Degoutte, commanding the Ruhr.

his governments intention The other
day when talking to correspondents at
Dusseldorf. He said new sanctions

retaliation for Berlin's order TO post

Before the week had ended the
French had closed the last avenue for
the shipment of coal from the Ruhr to
unoccupied Germany, and had seized
the Ruhr customs, replacing with their
own men such German officials as re
fused TO work under them. OBJECTIONS
from the German customs personnel
were reported by the French 10 be 10
per cent and by the Germans to he

of German officials In both the Ruhr
and the Rhlneland were arrested and
deported. Thousands of mine workers
were imported from France. Poland.

railway men nearly tied up traffic sud
brought about great shortage Of coal

about 80 per cent Of normal. but even
so the accumulations at the pit heads
could not be moved and the French
authorities admitted the mines might
have to be shut down before many
days. Foodstuffs in the occupied region
are becoming alarmingly scarce hut
the French probably will organize mo-
tor trains If they cannot get the rail-
ways In operation. They are selling
all the German automobiles they can
find. and also have seized the stocks of
mineral water, petroleum, benzol,
spirits, and tobacco in the large mer-
chandise warehouses. The Introduction

to advocate the election of public Of
ficials who favor prohibition and to
defeat candidates who are opposed to

discord and religious bigotry," and
that its state superintendent, William

FORMER REC
TORS PROPERTY
in COURT

Lambertville-- A formre rector of st.
Andrews Church, who died here in
1875, unwittingly left problem for
the present generation that threatens
to deprive a number of Jacksonville
Florida, families of their homes. The
rector was Rev. David Brown. In 1861
he was called to be rector of St. AM
drew's. He came here firm Jacksonville
where he had been rector of st. Johns
Church in that city.
While in Jacksonville, DR.. Brown
purchased farm on the outskirts of
the city, and lived on it for many
years. When he came to this city he
sold the farm. The rapid growth of
Jacksonville took in the property and
it was soon divided into town lots. In
dividual purchasers have built homes
on the lots, which they have occupied
ever since.
But due To one of the many freaks
of the law, this property is now con-
tested on the grounds that the title
deed made by Dr. Brown were no
good. If this claim can be established,
hundreds of innocent families will be
deprived of their homes. The lawyers
defending these property owners have
written to DIR. Thomas J, Bensley the
present rector of st. Andrews. asking
if he can supply any information that
will help defed them in the defense of
their homes. DIR. Besley has addressed
the following letter to this paper, ask
ing that if anyone happens to be in
possessio of knowledge of the mat
ter, that they communicate with him.
st. Andrews Rectory
February 9th, 1928
To the Editor:
Would you be so kind as to help me
procure information, if at all possible,
with regard to the Rev, David Brown,
former rector of st. Andrews?
have been appealed to by Messrs
Knight & Adair, lawyers of Jackson
vile, to try and obtain information
or any papers regarding the Rev.
David Brown which might throw light
upon his residence in Jacksonville. The
claim now being made, is successful
ly sustained will unhouse many fami-
lies and be the cause of much suffer
ing. The lawyers write me that whilst
they know that the claim is unjust, it
will be necessary to have docmen-
tary evidence to fight it in court.
As all my endeavors to locate in
formation have, up to the present,
been fruitless, am asking you, in the
caus Of justice, to kindly assist me in
proecutng inquiries, and know that
you can reach many more than can.
Fraternally yours,
tSigned) Thomas J. Bensley,

The idea OF cutting down on the
number Of styles has reduced the
task of both manufacturer and re-
taller. As n result both are in n hap

have been cut down to the minimum.
The ~vari-colored tops Inc the two
toned effects OF past seasons have
been shelved for the time being with
little promise OF q return for a long,

Naturally there will be n few freak

in the minority. Black lowers with
tan or brown uppers have gon into

shoe or oxfords will lead the van.
Cordovan leather, which onc was
the vogue, also has taken a back
seat, despite its wonderful quality

MAJOR PROGRAM

Social Registration Bureau
One of the first accomplishments of the
Association of Commerce was the organ
ization of Social Registration Bureau
in conjunction with Burleigh County, city
of Bismarck and the Burleigh county
chapter of the American Red Cross So
ciety. In addition to support from these
organizations assistance has been given
by the various civic and fraternal organ
izations.
The object of this bureau which func-
tons through the Red Cross office is to
centralize charitable work and afford a.
clearing house for community effort
along this line eliminating duplication
and making more efficient all efforts to-
ward alienation of those in need of tenn
porary relief.
An accurate record Of all applications
for relief and cases acted upon is kept.
Each case is investigated by trained So
cial worker and duringsthe few months
of it's existence this Bureau has coordi-
mated charity work in Burleigh County.
