Would Rather Wear
Stripes Of A Convict
Thar Khaki, Says Cady

Minot. N. D.. Feb. IT'D rather
wear the stripes of a convict than the
khaki of a soldier" declared a local
mar named Cady to Red Cross work
ers this morning when a committee
approached him to sign the Red Cross
pledge. The men brought him to
headquarters in the Association of
Commerce building, where he repeat
ed the assertion before the men in
charge of the drive. Cady refused to
sign the pledge as did his two broth
ers. The entire trio have declined to
buy Liberty Bonds or otherwise as
sist the government. The matter has
been referred to the federal authori-
ties.
The three Cady men are recognized
Socialist leaders and were prominent
assistants of Arthur LeSuere, o. NJ.
Thomason and ID. c. Dorman, when
these men. now prominent in the Non
partisan league, caused the l. w. w.
trouble in Minot a few years ago.

the innocent, these raperS OF women
these bloody-handed fiends who have
turned Il sweet and happy land into a
desert filled only with horror? Can
anyone doubt? What would be his
answer to the claim of divine authoriS
ty for autocracy. to the crushing Of
the people under the heel of militar-
ism? What to our duty toward the
suffering and the oppressed, and to
the terrible threat against u own
land and Institutions? -
We all know.
Therefore is it for each one of US
to whom Lincoln's name is a sacred
name, to us who love and reverence
his memory and believe hat what he
did was right and what he thought
was noble, to ~consecrate ourselves
anew to the work before us, and to
,spare nothing until the victory is won.
1t will be won't has already been
won. through the long history of the
world, or we should not now he a
free people. But it can only be won
lrby sacrifice IN determination, by u,s
falling courage, by something of thai
same subiinaity, which, perhaps, found
its completest earthly expression in
Lincoln.
Let US try to be worthy of Lincoln
there is no other way in which we
can return in some slight measure all

that We are, indeed, his countrymen.

Washington. Feb. 12.-Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield is expected to re-
scind tonight the heatless Monday Or

rector General McAdoo he went over

LAMAR AND THE MOVIES
Film Company Decides Lamar is the
Choice Location of This Section
of the Country for the
Industry.

Since the Pathe company took pic
lures here in January, 1914, of our
Ramal Day celebration of the opening
of the milk condensery, our city has
not had much experience with the
movies except to attend the shows.
However, p. b. Patrick, manager of
the International Film Co., who was
here a few weeks ago on a tour of
inspection of various locations in this
section of the country, has returned
and announces like all others that La
mar is in a class by itself and is the
best town of its size outdoors. His
company has decided therefore to es-
tablish its headquarters and chief
studio here and the manufacture of the
latest thrillers in motion pictures will
soon be one of the list of Lamar's pro-
ducts. Mr.. Patrick is an experienced
man in this line and he will soon have
a complete staff of artists and up-to-
date equipment here for the installa-
ton Of his studio and the manufacture
Of films. A number of local people
are among the stockholders.

YOU ARE INVITED

Did you know that Lamar had
golf club?
Perhaps not-for the executive COM
mittee which was appointed some time
ago, has been working much and say
ing little.
Such is the case, however!
A fine plot of ground (85 acres just
west of the fair grounds-bordered by
18th street on the east and the river
on the north) has been purchased out
right at a ridiculously low price;
fences have been torn down and put
up; the irrigation canal has been
bridged at two places; the boxes have
been built; greens have been sanded
and oiled, and everything possible has
been done to give Lamar citizens a
place to exercise and play "the busi-
ness mans game"
War time is golf time-do not get
the idea that it is not. Witness the
cases of President Wilson and others
of the big men in business and poll
tics. They realize that war-time-busi-
ness calls for efficient work-and ef-
icient work Games from reasonable
amount of wholesome, outdoor, "wor-
ryless" exercise.
Some of US can not take time for
long vacations this year. Too busy!
But we can give an hour in the even
ing, or perhaps two hours, twice a
bn
links. 1t will pay-pay in actual dol
lars and cents.
But about that invitation!
This golf course is now ready and
the executive committee wants to dedi-
cate it. Some local enthusiasts are
already playing. That is alright, but
they want EVERYBODY to try it out.
And as the best way of getting at
this, an official opening day has been
designated.
Tuesday, July Both, is the date
selected.
At 400 o'clock on Tuesday (or as
soon thereafter as possible) club mem
bers and their friends will motor to
the golf links. If you haven't car
handy. there will be several on Main
street ready to give you lift. Once
at the grounds, everybody will be CIV
en- an opportunity to "bif the illusive
pill" for an hour or SO under the in
struction of as many more-or-less-ex-
perts as the city affords.
You will miss dinner, you say ?
Sure! But that does not mean that you
will 60 hungry:
The committee is not overrun with
funds and therefore cannot prepare an
elaborate feed. But if sandwiches and
cakes and lemonade will strengthen
you for the ordeal, they will be there
-free-at your service.
Now please do not overlook this
date or forget all about the invitation.
II you are Lamar business man (or
woman) or If you are otherwise of
(reasonably) mature age and likely to
be at all interested, you are invited.
The date is Tuesday, July 30th.
Don't forget.

The Roosevelt School District will

architect for the protection of the dis
