Raising $500 for Fargo Home

Mrs c.. E. Johnston, Co. Chairman
In the month of August there was
started over the entire state a drive
of "a dollar a person" for rhe pur-
pose of raising money for new and
much needed nursery building for the
Florence Crittenden Home, located
at Fargo. Appeals were sent to all
lodges, aids and clubs in the county,
also to all Sunday schools. So far
the response has been good, but all
have not go far responded we hope
that all who have not sent in their
contributions will do 80 soon. in or
der that full report may be present
ed in the newspapers of the county
next week. Of the $500 that was
apportioned to Cavalier county, there
has been up to date only $3.50 re-
ceived by the committee.

from whom he wishes to receive his
Christmas package. Packages that
do not bear this label will not be ac-
cepted by the Red Cross for delivery
to the postoffice authorities. Labels
that are lost will not be duplicated.
Christmas parcels must be placed
in standard cardboard boxes 3x4x9
inches in size. These boxes will be
provided to holders of labels by the
American Red Cross. They may be
obtained at Red Cross chapters or
Branches after November 1st.
Nothing should go in a Christmas
parcel which will not keep fresh from
the time of packing until Christmas.
Dried fruits and other food products
should be packed in small tin or
wooden boxes, one-quarter to one
half pound size.
Hard candy, including chocolate,
would probably be safe in tinfoil or
heavy cardboard, but no soft choco-
lates nor anything that could possibly
be crushed should be used, as the re-
naming contents of the package
might be spoiled thereby.
Several dainties packed in oblong
tin boxes holding each a quarter Of a
pound, will provide better variety
for a packet than a large quantity of
a single confection.
No liquids nor articles packed in
glass should be placed in the package.
For wrapping the gifts, use a
khaki-colored handkerchief, twenty
seven inches square.
When the package has been packed,
it should be taken, unwrapped and
unsealed, together with the label and
sufficient stamps, to the nearest col
lection center designated by the Red
Cross. After the package has passed
the inspection of the Red Cross rep
resentatives as to contents and
weight, and been wrapped in stout
paper, the Christmas label bearing
the address of the man for whom it is
intended is placed on it. The person
sending the package, in the presence
of the Red Cross worker, is required
to affix stamps sufficient to carry it
to Hoboken, N. J. The postal charges
are to be at the rate of fourth class
or parcel post zone rate. A label
certifying that the inspection has been
completed by the Red Cross is placed
on the package, which is left in the
custody of the Red Cross until deliver
ed to the postal authorities.

Alfred Roy was in town Friday
from his farm near Osnabrock and
during the afternoon dropped in and
told the Democrat how much both
himself and the family appreciate the
sympathy and genera kindness that

bereavement sustained in the death
of their son Fred, who died at Camp
Grant, ILL.,, on the 4th inst, of
pneumonia, which aet in following
an attack of Spanish influenza, being
ill and in the hospital at the camp
less than ten days previous to his de-
mise. Mr.. Roy has received letter
from Mr.. Van B. Eyer]y, who is an
associate field director of the Red
Cross attached to the hospital of the
camp in which the latter tells of his
being almost constantly with Mr..
Roy's son during his illness. The
message ls indeed one of great com.
fort to the bereaved family. Private
Fred Roy left for Camp. Grant, ILL.,,
with the quota of drafted men from
this county who entrained from here
on September 4th. On October 3rd,
only one week prior to his death was
his twenty.third birthday and it was
at about this time that he was sent
by the doctors to the base hospital
for treatment. The home coming Of
the body of their dead soldier boy,
and only son. was quite an event in
Osnabrock. 1t being the first mill
tary funeral which the war has
brought to the town. Now like
nearly every other surrounding com.
munity Osnabrock has enrolled Oh the
roster of her dead, one who has made
the supreme sacrifice in order that
right and not might should prevail.
The funeral was held on the 18th
inst, Rev Father Mcdonald, of Park
River, officiating.

Dresden MOurnS
Death of Pioneer
Deaths Summons Answered.
Last Friday Afternoon by
w. H. Speckmann

During the afternoon hours of last;
Friday the word was eceived most,
unexpectedly by Langdon friends Of
the response to Deaths summons by
Postmaster W. H. Speckmann, of
Dresden. The end is stated as being
due directly to heart trouble, al
though doubtless aggravated to con-
siderable extent lby q the prevalent
epidemic of influenza, of which he
had complained for day or two pre-
vious to taking to his bed on Wednes-
day. For about day and half the
heart weakness left him during the
greater part of the time in an uncon-
scious condition, and he passed peace
fully away entirely free of pain.
1t was while at the bedside of her.
husband that Mrs. Speckmann, re-
ceived telegram from Hazelton, N.
D., calling her to the bedside of her
son, Otto, who since leaving home a.
few months since has been holding q.
position there in a bank. The mes.
sage stated that Otto was down with
an attack of influenza. Unable to-
go herself, friends responded to the
call, and later word would seem to in
dicate that he will recover.
The oldest son, Wilhelm, is in
France with the boys from this
county who year ago last summer
enlisted in Company E. There are,
also two younger children, one three
years and the other only a few
months old, both boys.
The sad event is one in which ali
people in this part of the county
join with the people of Dresden in
rendering their sympathy to the
stricken family left to mourn.
Deceased was native of Brennan,
Germany, coming to this country as
a young man in the eighties. He,
had been res;denttof. Cavalier county
q greater part of this tine, living
in Langdon during the earlier period
and later removing to Dresden to go
into business. His qualities of heart
and mind were such that he rapidly
grew in popularity and esteem as
years rolled by.
The funeral keld Sunday from the
home in Dresden to the Catholic
church at Mt. Carmel told the story
in something more plainly understood
than mere words Of the esteem in
which Mr.. Speckmann was held. Ea-
pecially so when the ban against
public gatherings at the present time.
is given consideration.
W. H. Slade left Tuesday for a
business trip to the Twin Cities. He
may spend part of the winter on the
Paci6ce coast with party Of Saint
Paul friends.
Since returning home from her
school at Sarles during the week Miss
Lena Stewart has been quite ill with
influenza, and it was learned yester-
day afternoon that symptoms of pneu.
monia had been noted in the condi-
tion of the patient.

the acres and the moneys received for
them will be made later. 1t would be
very nice in that report to give the

Every man should make his check

The check will go to the treasurer of

twenty eight years old. Deceased

for number of years and was we'll

county as teacher in our rural

supposition is that d,ath was d..
rectly due to the prevailing epidemic
of influenza, although he had been in
poor health for some time. The
funeral was held Monday, interment
taking place in the Catholic cemetery
at Olga, the grave being along side
