TO
FLAG SHOWN
IN DICKINSON
MORE THAN $500 PATRIOTIC
AMERICANS MARCH IN MAN,
MOTH PARADE,
City Does Itself Proud in Big Demon
stration-Forceful Speeches Fea-.
ture Program.

More than $500 loyal Americans
marched through the principal streets
of Dickinson Tuesday afternoon, in
mammoth demonstration of the love
which they bear their country and
their flag, and nearly as many more
lined the streets along which the
parade passed. Given perfect day
and with enthusiasm reused to the
highest pitch, Dickinson did itself
proud and conclusively proved that
loyalty to the nation is firmly i'm
planted in the hearts of it's citizens.
Led by Miss Jessie Leask, repre-
senting the Goddess of Liberty, in q
car beautifully decorated with the ma
tional colors, the parade started at
2:30 from the corner of First Street
and First Avenue West. Passing
along the main streets, the process
sion was augmented near the school
building by hundreds of school chill
dren, who fell in line there. The
procession then crossed the tracks to
the South Side, where organizations
of that portion of the city joined in
the pageant. Recrossing the tracks,
ladies of the Red Cross and other or
ganizations joined in and march was
continued to the Merchants National
Bank corner, where the speakers
stand had been erected.
Miss Leask Is Columbia.
Miss Leask, splendidly impersonat-
ing the Goddess of Liberty at the head
of the procession, was followed by
Uncle Sam, in the person of Vic
Chilgren. After Uncle Sam marched
the Boys of '76, fife and drum and
fag-bearer, and back of them came
the ex-members of Company K and
Spanish-American war veterans. The
veterans of the war of '98 carried the

FRED THOMPSON, LONG
TIME RESIDENT HERE,

Fred A. Thompson, resident of
Dickinson for twenty years, passed
away last Saturday at the age of 60
years. Mr.. Thompson had been a
faithful employe Of the Walton &
Davis Company for the past seventeen
years. having been employed as team
ster there.

early history, as he lived almost as a
recluse. He was born near Hartford,
Conn.,, in 1857. He was employed by
the Kleinfelter dray line on his ar
rival in the city and later worked for
the Gruschus transfer line. Since
leaving the latter, he had been en-
ployed continuously by the Walton
Davis concern.
Death was due to paralytic
stroke. No relatives, as far as known
here, survive him. @ ii

Monday afternoon, with interment in
the Dickinson cemetery. The Rev. j.
G. Duling officiated at the services.

EIks to Postpone
1917 Convention on
Account of Strife

State convention of the B. P. O.
Elks, scheduled to take place at Bis
marck next July amid pomp and elab-
crate display, will be postponed for at
least year, according to latest ad-
vices. This action was taken by the
Elks' lodges of the state for conser-
walton and patriotic reasons, owing to
the fact that a state of war exists
between this country and Germany
and it is not deemed proper for this
lodge, purely American order, to
make costly and, at this time, un-
necessary display. The order of can
collation. has not yet been issued, but
it is expected that it will be forth
coming within few days.
Dickinson lodge, No. 1887, was
asked it's opinion this week in regard
to the matter, and at the regular
meeting night, Tuesday, unanimously
voted in favor of postponement.

Mrs. Alice N. Dunn
Murdered in st. Paul,
= Is Well K1aOlUn Here

Mrs. Alice M. Dunn, slain as she
slept in her home in St. Paul last
Tuesday morning, was well known in
this city, having visited here for a
time last summer with Miss Ida Bar
beau. A number of residents of this
city made her acquaintance while
here. She was employed in Wibaux
for some time, also, and is well known
there.
Two men were brought to st. Paul
from Montana Monday, one from
Billings and one from Forsyth, and
when they confronted Dunn in the
Central station in st. Paul, on their
arrival they accused him Of the muir
der, admitting that they had black
mailed him for $4,000 to remain silent.

VEGETABLES
PLANTED. In
N. P. PARKS
NOBLE SPUD BLOOMS WHERE
SHRINKING VIOLET WAS
QUEEN YESTERYEAR.
Railway Heads Set Example for Citi-
zens by Flowing Beauty Spots for
Garden Crops.

