Miss Bertha Palmer's
Father, Civil War
Veteran, Died Aug. ]

Fargo friends Of Miss Bertha r.
Palmer, Of Williston, who is well
known here, have received word of
the death Of her father, Lafayette
Palmer, which occurred on Aug. l
at his home on "Woodbine Farm"
near Devils Lake. The Devils Lake
world says, in part. of the demise:
Ramsey county lost worthy citi-
zen when Lafayette Palmer, one Of
the men who did noble pioneer work
In this state, died yesterday after
noon at beautiful Woodbine farm.
Death followed a stroke OF paralysis
Mr.. Palmer was born in Eaton,
Preble county, o., March 26, 1889. 1t
was typical of man like Mr.. Palmer
that when the call for volunteers
came at the time of the Civil war
that he enlisted, first volunteering
for one year in the Sixteenth Infan-
try of Indiana and when the time had
expired, re-enlisted IN the Seventy
second Illinois volunteers for the
rest of the war. He was mustered
out with great honors in 1865 as first
lieutenant Of Company K.
Thirty eight years ago, Lafayette
Palmer and Eliza B. Hudloy were
married at Worthington, MINI. The
family moved to North Dakota in
1881, settling on Rock Island, later
moving to their present home, Wood
bine farm.
Mr.. Palmer was characterized by
his sterling qualities, his faithful
ness as a church member, husband,
father, and friend. He has always
been a conscientious worker in the
Presbyterian church. He had been
an elder in the church at his old
home and was elected to the same
position here and has held the Office
ever since. The ministers, who have
served in thos parish, can testify to
the assistance which Mr.. Palmer was
ever ready and glad to give in church
work.
Surviving Mr.. Palmer are his
wife, four children; two sons,
Eugene and Bert, who assisted their
father with the farm; and two
daughters, Miss Bertha, field worker
from the superintendent of schools
office at Williston, Williams county,
and Miss Clarabella who lived at
home; his brother, Frank Palmer,
and family; a nephew, Ed Palmer,
in Mecca, Cal A sister, Mrs. Hig-
gems, died eight years ago at the
home of his brother. A coincidence
is the fact that Captain Palmer. Mrs.
Higgins, and Lafayette Palmer all

Society NeDS
National Surgical
Dressing Committee
Merges With Red Gross

Word sent out from Washington,
d. c., states that the National Surg
ical Dressings committee, which has
$4,000 working members throughout
the United States, including a strong
branch in Fargo, has just become an
auxiliary of the American Red
Cross, but will continue preparing
and forwarding dressings abroad, re-
tanning it's officials in their present
capacities. The committee has
equipped administrative branch
in France, and its work has been an
invaluable one to the hospitals along
the battle front in France.
Mrs. c. G. Dalrymple, president of
the Fargo branch, known as the
French War Relief association. is at
her summer home in Casselton. and
Mrs. II. w. Gearey, secretary, Is at
Lake Cormorant at the family's
summer camp, so II could not be
learned today whether notification
has been received by the Fargo as
ISOLATION of the merging with the
Red Cross. However in view of the
fact that preparing and forwarding
dressings abroad will be continued,
il is probable that the work OF the
local association will continue much
as previously.
The National Surgical Dressings
committee, which has forwarded to
Europe over 100000 dressings
since the war began, is the first re-
lief organization to merge with the
Red Cross since the latter began it's
campaign to centralize all war relief
work through Red Cross channels.
Robert s. Lowell of the Union Pa
cific railroad, recently appointed by
President Wilson TO the war indus
tries board, has resigned as chair
man of the Red Cross committee on
cooperation and will be succeeded
by c. A. Coffin. chairman of the
board of the General Electric COM

Five Parties Unite and Ask
Him to Form His Own
Cabinet
is ONLY MAN WHO
CAN SAVE RUSSIA
Intense Emotions Mark
All Night Meeting at
Winter Palace
tBy Associated Press,

Petrograd,s Aug. 4, via London,
Aug. 5.-The aIl-night political con-
ference at the winter palace which
was concluded this morning by the
passage of the resolution in which
confidence in Premier Kerensky was
expressed by each of the fiveN parties
represented and in which he was
invited to form his own cabinet, was
conducted under the strictest order,
but with intense emotion. All the
participants were obviously convinc-
ed that the decision which was to
be reached meant Russia's regenera-
ton or her ruin.
In conversation with The Assoc
ciated Press correspondent, who was
permitted to be present, the minis
tiers declared the conference to be
the most momentous event in the
history of the empire since 1913,
when, during the troublous times Of
athe Polish war and internal anarchy,
the election of the first Romanoff by
a similar conference at Moscow
saved the country from dissolution.
The absent Kerensky, was &C
claimed the only man invested with
the qualities necessary to restore
order while preserving liberty.
Foreign Minister Terestchenko de-
SAdLSu LIldI pcdC0 WAS luCOnC61N-
able, that Russia must prepare to
fight throughout the winter and that
Premier Kerensky alone possessed
the confidence of the nation.
.. Only Savior. 49,. ..
M. Tseretelli, the minister Of posts
and telegraphs, in an emotional
speech, echoed the view that Keren-
sky was the only man who could
save the country. In order to
alleviate his task, declared the
speaker, the government would abb
stain from forcing through the party
program. ..
The procurator of the holy synod,
M. Lvoff, said that he, too, consider
ed the premier the man destined to
be Russia's savior. Minister of JUS
tice Efremoff said almost the same
words in turn.
Paul N. Milukoff, leader of the
constitutional Democrats stated that
his party was still ready to attempt
the formation of a coalition govern
ment with Kerensky as q chief.
When debate was resumed Vice
Premier Nekrasoff for assurances
from Petrograd. that he would have
drastic powers, without which he
would not take over the chief COM
mand of the Russian armies.
A counter revolution exists, added
M. Nekrasoff, and is growing day by
day. Therefore, the restoration of a
strong government, he declared,
must be immediate.
The only matter on which, there is
not unanimity in the counsels of the
leaders is the status of the councils
Of deputies. A representative of the
Of soldiers and workmen
gave warning that in his opinion the
proposed exclusion of the councils
from influence over the government
would prove the consummation of
the existing anarchy.

