Relief DRIVE NOW
on N .W|LL|sT0N
MASS MEETING HELD SUNDAY
EVENING At ARMORY-$2,ooo
ASKED FROM WILLIAMS co.

A drive for funds for the relief of
the sufferers of the Near East is now
on through the United States and Will
liams county has been called upon to
raise $4,000 for this worthy cause.
Thousands of unfortunate people in
the Holy Land are in need Of help
and they are looking to the United
States as the Good Samaritan.
Last Sunday evening a we'll at
tended mass meeting was held at the
Armory at which DR.. Zidan pastor
of the Syrian church at Brooklyn, N.
Y, gave very interesting talk on
the conditions in that country.
DIR. Zidan who has been in this
country for seventeen years is a ma
tive of Syria and has relatives living
in that country at the present time.
In his talk he said, "the people of
Syria who have relatives in this coun-
try will be taken care of by their
relatives here but there are thous-
ands of orphans and people who have
no relatives here who are sorely in
need of help. Over one half of the
Syrian and Armenians there have
died during the period of the war and
they are now dying at the rate of
1000 per day for want of food"
Following DR.. Zidan's talk Gordon
Smith Of Fargo, N. D., and State
Chairman Of this relief drive gave a
short and Impressive appeal to the
people for help in this work. He stat
ed that, "all money raised would be
sent direct to those in need of it as
the expenses of the drive are being
met by men of wealth in this coun-
try"
Music was furnished during the
evening by Onstad's Orchestra and a
solo was rendered by c. E. Blume and
Miss Patterson.
A four-minute talk was also given
by Mr.. Blume on behalf of the VIC
ory Loan which starts soon.

IRRIGATION IS NOW CERTAIN As
CONTRACT HAS BEEN APPROVED
SECRETARY INTERIOR APPROVES CONTRACT OF
IRRIGATION DISTRICT AND WATER WILL FLOW
DITCHES SUMMER

We announced last week that Pro-
ject Manager Arthur of the Iriga-
tion District received wire from
The Secretary of the Interior aprov-
ing the contract submitted to him by
the Williston District.
This announcement comes after a
long and tedious lot of work by those
interested to secure the resumption
of irrigation under this project. In
the first place this project started as
a Water Users Association. The run
ming under this system did not meet
with much favor with the secretary
of the interior who urged that the
project be put on better business
basis. After the new irrigation law
passed by the state legislature in 1917
members Of this association got busy
and succeeded in getting this project
reorganized into a district in COM
pliance with the new law.
In speaking of the provisions Of
the contract just approved Project
Manager Arthur says:
Provisions of the Contract
"The contract which the Secretary
has approved provides for irrigation
for an indefinite period or so long as
the conditions of the contract are
complied with. The distinctive fea-
lures, however, are operation on a
graduated scale of costs for a period
of five years, the postponment of con-
struction charges until the sixth;
year, the fixing of construction cost
at $38.OO per acre, and the applica-
ton of the profit on the commercial
power contract, if any, to the reduc-
tion of operation and maintenance
charges.
Certainly these are very favorable
terms and, so far as we know, all that
the people have asked. The contract
fixes responsibility and obligation, in
that operation and maintenance
charges are assessed against the land
as municipal property is assessed for
improvements and assessments are
collected through the County Treas
urer's office.
The preparatory work was tenn
porarily halted when a telegram was
received March % that the Secre-
tary had disapproved the contract

BLIND MAN GETS An D
ORDER FOR BR00MS

C. D. Kaufman local blind man,
and n..nufacturer of high class
'btooms received his first large or
der from out-of-to for his product
this week. The order was received
from the Consumers Stores Co., for
one of their nearby stores and along
with the order came a letter stating
that they would probably be able to
handle large quantities in the near
future. That means that he will have
to supply twenty-five stores and by
the end of the year nearly fifty stores
as they stated that they expected to
open up more stores this spring.
Mr.. Kaufman expects to induce
many of the local farmers to raise
broom corn this summer and have
enough of broom corn this fall to
keep bis factory running through the
winter.

