For An Amputation.

Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Turmy,
from the Rain Valley region,
north from EIgin some seven
miles, have returned to Nogales.
They are at st. Joseph Hospi-
tai, where it is stated that Mr..
Turney is to submit to an ampu-
tation of one of his legs on Sat-
urday, Doctor Smelker to con-
duct, assisted by some of the
army surgeons.
1t will be recalled that in the
fall of 1916 Mr.. Turney was shot
by neighbors, who have been
sent to the penitentiary, and
since that time he has been un-
der surgical treatment a greater
part Of the time. Within fifteen
months he has suffered five op-
erations. Now an amputation of
the injured leg is to be per-
formed.
Only one with wonderful Vi
tality could have survived an Or
deal so great.

A CENTENARIAN.
Celebrates the Anniversary OF
His Birth in Missouri Town.

Ills DlItu III N1lSSOuIl 1OWus
The Kansas City Times of re-
cent date gives an account of the
anniversary of a cencenarian in
that state, which has an interest
in Arizona.
The gentleman who celebrated
an anniversary so remarkable is
Mr.. j. S. Halstead of Brecken-
ridge, in the state named. He is
the father of Mr.. J. D. Halstead,
of the Halstead Lumber Com
yards in a number of Arizona
towns, including Nogales, Phoe-
nix, Globe, etc., and the grand
father of Mr.. Jos. r Halstead,
who was in charge Of the bust
ness at Nogales ur:+i. his enlist
ment in the Aviation Corps last
year.
In the century he has lived
Mr.. Halstead has had many re-
markable experiences, and has
witnessed many great changes in
the United States and their peo-
pie. Railways, electric tele-
graphs, telephones, motor cars,
and scores of other remarkable
inventions were unknown to his
early life.
In early life Mr.. Halstead was
a practicing physician in Lexing-
ton, KY, and he was the family
doctor for Henry Clay. He was
personally acquainted with
President Andrew Jackson, and
he met Lafayette when that ia
NOUS man visited the United
States in 1924. He is probably
the oldest living Free Mason in
the country-not only with re-
gard to age, but in point of men,
bership, for he was initiated in
the degrees in 1910.
Despite his 100 years, Mr..
Halstead is strong and hearty,
quite active withal, and failing
eyesight is the only evidence of
advanced age. He walks daily
from his country home (he owns
and operates a GAO acre farm) to
town, and until about a year ago,
when his eyesight began failing,
he attended all of his business.
The anniversary Of Mr.. Hal
stead was observed by the peo-
pie of breckenridge generally.
All public offices were closed for
a time land callers greeting him
with congratulations by hun
dreds. At dinner that day there
were present four of his eight
children and a majority of his
81 grandchildren and % great
grandchildren His wife, who is
80 years of age, is still living.

A JUST PROTEST.

duction Der0gatory to the
Mexican People, Exhibited
in California Theatres.
Not long ago there was pre-
scented in theatres in San Fran

was direct reflection upon the
Mexican people. Consul Gneral
Ramon de Negri, representing
the republic in San Francisco,
protested against the produc-

dence is presented herewith as
of real interst to raiders of "The

which appeared in the Strand

reason that said film is most de.

was undoubtedly made because
certain workings and portions Of
the most insulting scenes were
cut out of the film, as l later dis
covered.
It was with surprise that
noted that this film was being
exhibited at the Xinema Thea
tre in Oakland, Cal, and, being
desirous of guiding my actions
with all necessary prudence and
complete jurisdiction. I person
ally attended at the Kinema and
witnessed the exhibition of the
entire film, and found it not only
very improper and extremely in

criticism, but found it most cow.

feel very keenly for the SEN
timents which you express in
your letter as I have lived in all
of the principal cities of Mexico
and have met the Mexican people
from the President Diaz down
to the common folks. It has also
been my privilege to travel
throughout Mexico with my boys
on railroad, horseback, coach and
by water, and l am pleased to
affirm that in all my experiences
l never was treated discourte-
Iously, neither was I ever forced
to lock my doors or trunks at
any time.
In view of these experiences
any pictures that would reflect
upon the character of these peo-

for a moment.
welcome this opportunity of
being of any service whatever in
the suppression of any reflection
upon the Mexican people whom
I have found to have a very high
standard of morality and whose
virtue it is a degradation to at
tack.
Assuring you that I will act
Immediately upon your notice

War WORK MUST CONTINUE
MOST URGENT NEED DURING
PERIOD or DISARMAMENT.

