of their own medicine. The Ameri-
can Red Cross is doing a wonderful
work over there and after one of the
air raids he saw over seventy Red
Cross ambulances on the scene few
minutes after the raid. When one Of
the munition factories blew Zip in
Paris the American Red Cross was on
the scene thirty minutes ahead of any
other division.
Mr.. Upton said that the French
people marval at the trip-hammer
style in which the Americans do
things and said that the average
American could do the work of nine
Frenchmen. The shops Of Paris are
full of American made goods and
when a person wants a superior ar
ticle they show them the ones manu-
factured in the United States. The
French people do not believe when
told that the Americans build in one
day at Philadelphia eight large r. R..
engines and that the American fac
tories turn out one of the street cars
as they use every hour in our fac
tory. He said that everybody should
learn the French, and Spanish Ian
guages as we are going to do ter
mendous business with those coun-
tries in the future and it will be to
our advantage to be able to talk to
them. He was also Of the opinion
that the German language should not
be taken out of our schools as we
were going to have to supply their
country with goods also and it was
to our advantage to be able to talk
to them. It would be good thing
to-day if every one of our boys in the
army could talk and understand Ger
mar> and we would be able to know
more about them and what they were
/ talking about.
In talking with the boys they ask
ed him to tell the home folks to write
more letters and to send them the
napers. at least clip the important
home news that would be of interest
to them and send it over.
Don't think the boys are going to
die. said Mr.. Upton, lots of them will
return and when they do they will
follow up their old work here. Not
in the way they did formerly but in
! bigger way as they are learning to
do things in a big way over there and
will continue to do so on reaching
home.
While there Mr.. Upton went over
1 American made railroads and travel
Williston graphic., 1918-07-18

They are putting in regular hours
and plenty Of exercise. The moral
is good and the boys are in the best
of spirits and are having bully good
time. While at the American army
camp Mr.. Upton had the only white
bread and apple pie that he had dur
ing his stay in France.
|. The women Of France are not knit
ting like the women here, said Mr'
Upton, but they are doing the mems
work. Many of them are working
in the railroad yards, shoveling coal
on many of the engines and dong
the work Of those that have gore 70
the front. In London nearly every
street car is run by women. Whlle
in Paris Mr.. Upton witnessed the
shelling of the city by the long range
gun and said that very little naterlai
damage was done but it caused
great panic among the people. He
saw one of the shells strike the fourth
floor of one of the buildings and stat
ed that the shell merely tore a hole IN
the building and landed on the f1oo1
of the room doing very little damage
At the time of the late drive of the
Germans for Paris Mr.. Upton stated
that the prisoners taken had VIII
them new suits of dress cloths when
they said were to be woln at the cei,
ebration their commanders hald tolo
them about that they were going e
%h1 a. - Dns mr.
ing there.
Mr.. Upton had the chance Of see.
ing most of the U. S. Army in France
and from the figures t!:at he obtain.
ed estimated their strength at no,
less than two million men. He told
OF the terrible brutalities Of the Ger.
mans and saw thousands Of their vic
TINS. He said that the old and Grip.
, pied of Germany had been led Out
into no-mans land and killed. This
performance was of double purpost
i for the Germans. First that the allies
, might waste their ammunition or
them and second to raid Germany Of
their care.
;. While in London he witnessed ar
air raid and saw the terrible destruc'
tlon wrought. The shell tearing holes
IN tire street twenty-five feet deer
and many times falling amongst 8
mass Of people snuffing out hundreds
of lives at once. In commenting or
| this point Mr.. Upton was Of the opin
ion that the way to deal with the
| Huns was to give them a good dose
Williston graphic., 1918-07-18

During his first twenty-three days
as district attorney he compelled
thirty-eight persons to plead guilty to
gambling and the illegal sale Of
liquor. He later took up the prose-
cution of crooked public officials, and
every one he accused vas made to
plead guilty, to pay back stolen public
funds, and take sentence in the
state penitentiary. In one county he
compelled crooked officials to return
$4,000 of stolen funds to the county
treasury. 3 Il.
George A. Carlson is a man you
will delight to know. He is "home
folks" the kind Of a man you will
enjoy hearing because you know that
he is sincere. His life is typically
American. He has won his battles by
hard work.
From the plain, hard task of lum.
berjack to the chief seat in his state
government may be long stride. But
Carlson took it and his successes as
well as his great lecture make the
path of progress look simpler and cas-
Ter to all.

OF the price Of progress than Hon.

voyage across was without events but
upon approaching the other side the
passengers were notified and asked
to sign up to take certain life boat
in case of trouble and all were COM
PEELED to sleep with their cloths on.
Then is when a person becomes un-
easy and realizes that there is {. war
going on.
On reaching the other shore / had
the chance to witness the scenes
around one of the large hospitals and
saw thousands upon thousands OF
wounded soldiers, many without arms
and legs and many blind and disfig-
ured.
Mr.. Upton said further that there
was one thing that he regretted and
that was that he didn't have any boy
to serve. The people at home mus,
remember that the boys from her:
are amongst foreigners in a foreign
land and that all that is possible must
be done for them. While there Mr.
Upton had the chance to live siN
days in one of the army camps with
the boys and go through their daily
life with them. He said that the peo.
pie at home had no occasion to wor.
ry as they were receiving the best OF
everything. The boys are we'll fec
and are under strict military disiplin
which is making men out of them

He said that the Allies had great
confidence in the Americans and they
were all in the war till the finish.
After Mr.. Upton's talk Mr.. Hall
made a short talk on the Farm Bu-

county after which very interesting
talk was given by Mr.. Hoverstead

count of the large amount of work
that he had on hand was unable to
come so sent Mr.. Hoverstead in his
place. ~.
The meeting was very successful
one and was we'll attended. One of
the features was the ice cream serv-
ed to the guests by the creamery
which was of the usual high quality
and gave the people sample of the
product they are turning out.

ELECTION RETURNS
WILL BE LATE TONIGHT
The Banner Will Furnish Reports
From the State and County
Primary This Evening.

The Banner has arranged to secure
returns tonight from the state pri-
mary election, but those interested
must not expect news too early The
polls do not close until O'Clock and
it will probably be 10 o'clock before
the figures will begin to come in.
In the larger towns and cities the
count will be slow owing to the many
contests and the full result is not
likely to be known until we'll into the
morning and perhaps not until tomor-
row If the contests are close
In many Of the small towns the
telephone office coses early and in
some cases it may not be possible to
telephone after the count is com
pleted
The Banner will keep open house
tonight and all parties and all
partisans OF any candidate are invited
to call. Don't bring arguments or
hard feelings The Remington way
is to fight it out until the polls close
and then count fair and good natured-
ly accept the result. We shall all be
friends and neighbor5 tomorrow
Only few small souls make them
selves unhappy by harborng grudges
after a contest is ended,
Those who can't call at The Banner
Office tonight are at liberty to tele-
phone. up to one o'clock when the Of
fee will close until o'clock tomor-
row morning In the morning there
Is no use telephoning until O'Clock
as The Banner Office will not be open
until that hour
The associated press is to supply
the returns tonight They have put
IN a special wire and Western Union
instruments and have arranged to
cover the state
