HELP TO PLACE STARS. ON
OUR COUNTY SERVICE FLAG

In every small community within
the confines of the county are to be
found homes where sons and brothers
have lett to serve their country and
flag. In the aggregate, of drafted and
enlisted men between three and four
hundred of Cavalier county's sons
have gone in response to the call of
Uncle Sam. Last week the board of
county commissioners spread upon the
minutes of their meeting a unani-
mously adopted resolution which pro-
vides for county service flag and
the filing as an historic record in the
county archives of list of the names
of all men who have gone from the
county to follow this nations flag.
1t is important as record to be hand
ed down to posterity that this list
should be complete and that star
should be placed upon the service
flag for every man who serves, To
make this complete and obviate the
possibility of a single name being left
off the list, or one star being missing
from the service flag it devolves upon
the relatives of the boys who have gone
to see that the record of their valor
is shown in this list and a star placed
to their credit on the flag. The county
has complete record of the Company
E. boys and those who responded to
the draft, but there are possibly a
hundred or more young men from
Cavalier county homes who have en-
listed in different branches of the
United States army and navy for SER
vice in this great worlds war. 1t is
the last named of these men in which
our county officials seek the co.opera-
tion of every resident of the county in
their effort to have the roster of
Cavalier couuty's patriotic sons COM
plete and free from error. 1t de.
wolves upon the parents, other rela-
tives and the friends of our boys with
the colors to see that none of them are
overlooked now that the time has
come when the names are to be in
scribed on the official honor roll and
the stars affixed to Cavalier county g
service flag. Make it your business 10
see about your share of this personal
responsibility at once. You can either
communicate your information to Co.
Auditor Eide. .or take it up with this
office and it will be properly looked
after for you.

Liberty Bonds Oversubscribed

Cavalier county with its allotment
of 100000 worth of the Third issue
of Liberty Loan war bonds went clear
over the top with total that will
bring the sale of bonds over the
county during the drive of the past
week up to not less than 1925, 600.
ssNot township, village or town in
the entire county but at least had
buyers to take up Liberty Bonds to
the amount which it had been appor-
toned and there are number that
have it to their credit of having over
subscribed their quota.
The response was even surprise
to the most sanguine booster of the
bond sale. In speaking Of the out
come Banker Archie Sillers, of CAL
vim, who was at the head of the cam
paign in this county, stated that two
days after the drive started the sue
cess of the outcome was practically
assured.

Father O'Driscoll Gone to War.

Rev. M. J. O'Driscoll, who had
charge of St. Alponsus church for
some length of time before being
transferred to Grand Forks, where he
was the pastor of St. Mary's church,
has written to several of his old parish
toner's here on his arrival at Liverpool,
England, after an exciting fourteen
days trip across the Atlantic. Father
O'Driscoll has gone overseas to fill
chaplaincy in the army of the Allies
for which he had made application
at the time of his retirement from his
pastorate of St. Mary's church. His
stay in England is expected to be
short as the American Expeditionary
Forces, to which his services have been
assigned reached France shortly after
the first of the year and ihave lately
been advanced close up to the firing
line. Those Intimately acquainted
with the character and energy of
Father O'Driscol] realize that he
surely is fit man to take up this
chosen @service in behalf of his coun-
try and fellow man, under conditions
that render the serving an act which
places in peril the lives of those who
serve,

Ed. Washburn Dies at Camp

News was received In the city the
first part of the week of the death of
Ed. Washburn. formerly bookkeeper
with the Home Implement Company,
but who more recently has been hold
ing a position with the International
Harvester Company, He has for near
ly four months past been at Camp
Dodge. being in Minnesota at the
time he responded to the draft. Death
it is stated was due to an attack of
pneumonia. His parents live in the
western part of this state. Many in
Langdon had an acquaintance with Ed
Washburn sufficient to enable them to
bear testimony to the fine manly
character of one who's passing away
marks the sudden termination of a
useful life at the outset of his career.
l have been asked the question,
"What is a Cavalier County Red
Cross Acre?" The answer is: 1t is
an acre of crop pledged to the Red
Cross chapter of Cavalier county. The
chairmen, boards of supervisors and
the assessors of each township have
been appointed as a committee to
look after the work. The,assessor will
ask for these pledges when he is do
ing his assessors work. By this plan
all of the people will be pledged
alike and each will be doing his fair
share and each township will get
credit for the amount pledged. 1t is
the intention to have the amount
pledged in eacn township together
with the names of the pledgers put ir
the local papers SO that all will know
how their township has Clipped in tc
help our boys at the ssfront. These
pledges will be small compared with
what they are doing for US, but the
amount collected this way will ado
very materially to their comfort and
efficiency. Prizes will be given for
the banner yield per acre in each
township and also for the banner
township, these will be arranged and
decided upon soon.