EVENTS AND RETURNED SOL.
DIERS DAY-RACES

At a meeting of the Wiliston In
dustrial Fair Association held last
Saturday it was decided to set aside
June 20 and 21 as two entertainment
days for the returned soldiers and
the people of Williams county.
On the goth. horse races will be
staged at the Fair Grounds and some
very fast horses will be here to take
part in this event. The reason for
setting the date for this time was the
fact that so many good horses could
be secured on this date. This day
will also be Old Settlers Day and it
is expected that all Of the old set
tiers in this part of the country will
hold reunion here at that time.
The 21st. will be Returned Sol
dier's Day and some very interesting
events are being arranged by the
committees in charge for this day.
Fast Auto races will take place at the
Fair Grounds to which many entries
are expected.
Those who have been selected to
serve on the committees fro this
event are as follows: Advertising,

made by the Tax Commission and is
for four years.
Under this law the Tax Supervisor
will really be the head of the tax as
sessing work and he will endeavor to !,
see that all assessments are rs near
right as possible, and that all tax
able property is taxed.
The appointment of Mr.. Aaen to
this position is in our opinion very
good one. With his experience as
county auditor he is better qualified
to handle this work than any man in
the county and every property owner
is assured "Square Deal" on as
sessments as long as Mr.. Aaen is at
the head of this very important work

prize pictures, which will go to the
rooms whose pupils sell the most
tickets up to April %, when the COM

store. Until after school hours on
April % the pupils will be the only
persons selling tickets. After school
hours on that day tickets will be
placed in the hands of others. The
high school will not compete, but will
assist in other ways.
Teachers and children have taken
hold in an encouraging manner. If
the people of the city buy tickets
freely, sufficient funds ought to be
raised to enable a number Of good
pictures to be bought for the schools.
There is at present dearth of good
pictures in the schools.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Why is it that the matchless cathe-
drals of France, built hundreds of
years ago, still stand to receive the
hushed and wondering Yankee pill
grims, shaming by their strength and
stately beauty the weaker and more
tawdry structures of our own day and
generation? Is it because the care
and toll and love, not of few years
but of centuries, went into their build
ing?
The men who laid first stones of the
shell-torn marvel at Reims, the hilltop
cathedral at Bourges, the imperisha-
BILE Notre Dame at Paris did not live
to see those temples completed, knew
that it would never be their lot to see
them completed. Preposterously ide-
alictic and impractical, they worked
with their eyes ON the future. Their
work was good because it was not
done for themselves. They builded
for the Lord.
Now. before the peoples of the world
are laid the architects plans for a
great mansion, and soon work will be-
gin on the foundations If indiffer-
ent to the needs of future generations

venience and short-sighted comfort of

CHATTER OF WILHELM

The Beast of Berlin has been inter-
viewed. The arch-fiend of the age
has given vent to his feelings. The
baby killer has whined out his "tear-
starting" appeal to the world The
master criminal is attempting to en-
act the role of the injured innocent
all the while trying to pass the
''buck" to the other fellow. He is
unrepentent He denies that he
brought on the war. He charges
Russia with being responsible for
the transformation of peaceful world
into slaughter pen. He laughs at the
idea of being put on trial; if he thought
he was to be arraigned he would des-
troy himself because such an ordeal
would be ssinsufferable unidentified. p
IL that be his thought let the trial pro
coed. Do you think the fellow would
make way with himself? He is too
yellow; too cowardly. The whimper-
ing dog would whine his way into
court and turn states evidence in the
hope that by SO doing he could obtain
an immunity bath.
At this late day the former kaiser
admits that the sinking of the Lusi-
tania was mistake but blames the
British blockade. However, it will be
recalled that he did not stay the cele-
brations in Germany over the torpedo
ing of the Lusitania and the murder
of innocent women and children nor
did he at that time cry out that mis-
take had been made. He denies the
atrocities committed by his soldiers,
and shows no regret for the violation
of Belgium neutrality. He wonders
why he is the subject of so much cri-
ticism. The world has his measure
in criminality and if the kaiser had
his just dues he long ago would
be hanging higher than Hannah. The
once Hun emperor deplores the exc
cution of Edith Cavell, which he saws
was carried out by drunken gener-
al. He says he later ordered that no
woman be shot without his personal
sanction. Here again the former head
of the German government shows the
craven that he is when he tries to
shift the responsibility Of cold-blood-
ed murder to the shoulder of sdrun-
ken officer" In this is again heard
the whine of the whipped dog. Out
upon his kind of riff-raff. He is as
bad as a bolshevik.
One of the grotesque feature Of the
kaiser's interview is his claim to
great" love for England. He did
