Why you should give twice
as much as you ever gave
before!
The need is for a 70 per cent greater than
any gift asked for since the world began. The
Government has fixed this at $170500,O00.
BY giving to these seven organizations all at once,
the cost and effort of six additional campaigns is
saved
Unless Americans do give twice as much as ever
before, soldiers and sailors may not enjoy during
1919 their
5000 Recreation Buildings
1000 Miles of Movie Film
100 Leading Stage Stars
1000 Athletic Directors
$500 Libraries supplying 100000 books
S5 Hostess Houses
$4,000 Big-brother secretaries"
Millions of dollars of home comforts
When you give double, you make sure that every
fighter has the cheer and comforts of these seven
organizations every step of the from home to the
front and back again. You provide him with
church, theatre, cheerful home, store, school,
club and athletic feld-and knowledge that the
folks back home are with him, heart and soul!
You have loaned your money to supply their
physical needs.
Now give to maintain the Morale that is winning
the war;

Answers CALL
Well known MinOt Young Man Died
This Morning Following Long H.
ness-Euneral to be Held
Sunday.

Ray J. Scofeld, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. P. Scotield, passed away at
nine o'clock this morning, following
long illness from diabetes.
The funeral will probably be held
Sunday, depending upon the time of
arrival Of his brother, Harold, who 10
now ON his way from Seattle, WASH,
where he is receiving training for an
Ensign in the U. S. Navy. He will
arrive Saturday afternoon.
A sister, Mrs. Chester jacobson,
wife OF we'll known Minot aviator,
who is stationed in southern Californ-
ia, has been notified Of the sad death,
time for the funeral.
Mr.. Scoiield had been i'll for many
months and he had been treated by
the most renowned specialists, who,
however, could not give him much en-
couragement. He showed some i'm
provement, however, and until a short
time ago, was at his desk at the court
house, where he held the position of
deputy county auditor for several
years. A few days ago he failed
rapidly, and for the past two days
his death was expected almost NOM
entarily.
The funeral will be held Sunday it
is expected, from the St. Leo's Catho-
lie church and the remains will be in
tered in the Catholic cemetery. Rev.
Father Raith will have charge of the
services. The Knights of Columbus
and the Minot Lodge No. 1889, 3. P.
o. Elks will attend the last sad rites
in body.
Mr.. Scofield was born at Minot
twent-eight years ago and spent his
entire life here. He graduated
from the Minot High School and later
attended St. Thomas College for two
years taking a business course. He
was deputy county auditor for years
and held the positions of city treas
urer as well as treasurer Of the Mi
not Special school district.
Mr.. Scotield was married seven
years ago to Miss Helen Haley Of
Dixon, Ill. and to this union one son
was born, Harold, who is six years of
age. The wife and son survive. The
deceased is also survived by his par
ents and by one brother, Harold, and
three sisters, Mrs. Myrtle O'Leary,
wife of J. j. O'Leary, well known Fox
holm banker; Mrs. Mae jacobson, wife
of Chester Jacobson, the aviator, and
Gladys, who has been employed in
the Minot postoffice for years.
Mr.. Scofield was well known thru
out the Northwest. He was model
young man and he lived a good clean
life. Every page in the story of his
life might well be scanned by all. He
was a dutiful son, a kind husband
and father. He was capable and in
dustrious and his untimely death
leaves a void which can never be fill
ed. The members of the family have
the sincerest sympathy of all.

Soldier Writes MinOt Girl About
Mexican Battle

Miss Desty Hackett, member of the
independents press force, received an
letter from soldier
friend. who was engaged in the fight
with the Mexicans at Nogales, Ariz.,
He tells about the fight
in very interesting manner. where
two American officers and eighteen
privates and citizens were shot, some
of whom were killed. He declared
that the Mexicans lost fully 300 and
they evidently "got their tcmmy fnlP'
of shooting. The Mexicans thoC they
would catch the Americans mapping,
and they did-almost, for Nogales
was guarded with but three compaA-
les of soldiers and only half of them
had shells. The others, however,
scattered out and for rs hours eN-
shots with the greasers. The
soldier who wrote the letter could see
the Mexicans dropping here and there,
A truck train soon arrived with. am
munition.
'Mexican bullets sang Home Sweet
Home all around US and one man got
one thru his hat" he wrote. All
kinds of guns are lined up along the
border and the Americans are ready
for the greasers if they want any
more trouble.

