There is some conflict in the reports
on Gen. Wrangers operations. A Sc
bastopol despatch OF November 1 said
Gen. Wrangel admitted the loss OF Pere-
kop. Thursdays advices from Sebastn-
pol asserted that Wrangel was master
of Perekop, giving the impression that
he had recaptured the place. The ref
erence to Budenny's cavalry is confus-
ing. as that leader was reported to have
deserted the Soviet cause.

PlQUANT VIOLA VALE AP-
PEARS IN "SlX FEET FOUR
Plays Opposite William Russell in
Big American Super
Feature

VIOLA Vale, delightful heroine of a
hundred >silversheet stories, has the
leading feminine part in "Six Feet
Four" the feature film of the week
at the Orpheum Theatre, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
In this big, dramatic six-part spe-
cial--American's long-heralded adap-
tation of Jackson Gregory's popular
novel-Miss Vale will be seen in the
engaging role of "Winifred Waver-
ly", a straightforward western girl
who finds herself in love with "Six
Feet Four" the very man she thinks
has robbed her of a large sum under
the pretense of giving her the pro-
lection of his escort along danger
Gus trail. Circumstances also point
to him as the perpetrator of numer-
Gus other hold-ups and shootings.
Before this barrier interposes itself
between them, however, Miss Vale
as Winifred puts over charming
scene vis-a-vis a mysterious masked
man of muscular build. Taking him
for the stalwart Six Feet Four and
assuming that he is playfully bur-
lesquing the exciting hold-up of the
night before, she pleasd prettily not
to have to put up her oh-so-dirty
hands. Then, as he continues to act
out his part in grim earnest, she
laughingly agrees to surrender the
money if only he'll spare her life
So winsome is she in her pleading
that you wonder how even desper-
ado could resist.
This fascinating little actress
knows better than most leading wo-
men how to invest her work with
charm and naturalness, and "Six Feet
Four" affords her plenty of oppor-
tunities to register her appealing per-
sonality.

SEED AND FEED FOR
NEEDY FARMERS ONLY
To the Farmers of Ward County:

To the Farmers Of Ward County:
There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the purpose of Ward
County in issuing bonds for Seed and
Feed. Some applications have been
received from farmers whose personal
property is clear and who owe but lit
tie upon their farms and who in fact
are better fixed than ninety per cent
of the farmers Of the county. This
is not the intent and purpose of the
law. Only $3.50, 100000 has been pro-
vided for this purpose and this is bare
ly sufficient to take care of those
whose financial condition is such that
they are unable otherwise to secure
seed and feed.
As commissioners of Ward county
we would appeal to the farmers to
assist us in the task of providing this
help for those who need such aid in
order to be able to crop their land
this year. Any farmer who can 9th
erwise secure his seed and feed should
take pride in the fact that he has
not called upon the county to aid him
and that by refraining from making
application to the county for assist
ance, has made it possible for some
farmer who is in distress, to bridge
over the hard times and to get on
his feet again.
The farmers who are in such finan-
cial condition that they are unable
to get their seed and feed at any other
place ought to get in their application
at once, so as to make sure that it
will be acted on before all county seed
and feed is gone.
The limit to the amount Of seed and
feed that will be provided for any
man this year is about $45O.OO and
where man has only one quarter it
will be less than $4,000 and in all
cases the applicant must promise to
plant and properly care for at least
fifteen acres of corn. i,
Please remember that the county is
not in the seed and feed business; nor
are the furnishing seed and feed
enough to enable anyone to gamble
upon large crop, but they are aim
ing to furnish enough so that no real
farmer in the county, no matter if
poor and hard up need fail to plant
enough crop to give him living and
seed enough for next year. We aim
to aid those in distress.
A. s. SPICHER,
County Commissioner.

w. C. T. u. OPPOSE FOUR
INITIATIVE MEASURES

Resolved, by the Women's Christion
Temperance Union of Minot, North
Dakota, that we are unalterably op-
posed to the four initiative and refer
endum measures to be voted on next
Tuesday, March 18th, at the pools.
These measures are:
l. Legalizing sale Of cigarettes.
2. Legalizing prize fighting.
8. Legalizing the taking of receipts
at Sunday baseball games.
4. Legalizing Sunday theatres;
all of which are now forbidden by law.
Resolved, further, that the best in
terests of our school children and
young men and women demand that
the present law against the. sale of
cigarettes be not only retained, but
enforced, as we believe the sale and
use of cigarettes the most harmful re-
naming single agency to the body and
brain of the young manhood of Amer
lea, now that alcoholism is under the
ban of the law.
Resolved, further, that to legalize
prize fighting in this state will have a
demoralizing influence and make this
state one of the few, only wherein the
same is permitted;
Resolved, further, that Sunday base
ball and theatres stimulate irreligion
and disregard of the Sabbath and
should not be encouraged;
Resolved, further, that to adopt any
of said measures would be a step back
wards in the progress of good govern
ment and prejudicial to American
ideals.

River Rats Win Oysters From Hill
Ril1ioS

The River Rats, which include all Of
the curriers' on the north side of the
Mouse River, have won the schedule
from the Hill Billies and will thereby
be enabled to enjoy real feed at the
expense of their less fortunate, tho
none the less skillful brothers. The
Hill Billies were several points ahead
until by the turn Of the tickle wheel of
fortune, the Rats nosed out with two
games and 10 points ahead. Strange
as it may seem, the Rats also won the
contest for securing the highest score,
21, in any game, for which they will
enjoy box of cigars at the expense
Of the vanquished. The curling season
is practically over due to the warm
weather. The curriers' say they may
have few more games. The River
Rats are endeavoring to get the Hill
Billies to declare the contest at an end.
A. M. Thompson has won the most
games in the last series, but the cham.
pionship lies between Thompson, Dill
and Kermott.
