Old Clothes Drive
Now On In City

A request has come from the North
ern Division Headquarters OF the
American Red Cross that each Chap
ter put through what is called an
Old Clothes Drive. The object of
this drive is to supply the needy in
all liberated countries of Europe with
the necessary articles of clothing
such as the people of this country
can provide. At this time of the year
when the spring houseeleaning is at
hand, there will undoubtedly be found
in almost every home quantity OF
old clothing that the children have
outgrown or that the older members
of the family have discarded but
which could we'll be repaired and used
by the destitute people in France,
Belgium, Roumania, Greece, Italy,
Macedonia, and Syria. Therefore,
the request comes to you that on
April 4th and 5th you bring or send
to the Armory any articles Of the
kind that you can spare. A commit
tee will be there to receive them,
pack them and ship them out. 1t is
very desirable that Williams County
should maintain it's "Over the Top"
record in this drive as it has done
in every other call that has come to
it. Who will bring in the first big
bundle?

Local Young Men
Manufacture Lamps

Clarence Exams, Frank Evans, and
Helmor Sawyer local young men have
entered the manufacturing of art
lamps on quite an extensive scale.
Working during spare time for the
past month or so they have turned
out some beautiful specimens Of il
brary and floor lamps. These lamps
are trimmed and finished in variety
of shades and the designs are very
neat. The workmanship is first class
and on close inspection one could not
tell but what they had been noanufac-
tured in large and fully equipped
factory.
Many of the lamps are on display
this week in the show window of
kather's Drug store and are offered
for sale at very reasonable prices by
the makers.
If their new venture proves sue
cessful they expect to enter into the
manufacturing business more c.ten-
sively and perhops Williston may have
another profitable industry added to
its list.

HIS CITIZENSHIP IS
CANCELLED BY. JUDGE
kNUTE LEON OF BENSON COUN-
TY DEBARRED FROM BECOM-
ING CITIZEN

Devils Lake, N. D.-Judge Buttz
has granted an order to S. c. ker-
berg, United States naturalization ex-
aminer from St. Paul, cancelling the
declaration of intention to become
citizen of the United States, made
June 7, 1916, at Minnewaukan, by
Knute Sigfrid Leon. The order for
ever debars Leon from becoming a
citizen of this country.
When Leon returned his question
naire to the Benson county draft
board, he claimed exemption from
military service on the ground that
he was not full citizen. His claim
was overruled and he appeared to
the district board at Bismarck, which
likewise held him for military serv-
ice and he was inducted into the
army. He then took the matter up
with the minister of Norway, claim
ing to that official that notwithstand-
ing his declaration of intention to
become a citizen here he would not
serve in the United States army, but
would return to Norway and enter
the military establishment of that
country if Norway so desired.
From petitions and afidavits sign
ed by Leon and presented by the
minister of Norway to the United
States to Frank l.. Polk, assistant
secretary of state at Washington, -.
c., it appears that Leon came from
Bergen, Norway, to Sheyenne, N. d.,
March /, 1915 and on June Z, 1916,
before the clerk of the Benson coun-
ty district court, declared his inten..
ton to become a citizen of the Unit
ed States.
At the naturalization hearings dur
ing the war period, Judge Buttz re-
peatedly stated from the bench that
persons who have claimed exemptions
from military service solely on
grounds of citizenship. would not in
the future be admitted to citizen
ship by him. The government is now
taking the same position through it's
naturalization bureau.

No More Shocking
Trouble For Farmers

Mr.. w. H. Bangs local implement
! dealer has for sale a shocking ma
chine which can be attached to the
side of the binder and will do all the
shocking as the binder cuts the
grain. This machine is made by one
of our National implement concerns
and has been on the market for sew
eral years and has proven success
full.
Mr.. Bangs claims that with this
new machine one man and four hors--
es can cut and shock from Is to 20
acres per day and the farmer needs;
have no worry about obtaining la
Dor. AS the bundles are shocked
the machine ties string around the
shock which holds it uniform and pre-
vents it from falling over or being
spread apart. "The price of the
twine used will amount to about the.
same amount required to board one
man." said Mr.. Bangs, ''and the.
amount saved can be applied upon
the machine which can be paid for
in labor saving in very short period"
Many of these machines have been
in use in the state for the past three
years but none have ever been used
in this territory. Mr.. Bangs hopes
to be able to secure some of them
this year so they may be given
trial here.

FIRES OFFICERS OF
POSTAL COMPANY
TAKES FULL CONTROL OF AZ
FAIRS OF THE TELEGRAPH
CORPORATIONS

Washington, March o. Clarence
H. Mackay, president of the postal
Telegraph and Cable company. was
removed today by Postmaster Gener-
al Burleson. ..
The postmaster general issued an
order relieving, besides Mr. Mackay,
w. w. Cook, general counsel Wal
liam S. Deegan, secretary, and the
board of trustees or directors and
the owners of the Mackay companies
operating the Postal systems from
all duties appertaining to the con-
troll and operation of service under
governmental control.
A. F. Adams, president of the
Kansas City Home Telephone COM
pany, and member of the general
telegraph and telephone operating
master general to supersede the
Postal officers in the management Of
the systems. Mr.. Adams presented
the order today to Mr.. Deegan and
immediately took over control.
Mr.. Mackay was ont in the office
at the time.
An announcement by the postof-
fee department says that the order
removing Messrs. Mackay, Cook and
Deegan was "made necessary by the
fact that since the postoffice depart
ment refused to grant the company
the compensation asked for by them.
these officials have refused or failed
to follow out the instructions of the
department in the management OF
the properties and failed to put in
TO operation promptly the wage
schedule and the 8-hour day, and in
various ways endeavored to embar-
rass and discredit the government
operation Of the wires.
"The reason for the refusal 'df the
department to grant the compensa-
ton asked for was that the sworn
statement submitted to the interstate
commerce commission in behalf Of
the company placed the net income
for 1917 at S117,264, while the sworn
statements they made to the wire
control board as a basis for comyen-
sation placed the net income for the
year at $4,4S5, 5,593.34-"
