her BLUFF CALLED
Sixteen Hundred Proposals Shouted
At Neysa McMein In One Breath.
BY Macmillan Foster.

Paris, Oct. 1.-(By MaiD-Neysa
McMein. the illustrator who paints all
the covers for all the American maya
zines. is in France working with the
Y. M. G A. A few days ago in a Red
Triangle hut out on the Verdun front,
Miss McMein was demonstrating how
easy it is to make $1,000 by drawing
cover for magazine, when one of
the soldier boys in the crowd sang
out: Say, Neysa, where did you get
that name Of yours?"
With good nature, Miss McMein
stopped her entertainment to tell him.
Marguerite is her real name but, not
liking it, she had wished for years
to find substitute. Finally, while
she was visiting Homer Davenport's
horse farm, beautiful Arab mount
was shown to her. Its name was
Neysa, and that settled it; Miss Nc
Mein took it for her own. This ex-
PLANTATION having been made, the
youthful and very good-looking young
artist added that she would like to
change McMein too, but she was
afraid she never could.
Instantly there was roar from the
crowd.
"Oh. yes, you can, Neysa; there's
sixteen hundred Of us in this regiment
that'll do 1t for YOU any time"

London, Sept. 7.-(By MaiD-Eagle
Hut was crowded as usual the other
night when a grizzled veteran in the
uniform % the Second London Scot
fish Regiment made his way to the
desk and asked the "Y" secretary In
charge IL there was any one from Bos-
ton in the building. Before he Joined
the colors Sergeant Major j. Ripple
had lived in Boston, and he yearned
for sight of some one from the New
England metropolis.
Over in one corner of the room two
young men sat in earnest converse
| ton. Both had been blinded on the
Marine and one of them, George Arthur
Sugden had returned from a German
prison camp after eight months to
seek his cousin, Vincent Francis Rip
| Pile. a sergeant in the 31st Canadian
Rifles, in which both had enlisted soon
after the war broke out. BY chance
they had come together under the hos
pitable Y. M. C. A. roof and we're bust
ly engaged in having a real reunion
when the "Y" man shouted through
megaphone
"Is there any one here from Bos-
ton? A veteran who halls from BQs-
home"
Here! Here!" came from the cor
ner and two sightless pairs of eyes
turned toward the voice. And as the
cousins rose to their feet and hating
ly started through the lane made as
the crowd stepped back, Sergeant
Major Ripple pushed toward them.
There was an expression of hope in
his face that the casual observer
would have said could not have been
inspired merely by a desire to see
some one from Boston.
Suddenly that expression of hope
was changed. Sergeant Major Ripple
had been looking everywhere for his
son and his nephew.
"My SOM" he cried, in voice that
shook with emotion. Vincent and
George!"
And in moment his great arms
were crushing them to him. There
were cheers, and not a few tears, as
room was made in the corner for
three.
Soon the two blind boys, will re-
turn to America. They will go first
to La Sale, New York. where Vincent
was living when he enlisted. Sugden
enlisted from East Calgary, Alberta.
But they hailed from Boston, and to
them the Y. M. C.. A. has more than
justified its selection as an essential
part of the military machine. They
announced that any call that may be
made upon their services in connec-
ton with the United War Work cam
paign in America for money to sup
port the work would not be unheeded.

Walking Skeletons Saved.

"If the people of the United States
could see the sight I saw two nights
ago of a trainload of returned Italian
prisoners just arriving from Austria
via Switzerland, they would curse the
kaiser, Germany, Austria and the
whole miserable bunch" So Paul j..
Thompson, Minneapolis attorney now
doing Y. M. c. A. work in Rome,
writes to his former partner, Maurice
Hessian. These returned troops
were walking skeletons, the express
sion gone from their faces. Some
were so weak they had to be carried
on stretchers. Well. thank heaven!

COUNTY AGENT WOLF ADVISES
THE GROWING OF FLAX

County Agent George P. Wolf
has the following to say in re-
gard to growing flax: "The
growing of an increased acreage
OF flax on new land this year will
not only help by making more
land available for wheat in 1919.
but in itself is an important pre.
parednesa measure, as linseed oil
IS needed very largely in supplies
tor the army and navy. Canvas
for tents, and cloths for slickers
are waterproofed with it, while It
is used in painting and water.
IIaaroofing merchant ships and war
vessels, IN treating. gunstocks,
and in many other ways. Farm.
ers in Richland county are urged
to grow more flax this year so
that there will be sufficient lin.
seed oil for these uses. AS the
price is almost certain to be high
here is a good chance to be patri-
otic and at the same time to prof
it by it.

HON. VS.. LADDERS FRIENDS
START CONGRESSIONAL BOOM

A spirit of patriotism leads US to be-
lieve that the time has now arrived to
have strong man for congress and the
candidate we would put forthis in every
way worthy and qualified for the position
for which he is urged by his friends. He
is man who merits and enjoys the most
implicit confidence of all, is man of af-
fairs, plain and practical, of ripe expert
ence, whose judgment and advice is re-
garded with Difference by the ablest men
in this State. BY his honorable achieve
ments he has won an enviable reputation
in political circles in the state; as well as
in legal circles of the Northwest. That
man is the Hon. William S. Lauder of
Wahpeton, whose election would be graf
flying to the people of this district and
an assurance that every interest in the
state and nation would be served within
the scope of his position. Mr.. Lauder
has not sought the position and it is a
case of the position seeking the man and
the people of the district realize that he
is the logical man for the honor, and the
only man who can defeat the kid acrobat,
John Baer, tool of Townley, the bank
rupt. Mr.. Lauder running ON a Loyalty
platform would win the nomination and
election. He would be tower of strength
for good. He would make a congress.
man of whom all should be proud, and
have the endorsement of every citizen.

came to the helm our schools were in the
most terrible condition to say the least
