Was Well Known in This
City as Well as Through

stricken with paralysis. Since then
he has made his home with his sis
ter, Maude Savage. in Grand Forks.
Mr.. Savage was a member Of the
A. o. U. w. of Hamilton. N. D., and
was we'll known throughout the
state. He is survived by two broth
ers and two sisters, John A. Savage
Of Sunnyside, Wash, Walter w. Saw
age, Britannia Beach, B. c., Mrs. A.
R .Aitcheson, Caldwell, Idaho, and

Germans Will Have Lost
Everywhere by that Time,
J. He Says.

4 Charles ]. Allen who formerly lived
in this city and who enlisted at Rolla
q little more than year ago, Is in
the thtckest of fighting in France. ac-
cording to a>letter received from him
today. Mr.. Allen says he feels GER
tain that he and many other Ameri-
can soldiers will be able to celebrate
Christmas in the United States, for
there Is, he says. widely prevalent
sentiment that the Germans will be
decisively beaten before that time.
Following is a part of Mr.. Aliens
letter, dated, France, Aug.@3:"
I'VE have been fighting hard every
day for the past week. and some day
when you see me again will point
out to you on the map where hell Is
situated. know it. for have just
been in 1t and am going right back
again after a short rest. Just nov
1t will be of no use for me to telLyou
where to look on the map, for I'm
sure the censor won't allow me to
give you such hints Not that he
thinks you might make dangerous use
Of the information, but there's no
way Of telling how it might leak out
into German hands.
We're Winning All the Time"
Were winning all the time. We
simply can't help it. and the Huns
are cunning 1OE all Iuey are WOIIA.
We fellows over here who are right
in it. know a whole lot more about
the exact situation than we or the
newspaper correspondents are allow
ed to say just now, and we know. too.
although we cannot get permission to
say why, that the boche will be beat
en- clear. back to Berlin in plenty of
time to allow us to sit down at home
for our Christmas turkey.
There is nothing so easy in the
world as to beat bunch of Huns.
You may think it is hard. 1t seems
so at first, but after while they learn
to, be afraid of us and consider us
regular Sioux Indians who want to
scalp them and to use our toma-
hawks.
"1f do get out of this place, as I
am sure I will. I shall pay you a
Christmas visit and tell you enough
to fill many books.
Tell the folks in Grand Forks that
they must keep on working hard for
the Red Cross, for if there is any
thing in the world that a soldier
learns to love and to respect. it is the
work done by the American Red
Cross-the finest institution man has
ever created"

new ALLOTMENT
OF SUGAR WILL
CHANGE RULES
New Schedule Goes Into Eff
feet on September
First.
Monthly Allowance I'm
changed Except in Case
Of Canning Sugar.

New sugar regulations for Septem-
ber have just been received by local
dealers from the office of Z. F. Iadd,
federal food administrator of North
Dakota. Practically no changes have
been made in the supply for table
and cooking use, but changes are not
ed in the regulations for the purchase
of sugar for canning purposes. The
office of the food administrator sends
out the announcement that special
sugar allotment for additional can
ington, amounting to 2,970,00O
pounds, and that conservation of the
supply is necessary, as this is all the
sugar North Dakota will be able to
obtain this season.
In effect, the new regulations limit
the purchase of sugar for canning
purposes to ten pounds per capita for
the season, the amount not to exceed
twenty-five pounds. Additional sugar
however for a specified purpose, may
be obtained by special permit, OBJ
tanned by application to the federal
food administrator in Fargo. This
new allotment of sugar is to be made
to the local dealers Immediately, so
that customers may receive their
sugar for canning while fruit Is on
the market.
Transfer of Permits.
The following statement is issued
from the department, giving instruc-.
tions for the transfer of sugar permits
anywhere in the state:
'It is allowable for. a purchaser
who has already signed 9 permit to
get canning sugar anywhere In the
state, provided he make out a permit
in duplicate and so mark it, stating
the name of the dealer and the
amount previously bought, then mott
flying the former dealer to, cancel the
first permit.
The September rulings for the pur-
chase Of sugar for purposes other
than canning, allow the customary 2
pounds per person for every ninety
meals served, permitting ten-day
s7e6pplya to be purchased at one time.
aTnss the case of harvesting and thresh-
/ tlaR crews the same amount per per-
apfl can be purchased but thirty
day supply can be laid in at one
tirs7e. Households are permitted to
purchase an additional amount, If

visitors at the rate of two pounds per

ASSOCIATION
MEETS FRIDAY
P. O.. Thorson, President,
Leaves for Eau Claire
Convention. III

P. O. Thorson, president Of the
Norwegian-Danish Press association.
has left for Eau Claire. Wis, to at
tend the annual convention of the or
ganization which comprises practical,
ly all the; Norwegian and Danish
newspapermen of the northwest. Two
years ago the convention of the asso-
year at Fergus Fails, MINI. q.
number of important questions
will come up for discussion, relating
chiefly to the attitude of the Scandi-
navian language papers toward the
war issues of the United States. In
his annual address, President Thorson
will crystalline the sentiment which
has characterized this section of the
American press during the past year,
and will reassert the absolute, whole
hearted and unquestioned loyalty and
patriotism Of the members.
Although nothing definite is known
concerning the resolutions to be Of
fered at the convention. it is thought
that the association will go on record
with some kind of statement with
regard to the Iowa governors procla-
ma ton iforbidding the use Of foreign
languages in churches. trains, tele-
phone and telegraph messages. ETC.,
in that state.
To Discuss Liberty Loan.
One of the features of the ,conven-
ton will be an address by A. r.
Rogers, chairman of the ninth dis
trict Liberty Loan committee. who
spoke in this city Aug. Is. Mr.. Rog-
ers today sent word here that ar
rangements had been made for the
postponement of the convention from
! tomorrow morning until five o'clock
in the afternoon so as to have as
many newspapermen present in Eau
Claire as possible.
The foreign-language campaign for
the Fourth Liberty Loan issue is ex-
pected to be an unusually compre-
hensive and important one. and the
fact that Mr.. Rogers will address the
Scandinavian newspaper convention
enhances the national significance of
this Gathering

Selling Monuments.

Salesmanship in the monument bust
ness can never be considered up TO this
times until all the chatter about compe
tition disappears like mist is scattered
before the glorious orb of day. Stock
work must first come to be considered as
standard commodity, and the lettering
feature mere detail of the ordinary
procedure of the business. No one should
be in a position to consider the matter of
competition in connection with the sale
of n marker or two-piece monument.
The item is too little to warrant the
cost of even a small amount of competi-
ton. and should be so regarded by all
established dealers. At present competi.
ton costs, which are never put upon any
body's books, amount to more than the
entire purchase price of the merchandise
handled in a majority of the retail estab-
lishments. The customer does not get
any benefit out of it, for all he really
gets is dissatisfaction, with a poorer
grade of lettering and stock and service
than he wanted to pay for, The cut price
of his ultimate purchase got him just
what he originally wanted to avoid, while
the contention of the competing dealers
robbed both of a profit. Don't try to
come any Pharisee and Publican stuff at
these comments, for the trade of the
reeks with it all the time. It is
most desirable to develop real salesman
ship in the monument industry
than anything else. There is
Just one way, and only one way to get
away from the evil of trying to put
,ver" a sale and that is to work living
in a businesslike way, with
lue regard to the sentiment that sur
ounds the matter of placing monu-
nent in the cemetery lot. There is no
business in the world so universal in its
application as ours, because every living |
human being is certain prospect, and |
