BIG CROWD HERE
FOR PLAY DAY

The weather man was reluctant to
give us a good day for this occasion
but after the first few hours of the
morning when it threatened to storm
it cleared up. Hundreds of peo-
weather is good. Hundreds Of peo-
pie were in town from all over the
county, most of them to help celebrate
play day while others have come in
to see the movies. The big crowd was
out at the Chautauqua where they are
having various stunts and participant
ing in the noon tide lunch.

down town some time this afternoon:
Play Day has been great success
for many years in Barnes county and
this year it will be success also. 1t

ALVIN SWENSON
DROWNED SATURDAY

. III .t l. EAsE.
The Sheyenne river claimed its first
victim of the season at this point last
Saturday night about Z o'clock, when
Alvin Swenson, the 12-year-old son Of
Mrs. Nicola Swenson lost his life.
Just how the boy got into the river
is not known. 1t appears that he was
in boat and the theory is that he
either leaned over or stood up in the
boat and was precipitated into the wa
ter. He could not swim. The alarm
that a boy was in the river was COM
municated to the j. H. Seymour res
idence and other neighbors, and Mr..
Seymour hurried to the river undress-
ing as he went. He saw the empty
boat and jumbed into the river and
got into the boat, in the meantime the
boy had gone under and Mr.. Seymour
not being able to dive could do moth
ing more. Help came very soon, Yer
non Gale and James Combs got there
quickly and both dived for the boy but
could not get him. The police had
been phoned for and Chief Swanson
and others were on the spot with
graphing hooks in a very few min
utes. They worked for over three
hours dragging for the body and fin
ally got it between 10 and II o'clock.
The remains were taken to the un-
dertaking parlors of N. O. Holberg,
county coroner. The case. was purely
accidental 50 that an inquest was .un-
necessary. The father Of the boy died
in January last. Mrs. Swenson and
the rest Of the family have the SYM
pathy of their neighbors and friends
in this hour Of great grief. He have
learned Of no particulars as to when
and where the funeral will be held.
Later-The funeral will be held
Thursday afternoon on the Swenson
farm, west Of Walum. The body will
be at his late home at 1926 Riverside
avenue Tuesday afternoon where
those who wish to view the remains
can do so. The body will be, shipped
to Walum Wednesday morning ant
the funeral held Thursday in charge
of Director N. O. Holberg.

USE POTATOES i IN
STEAD OF WHEAT

America has fallen behind in it's
shipments of food to Europe. We
must make up our obligations now by
sending more cereals, especially
wheat. Eating potatoes is one way to
increase the supply Of wheat.
We have the potatoes-millions of
bushels are available now; they won't
be as good three months from now.
To conserve both wheat and potatoes

that next years production will beat

a Does it not fill you with. shame to
read the morning paper with wheat
bread before you in any form? Shame
on any American who does not stimu
late further production Of potatoes
by conserving them now!
Our comrades across the sea need
wheat. They need every bit we have
in this country. What would Ger
many do under these circumstances
If the Hohenzollern family demanded
WICdC LII VIC p4OoCA S0GAO4A VI @uSO-
cracy the German people would be
compelled to send the last grain and
they would be compelled in the name
Of autocracy to eat potatoes.
We can improve on that. OF our
own free will we can send wheat for
liberty; out Of love for our fellows
we can eat potatoes for democracy.
The men crippled in fighting our
battles, the women widowed for our
freedom, the children orphaned to
make the world safe for future chill
dren, they are the ones who stretch
their pitiful hands to us across the
seas. We can say: brothers and isis
tiers, every grain of wheat, every par
ticle of flour this country has is yours
YOURS. We have said it-empty
words do not fill empty stomachs,
neither does maudlin sentimentality.
NOW ACT -
No able-bodied true American will
object to potatoes as substitute at
the noon or evening meal. A popping
I baked potato, a hot, dry, boiled pota-

isfy any normal person. Substitute
now cheerfully, for the time is not TAI
distant when you must sacrifice
; whether you will or not. Therefore
take the training.

has been a worker in the Y. w. C. A.
for Is years and will tell our people
Of the great work being done by this
organization during the war. The

soldier boys. Father Dunno will de.
liver his lecture on "The Triumph of
Democracy" during the afternoon and

LAYSAFE0R
BE SORRY. WHICH?