Minot Men Have Experience With An
Ungratcful Farmer.

A. F. Bacon and E. Kvam thot they
would do their bit, so the other day
journeyed to farm eleven miles
southeast of Minot, where they put in
the afternoon at shocking. The auto
driver who took them out had to re-
turn, but they thot they would surely
get ride back to the city. They
worked like Trojans all afternoon,
without pay. They didn't really de-
sire or expect any remuneration, but
thot surely that they would get a
handout in the evening. They We're
surprised to see chat the table was Set
for only the three members Of the
farmers family. When the days
work was done the farmer didn't even
thank them for their work, neither did
he offer them bite to eat, and altho
he had an auto sitting in the yard, he
let them trudge their weary way to
Minot. They arrived at the poor
farm, weary and footsore, at mid
night, and telephoned to John Roell,
who went out after them. This is the
first farmer the Independent has run
across who apparently does not ap-
preciate assistance.

racy which will stand the test of this
and future ages.
Emil Hendrickson from Washing
ton organizer Of the Mine Workers,
in his brief talk, praised organized
labor of Minot for the splendid turn
out, and said that he hopes that this
is the beginning Of a new day to the
toilers of North Dakota. He brought
greetings from the trade unions of
the state of Washington saying that
the city Of Seattle is now one Of the
best organized large cities in the
North American continent, and made
the claim that in Seattle they are
building ships, under union condi-
tlons, faster than in any other ship
building port. He claimed that the
only hope of the workers is in organ
lzatlon, as individual workmen are
helpless against the powerful corpor-
atlons. There is no equality of bar
gaming when workman with his
empty stomach is pitted against the
big, powerful corporations. He can
only get justice by organizing and
selling his labor power collectively.
He said that he has been royalty
received while at Minot, which is
more than what he received in Noon
an, where he was given five minutes
to leave the town.
Some Of the employers are not liv-
ing up to the agreement that they
made with the government and organ
lied labor, in which organized labor
agreed to dispense with one of their
greatest weapons-the strickland
employers agreed not to deny the
workmen their right to organize.
He claimed that organized labor in
this great war is doing more than it's
share, and will so continue, and hoped
that when this war is over the curse
of militarism will be wiped away, not
only in Germany but throughout the
world, and hoped that the human race
then will be able to live in peace and
happiness.
The last speaker, Robert Pollock,
an organizer for the United Mine
Workers of America, recounted his
experiences as a miner, detailing his
life from the time he entered the en-
ploy OF an eastern mining corporation
back in the days before organized
ooI HAS assumed Iue prominence IL
now occupies in the councils of the
government.
He, too, pledged that with the min
ers of North Dakota one hundred per
cent organized they would produce
more coal with an eight hour day
than they had been producing in ten
OR twelve hour day. He said this
seemed absurd, but. cited the case of
Alabama, where this is being accom-
plished under organization now as
compared with no organization in the
past. .a ,, ..
He said the purpose Of the United
Mine Workers was to develop suffic-
lent strength to put over anything for
which they stand. He told some of
his experiences as an organizer and
pointed out the change in sentiment
among operators when they under
stand the purposes which the organ
lzation sought to accomplish. He said
the Mine Workers understood the op-
orator must have profit on his bus
mess and must have fair remunera-
tion for his services and business
management, and that all the miners
sought was a decent wage which
would allow them to live in comfort
and save competency for old age
which would prevent them from being
buried in the poter's field when they
