Gets the Worst of Still
Another Deal.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 13.-Imme-
lately following the speedy release Of
w. S. Shaw. president of the Minot
city commission, in connection with

MEMBERS OF FIRE DEPT.
HOLD ENJOYABLE SMOKER
Excellent Supper Followed by
Speeches Form Part of Even
ing of Rare Pleasure

Last Saturday evening those pass
ing the Fred Saunders tailoring es-
tablishment were ready to sound the
alarm for fire until halted by bet
ter informed pedestrian who impart-
ed the information that the volume
of smoke which so startled them re-
suited from the Smoker which the
Fallon Volunteer Fire Department
was then enjoying in the banquet
hall of the Saunders store.
There may have been a time in the
long ago when such affairs as that
of Saturday night were privileged to
be called smokers, but after a glance
at the tables groaning under the
weight of good eats and listening to
the flights of oratory then why not
term it fittingly. No other organi-
zation excels this one in the matter
of providing social functions with
all the choicest embroidery and no
other body of young men is more
deserving of the best that the COM
munity can offer than they who are
in fact the real protectors of its
property interests.
In the party of twenty or more
who assembled in the midst of the
smoke were several who proved to
possess latent ability as after dinner
speakers, our typewriter almost
called it post prandial, but by what
ever name the talks were good and
covered the widest range, the speak
ers as the smokes and other things
were consumed not fearing even to
discuss the proposed Alliance of Ma
tions.
Among the speakers were George
Russell of Elko one of the honored
guests of the evening, Senator w. A
Keddie, Hi Shellard and others who
requested that their names be not
mentioned. Tony Castelton new
member received his iniatory degree
which he accepted with fortitude.
Credit is due c. J. Sutherland for
the completeness of the table ar
rangements and also for the neat
finish he added to the tableware the
following morning.
As is customary on such occasions
there was toastmaster and for this
Charley Cress most worthily fillcs
the office he being but twice credited
with presenting to the gathering the
right man by wrong name, record
so unusual as to bring forth many
compliments.
1t was useless to attempt to dis
guise the hour of adjournment as
some of the party were met by those
who were responding to the call of
the church bells for the morning
service and by these believed to be
also on their way to the quiet pre-
eincts of the church.

IS YOUR NAME INSCRIBED
ON THE RED CROSS ROLL
Great Humanitarian Organization is
Making an Appeal for Men,
bers This Week

Another Christmas finds many of
our boys away from home. Although
they are no longer engaged in war
fare, they are nevertheless in need
of a friend. As long as the Red
Cross endures our boys will be sure
of that friend. There will be no
emergency too great for the Red
Cross to meet.
How are the boys going TO spend
this Christmas so far from friends
and family? Well, the Red Cross is
prepared, by some magic means, to
give them a regular old-fashioned
Christmas. In every hospital there
will be tree. Every single man is
going to have a regular visit from
Santa Claus and get, not only a
stocking full of presents, but a
brand new pair of warm, wooden
socks stuffed with good things. In
the cantonments across the sea not
single man will be overlooked
Every man, through the medium of
the Red Cross, will receive a Xmas
package. 1t is making the spirit of
Christmas warm the heart of every
man, woman and child until the hor-
rors of the great struggle fade from
sight and only vision of fellowship
is left.
The glories accomplished in the
past year are only part of the story
Today the Red Cross stands ready
to face a greater year, to accomplish
greater things than ever before.
Never, so long as the sun shines, will
the Red Cross falter where there is
need, but will continue so long as
there is a man homeless and friend
less across the seas. and to meet him
at the dock when he again sets foot
on his native alnd.
And best of all the Red Cross is
giving you and me chance TO aid
In the dispensing of human happi-
ness. The Christmas Roll Call is
not drive for money, but for mem
bers. The dollar is only the outward
sign of the inward spirit. This can
not be a real Christmas to any of us
unless we have answered the Roll
Call.
Let us answer this Roll Call and
make this Peace Christmas the hap
piest and best of them all.