In a democracy like ours, no econo-
mic change or governmental reform
can be either lasting or beneficial un-
less, at least a majority Of the people
have first thoroughly digested stu
died it from every angle and then
concluded that the taking of any pro-
posed step for the upsetting of estab-
lished institutions and customs, will,
in on way, result in harm to them
selves, their families or their prop
or in the future.
Have we,, here in North Dakota,
gone about our political business in
this cautious manner Are we en-
tirely satisfied that we, know enough
about many Of. the changes that are
proposed, and the men who are pro-
posing them, to want to risk the max
ing of these changes in the manner
proposed, and leave the changing in
the hands Of the 4proposers?
From whom have we gathered the
information upon which we are, about
to make these conclusions? Is it not a
fact that the men whose word we have
been taking for granted as being re-
liable have themselves made failure
of practically everything that they
have undertaken? It is wise for us to
decide what we want to do without
hearing from others on the subjects
under discussion !.
The province Of Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Canada, are being pointed
out to use as examples worth follow
ing. The Regina Post Of SaskAtche-
wan, Canada, has to say on the sub
ject. Somebody ought to 60 to
North Dakota and tell the farmer adj
ministration that it is making mis-
take; that bonds are dangerous, that
state Improvements should be made
one layer at time on the pay-as-you-

katchewan should tell the new gov
eminent that there are thousands Of
people in this province that believe
chat the present system Of financing is
all wrong and that spendthrift gen
Grafton is laying up burden for. the
children and grandchildren Of the fu-
ture, which the latter will accept with
extremely bad grace"
The North Dakota farmers should
be warned that it is just as spectacu-
tive for state to borrow money with
which to make improvements, as it is
for farmer to borrow money in or
der to buy feeding stock in the fall, or
make extensive improvements on
crops to come but fail. They should
be warned that the same disaster will
overcome the state as a farmer suf-
ferer if he goes into debt so deep that
he can't get out. Accommodating inter

The Arizona Bureau of Mines re- gently received from the curator of geology of the Smithsonian Institute a statement that a considerable quan- tity of clear quartz crystals was need ed at once for use in the manUfac- ture of optical instruments used by the signal corps.
 The material desired should be ab- solutely colorless and free from cracks and other faults, and should occur in crystals at least 212 inches long and 1 inches thick. If any one knows where such material can be ob- tained and will send samples of the mineral to the Arizona Bureau of Mines, University of Arizona, Tucson, and will state the quantity available, the bureau will be glad to determine whether the specimens so submitted are of the grade desired, and will ar range for the marketing of all suitable material.

ALI POOLED STOCK HELD
 UNTIL DIVIDENDS ARE PAID

was issued in payment for the proper ty owned by the company. This stock
 is owned usually by the promoters of such companies, and is termed promo ton stock. The commission, as a condition precedent to the issuing of authority authorizing the company to sell its capital stock, compelled the pooling of such stock with the com mission. All of these permits will eX- pire by the operation of law, July 1, 1918, and the commission is of the opinion that many of the said cOmpa- nies viii not renew their application but will endeavor to secure the re- lease Cf such pooled stock. If the com mission releases the same, there is no method by which it can prevent such stock 0e}ng sold to the unsuspecting public, although the property owned by the company will not have been developed and there may have been no intention upon the part of it's pro moters to ever develop the same but to secure the release of such stock pure ly for purposes of disposing of same for whatever price they might ob- tain.
 Under the provision of the above resolution, this stock will not be re- leased and cannot be released until the company shall have become a go- ing concern and declared and paid dividend out of earnings of not less than per cent on all of its outstand- ing issued capital stock.
 If this resolution is adhered to by the Arizona Corporation and we hope and trust that it will be, promoters of mining and oil companies cannot real ize upon their stock until the company is actually successful in securing min ersl or oil in paying quantities.
 We believe the enforcement of this resolution will be helpful to the legiti- mate mining industries of the state and will have a tendency to compel the promoters of all companies us- ing all the means within their power to endeavor to make the company sue cessful; otherwise, their promotion stock will never be released by the corporation commission.
