Their function is to keep a sharp eye
on the surroundings of the canton
ments so as to ward off possible cpl
denies. An interesting illustration Of
this function of the Red Cross occurred
recently at Camp Wheeler. Macon. Ga.
This cantonment is half surrounded by
swamps. The surgeon generals office
reported that this germ breeding terri
tory undoubtedly would bring about an
epidemic of malaria or typhoid in the
as a menace to the health of the SOL
diers. When it came to the point OF
cutting a ditch to carry off the swamp
water, however. the War Department
was helpless. because the law express
ly forbade it to improve private prop
erty at public expense. The Red Cross
therefore appropriated $500 to cut the
necessary bitches. thus. in the opinion
of the surgeon generals experts. pre-
venting an incipient epidemic.
Laboratory Units in Pullman Car.
In connection with the sanitary units
the Red Cross is supporting four mo-
bile laboratory units for emergency
service at the cantonments. naval sta
tions and other troop centers. Each is
ped as a laboratory and manned by a
cars are held ready to be dispatched on
emergency call to any camp where the
outbreak of an epidemic demands high
ly specialized laboratory work. Every re-
source Of modern science is made availa-
BILE in the fight against the epidemic,
whatever it may be. The purpose Of the
Red Cross bureau of sanitary service liz to
protect the health of the soldier by
remedying conditions that may affect it
injuriously, whether these be within the
contonment or outside it's boundaries and
beyond military control.
Cooperation with local health au-
thorities, therefore. is essential. The
service, in effect, is the furnishing of
expert advice to local and state health
boards. which frequently are not in a
position to cope with new conditions
resulting from the establishing of the
environments. When a request for aid
comes the Red Cross promptly furnish
es the supplementary assistance by as
signing to the district in question a
group of trained psychologists, SAM
tary inspectors and nurses, with an
appropriation sufficient to guarantee
necessary equipment. transportation
and maintenance.
Points to which sanitary units have
already been assigned are: Columbia,
S. c.; Little Rock. Ark: Louisville, Des
Moines, Fort Leavenworth. Kan: Hat

Work Done in Knitting.

There is no single work SO important
for the soldier as the vast campaign of
knitting in which the Red Cross has
marshaled the women of the nation, and
there is no subject about which such
misconceptions exist, and none that has
been the subject of SO many fabrications.
The latest figures available. which are by
no means complete. show that more than
900, 600 sweaters have been sent to SOL
diers in the cantonments and abroad,
through the Red Cross, more than 13o, 900
helmets, $50, 900 wristlets, 1925, 900 muff1ers
and 400, 900 pairs of socks.
Large numbers of other articles also
have been provided. such as bed wrappers,
ward slippers. sheets, blankets. pillows
and pillowcases. bed socks, pajamas. etc.
All of these are made without cost to the
Red Cross. which in many cases simply
purchases the materials and resells them
to the chapters. Comfort kits also are
made by the women--smal khaki cloth
bags containing such personal accessories
as soap. wash cloths. heavy socks, shaw
ing materials. pipe and tobacco, writing
and games. Three types of kits
are made. two for field use and one for
patients in hospitals. The first detach-
ments of Gen. Pershings expeditionary
force were all supplied before they sailed
for France.

Instances Of Emergency Work.

At one of the southern environments last
November there were 400 sick soldiers
and hospital with only 1000 beds. The
Red Cross representative there imme-
diately procured 10000 additional sweat
ers and 10000 blankets and bed comforts
and thus helped to remedy a dangerous
situation.
At a recruiting station in the middle
west the officer in charge had on his hands
1880 to 5000 more men than he could ac-
commodate.
The Red Cross agent there completed
negotiations for emergency use of the
Y. M. c. A. building and two local arm
Dries and made arrangements for imme-
diate dispatch of SEQ Red Cross emer-
gency blankets to the point. These are
two typical instances of the kind of
work that is constantly being done.

while large consumers receive ice at

out the sworn statements now re-

sugar may be purchased, even tho
they had enough sugar on hand, If
the manufacturer was included un:

Manufacturers who fail to re-
turn these statements will be re-

MILLS SPEAKS TO
LARGE. CROWD HERE /!
! 80. y s.. -.

