RED OAK GROVE.
Sunbeams Held Meeting. So-T
cial Circle No. 2 Active.
Mothers Day Soon to
be Observed.

The Sunbeam exercises last Sun
day, after very interesting session of
the Sunday school, made us feel the
day was of unusual interest.
The lesson was short but full of
many helpful suggestions. Oar
teachers really seem determined to
get down to earnest work now,
which is telling.
Ali we country people need is to
be educated and properly trained,
as was demonstrated by our lit
tie children last Sunday. / think
wonderful talent and natural gifts
were beautifully revealed, and most
appreciated, so willingly rendered.
Our Circle No. will arrange
special work on our subject, The
Training School" Mrs. a. B.
Young will have a part with as,
and we gratefully thank her for
coming with her splendid help just
when our hobby is in discussion, or
rather one of our hobbies. So with
Mrs. Jessie Bailey hostess and Mrs.
Ioung's presence, and with reci-
tation from one of our Y. w. AS,
we feel sure the meeting will be
real interesting.
Our Sunday school will observe
Mothers Day for its fourth ami
versary. Announcement will rs
given later.
Each year the attendance in
creases, and with prayerful cousid-
GRAFTON our program will have add
ed some rather new features to
which the public is invited.
Mrs. Eddie Agner has returned
from the hospital, and is doing
nicely.
Miss Lola Yonng's many friends
are delighted that she, too, is home
again.
The Red Oak Grove school closes
next Saturday. Miss Annabel Saun-
ders has made many warm friends
since she has been with us, besides
acquitting herself nobly as teacher
The Y. w. AS. are delighted
that their co-laborer when here,
Miss Ruth Zimmerman, is now
leading a Sunbeam class in her
church way down in South Georgia.
Also our boys are thinking on the
success for Mr.. O'Neil Zimmerman
as secretary of +. Y. P. u, as his
first experience was in the Sunbeams
at Red Oak Grove with them.

The Work Of the Red Cross Ia
Johnston.

The Red Cross chapter of John
ston is doing a fl work, and every
day of the week finds workers here,
the directors Of the day in charge.
The registrars book shows each
week the number in attendance.
The Red Cross rooms are con-
veniently located, and tastily fitted
up, and on the walls are pictures
that inspire one to their best en-
dcavor.
The equipments Of the rooms
will aid in furthering the work.
The room for the surgical dress
ing class is being fitted up, and the
first " eek in May the class will have
one we'll qualified to instruct them.
The sum total of the efforts of
this chapter for the months of
March and April is gratifying to
them.
The garments made are 249, and
or these the ladies of Philippi made
"a, and of Bethlehem 6s.
Eighty three pairs of socks have
been knitted, Philippi ladies assist
ing in this.
The Junior Red Cross is pro-

They have made 100 housewives,
"a pinafores and II refugee skirts.

Mrs. Lily Fisher.

Without knowing the facts which
were connected with Mrs. Fishers
passing away, my association with
her in the past inspires the follow
ing tribute to her memory.
It was a sad message which came
to Edgefeld few days ago when
the announcement was made that
Mrs. Fisher was no more.
Her picture lives in my memory!
There are some persons in the world
who possess such an indescrihahle
charm that their influence leaves an
impression which is indelible, inef-
faceable.
Il A personality like hers carries
'ancr1n a cheering atmosphere that it's
influence lives as long as memory
lives-perhaps forever
, These sonls are rare, because the
cares of this world usually sober
and crnsh the exuberant spirit, un-
til nothing but the common place
remains.
Not 80 with this friend! She re-
tainnd the enticine charm of youth
as long as we knew her.
One Of the messages that came
which causes us to honor and love
her memory. is, that she and her
daughter, who was when she lived
here, dear little Mary Lille, now
grown to young womanhood, had
planned since the death Of Mr..
Fisher, to return to Edgefeld and
make their home, as the place of all
places in which they had resided,
which more than any other, held a
warm place in their hearts.
How heartily they would have
been welcomed by those of us who
knew and loved them. How 10y
ally wonld the people of Edgefield,
who are after all the kindest and
most faithful of friends, have
greeted and cherished them.

give ten hours of his time at that
rate.
The small amount Of money paid
for these lunches is used by the wo-
men of the Red Cross to purchase
material which these same women
are engaged in making into gar
ments to be sent to our Allies in
Europe.

