Big union MEET At
FRYBURG SATURDAY

The fall meeting of the Tri-County
Farmers Cooperative & Educational
Union will be held at the Ecklund
grove, north of Fryburg, Saturday,
August 25th Union delegates and
visitors from Stark, Dunn and Bill
ings county will be present and an en-
joyable and profitable session is an
ticipated. Several able speakers have
been secured for the occasion, and
these will be supplemented with
music by the Frybrug band
The Farmers Union is growing by
leaps and bounds in this section Of
the state and has been the result of
much good to it's farm members.
Cooperation and organization has be-
come the watchword in all lines of
business endeavor, and this should be
the rule, rather than the exception,
with the farmers. Better marketing
conditions always go hand in hand
with cooperation on the part of the
producers.

Boy Hero
Eight-Year-Old Risks Life to
Save Brother From
Burning Barn.

An eight-year-ol son of Carl Beck
man is proposed as a candidate for
a Carnegie medal as result of the
heroism he displayed when at the
risk of his own life he rescued his
little brother from a burning barn at
A!midon. The youngsters had climbc,!
into the haymow to investigate new
born family of kittens, and in order
that they might have a better view
OF the babies, one of the children
lighted a match. A moment later the
NOV was q sheet of flames. Every
one scrambled for the ladder, and the
little tot in the excitement was over
looked. When the eight year-old boy
discovered that his baby brother was
missing he found his way back
through the fire and rescued the half
suffocated youngster.

Blue Sunday
Attorney General Insists Hunt
ing Season Does Not
Open Until Sept. II.

Attorney General William S.
LANCER has advised deputy game
wardens throughout the state that
they will be held accountable for the
strict enforcement of S. B. 137, pro-
hibiting shooting or hunting on the
first day of the week.
He also has delivered an opinion to
the effect that the bird season this
year will open Monday. September II,
and not Sunday, September 16, as has
been the general impression. He
makes this ruling on the grounds that
no hunting or shooting can legally
be done on the Sabbath.
When Senator Hamilton drew up
S. B. No. 1877, designed particularly
to legalize Sunday baseball, he con-
sented to the inclusion in committee
of clause legalizing Sunday shoot
ing. The house jumped on that
clause, and when the numerous laws
governing the Sabbath finally went to
Governor Frazier for his signature
none Of them expressly permitted
shooting on Sunday, while S. N. No.
1877 read: Gail shooting, sporting,
horse racing or other public sports on
the first day Of the week are prohlb-
ited."
Sportsmen the state over, especially
city folk, who have been compelled to
do most of their shooting on the first
day of the week, are up in arms. A
jack pot is being formed with which
to fight prosecutions for Sunday
shooting, and members of this close
little organization are understood to
have bound themselves to hunt when
they please and bid the deputy game
wardens go to blazes.
Up to Game Board.
$50 far as the fish and game board
is concerned, we are inclined to be-
lieve that the bird season opens Sun
day, September 49," said Secretary
George NJ. Hogue today. "The facts
that the season chances to open on
Sunday and that shooting is prohlb-
tied on Sunday are matters for the
states attorneys and the sportsmen
to consider. So far as l know, our
deputies have not been instructed to
arrest men for violations Of the Sun
day laws. I talked with Attorney
General LANCER and he seemed to
agree that the enforcement of the
Sunday laws was up to the states
attorneys and not the game wardens.
He denied having issued instructions
to deputy game wardens which have
been attributed to him.
The matter as between the attorney
general and the game and fish board
seems to be rather hazy. The attor-
ney general is a member of the
board. It was reported on good au-
thority that he had advised deputy
game wardens that Sunday shooting
could not be permitted. That report
brought hornets nest buzzing
around the ears of the attorney gen
cral, and he sidestepped with COM
plete denial. AS a member of the
game board he is not interested in
Sunday observance. AS chief peace
officer of the state he is, and it was
in his latter capacity, he is said to
declare, that his orders were issued.

FUEL FAMINE IN
SIGHT; COUNCIL
WIRES CONGRESS

DR.: V. II. Stickney, chairman of the
North Dakota state council of defense,
is taking an active interest in the
coal situation and has Just returned
from Chicago, where he represented
the state at conference Of the ma
tIonal council Of defense, at which
thirteen states were represented, three
OF them by their governors. Dr..
Stickney states, and has wired repre-
sentatlves in congress to that effect,
that the eastern part of the state of
North Dakota is now million tons
short of it's nominal supply of coal.
The coal situation in the eastern part
of the state is becoming more serious
every day and the dealers are unable
to get eastern coal. AS chairman of
the council of defense, DR.. Stickney
has made a careful study of the fuel
situation and is taking the matter
up with congress in the hope that the
present conditions may be remedied
to some extent.
In the western part of the state
the situation is not so serious. The
mines west Of the river are in
splendid shape for the seasons work
and coal prices will advance slightly
on account of the increase in the cost
Of labor and machinery, which in
crease, according to the council Of
defense, is not unreasonable or un-
warranted.
DR.. Stickney also wired the chair
man of the wheat price fixing board
to the effect that the North Dakota
council of defense protests against a
fixed price for wheat of less than
$500 per bushel, and that a lower
price would mean that the farmer
would make no profit on this years
crop and it would discourage the
raising of wheat in 1918.

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX
NEXT YEAR A SMALL ITEM

Little, il any, personal tax will be
paid in North Dakota next year,
states State Auditor Kositzky. TO
get on the personal tax lists for even
SO little as Sc the Individual, under
North Dakota's new tax schedule,
must own at least 100 worth OF
household furniture personal goods.
On S1,1O0 worth Of household goods,
which is more than the average citi-
zen owns, the assessed valuation
would be $55, the new rate being 5
per cent, and Of this amount the indi-
vidual would be entitled to $50 cx-
emptlon, leaving the value upon which
he would pay taxes S..

