MAIL SERVICE
is EXCELLENT

An investigation carried on by civil
service inspectors and a committee Of
local business men, of the mail service
is more than ordinarily good.
One method by which his fact was
established, was the sending out of
a number of letters to various points
in the state. with request to the ad-
uressees that they time the arrival OF
the letter and mark the hour on the
envelope which then was to be return
ed to the Commercial club in this city.
In this manner. ESQ envelopes were
returned here, and in nearly every in
stance it was shown that speedy
handling had taken place from the
moment the letter was mailed until it
was delivered at it's destination.
The investigation also revealed that
the mailing facilities at Ardoch,
Devils Lake and Minot might be sub
jected to some improvement.
The civil service men who o part
in the investigation, were Carl Egge
and Roy LeForge of st. Paul and r,
S. Griggs of East Grand Forks. The
local business mems committee con-
sisted of w. G. Mcdonald, p. O.. Thor
son, Paul Griffith. Charles Dow, Mike
Panovitz and J. J. Dunlop of this city
! while East Grand Forks was repre-.
sented by r. S. GriggS.

Tomorrow evening the auditorium
in the city hall will Undoubtedly be
crowded to capacity when c.. V.
Combe. a Canadian newspaper man.
will deliver a lecture. on his personal
experiences in the war. Mr.. Connie
takes the place of Major David Dun
can, who was scheduled to speak here.
but found himself unable to come,
and the object in inviting Mr.. Combe
is to stimulate interest in Red Cross
work. .H..s- .
1t appears that Il great many people
have no very clear appreciation of the
necessity and value OF Red Cross
work on the .battlefields and that when
they get first-hand impressions Of the
var they ia further evince their in
terest in this great and indispensable
enterprise which is founded, upon the
noblest and most unselfsh ideals in
human history.
Was Prisoner in Germany.
MIR. Combe can tell about the war.
He has "seen it through" to a greater
extent than any other of the city's war
battles. has been wounded. has been
in hospitals, in prisons and has had
the best possible opportunities for
making observations.
Until h war broke out Mr.. Combc
was Il newspaper nan in Winnipeg,
but soon after the conflict was started
he wen away to France with q ma
chine gun company. For some time
he saw active service OFT the fronts
where the battles were ~fiercest, and in
April, 1915, he was wounded in the
head while taking part in the great
battle at st. Julien. 10
When recovering consciousness Mr.,
Combe found that he had been taken
prisoner, II soon after vas rams
ported to some inland German city,
where he was placed in one Of the
large concentration camps. His ex
periences as a war prisoner extend
" a period of sixteen months. and
as he is a, trained observer and pc
saw and heard, it may be taken fol-
granted that his story tomorrow even.
ing will be worth listening to.
Sent to Switzerland.
Following a long series of negoti.
atoms regarding the exchange of Ger.
tain badly wounded soldiers, Mr.
Combe was finally discharged from
the German prison camps and sent tc
a temporary internment camp ir
Switzerland. where he spent thirteen
additional months. Altogether he ha.
been in prison for nearly two and
half years and has gathered a vas
wealth of material which he make:
use of with telling effect.
At the lecture tomorrow evening
Mr.. Conbe will exhibit his uniform
as a German war prisoner and also
number of souvenirs from abroad.
7 Reports from Winnipeg are to thu
effect that Mr.. Combe has one of tn.
most impressive stories of the grea
war to narrate.

OKLAHOMA
PROMOTER
II ARRESTED
President of Company
{ Whose Car Was Here, is
Charged with Fraud.

