expert tractor repair work done by

quence Of his brutal crime. Bredesen
is said to have been Of quiet dispo-

some. His father, Emil Bredesen, re-

homestead at Colgan, Divide County.
The coroner's jury returned a YER
dict that Bredesen came to his death
at the hands Of Jack Love. Attorney

father to assist in the prosecution of
Love, coming to the city in company
with his other son Saturday for that
purpose.

-FOUR SONS IN SER
VICE, NO WONDER
THEY ARE PROUD
Mr.. and Mrs. F. E Holmes Have Three
Boys Already in France-One IL
in the Navy.
(Spokane Dailv Chronicle.>

(Spokane Daily Chronicle.)
Among the prOudest parents In
Spokane are Mr.. and Mrs. F. E.
Holmes, E3OO3 Illinois avenue. And
the reason is this: They have four
sons in the uniform of Uncle Sam.
Three of them are wearing the
khaki and are already in France. The
fourth is in the seaplane service of
at Philadelphia.
The boys are Frank, corporal in the
machine gun instruction camp in
France. Harry Myhre, corporal in the
airplane instruction camp in France;
Lowell, corporal in the seaplane ser
vice, temporarily in Philadelphia and
Earl, private in Company B, 161st in
| fantry, now in France.
"I'm mighty proud of my boys"
said Mr. Holmes. "They are doing
what they can, and I feel that all
those splendid American boys who
have gone over there as my boys
have, are going to return"
In his last letter home to his par
ents Frank inclosed a poem which he
wrote, and which carries the spirit Of
the boys cover there" 1t is entitled
"Bill Enlisted" and reads:
'Bill Enlisted
Pa and Ma and all the family
Are acting kind of sad,
But guess they feel as / do
Underneath they're sort Of glad
Ma she sometimes cries about it;
And my dad just sort of laughs
Because Brother Bill enlisted
Fore they caught him in the draft.
Pa he reads the latest items
All about our troops in France;
, When he reads of their reception,
Cash! his eyes just seems to dance.
And he reads about our gunners,
How they sink the Huns seacraft
Since Brother Bill enlisted
Fore they caught him in the draft.
Ma, she's always writing letters
Sisters got the knitting craze
And | guess Pm the proudest
Fellow in the town these days.
It's lonely here without him,
And l miss the way he laughed
Since Brother Bill enlisted
Fore they caught him in the draft.
Even though Pas sad, he's chesty,
And Mas sure a mother proud,
And Sis has soldier sweetheart;
Hush! Don't mention it out loud.
So underneath we're mighty glad;
You can bet we're never chaffed.
For Brother Bill enlisted
Fore they caught him in the draft.
Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, referred to
above, have returned from Spokane
and are now "doing their bit" on their
farm IL miles north of Minot

The Loan Campaign.

Revision of plans of the fourth lib
erty loan campaign have been rendered
necessary by the several measures for
checking the spread of influenza, but
the campaign will go forward to sue
cessful finish. There must be no halt
ing in the work, no abatement of en-
thusiasm and no tlessening in. the vol
ume of subscriptions. With plans dis
rupted for stirring mass enthusiasm,
individual missionary effort must be
increased. This is provided by the
call of the liberty loan committee for
$500 men and women to volunteer for
the canvass to begin on Sunday and
to continue till every home in the Dis
trict has been solicited. The loan will
be put over. No doubt of that big
fact should be permitted to find a lodg-
ment in anybody's. mind. There must
be no failure, and there will be no
failure. The people of the District
have money'in hand and in prospect
through their.earning capacity to take
their share ofsgovernment securities az

Frosted Cakes Banned,

Food Administrator Hoover has or

is no prospect Of an early increase
in the supply. Sugar is needed for or
binary food purposes too urgently to
be used in such luxuries as cake icings
Cake is toothsome even if not Frosted"
A request to cut out the iced cakes
should be regarded as a rule. Hereto
fore the food administrators requests
have been cheerfully and universally
granted by the people. The various
days of abstention from particular sta
pies of diet have been generally and
conscientiously observed. And so it
should be in the matter of the cakes.
The food administrator has not i'm
