Pierced by Deaths most cruel dart.
Far into the night l wondered,
Dreaming Of the by-gonc years:
How You used to shield my sorrow,
Away would vanish all my fears.
You arc not forgotten, mother,
Nor will you ever be;
For as long as life and memory last
We will always think OF thee.
Gone, but not forgotten.

CLAY COURT TO
QUIT SATURDAY
Farm Work so Pressing
Jury Not to Be Had
Only 6 of 20 Ready

The jury term of the Clay county
district court at Moorhead will be
adjourned, sine die, on Saturday.
This decision was reached by Judge
John A. Roeser after a conference
with the attorneys at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. Many of the cases on the
calendar had already been continued
as it was found difficult to hold the
jurors. ST.
This morning a special venire Of
20 jurors resulted in IA Of them be-
ing excused to go home and cultivate
corn and paris green their potatoes.
None OF the attorneys were anxious
to continue the work with Jurors
who should be at work in their
fields, so the decision to end the
term was reached.
Ludwig Peterson, charged with
conducting an unlicensed drinking
place, withdrew his plea Of not gull
ty and pleaded guilty to the indict-
ment this afternoon. Judge Roeser
sentenced him to pay a fine of 800
and costs and to serve so days in
Jail. The costs and Jail sentence
were suspended conditioned upon
Peterson's paying thes fine and re-
porting good behavior at the first
day of the December term.
The case against I. G. Peterson,
charged with violating the county
option law, was given to the jury
this afternoon.
A verdict in favor of Charles u.
Brantner was rendered by the jury
in the case against L. H. Amidon
Fargo. The amount Of damages will
be fixed later by Judge Roeser. This
was a suit in which it was claimed
that values were misrepresented in
q real estate trade.

By direction of the adjutant gen.
eral Of the war department, the fol-
lowing letter from the quartermaster
general, has been received at the
United States Army Recruiting sta
ton in Fargo:
I'm order that the training of bak-
ers and cooks for the increased
forces may be started at once, it is
requested that 100 privated to be
trained as bakers and 500 privated
TO be trained as cooks be transferred
to the quartermaster corps at once.
These should as far as possible
be from men who have had exper-
fence as cooks and bakers in the
army, or in civil life. If not, they
sohuld be men of good physique,
strong and robust, who are willing
to be trained as bakers and cooks.
I'm the event that there are suffi-
cient recruits possessing these quail
fications at the recruit depots and
depot posts, is is further recommend
thorized to recruit the required num-
Der. If possible, certain physical
defects should be waived. A man
might be physically fit to perform
the duties of a baker and yet have
certain minor defects (such as fiat
feeO which would incapacitate him
for marching with infantry.
ut should be explained to the men
that the opportunity for promotion
is unusual in the baker companies.
THE names of these men should
be reported to this Office as soon as
possible in order that they may be
assigned to bakery companies and
schools for instructions"
