WINNIPEG HAS GREAT
STORES OF BUTTER

Winnipeg, Man, Oct. 13.-Despite
the high prices of butter in Western
Canada, announcement has been made
here that there is sufficient butter in
store in Winnipeg alone to meet the
ordinary requirements Of this district
until spring and that Manitoba's sur
plus must seek other markets.
This summer according to availa-
BILE statistics, Manitoba dairymen
shipped more than two million pounds
Of butter at an average price of So
cents, which brought in about ST.
O89,O 900. It has been claimed that
high prices this fall were partly
caused by the Winnipeg strike in May
and June, when it is claimed that
lack of transportation facilities cost
the farmers at least S1,000,000.
During this period, it is said, that
many cows were allowed to go dry
or were MIXED by their calves.

FINDS
AND LOSES HER
MISSING SO n
North Dakota Soldier Suffering
Loss of Identity Shows
. Up for Moment
MAY BE IN THIS STATE

Wahpeton, N. D., Oct. 13.-Hurrying
across half a continent to Huntington
Va, only to find that her long miss
ing son, Harry E. Ross, a veteran OF
the Fighting First North Dakota who
lost his identity as a result of she'll
shock at scissors in July, 1918, had
again disappeared, Mrs Clark D. Ross
is again. at: her home in Des Moines
Ia, haunted with visions of her un-
fortunate boy lying helpless and per-
haps dying in boxcar on one of the
countless railway sidings with which
the middle west is dotted.
The Polk county chapter of the
American Red Cross at. Des Moines
has written of this latest development
to the Globe-Gazette here, fearing that
young Ross, who is believed to have
left Huntington, Va, in boX-car in
an attempt to beat his way home
may again have suffered lapse OF
memory, and that he may have wan
dered away from his original route
with a view of finding his old asso-
ciates in North Dakota.
Adele Seyle, secretary of the home
service section at Des Moines, says
that October 1 a wire was received
from the home service section at Hun
tington, West Va, asking transpor-
tation for Harry E. Ross, wounded,
she'll shocked, but giving his mothers
correct name and address. The Des
Moines Red Cross had been making
an exhaustive search for Ross since
September, 1918, when there came the
first news of his having been wound
ed in the battle of scissors on July
10, 1918. The West Virginia Red
Cross section was, at once wired to
hold Ross there until his mother, who
left Immediately for Huntington,
could arrive. The morning following
Mrs. Ross departure, however, wire
was received from West Virginia ad-
vising that Ross had again 'disap-
peared.
Mrs. Ross upon her arrival at Hun
tington found that the boy who had
applied to the Red Cross there an
swered the description of her son
who went overseas with the First
North Dakota, but she could find no
definite trace of him in the city, and
belief was expressed that he had left
for Des Moines on his own hook,
probably in boxcar. "We are fear
full" writes Miss Seyle, "that if he
has not had relapse of mind, he
may have some accident, or we may
lose him again for long while. If
he should forget Des Moines and re-
member North Dakota, we shall count
on you folks, to keep close watch and
to give this wide publicity through
out the state and locality"

BEN MURPHY is
BACK WITH TWO
WOUND STRIPES
Former Bismarck Man Is Dis.
charged With 100 Percent
Disability From Gas

Lieut.. M. B. (Ben) Murphy, for
merly Of this city, but more lately
of California, France and Germany
registered at the Grand Pacific hotel
last week. Lieut.. Murphy who was
overseas over eighteen months, wears
two wound stripes and was discharged
from the service with 100 percent dis
ability added to his discharge. The
former Bismarck man, brother of
Capt. H. T. Murphy of this city, was
both wounded and gassed and wears
two gold stripes on his right sleeve.
AS a result of his gassing, Lieut..
Murphy was considerably weakened
physically and soon was again in the
hospital suffering from influenza,
diphtheria and a multitude of other
illnesses. He has never completely
recovered, but hopes that by taking
much needed rest on returning to
his home in California that he will
again regain his strength.
Lieut.. Murphy enlisted as private
in April, 1917, and in October of that
year was commissioned second lieu
tenant in the infantry. He sailed for
France in June, 1918, after being sta
toned at Camp Kearney for many
months. He went overseas in COM
mand of company replacement in
fantry. He was wounded in the Ar
gonne offensive and also gassed at
this time. Since he has been in the
service, Lieut.. Murphy has been in
six different hospitals, two in France,
one in Germany and three in this
country.
Lieut.. Murphy was attached to the
military police and his chief work
with that organization was to map the
roads leading to the front lines in the
St. Mihiel and Argonne sectors. This
was particularly dangerous work,
most Of which had to be done at night
to avoid drawing enemy gun fire.
These reports were consolidated and
then Lieut.. Murphy would guide a
division, or some other organization
to their place in the lines when they
went forward to relieve other outfits.
Lieut.. Murphy left Sunday evening
for California. ~

that the court issue a writ direct
ing Judge Cole of the First judi

court. Both of these motions were
denied by the same vote as that

Prevention Drive" which commences

rying on the work in this section.
In the last drive, the Northern Pa.
cifc ranked fifth because Of fourteen
avoidable accidents. This drive, sale
Mr.. Mcdonald today, will undoubtedly
find the Northern Pacific leading all
the railroads. In the notice to all
employees, Superintendent Bernel
says: !.
1T is hoped that every employe
on this division will make it his bust
ness to do his work safely and see
that his fellow employees do the same
and by doing this there is no reason
why the Dakota division should not
stand at the head Of the list when the
drive is over"
A safetygram is also sent each EN-,
ploye by J. N. Rapelje, general man.
ager, at St. Paul, in which he urges
every employe of the road to take
an active part in the drive to reduce
accidents to a minimum, Each con-
,ductor will be responsible for his
crew during the drive to see that no
accidents happen and the same re-
sponsibility rests with each bridge
foreman, section foreman, agent and
other head Of group Of workers.
Will Use Posters.
A series Of posters will be placed
in every roundhouse, ,switchman's s
shanty, office, Toulouse and freight
house. The first one will appear Mon
day and new one will be displayed

ploye will be tagged with red sign
on which is printed 'Be Extra Care
full" These tags will be worn by the
men during the two week safety drive.
The general public is invited to par
ticipate in the drive and any sug-
gestions as to how accidents can be
reduced or eliminated will be CRATE
fully received and acted upon. The
public is also asked to notify the rail
road if they know of any unsafe prac-
tice or place along the railroad. The
public is warned to be extra careful
during the two weeks about crossing
railroad tracks either on foot or in
wheeled vehicles.
"The purpose Of the campaign"
said Mr.. Mcdonald today, lis it in
still the habit of caution and safety in
all employees and the public as far as
railroad property is concerned. We
never want any accidents on our road
at anytime, but we want this to be
particularly true during the two weeks
drive that starts October 1S. Peri
odical drives likes this do a great deal
toward making safety habit with
