Railroad employees in North Dakota
are elated over the announcement

rate of increase has not been made
public but it is. asserted that the low
class Of employees will reap the largest
benefits ,-.
Director General McAdoo's wage

ule for several months past and it has
just been announced at Washington
that this work has been completed and

time. Local railway men said yester-
day that it is expected the announce
ment will be made about May 10.
Low Paid to Get Raise
Information at hand does not divulgH
definitely the classes of employees to
be affected, except that the impression
prevails that those drawing low wages
will receive the largest increase.
1t was claimed by local railway Off
Gals yesterday that they had heard
that men now drawing $3.50 a month
and over are not likely to be included,
but that the trackmen who are now
working for from $3.50 to 500 a day
will receive substantial increases.
Inquiry at the office of the agents
of roads passing thru Fargo yesterday
brought the response that on official
information had been received con-
corning the reported wage increases,
except that it was coming soon.
From January.

the wage board has completed its work
and that the announcement would pc
made soon, but have no official infor-
nation said James p. Johnson, agent
of the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany in Fargo I'VE hope it will come
pretty soon so we can buy more LlDer-
ty bonds. We expect the announce.
ment before long, however.
Director General McAdoo has
promised increases in wages to the
employees Of the railroads and the rail-
way wage board has been at work on
the schedule for some time, that IS all

agent for the Great Northern. Il also
have bulletin from the director gen.
eral saying that these increases will

HIGH LIGHTS IN
THIRDLIBERTY
LOAN CAMP
Some Reasons Why Ninth Dis.
trict May BE Proud of
It's Citizenship
5000 FLAGS ARE EARNED

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 30.-The
farmer of the northwest; the COM
munties of German blood; the individ-
ual allotment plan and high percent
age Of distri are the four
high lights of the successful Thiru
Liberty loan campaign in the Ninth
federal reserve district.
In this loan the farmer has out
bought his city brother whose batting
average in the first and second loans
was what carried the loans through.
Failure on the part of the farmers to
buy more literally in the former loans
is ascribed to lack of familiarity with
government securities.
German communities, in many OF
which the government received little
support in the first two loans, this
time took off their coats and went TO
work for Uncle Sam. In practically
every instance where German blood
predominates in a community, thai
community this time has reported a
healthy oversubscription.
The individual allotment plan AID
the high percentage of distribution
went hand in hand in this campaign.
The allotment or card index plan met
with some opposition when first sug'
gested, but soon was accepted.
Weeks in advance COMMITTEES met
in every Ninth district community and
carefully listed up every person "sus.
pected' of having the price of bond
and placed after each name the
amount in bonds which the committee
thought each individual should take.
The Ninth district did not start it's
sales campaign until April Is, nine
days after the remainder of the nation
had started. Saturday, April 20, the
district was oversubscribed and A. r..
Rogers registered in Washington over
the long distance telephone as the
first district over the top. ~
More than 5000 counties. cities, vii
lagos and townships already have put
in claims for honor flags. Many ask
ed for the one star flag indicating 100
per, cent oversubscriptiop, some for
the two star flags. indicating treble
their allotment, and Whitefish, Mont,
made claim for three star flag to
show the world that Whitefish went
fou rtimes over. -
The entire, district followed the
same general scheme Of sales, though
various counties injected some origin
al methods. Fergus Falls. Minnesota,

With one out in the first half OF

ran home from third on the out, but
was called out by Umpire O'Day for
leaving third base before the catch
was made, thus completing a double

SPLENDID W. C.T.U.
UNION SERVICE

The Congregational and Methodist
churches gave up their Sunday eve
ming service to the w. C. T. U. Sunday
night, the joint meeting being held in
the M. E. church which was filled to
capacity. The w. C. T. US are hold
ing their convention here and the SER
vice Sunday night was part of the
program. Mrs. Fred Wanner, district
president, of Jamestown, presided.
The service opened with devotions by
Mrs. A. E. Bolton, of Jamestown fol-
lowed by an anthem. Then the speak
er, of the evening, Miss Timing, one
of the lecturers Of the national w. G.
T. u. organization, was very nicely
introduced by Mrs. Waner. Miss
Timing came here highly recommend
ed as a speaker and the writer is
pleased to state that her recommends
tions were not exaggerated. She is
a fine speaker, and being English, has
just enough of the accent of the cit
izen of that country to make her talk
interesting, but more than that she
has an earnestnes that is impressive
and compels one to listen with inter-
est. Miss Things address was along
the lines of patriotism and the work
of the organization which has done so
much for mankind and which is now
doing so much for the soldier boys in
the trenches. She gave her hearers
many facts not known of what great
help this big organization is to the
boys who have entered the army, from
the time they enlist, until they return
home again-how the organization
watches over them and furnishes
things for their comfort, from the
we'll filled comfort kits to the splen-
did homes for the use of the soldier
boys in France-real homes where the
boys can 60 and get clean bed, their
mothers can 60 to visit the son, and
other things, such as field kitchens,
where after they come out Of the
trenches they get hot meals, and still
more, the fine ambulances to take the
wounded to base hospitals, and all
these things that the Red Cross, Y.
M. C. A an dother organizations are
doing, the w. C. T. U. is doing also
doing it's bit for humanity. She also
hit the tobacco trust a knocy-out
blow, declaring that this appeal for
money to buy tobacco for the boys
was nonsense and was only a shield
to boost the business of the tobacco
trust. She went after the brewers
without gloves and showed conclusive
ly that the terrible waste of foodstuffs
and grain to make beer and other
drinks would reach two and half
billion dollars a year and that if we
had national and we'll enforced prohi-
bition we could float two or three lib
erty loan drives a year and never feel
it. She also stated that if the brew
cries were put out of commission, mil
lions of tons of coal would be saved
for shipping to haul munitions and
supplies to the boys in the trenches.
Her speech was full of good things
and many truths in regard to conser-
walton along lines that are now being
wasted, such as we have mentioned.
! At the close of her address appeal for
funds was made and CON iderable
money raised. The convention is on
today with a fine program and many
delegates present from various Sec
tions of the state.

NONRESIDENT LAND
OWNERS SHOULD'VE

Nonresident land ownders in the
several townships will be solicited for
Red Cross subscriptions and if they
fail to come across they put a damper
on the whole township work. It
seems to the executive committee of
the Red Cross that a corporation or
Individual owning land in township
should give at least SIS for each quar-
ter section owned in each township.
T',c.7 must pay taxes on the land own
ed ~ natter where located and this is
nothing but a tax. The identity of
townships must be kept in mind for
this or any other method of assess
ment. It is really expected that IS
will be given for each quarter session.
