MANY VETERANS
!. GET POSITIONS
1900 Service Men Sc
cure Employment in
This District.

Employment Agent F.. b. Hubbard
has cards on file Of Some $500 re-
turned soldiers, sailors and marines
who have secured employment in this
section Of the valley since returning
from service. About 1.4OO Of the men
have filed cards with the agent, stat
ing that they secured work and about
100 have been placed throughout the
country by Mr.. Hubbard.
The men have found positions of
various kinds in the four counties that
comprise the local employment dis
trict. The counties are Grand Forks,
Nelson, Pembina. Walsh and Cavalier.
Most of the men have returned to
their old positions or to the same line
of work pursued prior to enlistment,
according to Mr.. Hubbard.
1t is found that most men whose
old positions have been held for them
are willing and ready to return to
their old work. Employers state that
the men as a whole are better men
than before entering the service.
Want New Work.
A higher percentage of overseas
men must find new work than other
discharged soldiers and sailors, ae-
cording to DR.. P. L.. Prentis, federal
director of the United States employ
IIl6Nt SeTVlCe. LII. fTelLlS ueCldTeS lc
has been informed by Edward Easton,
national superintendent of the 'bu-
reaus for soldiers and sailors Of the
United States employment service,
that the service was receiving from
1000 to 10000 Job cards a day when
the troops were returning in large
numbers.
while between 25 and 80 per cent
of the men held in this country and
discharged from service, had to find
new work through our service, the
average of overseas troops asking Tor
new jobs runs from As to SO per
cent" explains DR.. Prentis. There
are many factors in explaining the
difference. chief of which is thai the
overseas men have been away from
civilian life for a longer period and
have found difficulty in getting in
communication with their former en-
rloyers." f
Local mon returning from service
are on the whole endeavoring to re-
engage in their old lines Of employ
ment. says Mr.. Hubbard. Some of
the overseas men are anxious to secure
new employment. however. The
stability of the majority of men re-
turning to this section is accounted
for by the reason that large numbers
of the men have been on farms all
their lives and plan on following farm
work as a life vocation.

The width Of the paving varies
from 20 to 80 feet. The only street
which, is to have the 80 foot paving
is Dakota avenue from the alley be-
tween Third and Fourth streets to

There is no form of entertainment
these sultry days that can approach

quickly. The merry-makers were
quite willing to rest from play to en-
joy the delicious ice cream. Mrs. T.
H. Thomson, who was responsible for
this happy occasion, came in for gen
erous expression of appreciation
from each little lady present.

TO WANT ONLY MONEY.

Several Dawson homes have been
entered the past few days by thieves
evidently in search of money.
In the absence of Mrs. j. W. Woo

through a back window after break
ing the glass, and went through all
the rooms, but nothing has been miss
ed except a pistol.
Judge j A. Laing's residence was
entered by the cutting of a gauze
door, the family being out of the
city. With a policeman Mr.. j. d.
Laing made a thorough investigation,
but could find no trace of any thing
having been carried off.
While absent from their residence
down town one day last week Mr..
R. E. Bells home was gone through
by some unknown party and things
scattered about Nothing was missed
but some money which had been left
on the dresser.
Recently some one cut the screen
door at the home of Mr.. c. A. Har-
ris and ransacked the trunks and
dressers in the hope of finding mon
ey, it is supposed, as nothing was
missed.

SUGAR HAS REACHED Is
CENTS IN LOCAL MARKET
Commodity Still Scarce and Price
Takes Sharp Boost.

According to information given
by retail merchants there is slight
improvement in the sugar situation.
That the commodity is still scarce
and hard to obtain was the statement
made by all retailers.
The price of sugar has advanced
to Is cents per pound in the local
market. This is an advance of APP
proximately so per cent. over the
former price of 10 cents.
Heavy demand for sugar for can
ming purposes is given as the cause
of the scarcity. No reason is assign
ed for the advance in price further
than the law of supply and demand,
which is supposed to govern prices;
1t is not thought likely there will
be any material change in the sit
uation for several weeks yet.

