TODD SAYS PLANT
WILL BE DOUBLED

YES" said William II. Todd,
after witnessing the launching of
the Masuda, second steel ship to
be launched at Tacoma, by the
time we have finished we will
have doubled the entire ship
building plant, and have brought
from 5000 to 5000 more men to
work in the yards.
The problem now which Is
giving us the most trouble is that
D.. of housing these men when they
do come here. The speed with
which this increase will be
brought about depends entirely
upon the people of Tacoma, and
whether they are willing to help
In solving this difficulty.
They should be willing and
able to take some Of these work
men into their homes and board
Them until provision is made for
them. The workmen of these
yards are q much better class of
men than they were some years
,go-when. I was an iron worker
We were all roughnecks," he add
ID with a smile.
THE government Is willing to
i'd us In this work, and, in fact,
has said that it Is absolutely
Imperative that something be
one here. w. e. Guerin, mana

American observers and rising
dust clouds told of movement in
the enemy's rear areas but the
guns on both sides were silent.
The stiffness is in marked con-
trast to the previous constant
cannonading.
The boche is SO jealous. in
guarding against raids at night
that he gives the impression of
being unusually nervous.

NEWSB0YS ON BATTLE FRONT
Great Risks While Distributing
Papers to the Soldiers.

During the first days of the war
British soldiers going up to Mons from
Boulogne were hailed by an ancient
French dame with her only British
phrase, "Da.e-ly Ma-i-l." She did her
best. Since those far-off days "Da-e-ly
Mail" has been called by the little
Belgian and French boys and girls all
along the line from Dunkirk to Bel
fort. Many risk has been run to buy
and sell the news Of yesterday. One
great load Of copies Of the London
Daily Mail arrived at a distributing
center by train just as the advancing
wave Of Germans threatened to pour
over the hne: =. =,
Prompt to the occasion the parcels
were seized by the soldiers and
thrown into the gap. Surely no news
paper parcels ever had a stranger fate
than to be used, fresh from the press
and unread, as sandbags for trenches
and shelter against whining scurry
Of machine-gun bullets. Back in Paris
an anxious publisher and thoughtful
cashier wondered in what category of
"unsold copies" the wagon load should
be put.
Three times the Daily Mail has
heard through advanced line distrib-
uting agents Of paper sellers shot by
snipers' bullets while making their
way along the trenches.

DEATH CLAIMS
MRS. DIR. B0DlEN

"A telegram was received last Fri
day by L. E. Hedstrum announcing the
death of his daughter, Adolpha, Which
occurred some time during the night,
we believe as a result Of influenza
The deceased was formerly Miss
Adolpha Hedstrum and was married
last summer to DR.. Bodien, of Minne-
apolis, and to which city the young
folks moved. DR.. Bodien is also a
lieutenant in the government service.
Mrs. Bodien was young woman of
many accomplishments and was par
ticularly so with the violin with which
instrument she had in years past en-
tertained the people Of this as we'll
as other cities. Her death is a great
loss to the family and Valley City
friends will deeply sympathize with
them in their great bereavement. We
have not learned any further particu.
lars of this sad death but will give
them later. The shock of the death OF
their daughter is very hard one fo1
the Hedstrum family and under the
circumstances we have waited before
calling them for information.

NOW FISH in INLAND WATERS
German Submarine, Have Driven
Hardy Dutch Sailors From Their
OCCUPATION in the North Sea.

In this day Of the lurking submarine
the waters Of the NORTH sea- area
marked danger zone for the fisherman
Of the Netherlands, and consequently
the rivers and inner seas Of Holland
are thronged with brown-sailed fishing
smacks, all eagerly pursuing the elu.
sive herring. salmon, pike and carp.
Until the boats tanks or barrels are
oiled the determined fisherman sticks
Ut his job. II a good haul is soon
made he may steer the craft up some
canal to an inland town to market
his catch. He gets out the sign,
"Fish for Sale," and fastens it to the
mast, draws the boat up to the canals
edge, and is soon besieged by house
wives anxious to inspect his wares.
The fish, as If conscious Of their pend
Ing fate, swim uneasily about In the
tank, while thrifty Dutch matrons
follow certain ones excitedly with a
forefinger, and the seller endeavcrs to
locate the desired fish in the swarm
Ing tub.
On a summer evening when fleet
Of the good ships has made port after
hard days work, fishing village is
one of the most picturesque sights in
Holland. Sails patched or torn and
tapping rise and fall in the harbor
with the motion Of the waves. The
brawny Dutch fisherman, revived by
| supper and the evening pipe, is curing
fish and exchanging stories with neigh
bors on the dock, while his wife sits
| before her cottage mending nets, or
perhaps adjoining a torn sail with a
! vivid red patch.
There is little rest for these hard
working seamen and their wives. Fish
have long been to Holland what rice
is to China O.: the potato to America.
With it's food supply ebbing danger
ously low, Holland looks more than
ever to her fisher folk to feed the
people.

