READY FOR
Ch00l MEET N

Mandan is all ready for. the coming
of the Sunday School host which will
invade her quarters next week, Tues
day, Wednesday, and Thursday, for
the State convention Of the North Da-
kota Sunday School Association, June
1919.
Every effort has been put forth to
mobilize the possibilities in the mat
ter of the use Nof homes for the
entertainment of delegates and in 9TH
er ways to make this, the Victory
convention of the association one of
the most successful in the history of
this work. Homes will be thrown open
with an open-hearted hospitality, and
the men and women are working on
the committees are giving large
blocks Of time in this service, as they
continue to develop interests that shall
make this very outstanding success.
The chorus members are hard at
work to. get ready for the coming of
H. A. Smith, the musical director, tilat
that they will be in readiness is i fore
gone conclusion.
Those who are taking part in the
Pageant Of the Stars and Stripes"
to be given on Tuesday night, are en-
tering heartily into their part Of the
pork. Those who are holding their
cars for the recreation which will be.
given on each Of the afternoons after
the afternoon sessions at 5 o'clock,
are gladly doing so. In short, every
one is doing all they possibly con to
show those who come to Mandan as
guests or delegates that this is real
city, and that there is real welcome
to be had for those who attend.
Reports from all over the state con-
tinue to show decided interest in
this event, and the fact that the re-
duced rate is now possible, will very
likely increase the delegation mater
tally.
Arrangements are being made to
check and park the automobiles that
will bring large numbers Of delegates
who wish to come by that conveyance.
From all reports, this will be q very
popular mode Of transportation. One
county president from the eastern
part of the state writes that the au-
tomobiles will be ready to start with
their loads on Monday morning early.
This gathering gives the people iv-
ing on the slope splendid opportun-
ity, to attend this greatest Of all Sum
day school gatherings held in the
state, and doubtless there will be
very large response. Mandan is ready
and waiting.

BANK , ! | GERS ] | CON ] !
ven NTION FRIDAY

About fifty bankers from the fifth
district group with their wives We're
here yesterday to attend the annual
convention which was held in the Elks
hall. The program was carried out
as per program published in the
Times Record yesterday afternoon.
The address Of welcome by Attorney
Herman Winterer was real effort
and contained a hearty welcome to
Valley City. The response by G.. s..
sNewberry, Of Darlington, was in that
happy vein that our old friend "Sank"
knows how to deliver, it was q tribute.
of appreciation. One Of the best
talks Of the day was by President G.
=. Allen, Of the State Normal school,
on How The Bankers Association
Can Help the Schools" There were
several other good talks during the
afternoon. At the conclusion Of the
program automobiles were provided
and the visitors were driven to the
boat landing east on East Main street
where a fleet Of motor boats, handled
by Prof. Williams, President Allen,
Prof. Meyer and others were in wait
ing to take the bunch for ride along
the beautiful and tortuous Sheyenne.
Just before the fotilla started on the
trip Mr.. Griffith stood on the bridge
and played a cornet solo Farewell to
Thee very beautifully. Whether
this meant a warning to the guests on
account Of the pilots and suggested
that they might not come back, we do
not know, but as the last tones went
echoing down the beautiful valley into
the hills the bunch was on the way on
one of the most beautiful river rides
in the country. Following that came
an automobile ride around the country
a buffet lunch at the Elks Home fol-
lowed by dance and good time,
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President 7. Melvin Lee, Valley
City.
Vice President j. Reimer, Har-
vey, N. D. s.. u +: =:
Secretary and Treasurer E. II.
Headland, Litchville, N. D. b
The place for holding the next con-
vention was not decided upon at this
meeting but was left to a committee
to decide at some future date.

BARNES COUNTY I
LIVE STOCK PICNIC

heavy rain storm during the night
Of Wednesday made the roads practi-
cally impossible for the farmers to
come in for the big live stock meeting
at the sChautauqua Park yesterday,
rhAny did 4 come s1sa and
the meeting was q good one during the
afternoon Of Thursday. The morn
ing program was cut out but e 2:3O
+. w. Schilling, Of Northfeld, Mimi,
was introduced to the audience and.
gave#a very fine talk on the 4 isadvant-.
ages Of stock raising and community
spirit. Mr.. Schilling is one of the
largest dairymen Of Minnesota and he
could not urge too strongly the advan-
tages Of our farmers going into the
dairy and stock business and the adj
vantages to be derived by getting the
best stock possible. He advocated,
modern farm homes and the keeping
of the boys on the farms by giving
them modern homes and modern
equipment to farm with. He claimed
that modern farm had the city beat
mile and the progressive young
farmer was the best type OF manhood
in the world. f. .8
Said Mr.. Schilling: Il would rath-
er my five daughters would keep COM
pany with a clean, modern young:
farmer than to be running around
with some Of these cigarette sucking
town fellows after nine o'clock at
night From the applause he recelv-- @ y
ed from that statement it seemed to
meet with the approval of the crowd.
It was splendid speech. ].

