AMONG MISSING

Edward Nordin nephew Of E. j.
Swedlund Of this city and who for q
number of years worked for Mr..
Swedlund at his Jewelry store here
was reported during the last week
as among those missing at the front.
His picture appeared in the Mime
apolis Tribune last Sunday and his
home was given as Minneapolis.
There is a possible chance that Ed
ward has been taken captive and it
has not been reported as yet. He has
been at the front for some time and
in his last letters he told about do
ing scout duty in No-Mans Land at
night and it was probably in one of
these raids that he was captured.

CATTLE men TO
HOLD STOCK SALE

To arrange for sale to be held in
the pavilion at Williston the direc-
tors and officers Of the Missouri yell
lowstone Valley Shorthorn Breeders
association met at the office of the
secretary, A. F. Burke, December 3rd.
1t was decided to hold the sale
about the middle Of March, the ex-
act date to be announced later. At
that time a large number Of the
purest short horn stock will be sold
from the Williston pavilion. It is
hoped that in this way farmers and
stockmen will become interested and
be encouraged to buy stock of this
high grade.
A sale to be held at Sidney Dec.
20 was also arranged. At that time
two carloads of purebred stock will
be taken from near Williston by
members of this breeders association
to be held. The sale will be boosted
by every member of the association
to get this pure bred stock circu-
lated as much as possible.
Embrace Large Area
The association embraces the fol-
lowing counties in North Dakota:
Williams, Divide, Mckenzie, Noun
traill and the western half of Ward
county and Sheridan and Richland
counties Of Montana.
All residing within that territory
and identified with the breeding of
shorthorns are eligible to become
members of the association.
eve want to make stockraisers see
just why good purebred shorthorns
are the most profitable kind of stock
to raise" said Mr.. Wegley. "If they
stop to realize it, feed for a good
animal costs no more than feed for a
poor animal and a pure bred short
horn is worth from $3.50 up while
scrub is worth from $35 to $50. In
these days of the high cost of feed
those figures may mean much to
farmers and stockraisers who are
good business men,"
The membership Of the association
at present represents about 450 head
of purebred shorthorn stock.

the like.
Indeed, the farmer, through his
cooperative marketing organizations
and his government, can do much di-
rectly to promote new world mar
kets.
But the indirect returns of the
American merchant marine to the
farmer will be even greater.
BY selling our factory goods
abroad, we can increase the output.
When you increase the output of
a factory, in most cases, you are
able to reduce cost of production, and
also prices.
For increased output means that
people have steadier work and that

HALF OF M0MDAK
MOVED TO W|luS10M
SHERIFF AND SPECIAL AGENT
MAKE SEVERAL ARRESTS
DURING PAST WEEK

A grand rush has been made by the
piggers of the state during the love-
ly December weather for the little
oasis at Mondak to replenish their
supply of wet goods for the coming
prolonged dry spell. The sheriff and
the Great Northern r. r. Special
Agent have not been asleep either
and several arrests were made during
the past week and several thousand
dollars worth Of whiskey now is
stored in Williston awaiting the ac-
tion of the Federal authorities.
On December 9Th. two arrests were
made by the R. R. Special Agent the
first being that Of Labo Tsvestcoff
from Grand Harbor who had been
sent from that place by number of
his labor associates to procure some
of the spirits. He was taken from
the train here with quantity of
whiskey stored in suit cases and was
taken before Justice Ludowese. He
was bound over for trial and on de-
fault of a $500 bond was placed in
the county Jail.
Carl Schmidt and Frank Herman
were next and were taken from the
train here with quantity of the
amber fluid. They stated that they
had never been to Mondak before and
had only gone there this time to get
the whiskey for the flu. They gave
their home as Ray and were released
on $500 bonds each.
The big haul was made Dec. 9Th.
when r. Carl mechanic and Will
liam Kelley both of Minot were ar
rested north of Ray by the sheriff
with about $4,000 worth of whiskey
in their possession. It is evident that
they are members of regular or
ganized gang that have been hired to
haul quantities of whiskey from Mon
dak to Minot. They used every pre-
caution possible to escape the au-
thorities evading every town between
Mondak and Minot by about Is miles.
North of Ray one of the autos in
which they were travelling broke down
and they had to come to Ray for re-
pairs. The constable at Ray suspect
ed something wrong and telephoned
the sheriff who was soon on the
scene. Both men were bound over on
$500 bonds. R. w. Carl put up his
bond and returned to Minot while
Kelly is still boarding at the county
Jail. I
Another victim was picked up when
Leonard Retterath of Ross, N. D..
was arrested with quantity of booze
in his possession. He was taken be-
fore Justice Ludowese and was bound
over. on a $500 bond which he fur
nished.
As result of these numerous ar
rests the Christmas business will
probably be very light at Mondak,
there is apt to be scarcity ,
Of North Dakota customers.
