FITTING COMMUNITY MOVEMENT.
Mr.. Hawley Expresses Appreciation of
Good Friday Service.

Editor of The Reformer:
May | express in this manner what
| feel IS the feeling Of those who were
present i'll the Baptist church last eve
ming, thc most sincere appreciation of
the whole spirit and tone Of the Good
Friday service. The dual idea of the
church year observance of Good Friday
and OF PRAYER for our country and her
allies, was most fitting as a community
movement and the prayers of our pas
tors especially appropriate and comfort
ing.
The musical setting with It's fcveren-
tial treatment of Gounod s composition
was most uplifting and certainly I'M
poses debt Of appreciation upon our
citizens to the organist, Mr.. Cram, the
pianist, Miss Stewart, and the hard
working singers, which can only be
discharged by the proper encourage
ment at all times OF these efforts tc
give of their best
May further opportunities be afford
ed for getting together before God, es
pecially in these days of terrible strife
and stress

In Tune.

The girl who cannot play finger ex-
ercises without wincing if the piano
is out of tune, is sometimes strangely
indifferent to discords in the home life.
1t is true that the piano strings should
be kept frightened, so that notes shall
be neither sharp nor fiat, but it is
vastly more important that the hearts
OF the household shall be in tune. that
there may be no jangling.--Girl's Com

FAMOUS TENNESSEE
LAND CASE Is IN
SUPREME C0URT
Appeal Taken by Company That
Invested Its Money in
Tax Titles

'Burleigh scountys famous "Tennes.
see land case'' reached supreme court
Wednesday via an appeal from a di.
rected verdict for the defendant order.
ed by Judge Nuessle on the trial of
the action in the Burleigh county dis.
trict court. The Red River Valley
Land Co. is the plaintiff, and Lyman
Harris, as administrator for the estate
of the late S. Harris of ,Menoken, is
defendant. The plaintiff claims that
it invested approximately $500 in
Tennessee tax titles sold by Harris as
agent for a southern land company
and that when it's representatives in.
vaded tho Cumberland mountain re,
gion to claim their property they
found the hardy mountaineers guard
ing their tax titles with squirrel guns
In some manner the Tennesseeans, it
is claimed, heard Of the deal that was
being pulled off in the far northwest,
and they Immediately proceeded to
take care Of their taxes. AS result,
the plaintiff found its tax titles of lit
tie value. In the original suit dam
ages in the sum Of 100000 were
claimed, but on trial it is said to have
developed that this was the estimated
value of the land, and not the amount
actually invested in tax titles.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets the substi.

Of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive.colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids OF calomel. They take hold
ct the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense Of the teeth1
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. $50 do strong liquids. It is best not
to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.

The receipt of this wire from SEN

orally of the Bismarck Indian school,
one Of the best equipped institutions
in the west, which was closed early
last fall as an economy move on the
part Of the department of the inter-
iOr. aE. ~" ..
The school was filled with students
when the orders to close came, and
there was general sorrow among he
little redskins and their parents when
the letter came in 10 take their young
sters home to the reservations. Be-
cause it is within easy distance of
all the three North Dakota reserva-
tiOns, the Bismarck school has kept
in closer touch with the population
it serves than have similar institu-
tions in other states. There has been
neighborly feeling between the
school and the reservation Indians,
to capacity. It's students on gradua-
ton have returned to their reserva-
ton homes and have been very large
ly responsible for the unusual degree
Of progress which has been noted
among the Objibways and Santee Da-
kotas of the Turtle Mountains, the
Arickaras, Mandans and Hidatsus of
Eerthold and the Teton Dakotas Of the
Standing Rock.
There was much opposition to the
action of the department of the inter
ior when the school was closed, but
it died away when the apparent ne
cessity for such a course was explain
ed, and when those interested were
promised that the school would re-
open at an early date. All of the
North Dakota members of congress
have been working in the interests of
the school. Senator Gronnas wire is
taken to mean that he has procured
a new appropriation which will be-
come available for needed buildings
June 80, and that former appropria-
tion of $4,000 which has not yet been
expended will be invested in build
ings planned some years ago. The
next school year will open September
l, 1918. 1t is said the school, with
proper dormitory facilities could cas-
lily build up its student body to 500.
