MEET TONIGHT
Elks Will Try to Wind Up
Drive Tuesday; Will Re-
port on Progress.

A final report on all work lone In
the Salvation Army campaign to date
will be made at the meeting of all
committees to be held tonight in the
| Elks club rooms. to which every COM
mittee member and all others inter-
ested in the Army work have been in
vited. AS the total quota is not as yet
tensive drive Tomorrow when. the men
hope to clear up the work entirely.
Subscriptions TOO Few.
It is estimated that but one-fourth
of the number that subscribed to the
War Camp Community. Service fund
have given to the Salvation Army
campaign. Many more subscriptions,
both large and small, are needed at
once if the drive is to be a success,
committeeman stated.
Reports from other points in the
county indicate that the campaign is
making fine Roadway at all points.
Boosters of Larimore staged a cele-
bration on Saturday night, when Rev.
Mr.. Wallace of Larimore and Captain
II. Vcach of the Grand Forks corps,
spoke in the public square on the
work of the army. A table was placed
nearby at which subscriptions were
taken. and $500 was collected here
after the meeting. Mr.. Wallace praised
the work Of the Army overseas, calling
on the popularity among the dough-
boys OF the Salvation Army lassies.
Captain Veach in a brief address told
how the none raised in the campaign
would be used.
Larin,ore ut $500 Mark.
Other Larimore. men raised $50 for
the fund when they passed a tub
around town. With what had already
been raised. the total at that city was
at the $500 mark when last reports
were made. with prospects of clean
ing up by tonight. Their quota is ST.
900.
Other points in the county are
meeting with success, although but
n town, Arvilla, has as yet made it's
allotment. Harvesting is interfering
with the work in most places and all
have been granted a few days extra
in which to make their quotas.

BARBER POLE NEAR
FREDERICK WRECKED
BY A BACKING A

Peter Lawrence Mork, bookkeeper
at the Dacotah hotel, wrecked the
barber pole at the corner of Alpha
and Third, lear the Frederick hotel,
this morning when he was backing a
Studebaker automobile and stepped
on the accelerator instead of the brake
and got surprising results.
The a was parked nea the side
entrance to the Dacotah hotel and
Mork, being in something of a hurry,
backed the car to Third street and
turned toward the Frederick to square
up for driving down Third. When he
decided to stop the car he put his foot
or the gas" intending to reach the
brake. AS a result the car made a
sudden leap backward and demolished
the striped barber pole.
Mork is glad the pole was there, he
declares, for if it hadn't been he
might have backed straight through
the bay window into the lobby of the
hotel.

ASK CONTROL
OVER PACKERS
No Attack on Private Profits
Declares Kenyon Address
ing Committee.

Washington. Aug. 1s.-Before the
senate agricultural committee today
the problems Of packers, their alleged
monopoly of preparing and distribut-
ing. meats and their alleged policy of
expanding their business enterprises
to the point of controlling the supply
of other foods, came up for an in
vestigation in the hearing on the
Kenyon bill to extend federal control
owe the. packing industry.
Senator Gronna, committee chair
man, prefaced the proceedings with a
brief statement of conditions which he
said were leading to a general de-
mand for limitation of corporate
profits. So did Senator Kenyon.
More Control.
''This is a radical bill, with teeth in
1t, which deserves the most careful
scrutiny, but it is not a government
ownership bill" said Senator Kenyon.
1T provides for a new method Of
corporate control in this country. 1t
suggests the licensing of packers, the
enforcement from them Of stockyards
ownership and the elimination of
their control of refrigerator cars.
"Meat packing is no longer a pri-
vate business. If the monopoly has
grown to the degree we understand it
has, it is indefensible and intolerable.
There may be a little efficiency grow
ing out of it, but that is temporary.
I'VE are not engaged in an attack
on private profits, though the propa-
ganda of the packers has frightened
business since this bill came up, and
may have frightened congress u of
the attempt to legislate. We are not
trying to injure business nor stop rea-
sonable profits, but excess profits to-
day are reasonable profits"

County Auditor Ward Washburn
has been summoned to appear IN
Cleveland on Friday of this week to
attend a meeting of the county au-
ditors from all the northern counties
in the state for the purpose OF a
further discussion Of the question OF
a reappraisal of property next spring.
A preliminary meeting was held In
the Sixth City about two months ago,
at which time majority of the coun-
ty officials present, appeared IN favor
of the proposition.
The proposition for Community
Center, with considerable buildings Of
great ability, is very much alive at
this time. Friends of the proposition
are springing up daily, and it is
growing rapidly in the hearts and
minds of Medinaites at the present
time. Just because there is little pub
lie agitation at this time does not
mean that the proposition is mort
bund; simply that plans are being
worked out that will be given the Me-
dina public for approved little later.
The executive committee of the
New Community club will meet
some evening this week to name the
several committees for the work of
the organization, which it is planned
to carry forward at this time. A
meeting of all members of the Or
ganization will be held Monday even
ing, at the Library-also all citizens
who wish to become members will be
made welcome. At that time there
will be an announcement of these sew
eral committees, and instruction given
as to the work. Among other things
consideration will be given to the
proposition of a community Christ
mas.

STILL DRILLING WELLS
NEAR MEDINA VILLAGE

The second rig has been moved
from the Koons farm to the r. Q.
Bowman place, on the Weymouth
road, where an effort will be made to
find oil.
The gas we'll on the Thos. Huffman
farm is down about 1850 feet, with
certain delays from breaking ma
chinery, etc.
The oil we'll being drilled in on the
Thos. Huffman farm. in an effort to
tap the oil sand that gave a liberal
flow when passing through it in
search of gas, is down about $50 feet
and but for delays would have been
drilled in about Thursday.
The first we'll drilled in on the Bert
Huffman farm was a disappointment
as the drillers had hoped to tap the
pool on the Thos. Huffman farm, and
in fact, hit a dry hole.

ENJOYS SHORT FURLOUGH
AT HIS OLD HOME HERE

Roy E. Hoddinott, one of Uncle
Sans active marines, is home on a
short furlough, guest of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Hoddinott, on S.
East street. The young man arrived
home in time for Thanksgiving.
Young Hoddinott has been sta
toned, along with other U. S. forces,
in and about San Domingo, West In
dia Islands. There are quite num-
ber of boats and many marines and
soldiers in these waters, as the U. S.
has established a sort of protectorate
over this part of the New World.
The worst thing that our boys in
this part of the world have had to
contend with has been the Spanish
Flu and fevers. Some of the boys
were very sick and not a few re-
cuperated very slowly. Barring these
drawbacks the men in the West Indies
have enjoyed the service, and regard
less of the things they have had to
contend with they have made good
record for themselves and led others
to give due respect to Uncle Sans
army and navy.

their coal supply according to reports
received on Monday of this week. The
company has been fortunate so far in
obtaining car of coal every day or
so which manages to supply sufficient
heat to keep the machinery under full
steam pressure. In case of a shut
down, should the worst come to the
worst, the transportation system will
be discontinued-only sthe baggage
and milk trains being kept on. 1t was
stated that even though train service
is interrupted Medina village will re-
ceive sufficient juice to maintain her
electric lights.
An interruption in service, how
ever, is not looked for at present, and
it is thought that should the company
be unable to get a proper amount of
coal, an appeal to the state public
utilities commission. would result in
tbs body taking direct action to fur
nish fuel.