Local Young Man
At COntOnnlent
, In Sunny South

Sergeant Chever Cameron of the
North Dakota quartermaster corps, is
now located at the new cantonment
at Petersburg, Va, according TO re-
cent letter received from him by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Cameron
of this city. The entire enlisted per-
sonnel of the quartermaster corps
has been called into active service at
Petersburg, where the North Dako-
tans have been attached to the 47th
New York for rations and quarters
pending the completion of the perm
anent barracks. A portion of Serg-
cant Cameron's interesting letter fol-
lows:
ARRIVED in the beautiful city of
Petersburg August 18th. The city is
an old-fashioned southern town of
about $4,000, forty miles from Rich
mond by street car and eighty miles
from Norfolk. Haven't been around
the town much so don't know much
about it. I reported at the camp
yesterday morning. The camp is
called Camp Lee and will be the big
gest cantonment camp in the United
States. There are twelve thousand
men working night and day, Sundays
and all, putting up the barracks and
store houses. The camp is about five
by seven miles square, so you can
readily see it is some camp. The
troops will start coming in about the
first of September and there will be
about forty-fve thousand in all. The
buildings are fne-good beds, baths
and conveniences of all kinds. Our
quarters are not up yet so we are
quartering with the 47th New York.
The car line runs out to camp so we
can come in any time we want to.
"Had a good trip down. Passed
through St. Paul, Chicago, Cincinnati
tt, Portsmouth, and came through the
mountains of West Virginia down to
Petersburg. The scenery in West
Virginia was certainly great. The
New York quartermaster corps is the
only bunch here so far, about twenty
of them. There will be about hum
dred of us when the supplies start
coming in about the first. l don't
know what our work will consist Of
yet. We start in Monday, work from
1880 to 1870 p. M, and from LOO to
4:30 p. M"

BIG CROWD ATTENDS
CORNER STONE LAYING

Fully 1000 people gathered at New
Hradec last Sunday to attend the
ceremony and exercises in connection
with the laying Of the corner stone of
the new church and parochial school
building, which is now under course
Of construction.
The Rt. Rev. Abbott Plazidus, O. S.
B., of St. Mary's Abbey at Richardton,
laid the cornerstone in the absence of
Bishop Wehrle, and he was assisted
by F'r. B. F. Tomanec, parish priest
Of St. Peter and Paul's church, Fr.
Theissen of Manning, FIR. Alphonse
HEM of St. Joseph's hospital, Joseph
Peleska, teacher in the pcrochial
school, and others. Father Tomanec
made a very forceful speech in Bo-
hemian, and Father Abbott Plazidus
followed with a talk in English in
which he stated that Bishop Wehrle
was unable to be present on account
of pressing duties elsewhere
Others in attendance from the varl-
GUS parishes in the Slope county were
Frs. Hake and Aberle of St. Joseph's
church in Dickinson, FIR. Regenseberg-
er Of New England, FIR. Ruemenapp Of
Schefield.
Music throughout the day was
furnished by the Dickinson band and
the choir from St. Patrick's church
rendered several selections.
During the day the ladies served
meals and conducted a novelty fair
which netted them neat little sum
which will be used in the church
building fund. A dance was enjoyed
in the afternoon and until s o'clock
in the evening in a large pavilion
which had been erected for the pur-
pose.
The church building will be rushed
to completion as rapidly as possible,
Contractor Bakhe ALREADY having qT1se ute
contract price is nearly $4,000 and
when completed it will be one of the
finest buildings in this section Of the
country. 1t will probably be ready
for the parochial school by the first
Of the coming year

PRESIDENT OF new.
DICKINSON NORMAL
NOT YET APPOINTED

E. J. Taylor, former state superin-
tendent of public instruction, has not
been appointed president Of the new
Dickinson normal school-at least not
yet. The Press CLEANED it's informa-
tion for the article published last
week from the directory of state and
institution officers, published by State
Auditor Kositzky, but we were later
advised by this gentleman that an
error had been made in the compila-
ton of the directory.
Mr.. Taylor writes the Press that
the president of Dickinson's new in
stitution will in all probability not be
named until early. next year, just
prior to the opening of the school.
Perhaps the Board of Regents may
name Mr.. Taylor president after ALL,
and the error in the state directory
turn out to be a fact in the end.

GOVERNMENT and
HORSE OWNERS TO
Do own DEALING

The War Department has decided to
buy horses direct from the farmers
and breeders if the farmers and
breeders will meet the Department s
specifications in the matter.
The new method will in d large
measure do away with the contractor
and his commission. The farmer will
be able to receive more for the horses
than he is getting at the present
time If there is a spread of $45 to
$S5 difference between what the War
Department has been paying and
what the farmer has been receiving
per animal it will well pay those hav>
ing horses of this class for sale to
get together Immediately and find out
how many horses they have to sell
and notify the proper officers
Anyone wishing to know what the
War Department has been paying for
horses of the different classes may do
so by writing the Quartermaster Cen
eral, u. S. Army, Washington, D. c.
The proper method of procedure
will be for the farmers to organize
and ascertain what they can furnish,
agree upon price to offer and COM
municate the offer to the remount Of
ficer in this district If the offers are
entertained the remount officer will
advise when an inspector will come to
see the animals It is important in
the offer to state precisely where ami
mails may be shown at some good rail-
way point and to be sure that they
will be assembled in sanitary stable
and otherwise to conform to the. re-
quirements of the War Department
. Needless to say those that deal with
the government should do so on a
high plane, fairly and openly. They
should offer only high class animals.
This is an experiment in new
method, Of the government dealing
directly with farmers and in order
that it may be continued, farmers
must prove its worth both to the gov
ernment and themselves. a
