London, oct. 90 (By mail )-One
OF the most remarkable experiences
of the war is that of a British stoker
petty officer who escaped in mirac-
ulous manner from a submarine which
sank in home waters from an acciden-
tai cause
Although the petty officer was
fighting for his life, he showed a won
derful example of indomitable cour-
age and perseverance, and of refusal
to acknowledge defeat. Alone. in al
most complete darkness, with the
gradually rising water, receiving cleo
trio shocks and towards the end, suf
fering from the effects of chlorine
gas and badly crushed hand, vet in
spite Of continual disappointments he
worked on for nearly ? hours keeping
his head to the last, and at the 18th
attempt at opening the hatch, sue
ceeding in escaping.
1t was about 1880 a. mr when the
mishap to the submarine occurred,
and it at once became apparent that
she was taking in a great deal of
water. The stoker petty officers
first impulse was to close the lower
coming tower hatch, but this he could
not do. as some men had been order
ed up the coming tower, so he went
out of the engine room. He met one
man coming forward and ordered him
to put on life belt and to keep his
head" till he had a chance OF getting
up the coming tower hatch, Having
satisfied himself there was no one
left aft he made his way to the con
ming tower hatcht with the intention
Of closing it, but before he reached
it water was pouring in in mighty
volume. and that meant that his
chances of closing the hatch were
hopeless.
With the weight of water the boat
began to dip forward. and his only
hope of escaping drowning was to
shut himself in the engine room But
before he closed the doors he shouted
again to see if there was anyone who
was stin alive. Getting no answer
he reluctantly closed the doors against
the rising water
At this time the engine room was
in complete darkness save for the

Customers:
Dear

This year Uncle Sam has asked us to intro
duce Santa Claus in November instead Of
waiting until December as in the before-the-
war Christmas.
Yes, the war has finally come around to the
children-it is even threatening the Christmas
tree-but with your prompt action the little
folks may still have their Merry Christmas.
"WHAT TO BUY" is a different question
this year The war has turned Christmas buy
ing topsy-turvy. It is not only what to buy
but when to buy, as WE'LL for the stores will
not be 'open evenings" till Christmas. So the
time to buy is NOW.
We must urge upon you the need of taking
the safe course while delivery facilities are at
their best instead of waiting till December when
there may be little or no chance at all.
So we hasten to extend to you the entire ia
clitieS of our store service and to assure you
that we have been fortunate in having com
plete line of Serviceable, dependable Christmas
Presents.
Yours for a Patrioting Christmas

CONSIDER THE POSTMASTER.


In these days of delayed trains,
snow blockades, and priority orders,
complaints Of delayed mails are
frequent.
The thousands of postmasters in
the country are receiving more than
their just share Of criticism, and just
to offset it, it might be we'll to re-
member what these hard working,
and generally underpaid officials are
doing in wartime.
They are carrying the burden Of
the thrift stamp campaign. They are
helping in the canvass for funds for
the Red Cross, Liberty Loan, Y. NJ.
c. A. and knights Of Columbus; they
are cooperating with the army and
navy in recruiting; aiding the United
States secret service officials; doing
a little quiet detective work for the
Of justice; gathering
crop statistics; boosting the food
conservation campaign; helping dis
tribute income tax blanks and acting
as adviser in small towns; and even
alien enemies.
Incidentally they are handling
heavier mails than usual with a force
that probably is more or less disor-
ganiEed by the draft.
The next time you get letter a
few hours later than it should have
been, remember these things and the
railroad service congested by snow
and war traffic. The postmaster is
only human.

