|. E. Montgomery, of Fayette,
is now representing the Mississ-

gentleman, and made his regular

At the regular meeting of the
mayor an board of aldermen
Tuesday afternoon. an order was
passed directing the marshal to
take immediate steps to have the
cemetery cleaned up. Mr.. Cottrel
requests us to announce that he
will begin this work next Tues
day morning, and all parties in
terested are requested to be at
the cemetry prepared to help in
the work. If you can't go, send
help in the work. An order was
also passed by the board ordering
the marshal to strictly enforce
the stock law from this date, d.
recting him to take up all stock

A would-be burglar entered
w. G. Barnes store early Friday
morning, and was attempting to
make a haul when his plans were
foiled by B. C. Washburn, who
happened to be passing the store
at that hour. Noticing a light in
the store, Mr.. Washburn made
an investigation and found that
a burglary was about to be com
mitted. He summoned Tom Dick
son, Lane Busick and Tom Berry
to his aid, and made an effort to
capture the thief, surrounding
! the.store, and inviting the intru-
der to come forth. The burglar
complied with the request,
emerging from the back door,
making good his escape. Mr..
Washburn shot at him four
times, but evidently none of the
shots took effect. No clue left as
to identity of the guilty party.
Mrs. Clarence Webb and little
daughter, Laura Lee, of New
Orleans, arrived yesterday after

8 years old, decided to go down
the road to meet the East chill
dren, who were at school. and in
some way, not being used to the
country roads. got her directions
mixed, and when found was four
miles south of town, on the Dry
Creek road. She met some lum-
Der wagons and notified one of
the drivers that she was lost,
and they broughther safely home.
In the meantime her mother
and relatives were crazed with
grief over her disappearance,
and searching parties were be-
ing formed to hunt for her. She
was gone nearly five hours.

The bombing by German airplanes
Is described very wildly in a letter
to Mrs. Ernest Butler written from
Somewhere in France by Arson

Mr.. Ryan, who is a member Of
Company A, 18th Engineers, to which
unit he has recently been permanent
" assigned. writes. in part, as fol-
lows:
IT haven't seen more than 2 Ger
man machines in the air at the same
time, but that is a crowd. II any
thing gets on my nerves, they do. One
bombed our camp last April, or tried
to. He dropped seven bombs, and
the first was about 800 feet away,
and the rest in a line from it. but
in the opposite direction. We heard
the anti-aircraft guns working on
them. and woke up. 1t is very. easy
to tell by the hum Of the motor
whether it Is friends or foe, and when
we heard that one, we took special
notice. They travel very fast and
can be heard for only q few minutes
while passing over. We soon knew
that he vas circling v our heads,

rank was recorded, for the July sta
county during that month attains
fifth rank among all the counties Of
North Dakota.
The total sales, maturity value, of
war savings and thrift stamps sold
in the state, until July 1. amount to
'$2,6s2.s5s.34 Of which s1,211,ssl,1o
was pledged during July.
The total amount for Grand Forks
pledged in the July drive. Expressed
in terms Of per capita figures this
means that for the whole period Of
stamp selling; every inhabitant of the
county has taken $4.93 worth OF
stamps. and during the July drive the
per capita amount was $3.50. In
other words Grand Forks county
ranks twelfth in the campaign as a.
whole and. fifth in the July, 1918,
campaign.
Griggs county has the distinction
of heading the list in North Dakota,
and as far as the amounts Of the
counties are concerned. Grand Forks
county is second only to Cass and
Adams counties. This, however, is
not indicative of the individual
efforts made by every inhabitant of
the respective counties.
One noteworthy feature is that the
per capita amount for the whole
state amounts to $4.14, this county
exceeds that by $40, and the state
per capita amount for the month Of
July. which Is $3.50, is exceeded here
by $.72.
The highest per capita amount for
the state is for the entire drive $7.52
