Col. Oliver Dockery in N. 7.

AO1s OAVS4 DOSJ
Col. O. H. Dockery was the
first of the month transferred
from Divisional Headquarters at
Camp Devens, Mass, to Albany,
New York, where he has charge
of the Army Recruiting Service
I'm the Capital District OF New
York, with headquarters at SAB
Broadway, Albany. This District
extends from New York City to
Canada, and the work is very
important, and a compliment
that Col. Dockery was selected
for it.
An extensive campaign for re-
cruits has been begun there for
what will be the new army, an
army that will be on different
basis from the old regulars and
five times as large. 1t is the
plan Of the war department to
replace the troops now in Ger
many with divisions of newly re-
cruited regulars. The new army
will be made up of men without
dependents; men who can serve
in any part of the world without
making an allotment to rela.
tives.

MICHIGAN FIRM
SOLVES PROBLEM

The Van Vervvor; Company of
Lansing, Michigan, successfully meets
mail-order competition. The follow
ing paragraphs outline their attitude
in the matter:
We believe that the main factor in
handling this proposition is to find
out what mail-order competition is,
take your customers into your conf
dence and cooperate with them, ask
them to cooperate with you in build
ing up home interests, not as a mat
ter of charity, but as business propo-
siti0n, as community work. Farm
ers are too good business men to not
understand that when they help build
up their local town they add dollars
to their acres and are indirectly
working for their own benefit. Most
of them are willing to do it, provided
their local merchants are alive to the
situation and good enough business
men to meet them half way.
Do not forget that when you help
your own town to grow you add dol
lars to your acres and that we do not
ask or expect you to do business with
US if your local dealers are prepared
to do the same by you that we can.
And we believe that many of them
can and will. Just give them chance,
and if they haven't the goods that
you want, or cannot meet the catalog
house competition, bring US your busi-
moss. we are 0n the lob with the larg-
est and best assortment of hardware
in Central Michigan. We want to
patronize your local dealer as far as
possible, as building up surrounding
towns indirectly benefits us. But if
impossible to get what you want,
when you want it, on a correct basis
ot him, we are ready to serve you.

"KNOCKING KNOCKERS"
By Douglas Fairbanks

How many people have said to yo'l
today, ~ am not going to buy any
Fifth Liberty Bonds," and then start
ed in to give you lot of reasons :?
They complain about taxes, and say
that the war is over, and that the
country is no good anyway, and that
the Democrats are wrong, and the
Republicans are wrong. In fact, they
can give you any number Of rea-
sons?
Where do you suppose they got
them? From, knockers!
Well, knock the knockers!
Every reason we ever had for buy
ing Liberty Bonds still holds good.
From every angle you can ohink Of
patriotism, backing up
the boys-everything still holds
good, and, in addition
Keep your patriotic slate clean:
The only thing that ever put over
the first four loans was the fact that
they were backed by the peoples pa
triotic support and enthusiasm. With
out these they would not have stood
any chance of going over, and with
out the peoples support and enthu-
siasm this coming loan may fail.
They are the key to the success Of
the loan.
A lot of knockers are trying to
steal that key. They are mixture
of ignorance, dissention, and seditious
propaganda, and they have done their
knocking so successfully that they
have a lot Of people who ought to
know better talking their way.
Let's stop them right now!
The next time they try to steal
your support and your patriotism,
come right back at 'em and show 'em
up! Turn the tables on them! Give
them some of the same medicine the
doughboys gave the Huns! Throw
their own arguments back at them
and you can blow them up with their
own stuff.
Don't let anybody get away with

JUDGE YOUR TOWN
BY THE PEOPLE

"A town is no better than the peo-
pie that make up the population. If
they are dead in the shell, the future
of the town is a blank. If they are
tightwads, afraid to risk the invest
ment of a dollar in upbuilding the
town naturally becomes a dead one
It might as we'll be scrapped. 1t is
in class with cemetery. On the
other hand, if the citizens have conf
dence in their town; if they are pro-
gressive and public spirited; if they
are willing to risk investments in the
way Of improvements or any venture
that may promise to be contributory
factor in bettering the place! if they
can look one effort that may prove
a failure cheerfully in the face and
buckle in and try something else; If
they have the snap, the pep, the GIN
ger to believe in their town, pay out
for the town and smile, smile, smile
with an optimism that does not rec
ognize failure, that town is certain
to forge ahead. Building towns is
game that only man sized men should
engage in, as pessimists, weakllngs,
and 'I-told-you-so's" are out of place
in endeavors of that nature. 1t is
the spirit to do things that gets a
community anywhere. We saw it
conspiciously illustrated in Minot in
the early days. If that town had
been populated by less progressive
crowd than was in the place at the
beginning, Minot would be in size but
a fraction its present magnitude.
Within a third Of century there
has been builded up large and
push laid by the pioneers OF that
flourishing city upon foundation OF
place. Since those days we have
never seen the same punch manifest
itself in small community until Will
liston commenced waking up. In
somewhat a lesser degree, but no less
a manifestation of civic loyalty, we
have seen the people of this place
give freely of their means to aid
projects that had for their object the
Improvement or promise of better
ment for the town. Now, within a
very short time we have seen that
liberality grow to include greater
things, and feel that the time has
come when Williston will commence
influence of those free handed con-
tributions. When people are ready
to dig down into their own pockets
to promote public enterprises with
out winching at the touch of the
pocket nerve you may know that they
are alive to their own interests, and
will not recognize failure in anything
they may elect to undertake"

