Farmer, Hired Man and Liberty Loan.

Intelligent farmers know that a
hired man does better work if he is
bountifully fed, pleasantly housed and
warmly clad. Uncle Sam today has
abroad close to 100000 hired men,
engaged in the most toilsome and haz-
ardous. work. They cannot be fed,
clothed and housed unless money is
provided The purchase of Liberty
bonds proRdas the government with
funds to finance this gigantic task.
The men in the trenches must be cared
for by the men at home. Give the
boys the best we can afford. They
deserve it all.

NURSES NEEDED FOR
NATIONAL ARMY MEN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The medi-
cal department of the army is figur-
ing on providing nurses for fighting
force of 1, 100000 men. The nurse
corps must have 1880; its present
strength is $500
Hospitals at national army and ma
tional guard camps, where thehe is
rauch sickness, still are short 81
nurses. This number would bring the
quotas up to the minimum considered
necessary-five nurses for a hospital.
Nurses are being called for 3--.ly TO
meet Immediate aeniands in army
hospitals here and for duty over seas,
but the present rate of enrolment is
not encouraging. Nineteen hundred
and three requests for application
blanks have been received since early
this month and the blanks forwarded;
of the 351 nurses who have applied
for enrolment, many have been ac-
aepted. These enrolments are in ad-
ditions to about $50 nurses obtained
through the Red Cross during the
same period.
To get additional nurses some of
the requirements heretofore imposed
are waive4. 1t is estimated that there
are between $4,000 and 10000 register
ed nurses in the country and about
10000 other graduate and practical
NJ rses.

CASE DECIDED

On the 4th day of May Judge Cooley
of Grand Forks, decided the above
case in favor of Mrs. O'Brien. He
was called in to try the case on a
charge of venue from Judge Buttz.
Mrs. O'Brien proved up a government
quarter of land in 1889, and permitted
Daniel E. Martin, to use it to carry
a loan for him and permitted him to
enter into possession and farm it.
Possession continued under this ar
rangement till he died in 1909. His
Widow Alice E. Martin continued in
possession and farmed it till last fall
when she commenced an action against
Mrs. O'Brien to quiet her title to the
land, claiming that her predecessors
and her possession entitled her to a
title by prescription. Mrs. O'Brien
contended that adverse possession
would not lie because Martin went in
to possession with her knowledge and
consent. This land is now worth
about $5000.00, and besides possession
the court awarded Mrs. O'Brien $1,000
for rents. Adamson & Blood appeared
for Mrs. Martin, and w. NJ. Ander-
son appeared for Mrs. O'Brien.

BASEBALL SEASON
OPENS SUNDAY

Next Sunday afternoon at 800 at
the ball park near the 500 depot the
local ball team will meet Starkweather
in the opening game of the season.
Starkweather has .heen practicing for
two weeks and from all reports has
a very strong lineup. Carver, Their
most dependable mound artist will un-
doubtedly do the hurling for the visit
ors, and if he does the local boys will
have to play ball to beat them.
The members of the local team were
out for practice last Sunday as we'll as
the prvious Friday and the fans were
much impressed with their splendid
showing. Nearly all of last years men
were in uniform and about 10 new
faces appeared for work out. Some
of the new material is first class,
of them being professionals and ons
of them an Association man, formerly
with Milwaukee. Anyone whe witness
ed some of the game at Chautauqua
park last year will know that Devils
Lake was represented by first class
organization, and with the strengthen
ing they will get from the new men,
will undoubtedly be able to hold their
own with the fastest teams in the
country.
The fact that the proceeds of this
game 60 to the Red Cross is expected
to bring out record attendance. The
ball boys are going to give the receipts
Of the Sunday games to this organiza-
ton right along. There is to: be no
charge but there will be
score cards for sale and every grown
up person, male or female, is suppose
to buy a score card.

GEORGE MARSHAL
ENTERTAIN ELKS.

