Getting the People roa.ther

The Civic Improvement Committee
of the Royal Neighbors did a. nice
thing in getting our people together
on Sunday evening in the park for a
patriotic program. Our people showed
up in much larger numbers than would
go to our churches and the getting to.
gether is not only worth much to the
community but is worth much in the
forwarding of our war work.
The singing of our patriotic airs,
the splendid patriotic address of Rev.
Father Zimmerman, the way our
people turned out, gave an inspiration
for more like this, and the committee
announces another in about three
weeks.

Ritterbush on the Way

Clarence Ritterbush on the Way
Clarence Ritterbush, writing from
Philadelphia, Pa, to his mother and
grandmother on June 9Th, says in
part:
"Well my first move is over and l
am now at the Navy yards in Phila-
delphia, after the most enjoyable trip
I ever had. We went to Chicago from
Minneapolis, then to Akron, Ohio,
Youngstown, Pittsburg, Washington,
Baltimore, and other large places,
finally landing here.
eve passed through youngstown and
Pittsburg at night and it sure was
great sight to see the smelter fires
and the fires at the steel mills shoot
ing flames away up into the sky like
SO many great camp fires.
"And Grandma, while haven't seen
Vermont yet did see some of the
beautiful scenery through New Jersey,
Maryland and Pennsylvania, and 1
can't help but say it was the most
beautiful sight l could imagine. In
the morning we passed through the
Cumberland mountains and it seemed
to me like q Fairyland. 1 imagine
Vermont is somewhat the same, prob
ably even more pretty, and so l don't
wonder, Grandma, that you sometimes
want to see those hills and streams
again, and you can bet when l get
out of the service again both of you
will have chance to see it. Ohio,
used to think, was pretty, but it is
nothing like Maryland.
II haven't seen much of Philadel-
phia, but I am anxious to see some
old buildings have studied about, be-
cause it is from here that some of the
best examples in certain styles come
from.
This is a great station. don't know
how many are here, but there must
be several thousand sailors and mar
ines and the people do everything
possible for man in uniform. There
are always plenty of places to go free.
So far like it much better than Min
neapolis and there are so many most
interesting things to see in this old
town. When one stops to think of all
the stirring scenes that have taken
place here it makes it all the more
interesting and am anxious to see
it.
eve stopped in Washington only
about an hour or would have tried
to see the girls (meaning the Misses
Quigg, his cousins-Ed.) but of course
did not have time. 1t must be mighty
beautiful city and if we We're going to
stay any time would try and see it
as it is not SO awful far-15O miles
more or less. I am in the foreign draft
and do not get off very easy.
"Now wish you would answer soon
as l may not get it if you don't We
will not be here long. We are sub
ject to go to sea any day.
"Allie seemed to be feeling fine
when left but wish he was here as
am very much afraid we will ship be-
fore he eomes."

Passed to Rest

Mr.. Hendrickson, the old blacksmith
of Norway Spur, passed away at three
o'clock yesterday morning. He lived
alone, was very quiet in his ways and
little here is known of him. Inquiry
about the city fails to reveal anything
of his life, outside of that he was a
native of Norway.

STEEN REPLIES
TO DETRACTERS
ENEMIES ARE CLAIMING plsHoN.
ESTY IN OFFICE
Money There "Ready to Be Paid to
Whoever Is Legally Entitled to
lt"

~ LIl0 f0Oplo OIL NOTln DdkOCa:
Several state officials and other
League speakers bave heen exceed
ingly busy of late, telling the people
of the state that am wrongfully with
holding certain interest-money earned
by deposit of foreign insurance
company and are attempting to con-
vey the impression that am dishon-
est in the performance of my duties.
THE FACTS IN THE MATTER ARE
AS FOLLOWS:
When assumed the office of State
Treasurer my predecessor turned over
to me the sum of $25,O00 deposited
with the State Teasurer by the Des
Moines Mutual Hail & Cyclone Com
pany of Des Mones, Iowa, to guaran-
tee their contracts in this state, this
being in pursuance of law which re-
quires foreign mutuals to make a de-
posit of either cash or securities be-
fore they are authorized to do busi-
ness in North Dakota.
This being Trust Fund it was nec-
essary to keep it separate from State
Funds, and there being no provision
under the law for the keeping or in
-vesting of such funds, on my own re-
'sponsibility deposited this money in
banks on demand certificates of de-
posit drawing interest at four per cent.
When the insurance company decid-
ed to withdraw from the state this
money had earned $125O in interest,
and the question arose: Who was en-
titled to this interest? I referred the
matter to Attorney General Linde for
an opinion, and he gave as his opinion
that the state was not entitled to it,
and was not sure that the company
was, inasmuch as there was no pro-
vision under the law that required
the state treasurer to invest such
funds and in case it had been lost
through the failure of any bank, or for
any other cause, l would have been
personally liable for it.
I asked the insurance company to
bring a friendly action in order to de-
eide who was entitled to this interest,
and although Attorney General Linde
had given his opinion that this money
did not belong to the state, insisted
that he should claim the money on be-
half of the state, as wanted the mat
ter settled.
The case was tried in district
court of Burleigh county and was de-
cided in favor of the insurance COM
pany last November, and an appeal
is now pending in supreme court. And
if these state officials who are or ap-
pear to be so much interested in the
welfare of foreign insurance COM
pany would step into my Office they
could readily ascertain that the $3.50
is here ready to be paid to whoever is
legally entitled to it.
have tried my best to have this
matter settled and it is through no
fault of mine that it has dragged along
for over two years. Had not been a
candidate for Governor no one would
have attempted to blacken my char
-acter on account of the above, but
feel satisfied that Governor Frazier is
not party to nor approves of this
cowardly attempt to assassinate my
character and reputation.
Respectfully,
JOHN STEEN
State Treasurer.

