SOUND THE JUBILEE

Are you working in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union Million
Dollar Drive? It will work for Amer
lea and the world.
We hear the voice Of God bidding US
eco Forward" Our women must
have their great part in the recon-
struction and stabilizing period. Our
women must guard the youth and
morals Of our nation. Our women
must go forward in full strength for
world prohibition. The enemy is not
dead-is not even sleeping.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union has broad foundation that in
cludes many phases of social service:
Taking unique motto, "For God, and
Home, and Native Land" and later,
enlarging it to "For God, and Home,
and Every Land" it early established
departments of work in a 'sDo Every
thing" policy which makes great re-
sponsibilities obligatory in the protec-
tion of home and country. Because of
this, the Jubilee Program plans are
made "

self to the capitol building lunch-

IOOlIs
There Mr.. Mason gave distinct or
ders that no luncheon should be
delivered to the rival camp, and in
asmuch as Mr.. Mason is somewhat
Of factor in determining who shall
hold the lunch room concession at
the capitol building the woman who
just now holds the privilege decided
it would be wise not to fill the order
given her by the insurgents. 70
This order probably was the result
of the work of Oliver Morris, repre-
sentative extraordinary of the league
inner circle. -.
But even the governors secretary
lacked influence sufficient to bar the
insurgents from getting meal at
the Grand Pacific hotel, and steam
ing hot luncheon was soon on its
way to the capitol building, and the
taxi hove up with the 'insurgent cab
met luncheon" just at the proper
time A..
The insurgents sang songs and
had big time, Judging from the noise
in the capital building
There was no singing in the Fra
zier cabinet meeting.
Next Monday a ''pink tea" will be
served the insurgents in the Office of
Miss Minnie J. Nelson, state super
intendent of public instruction: It
seems that "ping teas" are particu-
larly offensive to the Oliver Morris
type of leaguers, and probably that is
the reason the insurgents have de-
termined upon the ''pink tea" for next
Monday as a rival attraction to the
cabinet luncheon.

The members of the Brotherhood
Society of the Epworth NJ. E. church,
held a very enjoyable meeting last
evening in the church parlors. The
regular Brotherhood supper was
served at Z o'clock, and was a sunp-
tuous repast. Yesterday being the
birthday of the pastor, Rev. Wilds, he
was presented with a birthday cake
with 81 candles on it also framed
picture of President Woodrow Wilson.
After the supper was over the Broth
erhood meeting was held, and it was
presided over by the president Of the
society, DR.. S. A. Zimmerman. Rev.
James Anderson of Fargo introduced
DR.. Enoch Perry of Milwaukee, who
spoke very interestingly on the sub
ject "The Centenary and its Relation
to City Problems.

whether retaining involves four
year college course or a few months
shop experience. Uncle Sam will foot
all the bills. 4
But there are thousands of crippled
fighters who are not aware of their
rights. To help them back to inde-
pendence, congress has appropriated
100000 for their re-education if
their disability prevents them from
returninfi to their old jobs. Congress
passed without dissenting vote the
law under which the Federal Board
for Vocational Education is charged
with getting a job, if he will accept
this help, for every disabled soldier
or sailor entitled to compensation un-
der the war risk insurance act.
The Federal Board is already func-
tioning, handicapped only by the diff
ficulty of reaching all the men entitled
to it's assistance. To help in this
phase of the work, the board is enlist
ing the aid of the American Red
Cross.
The following names Of disabled
soldiers has been reported to the Vo-
cational Aide of Barnes county from
the Northern Division American Red
Cross, Minneapolis, Mimi:
Edmund NJ. Fletcher, Valley City,

Albert C. Hoffman, r. R. No. 2, Val

Mr.. D. O'Malley of Valley City, N.
D. has been appointed Vocational Aide
on the Home Service Committee of
Barnes County to assist the Federal
Board in reaching every disabled man
returning to this county. He will be
very glad to meet any returned soldier
in his office in room "a in the post Of
fee building, and to furnish informa-
tion to any interested person.

MURPHY MAKES
QUICK RECOVERY

Wednesday at the Masonic temple
ply was taken quite sick--or at least
he thought he was-and doctor was
called into consultation. The case was
diagnosed as probable pleurisy case
and, he was told he would be incapaci-
tated from duty for couple Of days
or so. The doctor wrote prescription
and boy went down to get the said
prescription filled at the drug store,
A. B. Cox going along to see that the
little boy was started home with the
right dope, which consisted of twelve
innocent looking pills. 'Billie' down.
ed one of the pills and in the course
of time made visit to the bathroom
in the meantime the other eleven pills
were lying on the tor Of the bureau.
This is all very natural and accord
ing to Hoyle, but then Willie has
twins of rather mischievous
nature, and they, seeing those
pills, thought it would be good stunt
to eat thenl-and they did-the whole
eleven. When Willie discovered this
his case of pleurisy vanished as fast
as five dollar bill at Florida sum-
mer resort and he got busy telephon-
ing for a doctor and a few stomach
pumps as fast as he could but he
could not get doctor as they were
all busy or out of town. Well, to
make a long story shorter, the one
pill evidently did the business for
Billie and the other eleven did not in
the least harm the twins so that ev-
erything has turned out all right. Bill
lie experienced a real quick cure Of
pleurisy is back on the job and friend
Cox is tickled that his right bower got
back to work without the loss of much
time. r

