OLD R

"Old Glory" Thou. banner of the
free,
By Gods grace the exponent of hui
man liberty.
The Hottest aims of patriotism con-
ceived thy plan;
It stands for righteous equality for
every man;
The red, for blood brotherhood-uni-
versal amity;
The blue, the sky above, broad as the
nations destiny;
The white, a spotless rule, devoted to
progress of man;
The stars, Gods light to see the right,
nor race, nor creed, nor clan.
Martyrs to human liberty have kisst
thy folds, then died:
Bravest and best defend thee and will
whate'er betide;
Sacrifice sewed. in thy stripes, added
stars n by one;
Ours to complete the great work
our fathers have begun.
Our motto, justice, equality, human
liberty, right;
Our practice, love for all-mightier
than might;
God grant a. wisdom ours, great
enough to saven
Till cons shall have rolled, and time is
in it's grave.
Written at Westerlo, the authors
home near Gladstone, Stark County,
N. D., Christmas morning, 1914.
What Old Glory stood for that
sunny Christmas morning in contrast
to the flags of the warning nations of
Europe, has been fully demonstrated
since, and only accents the fact that
we, as a nation, have a duty to per-
form in the interest of all men that
we may not shift to other shoulders.
Time has run on apace since that
date, and we see that our RESPONSE
bility in the matter could not be ig-
nored, as in the providence of God
we have been made a partner in the
work of extirpating this foul thing
called "Kultur," which defined simply
means an oppression of people or
peoples for an end that is worldwide
in it's %endeavor, and not for the good
Of the people themselves, but power to
thrall for the selfish ends of dynasties
and an extension of boundaries over
helpless smaller countries.

MARCH-DON'T BE A STACKER.

"Every man not in line of march
a slacker-no spectators wanted" is
the slogan for Dickinson's big Loyalty
Day celebration next Tuesday. It is
the earnest desire of those who have
worked faithfully to make the affair
a success that every able-bodied per-
son in the city be in line that day and
demonstrate that love for the flag is
as great in this city as in other mu-
inequalities throughout the nation.
And it is also devoutly hoped that the
celebration will aid in swelling the
ranks Of Company K to something
near maximum peace strength.
The parade is not merely for the
lodges and other organizations which
have been assigned positions in the
line of march. 1t is for every man
and woman in the city who wishes to
irrespective of whether he
or she belongs to one of the organiza-
tions named. Taylor, Gladstone and
other small nearby towns have held
enthusiastic demonstrations, in which
people of foreign descent have been
prominent and have shown that they
are loyal to their adopted land. Dick
inson people can certainly do as much.
W. boast of our patriotism. Tuesday
will be a fitting time to show it.

tinuing of the war in Europe, that
railroads cannot build enough cars be-
fore next winter to prevent another
car shortage at that time. 1t is pos
sible that the shortage will continue
during the summer. For these a
ons, the consumer should certainly
plan early stocking of next winters
coal. Universal early stocking in all
years will result in direct financial adj
vantage to consumer. Equally i'm
portant, it will enable operator and
retailer to operate their plants econ
omically all the year. While it may
not be as apparent to the public, the
ability of operator and retailer to run
every month in the year will stabilize
the coal industry, enable it to be con-
Quoted on an economical basis, effect
ing a substantial saving to all consum-
ers Of coal.

CLEAN UP FOR SAFETY.

Next week has been designated as
Cleanup Week by Mayor White, and
citizens should put forth every effort
to make cleanup campaigns of the
past appear triAing in comparison
with the one of 1917. From the
standpoint of sanitation and from that
of increasing the attractiveness of a
city, a cleanup campaign is of first
rank Importance, but there is another
angle from which it may, be viewed
as essential to the well-being of a
city and it's inhabitants-that of fire
prevention.
Spring is a time of fire menace, be-
cause of the vast heaps of litter which
have accumulated during the winter,
especially during the long frigid
period which is the rule in this state.
Instances without number might be
cited of disastrous fires which have
originated in rubbish piles which were
carelessly left about premises. If a
spring campaign of cleanup could be
established throughout the country, as
a national institution, millions of, dol
lars would be saved every year which
is now lost through fires.
Statistics show that all the confa-
grations in the southern states have
occurred between February Is and
May 8, the period when rubbish had
accumulated and had been allowed to
remain where it was ever a menace
to life and property.
Dickinson people should view Clean
Up Week as a vital institution and
should do all in their power to safe
guard their premises from fire as we'll
as make them more sanitary and at
tractive.

Saturday night, April %, with Marc
McDermott and Naomi Childers in
the leading roles. John Thatcher, of
great literary ability, but a failure, is
denounced by his twin brother,
William, and changes his name to
Demarest. Years roll by and William
is at the height of a successful bust
ness career and nominee for the
United States senate. His brother,
John, is sub-editor of a leading paper.
He is authorized to kill Williams po-
litical aspirations, but instead he
writes a brilliant article which causes
his employer to break him with every
newspaper in the country.
Thatcher then employs the sup
posed Demarest and finds him to be
his own brother. William is injured

The local Red Cross Society held
it's weekly tea and business meeting
on Tuesday at the Commercial Club
rooms. Mrs. H. A. Turner and Mrs.
Hugh McGillivray were the hostesses
and at the conclusion served a dainty
luncheon.
Ed. Hughes, on behalf of the Com
mercial Club, made a little talk con-
corning the program for Loyalty Day,
May LIST, and it was decided that the
Red Cross society would handle the
flags for that day. They will be on
sale in various public places and on
the street so that every patriotic
citizen may display his or her colors.
The First Aid class, under DR.. V.
H. Stickney, has not begun work yet,
as it's books have not arrived.
They expect to begin this week.
Mesdames Bowen, Anderson and
Washer will leave the latter part of
the week to organize a Red Cross
chapter at Sentinel Butte. Other
chapters will be started at Medora,
Beltield and Beach.

