strike has been ordered throughout
the United States. And this, too, not
withstanding that in other fielTs there
were in force contracts which were
negotiated independently of the cen

1T is not for the defendants to de-

however, that the defendants acted il

SOLDIER BAND.
PLAYS TONIGHT
Million Dollar Band Gave
Splendid Concert in Audi
> forum This Afternoon.

Arriving in the city this noon, the
Million Dollar band, under the direc-
ton Of Harold Bachman, gave its pre-
liminary concert this afternoon, be-
ginning at 3:15 o'clock in the city
auditorium. The main concert will
be given this evening and prospects
are for one Of the biggest musical hits
that the city has known.
The concert this evening will begin
promptly at 8:15 o'clock and will also
be given in the city, auditorium,
where thirty-f1ve bandmen will give
a choice selection Of popular and
jazzy numbers, under the inspiration
of their leader, Harold Bachman. The
fame of the band has gone through
France, and has followed it to its W
country, and state. Everywhere in
the state the organization is receiving
the most enthusiastic support and is
giving in return an excellent concert.
For fifteen months in France the
band worked with the 116th engi-
ond"" North Dakota national guards,
and gained the applause and appreci-
alton of commanding officers At the
front. Their copcerts in the leave
areas" perhaps made them the most
popular, where they entertained the
soldiers out of the trenches for a ten
day furlough. They put pep and vim
into the war-tired men, and this same
spirit they have carried. back with
them into their home state.
Director Bachman is a genius with
much of the Ct Of the organiza-
ton. The band appears in Grand
Forks today for the first time on its
first state tour.

three weeks ago, following the dis

Toscas. then arose and asked hat his
client be released on parole, pleading
eXtenuating circumstances for the Of
Tense and presenting a petition signed
by several business men asking that
the parole be granted. F.
Judge Cooley in reply pointed out
that the ofenses in question appeared
to have extended. over a considerable
period Of time and said that in his
opinion it would be against the inter-
ests Of justice and public policy to
grant the parole. He then Instructed
Toscas to stand up to receive sentence.
~ Changes Plea.
At this point, however, Mr.. O'Con-
nor interposed, saying that if Toscas
would not be paroled he would with
draw the plea of guilty and ask that
he be remanded to the justice court
for q preliminary hearing.
The latter request was denied by
Judge Cooley, who pointed out that
the case was now in the district court
and could not be remanded in the
manner asked by Mr.. O'Connor. He
stated, however, that the accused had
a right to. change his plea at any time
before sentence was pronounced.
MI. O'Connor thereupon announced
that a plea Of not guilty would be
entered in place Of the previous plea
o S"guilty." The not guilty" plea
was thereupon entered by the court
and Tbscas was held to the next jury
session.
Toscas' bail was fxed at $500,
which. was furnished, and he was re-
leased to await trial.

FIFTY SHEEP
GIVEN CLUBS
Rye Township Roads Are
In Excellent Con-
dition.

County Agent Rex Willard has re-
turned from Larimore where he fin
ished distributing f~ sheep to mem
bers of the Boys and Girls club OF
Grand Forks county. Mr.. Willard re-
ports roads as very rough following
recent rains.
The sheep were given to club mem
bers in Gilby. Orr Mekanna. North
wood, Reynolds, Grand Forks. EN-
erado and Arvilla. Two sheep were
given for each place.
Mr.. Willard Travelled about in nine
townships Friday and found that
roads had been dragged in but one
township. The Rye township roads
have been dragged and leveled and
are reported in fine condition. Many
roads in other townships are in very
poor shape. The fact that the. roads
have not been kept up since the rain
is attributed to the necessity of using
practically all available labor on the
farms for seeding and other urgent
farm work.
