the House Committee on Agriculture
on Monday and addressed the Com
1pittee for several hours in opposi-
ton to the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Baer for a federal appro-

dressed the Committee on Agriculture
and urged the Committee to favor

ers to put in next spring maximum

SHAWHAN SOME DREAMER

Our mutual friend of Indiana, 5
w. Shawhan, is some dreamer accord
ing to card he sent the editor of
the Graphic He pictured himself
coming out here to visit his friend
w. O. HolIar and calling on us to pay
his subscription. In this dream he
approached the cashier with roll OF
bills as large as a stove pipe and said
he wanted to pay up his subscription
and several years ahead. He didn't
care for expenses and thought we
might need the money. In the last
sketch he> is awake and lamenting
the fact that he ever awoke, stating
that both he and the Graphic editor
would have been better off.
We would be his humble servant
for life if he could furnish subscrlb-
ers with the same dream and keep
them dreaming until after they visit
ed us. However Shawhan yon need
not put off that visit until you have
roll that large. If you do / am
afraid you never will see North Da-
kota.

that faith.
But there is one thing lacking in
that soldier. He is a strong link in
the fighting chain and as the chain
transmission is dependent upon the
sprocket for its power to move, so is
this soldier dependent on his su-
periors. There is no light of keen
intelligence in his eyes. His every
act as soldier depends upon the
thinking and executive ability of the
superior war director or officer.

LAST MONDAY MORNING
w. w. BOARDMAN FORMERLY Y
WITH LUDOWESE ABSTRACT
COMPANY NEW OWNER

Monday morning, w. W. Boardman
assumed the proprietorship Of the
Lyric theatre and John Snyder who
has been the owner and manager for
several years relinquished the posi-
ton to the new owner. During Mr..
Snyder's management the Lyric has
given and has always tried to secure
the he.tEtype of pictures for the pub
lie and in addition to the pictures he
has associated with him an excellent
pianist and violinist who have added
much to the pleasures of the place.
AS Mr.. Snyder is to enter the army it
was necessary for him to secure some
one to IA Ike the place and keep up the
excellent work all ready under way,
and in Mr.. Boardman the place will
always be kept up the past high
standard and whenever advances are
made in the profession he will be
ready to lead in giving the improve
ments to the public. And one of his
first selections for the public will be
to have Vivian Martin back here the
11th and 18th, Monday and Tuesday
of next week. She appeared here re-
Gently in "A Kiss for Susie and found
much favor in the eyes of the Willis
ton movie goers and when she comes
in Little Miss Otimist she will meet
with hearty reception. She is sup
ported in the role by Tom Moore who
is rapidly climbing to the highest
points in filmdom.

TION OF CITY

The church census of Williston
taken the first two days of this week
was practically done Tuesday even
ing, but the tabulation of the reports
has not been completed. Tuesday
afternoon about fifty people of the
various denominations met at the H.
brary and received the census cards
Wednesday morning the pastors OF
the various churches met az the IL
brary to canvas the returns and
classify the results, which work is
still in progress.
One thing noticeable about the TAX
ing of the census was the fine recep-
ton accorded all the enumerators as
Everywhere there was spirit of de-
Everywhere there was a spirit OF de-
sire to help the enumerators and
many things that the churchn1en dis
covered will have distinct bearing
upon future church work in this city.
In many families, children have not
been at Sunday school for the entire
winter. Others, members of the var
ious denominations, were not known
by the pastors and members Of that
particular church.
1t is anticipated from the partially
tabulated reports that the founda-
tions for much intensive work VIII be
laid and when the final report Of the
committees having this work in
charge, is made public, some very in
teresting things will develop.

p London, March 6.-Petrograd is be-
ing evacuated by the Bolshevik gov
ernment. Moscow, the ancient CAPT.
tai, is to again become the seat of the
Russian government, while Petrograd
is to be made free port.
The population of Petrograd is quit
ting it hurriedly and various govern
ment departments are removing fur
ther inland away from the German
invader. Bolshevik councils in Mos
cow and the provinces are said to be
more opposed to the Germans and a
separate peace than those in Petro-
grad.
Previous reports that the hard
terms of the German peace treaty,
which take from Russia thousands of
square miles in Europe and Asia,
would not be accepted by the ALL
Russia congress of workmen's and
soldiers delegates, indicated also that
the non-peace elements in the Bolsh-
evik ranks were gaining the upper
hand. Evacuation of Petrograd was
mentioned as one of the measures
the war party proposed.
Refusal of the peace treaty by the
congress when it meets at Moscow
next week will probably cause the
downfall of Lenine and Trotzky, if
they do not resign beforehand A
section of the Bolsheviki is said to
lean toward the social revolutionists
of the Left, who have been opposed
to the Lenine regime and inclined to
be friendly to the entente allies, al
though favorable to an immediate
general peace. .
Apparently Germany unwittingly
played into the hands of the ALI
Russia congress by granting res
pite before the treaty should be rati'
fed. Reports from Petrograd indi-
cate that the congress and allied or
ganizations will use the intervening
days in recruiting an army and pre-
pairing for defense against the Ger
mans.

"Hello, Smith,

fireman received last evening at the
Lyric when the pictures Of the North
Dakota firemen's tournament at Val
lev City were thrown on the screen
and Mr.. Smith stepped forth from
the film with a broad gauge smile on
his face.
The film was brought here by the
firemen and at an expense to them
selves of a number of dollars, which
the members of the department do
mated. All who saw the pictures were
well pleased. and when the Williston
men loomed in view there was mur-
mur of approval from the spectators.
Beside the firemen's picture "The
Wax Model" starring Vivian Martin
was shown. This was a splendid pic
ture of the bohemianism of the ar
tist life. The theme was we'll chosen
and the artists model showed a char
'acter that could be held exemplary.

COUNCIL RESOLVES
TO CONSERVE FOOD
AT A MEETING OF THE ORGAN
1ZATION, PLANS TO AID Gov
ERNMENT WERE DISCUSSED

At meeting of the Local Council
of Food Conservation held Tuesday
night resolutions were passed favor
ing aiding the government in every
way possible and in serving at lunch
cons and other places, fruits instead
of meats, fats, etc. Also that at
meetings in afternoon and evening at
which foods are usually served, the
lunch be omitted.
A detailed report of the meeting
and it's aims, and the resolutions is
given below.
The Report
We are at war, yet many people
do not realize it. Battle fields are
so far away and cantonment cities
appear as dramatic incidents en!iven-
ing every day life. If we realized
the awful conditions and danger that
are facing our boys over there we
would do differently. We would do as
we did before the war. We are urg-
ed by the Food Administration to use
only a limited supply Of the food that
can be shipped abroad Mrs. Clark
in her burning address told US of the
crisis we are facing. Miss Newton
of the Agriculture College has been
urging us to use substitutes. On
every hand we hear the cry "Con-
serve the food" BY conserving food
we are to do more than to observe
meatless and wheatless days. We
are not to use any more wheat, meat,
fat and sugar than is absolutely nee
essary. We feel that all opposition
to these observances is direct assis-
tance to the enemy. With these thots
in mind the Local Council of Food
Conservation held a meeting Tues
day, passing the following resolu
tons:
Resolved that we recommend the
saving of wheat, meat, fats and sugar
in the home; and urge that lunches
for afternoon, or evening meetings
which hold not later than eleven P
NJ. be dispensed with, and be it fur
ther
Resolved that where lunches are
necessary they be fruit or some foods
which cannot be shipped abroad, and
be it further
Resolved that each individual feel
it his or her duty to fu,t the need
of the saving of these foods that can
be of greatest service to the Nation
in this crisis.
