North Dakota in the Hall Of States

All the work Of receiving the
we'll soldiers and writing to the
ailing ones centres in the Hall OF
States, a big building at ~ West
25th street. maintained by the
War Camp Community Service.
Here the great feature is that the
welcome for each lad is given by
home folks" women from his
own state. The returning men are
keen for the sight OF home faces
Many are anxious to find out about
long silent relatives, others are
most anxious to delve into the
home papers, of which a supply is
kept. Still others waat jobs back
home and for these the War Camp
Community Service maintains here
q nation-w wide employment bureau
to hunt positions for them back IN
North Dakota.

from Valley City and is the wife
OF Col. White. now serving over

CHURCH LAUNCHES RE:
CONSTRUCTION WORK
Twenty-Five Million Dollars to be Ex-
pended by Methodists to Rehabili- -
tate Wasted Regions in Europe.

Leading men Of the Methodist
church have just returned from Eu-
rope after laboring for weeks in max
ing d survey for the reconstruction
work of the Methodist Episcopal work
in connection with the Centenary
movement. An expenditure of $685.
100000 will be made to meet the war
emergency. No special drive will be
made in the church for this money as
it will be merged in the same budget
with the Centenary program, and all
the money will be raised in one great
drive for S105, 100000.
The war reconstruction work is di-
vided into seven departments: That
Of the War Emergency work, Indus
trial Reconstruction work, Educational
work, Americanization, Physical Re-
construction, Care of Orphan Chi
dren and Community Service.
Bishop Edwin Hughes, who return
ed this week from France where, as
a Y. M. c. A. worker he studied for
six months the conditions of the peo-
pie and the opportunities for Metho-
dist church extension work, having
been assigned to the task by the
Board of Bishops of the Methodist
church, today in an interview said:
The work that the Methodist
church is performing already in
France is highly important and is
meeting crucial need among the peo-
pie of that war stricken community.
Its progress to the present is nothing
short of remarkable. One of the
principal activities the commission on
War Activities is engaged in now, is
to provide self supporting work for
war widows. of which there are hun
dreds of thousands, million and a
quarter French soldiers having laid
down their lives during the war. The
wives of great number of French sol>
diers came to their widowhood al
ready in destitute circumstances be-
cause of the fact that the pay of the
French soldiers is amazingly small.
!, To make these war widows merely
objects Of charity would be most un-
kind, if not disastrous, SO we plan to
furnish them work, uplifting and re-
spectable work somewhat after the
plan of Morgan Memorial, Boston.

Ole Hanson, Reported Killed in
France. Returns.

John J. Lee received letter from
Ole Hanson, the young man who made
his home with the Lee family for eight
years, stating that after being in the
service of the Canadian army in
France for two years, he is again back
at Leadville, Sask.
Mr.. Lee had heard that Ole was
killed IN France, several reports hav-
ing come to him to that effect, but it
appears that he was seriously wound
ed, instead.
When John Lee was sheriff of Ward
county, Ole, who was then q lad Of
seven years, was found hungry and
cold, in an ash heap back of the Le-
land hotel. His mother was dead and
his father had gone away. There was
some talk of sending the lad to the re-
form school, not that he had done any
thing, but to provide home for him.
Mr.. Lee. instead, took Ole into his
home and treated him as member of
his own family, sending him to school
and making man Of him. Ole writes
that he will soon come to Minot for a
visit.

Another thing we are doing and
considerable satisfactory pro-
gress in, is in caring for war orphans.
There must be millions of them. AL
ready the Methodist church has opened
three orphanages; one at Grenoble, for
girls; one at Ecully, near Lyons, for
girls; and one on big farm thirty
miles from Lyons, for boys. I have
visited them and have been much i'm
pressed with the work. Nearly every
orphan has an interesting and highly
pathetic war history.
Son the 250-acre farm at Ecully, we
purpose to demonstrate modern and
efficient farming and carry on a great
social community service plan. This
affords a grand opportunity for phil
anthropic Americans with available
money who want to do something
practicable to aid France"
Another part Of this war work of
the church is the education of Amer
ican soldiers in France. A corps Of
professors with full equipment has
already been sent over. College men
will be given an opportunity to finish
a year of work. Other men will take
up any practical course of study they
choose. 1t is expected that 100000
men. will register in this army college
conducted by the Centenary.

A. c. ENCDAHL SHOOTS
HIMSELF ACCIDENTALLY
Former kenmare Banker While Clean
ing Revolver in Garage Friday Ev-
ening Fatally Wounds Himself.

A. G. Engdahl, former vice presi-
dent Of the defunct Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank of kenmare, shot and
killed himself in his garage at Ken
mare last Friday evening. In state
ment made to Louis Knudson, a close
friend, shortly before he died, he stat
ed that he had accidentally shot him
self while in the act of cleaning his re-
volver.
i was cleaning my gun and that's
the last / could remember" was the
statement Mr.. Engdahl made to Mr..
Knudson.
When Mr.. Engdahl did not return
to supper that evening, Mrs. Eng
dahl became alarmed and told Mr..
knudson that she feared something
had happened to him. Mr.. knudson
and a neighbor, Mrs. Olson, made
search and Mr.. Engdahl was found
lying on his back in the garage, with
blood flowing from his side. He was
in semi-conscious state but was able
to talk. He was taken into the house
and surgeons were called at once.
1t was found that the bullet from his
.32 calibre revolver had entered his
side, just above the stomach, striking
the liver. Surgeons agreed that the
only thing that could possibly save his
life was an operation, but he died be-
fore this could be DONE He was not
able to talk but a little before he died,
and did rally enough to speak to Mr..
knudson.
States Attorney Herigstad went to
kenmare Monday, where an inquest
was held. The jury, Mr.. Fox, Andy
Paulson and Mr.. Showers, decided that
Mr.. Engdahl had met death by acci-
dental shooting.
Mr.. Engdahl was IL years of age and
is survived by his wife and one son.
He had lived at Kenmare for the past
fifteen years and for years was con-
nected with the Farmers & Mer-
chants bank Of that city. He resign
ed about the time the bank failed. At
about that time he was connected
with the auto concern of Walstad E.
Co.
He was Mason and an Elk. Fu-
neral services were held at Kenmare
where the remains were buried.
Mr.. Engdahl was a man who had a
host of friends who sincerely sympa-
thize with the heartbroken wife and
fatherless son.

