known in many parts Of the northwest
as Paddy" Mcdonnell, died in. Duluth
last Sunday after having suffered a
stroke Of paralysis. Paddy. McDon-
nell was we'll known in this city where
he, had. been on many occasions in
connection with street paving con-
provement work done by Paddy in
Grand Forks was the construction Of
the DeMers avenue. sewer. which was
an improbable, undertaking as far as
he was concerned, but which, as time
went on, became of the greatest bene-
fit to the community.
Paddy" Mcdonald was born in the
county Of Mayo, Ireland, and came to
this country with his parents when he
during his mature years he lived and
worked from time to time in. North
Dakota. in Minnesota, South Dakota,
and when he began, contracting bust
ness about thirty years ago. that work
took him Over practically all of the
northwest. At the time Of his death,
Paddy" was engaged in making a
campaign for the Office Of sheriff.
He was a personal friend of the late
John L.. Sullivan and was much
] grieved yer his friends demise.
His acquaintance wac widespread
and wherever he was known, it was
las the same generous. 1open-hearted
friend to all. He began the contract
ing business about thirty years ago,
and 1t was this occupation that occu-
pied the greater part of his life.
Most of the streets and avenues Of
Duluth have been paved by him. Vir-
gtnia, Mimi. Grand Forks, N. D.,
cities in Upper Michigan and North
ern Wisconsin all know the name of
Paddy Mcdonnell.

One son, Joseph. who is a soldier
in the United States army. and who

COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT

A special meeting Of the city coun-
Gil will be held this evening at. 1880
in the city hall.
The object Of the meeting is to re-
ceive, consider and act upon the re-
port Of the street and alley commit
tee. to which were referred the bids
for a tractor machine. filed April I.
The committee will recommend the
purchase Of the machine they con-
slider best Suited for their work. An
other important feature which will
be brought up at this meeting will be
the matter. of parking cars in the
center Of the streets, it being con-
sidered. that some of the streets are
too narrow for this plan to be oper-
ated effectively. Other business mat
tiers will be attended to.

Local Board Makes Impor..
tant Decision Concerning
Registration.
REGISTRANTS MUST
PERSONALLY APPEAR
June S is Date Decided Upon
County Court House is
the Place.

Yesterday President Wilson APP
proved the act of congress bringing
under the selective service regulations
all men attaining the age of Fl since
the first registration day, June S last
year: the anniversary of that day Is
legally fixed as the second registra-
ton day.
The local draft. board expects to be
officially notified some time during
the day, and meanwhile has prepared
all details for the enforcement of the
various rules of the new act.
When the matter was first dis.
cuseed here, the plan of the
board was to have registrars ap-
pointed 1T various central points
mand for tho greatest possible
speed in making returns has,
however, ~nccessitated a radical
+ change, and each registrant will
be required to appear in person
before the registrars In the
Grand Forks county court house,
on June S, 1918, in the hours be-
tween Z O'Clock in the morning
and 8 O'Clock at night.
According to the regulations just
issued, all male persons, citizens of
the United States or alien residents,
must register on June s., provided
they attained the age of FL since
June 5, 1917. The only exceptions
are persons in the military or naval
service of the United States. which
includes all. officers and enlisted men
of the regular army. the navy, the
marine corps. the national guard and
the naval militia, while in the service

All men registered will be furnished
be kept always in the registrant's
possession as any officer of the law
has a right to demand to see it. The
government points u that much in
convenience and embarrassment will
be spared the registrants if they
make it a point always to have their
certificate about their person.
Failure by any person required to
register, to perform any duty pre-
scribed by the regulations, is a mis-
demeanor, punishable by imprison-
ment for one year, and may result

Between Mr.. Doubtful and Mr.. Right
IRSATION

Mr.. Right; "You've said it this is
war! To win the war it might be neces-
sary for the government to take your
factory away from you, and ruin your
business. 1t might be necessary to take
YOUR house and turn you out in the street.
What of that? Is that as great sacrlhce
as your neighbor makes, or stands ready
to make, when he gives his boy to his
country? Yet you don't think it's your
duty to pinch and save, and borrow if
need be, in order to buy Liberty Bonds,
and thus help shorten the war, make VIC
tory certain, and save the lives OF thou

up nay last dollar if need be, to help
win this war;"
