The kidneys do their utmost to tres

Of North Dakota's voters are either

Under the absent voters law every
soldier can cast his ballot in the No

The boys in Khaki should not have
to consider NOW any matter that
will effect US but very little until
AFTER the war is over. We are
working under war orders now.
But this will be the future home of
"our boys" and when economic dis
turbances affecting the future are
threatened, they have a right to help
to decide what disturbances there
shall be BEFORE THEY GET BACK.
Fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters,
relatives and friends can render the
State and Nation a patriotic service
by helping the boys in this matter.
Send to the County Auditor of some
boys home county, his latest military
address, and request that a ballot be
sent to him. Requests Of this kind
from several parties for the same boy
will be better than no request for
some boys. Send request for some
one.
Then write the boy letter telling
him that you have requested a ballot
for him and send him all the in

as easy as possible for him to vote
wisely. ..

boatmen, however, conceived the idea
of running q boat through the rapids

the little boat braves the rapids. The

need to be, for the small craft Is DASH

FR0IssART AND HIS HISTORY
9Ir John cIsverIy Wigoled Out Data
From the Various Errant
knights Of 1857.

Years ago. when I was a small boy,
I came to bracket Sir John Froissart
with Tacitus, personages who recorded
dull historical facts in needlessly diff
ficult language. OF the two I disliked
Froissart the more, for he wrote In ar
chaic Norman French, to which tho
dictionary often offered no clew, says
writer in the London Times.
OF course I have recast these sOpin-
ions, but so many years have passed
since read and really enjoyed the
cheerful Hainaulter's ambling through
the history of his times that his book
and it's theme were dim in my memory.
What remained vivid enough was the
recollection of his method, for seldom
has historian gathered material In
such wise. Bidden by his master,
Count Robert de Namur, to write a
record of "the wars" young John
Froissart saddled gray nag, whistled
up useful white hound, which could
always be trusted to add a hare or
rabbit to the pot, and set off on his
travels.
On the road he would fall in with a
knight or man ut arms, and worm out
of such chance companion the stories
of their prowess. At evening, in hos
telry, monastery or feudal castle, in re-
turn for his own lively yarns, he would
be told others. Bit by bit he built up
a wonderfully accurate narrative of
events in Flanders, in northern France
and in England. He wrote his history

SUFFs PRESENTING THEIR SIDE
DEATH OF MRS. CANARY


The Kings Daughters, who have
been caring for a Mrs. Canary in
Tuckertown north of North 0cala,
for long time were amazed to hear
this morning that she died Friday
night last, and was buried Sunday.
The Kings Daughters have been
caring for Mrs. Canary long tine,
as she has been very Ill for many
months. They took her box Of food
and clothing Christmas eve.
Mrs. Canary had been married
four times, her marriage to Mr.. Can
ary, a young New Yorker, taking
place about three years ago. She
leaves a son, Mr.. SummerIin and
family and her husband whose
whereabouts are unknown.
She was the mother Of William
Summerlin, who was killed in q bat
tie against half the men in town sew
eral years ago. He made fort out
of his mothers house, and fought
till his ammunition gave out. William
Hutson was mortaIly wounded in this
fight, and Henry Gordon, who tried TO
rescue Hutson, was SO severely
wounded that his life was despaired
of.