D. A. W|LDES PASSES
AWAY AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS
Resident of State for Thirty Years
and of Churchill County Six
teen Years

The news of the death of Dexter
Asa Wildes last Monday from pleuro

to his large number of friends in
this section as his illness was brief

health.
Deceased who was more familiar
ly known as Dick Wildes was a
brother of the late Mark L. Wildes

13, 1866, and was So years of age
at the time of his death. He came

engaged in ranching in this county
about three miles southeast of town.

J. w. FLOOD WILL ERECT
STRUCTURE FOR STORES

No better evidence of the conf
dence felt by the shrewd investor in
the growth of the city than in the
purpose of ]. w. Flood to begin at
once the construction of a two store
building on the lot adjoining the
Rex theater.
The lot is 40x50 and the present
intention is to erect a one-story
structure with walls of suitable
strength to carry a second story
which will be added Immediately up
ON reduction in the war prices of
building material. Both stores are
already reserved for tenants as are
also the upper stories which are to
be adapted for apartments. The
architect is expected here any day to
plan the stores to suit the require
ments of the prospective tenants.

CRANKY FORD BRINGS
GRIEF TO JACK PORTER

If that foremost advocate of nom
eombatitiyeness Henry Ford of De-
troit had inventive genius sufficient
to instill into the contrivances which
he produces at the rate of about one
a minute, a portion of the same
anti-belligerent spirit Jack Porter
would not today be nursing broken
arm as the result of an attempt to
crank one of the pesky cars. The
happening occurred last Thursday
and adept as he is in the handling
of a Ford the what may be always
expected happened and the crank
flew back with the resultant effect.

SPIRITED BASKET BALL
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT
Loyelock Victor i'm Close and Excit-
ing Game With Local High
School Team

If the members of the Sparks
High school basket ball team which
is to meet the Churchill County
High School team next Saturday
night were present at the scrappy
game of last Saturday between our
local boys and Loveloek they would
doubtless cut some of their class
periods during the ensuing days and
devote the stolen time to practice.
There may have been games
where the extreme finer points of
basket ball were more frequently in
evidence but for a game combining
the more appealing features of
downright grit and excellent team
work that of Saturday evening GER
tainly provided these in overfowing
measure.
If there were in that audience
any who previous to the game had
the impression that basket ball is an
exercise in calesthenics suitable only
for maids of gentle physique they
certainly before the close of the first
half of the game banished the
thought. We have witnessed foot
ball scrimmages where the display
of Drawn and gameness was no more
apparent than in this spirited battle
and Prof Nutten and our people
may well be proud of the boys who
carry the colors of the school.
OF the game it may be said, al
though seemingly eontradictorily,
that the Loyelock boys were entitled
to their victory, which they won by
the narrow margin of one point, and
that the local team deserved TO win.
from beginning to end of the fierce
contest every point was dearly won
as the score which was 26 to 25 In
favor of the visiting team would in
dicate.
II seems almost unfair toward a
team In which every member played
the game for every ounce there was
IN him 10 single out any one of
them for special mention yet too
much cannot be said in praise of the
palying of Harmon who
was on top of the ball when ever
possible and for that matter on top
of the other fellow too when IL was
necessary to save the day for his
team. When the ball was once with
In his grasp 1t was there for keeps
so far as any attempt of the Love-
lock player to pry 1t loose was con-
cerned and his success in making
goals was responsible for a generous
to the score
And for the encouragement of the
friends of the local team in their flu
ture contests 1t should be said that
the team was minus several of its
star players. The Lovelock team is
a splendid organization, their team
work showing the effect of constant
practice and of their group of play
ers Sullivan the forward is easily
the star. He was throughout the
game the most dangerous man on
the team and when the ball came
within his reach he was a most for
foe.
As a curtain raiser game be-
tween the grammar school boys and
the High School midgets brought to
light a number of promising candi-
dates for honors on the senior team,
the contest being full of action from
beginning to end.
Next Saturday evening In the
High School auditorium in addition
to the contest between the boys
team and Sparks the girls team will
have a return game with Lovelock
from whom they scored two weeks
ago, and this game will undoubtedly
provide enough thrills to satisfy
lovers of basket ball.

says the inclusion of these animals
was an error and that he fayors the