On November IA n Pullman car,
equipped with maps. plats. agricul-
tural and geological reports, agricul-
tural products, etc, arrived in this city
and was stationed for four days on a
siding back of the First National
invited to inspect the exhibits which
were claimed to have been sen here
under the auspices OF the United
States government to arouse interest
in Indian lands in Oklahoma. The
ultimate object appeared to be to
make Grand Forks people buy plenty
of acres of the rich Oklahoma soil.
j. f.. Schwalm of Poteau, Okla,
was in charge of the exhibit and said
that it was the desire of the govern
ment to dispose Of certain allotted
eastern n southeastern part Of his
| home state.
- Had Been Arrested Before.
1t now appears that the party in
charge of the Pullman car had been
arrested at Great Falls. Mont. a few
days before coming here. and after
that a visited Aberdeen, S. D.;
Sioux City, Ia. Fargo land other
places The exhibit was arranged by
the McAlester Real Estate exchange,
whose president, Roy Van Trees, was
S'A oS W. Ao'k "SSN
by federal authorities. who charged
him inc his company with having
used the United States mail to de-
fraud. The secretary of the company
was also placed under arrest and al
the available records of the company
were seized. =
The warrant charges that Van Trees
wilfully and feloniously devised q
scheme to defraud persons who should
contract with the McAlester Real Es.
tate exchange to purchase for them
Indian lands of a certain character.
Many Contracts Made.
Postoffice inspectors say that during
1917 the company entered into 6,52+
of these contracts, collecting s135 or
each. purchases not being made or
more than half of them.
The car which was in Grand Fork:
for four days was one of ten car:
which the company operated on diff
ferent lines all yer the country.
At this writing it is impossible t.
say how many Grand Forks people ad
vanced money on their alleged con
tracts with the McAlester exchange
but it is known hat there were quit
a few.

f
ment's recent survey ofsthe leather
situation 6ref much hope Of early re-
lief. sAbout the only hope, in fact,
lies in the possible utilization Of
leather-supply sources hitherto neg
lected.
Which has given rise to the query:
Why not skin the pigs before making
them into bacon?
There is an old-fashioned idea that
bacon and ham could not be cured
properly without the "rind" on, but
science has discounted it; and the ex-
igencies of these times may work to
Danish it entirely. It is an erroneous
one, just as is the idea-which is
kept alive only by custom--that the
porker must hang in the market
stripped of his bristles, but not his
hide.
Pigskin's value for number OF
purposes is we'll recognized. And it
is employed to limited extent, but
not as a stable leather. Shoe manu-
facturers, however, are said to be
seeking ways to utilize it in their
business, and doubtless they would
employ great quantities of it in place
of cowhide and calfskin but for it's
scarcity.
That swine could be made poten-
tial supply of leather is indicated by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture's estimate that there are
upwards of 70,000,000 of these ami
mails on American farms to-day. Yet
the output of pigskin leather is neg
ligible. Federal statistics show that
at only seven of the principal stock
yards of the country last year more
than 22,0000,000 hogs were market
ed. Yet all of that pigskin was
wasted.

The absolute proof that medicinal
iron would help the blood and
strengthen people wonderfully has
caused many chemists to perfect
more or less efficient iron tonics and
more or less efficient tablets.
For most people, however, the wri-
ter would say that just plain highly
concentrated Acid Iron Mineral is
better, far cheaper and stronger and
goes from two to six times as far.
A bottle of Acid Iron Mineral, kept
handy and a teaspoonful poured In a
glass of drinking water after meals,
makes a delightful, very unusual and
highly beneficial tonic and strength
ener, and If the blood needs enriching
and purifying. it would be hard to
f1nd anything that does it better or

ACCEPT SHORT socks.

sends out the following warning to
Red Cross Chapters:
From National Headquarters and
also from superintendent of inspec-
ton in the Lake Division of the Red
Cross, we have received reports that
the socks are coming in short in the
foot and of uneven length.
eve therefore, ask the chapters to
accept nothing less than a 101a foot.
Sizes 10k to 1213 are acceptable.
On account of greater comfort for the
feet and also the durability of the
sock, we are encouraging hand knit
ting. - ,. o. e
eve would recommend to the
chapters having machines, that they
knit 10 inches Of the leg on the ma
chine and then turn over the socks
to be finished by hand. This method
will insure an inch of knitting before
commencing the heel.
eve would also caution against
the pointed toe. Socks should never
be closed at the toe with less than
go stitches on the two needles. In
placing the label on socks, cuff OF
sock should be stretched before sew
ing in label"

In Flanders Field the cannons boom

While up above, like eagles, fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky.
With stains the earth werein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom
In Flanders Field.
Sleep on, We brave. The shrieking

The quaking trench, the startled

The fury of the battle hell.

Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart an oath we swear
To keep the faith, to fight it through
To crush the foe, or sleep with you