DICKEY COUNTY
COMING STRONG

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 25.-"Look for
Dickey county to give S. J. Doyle a
fine majority"
That was the word brought to Far
go today by w. w. Perry, national
committeeman of the democratic
party.
Republicans and democrats in
Dickey county are working in perfect
harmony to bring about the election
of Mr.. Dople to the governorship."
said Mr.. Perry. "A majority of the
Joint Campaign committee of Dickey
county are republicans, and they are
working just as sincerely and earnest
ly for the election Of Mr. Doyle as are
the democrats"
ut is no longer a partisan PROPOSE
ton; it is straight question Of So
cialism that our people are confronted
with, and the farmers Of Dickey coun-
ty are convinced of that fact, and will
have nothing further to do with the
socialists.
"When Mr.. Doyle spoke in Ellen
dale several days ago, he was heard
by large number Of supporters Of
Mr.. Frazier, and many Of them have
since come to us and told us they are
for Mr.. Doyle, and, more they have
joined the Doyle forces as active
workers in the field.
"Dickey county certainly will not be
in the socialist column. 1t will be for
Mr.. Doyle for governor; for C. J. Fisk
for supreme court judge; for Minnie
7. Nelson for superintendent of pub
lie instruction, and it will be against
the socialist constitution
In Dickey county the county COM
mittee is using newspaper advertising
space to carry its message to the vot-
ers.

RURAL SCHOOL
RALLlESCANCELLED

State Supt. Macdonald has just sent
out letter to the county superinten-
dents informing them that the meet
ings of the teachers and directors
scheduled to be held next month have
been cancelled. He says in this letter:
1T hardly seems necessary to men,
ton that the epidemic of influenza
now raging in the state is the cause. y
He says further, "Two- thirds of the
schools are now closed for from one to
| five weeks and for possibly longer To
have the meetings, even though the
epidemic seemed to be abating by No.
vember 18th, might be to cause a re-
currence of the disease through bring
| ing together large crowds. Then also
in view of the fact that so many
schools have been closed during DC.
tober, we would hardly be justified ir
calling in the teachers for another
! week just after the schools had re.
opened"
All arrangements had been COM
pleted for the rallies, and State Supt
i Macdonald regrets very much that the
teachers and school officers will moi
have the privilege to hear message
of inspiration from such men from out
of the state as DR.. A. E. Winship, DR.
j. L. McBrien, Superintendent Lee
Driver and M. H. Jackson, and Com
missioner C. C. Swain, as we'll as from
prominent men and women from ou1
own state. But all this, Supt. Mac
donald says, is of comparative minor
Importance when compared to the sor
row and suffering caused by the cpl
demic that makes the cancelling o.
these meetings necessary.
He states further in his letter tha
later on arrangements may be made
for district meetings to be held OF
Saturdays in the various counties, ant
at which time the State Department O.
Education will be represented.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 4-Charles
Warren Fairbanks, former Vice-Pres-
ident of the United States, and former
United States Senator for Indiana,
died at his home here at S:55 o'clock
tonight.
Death was due to intcrstital ne
phritis which has been a chronic all
ment with him but not regarded as
particularly serious until recently.
All members of the former Vice-Pres-
ident's family, expect Mayor Richard
Fairbanks, who is in France, were at
bedside
Mr.. Fairbanks became unconscious
several days ago and did not regain
consciousness up to the time of his
death.
Mr.. Fairbanks was siXty-six years
of age and had been nominated twice
on the Republican ticket for Vice
President of the United States. After
his first nomination he was elected
but was defeated in his second race in
1916.
The former Vice e-President's health
had been poor for several years. Dur
ing the third Liberty Loan campaign,
while on a speaking tour in behalf of
the loan, he suffered a physical break

RAzED CHICKENS
In Attempt TO Raise Potatoes an East
End Lady Made n Big DEM
OnStratiOn

1t isn't every one that can be a sue
ccssful farmer and poultry raiser at
the same time.
And what will kill potato bugs, will
also kill chickens, as a lady of the
Sixth Ward knows too well now.
The lady in question had splendid
war garden, her potato crop being es-
pecially a good one, and the potato
bugs weren't long in finding that out
either.
One morning she went out to view
her luxuriant potato patch and it was
literally covered with bugs, and she
determined to get rid of them before
they got rid of her potato crop, so
she procured the necessary poison and
sprayed her vines well.
The next day, finding the ground
strewn with the remains of the dead
Huns, the thought struck her that the
chickens would like to eat them, and
she turned in her choice hens, and
they got busy on the poisoned bugs,
and it wasn't long until the poisoned
bugs got busy, with the result that
thirty of the egg-producers went the
way of the potato bugs.
Too bad that old Mr.. Experience Is
such an expensive teacher, but he is,
and a good one, too.
