MRS. HAR Q. HANSON


Died, at $50 o'clock: Friday af-
ternoon, May II, Mrs. Richard D..
Lamson, born Dora E. Kaiser, aged
25 years.
The funeral was held last Satur-
day afternoon from the residence of
tC. L. Hayes, with services at the
Methodist Church and interment in
the. Protestant cemetery at Washing
ton.
The following obituary was sent
The Clarion for publication:
DORA E. KAISER
The writer knew the deceased by
sight only. He is only slightly ac-
quainted with her husband. He has,
however, often seer them together.
The husband is of muscular build
strong, healthy, impressively so.
The wife appeared to me Of frail
mould, but endowed with such cheer
fulnass and sunshine that disease
would scarcely find a hold in her
temple.
When I have met this couple on
the court house square and else
where in this city, l felt that l had
found a happy pair. Their babies
but cemented their affection. They
were to my mind typical of the fol
lowing beautiful lines:
"As the vine, which has twin
ed its graceful foliage about the
oak, and been lifted by it into
sunshine, will when the hardy
plant is rifted by the thunder
bolt, cling around it with It's
caressing tendri1s, and bind up
its shattered boughs, SO it it
beautifully ordered by Providence
that woman, who is the mere
dependent and ornament of nan
in his happier hours, should be
his stay and solace when smit-
ten with sudden calamity, un-
winding herself into the rugged
recesses Of his nature, tenderly
supporting the dropping head,
and binding up the broken
heart"
l was greatly shocked, very much
grieved to learn she had passed
away. do no tknoW the circum
stances of her illness and death.
The announcement of her death
was sufficient to move me in writ
ing this frail memorial q her
worth.
She was doubtless beckoned for
ward by the pale messenger with
the inverted torch and altho her
mind was bent upon remaining, the
frail tenement which encased her
spirit, gave way.
For such as she. there is no
death. What seems SO is transit
tion to a brighter world. Like a
flower on the field, she was I'M
timely cut down, but her spirit Inn
mortal is:
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!

and covered various towns, villages
and localities Of the parish and al

At Sunset three societies had al

work at this last named place was
left in the charge of the postmaster,
Mr.. Delahoussaye, and the bank cash

At Leonville the visitors found that
the Catholic priest, Father Chasl-

of the movement and an indefatiga-

the war. He was the host of the Wis
itors and it is presumed that from

Washington, the next place visited,
was found to have already done good
work, both in the school and in the
town proper. With the assistance of
the mayor, MI. Going, and Mr. Jewell
there had already been formed three
or four societies. Ten members form
a society.and 1t is preferable that
nothing but small organizations be

At Grand Prairie the work had not
yet gotten under way but under the
leadership of Mr.. Osteen it is expect
ed that much good work will yet be
accomplished.
At LaWteIl 1t was found that every
thing was working smoothly but 10
far with but small results but much
is expected from the campaign at
this pace.
Eunice, thriving town of western
st. Landry, is doing fine work and do
ing it enthusiastically, as is Eunice's
usual way in all things. In the high
school ten societies have already been
formed, one in each grade. The Wis

and nicely entertained by the Red
Cross workers. prominent among

From Eunice the visitors proceeded
to Vile Platte where they were the

societies were found already organ

Stealing Goose

Headquarters American Troops
With the British Army in France
(Correspondence of The Associated
Press).-A purloined goose was the
cause Of so much trouble for few
soldiers of the American army re-
Gently that they now consider that
the bird would have been cheap ev-
en- at the high war prices that pre-
vail in these regions.
The complaint from the woman who
lost the goose was the only one re-
ceived at the headquarters of the
division to which the men belonged;
she promptly received satisfaction
in the coin of the country and the
men were obliged to digest their
feast in the guard house while they
reflected upon the rules regarding
'foraging".
"Of course there are worse things
soldier can do than to swipes a
goose" said an officer of the divi-
sion in question, but even that is
more than shall be permitted in this
force. We came over here to do a
laudable thing and we are going to
do it clearly. Whatever We draw
from this country is going to be paid
for in due form and the few men in
our ranks who dare try any other
system will pay dearly for their ex-
perience."

