SMALL FRENCH GIRL
IS VERY GRATEFUL
ORPHAN ADOPTED BY MOSCOW
PEOPLE WRITES BEAUTIFUL
LETTER OF THANKS

| One of the prettiest specimens OF
writing even seen here is that of a
letter written in French by French
orphan girl Of IL years to whom
money was sent by Moscow people
who had adopted her. The writing
is in French but it is the most evenly
written and perfectly spaced letter
one can imagine. The letter has been
translated for The Star-Mirror and
will be read with interest by those
liberal people who are contributing to
help support these orphans whose
fathers were slain by the Huns. The
letter follows:
Bourbon, Lancy,
July 10, 1918.
Madame:
l am going to thank you with all
my heart for what you have been SO
kind to send me. I am very happy,
especially because mama will be
greatly relieved (much more content
ed) and, will have less anxiety in car
ing for my little brother and me. My
us, for we cannot. help her now except
in our spare time. She works at the
hospital and go to school every day
so I can scarcely help her any at home.
l wish l knew better how to tell
you (make you understand) how much
thank you for your generosity.
wish I were able also to tell you how
much we love your soldiers. Mother
wishes me to express her thanks to
you.
send you, Madame, with Gall N.Y.
my deepest respect and affection, my
greetings.
Marie Trizot.
Accompanying the letter is the fol-
owing explanatory note written by one
Of the women of the society which
is doing this splendid work for the
French orphans of the war:
The Junior and intermediate girls
# the Christian church are in receipt
If very interesting little letter from
heir adopted war orphan, Marie
Erizot.
1t will be of interest to Moscow
itizens because it not only expresses
he gratitude Of the French people
oward those Of US in America who ;
re trying to make life little easier
or them, but also indorses much that
We have heard before about the atti-
ude of France toward our soldiers in

Coming from a child of twelve l
ears it rings with sincerity. This is (
beautifully written letter in an i
ven, precise childish hand. It is ad- t
ressed to Miss Alma Lauder, be- h
ause the money for maintenance was d
ant in her name. i
This letter was unusually quick in G
oming, as So far, few have come p
nder six months from the time Of c
ending the first remittance, while S

tached. The engine weighs $3.50
pounds and the driver sits right up
over the plows so that he can watch
their work all the time. A demon

engines pulling a binder, the driver
sitting on the binder seat with the
engine in front of him. Drills or
other farm machinery may be driven
in the same manner. This tractor has

TRACTOR NOTES

It's hard to give any particular per-
son credit for the success OF the DEM
onstration, but it is certain that 1T
would not have been success with
out crowd and crowd could not
have been secured without advertis-
ing. Will H. Holbein, secretary OF
the Association of Commerce handled
the advertising and secured the as
sistance of the various tractor COM
panies and newspapers in getting the
matter before the public. Mr.. Hol-
bein demonstrated that he is a past
master in the advertising game.
All tractor men on the ground are
favorable to annual tractor demon
stration at Minot.
Politics were tabooed at the tractor
meet. The tractor men and farmers
were there for business alone.
Ted Whitman, by his foresight brot
over $4OO worth of business to the
Red Cross Wednesday afternoon by
establishing refreshment stand on
the starting line.
The Association of Commerce had
an information bureau tent on the
grounds, until the high wind of to-
day blew it down.
The Advanced umely Co. was we'll
represented at the demonstration by
the following: C. j. Farney, Fargo,
the manager and the following sales
men: B. A. Tarplee, Fargo; o. w.
Swingseth, Devils Lake; o. T. David
son, Crosby; A. A. Koontz, Williston;
John A. Green, Glasgow; D. J. Woll,
Harvey and A. N. johnson, Minot.
This afternoon thirty tractors were
lined up and all worked on one land
in unison, blowing a strip Of land $50
feet wide at one time across the field
This was an unusual sight.

FRITZ RAIDER SHOOTS
MAN At LONG CREEK

Fritz RAIDER OF Long Creek shot f
+. McCue Wednesday afternoon at
about eight miles north of Long
Creek. RAIDER used a 32-calibre An
tomato revolver, sending one bullet
through McCue's head and three thru
the stomach. At nine O'Clock Thurs
day morning the Eagle received a
| phone that McCue was still alive but
that his chances for recovery were
very slight
Details are lacking, but it seems
that the shooting was result of a
quarrel. After the shooting RAIDER
went to the Caverhill place and told
them what he had done and that they
had better phone for Sheriff Howell
as he did not care to 60 with deputy.
Sheriff Howell left for Long Creek
horseback, Wednesday night and
Thursday morning RAIDER came to
Long Creek.
Just how the shooting occurred is
not known. but it seems that RAIDER.
accompanied by Frank Hale went to
the McCue cabin. They entered the
cabin, Hale thinking that a row was
brewing went outside. He said he
heard scuffling and re-entered the ca
bin. He told McCue that he would
take RAIDER out, when the shooting
took place.
McCue was man about As years
old. He has wife and four child
rem, who are now at the Kemp Hard
istry place in the Trout creek country
where McCue had Fred Nickles' place
rented. About three weeks ago Nc
Cue took his horses which he had in
Silvies over to the Johnson place
which he had leased from RAIDER. IL
seems that RAIDER and McCue had had
more or less misunderstanding over
the terms of the lease and the mat
ter had been the subjct of prior con-
troversy, although McCue was a man
of a peaceful reputation Blue
Mountain Eagle.
Later reports indicate that Mr..
McCue died from wounds inflicted.

MORROW BOY ENL|STs
FOR DUTY IN FRANCE

The happiest man in Portland a
few days ago was Mack M. Miller,
who is going to France.
Miller was not 21 on war registra-
tion day, but because he thought he
would get into the war more quickly
that way he registered for the selec-
tive draft up in Morrow County,
where he was driving an automobile
stage. He told the exemption board
he was 81 and class la man.
When after six months waiting he
hadn't been called and found he was
barred from volunteering he told the
exemption board the truth about his
age. Meantime he had reached 21,
and the board would not excuse him.
He haunted the Offices, pleading
for a chance to fight. If the army
was barred to him, he wanted to 60
into the navy.
Last week the board gave him
note to the navy recruiting office in
Portland saying that If he enlisted in
five days it would waive claims to
him.
At the navy recruiting Office he
found a waiting list of more than a
100 men ahead of him. He couldn't
enlist in five days. He was doubtful
If the navy could take him In less
than five weeks.
Then Miller read about the 37th
Engineers, electrical and mechanical,
which is being recruited at 523 Beck
building for service in France. He
laid his troubles before Lieutenant
Victor H. Braunig, In charge of re-
cruiting for the 37th in Portland.
Because Miller is an expert in gas
engines, the 37th has place for him.
Lieutenant Braunig Immediately tel
egraphed the exemption board in
Morrow and secured the boys release.
He will be enlisted at once and will
20 to Fort Meyer, Va, for training.
Within a few weeks he will be lover
there. Soldiers News Letter.
