W|LL|ST0N BOY IS
KILLED IN BATTLE
DIED OF WOUNDS RECEIVED IN
ACTION ON OCT. l5-FORMER
EMPLOYERS WERE NOTIFIED

The grim horrors of war is brot
home again to US when we learn of
the death of one of Williston's most
popular sons which resulted from
wounds received in battle on Oct
18th.
Joseph Charwatt better known as
"Little Joe" and who for the past
six years was employed as butcher
for The Model Market (Donahue 4
Carney is the young soldier of free
dom who has laid down his life for
worthy cause and to make this
world better place for us to live in.
The word of his death was receiv-
ed this week by Mr.. Joe Doahue from
his sister who resides at Cleveland,
Ohio. No information was to be
had as to when and where he was
wounded but it was thought that he
received the fatal wound in the bat
tie of Belleau Wood in the early part
of October.
Joe came to this country with a
sister from Aslda, Bohemia, and re-
sided with an uncle near Chicago be-
fore coming here to Williston six
years ago to work at the meat bust
ness. When war broke out he was
determined to join the colors' and
fight for what he thought was right,
regardless of the fact that he had
two brothers in the German Army.
He appreciated the freedom of this
country and the respect that had been
shown him since his arrival here
and felt that he owed it to the cause
of freedom to fight for this country.
Joe was so determined to join that
he could not wait to be called but
went to Minot last spring with the
idea of joining the Marines but was
turned down on account of not hav-
ing received his full citizenship pa
pers. He returned to, Williston and
made arrangements at once to pro-
cure these papers which he did and
left from here for Camp Dodge in
April where he was stationed but a
short while and was at the battle
front in France in the early part of
June.
His sacrifice of life adds another
gold star to the service flag of Will
liston and the memory of his smil-
ing face remains with those who
knew him never to be forgotten
At the time of his death he was
thirty years of age. His sister Miss
Rose Charwatt and his uncle. near
Chicago are the only relatives he has
in this country.

ed that under the new contract enter
ed into with the United States Rec

furnished the city it was necessary
to raise the rates on the light and
water service furnished to the reo-
pie of Wllliston.
On January 1st. the contract which
was in force with the City and the
Reclamation Service expired and a
new contract was submitted to the
city which is about 25 per cent high
er than the old contract.
The city commission claims that
this service is not run for profit and
that the rates /in effect under the old
contract have been as near to cost as
their good BUSINESS judgment would
allow and that under the new con-
tract they are forced to raise the
rates on light and water.
Under the old rate where the aver
age light user fthe city was pay
ing 10 cents per killowatte hour the
first 100 hours used they will now
be charged r. IL cents. Teh min
imum charge of $1.0O per month will
still remain in force.
The increase in water will be 5
cents per thousand feed for all users
who use under four thousand gallons
per month and for those who use over
that amount will be charged the same
as the old rate or 20 cents per thou
sand. The new rate on the first four
thousand feet 25 cents per thou
sand. Fractions Of a thousand gal
Ions are to be charged for as even

Other towns and cities in this state
and section of the country have made
a great success with similar organ
izations and have aided greatly in
the upbuilding of the community and
there is no reason why an associa-
ton of this kind cannot be made a
success here in Williston. 1t will
no doubt take some work on the part
of the members of the Association
and the public in general and it
should have the hearty support Of
every man and woman in the city of
Williston. Their financial support
where possible and if not at least
their mo raj support.

Falls, Montana, has building and

METH0O|STS N BIG j..
CENTENARY DRIVE
CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN
WILLISTON - PROGRAM FOR
SOCIAL, EDUCATIONAL AND
RELIGIOUS

More than 5000 churches and a.
100000 members of the Methodist
Episcopal church are celebrating the
Centennial of their Home and Foreign
Missionary work this year. After
a year and more of preparation the
campaign was officially launched Jan.
l. ducation, Intercession, Evangel-
ism, Stewardship, and Life Service
are the features of the program. An
incidental part of the program is the
raising of SO,OOO,0O0 dollars during
the next five years for the educa-
tional, social, and religious recon-
struction of the world. The Centen-
ary will spend more than $4,000 dol
lars for religious purposes in the Mi

ASSOCIATION ELECTS OFFICERS
EXCELLENT FUTURE BEFORE BUILDING AND LOAN AS
sOUATON-EFORT BEING MADE FOR MORE STOCK
'HOLDERs-GREAT HELP FOR WAGE GARNER

It is to the best interests of the
people within the city of Wlliston to
make the living conditions here the
best possible and grand start
can be made in this direction by sup
porting this organization. 1t is the
wish of the organization that every
citizen become member of the as
sociation and lend to it all possible
support. Thousands of dollars are
sent annually out of the city which
under the plans of the association
can be retained here for the upbuild-
ing of the community. One' feature
of the local association is that even
the wage Garner can easily acquire
stock and through the aid Of the as
sociation can be paying out his mon
ey for a permanent home instead of
paying it for rent.
Any amount from 81 up may be
invested each month and as will be
seen from the announcement that the
investment of 81 per month for ap-
proximately 100 months will bring
the investor 5000.
Borrowers for loans repay the same
in monthly installments of SIG per
month for every $1,000 borrowed. In
this way the earnings of the asso-
citation are obtained monthly, and
are reinvested as fast as the funds
are sufficient to make new loan.
As will be seen by this method in
terest is compounded monthly, thus
working very materially to the ad-
of the association, without
injuring the borrower. Being mu-
tual concern the borrower is part
of the association and has voice in
the management of the affairs, cleo
ton of directors, etc.
This association will help in the
upbuilding of the city by enabling
the wage Garner to become the own
er of their homes where they would
be unable to do so. Loans
are made for so per cent Of the value
If the property and person drawing
salaries thus are enabled to
pay off good sized loans instead of
paying rent, and in few years be-
come substantial property owners at
no additional expense to
hem than the payment of rent.
Consideration of this proposition
should be given thought by every one
living in the city and above all things
support should be given this PROPOSE
ion.

HOW FORD TROUBLE Is
AVOIDED IN COLD WEATHER

Ford owners could save them
selves lot of trouble in cold wealth
er if they would only use a good,
zero cold test oil of light body re-
fined from California crude" said
Mr.. p. A. Brandon for the Standard
Oil Company, in discussing cold
weather fabrication yesterday.
I'm the Ford motor, the clutch is
combined with the engine and lubri-
Gated from the crank case. If the
oil gets thick and sluggish in cold
weather, the discs of the clutch stick
together. This is what causes hard
cranking and that persistent creep
ing forward as II the clutch were
partly engaged.
''Zerolene Light as refined from
California crude of the naphthene
series has natural zero cold test;
it flows freely down to zero tempera-
ture. 1t does not become stiff and
sluggish because it contains no par
affine to CONCEAL and thicken in cold
weather When such an oil is used
there is no trouble with hard crank
ing. inefficient fabrication or sticky
