FIRST WOUNDS
ON MOTORCYCLE
Dangers of War May BE
Those of Peace, SaYs
Lieut.. Booth :,

Lieut. George Booth, known in
Fargo to many as Happy Booth,
who is serving In France. has met
with his first accident but a motor
cycle and not a Boche gun or bayo-
net was the cause OF his downfall.
Lieut.. Booth was yaledictoriai OF
the Fargo high school in the class
Of 1912. having completed the course
in three years. He took his degree
in electrical engineering at Wiscon-
sin university IN 1916 and became
assistant TO Frank Anders. Fargo city
engineer. he was commissioned at
Fortress Monroe a year ago and
went overseas In May OF this year.
His brother, Corp. A. 2. Booth lis
now min training at Fort Leaven-
worth.

NJ. Booth OF Fargo. Lieut. Booth tells
of his accident:A

COUNTY SALES OF
W. 5. S. DOUBLE
PRECEDING MONTH

During September Cass county
bought $5s,324.19 worth Of war saw
ing and thrift stamps, the largest
amount purchased by the county
since the sale was inaugurated by the
government. The harvesting of the
wonderful crop OF the year is un-
doubtedly one reason for the increase,
as the September total is more than
twice the quantity purchased in Cass
county during August. The sale of
thrift stamps in August amounted to
$24, 1902.
The total sale throughout the state
in September was SAP, 1884, an in
crease over the month previous Of
S13O,391.74, as the total sales through
out the state In August amounted to
1911, 760.90.
The rate of increase set by Cass
county OF more than twice the pre-
vious month was not maintained
throughout the state although there
was an appreciabIe increase that. Is
most gratifying to those having the
sale in charge, especially. In some
cases farmers who had realized a
profitable year invested the maximum
amount, $1,000, in the war savings
stamps.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 2.-In retail

Engine Issue
Not Decided

An $5-pound water pressure for fire
fighting can be raised in ave; to ten
minutes after the alarm is sounded,
John M. Thomson, chief engineer at
the waterworks, told the city commits
sion today in the discussion on Com
missioner Blakemore's resolution or
dering the fire department to take the
fiye-ton steamer to every fire. The
resolution again failed to reach a vote.
Mr.. Thomson estimated that four
and a half tons Of coal would be re-
CURED each month in raising the
pressure from so to So pounds. COM
missioner Jordan voiced the opinion
that with SO pounds : as a starter,
pressure could ne raised fast enough
to handle the average fire, leaving the
taking out Of the steamer to the dis
erection of the chief Of the fire de-
partment.
Five commissioners were present
when the discussion commenced. Only
Messrs. Jordan and Blakemore were
on the job when 1t was concluded, the
others abandoning the session.

Officers Hold
Alleged FIrebug

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 3.-Marmarth
officials are holding a suspect in con-
nection with the destruction by fire
of the Marn1arth Mercantile company
several days ago, and FL. Il. Reade,
state fire marshal. went to Marmarth
yesterday to investigate the case.
Several big fires have occurred in
Marmarth from time to time, each of
them of incendiary origin, and efElc-
ials believe the man they hold is re-
sponsible.
Fire Marshal Reade returned from
Columbus, where he investigated a
fire which had destroyed half a
block and which at first seemed in-
cendiary in origin. investigation,
however, convinced the fire marshal
that a blazing match careiessly
dropped in a pool hall waste basket
lust before the place closed for the
night caused the fire.

The Fargo city commission erred in
increasing salaries of the captain and
sergeant Of police, the policewoman
and the captain and assistant chief
Of the fire department by resolution,
1t developed today when attention
was called to the fact that salaries
for these officers are fixed by ordi-

nance.
AS half months salary has al
ready been paid at the higher scale,

 CANNERy TO
 START WORK

Prepared to handle it's business on larger scale than ever before, the Lighthouse Cannery Company will start operations tomorrow, it was an- nounced today by A. s. Foster, super i intendent of the Cordova plant The company has just completed the con- struction of new building on the City dock, 70 by 40 feet, so that the plant now has a floor space twice as large as a year ago.
 Although the company intended to have the machinery moved into the new building and use the old one as warehouse, the plans were reversed owing to the fact that the manage ment wishes to start operations at once.
 During the 1917 season the Light house Canning Company put up ap- proximately 90,000 cases of clans, and this year the output will be about the same, in all probability.
 Seventy-fve men and women will be employed throughout the season, adding materially to the payroll of COrdoya.
 The Lighthouse Cannery Company was formerly located at Astoria, Ore, but it's complete plant has been moved to Cordova, where the work will be carried on for some years. F. A. Fisher, secretary and treasurer of the company, will be in Cordova this year also, in charge of the office end of the business.

SOLDIER"
 DAY IS BIG SUCCESS

FL CENTRO, Cal, April 19.-"Write to Soldiers day" is a new occasion to be generally observed here at ire. quent intervals in the future. The idea of the day, which originated with a local newspaper, is simply that on a designated date each person in the community will write to some soldier or sailor acquaintance.
 The first Write to Soldiers" day was observed March 21, and brought many hundreds of letters into the To- cal postoffice for the men with the colors. It was so successful that it's sponsors declared they would make it frequent occasion, and would help to spread the idea through other parts of the country.