JOHN S}It.EN
FOR GOVERNOR

Was born July 28th, 1874. His life
has been devoted to farming and he
has been a success in that field. He
owns and operates the North Dakota
Model Farm which was exhibited in
miniature at Norway's Centennial Ex-
position. He has served two terms in
the State Legislature, two terms as
County Treasurer and is now serving
his second term as State Treasurer.
Mr.HgSSteen has been a Republican
and q .the progressive type. In hts
service as state official, or elsewhere
that fortune has placed him he has
been independent, efficient and sue
cessful in every undertaking. AS state
Treasurer, Mr.. steen has become in
tiniately familiar with and deeply in
terested in all matters. pertaining to
the state government, thereby fitting
himself for real administrative duties.
AS State Treasurer he isa member Of
various state boards; In his service on
all of these,;he has determinedly stood
for that which he has thought right.
Some Of the men who opposed him
are now his strongest supporters be-
cause they see that he was always fair
and honest in all things. Asa a mem
Der Of the State Legislature, he stood
for the Terminal Elevator Legislation
and all other. progressive legislation
proposed for the benefit Of the farm
er and agricultural interests in gener-
al AS a member of the. State Board
of Equalization, he voted for an IN
crease in the valuation Of all railroad
trunk lines in 1905. The following
year he voted against flat reduction of
valuation Of. railroads and real estate
in order to keep the state on a cash
basis.
Mr.. Steen strands for supporting
the Governments war program with
out any "ifs" or "buts",. When the
independencesof the nation and the lib
erty Of its people is trembling in the
balance, there is on time or energy to
waste quareling over petty politics OF
even social or economic questions that
do not interfere with the prosecution
Of the war.
In addition to his sterling integrity,

fairs fits him prominently for chief

Bismarck, N. D.. June IA, 1918.
To the People Of North Dakota:
Several state officials and other
league speakers have been exceeding
lly busy .. fate, telling the people Of
the state that I am wrongfully with
holding certain interest mnnav earned
by g deposit of a. foreign insurance
company and are attempting to convey
the impression that / am dishonest in
the performance Of my duties.
The facts in this matter are as fol-
I.
When ! assumed the office Of State
treasurer my predecessor turned ov yv1
to me the sum Of $25 900 deposited
With the State Treasurer by the Des
MONIES Mutual Hail & Cyclone Insur-
'ance Company Of Des Moines, Iowa. to
guarantee their contracts in this state,
this being in pursuance dfglaw which
requires foreign mutuals to- make q
deposit Of either cash or securities be-
fore they are authorized to do business
IN North Dakota.
Ihls Delng trust Fund it was nee
essary to keep it seperate from State
Funds, and there being no provision
iupnder the lawsfor the keeping or IN
vesting Of such funds, on my W re-
! sponsibility / deposited this money in
banks on demand certificates of lie.
tposit drawing interest at four Eel
cent. Il III
When the Insurance company decid.
ed to withdraw from the state this
money had earned $3.50 in ~interes,
and the question arose: Who was e..
titled to this interest? I referred the
matter to Attorney General Linde 70,
an opinion, and he gave as his opinion
that the state was not entitled to it
and he was not sure that the COMPANY
was, inasmuch as there was no proyis.
sion under the law that required the
State Treasurer to invest such funds
and in case it had been lost through
the failure Of any bank, or for any 9th
er cause, I would have been personal
~ liable for it.
I asked the Insurance Company t.
bring a friendly action in order to de
eide who was entitled to this interest
! and although Attorney General Lind,