Bowbells gave Walter, Thomas
Mills an entirely different .reception
last Friday evening than what the
cities in some Of the states had been
giving speakers for the Nonpartisan
!, League, and the members of the or
,sganization appreciate it. We do not
believe that any speaker in the past
that ever visited Bowbells drew as
large number of people or from
:as long distances as did Mr.. Mills.
Practically every farmer who could
get away and who lives within a
radius of. ten miles of town was
present Mayor ]. w. Moore ar
ranged for the Seimers, Band to play
a few selections before the speaking
began, and also assisted the COM
mittee in charge of arrangements In
every way possible. Other resi-
dents of Bowbells also did all they
could to make the visitors as COM
Portable as possible during the meet
Ing. The address was delivered
from q stand in the center of the
Main street in front Of the Hurry
block, and the street was protty we'll
filed with people for half block.
Not only members of the league but
others who are against the league
were present to hear the. address.
and Sit must be admitted that the
way Mr.. Mills handled the big cor
poration proposition was enough to
+. convince most anyone that there was
!: something wrong somewhere with
: the present state of affairs in this
country. The whole of~the speech
), ,simmered down showed that the
farmers who produced various. COM
!: modities were receiving only about
/: half of what the ultimate consumer
was paying for the same commo-
/. dities, the balance of the selling
:: price going to the middle men. 1t
!; is the middle men that the league
lis endeavoring to eliminate, and Mr..
Mills showed many places where
tthey were responsible fo- the pres
cent big prices prevailing. AL peo-
7ple present were more than pleased
with the address, and felt that the
teffort. of coming to BOwbells on this
occasion was we'll spent. The peo-
Ipie of Bowbells are also glad to
Mave these meetings held here, and

BEACH TAILOR P|NCHEO
! HAS PLENTY BOOZE

. Special Agent Johnson Of the
Northern Pacific railway furnished
information to the sheriff of Col
den Valley county this week which
resulted in the arrest Of Beach
tailor, and the confiscation of So
gallons of whiskey on his premises.
Johnson's suspicious had b Q n
aroused, and he visited the tailor on
the pretext of ordering suit of
clothes, saying he resided in the
Bismarck territory. During the
course Of conversation the tailor
asked him-if he wouldn't like little
booze to take back with him, saying
he had some good stuff at SIG per
gallon. The detective made ar
rangements to purchase a gallon
and stated he would call for it the
following morning. The next morn
ing the~sheriff called on the man and
found 63 gallons, each labeled, with
the name and address of man In
Minnesota. Mr.. Johnson stated
that the tailor had evidently been
in the habit of making the different
towns along the line. including
Dickinson, and disposing of whiskey
under thes comoufage of ta1lor's
samples. If caught with the goods
along the way, he would undoubted-
lv have claimed that they were con-
signed to the Minnesota party from
Montana, and not for use in North
Dakota.
a w. S. s.
i, Last Friday evening during the
Nonpartisan meeting some thief en-
tered the stable of the Schultz Bros.
in east Bowbells and stole a horse
collar and a sweat pad, both Of
which were new and had been pur
chased only few days before. The
collar was of the "a inch size and
much too large. for an ordinary
horse, and it is believed that after
the thief discovered this, he threw
il away, as it was found the follow
ing morning by August Peters in
front of his residence. The sweat
pad, however, was kept by the thief.

ATTEMPTS TO KILL
WOMAN AND SUICIDE

Minot, N. D., June 6.--Mrs. Err.
nest Forrest, q widow diving Just
south of Bel1eld. lies perilously
near death at the Office of DR.. Spear
in that city, and Fred Dubeau, a
farm hand on the widows farm, is
in bad condition at the St. Joseph's
hospital in Dickinson as the result
of the woman's having refused to
marry the man.
Crazed by the womaH's rejection
Of his affection. Dubeau met her on
the road as she was returning from
visit to town, and dragging her
from the automobile, threw her to
the ground, beating her about the
head with piece of auto spring un-
til about three inches of scalp was
torn from her head, Then, he kick
ed her, lifted her up and threw her
back into the car, threw her out
again, resumed kicking and beating
her and. getting into his car. ran
the latter over the wOman's body

At this juneture, William Man.

the assault occurred and r. w.

himself through the body just below
the heart. A slight scratch across
his neck would indicate that he had
also intended to cut his throat.
|, Deputy Sheriff Frank Sherman
arrested the man and brought him
to Dickinson about one hour after
the tragedy which occurred at 4:30
Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Forrest had gone to town
that day expressly to tell friends
that bureaus insistence was becom-
ing unbearable. She was advised
to discharge the man and have him
put under a peace bond She fear
ed the man, she said, and ex-County
Commissioner Hughes offered to ac-
company her home. Later, how
ever, she decided to 60 alone, believ-
ing that bureau would not molest
her. The dreadful affair occurred
at point known as Davis Corner.
Just south Of -Belfeld.
Dubeau will recover, according to
hospital reports, but the. woman's
chances for living are somewhat re-

Uncle Sam will not stand for q

it being the intention of the govern

power is being sapped by the war.
There will be considerable con-

northwest turn out an unusually
large CROP said DR.. Ladd. There
are no reserves Of wheat in this
country, England or France. and the
administrators agreed that big
reserve must be- created against
possible crop failure In future years.
