NEW IDEAS FROM DISCOURSE

Congressman Tom Stout of Mon
tana, member of the congressional
committee sent to France by the
President to investigate conditions,
gave most thrilling and interesting
lecture last evening at the Armory
auditorium under the auspices Of the
Williston Branch of the Red Cross.
Mr.. Stout while no orator, has the
gift of painting word pictures SO
wildly that he carried his auditors
with him into the trenches in Flan-
ders, and the hearers could almost,
from his description, see the heads of
the Boches who were only forty yards
away in their trenches and dugouts.
The horrors of the war as waged by
the Unspeakable Hun were so well
portrayed that many who were pres
ent gained a clearcut new view Of
the awfulness of the German warfare
and of the dire threat against the
freedom of the people Of the world.
if the German war aims should be
carried out.
The lecture was under the auspices
of the Red Cross and when the ex-
penses had been paid it was found
that $131 had been added to the
treasury Of the society. Mr.. Stout
arrived here late in the evening and
after delivering his address was given
an informal reception. He left this
morning for Plentywood where he
is to give an address today.

Williams county, arrived home the

Trust company at par and at the rate
of 6 per cent. Had they waited an
other few days the bonds could not
have been placed for less than seven

cost the people in additional interest
$4,000. The purchasers of the bonds
also pay for the printing, advertising
and other. expenses pertaining to the

The foresight displayed by the.
committee in going early resulted in,
a big saving, and still another saw

Patriotic Speeches ~
One of the first things on the pro-
gram when the officials had finally
made way thru the great crowd to
the small platform arranged for the
auctioneer, was patriotic address
by Hon. U. l.. Burdick who gave a
most earnest and patriotic plea for
backing the government, and conclud-
ed with verses from Longfellow's
"Ship Of State" In his address he
recounted the conditions of the world
and the factors leading up to the
entry Of the United States into the
war and then detailed the needs of
the nation and the determination of
the people to follow out and prose-
cute to final, successful conclusion
the battle on Militarism.
Frank Hyland of Devils Lake, one
Of the auctioneers, delivered a short
talk and received the closest atten-
tion of the people who packed the
sales rooms from end to end and
from the numbers standing outside
the doors trying to hear what the
speaker was saying.
y Future of the PercherOns
Ellis Mcfarland, secretary Of the
Percheron Society of America, gave
brief and pointed talk on the Out
look for Percherons after the War"
He outlined in terse English the op-
portunities that will be placed before
the people of America when the
European conflict is over, and of the
big chances for the Percheron breed
ers at that time. Particular stress
was placed upon what is believed will
be a demand for percheron mares.

the sales commenced and while prices
