TAPS AND FINAL VOLLEY
FOR UPHAM SOLDIER BOY

A scene of unusual solemnity-
memory arousing and heart breaking
was witnessed when the remains of
Alfred T. Kongslie, who made the su-
preme sacrifice on the battle fields
of France in the fall of 1918, were
brought to Upham on Monday, Sept.
9th, by Private Whittier, and laid
to rest in Upham cemetery5on We'd
nesday, Sept. goth, 1920, surrounded
by a multitude of sorrowing relatives
and friends. Rev. Wanberg of Towner
conducted the services at the church,
and all the ~ex-service men in the
community were present in uniform
and followed the remains of their
comrade to his last resting place and
took part in the final services by
sounding taps and firing a volley
"o'er the grave where our hero we
buried"-one of our young men who
freely gave his life in the cause of
freedom for oppression-in order that
his country and our country and we
might live in peace and in freedom of
tyranny. A hero he was indeed, and
his memory shall live or end on tho
his body lies cold and still beneath
the sod of yonder grave yard.
And what nobler fact than this can
man leave behind him: He gave his
life for his country, leaving the world
better than he found it.
Deceased was born on April 25rd
1889, and lived most Of his life in
this community. In May, 1918, he ans
wered his country's call and was soon
sent over seas. Alfred belonged to Co.
F., 18TH Infantry, and on October TIN
1918, was reported missing in action.
Later on he was reported as having
died, after being unconscious o
about three weeks, on Nov. 8, 1918,
of meningitis at base hospital No. B.
in Savenay, France, where ne was re-
ceiving treatment for a gun shot
wound in the head, and was buried
with military honors on November 9TH
in the American cemetery NO. ~.
There are left to mourn his loss:
his mother, Mrs. T. S. Kongslie; three
sisters, Mrs. E. H. Moen, Mrs. 5. 3.
Fea and Miss Aneta Kongslie, all OF
Upham; and brothers Torvil, John
and George of Upham, Christ, OF

patty is extended.

IS OLDEST MILITARY BOOK
Organization Of Knights Of Windsor,
Still In Existence, Was Founded
~ by King Edward III.

The Military Knights Of Windsor ID
the Oldest military body in the world,
having been founded by Edward III
from the veterans Of Crecy and Polo
tiers, originally having had the prefix
"Sir." They are now selected by the
king from the old regular. officers Of
the British army.
The Windsor knights are pictur-
esque old gentlemen, their uniforms
consisting Of a scarlet coat with gold
epaulets. Their somewhat expansive
waists are dashed round with a Grim
son sash and they have a very dandy
looking cross-belt of white leather, on
which is a br%eastplate embossed with
the garter arms. the garter sword
hanging from the belt. There is a
bright crimson stripe on the outside of
their trousers. Their hats are the
most luxuriant creation Of feathers,
plumes and cockades. r."
The duties Of these old warriors
are not now very exacting. At one
time they were bound to attend the
chapel Of st. George at Windsor twice
a day. Their devotional duties were
later reduced to their presence at d.
vine service only once a week and on
the birthdays of certain members Of
the royal family. The strength Of the
corps at the present time is only IS,
which consists of 10 knights of the
upper foundation and five in the lower.

GOT RID OF MALCoNTENTs
Pilgrim Fathers Had a Highly Effec-
tive Way Of Dealing With the COL
ony's UndesirabIes.

Deportation of "undesirables" is not
an innovation, in this country. The
Pilgrim Fathers, confronted with the
problem of dealing with ~malcontents
among them, shipped the disgruntled
ones overseas. Governor Bradford's
story Of the Plymouth colony shows
how things were done in those days.
According to Bradford's story the
"reds" in the Plymouth colony were
represented by John Liford and John
Oldham, who c%onspired together, both
against the church, and the govern
ment of the colony, endeavoring to en-
tice others with them. Oldham re-
fused duty when called upon by Cap
tain Standish, whereupon it was deter
mined to place Oldham and Liford on
trial, all the members of the colony
being present. They were convicted,
the court ordering them expelled from
the colony, both being deported ulti-
mately.

