Induces Laundry Girl to Go
CdhootS on FiUUer But Fails
to DeliUeE: NOU Smith S in Jail

} Bismarck, N. D., Aug. "A phan-
tom fiivver in which Ida Selenshen-
ko, a local laundry girl, claims TO
have invested $50, representing
a years savings, has landed behind
the bars one William Smith, alias
Curley Hall, alias Frank Smith, who
is said to have prison records in
Montana and North Dakota The
charge against Smith is a rather
complicated one, the technical COM
plant being that he has procured
unlawful possession of the property
Of another through fraud or stealth.
Smith, according to the girls
story, seemed to be a mighty fine
fellow, and she loaned him $40, which
he repaid, incidentally ascertaining
the size of her bank-roll. He then
suggested that they go into partner
ship in the purchase of 3oy-riding
gig. This appealed to her romantic
nature, and she produced 800 as
her share of the investment. Later,
she claims, Smith told her the
bloomin' bus wouldn't run without
repairs, and she handed him $50
more. All of this time she hadn't
been treated to a single joy-ride In
her half of the car.

company fire, and the next day
Smith woefully informed her that
their car had burned in the garage.
About this time she became sus-
picious, and CHANGING to see a car
which looked like the one she
thought she had bought, she charged
Smith with duplicity. He informed
her that this particular car had
been exchanged for another, and
that the other most certainly did
burn. Then she told her troubles to
States Attorney McCurdy, and a
warrant was procured for Smith,
employed as a molder in local beam
foundry.
The complainant has a note sign
ed by Smith for her $3.50, and the
defendant protests he had no inten-
ito of defrauding her. He has retain
ed competent counsel, and intends
to fight the case.

the Associated Press -AuthoriZ
to spend all the money necessary to
properly equip their new clubhouse
with athletic apparatus and musical
instruments has just been received by
the American sailors from the navy
department in Washington. The
news was received with tho greatest
enthusiasm by the men. 1t gives
them what amounts to carte blanche
in the matter of providing for their
shore amusement over here.
The first step upon receipt Of the
welcome news was to dispatch an
order to the United States for $1,000
worth of musical instruments to aug
ment the string orchestra which en-
tertains the men every Saturday night
in their new clubhouse. Their Cr-
der also calls for plentiful supply of
the latest ragtime and other typical
American music, which has made a
big hit with the native population.
The next order will be for athletic
apparatus to equip the gymnasium

R. T. KINGMAN, PIONEER
HILLSDORO NAN, DIES
Had Been III for Some Time-Death
Came at Battle Creek
Sanitarium,

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 3.-Hon.
r. T. Kingmana of HillsDoro, pio-
neer farmer, and one of the chief
leaders in the better farming move
ment of North Dakota, died at 1890
o'clock Wednesday night at the Bat
tie Creek, Mich, sanitarium, ac-
cording to word received by F. L.
Goodman in this city.
Mr.. Kingman had been ill for
some time past. but his death came
as q great shock to his many friends
in Grand Forks.
Deceased is survived by his widow
and three sons, the oldest of whom
is an officer in the United States
navy.
Mr.. Kingman was born in Massa-
chussets, and came to North Dakota
from Battle Creek, Mich, in 1881,
settling on the farm near Hiilsboro
which he continued to occupy until
his death. He took a prominent part
in the politics of the state during its
early years, being a member of the
legislature, and at one time a can
didate for the. United States senate.
He early came to the front as one
Of those advocating the use of better
farming methods, and his work along
this line made him of inestimable
value to the commonwealth. He was
generally regarded as being one of
the best posted men in such matters
that the state, has produced.
Mr.. Kingman had a host of
friends throughout the state, espec-
tally among the older inhabitants.
He is especially remembered as
the donor of the steer served at the
famous King Richard" banquet
held in Grand Forks in the fall of
1914, at which the LATE James ]. Hill
and other prominent men were pres
ent.
At that time he gave demonstra-
ton of methods in the care and feed
ing of cattle that was regarded by
experts as perhaps the most valu-
able ever given in this state.

HOLD YOUR HORSES"
ADVICES COUNTY AGENT
County Agent Of Ward County Urges
Government to Buy Horses d.
rect From Farmers.