the government has determined to
require all North Dakota farmers to
maintain record books furnished by
the government listing the kinds Of

The last item is not required by the
government, but it is expected to be
kept by the farmer for his own con-

Army Worm Is
Found ,i1e Country

Co. Agt. A! G. o'Banion was called
to >Averlll Wednesday to investigate
damage being done to late crops Dy d
species of worm not Known TO the
farmers of the vicinity. He found 1T
to be the dreaded Iall army worm
that does much danage.ets-.--.. s>s.s,.. w.
The army worms travel in great
numbers, and sometimes entirely ruin
with gray stripes, and are about hair
an inch long. This worm attacks a
variety of crops, but it's favorite foods
are the native grasses and garden
mostly on the flax crop, and garden
products in the territory so far at
fected.
The army worm is native to the
entire United States east of the Rock
, les. 1t is rarely found this far north,
but crops were affected by this pest
during the season of 1912.
farmer discovers the worm when It
first appears. He should spray the
affected plants with reliable solu--
ton or usesthe poison bran treatment.
The bran formula is as follows:
Wheat bran, SO pounds; Paris green
or powdered arsenate of lead, two
pounds; low grade molasses, two gall
Ions, This mixture is scattered
broadcast over the fields, and is spe-
cially effective when the worms are
entering the fields. Army worms pre-
fer wild grasses to cultivated crops,
ana can usually De- 1OulQ on WSSuS
and native grass before they attack
the field crop.
When the worm has exhausted its
food supply and begins the march to
another field, a narrow, deep ditch
should be dug or plowed across their
path They will gather in great guam
titles in this ditch and may be de-
stroyed by dragging heavy log
field is infested, deep furrow should
be plowed clear around the field to
keep the worms out of the other
fields. The furrow should be kept
free OF rubbish so that the worms will
have no means of getting past the
furrow.
County Agent O'Banion is taking
steps to Instruct the farmers in the
best and most practicable methods of
dealing with the worm.

The public safety commission of
Minnesota has issued a bulletin
warning against trading Liberty
bonds and War Savings stamps to
stock statesmen for any kind Of stock.
Some Of these promoters and agents
are representing their companies as
engaged in some patriotic service,
and while this is true in some cases,
this fact does not justify the citizen
in parting with his bonds for stocks,

Baker Issues Statement,
Saying Shipments Are
Being Maintained
ASKS SUBSTITUTION
OF STATE Ignite
Bituminous, Too, Plentiful,
He Says-Cities Ask
Equal Division

Anthracite is being shipped from
the Head Of the Lakes to North Da-
kota at about the normal rate, but
distribution at present is centered
to towns on the branch lines, as
against towns on main lines and the
larger cities, according to a state
ment made public today by I. P
Baker, federal fuel administrator for
North Dakota.
Mr.. Bakers statement says
the state will receive, all told,
about 100000 tons of anthracite,
and that nearly third Of this
has already been moved into the
state.
The statement Is evidently in re-
Spouse to the appeal made by the
Commercial clubs Of Fargo, Grand
Forks, jamestown, Valley City and
: Wahpeton. who called the attention
of the administrators to the fact that
had been received at the docks, the
cities had only about 3 per cent
Of their seasons supply. The cities
asked an order for proportiOnate dis
tribution of coal as it comes in, with
the result that Mr.. Baker has made
public his order by which branch
line and outlying towns are to be
first supplied.
in order to dissipate to some ex-
tent the alarm which appears to be
current in some parts of North Da-
kota, the federal fuel administrators
makes the following statement" says
Mr.. Baker:
ION the basis Of distribution in
prior years it is estimated that
North Dakota will require a total
of something over 100000 tons of
bituminous coal to come from the
docks at the head of the lakes, 200 900
tons Of bituminous coal to come
from Montana and Wyoming; 900 900
tons of Ignite, and 100000 tons Of
anthracite or the equivalent there
