recognize the names OF soldiers with
whom they came in contact in and
about Washington. Girls with sol
dier sweetheaTts believe that some OF
the names in the casualty list are

CRIMES COMMITTED In
name OF CONSERVATION
Reports Reach Fuel Administration
of Trees Being FelIed in State
to Procure Fuel.

Crimes may be committed in the
name of conservation, Capt. I. p.
Baker, federal fuel administrator
for North Dakota, has concluded at
ter receiving reports that in some
sections shade trees are being felled
to procure fuel.
In a state so nearly treeless as
North Dakota is naturally, and
where so much time and trouble
must be expended to procure a
satisfactory growth of trees, and
where there is such an abundance of
efficient fuel, only a few feet under
the surface Of the ground, the
sacrifice of a single shade tree or
stick of natural forest should not
even be contemplated, says Captain
Baker.

SUNDAY CLOSING DAY
FOR ERWIN MEETINGS
Sermon Tonight Especially Fitted
For Women-Saturday Night 60
BE booster Night"

Regeneration" was Rev. w. A.
Erwin's topic at the First Presby-
terrain church last evening a subject
which was handled in a mastery
manner by the evangelist
He gave his hearers a convincing
discussion of the fundamental facts
on which the theory of a second
birth are based, laying his foundation
on three scripturaI proofs-the proof
OF Gods promise, the. brotherhood OK
the church, and the message OF the
Spirit.
Rev. Mr.. Erwin took his text from
that passage of scripture, describing
the visit of Nicodemus to Jesus in
which he propounded the question
which has resounded down all
through the ages, '>Can a man be
born again?"
Taking the teachings Of Jesus, the
preaching Of His disciples, the prom
Uses Of the scripture and the expert
ence of protesting Christians, Rev.
Mr.. Erwin placed before his hearers
a logical and convincing array or
facts bracing up the faith which
Christians have in the new birth.
Those who heard Rev. Mr., Erwin
declared 1T to be the pest or the many
strong sermons he has preached dur
ing the present revival The cold
weather kept the attendance down
to a number far below that which
would have heard him under other
circumstances.
The number of converts which
were made at the meeting indicate
the powerful appeal made by Rev.
Mr.. Erwin's splendid presentation OF
his subject.
Tonight the service will be es-
peciaIIy for women. Tomorrow night
a special Booster service has been
arranged with large number or
children in costume, special songs
and recitations.
The series will close Sunday even
ing, Rev. Mr.. Erwin preaching both
morning and evening.

INDUSTRIAL NEEDS
OF ARMY PRESSING
Draft Boards Not Sending oeeupa-
tional Cards to Adiutaat Gen.
eraI, Says Complaint.

Adjutant General Fraser advises
the local draft board in a letter re-
Gently received that occupational
cards are not reaching his office as
rapidly as expected. He says:
Industrial needs of the army are
great and pressing, and they cannot
be met until these cards are avail
able. The needless loss of a single
day may have serious consequences.
Please urge school superintendent
and principals with utmost prompt
ness to exert every effort toward
early accomplishment of this vital
task OF producing the army of work
men which must soon take its POSI-
ton behind the fighting line"

originally intended etc. No doubt
when search is made in the various
homes, still other varieties OF leather
articles that can be used for the
Jackets will be discovered.
All SUCH donations are to be left
at the desk at the Fargo Y. w. Q. A,
and IL the names of the donors are
placed on the contributions the latter
will be returned II il is found impos-
sible, for any reason, to use them in
making these jackets. Two local
cleaning establishments, LOOmis y
Lomis. and Henry n. Brown, have
volunteered to clean all such feathers
free Of charge.
The collections Of old gloves made
by the members Of the Business Girls
club at the entrances to the OTpheum
and Fargo auditorium last Tuesday
were rather small, and a much larger
and immediate response to the re-
newed request is hoped for.
