Local Rcd Cross Drive

Next week the Bottineau County Chapter of the
American Red Cross will begin the drive it an
nounced some time ago. It will commence Wednes-
day and close Saturday night It is hardly neces-
sary to say anything more than has been said in re-
gard to the plans of the drive The plan adopted for
the former drive will be used again. On the opening
day of the drive the people of Bottneau county will
meet at designated places in the various units-in
most instances the polling places-and subscribe
the amounts allotted to them.
There is much to be said in regard to the merits
of the undertaking. However there is no contention
the people are agreed on the good work done by
the Red Cross
The question is What can Bottineau county do
for the organization il a financial way? There is
no Disgusting the fact that Bottineau county as a
whole is not in the best of shape financially owing
to adverse crop conditions. This will not apply to
all places in the county. few localities are blessed
with fair crops A large number of our citizens will
realize but little out Of their past years work But
what those in charge Of the Red Cross drive request
IS that every citizen in the county give due weight
and consideration to the undertaking. It is conced-
ed That the Red Cross work is noble work and that
II IS very essential the successful carrying on of
the war Bottineau county has large number of
boys in the service and the number is steadily in
creaslng. No matter what we sacrifice it cannot be
galnsaid that these boys are making an infinitely
greater sacrifice. We must not lose sight 1f this
fact Bearing this in mind those in charge feel that
every citizen of Bottineau county will do all that he
possibly can toward meeting his allotment

MUST SUPPORT
 --.-.sss4~-sxss ssss:szSSSsZs BELG|AN FUND
Response To Call For Clothing Has Been Slow And The Public Is
 Again Appealed To.

Saturday the Independent carried an article telling of the need for clothing in Belgium, printing list of the different articles most desir- ed, and appealing to the people of Newport to support the movement. This paper regrets to report that very little response has been made to the appeal here.
 Surely there are number of per sons in the city who have clothing which they can spare for this fund. You are asked to send the articles to the Elks Club. If you have no means of sending them, you may call Mrs. J. 0. Powell, Phone No. APO, and she will call for the clothing at your resi- dence.
 Do your share today.
 Add to Belgians. AA
 It is true that our attics have been practically depleted by previous calls of this nature, but this is time for every man and woman to do just bit more than ever before. Brave and wronged Belgium deserves it.

.WEATHERFORD |s
 0N TRIAL TODAY.
Man Who Shot Lawrence Duncan Is Charged With Assault With In
 tent To Kill.


 In the circuit court today the case of the state vs. Bob and Pony Wealth erford is on trial. The case grew out of difficulty in which the men and Lawrence Duncan became engaged several weeks ago east of Swifton, Duncan being shot by Pony Wealth erford, it is alleged. Duncan recov- cred from his wounds, and the Wealth serfords are charged with assault with intent to kill. The case probably will go to the jury late today. The defendants are represented by Hill- house & Boyce and c. M. Erwin and Prosecuting Attorney E. c. Casey, representing the state.
 It is believed circuit court will com- plete it's work this week or early next week. A great many cases have of necessity been postponed by reason of the absence of witnesses, many of whom are in the army.
 The grand jury has adjourned, af- ter having returned 2S bills of in dictments. Following is the report of the body:
 Grand Jury Report at September Term, 1918, of the Jackson Circuit Court.
 To The Honorable Dene H. Coleman, Judge:
 We, the Grand Jury, beg leave to report as follows:
 We have investigated all violations of the law of which we have had knowledge or received information and in all cases where the evidence warranted it, we have returned true bills of indictment.
 We have been in session { days, examined 1O5 witnesses, and return ed into this Court 28 true bills of in dictment.
 We have by committee visited the County Hospital, and find nine m mates. Upon questioning the in mates, we find that they are well sat- isfied with their treatment, and with everything except their bedding. This, upon investigation, we found to be of insufficient quantity and to he rotten, in fact not fit for a good dog to sleep upon. We recommend that the proper authority furnish the necessary bedding at an early date.
 We examined the jail in a body and found 10 prisoners in the Jall. The jail building is in very good re- pair and in a sanitary condition, and the prisoners we'll cared for. l Upon examination of the report of Commissioners of Accounts, we find that quite few of the officers are indebted to the county in various amounts, and we recommend that such indebtedness be settled at an early date. In conclusion we desire to extend our thanks to the court and the court officials for the courtesles shown to us during our deliberations and having finished our labors, we respectfully asked to be discharged | S. w.

Miami District Weekly Turnin.
Miami Record Herald: This week
showed several more strong I'M
provements in the ore conditions,
sales for the Miami Mining district
being heavy for both metals. More
than ten million pounds OF zinc were
sold. Sales Of lead amounted to
nearly three million pounds, decid-
edly above the average week.
The important note was the ad-
vance in the price OF lead ore, sale
averaging $3.50 per ton. This was
a jump OF $3.50 above that OF last
week, the price being down to $50
three or four weeks ago.
Zinc ore prices again stood at
an average of SIS per ton. The
market was firmer than usual and
a lot of high grade ores again
brought $40 per ton.
Operators are pleased with the
outlook, especially in the indication
that there will be strong demand
for lead ores at good prices.
Following is the output for the
