SECRETARY
BAKER ASKS
FOR NURSES
FOR ARMY

Secretary Of War Baker has issued
an official call for nurses to care for
the soldiers who are sure to need
them in the heavy fighting ahead of
them in France. He made the call
thru the American Red Cross, which
is in charge of the recruiting of nurses
Next after the arming, sheltering
and transporting of the army, the Sec
retary said, comes the duty of "con-
serving it's health and vitality, and
binding up the wounds which unhap-
PLY, but inevitably, must come to it."
Secretary Baker urges all hospitals
to release as many nurses as possible
for overseas service; all training
schools to increase their output of
graduate nurses; civil communities to
take care of the public health so that
fewer nurses will be needed; and all
persons to take as little time of nurses
as possible, but to rely on attendants
who cannot serve the army.
The call from Secretary Baker is in
line with the original appeal from
Surgeons General Gorgas of the army
and Braisted Of the Navy, declaring
that they must have $4,000 nurses
before the end of the year.

CHILDREN'S
DAY At CONGRE-
GATIONAL Church

The First Congregational church was
beautifully decorated with ferns,
palms, plants and cut-fowers in honor
of Children's Day Sunday June 9th
The forenoon services were given up
wholly to the children. The program
was an excellent one made up of reci-
tations by the children, solos by both
grownups and children in which every
one rendered their various parts with
credit to themselves and pleasure to
the large audience present. The little
drama "The Finding of Moses" IL
ustrated that historical story to the
children in a way that will not be
soon forgotten by them. Another
feature of the program was the bap-
tismal service and the awarding of
the Primary Diplomas. On the whole
the program rendered was a good one
and the children have much credit for
the commendable way in which they
took their parts.

From-Napoleon, North Dakota Home
stead, June z, 1918.
Last Saturday evening a sensation
was sprung here when Sheridan V.
McElroy, who for the past eight
months has peen foreman of the Home
steaa ~offlce,s was placed under arrest
i by Sheriff Geo. Laney charged with
grand larceny of $636.5O from the
Merchants Bank of this city on or
about March 27, 1918, the date when
Henry Biersdorf, assistant cashier of
I the bank, was found dead in the bank
and the working currency" missing.
The matter of Henry's death and the
missing funds has been a deep mystery
to both officials and everyone else.
Thus far we understand the veidence
against the defendant, who has waiv-
ed a preliminary examination and is
being held in default of $4,000 bail,
is merely circumstantial.
1t is claimed that in the recent past
the defendant has expended several
hundreds of dollars in excess of his
income, while previous to the bank
robbery he was a borrower. The de-
fendant claims he can prove an alibi.
The defendant came to Napoleon
from Grand Rapids, Wis, last August
and has since that time been employed
at the Homestead office.