On Monday Afternoon.

George }. Schneeberger, while at
tending Safety Committee meeting in
Chicago on Monday afternoon saw the
giant gas-bag of the Goodyear dirigible
take fire in mid and plunge to earth
in curtain Of flames. He was on State

around the envelope, saw the passeng-
ers jump from the doomed balloon, and
saw them overtaken by the machine as
they were attempting to aIight in par
achutes He declares that their plight
seemed hopeless from the first because
everything happened so quickly. Al
most before their parachutes had
opened, he says, the flaming gas-bag
had overwhelmed them and hurled
them to earth in holocaust of smoke
and fire. Mr.. Schneeberger returned
to Kenosha on Monday evening. It is
reported that he is not at all anxious
to travel in a bi-plane much less
"blimp' after his experiences in Chi
cago on Monlay afternoon.

SIT IS THE WAR
Harry Greening Blames the Great Ad-
venture for the Fact that His Col
lar Pinches a Little.


My days Of Labor Closed,
There by my window
So a friend found Harry Grooming,
recently returned from overseas after
twelve months OF service, at his home
at SO Newell street, Saturday evening
4 m trying to get into civies, he
said almost STRANGELY while trying to
put on collar that fit before the war.
: Life in the army must have agreed
with me, for T can t close this collar. =
And he fused about his clothes as
he told his experiences in the war.
Greening was called to the colors on
the twenty-seventh of March, 1918, and
was sent to Camp Custer at Battle
Greek with the 310th Engineers. He
trained with that company for two
months and few days before leaving
the Michigan Camp, he was transferred
into the Medical Corps and sent to Fort
Riley, Kansas After intensive train
ing in the hospital there, he was ord
cred overseas, receiving orders to EN-
bark from Camp Merritt, New Jersey.
The trip across the Atlantic was I'M
eventful.
At Blois, France, Greening was put
i'll a casual replacement camp and here
the members of the Medical Corps were
separated to go to the hospitals on the
war front. He was assigned to an
Evacuation Hospital on the Chateau
Theirry front. Here, as well as on the
Marine, Aisne, ST. Mihiel, and, Meuse-
Argonne fronts, he took care of the
sick and wounded American soldiers.
On the first Of December, young
IGreening entrained for Pruem, Ger
many, as member of the American
Army of Occupation After being side
tracked on the Mosel River for five
days, he reached his destination, where
he was stationed until he received his
sailing orders for home.
The ex-soldier states his stay was
! anything but disagreeable. The peo-
pie with whom he lived were always
kind and generous to him as well as to
the other Americans in the outfit.
Sailing from Brest, on the twenty
eighth of June, he reached New York
feleven days after a delightful ocean
trip on high seas He was given his
honorable discharge at Camp Grant, -
and being fred" by Uncle Sam,
there was only one place to go,
That was home.

Postmaster German Form
erly Notified That There Is
No Longer Any Restraint
On Two.
HAVE REPORTED EVERY DAY
Men Who Came To Kenosha Under
Government Bond Have Met Every De-
mand and Were Gentlemen
All Bars Are Lifted.

Postmaster James German got rid Of
another of his wartime duties this
morning when he received formal notice
from Federal District Attorney Sawyer
that the restraints which had been
placed on alien enemies had been lifted
and that the bonds which these men
had been required to give had expired
and that they were no longer required to
make reports to government officials.
Kenosha had two men who had been
classed as alien enemies who have been
making daily reports to the postmaster
for a good many months. These men
were originally held by the government
at TT. Ogelthorpe, but some months ago
they were paroled with the understand
ing that they could come to Kenosha
Since that time under the provisions
of their bonds they have been required
to make the daily reports. These men
were all smiles today when they APP
peared at the post office and presented
to the postmaster the formal letter
from the United States district attor-
ney showing that the restraints about
them had been lifted and that they
were free to go as they please. The
men were Paul H. Kuehn and Joseph
Miller. 1t was declared that since they
had been in Kenosha there had not been
the shadow of a suspicion thrown about
them and that they had met every de-
mand made by the government.
The lifting of the ban in Kenosha is
simultaneous with the lifting of the
ban in all parts of the United States
and the government no longer is MAX
ing any restraints for men classed as
alien enemies. They are now en-
titled to all the rights of residence

FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS.
Reception In Honor of Duane and Har
old Bush Held Sunday at the Bush
Home In Somers.