.KOSI|T'ZKY I TALKS TO
SEVERAL HUNDRED

Last Saturday afternoon and eve
ming State Auditor Carl r. Kositzky
spoke at the court house in this city to
several hundred farmers al ',,,2,itizens =,
on the subject of taxation GONE of
the laws passed by the req s legisla-
ture to which he and othe ate Off
cials were opposed becal Eof their
viciousness and tenden = towards
graft and monopoly. In s Ifternoon
the county assessors he| 8 meeting
which was presided over : Tax Com
missioner H. H. Steele, go advised
them on methods of as s ing under
the new laws and ansW g questions
las they were asked of ~. We are
inclined to think that ny farmers
and others who were NJ Lmiliar with
the new laws passed v...~, home with
a keener insight as to what the leg
islature had done to them in the mat
ter of taxation-and it certainly
"done us" to a fare you well. Follow
ing the school of information Mr..
Kositzky took the floor and for about
an hour gave talk that while it was
not an oratorical effort it was clear
cut talk on the various measures that
are being opposed by five of the state
officials. Mr.. Kositzky told about the
printing bill at some length, showing
up the cunningly devised plan of the
leaders to build up great big mon
opoly for publishing all the legal work
of the state by chain of SO odd pap
ers-one of the greatest monopolies
and holdups ever attempted in this
state. In addition to that it is the in
tention to have these same printing
offices, if this law is sustained, print
all the text books for the state at big
prices without any competition, throw
ing all this money, which will amount
to over a quarter Of a million dollars
into the hands of the stockholders Of
these papers at whose head is Mr..
Brinton, the biggest big business
agent in the state. Then he told of
the educational bill, how they were
going to make Miss Nelson figure
head and also showed how this edu-
cational bill dovetailed into the big
printing graft bill so that the big bus
mess stockholders would get the divi-
dends coming and going, with no COM
petition-fine dope, is it not. Then he
told of the immigration measure,
which appropriates 5000, 900 for immi-
grafton purposes but which he init
mated might be spent by orators talk
ing for other things other than immi-
grafton. He told of the heavy taxa
tion problems and right there was
where he made the fellows sit up and
take notice. He told how Townley
ard the other BOSSES tried to crack
the whip over everybody and wound
up his talk by saying that he and 9th
ers refused longer to be "a rubber
stamp" He said he had a conscience
and was free agent and intended to
act independently regardless of the
consequences. He stated that he was
not betraying the league, was still
for it's original program, but he was
trying to save the people by being be-
trayed by the leaders. Mr.. Kositzky
made good impression on those who
heard him. He made a second speech
in the evening, the court room being
crowded again at this second meeting.

LANCER TALKS TO
SCHOOL OFFICERS

Several hundred school officers and
citizens went to the Congregational
church Wednesday afternoon to hear
North Dakota's fearless attorney gen.
eral talk to the school officers on edu-
cational matters. There was nothing
in Mr.. Langer's speech that was at
all political but it was a clean cut talk
along educational lines and during his
talk he was warm advocate for con-
solidated schools, conplimenting
Barnes county On the progress made
along these lines. He was most en-
phatic in his warning against safe
guarding the school funds of the state
which he declared was the greatest
asset this state had. He evidently did
not favor the using of this money for
public enterprises and from the gen
erous applause the speaker received
the people present we're with him.
There were many school officers pres
ent from all over the county and the
sessions yesterday were full Of good
things along educational lines. George
A. Mcfarland introduced the attor-
ney general. Mr.. LANCER also de-
clared that the mothers pension law
was a great thing. And right here it
might be well for people to know that
it was due to Senator Frank E. Ploy-
har's good work that this bill was
passed three years ago. The bill was
due to be scrapped had not our fight
ing senator put his broad shoulders
into the breach, used his head effect
lively and saved it from defeat. There
fore the widows owe him a vote of
thanks. The law is a good one and
has been the means of helping many
worthy widows who have families to
raise. Mr.. Mcfarland made very
good speech following Mr.. Langer-
as he always does-and his many
friends were pleased to see and hear
him. At the conclusion Of the session
Mr.. LANCER was greeted by many
friends, who admire the plucky stand
he has taken in incurr:ng the dis
pleasure Of the big boss because he
would not put the seal Of his approval
on four or five measures passed by the
legislature that were in his judgment
detrimental to the best interest of the
people. Whatever else can be said
Of the states attorney general-it
cannot be said that he can be whipped
into line by any boss nor be dictated
to in the discharge Of his official du-
ties. We don't always agree with Mr..
LANCER, but we do like him immensely
because he has the nerve and courage
of his convictions and is not afraid to
express them. We do not like these
pikers who are afraid to say their
souls are their own. 1t will be very
hard to convince the voters of North
Dakota that Mr.. LANCER is such a
dangerous man as the kept league
daily at Fargo and the big boss and
his henchmen are trying to make out,
and we are also of the opinion before
ne gets through with them he will con-
vince them of that fact. Mr.. LANCER
is strong for the regular league pro-
gram and has not changed his mind
one whit in that respect, and says so,
but there are limitations on legisla-
tion of the vicious sort that he does
not stand for and two of these meas
ures are the educational bill and the
printing bill.