Mrs. w. H. Gurr, county director of
home economics, is fully awake to
the needs along this line, and has
done much to arouse an interest that
is bringing very gratifying results.
The meeting of the girls domestic
science club in Dawson the past
week was of unusual significance.
There were seventy-fve representa-
tives from the different communities
of the county who were Hospitality
entertained in many of the best
homes of the city, and from Tuesday
through Thursday every moment was
filled with pleasure and profit for
the visitors The school building and
grounds were rendered for demon
stration work, and Mrs. Gurr had
mapped out for each day programs
that held the interest and created
enthusiasm. Thirteen girls from the
county and twelve from Dawson were
invited to assist in the work, which
consisted in the proper planning of
meals, setting the table in the cor
rect way and serving in the daintiest
manner possible.
The study of tomato plants and
products with view to the largest
possible yield and the canning dem
onstration of filling nine containers
gave a valuable lesson in conserva-
ton, which each young lady promis-
ed to put into immediate practice on
her return home.
All the interesting details of the
demonstrations were carried out in
the open under the shade of the trees
,, and an oil stove was used. Mrs. Gurr
kept in mind the fact that all work
and no play is never the best plan
and many delightful social features
frightened the three days session.
The Dawson hostesses gave them
selves unstintedly to the entertain
ment of their guests, the homes be-
ing made especially attractive and
the serving of meals was given care
full thought. On Tuesday evening the
Library Association complimented
the visitors with "story tellinng
hour" at the library. A social hour
the lawn followed during which
light refreshments were served.
The Woman's Club sponsored the
entertainment given Wednesday at
ternoon, Mrs. |. P. Cooke directing
visits to The News Office and to the
Elladale dairy and Touring mills. The
heavy rain interferred with the trip
to inspect the ice plant and other
places of interest Mrs. T. B. Raines
was chairman of the refreshment
committee for the informal reception
i planned for the women of the coun-
tv and city. The rain interferred to
some extent with this feature. Mrs,
w. H. Gurr gave picture show
party to club members on Wednes-
day evening, and on Thursday after
noon they were complimented with
an ice cream party by DR.. L. Lamar
at the Peoples Drug Store.
During the entire time of their
STAY in Dawson the girls were under
the direction of Mrs. Gurr and the
hostesses.
It is difficult for those who have
not seen the work first hand to real
ize what is being done to develop in
these club members ideas Of thrift
and useful knowledge of home max
inc. The following out of the plans
laid down will mean much in the bet
ter1nent of community life and a
hearty cooperation with the home
economies director will be strike al
the high cost of living and will help
solve many of the vexing problems
with which the housewives are no"

The British delegates surprised the Americans by saying that they sought no special credit or aid, whereas many of the foreign missions are asking for American assistance in meeting recon struction problems.
 Secretary of Commerce Redfield, ad- dressing the trade conference today, urged the formation in the United States or a credit organization to pur- chase the securities of struggling for eign nations.
 These nations, said the secretary, will need several billions of dollars in the next few years to give them a firm footing.

SCHOOLPUPILS
 AND SCOUTS
 AS SOLICITORS

The pupils of the public schools and Boy Scouts of Cordova will be the so- licitors for membership to the Roose. welt Memorial Association.
 On Monday, October 27 the ami. versary of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt short program will be given at the school house by the pupils, and immediately thereafter the work will begin and continue until everyone in this community has had an opportunity to join.
 Announcement will be made later in the week, and all admirers of clean Americanism are invited to be present.
 The following excerepts are taken from the writings and addresses of Theodore Roosevelt:
 Capital and Labor
 Capitalist and wage-worker alike should honestly endeavor each to look at any matter from the others stand point, with a freedom on the one hand from the contemptible arrogance which looks down upon the man of less means, and, on the other, from the no less contemptible envy, jeal- nd yyh hata because he is better off. Each quality is the supplement of the other, and in point of baseness there is not the weight of finger to choose between them.
 The law is not to be administered in the interest of the poor man as such, nor yet in the interest of the rich man as such, but in the interest of the law-abiding man, rich or poor.
 This is an era of combination. Big business has come to stay. It can not be put an end to; and if it could be put an end to, it would mean that most widespread disaster to the com munity. The proper thing to do is to socialize it. to moralize it, to make it more an agent for social good and to do away with everything in it that tends toward social evil. To do this there must be a wise governmental control, a governmental control that will check the corporation when it is doing wrong and check the labor union
