suffer hardships
and, IL necessary, give up their lives,
and 1t is evident the least any man,
woman or child who remains at home
can do is to help in every way pos
sible to reduce the hardships which
our men at the front must necessarily
endure; and,
Whereas, the necessary, humane and
patriotic work can best be accomplish
ed through the war council or the
American Red Cross, whose purpose 1t
is to raise $4,000 900 for this work,
OF which $2,00O,000 is the share appor-
toned to the state of Minnesota;
I hereby urge that each person In
our state aid the committees engaged
In the collection Of the needed funds
and respond, specially during the said
week, to this appeal in such way
as to show that spirit Of loyalty and
sacrifice which has ever characterized
the people of Minnesota.

py" Peterson Writes
Change Drill

That the Moorhead and Fargo
young men at the officers training
camp at Fort Smelling are kept pref
ty busy is indicated in the following
letter received this morning from
Happy Peterson:
Two changes have been made in
our work since I wrote last One Of
them is the institution of compulsory
study after supper. At 1880 we are
required to fall in to ranks and. at
ter roll is called, we fall out to as

hall for a two hour study period.
The other change is in the bayo-
net manual. The one in use in the
trenches has been substituted for the
u. 8. bayonet manual. This Is the
style used in actual fighting, instead
fcers, to kill or be killed
ION Friday we take our last, or
third. anti-typhoid treatment. The
last shot made some Of the boys sick
for a day or so. This may have been
partly due to the miserable weather
we had at that time-it being cold and
rainy for few days.
Indoor baseball is still a popular
form Of amusement. The camp Z.
M. C. A. has organized a league which

of the schedule last night with Co.

six-inning game. Owing to the linn
tied time between our supper time
and study period, we play only six
inning games.
Muster roll was called last Thurs
day, and we are waiting impatiently
now to get our hands on Uncle Sans
dollars. The way each and every man
talks we can all use it to advantage.
1T understand that in a week or
so we will be reassigned to new COM
panies in accordance with the branch
of service we enlisted in. There
seems to be a large number Of caval-
rymen in camp.
This is a rainy day so that our
work is confined to the barracks. The

and code signal work so / must close.