Gee. ]. Marshall, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Marshall Of this city, was
one of the new members taken in at
the Elks lodge Saturday evening, and
during the evening he was called upon
to give little account of his travels
since he left this city to join the U. S.
Navy, and those who listened to his
talk were surely much interested.
Young Marshill was on the convoy
ship, Atlantic Sun, when it was struck
by 4 torpedo and sunk about 40 miles
oc the coast of Scotland. The ship
sank in twelve minutes after it was
struck, but the entire crew got safely
into the life boats, and finally all but
two were saved. The captain of the
German submarine came among the
life boats and took one officer as a
prisoner, which customary in such
cases to prove to their country that
they had really sunk ship. At the
time the ship was struck George was
in the "crows nest" about rs feet up
from the deck and was on lookout
duty and when the ship was struck
the ladder under him was blown away
and he was compiled to slide down on
the ropes. It was great and terrible
experience and the way he told the
whole story was most interesting.

POLICE WATCHING
FOR JAIL BREAKERS

On May End the local sheriff's Of
flee received word from the authori-
ties at Brandan, Ca, to be on the
watch for two fellows who had just
broken Jail at that place who were
serving terms for highway robbery.
AS result of this warning local Of

veloments closely. When they broke
Jail at Brandon they stole an auto
mobile which they drove to within IL
miles of Hansboro, where it ran out
of oil. Here they abonded the ca,
and appropriated another. They were
then lost track Of until yesterday
when message from Rolla informed
them that two fellos answering their
description had stolen a Ford from
one And Hagen, and that they were
headed this way. It was soon learned
that they had broken into a store at
Maza where they took on gasoline, and
had had fire which burned the top
partly up, one of the cushions and
tail lamp, which articles were left
where the car was filled. It is pre-
snmed that in filling the car they spill
ed gas which was ignited from the tail
lamp and the car set afire. A close
watch was kept for them yesterday
forenoon, but their whereabouts re-
manned a mystery until about noon
when a message from Leeds stated
that they has passed through OF near
that city short time before and that
they had arriver at Brinsmade where
they had abandoned the stolen car and
and had taken a speeder for their use.

(Just as We are going to press De-
putty Sheriff Ed. Elliott informs US
that message from New Rockford
contains the information that the
above mentioned highwaymen We're
arrested at that place shortly after
dinner yesterday and that there is but
little doubt they are the fellows that
escaped from the Brandon jail.)

Last Sunday the people of the
Methodist Episcopal churches in N.
d., listened to the discussion of a
common theme from their pulpits.
That theme was Christian Education.
The occasion was the Launching
Sunday of the big campaign now be-
ing started in behalf of Wesley college
a Methodist institution working af-
filiation with the state university at
Grand Forks.
The campaign is being conducted
with the cooperation of the Board of
Education Of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, and under the immediate
leadership of the Educational Jubilee
of Methodism, an organization coope-
rating in similar campaignss all over
the country. Ee.ss
The amount which has been determ-
ined upon as necessary to place Wes-
ley College upon. firm footing is four
hundred thousand dollars. This amount
is expected to be raised by midnight
of July :.
Meetings have been held at various
centers and both pastors and churches
have manifested the utmost loyalty
to the work in hand. The Rev. A. L.
Howarth, the active manager of the
campaign in North Dakota, feels that
it is already possible to see the way
through to a successful termination Of
the effort.
The feeling is that the strengthen
ing Of the educational facilities of the
country is vital in the present national
crisis. The successful conduct of the
war and the rebuilding of the nations
aftc~ the war both call for the largest
possible number of highly trained
leaders and workers.

A call For Patriotic Action.


practice of gathering large. quanti-
ties of spring blossoms plucked from
the wild fruit bearing trees and vines
SO abundant along the wooded slopes
around Devils Lake.
In gathering these blossoms do you
realize that you are destroying large
quantities of fruit which might and
would be canned for next winters use?
To gather these pretty blossoms salts
fies only an appeal to their beauty and
fragrance, while their real merit, that
of food supply is absolutely wasted.
From this time on, let every patriotic
citizen, man, woman and child be a
committee of / to see that this waste
is not permitted this year, and where
evidence of such destruction is shown,
steps will be taken if necessary to
deal with the offenders as trespassers
on the property where the trespass is
committed. The times warrant the
most rigorous measures necessary to
conserve the tremendous quantities of
wild fruit heretofore wasted by this
habit of gathering the wild blossoms.
To all who have the right spirit and
patriotic motives at heart this sug-
gestoin will receive hearty approval
and it will no doubt be found that
when called to the attention of the
public generally, all will be happy to
refrain from gathering of blossoms

parties were there, and their only
aim seemed to he to put ticket into