A charming reception given in honor
of Duane and Harold Bush, recently
returned from overseas service, was
held Sunday afternoon at the home of
70. G.. Bush in Somers. Over forty
friends and relatives were present at
the gathering.
The two Bush boys have been in the
service of the United States army for
eighteen monuths and they kept the
guests well entertained by the tales
Of their experiences across the pond.
While the two were at the war front,
1t was noticeable that they told only
the pleasant and interesting incidents,
saying very little of the part they
played in the World War.
At six clock Inner was served,
which was followed by musical pro-
gram.

ssTHIRTEEN.o
Sgt. Francis Mayer Has Decided That
the Worlds AL Wrong About
Rather Famous Number.

When it comes to playing with the
figure thirteen President Wilson was
no more defiant than Sergeant Francis
Mayer and the men who routed him for
the long, long, trail from Kenosha to
France to Newport News.
Incidentally Sgt. Mayer came back
home on Monday evening so that he
can now talk laughingIy about the ON
inous thirteens in his experience with
the colors.
He left Kenosha on May 13, 1918.
On July 18th he sailed for France. In
spite Of the jinx under which he SEEM
cd to be doing his bit he worked so sue
cessfully over there that he was rails
ed to the grade of Sergeant First
Glass in the Signal Corps. On Novem-
Der 10, 1918, his unit was officially in
formed that the armistice had been
signed by Germany and on July Is,
1910, just year to the day since he
left New York for La Havre, he land
ed at Newport News on his way back
to the old home town.
And there are people who say that
thirteen is an unlucly number, lie re-
marked rather scientifically to friend
who came back to the States with him.
"They may think SO but you and
know that one thirteen-this one-was
one Of the real lucky days in our
life."
Sgt. Mayer was discharged at Camp
Grant on Monday morning and, stop
ping off at Chicago only long enough
to have scarlet chevron sewed on his
coat sleeve, reached Kenosha on Mon
day evening.

Memorial Dance Proves One
of the Most Successful
Charity Balls Ever
Given In Kenosha.
PROCEEDS WERE GRATIFYING
over Eight Hundred Tickets Were Sold
For Unique Midsummer Frolic
Campaigners Have Started House
Toulouse Canvass.

There was simmer at the 'ospital
'op but the dance that sounds some
thing like that was strictly taboo. Even
so everyone enjoyed hiscrsclf and at
the same time "hclped the sisters to
help the sick1. Both facts made the
dance one Of the most successful charity
balls in the history of Kenosha.
The af rcmentioned simmer was
furnished net by garish decorations
50 much as by midsummer gowns and
haherdashery. The conventional
black" was conspicuous for its abb
scnce. In it's place was haze Of
oivedrab, palm beach and gray, furn-
ishing contrast for ffocks in rose, pearl,
pale emerald, turquoise, and coral; all
Of which gave sheen and sparkle to the
whiteness Of acknowledged walls, flow
cred organizes, and flanncls.
In the way Of music de luxe dance
melodies were furnished by Johnson S
.la2z-Bandits. Their most popular NUM-
bcrs were "I'm Forever Blowing
Bubbles" and "'That Johnson jazz. !,
The hop was properly started by
General Chairman George Alleman, as
sisted by a special reception committee
composed of Mr. and Mrs. e. G. Theirs,
Captain Edward Dayton, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. A. Isermann, Mr., and Mrs. John
Brine, Mr.. and Mrs. p. j. Moohan, and
MIR, and Mrs. A. j. Palica. They greet
cd tho guests upon their arrival in
tho ballroom and led the grand march
which inaugprated the festivities of
the evening.
Financially the dance was all that
had been expected Of it. More than
seven hundred tickets had been sold
before Monday evening and something
over sixty were disposed Of at the box
Office while the hop was in progress.
II is believed that the proceeds from
the affair, after all reports have been
made, will total two thousand dollars,
all of which will go to the fund for
the new Memorial Hospital.
Supplementing the work already done
BY the Tag-day Committee and the
Dance Committee, the convassers for
st. GATHERINGS today began their
house-to-houso tour Of the city.
cts like most soliciting games, a

They realize then that it's plan to
do something for wounded soldiers and

large; others disappointingly small,
but the general average has been
encouraging.
And while the canvassers are "carry-
ing on" commercially in all parts of
the city, up at headquarters the
Country Fair Committee is completing
its plans for the most unique fete
ever held in Schend' s Park or any
other amusement center in Kenosha OF
