What Are You Going to do to Help
The Boys?

Your Uncle Sam is calling now on
every n of you,
If you're too old or young to fight
there's something else to do.
If you have >done a bit before don't
let the matter rest;
For Uncle Sam expects that every
man will do his best.
CHORUS
What r you going to do for Uncle
Sammy?
What are you going to do to help
the boys?
If you mean to stay at home while
they're fighting DER the foam,
The least that you can do is buy a Lii
berty Bond or two.
If you're going to be a sympathetic
miser,
The kind that only lends a lot of
noise,
You're no better than the n who
loves the Kaiser.
So what are you going to do to help
the boys?
It makes no difference who you are
whence you came or how,
Your Uncle Sammy helped you then
and you must help him now.
Your brothers will be fighting for
your freedom over there,
And if you love the Stars and Stripes
then you must do your share.

Carl Krogen Dead.

The sad news that Carl Krogen had
passed away on Monday evening,
shortly after six o'clock after a few
days sickness with plural pneumonia,
cast a gloom over the entire commun-
ity.
Carl Krogen was born near Star
buck, Mimi, on March 9, 1882 and
came to Bottineau county with his
parents while yet a young boy and
settled on the homestead northeast of
Carbury where he lived up to the
time of his marriage. Deceased was
united in marriage to Clara Sivertson
on Dec. 10, 1907 and since then this
young couple lived in their farm 6
miles north Of Carbury. Five children
came to bless this union, Margaret,
Orlando, Clarris, Victoria and baby
Stella.
Mr.. Krogen was a man filled with
sterling qualities and he lived a life
filled with honest toll which gained
him the good will of his fellew men.
He was known for his true home de-
votion and father love. By this latter
quality he has won for himself in the
hearts and memories Of his dear ones,
a devotion, a bond of love which will
never be broken.
Besides his wife and children he
leaves to mourn his death a father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. John P
Krogen, one brother, Julius, and five
sisters, Mrs. M. E. Moen, Mrs. J. j.
Olson, Mrs. Adolph Noun and Min
ME and Anna Krogen.
The funeral will be held Thursday
at 1900 o'clock from the house and
at 100 o'clock from the Turtle Noun
tain church, Rev. Redahl officiating.
Interment will be made in the ceme-
terry at the church.

said that if the commission will allow
the changes proposed, which, il is ha.

extensive investigation by Congress. il
that plan should be proposed, to de-
termine what steps should be taken for
permanent relief and to guarantees a

subscribers for all time.

Public to Make Direct Case.

1t is probable that, after the commits
sion's experts have testified, the public
will insist on making direct case in the
| telephone proceedings. Representatives of
| trade and civic bodies and the public at
large took a prominent part in the cross
examination of T. p. Sylvan, the only wit
ness introduced by the company, and they
probably will ask to put on a number of
witnesses toward the end of the inquiry.
Such request, If made, will be granted
by the commission.
From the storm of protests that greet
| ed the company's proposal to eliminate
the unlimited service and increase rates
| on other schedules there has been de-
Seloped a noticeable improvement in
feeling toward the company's position
on the part of the public representatives

In the company's claims. but it has
grown to the extent of manifesting a
better appreciation of the difficulties
confronting the company The more
ienient attitude of the public may be
said to have reached the climax Of its
expression yesterday afternoon when
Edward E. Clement, in the course of
cross-examining Mr.. Sylvan, said he
realized that the company is confronted
by serious financial and equipment diff
hculties and that the object of his uues
tions was to develop a plan, If any is
feasible, whereby immediate improve-
ment in service may be effected without
placing an unreasonable burden on the

May Also Transport Food.

It Is pointed out that while the boats
would come down from Cumberland
laden with coal, their decks would be
available for the transportation of hun
dreds of tons of produce which could
be shipped as satisfactorily by this
route as by rail. thus aiding in pre-
venting congestion on the railroads in
the war crisis.
Representative J. Hampton Moore of
pennsylvania, who yesterday intro
duced bill for the taking over of the
canal by the government, believes the
measure will receive the approval of
Congress. He has found warm sup
port for 1t already from members Of
era1 agreement that the canal as at
present operated represents an eco
nomic waste, and that its possibilities
should be made full use of by the gov
ornment during the war.
Mr.. Moore estimates that II the gov
ernment will supply 800 barges in addi-
tion to the 81 operated last year by the
company the number will be sufficient
to bring to Washington approximately
million tons of coal a year The
question Is. Can the additional boats be
commandeered from canals in other
parts of the country or will it be nee
essary to construct them. There are
eeventy-eight locks between Wash
ington and Cumberland. and they will
not admit barges having a length of
more than ninety feet or a beam ex-
eeeding fourteen feet. 1t is apparent
therefore. that unless boats Of these
dimensions, or smaller ones, can be
round the government will have to con-
struct new barges in order to put the
canal to its full use.
