WIN. ]. J.WESTERCAARD

An old resident lately passed away
in Valley City after an illness of some
two weeks or more. William J. West
ergaard was born in March 1866. He
came to Valley City in 1891, and i'm
med;ately made a place for himself
as one of the rising young business
men Of the community. He engaged
in the hardware and Implement busi-
ness, carrying on large and flourish
ing trade for many years. During the
past few years he had been in failing
health, and was unable to take an ac-
tive part in the commercial life Of the
city, Mr.. Westergaard had been hon
ored by being selected to represent
both state and city in important exc
cutive positions. He served for six
years on the state penitentiary board,
having been appointed to that Office by
Governor White. In 1904 he ran for
mayor Of Valley City, being opposed
by W. H. Mcpherson and Peter Dav-
idson The election resulted in tie
between him and w. II. Mcpherson.
Lots were drawn between these two,
and Mr.. Westergaard was elected. He
brought the same energy and enthus-
iasm to this work as, he exhibited in
his private business. For several
years he held the responsible position
of chairman of the Republican Cen
trail committee. From it's organiza-
tion up to within the past year or
two he acted as treasurer of the Fair
Association, and was one of its most
enthusiastic promoters.
Several of the fraternal orders
counted him among their members. In
the Masonic order, his membership
extended over many years in the Blue
Lodge, Chapter, Commandery, East
ern Star and the Shrine. He held Of
flee in the Elks at the time of his
death, and was for some years men,
ber of the house committee. He also
was member of the Yeoman lodge.
He was married in October 1897 to
Miss Jennie Wedin, who, with their

How great part the dog took in
licking the Hun, the great value of his
services to the Signal Service, is not
realized by many. 1t may be made
more plain to those who witness the
Second Official United States War Pic

hibited at the Normal school auditor
ium Monday evening, Nov. Is.
There are scores of dog dispatch
bearers in the American Army, and
hundreds of timid, yelping recruits

biggest assets in training dogs for

Men for whom they have little, if
any, acquaintance, take them to the
front lines and unleash them when
the messages are ready. They are
harder to shoot than men. They are

OUR SOLDIERS ON
WESTERN FRONT

The remarkable war picture, "Amer-
ica's Answer issued by the Division
of Films, Committee on Public Infor-
nation, will be shown at the Normal
school auditorium, Monday evening
November 25.
"America's Answer is the second
in the Government series of "Fol-
lowing the Flag to France" pictures,
and is designed to show what has
been accomplished in France during
the first year of Americas participa-
tion in the World War. It presents
the wonderful Smile dock ''some-
where in France built on swamp
land by American soldiers; refrigera-
tors, railroads, great storage ware
houses, water dams and other Amer
lean activities needed to keep our mill
lion and more men in France; it
shows how the American soldiers live,
how they are fed, how proper SANTA
tion is provided, how they are cared
for in the base hospitals and in the
pictorializes the great American sal
wage department., where half-worn
clothing is renovated, the utilization
of old and discarded shoes and hats,
and other industries; it shows how an
endless stream of American built
trucks keep supplies going to the
front; the camouhaged guns, the acres
of shells and other ammunition, the
American aero squadron, and, finally,
the actual fighting, in which Ameri-
can soldiers have brought undying
honor upon themselves and their
country
"America's Answer" is a picture
that every American, by birth or adop-
ton, should see. It will make ones
taxes seem lighter and the buying of
Thrift Stamps and Liberty Bonds as
well as contributions to the Red Cross
and other war charities, more than
ever a glad and patriotic privilege.

tributing the picture for the U. S. Di-

America is building it's own docks,
it's own railroads, it's own hospitals; it
is damming French streams for the
conservation Of water and to secure
an adequate supply of water for
American enterprises; it is erecting
American machine shops, and it is

ing, France is giving every evidence Of
being vastly pleased at the innova

BARNES COUNT
ON THE MAP

Barnes county is the first county in
North Dakota to have the three dis
tinct lines of government extension
work fully organized. ~~~~~
The Home Demonstration agent is
the third worker to come to our coun-
ty and our women are to be congratu-
lated upon having so able woman
as Miss Emma E. Dewitt to fill this
position.
Miss Dewitt comes from Illinois
where she did extension work prior to
this last year., which she has spent
with headquarters at jamestown, in
territory comprised Of seven coun-
ties.
One Of the many ways in which the
home demonstration agent has proved
very helpful to the communities in
which she has worked during the in
fuenza epidemic is, the organization
of classes in simple nome nursing:
Many a mother or older sister is the
better for these simple lessons, for
these simple lessons in nursing, that
she probably would not get in any
other way. Miss Dewitt will be very
glad to arrange for these classes
(which are free) if there is a demand
for them in this county.
Great interest is also being shown
in the remodeling of hats and gowns.
The preservation Of fowls, meat, eggs,
cts.
Miss Dewitt was raised on farm
and knows farm life. She has taught
country school and can appreciate the
value of hot school lunches, she will be
ready and willing at any and all times
to offer suggestions and give practi-
caAhelp, with any home problem. She
is anxious to work with the individual
or with the group. First call her by
telephone after next Wednesday.

