A.P, WRITER MAKES TOUR
ALONG pave BATTLE LINE

The officer procured a copy of the
dukes address to his men. 1t is an
inspiring document breathing eneour-
agement and confidence.
The tour along the front took the
party to the very centers Of the hard
est fighting and along the edge Of the
inundated region where the country
side was transformed suddenly into a
vast sea. Approaching the battle front
the party passed the brigade mem
toned by General Diaz, the comman-
der-in-chief, for its furious assault at
Zenson. 1t was just back from the
front line and the men still wore their
helmets. Many of them were men of
twenty They were sturdy country
boys and marched along seemingly I'M
conscious OF their glory.
Counting Captured Guns.
At the barracks they were counting
Austrian rifles and guns gathered in

TO BOYS OF STARK COUNTY

Dear Boys:-At last we are to be
given the chance to do our share OF
the work of helping Uncle Sam. Our
mothers and sisters have had their
Red Cross work, our fathers have
raised wheat and bought bonds and
cur brothers, cousins and pals have
given themselves to the army. We
have had nothing special to do. Now
that we have the chance, we cannot
afford to be slackers.
Our opportunity comes through the
Y. M. C. A. They are going to raise
$35,OO0,OOO to help the soldiers, both
at home and across the sea. This
money is used to build "huts" as they
are called, where our boys can go to
rest, to find warmth and comfort,
games to play and free paper and
ink to write home to the folks. Some
of the money is also used to help the
men in prison camps. You see, this
is a good way to spend our money.
Now the Y. M. c. A. asks that the
boys of the United States earn and
give $1,000,00O. Notice that word
EARN. If 100000 boys will each
earn and give ten dollars, their share
of the work will be done. North Da-
kota's share is $6,75O. Our share
here in Stark county is $4OO. That
means that if only forty boys in the
whole county will do their bit, our
part of the big campaign will be
carried out. Can we do it? Of
course we can-and more. The only
question is-WILL we do it?
This is the plan. Each boy, whether
in school or at work, aged eighteen
years or under, is asked to sign a
card, stating that he will do his best
to earn and give to the Y. M. C. A.
the sum of ten dollars. This money
is to be paid by April 1st, 1918.
Nearly five whole months in which to
earn the money. If you have a bank
account the money may be given from
that, or if you have a regular allow
ance of spending money you may give
from that. We do not want money
given for this. If you have no money,
earn it.
The week Of November lilo is our
campaign week. Pledge cards will be
sent to principals, superintendents
and teachers. Some one in your town
OF district will have them. If you
have trouble in getting your card, or
are nOC III ScnOOl, please Send me your
name and address and I will be glad
to send you card and to answer any
questions you may wish to ask.
This is a splendid chance, boys.
Let's get behind and boost. Let US
show them that the boys of Stark
county are as patriotic and willing to
work as any in the whole United
States.
Who will be among the first
twenty?

To the Press:
During these times of price agita-
tion, your paper would be doing pub
lie service if you would please ask the
meat dealers in this town to give you
their prices on meats at which they
retail, also the price they are paying
for cattle, hogs and poultry.
The farmers receive $500 pen BUSH
ell for their wheat-Gove1nment
prices-and it is not more than right
that the public should know what
prices are prevailing for purchase of
livestock and retail prices that the
dealers receive for meats.
Furthermore, you ought to have an
open column in your paper right
along, something like the one in the
Dispatch, of what people think 50
that different people may express
themselves through that column.
You will find quite a few things of
interest if you do.
Publish this letter and get the data

FOUR MINUTE TAKERS

Rev. John Dignam inaugurated last
week the new series of four minute
talks which are to be feature at
the movie show during the period of
the war. These talks will be along
patriotic lines, carrying an especial
appeal to the public to assist in every
way possible, the course of Govern
ment during this stressful period.
Father Dignam's talk emphasized
the need of conservation in the homes.
There are three factors in this war,
said Father Dignam, the man in the
trench, the man at home who is Civ
ing OF his money and influence and
the consevationist. That we must
save is only too evident. The Allies
are in this war as are we. Their
victory is our victory; their defeat is
our loss. They need food. We, alone,
can supply it. The men at the front
are not getting as much food as are
we, therefore it behooves US to leash
our own appetites, already pandered
too much, in order that there will be
enough to go around. Father Dignam
stressed the saving of beef, pork, NUT
ton and veal and a considerable les
sening of wheat, flour and sugar con-
sumption.
Mrs. DR.. Alice Hunter spoke Sat-
urday night from the standpoint OF
the home and admonished housekeep-
ers to be saving. Rev. J. G. Duling
talked Tuesday night and L. R. Baird
put out inspiration for the Y. M. c..
A. drive between shows Wednesday.
John Orchard addressed the audience
Thursday night and E. P. Lee will be
the speaker Friday evening. C. II.
Starke is billed to address the people
Saturday night. Other speakers and
dates will be announced later.

Winnefred Eyer is back at her
high school work after several
weeks visit in Pennsylvania.
The English III class has begun the
study Of poetry, which is probably .
relief after a long hard grind on
orations, etc.
New lights have been installed in
the English, history and commercial
rooms as these will be the rooms used
for night school which begins this
coming Monday.
It is interesting to note that the
combined rooms of the fourth grade
total 100 pupils. Each Of the two
first grade rooms has A pupils and
the third grade has an equal number.
About dozen new pupils have en-
tered the grades the past week.
Lamoin RAIDER is again enrolled in our
high school, having returned from Bis
marck, where she resided for few
months.
| A large consignment of lumber for
the manual training department was
received the past week. The ship
ment consists of quartered oak, ma
hogany, red cedar, white holly and
walnut. Mr.. Huntington is evidently
planning on starting the boys out in
earnest on practical pieces in the
near future.
The Juniors have made good on
their lyceum course. They have the
money to pay for their entire expense
and are $40 ahead. The first num-
ber on Monday evening, a lecture on
James Whitcomb Riley by Mr.. Ans
barry, was well attended considering,
that several other attractions were
here that same evening.
| Gymnasium work began the past
week for both boys and girls. The
boys are already making plans for
their interscholastic games, which will
probably come off between Thanks
giving and Christmas. Mr.. Gray will
act as supervising coach and Llewellyn
Roquette, a former star on the high
school team, has kindly volunteered
his services, as acting coach. Misses
Harris and Cain, with the assistance
of Miss Turk, will have charge of the
girls work.
The latest scheme that the faculty
has devised for the benefit of the school
children is hot lunch at noon, under
the direction Of Miss Harris. This
lunch will consist of one hot dish, soup
or some other nutritious food, and
served for ten cents. The idea will
be tried out next week, and it is pos
sible that if the proposition is sue
cessful the price may drop from the
ten-cent basis. Children who come a
great distance and have to bring their
lunch, ought to find this very convent
ent.
Nearly half Of our teachers were
present at the N. D. E. A. meeting at
Bismarck last week and it is thought
that our teachers have 100 per cent
membership in the association. Supt.