Work of preparing the soil of the
station parks of the Northern Pacific
Railway in this city for the planting
of vegetables was begun Monday
morning, and where the eye of the
traveller over the N. P. system feasted
in previous years on decorative flower
and shrub, this year it will feast
more substantially on the noble bean,
the lordly onion and the monarch of
them all, the kingly spud.
For this season, as an example in
making all possible use of every foot
of vacant ground, the N. P. has in
structed its employees to raise vege-
tables in all the parks along the line,
and Agent Frank D. Cooper is busily
engaged in directing work of cropping
the local area, that Dickinson may do
it's share in the project. The parks
were plowed and thoroughly disked by
employees of the Dickinson Ice &
Transfer Company, small strips being
left at the ends and sides to admit
of convenience in cultivation and 20
avoid damage to the trees which have
been placed in the beauty spots.
Agents Are in Charge.

the ground in his city, will attend to
the purchase of seed and supervise
other matters in connection with
bringing the project to successful
outcome. The bills are to be turned
in to the division superintendent.
Hazen J. Titus, superintendent of
the dining car department, is enthusi-
astic over the plan and predicts that
it will aid materially in combating the
food shortage. He procured permis-
sion from Vice-President G. T. Slale
for the scheme and has wired all di-
vision and general superintendents,
asking for their cooperation in the
plan. Potatoes, of the very largest
variety, if possible, navy beans, corn,
of the Golden Bantam variety, onions,
parsnips, beets and radishes are the
Vegetables which ;he especially RECON-

Consolidation of Rural Schools" He
congratulated Dickinson on the sue
cessful outcome of the campaign to

dicted that it would make for great
advancement in educational work in
this section of the state.
An interesting insight into the
work Of the state department of agri-
culture was given by John N. Hagan,
commissioner of that department. He
described in detail work of his office

$25,O0O RECEIVED
BY FARMERS FOR
CREAM LAST YEAR

A concern which pays out to the
farmers of the community cash to
the amount of $4,000 in one year is
admittedly one of great value to a
city, and in the Dickinson Creamery
Company this city has a concern
which does this. Figures given by N.
C.. Jensen, proprietor of the plant,
show that farmers of this vicinity re-
,ceiyed approximately that sum for
their cream during the last year, and
it is expected that this amount will
be exceeded during the curernt twelve
Several years ago the creamery
was started as a farmers co-opera-
tive experiment. In November, 1914,
Mr.. Jensen took charge and has built
the business to it's present proportions.
The present proprietor came to Dick
inson from La Crosse, Wis, where he
was engaged in the creamery busi-
ness for number of years, and PRIOR
to that time he had worked in other
establishments in Wisconsin, one OF
the great dairy states Of the Union. ;.
Capacity of the plant is approx
mately 1000 pounds Of butter daily,
and installation of a new brine
freezer, now under way, will make it
possible to manufacture 400 gallons Of
ice cream daily. Butter and ice cream
are the chief products of the factory.
NJ p. lis Customer. x
Quality of butter made at the local
plant is high, this being attested BY
the fact that the Northern Paclhc
uses the product Of the local creamery
in its dining cars from Dickinson west
as far as Ellensburg, Wash.
Territory from which cream is pur-
chased includes farmers residing as
far west as Sentinel Butte and as far
east as Gladstone. Prices paid are
higher than by any other concern IN
the city, it being a matter OF official
record in the office OF the commits
sioner Of agriculture that the farm
ers received an average OF $ cents a
pound more, for their cream from m
the creamery than was paid else
where in the city. This was COM
mented on by Commissioner John n.
Hagan in his address at the slope pc
teachers meeting Friday night. !,
The cream is tested by means OF tne
Babcock apparatus, the most reliable
and standard tester OF its kind made.
IF 100 pounds of cream is bought IN
by the farmer, and it tests 80 pounds,
It means that the creamery pays Tor
the 35 pounds Of butterfat contained <
in the cream. = .% :.
Continued expansion is the aim OF
MI. Jensen, and Dickinson has cause
for pride in the concern, especially
in view Of the fact that OF the 2O4
cooperative creameries which have
been started in the state, but seven
continue in business. 3

MILLING co. GRANTS ,...
$3.50. WAGE INCREASE

A raise in wages Of 25 cents day
each was granted by the Russell-Mil-
ler Milling Company to all it's, en-
ployes this week. This will increase
the pay roll of the company about
$3.50 month. The raise was volun-
tary, officials realizing that increased
prices necessitated a corresponding
increase in wages.
It is also reported that the concern
has issued instructions that no man
who has not taken out his first nat
uralization papers will be employed
at the plant.
