BARRIE CELEBRATED CHRIS.
T|AM ENOEAvOR PICNIC

Saturday, June 18th, occurred
the annual Barrie Christian En-
deavor picnic, and it proved to be
one of the most successful ever
held by this popular young peo-
pie s organization. Though the
day was somewhat threatening
from weather standpoint, the
crowds came from all directions
and by one O'Clock fully two thou.
sand people had gathered to spend
the day with the Z. E. society, and
to listen to an address by Cover
nor Frazier. which was the chief
attraction of the day. Attorney
General LANCER was also billed for
an address but was unable to an
pear.
Immediately after dinner, a pro
gram OF races was pulled off, in
Guiding boys and girls foot races,
three legged race and sack race. A
farmers base ball game caused
considerable merriment.
+ Following the races, Vivian
Morgan, i'll his usual able manner,
introduced Governor Frazier. The
governor held the attention of his
audience and was often interrupt
ed with rounds of applause. His
address was purely patriotic and
among matters touched upon was
the fact that North Dakota has
over subscribed each of the Liber-
ty Loans and has royalty support
ed the Red Cross, the Y. NJ. C. "A.
and the K. of c.. which organiza-
tions are doing so much for our
boys across. He urge dupon all the
necessity of food conservation and
the need of ordering the fuel sup
ply now so that the cars can be
had later ON for moving the crop
without delay. He also paid a we'll
merited, glowing tribute to the
North Dakota boys who are serv-
ing the colors in France. In clos
ing his address, the Governor call
ed attention to the necessity of
better schools and better educated
boyse and girls on the farms and
urged hat consolidated schools be
built in all rural communities
throughout the state.
The ball game between Leonard
and Sibley was fast and interest
ing and resulted in score of 5
to 6 in favor Of Sibley.
The Barrie Band was present,
as usual, and furnished excellent
music throughout the day.

This paper has enlisted
with the government in the
cause Of America for the
period of the war. ......

A grand and glorious fourth has
always been the screaming head
lines of every newspaper and pos
ter that greeted the readers as the
day Of Independence drew near.
Wahpeton will celebrate this year
and while it will embody all these
things it will be safe and sane
celebration.
The Wahpeton Citizens Reserve
is behind the celebration and they
are putting every energy into the
proposition to make it the best and
most successful that was ever
staged in this part of the north
west. The money derived will go
into the Golfers of this organization
to provide funds for the entertain.
ment of draft quotas. This reserve
company is patriotic organization
and they likewise plan to make
this day an emblem of patriotism
This day has always been heralt
ed as day Of pleasure, carefree
day.. day Of exhiliratien, symbolic
ed by the shooting off of fireworks
and sports Of all sorts.
Let this be the greatest get t.
gether meeting Of this section
Z. which not onl% includes RichIant
county. but al Inc people from
other counties in his section o1
the country. Patriotism will reign
supreme. Our forefathers bled an.
died for liberty and for that lib
erty we celebrate and pledge our
selves anew. to stand by our allie:
and fight until the great victory i:
won, and nations free from tyran
ny and oppression can abide in
peace and security.

In 1908, when the revolutionary
Turkish government was for freedom,
Germany opposed it; when it became
tyrannical Germany made this govern.
ment its ally. The German govern.
ment harassed France not merely be.
cause 1t was its ancient enemy, but
because its success as republic made
the French people perilous to princes
The German government plotted to re-
store the Manchu Emperor and the
Russian Gar to their thrones.
Because the American people by its
prosperity and power made liberty
desired by all the world the German
government has been Its secret enemy.
Thirty years ago it plotted against our
treaty rights in Samoa; it sent its
fleet to worry and threaten Dewey
at Manila in 1898; it offered to Eng
land, which refused, to overturn the
Monroe Doctrine in Mexico. 1t has in
fifteen years threatened Venezuela,
Mexico, Hayti and other Americ can
states. When we were maintaining
peace under great provocation, 1t pro.
posed to Mexico and Japan to attack
us. both refusing. 1t betrayed inter-
national faith in the dispatches sent
through the Swedish Minister. 1t filled

