Car Stolen While
Gunner Attends A
Mission MeetinQ

Rev. w. j. Medland of Wesley col
lese. who is taking a prominent part
in the centenary drive being held
hes e by the Me:',odist church, has de-
cided thai there is plenty of room for
missionary work right here in Grand
Forks.
While Mr.. Mcdland was at the
church Sunday night, planning the
worldwide missionary movement,
certain of the unregenerates of Grand
Forks helped themselves to his ma
chine which was standing in front Of
the sacred edifice. and proceeded to
use it for joyriding purposes.
Mr.. Medland decided that it was
not quite the time to obey the Biblical
Instructions anent giving ones coat to
him who takes ones coat. and notified
the police with the result that the ma
chine was located shortly before mid
night on the outskirts of the city,
having been abandoned by the joyrid-
erS.

WITH the WOMEN ofTODAY

No longer will the pages of his
tory be filled with the deeds of men
pioneers only. This twentieth CEN
fury has brought forth some women
pioneers whose deeds will be far more
unique and interesting than their
grandmothers or even their mothers
could have imagined in their widest
moments. The modern woman is a
pioneer in many fields, not only in
one. When one stops to consider it
seems there Is scarcely a woma liv-
first" in something. Perhaps she
may be the first councilman in her
town, perhaps the first bank presi-
dent in her state, or maybe a judge.
There seems to be a limitless number
of first" things which a woman may
be.
Miss Mary o'Toole might we'll be
one of the women to go down in the
annals as a real pioneer. She has
been a pioneer in MANY fields. Her
latest wandering from the beaten path
was made when she was elected di-
rector in the Citizens Savings bank
in Washington. Thus she became the
first woma in the capital to be ac-
corded hat honor.
Miss O'Toole is a native of ireland
and is by nature a pioneer. She was
the first woman to be n~aturalized in
Steuben county, N. Y, in 1900. She
was also the first woman to be APP
pointed official stenographer in that
county and to continue with her list
of "frsts'' she was the first woman
to be chosen director of the Wash
ington chamber of commerce and
now as director of the bank she has
added her newest achievement to her
name. What will be next?
Miss O'Toole was graduated from
the Washington College Of Law in
1908. a.

TRANSFER
CHANGES OWNERSHIP
OF. BUSINESS BLOCKS

One of the most important proper
ty transfers transacted in the business
section of Grand Forks for some lit
tie time was completed this morning
when Mrs. Josephine E. Horton sold
the Argyle block to her sister, Mrs.
Wilhelmina Reed for a consideration
of $4,000.
Mrs. Horton then purchased Mrs.
Reeds half interest in the Gotham
block and as Mrs. Horton already
owned half of the property the full
ownership of the block is now in her
name. The consideration was $50. 900.
The Argyle property sometimes
known as the Campbell block was
built by DR.. r. D. Campbell only a
few years ago.

the jury in the Henry Ford Chicago
Tribune libel suit today Weymouth
Kirkland, counsel for the Tribune,
said:
This suit is not n Of money. it
is a moral question. It is a question
between the Tribune which has al
ways stood for America first, last and
all the time, and Henry Ford, who
has branded out soldiers as murder
ers. and has said that the American
flag ought to come down. The Ameri-
canism of the Chicago Tribune is not
on trial but the Americanism of Hen
ry Ford is.
The afternoon session was to be
devoted to legal arguments on scope
