the Northern Pacific:
$50 often during the war and the
the German occupation of our country,
l said to you and the soldiers of the

were ready to give their lives for the
triumph of our common cause, for
Justice and Christian civilization.
e"On that point l want to say to
you, my gratitude, but especially

if Belgium were saved from starva-
ton. if the lives of the women and
children were spared, that we would
be indebted to you and that magnifi-
cent institution for the relief of Bel.
GUM presided over 1iby Mr.. Hoover.

UNUSUALDI DISPLAY
OF WAR TROPHIES
ATWEBB WINDOWS
Capt. l. M. Capper Brings Back
Many Articles With His
tories Attached

One of the most interesting exhibit
tions of German war trophies and
other relics of the European battle
fields is being displayed in one of the
Webb Bros. windows by Capt. I. M.
Capper who was. Y. M. c.. A. secre-
tary with the American army in
France.
This display has many trophies
very seldom seen, even by men who
served in France for long periods and
the articles were obtained by Capt.
Capper under all sorts of conditions
and many of them have interesting
histories attached to them.
Included in the exhibition is Ger
man gas mask which is so different
from that used by the soldiers in the
allied armies. A pair of aviators un-
breakable glass goggles with special
leather case to carry them and two
German helmets are displayed.
Probably the most unusual trophies
exhibited are number of finely made
medals which it is said are only
awarded to the German nobility on ex-
ceptional occasions. These medals are
of enamel cleverly decorated and many
of them are heavily filled with gold.
One medal was evidently presented in
connection with some event relating to
the Turkish empire.
Several automatic Luger pistols
and part of a German machine gun
are on view. A number of German,
English, French and other foreign
coins are displayed, including a num-
Der of very scarce gold ones which
those governments withdrew from cir
culation early in the war.

DRAKE ENJOYING

Progressive Little City Becomes
Prey for Get Rich Quick
Schemes of All Sorts

Drake, N. D., Sept 12.-Ever since
Drake has become world famous as
the home of the First State Owned
Flour MILL" with the further notoriety
of having paid $4,000 of it's money
in exchange for state bonds, the town
has been delayed with stock and
bond statesmen, newspaper promoters
and other types of aims seekers.
For the fellow whose slogan is
Find your sucker, play your sucker,
land your sucker, and then beat It,
Drake is a terminal from which to-
work the game. The farmers in the
vicinity Of this money mad metropolis
find that their partnership with Ma
ture is being much interfered with
by these migratory birds, who for the
time being gathered in promissory
notes, post dated checks and Liberty
Bonds.
Equity Stock Sold
For several weeks, two real live
wires have been selling stock in the
Equity packing plant. These high
pressure artists are headquartered
here and are cleaning up what's left
of cash, collateral and anything else
that may be negotiated. They leave
town every morning and return after
milking time. Liberty Bonds are
strong prey for these fellows,-they
take them at par in exchange tor
stock in Dakota's big butchering es-
tablishment.
The Nonparticipating newspaper pro-
moters are also here. brakes only

the county seat doesn't spread the

however, that the newspaper stock is