THE LOYAL SPIRIT
OF AMERICA

In the hour Of victory, no less than
in the darkest days of struggle, does
the real worth of the spirit of Amer
lean democracy prove itself. The gen.
erous and cheerful giving in the pres
ent campaign is wonderful, never did
people give so much good will to the
needs in Europe. Perhaps the most
noteworthy example that is entitled
to special notice is the self-sacrifcing
spirit that has been shown by the
Normal school faculty. School teach
ers have felt the hardship Of war
times more heavily than any other
class. With the greatly increased
cost Of living salaries have remained
almost the same. In. this campaign
the equal apportionment called for a
fund of $500 from the faculty, yet
with the generous spirit which under
stands the needs of the time they gave
$500, eight dollars each for every man.,
woman and child in all their family
group. We all take off our hats to
this splendid generous spirit of Amer
icap idealism.

GRACE BOWEN
PASSES AWAY

The Times-Record very sadly
chronicles the death of Miss Grace
Bowen which occurred at the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w.
Bowen in this city, Tuesday about
8 p. m. Miss Grace had been sick
with the influenza and later contracted
pneumonia which caused her death.
She was the oldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Bowen. The Times-Record
is unable at this time to give any fur
ther particulars as to the time of the
funeral. The family is waiting to
find out if Will Bowen, who is at
Vancouver Barracks, Wash, can get
here for the funeral. The many
friends of this stricken family deeply
sympathize with them on the loss they
nave sustained.

to continue their work and not make
their final report until they have COM

ANEW AMERICA

Three hundred years ago, more or
less, adventurous Frenchmen created
a New France in America. Today
Americans, not less adventurous, are
creating New America in France.
The conditions, however, are different.
New France was created despite the
objections of Americas savage abo-
rigines. New America is being consti-
tuted with the approval of the people
of France.

industries are being transferred to the
soil of our French allies is shown in

WANT FARM BOYS
RETURNED HOME

J. D. Bacon, of Grand Forks, has
drawn up petition to Herbert Hoov-
er, food administrator, asking him to
use his best efforts to get the farm
boys in government service returned
to the state as soon as possible. This
petition has been sent to the post
master and farmers are asked to call
at the postoffice and sign the petition
so that it can be sent in to Mr.. Hoover
This idea was suggested at the Short
horn Breeders Sale in Fargo a few
days ago and Mr. Bacon was asked

To Hon. Herbert Hoover, Food Com
missioner, Washington, D. C.
We, the undersigned members of
the State Live Stock Breeders Asso-
citation, and farmers of the State of
North Dakota, hereby recommend that
you use your best efforts to see that
the farmer boys in the United States
service, be released at the earliest
possible moment the government can
spare them, in order to insure the
planting of full acreage in 1919.
Many of the farmers are selling
their live stock because of the lack of
help to take care of them this win
ter.
On account of the shortage Of farm
labor in this state during harvest and
threshing season, we were unable to
get very much plowing done this fall,
consequently if a:alarge acreage is
planted in 1919, will be necessary
have more than the average amount
of help in the sprire.

to relinquish II and pay for the use

But the introduction OF the bill does

no reason for Mr.. Crandall's re-elec-

A STRANGE APPEAL.

Perhaps the most unique political
document produced 80 far in the cam
paign Is that which Hon. e. NJ. Gran
dali issued last week as basis upon
which he seeks reelection to the
legislature. Unlike most men who
have held office, MIR. Crandall seeks
the continuance OF the peoples suf-
frage on negative platform. He
has nothing constructive TO offer.
MIR. Crandall's circular Is a flag
rant example OF the use of words to
conceal the facts. He attempts by
the recitation of the bills he intro
dueed to bring about the impression
that he accomplished wonders during
the 1917 session, when In fact only
two OF the measures he introduced
were passed, and neither of these is
Of material Importance. The aston
ishing thing is that in his statement
he did not tell what became OF the
bills for which he seeks to much
NTeulA ihaN IN NHhN AH' 'o'''N
should want TO know, and II the
record was 80 edifying that II would
entitle him TO reelection II In cer-
tain that Mr. Crandall would not
have omitted that important lnfor-
nation.
The Argus believes Mr.. Crandall
10 be blessed with high ideals. aud
20 be a man OF many fine parts. but
cannot from his record believe that
among those parts In one that quail
flies him 10 serve in the state law
making body as representative Of
Malheur and Hnrney counties.
In fact even his friends admit that
due 10 that lack OF personality that
counts In the every day affairs u
men; that inability 10 get along with
his associates. Mr. Crandall is On.
tlrely untitled for the position ne
socks. This In no fault In some men,
but In a legislator or In a member OF
any public body should almost disbar
any man Tor memberhhip.
The people OF Harney and Malheur
counties want results They do noI
care how many bills man intro
duoes They know that Il IL easy a.
introduce u measure thrown over the
transom. as many bills are thrown at
legislators.
They also know that when man
takes a position or an attitude of II
am holicr than thou" he soon be-
comes 30 unpopular that his useful
ness to his constituents is gone,
That in effect Is the position In
which MIR, CrandRll placed himself;
anconsciously, perhaps. but just as
effectively as tho II was his purpose,
His principal claim for considera-
ton. however is based on tho intro
duction OF a bill appropriatlng
