back in Mandan from his trip to
Indianapolis, where he went with

department commanders and adju-

national commander.
The conference dealt with the
fivefold national program of the Le-

organization will throw all it's en-
ergy into gaining legislative aid for
the disabled veterans of the World
war, into promoting child welfare
work and Americanization, support
ing the navy's building program and
urging universal draft. The legisla-

The child welfare work will deal
largely with the care of orphaned
children whose parents served in the
war and died in the service or since
then. Education for these will be
stressed, said Commander Kennedy.
characterization will deal with
teaching the adopted citizens the
principles of Americanism.
Commander Kennedy attended

Good Fellow time is at hand in
Bismarck, with Christmas two weeks
off. Preparation to discharge the
privileges of the cause is essential
now. The time has come to enroll.
What is required to become a Good
Fellow is to get in contact with the
Community Christmas committee of
the Association of Commerce and
enlist to make some family happy
during Christmas. There always are
some temporarily in need and, Of all
times to be in this plight, Christmas
is the most poignant.
Contact may be made with the
committee by filling out a blank and
turning it in to the Association of
Commerce. The idea is that these
cases should be attended to privately,
between the Good Fellow and the
worthy family, All cases will be in
vestigatcd by the Bismarck Regis
tration bureau.
Miss Mary Cashcl, secretary Of the
bureau, is making out the usual
cards, showing what the families to
be aided need, and these cases will
be referred to the Good Fellows, so
that they may know exactly what
sort of Christmas cheer will meet
the needs of each family best.

and sent to the Association of Com

MOTHER OF FIVE
ASKS CITY AID
Commissioners Hear Plea of
Deserted Wife Who Can't
Get Mothers Pension

The city commissions business,
Monday night, was almost entirely
in the nature Of money matters. A
long list Of claims against the city
was approved. Also the bond Of
Fred j. Dicks, in the amount Of
$1,000, to back his plumbing license.
The matter Of placing lights at
the corner Of Eighth and D and at
Eleventh and E was brought up and
discussed and the proposal was au-
thorized.
Joseph Coghlan appeared before
the commissioners to appeal for aid
for deserted mother with five chill
dren whose ages run from 4 to 13.
She has been trying to get . moth
er's pension, but so far has failed,
and she was under the impression it
was because she had no divorce. She
wanted the commissioners to back
her application or to extend some
help, as she wants to keep her little
ones together. Her income is very
light-tne wages Of hotel servant
and some OF her kin have been as
sisting her bit, but they have FAM
lilies that require their income, it
was stated. According to the appli-
cant, her mair trouble has been red
tape which she has been unable to
cut.
Auditor Atkin-on said the city
had been going pretty deeply into
its relief fund. With the winter
just about beginning, there has been
spent S2b0O OF the $500 appro-
priated.
Finally it was decided to have

there are not enough produced Of
the desirable kinds to fill the de-
mand. When a farmer must 60 out
and drive the country for an animal,
he usually buys the first that he
gets, because i. takes too much time

caution among the rs cooperating

Being high-priccd, no special effort

were bought and these were all

Example of How 1t Pays
How it pays to raise sheep is de.
scribed in an example set forth ir

Due to the fact that only 80 per CEN
