NEED MORE MONEY
FOR EXAMINATION
STATE INDUSTRIES
Appeal Declares Examination
Will Be Worth Many Times
Cost Stutsman County
Women Sent Contribution.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 2S.-What
the board of auditors hopes will be
a final appeal for public subscrip-
tions to defray the cost of examining
the state industries-state funds
having been refused-was issued to-
day. Unless the response is imme-
diate and liberal the board faces a
deficit The appeal follows:
To the People:
The response to our appeal for
funds with which to carry on the
examination Of the state bank has
been very gratifying from some dis
tricts; but there are many districts
that yet have not sent in dollar.
Money is not forthcoming in suffi-
cient amount to defray the cost from
day to day. The expenses of the
last week have taken all of the
money on hand and we are anxious
that the people contribute enough
money to cover the work now, on
hand. We are careful to see that
the state is getting a dollars worth
Of service for, every dollar expended
and we are assured that the result
OF the examination will be worth
many times it's cost to our citizens.
We suggest that the live, active
people of every community get to-
getAer and appoint committee to
solicit funds at once and send them
in so that we may be able to close
our work in proper and dignified
form and with all bills paid. Won't
somebody please start the movement
in every city, town and hamlet, at
once? n

sitzky, state auditor.
Stutsman County Contributions
The women of the Stutsman Coun-
ty Campaign organization solicited
ditors the sum of $291.OO. 1t was
intended to send in at least $500 at
first, but in view of the donations
sent in from Woodworth and Street.
er and by individual residents of
Jamestown, it was felt that the
county's quota of $500 had probably
been reached. -.
The letter which accompanied the
donation from Stutsman county,
however, assured the state board of
auditors that the voters of this coun-
ty appreciated the work which was
being done and that additional do
nations could undoubtedly be secur-
ed if the board, found it necessary
to make another call.
In view Of the reported refusal
of the authorities at the state mill
at Drake to allow the examiners to
have access to all of the records of
the mill. and the statement of the
board of auditors that 1--WE are as
sured that the result of the examin-
alton will be worth many times its
cost to our citizens," it is thot there
will be little difficulty is securing
additional subscriptions.

party.
The porch, reception hall and par
loriwere decorated suitably for a Val
entine occasion.
On entering each girl was given a
sip of paper by Miss Fredna Creech
in which was the name of a young
man present. Each was in suspense
as to the meaning of the slip until
it was explained that each girl was
to pay a compliment to the young
man whose name she held; each word
of the compliment was to begin with
the first letter of his name. He in
turn paid similar compliment.
Then the guests engaged in heart
hunt, by means of which partners
were matched for progressive hearts
dice. The prize, lovely red satin
heart of candy, was won by Miss Eu-

CHURCH SERVICES CLOSED.
Influenza Epidemic Causes Further
Restrictions in Town.

The influenza situation in Bamberg
has not made any material change
within the past week. Several new
cases have developed, and there are
a few persons in town who have
serious attacks of the disease, but the
spread Of the epidemic has been very
slow, and the board of health is very
hopeful that the situation will have
sufficiently improved this week to
remove at least some of the restric-
tions that have been imposed.
On Saturday the pastors of the
various churches in the city were
notified not to hold church services
on Sunday.
Quite a number of cases Of influ-
enza are reported from various Sec
tions of the county, but up to this
time the epidemic is comparatively
light. Few pneumonia cases have
been reported.

QUARANTINE AT CARLISLE.
No One Allowed to Enter or to Leave
Campus.

Since Saturday night, February L,
Carlisle has been under what is
probably the most strict quarantine
in the history of the school, The board
Of health decided that now is the
time to fight the disease if it is in
tended to fight it at all, and as there
is no influenza in Carlisle the school
fell in with the plan of the board so
that work could continue. The STU
dents from town who could not ar
range to move into the barracks are
not allowed to attend classes, and
any cadets who may enter are kept
isolated for at least forty-eight hours,
under the eye of the nurse and ply
sician.
The campus has been divided up
into sentry posts, and is under con-
t;nual guard from reville to taps. No
,one is allowed to enter or leave the
campus except those who are en-
gagged in the necessary work of run
ming the school. 1t is hoped that with
this quarantine and other preventive
measures the school will escape the
disease.
While it seems a little strange to
be confined to the campus, the facul-
ty and cadets are making the best
of it, and are by no means having
dull time. On Monday afternoon the
cadet corps had quite an enjoyable
time on the drill field. They had
one-hundred and fifty yard dashes,
three legged races, and finally tug
of war. The fifty yard dash by the
faculty furnished much amusement.
Some entertainments are also being
planned.
From a military standpoint, the
quarantine will be worth much to the
battalion, since it has given them val
liable experience in actual guard
mount. The four companies take it in
turn, each company being on duty a
day at a time. Formal guard mount
is rather difficult, but the work has
gone forward so rapidly that one
none would hardly now that it was
entirely new at the beginning of the
week. The band takes quite an i'm
portant and most interesting part in
the guard mount.

Mrs. Black and l went over to
Brother Thomas Clayton's to spend

supper quite number of the mem

endeavored to mob me, l could
easily make my escape.

room, where we beheld the table
loaded with good things-such as
hams, sugar, syrup, potatoes, etc.,
etc. May Gods richest blessings rest

pleasure to serve as pastor any
church where the brethren are so
Thoughtful and generous as the good
people of the Colston Branch COM
munity. Gods richest blessings upon
them.-Walter Black in Baptist