/. !. SANDS ARREST
Ed ON TWO CHARGES.
Former Kenmare Banker Furnishes
$4,000 Bail-Charged With Receiv-
ing Money After Bank Was
InsOlvent and Making False
Report.

H. T. Sands, former vice president
of the Farmers and Merchants Bank
of kenmare, now in the hands of re-
ceiver. was placed under arrest at
Wyndmere, N. D., Friday, where he
has been operating lumber yard for
the past year, under two charges:
Receiving money after he knew
that the bank was insolvent.
2-Swearing to false report to the
state banking department.
The complaint was issued out of the
office of States Attorney Herigstad.
Sands appeared before Justice A. B..
Dill Monday. gave bonds for $4,000,
and his preliminary hearing will be
held later Sands has employed Fisk
& Murphy to represent him and will
fight the case. He returned to Wynd-
mere Monday night.
The States Attorney alleges that
the bank department had ordered
dollars worth of poor paper out of
the bank, which he did, later putting
the paper back in the bank, and swear
ing falsely in his report.
The bank failed Sept. 5, 1918, and
has been in the hands of M. T. Dali
quist, as receiver.
Mr.. Dalquist believes that with good
crops this year, the bank will come
near paying out dollar for dollar. The
bank has 26 quarters in crop and if the
crops are good, many of the notes
given to the bank will be collected the
coming fall.
Sands became vice president after
the resignation of A. G. Engdahl, who
shot and killed himself at Kenmare
last Friday night, as the result of an
accident while cleaning his revolver,
according to statement made by his
friends.

Flax Fibre Expert Looks Over Minot
Field

Jonas Brolin. of Bellingham, Wash,
stopped over in Minot Tuesday for
day. enroute east. He is a noted fax
fibre expert and has been instrument
tai in establishing many flax fibre
plants in the United States. It is pos
sible that he will establish such
plant here and he stopped here for the
purpose Of looking over the field.
While in Minot he was the guest of his
old friend, H. A. Foss.
Mr.. Brolin's attention to the Minot
field was caused by copy of the Bus
mess Bulletin of Minot. published un-
der the supervision of Secretary Hol-
bein of the Association Of Commerce,
which fell into his hands. The Bulle-
tin is regarded generally as an i'm
Dortant factor in the upbuilding Of

FARM BUREAU DIRECT
0RS FOR WAREHOUSE
Pass Resolution FavOring Building of
House in Minot-Will Call Mass
Meeting Soon.

The directors or the Ward COunCy
Farm Bureau met at the County
Agents office in the Federal building
Monday evening, and had a conference
with the Potato Warehouse Committee
Of the Association of Commerce, con-
sisting Of Messrs. j. c. Smallwo0d, F.
B. Lambert and VIM. Dunnell. This
committee had made serious study
of the warehouse proposition and had
with it drawings and specifications of
potato warehouses that were already
built in the state.
The whole situation was carefully
analyzed, and it was found that farm
ers who store their potatoes in the fall
in their cellars were losing great
deal by shrinkage, while in scien-
tificially ventilated warehouse the
shrinkage was almost nothing, There
is also the trouble the farmer has to
grade and handle his potato crop at
least twice before marketing, that
would be overcome by hauling direct
from the field to the warehouse.
Messrs. E. A. Madison and J. H.
Werner of Burlington, were present at
the meeting, and stated that they
had gone into the matter thoroughly,
and if not this year surely next year
they would build commodious ware
house at Burlington, for they knew
positively that it was good business
for the farmer to have such ware
house available.
One of the main arguments in fa-
vor of the warehouse was that the
farmer could not be expected to go
into potato raising on anything like
the scale he should unless the market
xJx, $o,
would provide the market, and it was
the sense Of the meeting that even this
year there were enough spuds planted
start.
Prof. G. w. Randlett of the Agri-
cultural College was present and gave
some wholesome advice.
Upon motion duly seconded it was
Bureau should call a mass meeting in
as possible when the farmers of this
hand just what a large, well managed
potato warehouse would do for them|
in the future. It is expected that this
meeting will be called for some day in
June.
The directors of the Farm Bureau
have taken an important step in their
determination to see the matter
through, and the action is stricly in|
line with the whole idea of having
farm bureaus in every county, so that
the marketing of farm produce may be
accomplished with the least possible
loss to the farmers.
The Association of Commerce COM
mittee pledged it's support to the Blu
reau in the matter of potato ware
house, and will do all in it's power to
assist in any way suggested by the Di-
rectors of the Farm Bureau in bring
ing the proposition to successful
elimination.

Whether the fight which Townlev
launched against Youmans last week
will be given a further airing at the
Minot meeting. when these two men
meet fare to face. or whether the two
men will forget personalities for the
dav and work for common cause. is
causing good deal of speculation on
the part of their friends.
Youmans. in an advertisement an
Nearing elsewhere in this issue. urges
his friends to forget the Townlev-
Youmans fight and to work for league
principles.
Townlev accuses Youmans of writ
ing him letters threatening to tell the
public that Townlev endeavored to rnt

influence in securing a favorable de-
cision in the S15000O damage suit