Minot. y. D., Aug. 3.-"Hold your
horses!" This was not said in an
angry sense. but as a warning by
County Agent w. A. Peck who hus
taken up with federal authorities the
matter of the government purChas-
ing army horses directly from the
owners instead of having these pur-
chases made through spectators.
AT the present time" said the
agent, "a number Of persons are ad-
vertising for horses which come
within the specifications required
for army animals. Because of the alb
sence of feed for the winter many
farmers are disposed to get rid OF
their holdings at whatever price
they can.
The spectators will be able to
sell the animals to the government
at a price above what they pay the
farmers, also there would be no
profit In their business. II the farm
er would sell to the government he
would get this profit himself. If the
direct purchasing plan is not adopt
ed by the government, the farmers
will have no trouble in disposing Of
their horses as the demands will far
exceed the supply"

The work at certain ports of dis

ress we have made thus far with the
assistance Of the French is a source
of the greatest satisfaction"

GARRICK

Pauline Frederick, one Of the
screens greatest emotional actresses,
would grace any role that she was
given to perform, but in The Love
That Lives, at the Garrick. she has
been accorded a vehicle which al
lows her to display the full splendid
scope Of her remarkable talent. 1t
can be truthfully said that in this
production, which was directed by
Robert G. Vignola, Miss Frederick
has attained to heights of artistry
never before reached even in her
brilliant career.
1t would seem on first thought
that the role of a Scrubwoman held
few IL any possibilities, yet Pauline
Frederick has impaired to such q
role all the charm and pathos ami
infinite understanding of which she
alone is capable and Molly, the office
drudge, as pC rtrayed by Miss
Frederick, becomes a character that
is lovable, understandable and
charming.
Daughter Of a scrubwoman. Molly
has a wee baby daughter of her own
whom she resolves shall not follow
the steps of her mother and herself
and it is to save this baby girl and
her little son that Molly fights with
all the strength she knows.
The tragedy of this battle of
Molly's has been depicted in all its
sordid, dismal truthfulness, yet
lightened by flashes of Miss
Frederick's inimitable humor and
many attractive glimpses of her two
babies, before the one is taken from
her by a terrible accident and the
grows up in ignorance of her very
existence.
The scenes of the fire in the Office
where Molly and her boys sweet
heart are locked up in an office to-
gether with a crazed brute of a man
are among the most vivid that have
ever been shown upon the screen.
Mollys battle with the man, the
breaking out of the fire and the
entrance of her son, the fireman, at
the last moment make an unfor-
gettable scene which impresses itself
indelibly upon the mind.

With So Wheat Flour May
Be Sold at $11.50 and
5000
WILL PERMIT OF
CHEAPER BREAD
"Cash and Garry" Bakery
Should Save Three Cents
Per Loaf
fBy Associated Press.l

Washington, Aug. 3.-People who
have predicted that 81 wheat-the
minimum price fixed by the new food
bill for next years crop-will mean
$14 -four, may quiet their fears.
The big -four millers OF the north
west who were here talking things
over with Herbert c. Hoover the
patriotic spirit.
The result of the conference has
not been made public, but it may be
stated that the millers have agreed
to cut their present profit almost in
half.
In other words. an agreement was
reached that when wheat sells at 81
a bushel, the fancy patent blends Of
-four shall sell in Chicago at $l1.50 a
barrel and in New York at $12 in
packages of "a pounds or more. The
brands used by bakers will sell at
5000 in the middle west and at
$10.50 in New York, wholesale in
CARROTS. These parcels are feed and
low grade -four.
When the food bill is finally sign
ed by the president and Mr.. Hoover's
appointment is made Official it will
be found that a number Of import
ant things have been done.
SELLING Expenses.
Along with the millers, for
instance, representatives of the bak-
ers OF the country also were in
Washington and took part in several
conferences with the food admins
tration. 1t has developed that the
average cost of the bakers Of rum
ing a credit system for their con-
Stunning customers, of delivering
bread and Of other selling expense
in dealing with so-called high class"
trade, averages almost 3 cents a loaf,
TO be exact, 2.s5 cents a loaf.
Cash and Carry.
For the woes of people who insist
on telephoning for a loaf of bread,
who want 1t charged and delivered,
Immediately" the food administra-
ton has no concern. But it does not
think persons who walk into the
bakeries. pay cash for their bread
and carry 1t home, should be COM
PEELED to pay the same as their rich
er or lazier brothers.
The food administration has sug-
gested and urged that 2.S5 cents-or
cents-less be charged for a loaf Of
bread when 1t Is bought for cash
and carried away from the bakery,
than when 1t is charged and deliver
ed. II may also be necessary for
people wishing to get the advantage
Of the lower price to order their
bread the day before. But, though
the bakers have not yet agreed on
the plan, it is fairly safe to say that
some such scheme will be worked
out and put into force all over the
country by voluntary agreement.