Grafton Likes Pr0gra ms

Grafton Likes Programs
Grafton News and Times: The first
of the series of the Community pro-
grams to be given here under the
auspices of the Community Associa-
ton occurred at the Strand theatre
yesterday afternoon. The first part
of the program was rendered by the
Liberty Boys Quartette and orches-
ira. The program consisted of duets,
solos, quartettes and instrumental Sc
lections, all being clean, patriotic and
of high order. The violin selections
by Mr.. Paul Clark were we'll received
and were. given hearty applause. As
a whole the musical part of the pro-
gram was attractive and heartily en-
dorsed by every one present.
The feature of the afternoon was
the lecture by DR.. James Menry Nc
Laren, the dramatic orator of Cali
fornia, on Community Interests and
Cooperation. DR.. McLaren is a force
full and pleasing speaker, holding the
attention of his audience from start
to finish. He made an earnest plea
for the community movements which
is a new movement in North Dakota.
The movement has for it's object that
of bringing the people together and
o fgetting the minterested in their
homes, their business and their COM
munity. The movement also encour-
ages the building up of local enter
prises. The speaker told of the need
of the world for educated young speo-
pie. The great professions are all
open to the educated young man who
wishes to live life of usefulness.
North Dakota stands at the head in
education and in many things but is
behind in many things. Among is
needs are: ..%r..
1. Improvement of roads.
2. Improving sanitary conditions.
3. Beautifying towns and cities.
In closing the speaker urged the
people to build up their own city,
beautifying it, make the homes at
tractive, beautify the surroundings
of the home. Encourage home in
dustry and encourage the people to
trade at home. Let the merchant
prove to the people that he is willing
to get the best the market affords for
his customers. If he makes busi-
ness of serving his customers there
will be no reason for sending away
for goods. Do not play with your
business. Make it the best business in
the world and the world will find you
and make track to your door.

"Take 1t Away From Williston" is
Ia good one and we agree that it hits
the mark in our community. We ad-
wise those who have a guilty con-
science to look in the mirror and see.
how closely their map resembles the
one in the above cartoon.
This cartoon was drawn by Car
toonist Joe Dillstrom who is work
ing with the Community Develop
ment Association and who was in
the city the first of the week tc ar-
range for the coming Community
events and help the local papers on
their Community Supplement.
"Dillee" as he signs his name and
is known by his associates has spent
much of his time in this work of art.
for the betterment of the community
and the encouraging of the trade-at--
home idea.
In spite of the fact that he was,
here only short while he had time
enough to determine that our town
would be better without so many
knockers and was badly in need Of
more boosters. Consequently the
above cartoon.
"Dillee" is a red blooded American
with the right idea and his work is
bringing results. He will work up
series of chalk talks and drawings to
use through the state on the coming.

SMUT

r t'i.. oV4O
1t does not take much smut to,
cause a 10 percent loss, and it often
runs much higher. The formalde-
hyde treatment will cut out the loss
from smut. The treatment consists
in thoroly weeting the seed grain
with a solution made up of pint full
strength formaldehyde to 40 gallons
Of water. Wheat at two dollars a
bushel is too expensive to let smut
have a part of the crop, nor can one
afford to run any chances on oats or
barley.

INSTINCT TO PUT
COP BACK ON lob

LONDON. Aug 1.-THE cops in
stinct" OF Thomas Pemberton restored
$3.50 to Capt. Carl Hanson, skipper OF
an American steamer; Jailed two
women and will probably win for
Pemberton his reinstatement as
member OF the London police force.
Pemberton hasn't had much to do
since he went on duty In response to
the strike call OF the policemen's
union, so he rambled around his old
beat in civilian clothes, goaded by
that instinct.
He saw Hanson ensnared by
couple of dockside ''harpies," and fol-
lowed the trio TO a pub" where the
girls tempered with the shippers
beer.
AS they came out Pemberton, from
the shadow of an adjacent doorway,
watched the girls go through Han
sons pockets.
Pemberton rounded up the women,
and FIVE minutes later he had handed
them over to . uniformed nonunion
"Bobbie." Hanson's money was re-
covered.
