that has ever been sent out at one
time. All of US have d bright rec
objection Of the first fourteen days

quarantine and not allowed to
leave the barracks area. However,
some at their own risk, who wanted
to see aud learn more OF Camp
Pike, ventured out and were caught
up with, receiving sentence of ex-
ira duty on the woodpile, or maybe

LIFE SNOT n
Game sGhance

The person who goes under the i'm
preston that life is game of chance is
going to get beaten. Life is what we
make it, and if yon want to get the best
out of it you have to watch the corners.
For instance if you want to enjoy what
you buy, and at the same time do not
want to pay exhorbitant prices, you
must look around and find who is selling
the best goods at the most reasonable
prices.

DISCOVERED COSTLY JOKER" IN
THE MERGER BILL.

A provision which might cost the
people of Kentucky $1,000,000 an
nually for the maintenance of county
boards of health was discovered in
the bill merging the State Board of
Health, the tuberculosis Commission,
the Hotel Inspector and the Pure
Food and Drug Department, which
passed the Senate several days ago.
The bill as drawn and as it passed

of health to spend annually for it's

half of one mill for each dollar Of
the assessed valuation of the
county.
On the estimated assessment Of
the State of Kentucky, $2,000,OO0,-
600, this would mean an expenditure
of $1,O00,000.
Incidently, the bill abolishes the
Office of health officer in Louisville
and removes matters of public health
from under the supervision of the
Board of Public Safety. In lieu of
the city health department, it pro-
vides for a city board of health Of
six members to be elected by the gen.
eral council. The same provisions
apply also to second class cities.
The bill further provides that III
counties containing cities of the first

point one assistant for every ten

TURNING OVER OUR TROOPS
TO NEW HEAD OF THE ARMIES

" " T. " hLlD VI
A good deal Of misunderstanding
has resulted regarding the turning
over of the American troops to Cen
eral Foch for use where he might de-
sire and some people have the idea,
encouraged, it must be admitted with
regret. by the insinuations OF certain
writer's. that our soldiers were not in
a position to fight until this formal
turning over took place
A moments thought must enable any
one to understand that for weeks
prior to the formal action, Americans
held several sectors of trenches, par
ticfpated in raids, took prisoners and
were ready to stand the brunt of Ger
man assault had it been made on their
sectors instead of along the line al
Amiens.
The turning over to one supreme
commander the management of all
the armies on the western front was
the elimination Of the urgent recon-
mendations made to the allied war
council by the American military rep
resentative5 appointed by President
Wilson, who insisted that authority
be definitely concentrated. Up to that
time while the French commander
was nominally the head of the armies
on the west front he was not so by

Daughters of Norway Surprise Mrs

The Daughters of Norway arranged
very pleasant surprise party for
their sister member, Mrs. John Lee, of
North Prairie last Friday, the occas-

The company met at the home Of
Mrs. Carrie Balerud and were taken

course supper was served by Mrs.

Musical numbers interspersed the

group of violin solos by Mrs. Lee, who
is a musician of ability.

given with the fine shading which took
away all abruptness and brought the
audience down to earth. AS an en-
core, he played Chaminade's Scarf
Dance.
To choose between Miss Beulah
Mowers double number and Miss
Maxine Stewards performance Of
Hieler's F-sharp Concerto would be
difficult indeed. Both young people
are artists to their finger tips. No
passage given by either one showed
any technical difficulties. OF the two
compositions, the F-sharp Concerto
is the more brilliant and fascinating,
perhaps, and demands more of the
performer. Certainly it's demands
were satisfied. It was perfectly given
and so surely interpreted that it was
understood, even by those who were
hearing it for the first time. With
Miss Teigen's able support at the sec
ond piano, it was no doubt the big
number of the evening.
In Godard's Valse Chromatique Miss
Mowers gave delicate and accurate
performance, but one remembers it
less wildly because it was so over
Swallowed by the beauty of her Libes-
traum. In that she made an equal
claim for first honors with Miss Max
inc Stewart. The soft distinctness Of
the melody against the ripple of the
accompaniment, the clear sweetness
of the cadenzas and the sympathy Of
tone marked it in everyone's memory.
These two young ladies are making
history in Minot in lifting attainment
and appreciation of music out Of mere
popularity into real worth.
The pianists were very ably as
sisted by Miss Doris Kemper and Miss
Amanda Hamre. Miss Kemper's abil-
ity as reader is too well known to
Minot audiences to need higher praise
than that she read as truly and con-