The Grand Forks Herald A lot
Of farmers wanted TO know from Mr..
Townley something about the Uni
ted Stores enterprise, and on this
subject, as on many others, Mr..
Townley is reticent. According to
his own statement, 500 farmers have
subscribed to the Kenmare store en-
terprise. Each subscription is 800.
That makes a total of $50, 900 gath
cred in that one corner Of the state.
OF that $4,000 the corporation
which receives the money is not OBJ
liged by contract, agreement or
stipulation to devote more than So
600 to the purposes of the store, and
there is no stipulation as to the
manner in which even that sum
shall be handled. The corporation
may put in at Kenmare a big store
or little one-it has put in a little
one-and Ii may carry as many or
as few lines OF merchandise as the
three directors at the corporation
headquarters think proper. The
other SOL 900 they may use as they
see fit. There are absolutely no re-
striCtions. a very neat little stunt
would be to use a part of the money
to send a lot of organizers 10 Cali

racy to the people Of those states

RESERVE STOCKS OF COAL.

Is next winter going to see a repe-
tition Of the coal shortage?
Already some eastern cities are
considering the possibilities of Great
ing reserve supplies of fuel.
Most cities lead a hand to mouth
existence in the matter Of fuel. Deal
ers, because Of the heavy cost of
storage and the big interest charges,
hesitate to stock up with supplies for
more than a comparatively few days
ahead. The steady flow of fuel to
the consumer depends wholly upon
the supply Of cars. When cars are
tied up in tho terminals, the mines
cease shipping.
There is no great reservoir Of fuel
from which to draw in case of any
emergency like a strike, two or three
big storms, or a congestion on the
railroads from any other cause.
North Dakota has such a reservoir
of fuel already, provided by Nature.
In the Ignite beds Of the western
part Of the state, is enough fuel to
supply this and neighboring states
for decades, perhaps centuries to
come.
Inertia, lack of information, and
perhaps lack Of capital have pre-
vented the tapping of this reservoir,
Are the people of North Dakota
going to face the worry Of another
impending fuel famine. with such a
to draw upon?
Are they going to trust to good
fortune and fuel administrators an
other winter?
New York is talking Of turning one
Of her parks into a great fuel store
house before another winter.
North Dakota has the storehouse
filled with fuel. All that is
needed is to get It to the consumer.
The Minot Association Of Com
merce has issued special coal min
Ing edition Of its business Bulletin.
It is a comprehensive review of the
ignite industry in the state, and is
stirring call to action in the develop
nent Of what should be North Da-
sota's second great industry.

| Vigilantes.l
The mysterious disappearance Of a
man without a name.
In the sentence lies the true solu-
I ton Of the spy problem.
The morning newspaper laconical-
| ly announces that during the preced-
ing night an unnamed man was seized
| by operatives from the department Of
| justice. A curt, sinister line COM
| pletes the story: He will never be
seen nor heard of again.
No comment. No putting forward
Of the name or the deeds of the man
for friend or foe to praise or curse.
No long, detailed account for the
curious or the morbid to read. Moth
ing more than the paragraph: Last
night an unnamed alien against
whom conclusive proof has been OBJ
tanned was taken into custody by
operatives from the department Of
justice. He will never be seen nor
heard Of again"
Complete obliteration.
A man mysteriously missing from
the circles in which he moved; a man
for whom some will enquire at first
and then grow silent with dread and
awe; a man whose name will never
be mentioned, whose fate will never
be known, whose evil will remain
forever unheralded.
The world will never know what
has become of him. His friends will
know that he is gone from their
midst. His wife and his children,
his father and mother and brothers
and sisters will know that he no
longer walks among them. They will
wonder and they will whisper his
name. But they will never know the
length nor the nature Of the journey
he has taken. They will never know
whether he lies dead in an unmarked
grave, buried in quick-lime, or alive
in a cell from which no word may
ever issue forth.
Alive or dead, the silence Of death
enshrouds him.
The world only knows that last
night a traitor, a spy, was taken; 1T
will never know anything more about
him.
No account Of his trial, no mention
OF his deeds, no grewsome tale OF
the firing squad or sombre picture of
prison walls,-nothing but the black
ness Of oblivion!
Wiped out! Gone! Unrecorded!
That is all. A spy has passed.
