NEW ENGLANDER HUNG FOR
DISRESPECTING SOLDIER

New England, N. D., March 3D.
Strung up by the neck until he was
black in the face was the fate Of a
New England man for having shown
dsrespect to soldier boys picture.
w. T. Loomis. who has stepson in
the service at Camp Dodge, Ia, took
the boys picture to a man named Ar
mold, who is in business in New Eng
land Loomis wished the picture
framed. Two days later, he returned
to Arnold's store and asked for the
picture. He was told, it is alleged,
that the picture had been burned and
that no soldiers picture would be
framed in his place. LOOMS knocked
the man down.
Later, the same evening, a crowd
called upon Arnold, took him out to
the bridge, placed a rope around his
neck and swung him from the trestle.
After hanging a short time, the man
was lowered to the ground and was
made to retract his statement.

saved himself from capture or death
by drowning by Staying himself with

SOIL FOR GARDEN.

A sandy loan soil with clay sub
soil makes a good garden soil, it is
easily worked and produces smoother
root crops. A heavy soil is more diff
fcult to handle but because of its
moisture retaining capacity, is most
satisfactory for vegetables that re-
quire large amount of moisture dur
ing late summer AN dearly autumn
and for all vegetables in dry year.
A heavy soil con be made more mel
low and the water retaining capacity
of light soils can be increased by the
addition of manure.-Ext. Div. N. D.

A UNIQUE RECORD

Grateful testimony for Doan's Kid

itself convincing evidence of merit:
Confirmed testimony forms still
stronger evidence. Years ago. a cit

knowledged the benefit derived from
Doan's Kidney Pills, The statement
is now confirmed-the proof more
convincing. Cases of this kind are
plentiful in the work of Doan's Kid
ney Pills--the record is unique.

break through in 1914, how can they

break through in 1914, how can they
today?"
Lieutenant McQunarrie took occas-
ion to puncture some Of the German
propaganda that has been spread
around the United States, in the at
tempt to ALLEVIATE our sympathy from
Great Britain. Speaking of the story
that England had put her colonial
troops in the front lines to meet the
worst shock, he said the casualties
among British troops had been higher
than among colonials. The spirit of
Great Britain today is the same as the
spirit of America in 1776, which can't
be beaten. GLOW can you stand by
and let people tell you that America
fought England in 1776? All you
have to do is to read the parliament
airy reports of that time to know that
all the best English leaders were OPP
posed to any attempt to coerce Am
erica. 1t was Britain's German king,
George III, in the saddle, who forced
that war; and victory you won was
as much victory for our rights as for
yours. We celebrate George Wash
ington in our schools today"
Lieutenant McQuarrie said we must
be prepared to sacrifice and to suf-
fer; that is war. A nation is tested
by its action when facing reverses,
not in time of victory. We don't de-
serve liberty if we are not willing to
die for it. 1t is deeds that count;
buying liberty bonds, putting every
last bit of land into crops, REFRESHING
sternly all disloyal sentiments and
absolutely shutting down
the Bolsheviki in our midst. He said:
Remember, your whole nation has
got to be in the fight, not just your
soldiers: and discouraged fighter is
poor fighter You have no reason
to be discouraged; the struggle is
long, but the end is sure. The motto
stands strong above all reach, "They
Shall Not Pass"

BODY 0F"HENRY H|TE
found IN LAKE
Body of Minot Barber Who Disap-
peared in November, Found in
Spring Lake-Funerai in Charge
of Elks Lodge.

Henry Maston Hite, we'll known
barber, who disappeared from Minot
on Nov. IA, 1917, MET his death by
falling thru the ice in Spring Lake, in
the northeastern part of the city, it
was learned Tuesday, when his
body was found by small boys play
ing about the lake. The police depart
ment was notified and the body was
taken to the Rowan undertaking
rooms, where it is being prepared for
burial. The funeral will be held I'M
der the auspices of the Minot Lodge
B. P. O. Elks, from the Elks Home,
and the body will be inferred in this
city, The deceased was a member of
the B. P. O. Elks lodge of Havre,
Mont.
Mr.. Hite disappeared from Minot
very mysteriously on the night of
Nov IA. He had been working at the
E. J. Isliefson barber shop all day
long and leaving his watch, cuff but
tons and a valuable ring at the shop,
departed for home, being taken by
Stanley Francis in his taxi. The
Francis lad let Mr.. Hite out block or
so from his home and it is presumed
that he left the taxi to walk across
the ice to his home. The water is IL
feet deep where the body was found.
The body was so badly decomposed
that it was rather hard to identify the
remains, but this was made possible
by means of small diamond ring on
one of his fingers. While Mr.. Hite
resided south of the lake, the body
was found on the north side, which
looks little queer. The body was
found near the end of the street. Po-
lice say that it is possible he walked
off the end of the twelve-foot diving
board near the place. The police say
that this spot is dangerous and some
sort of protection ought to be built
Mr.. Hite was 80 years of age last
August. He was born at Walla Wal.
la, Wash. He was married to Miss
Signe Lee June II, 1916, and to this
union one child was born. Mrs. Hite
is sister of Mrs. Oscar Sather OF
this city.
He is survived by his wife and three
months old baby boy, a brother anc
a sister in Walla Walla, and two
brothers in Portland, Ore.
Mr.. Hite was man who possessed
a host of friends who extend theil
sincerest sympathy to his wife ant

Plenty of Food in France.

Alfred Mostad, brother Of Sena-
tor Thorwald Mostad, who is fighting
with the American army in France,
writes:
l notice that some of the papers
from the states have big headlines
telling. about the shortage of equip
ment for the army over here, and that
we are not we'll taken care of. No
thing could be farther from the truth
and you may be sure that practically
all of that kind of stuff is peddled by
certain parties for home consumption.

needed, and as for food, while there
are few fancy dishes, there is just

TESTED BY REVERSES
So Declares Lieut. Hector McQuarrie
in His Minot Address-Says British
Will Hold the Germans.

The Grand was packed Tuesday af-
noon to hear Lieutenant Hector Nc
ternoon to hear Lieut.. Hector Nc
ing room was hard to get. Unassum-
ming, humorous, straightforward,
thoroughly in earnest, he held his
audience from the start. He warned
them not to be discouraged by reports
Of German successes, and explained
the methods Of fighting. In prepara-
ton for an attack they assemble vast
stores of artillery. The fire of these
big guns devastates the country be-
fore it. For that reason the front
lines are left with as few men as pos
sible to hold them. The attacking SOL
diers are moved down by rifle and
machine gun fire as they come on.
The defenders retire slowly, and it is
afterwards that reinforcements are
brought up for the defense Of the al
lied line and large bodies of men are
thrown into the fight. Lieutenant
McQuarrie emphasized throughout his
talk the determined spirit Of the Brit
ish. He said the line would hold, as
it had held before; as it had held when
there were only one hundred thousand
British soldiers in France, and large
ly unframed men at. that. Now the
total British army numbers eight mil
lion. ENGLAND will not grant a vic
torious peace the Germans while she
has one man left. If an attack can
not break through within eight hours,
it cannot at all. If they could not

This Lad a Financier.

This has been a good week for the
Minot newsboys. Two or three scores
of the energetic young Americans
who have been selling the extras is
sued by the Independent, have been
making considerable money as the pa
pers have gone like hot cakes. One
little fellow, who did not have any
capital, borrowed a paper from his
little friend, sold it for a nickel, and
invested in extras. In less than two
hours he had 1885 of his own money
in his pockets. He'll be capitalist
some day.