after what Belgium suffered, to fight

The following request has beer
received by County Food Admin
istrator Aspinwall from f. F.,
Ladd, administrator for the state,
1t explains itself and should bt
read carefully and it's admonitiors
respected.
Further restrictions as to beef
consumption for both hotels and
households are requested ii.
message from Hoover.
"lhe demands for beef for ouI
army and the allied armies ano
their civil populations for this
summer are beyond our present
surplus. On the other hand, we
have enough increased supply Of
pork this summer to permit eco
nomical expanse in it's use. 1t viii
therefore be a direct service to oul
armies and the allies if our peo.
pie would in some degree substi
tute fresh pork, bacon, hams and
sausage for beef products. We re-
quest all hotels and restaurants
not to place on their menus OF
serve boiled beef more than one
meal weekly and roast beef more
than one meal weekly. We ask
householders not, under any cir
cumstances, to buy more than l Ia
lbs, Of clear beef weekly, or l IL
lbs, including the bones, per per-
son in the household. The public
will realize that the changing con.
ditions Of production from season
to season, the changing situatio in
shipping and therefore of the mar
kets available to the allies, and the
increasing demands for our grow
ing army with the fluctating sup
ply of local beef in France. all
make it impossible to determine
policies for long periods in ad-
vance. We have recently asked for
economy in all meat consumption
We wish now to emphasize further
reduction of beef by the substitu-
tion of pork. 1t is anticipated that
it will hold good until September
18th and the cooperation of the
public is most earnestly requested.

CIRCUS TRAIN BADLY WRECK
EO-...m MANY were KILLED

Sixty-two bodies of the Hagen
back Wallace circus employees, who
perished in the wreck six miles
west OF Gary,sind., Saturday, rest:
ed in Temporary morgues at that
place and at Hammond Sunday
while the circus officers made fran
tic efforts to compile an accurate
list of the victims. Only "a of the
bodies have been identified. Most
of the other corpses are charred
and mangled beyond recognition.
Edward N. Ballard, general man
ager. of the circus, Sunday night
issued a statement saying tig lres
compiled indicated that the death
list would total "a. He said that
hasty check up of the scattered
employees showed a list of go miss
ing inaddition to the "a identified
dead.
1t is said that most of the GO
missing were "razorbacks" q num-
ber of whom were negroes.

has been given up as dead. I'arts
Of two bodies cremated in the fur
mace of tangled steel and ti1nbers

Central equipment train cru,Al,led
the fiimsy circus coaches, were dug
out Sunday night. The authorities
said that if the death list is as
great as estimated by circus men,
the additional bodies being re.luc-
ed to ashes.
An inquest will be held in Han-
mond tomorrow morning. Gustave
Klauss, fireman of the troop train
oe empty coaches, was ordered
brought to Hammond.
"We will have the engineer, AL
cnzo X. Sargent. present when we
are ready for him" was all Dco--
uty Coroner Green of Lake county
would say. Sargent is being held
in Kalamazoo, Mich. Neither man
was injured.
The list of injured in hospitals
was reduced to 5S here and 20 in
Hammond. Only three or four Of
these are expected to die. The
greuesome task of trying to ident-
ify charred corpses continued
throughout the day with the influx
of relatives of victims. Little pro-
gress was made. Circus folks,
swathed in bandages and many on
crutches haunted the morgue in
search Of relatives. Mrs. Grace Jes-
sup Of Toledo. Ohio. became hys.
terical and had to be carried away
when she finally found the body
of her son. Leroy. a ticket seller.
New York and Chicago theatri.
cal men and officers of the show
mems league sent representatives
here today to offer assistance to
the injured and their dead rela-
tives. Plans were made providing
for lot in which all unidentified
victims be buried under single
monument. None of the $25. 900 in
cash reported by the circus officers
as being lost was recovered.

that the work must be what is re-

the allotments. We hope not only
for the cooperation of every

The Red Cross commission in
France and Italy have sent in an
order for so kinds of hospital and
refugee clothing. Each division is
allotted an assortment of articles
and each chapter is given for the

A portion of this work will be
