Instead he prevailed upon the Pro-
gressive party to make Charles
Evans Hughes, the Republican can
didate, its own choice. He cam
paigned for Mr.. Hughes. With the
reelection of Mr.. Wilson and Am
erica's entry into the world war
soon after, Roosevelt Immediately
supported the president and bitter
ly assailed the pro-Germans, paci-
fists and other type of men who at
tempted to delay speeding up the
war
With the United States a bellig-
erent, Roosevelt endeavored to OBJ
tain the consent of the war depart
ment to establish an army division
which he was anxious to take to
France. This division was to have
included many of the Rough Rid
ers who were his associates in the
campaign in Cuba, and younger
men of the same strenuous habits.
The necessary permission for the
formation of such a force was not
forthcoming even though Roose-
welt expressed willingness to ac-
company it as a subordinate Off
Ger.
One of Roosevelt's participa-
tons in public affairs took him to
Washington in January, 1918, when
he conferred with United States
Senator George Z. Chamberlain of
Oregon and other members of con-
gress who were critical of the ad-
ministration's methods of prose-
cutting the war. Roosevelt on this
occasion announced his support of
the proposal that war cabinet be
organized to take over the conduct
of the war.
Denied the privilege of fighting
for his flag, Theodore Roosevelt's
interest was centered on his fam
ily's participation in the war. His
four sons and his son-inlaw. DR..
Derby, carried out prediction
made by the former president be-
fore the United States took up arms
that If war came they would en-
ter service. Theodore, Jr.. became
a major and Archibald a captain,
both in France: Quentin became an
aviator in the American army and
was later killed in action and Dr.
Derby the medical service, also
in France. Kermit, failing to pass
a physical examination which would
admit him to the United States ar
my, received a commission in the
British army and was soon in Mes
opotamia.

In the later years of his life two

REQUEST SINGS
STILL Be HELD


Keep up cenmunfty singing, Is
the plea Of the national government
authorities. The patriotic work
which lies In the immediate future
warrants the continuance Of such
affairs.
The appended statement received
~ .As local state council Of defense
authorities - the national coun-
e1l OF defense, exp.-> ~4ro reasons
for the governme request:
Community singing can be made
one Of the most potent factors in
the Americanization and the assim-
jlation of the foreign born Even
without modification to meet this
special problem, it brings together
people of all classes and nationali-
ties to express their common aims
and Royalties, their sentiments of
liberty and patriotism in united
voice
Community singing will hold the
people together in sense of COM
munity fellowship and bring them
10 meetings where community mat
ters can be discussed and messages
from the state and nation an
nounced
above all, community singing
serves to maintain in the people
that morale, that patriotic and civic
interest and desire to serve, which
is essential to the execution of the
great programs Of popular cOOpera-
ton still before US, and which is
peculiarly difficult TO maintain now
that the incentive of active warfare
has suddenly been removed.
"A new and large Liberty loan,
Tremendous food program, the
great problems involved in demo-
bilization, still lie before the Amer
scan people. Community singing
can contribute much To the moral
forces upon which success in these
common undertakings depends.
T Community singing IS also of
permanent value. 1t fills a great
need in our national Iife-a need
for an intelligent, healthy means of
self-expression and group recrea-
ton Community singing should,
therefore, be looked upon not only
as an emergency matter, but as a
permanent institution Where in
any individual state it is no longer
possible for the state council of de-
tense and the state division of the
woman's committee to carry on the
work, the organization should be
placed upon some permanent basis.
plans in this regard should be
made now so that the present work

build up and strengthen the perma-
nent organization The following
alternatives for the ultimate dispo-
sition of community singing will
undoubtedly present themselves to
you:
ITO transfer the community sing
ing organization to permanent
state executive department, such as
Iae department OF education
ITO transfer it 10 some existing
voluntary organization such as the
Federation of Musical Clubs.
ITO perpetuate it as new vol
untary association under leadership
Of the state musical director.
(which of these ultimate alterna-
lives should be adopted in any sin
gle state will depend upon local
conditions. In case it is found in
advisable to transfer the work to a
permanent state executive depart
snent, it will depend largely upon
the calibre and interest of the indi-
yiduals who constitute the present
organization or who head the va
rious private organizations to which
the work might be assigned

ARSENALLABOR
CASE TAKEN UP
Congressman W. J. Graham Hs4d-
ing Conference With seed
tary Of War Today.