MUSIC or MARVELLOUS POWER
More Moving Than Any Sounds Of
Earth Are Those Heard In
Churches Of Russia.

And what shall say Of the music
of Russian cathedral? There is no
organ and there are no female voices.
The chorus cholrs are composed Of
men carefully trained through a long
series OF years The Russians have
naturally rich, sonorous voices, and
their sacred music Is .inexpressIbly
moving. At,times soft and appealing,
at others weird minor strain, II not
infrequentIy swells Into volume of
almost overpowering majesty. i have
heard church music In many parts of
the world, but such music nowhere
else. II voices the sadness and suffer-
Ing, the implicit faith and the solemn
| mission of great people. More truly
than any other church music In the
world It is the expression of the deep
er soul of nation, elemental in its
moods OF storm and tenderness, Of
half'barbnrous passion and of sub
lime aspiration. Every time we heard
II we stood in silence and awe, con-
sclous that the strings of our hearts
were being strangely swept and feel
Ing as II we were In wide spaces under
the open shy and in the presence Of
a Mount Sinai from which issued al
! ternately the crashing thunder, the
blazing lightning. and then the muir
muring of trees and brooks, and the
still, small Voice. Was this mere emo
tionalism? 1t may have been, but the
mysterious spell still fingers in my
memory.-Exchange

cality, End wns nDrenst OF the Pnrlow
shop and cottnge--which he always
sought 20 avoid looking nt-when he
heard door open and close.
He tried not to look that way. But
his ear told him instantly that the per-
son who had come out was Miss Amnn-
dn, rather thnn her father. Knowing
this, how could he help dnrting a
glance nt her?
Miss Amanda stood on the porch,
looking directly at him.
"Mr. Stngg." she called earnestly, u
must speak to you"
Save on the Sunday when Prince had
killed the blacksnake, Miss Amanda
had not spoken directly to the hard
years. 1t rather shocked Joseph Stagg
now that she should do so.
"Will you come in? she urged him,
her voice rather tremulous.
There was moment OF absolute sl-
lence.
"Bless mel Yesi" calculated the
hardware man finally.
81 assure you, Mr.. Stagg," Miss
Amanda said hurriedly, ut is no per-
sonnl matter that causes me TO stop
you In this fashion"
"No, ma'am?' responded the man
stiny.
II want you to come in and speak
with this snllor who was hurt" she
finally said. "There Is something he
can tell You, Mr.. Stagg, that think
you should know"
The big rocking-chalr by the window,
In which Miss Amanda's mother had
for several years before her death
spent her waking hours, was now oc-
cupied by the sailor.
"This Is the little girls uncle, Ben
jnmin," Miss Amanda said quietly. "He
will be interested In what you have al
ready told me about the loss OF the
Dunravcn. WIN you please repeat II
all?'
"The Dunraven?" gasped Mr.. Stngg,
sitting. down without being asked.
"Hannah-"
"There Is no hope, of course" Aman-
dn Parlow spoke up quickly, that your
| sister, Mr.. Stngg, and her husband
were not lost. But having found out
that Benjamin was on the steamer
with them, I thought you should know.

girl with exultation. "we're all so cx-

wETTrNG sPoILs EGGS

More than 100000 dozen eggs
spoil needlessly every year in cold
storage simply because some one has
allowed clean eggs to get wet or has
washed dirty eggs before sending
them to market, according to special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Investigations have
shown that from II to % per cent OF
washed eggs become worthless in
storage, whereas only to per cent
of dirty eggs stored unwashed spoil.
The explanation is simply that
water removes from the shell Of the
egg a gelatinous covering which helps
to keep out air and germs

Mr.. Stagg thoughtfully.

has given me-" said Miss Amanda soft
ly, that your sister and Mr.. Cameron

"Well, it's long time ago. now,"
said the hardware dealer. Surely, II
they had been picked up or had reached

agreed gently.
"You never know what may happen

He seemed to stick to that iden. But