ony and created Il serious breach OF

POULTRY SHOW AND SALE

Those wishing to enter Poultry for
the coming Show and Sale to be held
in Bottineau will be governor by the
following rules:
SHOW: Birds will be shown in two
general classes; Single birds and
breeding pens. Birds entered in pens
will be eligible to compete for single
prizes. Breeding pens will consist of
n male and four females. Cockerals
and pullets will be judged separately
from adult birds. If entering pens,
for the sake of uniformity enter cocks
and hens and cockerals and pullets,
that is, don't mix adult birds with
young in the same pens.
A judging committee will place all
awards and the American Standard of
Perfection will be the guide.
Express charges must be paid by
exhibitors.
Birds will be fed and taken care of
by The Poultry Association.
A consignment fee of S1.00 will be
charged. This will give the exhibitor
or those who enter birds for sale a
years membership in the Bottineau
County Poultry Association, and en-
title them to show or sell their birds.
Let every poultry fancier in the coun-
ty join and make our Association the
best and biggest of any county poul-
try association in North Dakota.
LIMIT A limit of 10 males will be
allowed in all standard bred chickens,
cocks or cockerals, or combination of
both. No limit on females. Gobblers
or young Toms will be limited to 5
from each breeder, and same with
ganders and brakes. No limit will be
placed on females. There will be no
restrictions to taking orders for stock
or eggs for next spring setting after
sale is held. Belgian hares or Flem-
ish Giants will be accepted on same
basis as poultry and we hope to have
a good display of these animals.
First, Second and Third prize rib
bons will be given, and perhaps a
sweepstakes prize. We hope that our
association will grow to the extent
that another year good money prizes
can be given but give US a boost this
year and prepare for big things of
the future. We suggest that pur-
chasers of fowl also join our. Poultry
Association.
Poultry will be sold at auction, ex-
cept those entered for exhibition only.
Look over your flock of chickens,
turkeys, ducks, geese and hares and
make a consignment. We trust that
entrants will be able to bring their
stock in by auto, but in case of snow,
coop and ship by express, charges pre-
paid, to the secretary.
Show will be held at the Bottineau
Commercial Club room.
Entries close at 10 A. NJ. of the
9th of November.

The faculty will attend the meeting

Thus only three days of school work
will be lost. There are several men

gram and a good meeting is antic-
ipated. The National Education Asso-
ciaticn has been reorganized as to
provide for state memberships. Each
state will send delegates to the nation

meetings will hereafter represent the
entire country rather than the local
ity where the meeting may chance to
be held. Too often ~"packed" meetings
have most unwholesomely controlled

There will be a general teachers
meeting at the Normal school Thurs

TO THE WOOL GROWERS
OF BOTTINEAU COUNTY

There is a tendency among wool
growers to dispose of their flocks this
fall. Presuming that this is due to
the drop in prices Of sheep on the
MARKET would urge all who feel in
clined to sell to think twice before
doing so. n >
The depression in prices is general
in all farm products, in fact, is great
err in grain than in sheep. This how
ever, does not keep US from planning
our next years grain crop. Those who
have pastures fenced for sheep will
agree with me that no crop is pro-
duced with less work and expense.
This together with the fact that
most of US are facing winter with
more feed than we had last year,
should encourage the keeping Of all
good breeding stock.
Through the efforts Of the County

Association and State Federation, I
still think we al market our wool at
a price that will make that product
n Of the most profitable we have
raised this year.
To many the wool industry is a
new thing by keeping in the business
they will be able to reap the benefits
Of these organizations not only in
marketing their wool, but also in
learning to care for their flocks, con-
trolling disease etc. e."
More experienced men are still con-
WINGED that wool growing shall re-
main a permanent industry on their
farms. Rather than see beginners
dropping out it seems a good time for
others to go into the business as the
amount invested in a band now, would
be comparatively small.
