and carried her 10 the hospital. She
was soon well enough to sail onward
TO France again.
She was soon in the hospital healing

After sunset the three boys marched

They spread their cloth on an old
bench and ate their supper in silence.
They had agreed to stay until - o'clock

to read. After Il long, long while

There they saw going around and

something happened that brought them

STACKER RECORD

IN GREAT SHAPE
Hundreds of Idle Discs Will BE

for Our Boys
TALE OF WIDOWS MITE

The Stacker record drive In Bis
marck Is going big.
Mrs. A. G. Jacobson, president of
the Thursday Musical club, which has
charge of the campaign in this city,
reports that members Of the club be-
gan an active canvass this morning,
and that they are meeting with the
finest possible encouragement every.

., Ono member within an hour after
beginning her canvass has collected
two score records in good condition
and ranging all the way from "!Alcx-

and records which long have lain idle
in music-lnachine cabinets have been
brought to the light and soon will be
speeding on their way to grind out
good cheer and entertainment for the
Yanks in Hunland ~."
One affecting instance was related
this morning. A canvasser called al
the home of a widow who is all alone
III the world since she gave her son
to his country several months ago.
"Oh, l think this drive Is such a
splendid thing" she said. Only a
couple of weeks ago, had a letter
from my boy, and he said, Mother,

only got two good records left for our

the price of one good record. Others
who haven't records or needles or un-
used talking machines which they
can give, may do their bit by contrib

Probable That Veteran War

Used by Townley

Although he was defsated for re-
election to the house, Rep Anthony
Walton Of Ward, the master Lacquer
who Is here serving on the state budg-
ct board as chairman of the house ap-
propriation committee, assures the
press that he will be very much pres.

warhorse from Ward today.
Rep. Walton rather resented re-

He says he doesn't want his friends
to feel that because the league failed

AS lobbyist, member Of the steering
committee, assistant conductor of the
secret league caucus, or In any other
capacity in which Mr.. Townley may
use him, Anthony Walton is expected
to prove very valuable servant. He
is All old-time leader in North Dakota
farmers economic and political move
ments. His personal following
throughout the state probably is larg.
er than that of any other prominent
leader. He Is generally regarded as
a type OF the Nonpartisans who will
form tho basis Of a reorganization
which is believed certain to come
sooner tor later after the fallacies Of
the extreme socialist program upon
which the league now is embarked
have been exposed. .tEs
Just at present, however, Townley
has in the. whole northwest no more
faithful lieutenant than Anthony Wal:

ciety when the big chief decided to
remove the offending NJ. r. johnson.

CAPT. BAKER
GETS ACTION
]. ON HARD COAL
Protest Brings Quick Response
From Washington and AS !.
~ ,surance of Supply

nIF'ederal Fuel administrator Baker
has been advised by the national Of
fices of the fuel administration OF
Washington that specific orders were
placed last week with the docks at
the head of the lakes that during the
next two weeks the allotment to North
and South Dakota be brought up to
the percentage Of Wisconsin and MIN
nesota, and Washington has assurance
that this will be done.
Capt Baker last week filed very
vigorous protest with the federal fuel
administration against an apparent
discrimination in the distribution Of
anthracite from the head Of the lakes.
Up to November 9, North Dakota had
received but 1856 per cent of its win
ter's allotment of anthracite and South
Dakota but 50.70 per cent, as COM
pared with 1854 per cent and 59.57
per cent respectively for Minnesota
and Wisconsin,. North Dakota has
been allotted only $40 per cent of the
anthracite which is to come into these
four northwestern states;t South Da-
kota gets but 6.97 per cent, while
41.59 per cent goes to Minnesota and
1902 per cent to Wisconsin.