WILL REDUCE
EXEMPTIONS
Government Taking Lead
in Releasing Men Not
Necessary to Service

Was..-..gton, Aug. "A ruling by
the post Office department shows
that department officials will make
few requests for the exemption of
postal employees from military SER
vice. Postmasters are instructed not
to ask for exemption for carriers or
laborers or for clerks in second class
offices below the $1,000 grade, clerks
in first class offices below the $1,100
grade, or any above these grades
unless they are qualified distributors
of mail.
The ruling is the first formal ac-
ton by an executive department in
compliance with President Wilson's
order directing that department Of
ficials indicate exemptions and that
the requirement of indispensability
be rigidly enforced.
AS generally construed the postal
ruling shows the purpose of the ad-
ministration to make the govern
ment department leaders in freeing
valuable employees for war service.
The entire mar carrier force,
numbering thousands of men OF
whom considerable percentage are
within the draft age limits, is ex-
cluded from exemption except for
physical reasons or because of de-
pendent familities. Even rural car
riers are included.
The departments ruling leaves
railway mail clerks within the ex-
emption classes, as they are highly
specialized distributors.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
took steps today to reduce the num-
Der Of exemptions because Of depen-
dent families. Instructions were
sent to all governors pointing out
that the minimum pay of soldiers is
now $50 a month and that local
boards must consider whether a
mans dependents could not be sup
ported on that amount.

full tales of bareback, If a model Red
Cross kitchen just opened in Indian

bring back stories of enjoying jams
and marmalades of the kind mother
makes, under the fire of German
guns. The idea was proposed to
Washington officials by Alfred Potts,
a lawyer, with a. good appetite, who
conceived the idea of supplying the
delicacies which are not included in
the army fare. 1t is being tried out
at Indianapolis, and, If successful,
similar kitchens will be instituted in
every large city. A score of society
women are daily making jams,
jellies, marmalades and similar
sweets in the kitchen under the
direction of competent teachers. The
raw food is contributed. as is the
kitchen, and the expense is met by
subscription. Within a short time
hundreds of glasses and cans or
sweets will be ready for shipment to

Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-02-17

This week the editor wishes par
ticulariy to mention very complete
chart on home garden work and draw
ings, sent to the Star Bulletin by Miss
Rose Kakina Of Wainiha, Kauai. The
drawings show the home garden beds
at various stages with various kinds
of plants, with size carefully given.
The chart is a model of neatness.
It is full report on the home garden
work beginning on December and
concluding January 81. The chart
gives the kinds Of plants used, the
time to sproat. when sowed, when
transplanted, height Of plants, kind OF
soil, and then remarks as to the gem
eral character of the garden.
This is at the top of the chart. Be-
low is the daily record. The weather,
time spent in the gardens and other
statistics are given for every day.
This chart is easy to keep up if
looked after daily and for practical
farming purposes is valuable. Using
this for several years the farmer would
have an exact check on his crops.
It is the first chart Of its kind sent
to the editor so far. and il Miss Ka-
kina and the Wainiha pupils worked
It out by themselves it is 9 very cred
table achievement.
There have Deen many pleasant
things noticeable ia this weeks big
mail, bringing letters from schools all
over the islands. Many teachers are
adopting the suggestion of sending
only two or THREE of the best letters
written by pupils. Records might be
kept in the school on the grades of
all the letters written, and some time,
if the teachers wish, they could send
us thu names OF the ten best letter
writer's the contest has produced.
Again the schools may be reminded
that letters should be written on one
side Of the papa only, and IL possible
all should be written on standard size
paper-about foolscap or letter size.
One coYnmendable feature brought
out In the letters is that many schools
are combining beauty and utility in
this contest taking the opportunity to
clean UP all the premises, seeing that
the scheolFard is nicely kept, and also
many schools are planting flowers to
make the school and its surroundings
more beautiful.
We get a great many letters show
ing that the pupils are overcoming all
sorts of obstacles in keeping their
gardens free Of pests OF various sorts,
and are also learning to use their in
ventiye faculties to MAKE fences, tools,
to irrigate and in other phases Of gar
denins.
All of this is very pleasant to read
about. Already the contest has proved
valuable to the entire territory, and