State Game BOdY
Prepares to Push
Membership Drive

Initial steps in a statewide drive,
which will have as it's aim a member
ship of 10000 for the organization
by the end of 1918, will be taken
in a short time by the State Game
Protective Association. C. E. Ed
quist of Mandan, secretary-treasurer
of the association, was in Dickinson
recently, comforting with local mem
bers and Frank Ray, a director of
the body, with regard to arranging
for the campaign.
The protective organization was
and has for it's objects the propa-
cation and protection Of game and
passing. of proper legislation for the
~furthering Of these aims. Take the
game out of politics is the slogan, and
candidates for office in the state
Twill be asked to give the members
assurance that they will do their
utmost to realize this and place
North Dakota in the foremost ranks
as regards game protection.
Money paid in as membership fees
will be used to restock the state
with game. In line with this effort,
the first shipment of ~pheasants has
been received at Mandan, arriving
there last week and consisting of
20 birds, five ROSTERS and fifteen
hens. Bantam hens will )be employed
in Matching. Quail will also be
shipped into the state in the near
future, and will be distributed to
points which are. considered ideal
for the propagation of this species
of game.

Many are asking what is a chill

ference is not a clinic. Sick children
are not admitted, and no medical adj
vice is given. 1t is an attempt to
give instructions to mothers of aver
age healthy children on how to meet
their problems, to the end that these
mothers may give their children the
best possible development and ecu
for them the blessings of good health
and personal efficiency. Every one in

WHY COAL SHORTAGE?

"While the public may not be in
the best frame of mind at the present,
to appreciate a statement of the
causes of the present car shortage,
with it's resulting scarcity of coal,
every of coal should learn
of these causes if he wishes to save
money and possible inconvenience and
discomfort in the FUTURE" said a local
coal dealer. Continuing, he said,
"Coal cannot be mined and stored at
the mine, thus being unlike a product
that can be manufactured and stored
at the factory. While domestic coal
is consumed for heating purposes dur
ing only about six months of the year,
the coal operator must run his mine
every month in the year. For this
reason, as soon as the winter ends,
the coal operator begins to urge re-
tailers to allow the operator to begin
shipping coal to the retailers yards,
and, as early spring is the "off seas
on" for heating coal, prices are natur-
ally lowest of the year. The wise, ex-
perienced coal retailer usually stocks
early, thus actually making money by
getting the lowest prices Of the year;
and, what has especially proved true
this year, he is sure to have a sup
ply of coal to last him through the
greater part, or all of the winter.
The experienced dealer goes farther.
He urges his consumer to stock early,
thus keeping the men and equipment
of the coal yard busy during the sum-
mer instead of their being a dead ex-
pense on his hands. The consumer
also gets a price lower than winter
prices, and he need not worry about
winter coal shortages.
On October LIST last year it was
stated that the railroads should have
built 100000 cars during the preced-
ing two years to meet ordinary in
crease in business, but had built only
one-third that number; furthermore,
war orders created an extraordinary
demand for cars, and thousands of
cars became congested at seaports be-
cause there were no ships to receive
freight from these cars. 1t is now

OBITUARY

Sunday morning, January IA,
at ten o'clock, Heinrich Leudtke
peacefully passed away, after
an illness of about ten days. Al
though Mr.. Luedtke was known
to have been not in the best of
health, his many friends were
shocked to learn of his death.
He was born in Franzfelde,
Pommern, Germany, on the 9th
day of April, 1916, and he grew
to manhood there. He served
with the German army, through
the Franco-Prussian war in 1870
and 1871, was engaged in seven
battles, and was present at the
seige at Paris.
In the year of 1873, on the
28th of September, he was uni
ted in marriage with Miss Jo-
hanna Mas at Hoehenshoen by
Neugard, where they lived un-
til 1882, when he and his little
family, which consisted of his
wife and three daughters, came
to America end chose Faribault
as their first place of residence.
After several years he moved to
Minnesota Lake, where he
stayed about twenty years ago,
when he moved onto the farm
in Waterbury township, where
he spent the remainder of his
life, having attained an age of
70 years 8 months and 18 days.
He was kind husband and faith
er, a true christian and a loyal,
honest citizen. His quiet peace
full disposition and his unstained
character will leave lasting re-
membrance.
Wednesday, January II, he
was laid to rest in Waterbury
cemetery, and many Of his
friends were present to bid him
last farewell. The deceased
was the father of ten children,
eight of whom and his wife are
still living, to mourn his loss.
All Of his family were present
at the funeral except Mrs. VIM.