United States Congressman W. J.
Graham will take up the Rock Is
land arsenal situation today with
Secretary OF War Newton Baker re
garding the contemplated closing Of
the harness department. which &C
ton would affect several other de-
partments indirectly with the re-
suit that the positions of some thir-
teen hundred worhmen would be
Jeopardized. This information is
contained in a telegram received by
Mayor William McConochie.
1t is claimed that under present
plans of the war department work
in the harness department will be
abandoned after Feb. 1. Worlmen
at the arsenal have cOntended that
there are numerous other articles
that could be manufactured in the
department that have no bearing on
war material, and that this work
could be done cheaper at the arfe-
nal than when manufactured by pfle.
yate corporations and that this pro
cedure would allow many Of the
workmen to hold their positions.
Some time ago the Rock Island
city commissioners adopted a reso-
luton requesting that the war de-
partment take the matter under
careful consideration before It was
finally decided TO close the harness
shop.
Copies Of the resolution were sent
to Secretary OF War Baker. United
States Senators James Hamilton
Lewis and L. Y. Sherman and Con
gresham Graham
Senator Lewis notified the mayor
some time ago that he had received
the resolution and was doing all
in his power in the situation.

COURT DISTRICT TO BE
CHANGED

According to a law passed at the
last session of the legislature the 18th
judicial district consisting Of the
counties Of Mckenzie, Williams and
Mountrail, will be known after July
/, as the 5th judicial district and
will be composed, in addition to the
aforementioned counties, of the coun-
ties of Divide, Burke and Ward.
There will be two judges in the dis
trict, Frank E. Fisk of Williston and
X. E. Leighton of Minot. Judge Fisk
being the longest in continued ser
vice will be the presiding judge. The
new law provides that the business
of the court may be divided between
the judges and otherwise regulated
as the supreme court shall direct.
The terms of court and the loca-
tion of the judges chambers will be
fixed by order of the supreme court
in such manner that the judges in
each judicial district may have a
circuit within their district and so
that no Judge shall hold two con-
secutive jury terms of court in any
county. .-.

TREES FOR A GROVE

In selecting trees for grove it is
important to choose varieties that
will grow rapidly and make abun-
dant shade 50 as to shade the ground
and smother the weeds without cul-
tivation. This is the recommendation
by C. w. Waldron Of the North Da-
kota Agricultural College. He states
that the ordinary graw or white will
low will accomplish this in the short
est time, and that it should be plant
ed alone as other trees do not do well
when mixed with the willow.

The ash makes an excellent grove
tree. 1t will also do well in light
dry soil on which willow and some
other trees are not adapted. The
boxelder is valuable in grove plant
ing as nurse tree for such as ash,
j. e., plant boxeldes, and ash alter
mating in the row. The b0xelder
makes dense shade in short time,
when the ash need the space cut out

plenty Of room to develop They

SOME ESSENTIALS IN SHEEP

Sheep raising does not require ex.
pensive equipment or heavy labor
but does require study and contin.
uous attention.
The beginner may acquire exper-
fence with less than 20 ewes, but for
economy Of time and fencing, and to
assure proper care, flocks Of 80 or
more ewes are better.
In most cases lambs are most prof
liable if made ready for market at
about months, weighing IS to rs
pounds.
Unless the flock has a very large
territory to range over it is neces.
sary to make divisions of the pasture
or to use seeded forage crops. This
permits the change of grazing ground
necessary to insure the health and
thrift of the lambs.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For WASHING Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what Won
wash it with. 'o~
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
ned cocoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
Of rich. creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves it
fine and silky. bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Adv.