Whether peace comes Immediately
or not for some months. the $l1o'
10000 asked for In the United War
Work Campaign must not only be sub
scribed. but must be heavily over
subscribed. In calling attention TO the
need for this ovcrsubscription. John
Il. Mott. director general OF the cam
paIgn. stated In New York. when
budgets for the seven war work
agencies were assembled 1t was
thought there would not 10 more
than one million American SOL
diers In France by November. As
an actual fact there are already
two million fighting men over
there. Moreover. at the same time. II
was anticipated that the total num-
Der OF American soldiers on both sides
Of tho Atlantic BY next summer would
not exceed three million. whereas our
military leaders are now preparing for
an American army before the end OF
next summer Of between four and five
million.
In addition when America entered
the war there were less than seventy
thousand men In the navy. There are
now coo. 900 sailors and marines and
the number will be further greatly In.
creased. II 10 tho desire Of the seven
war work agencies TO help this arm
Of the service a. much ~ any other.
Therefore q much larger sum o.
money will be needed for this pur.

Even though the war were to end

new GRAIN Bin
GETS ATTENTION

Grain bins which can be skidded
to a threshing machine and then
moved to any place on the farm, are
being featured by statesmen Of the
Equity Manufacturing Supply COM
pany of Moorhead, in several of the
hotels this week. The main exhibit
is located at the Metropole and is
in charge of T. G. Boughton, the
sales manager. He is assisted by E..
G. BirdsaI Of Moorhead.
Crowds of farmers are seen about
the exhibits and great interest is
evidenced by the many questions
asked regarding the Eclipse grain
drying grain bin. A vacuum is Gre
ated by the bottom OF this particu-
lar bin, which holds it fast to the
earth and prevents the bin being
blown over by storms or tornadoss.
The bins have Withstood the worst
storms in Kansas and only one re-
port has reached the manufacturing
headquarters Of a bin being wreck
ed. The bins are also equipped with
a heavy roof.
The ventilating system continu-
ously draws the moisture out of the
grain and dries 1t. If any moisture
collects 1t is drawn off as soon as
it accumulates. The intake tubes and
big drter are Of perforated metal.
Other exhibits being displayed by
the Equity Manufacturing Supply
company OF Moorhead include chick
en- feeders and fountains, water cans
and hog troughs, gasoline cans,
handy pals, field measurers, strain
er tunnels and stock troughs.

NEEDED
FOR MEN and WOMEN
Superintendent MeCraeksn Cites
This az Urgent Need in Fargo
at Present Time.

o. E. McCracken, superintendent
of the Glad Tidings mission, says In
his monthly report for December
that the greatest need at the pres
ent time is work in Fargo and Moor
head for both men and women, who
have families dependent on them.
The month OF December" says
the report, has been one Of the most
eventful months in the history of the
Glad Tidings mission in that we
have had more interested in this
line Of work, making it possible for
us to do more and better work than
ever before.
With some IS families listed
and each one cared for by some
charitable organization or church or
private individual. there has been far
less duplication than ever before in
the history Of our charity work in
the city"
The balance of his report follows:
There is also a great demand just
at present for all kinds of clothing,
wearing apparel, especially shoes for
women and children, and we need
not say that this is very urgent when
we consider the price Of these in
the markets of today. The following
will show some Of the actual work
accomplished and with the cooper
alton of our friends who assist us
during the year as they have in the
past, with the finances, we feel as
sured that we shall have, during
the year 1918, the most prosperous
and successful year Of our lives in
this work.
