When“he returned to North Dakota he took the liberty of writing to her and she replied.

SCORES OF TOW MILLS WILL BE BUILT IN STATE Freight Congestion Makes It Im- portant That Bulk of Flax Straw Be Reduced Scores of small tow mills are be- ing projected for North Dakota. ‘These mills will be relied upon to in fees; 1,498 motorcycles, $4,494; 150 changes of reg $150; 196 sets of duplicate tags, $196; 950 sets of dealers’ extra tags, $475. An important item which never be fore has appeared, is $12,585 derived from the sale of 839 dealers’ licenses at $15 per annum, provided for hy the new autqmobile registration law, which is now partially in effect. Jan- uary 1 there was a balance in the automobile registration fund of ‘but $116.88, comapred with the bal ance of $20,761.05 June 30, The special agents employed by Secretary of State Hall used “@uring the} first haJf, year, $459.58 wort of mileage andi recéived $014.07 40. cover their expense accounts; $454.58 ‘was spent by the automobilq registration department for furniture and fixtures, and $442.13 for printing, stationery and supplies. AUDITOR STICKEN HAS REEL ROMANCE IN WOOING MATE ¢ BLP Gaul Mibhs July) 18—The mar- nage of Herman J. Sti¢ken, a wealthy rancher of Hettinger, N. D., former sheriff in that district, to Miss Grace R. Brandt, a St. Paul society girl, is soon to take place, it was announced today. The wedding will be the cul- mination of a romance, according to friends of the couple. Mr. Sticken saw Miss Brandt in a car at the state To the Wife of One'Who Drinks I have, an, important confidential message for you. It will come in a plain envelope.

Show this to others. convert the 3,000,000 tons of flax straw which annually are wasted into North Dakota, into a commercial tow, valued last year at $25 the ton, f. 0. b. St. Paul, and more this year. The ordinary tow, in which about 50 per cent of the woody portion of the flax straw is removed, is used by large insulating companies in the Twin Cities, at Winona and other northwestern points for the manufac- ture of lining and insulating materi- als. In other years the practice has been to buy the straw in North Da- kota and ship it to the milling point. This year, however, freight conges- tion demands the bulk ‘be reduced to a minimum, and the opportunity of reducing the weight by 50 per cent by staging the first milling opera- tion at the point where the straw originates appeals to the manufac- turers. North Dakota wil gain the difference between flax straw worth $3 to $5 the ton delivered at the track and flax tow, worth $25 or more, and will also conserve the flax shives, or woody ‘bark, which, mixed with oats and other grains, makes an excellent stock food. The Red River valley is lined with wrecks of tow mill enterprises start- ed in'the early days, but at that time tow ias not worth 50 per cent of the present price. ' North Dakota’s flaw acreage is largér than it has been in ten years, and’ with half an average crop, the tow ‘industry will become quite an important one. EMERGENCY COMINISSION APPROPRIATES EXPENSE MONEY FOR DEFENDERS North Dakota's national defense council was given offictal recognition yesterday, when'the state emergency commission appropriated $500 for its support. At the same time, the com- mission declined to make a transfer which would provide the state ‘board vf'regents, which is at outs with the adniinistration, with traveling ' ex- penses. The item for traveling ex- penses in the board's ‘biennial appro- priation was vetoed by the governor, and as a result the members are paying their own way. See Bergeson’s adv.

WILLISTON AND MINOT WILL BE GIVEN FLING Beginning tonight, when the local team tackles the strong Coleharbor aggregation in the latter’s debut on the local diamond, the Bismarck man- agement has arranged a stiff schedule for the balance of the scason. To- morrow night the Champs tackle the Co. H team of Jamestown, which has ‘been strengthened ‘by other stars from the Second battalion, and for the ensuing week the following games have been scheduled for the local grounds: July 21—Halliday vs. Bismarck. July 22—Halliday vs. Bismarck. July 27—New Rockford ys. Bis- marck. July 28—New Rockford vs. Bis- marck. July marck. 29.—New Rockford vs Bis- Minot and Williston. Efforts are being made to ‘bring both Minot and Williston to Bismarck for a series of games. In_prepara- tion for these contests, the Bismarck management has procured tha serv- ices of Jimmy Grant, who was with Des Moines Western league club un- til recently. Grant is a southpaw with a world of speed and a good head, and he should bolster up the local pitching staff considerably. “Dutch” Dames, who last year proved the best hitter on the crack Herreid, S. D., club, has also signed with Bismarck. He is a left-handed hitter and a fast fielder, who should greatly strength- en_the Jocal line-up. Bismarck also is angling for Joe Collins, star center-fielder of last year's invincible aggregation. Joe has ‘been playing With LaCrosse in the Cantral association, and the Champs hope to have him here for the Halli- day games. From now on to the end of the sea- son, Bismarck fans may look for some real ‘baseball. The team now being hammered into shape is undoubtedly the ‘best independent aggregation ever organized in North Dakota. viet ud Wj HOTTEST DAY OF SUMMER TODAY-:COOLER TOMORROW This is the hottest day of the sum: mer!

FEDERATED LABOR - ROUT SOCIALISTS W CONVENTION ~ Faribault, Minn., July 18.—Cries of “treason” punctuated debate on radi- cal resolutions which were finally re- jected by a vote of 220 to 80 at the convention of Minnesota Federation of Labor. The resolutions included a paragraph condemning alleged em- ployment of non-union labor in build- ing cantonments in Ft. Snelling and during the argument on them D. V. Vandenbergh of Minneapolis implored the delegates to take a firm and whole-hearted stand against a govern- ment that is crushing out the lives of our workmen.” Delegates in the vari- ous parts of the hall shouted “trea son” and President. Hall directed Mr. Vandenbergh. to confine his remarks w the pubj L.. The resolutions were backed! by *..Méene, fgrmer social- ist’ candidal gftor shavon/ 0 St. Paul, and others. 7 bs They demanded repeal of the law which established, the state safety public commission and threatened a state-wide strike if it were not abol- ished; demanded ,the government to tell what the war is about and en- dorsed the stand said to have been taken by the Nonpartisan league rela- tive to conscription of the wealth of, the nation.

MORE THAN THIRD OF JEWISH FUNDS ALREADY PLEDGED Many Bismarck People Subscribe to Great European Relief Work EFFORT MADE TO FINISH LIST BY SATURDAY NIGHT More than a third of Bismarck’s $3,000 quota of North Dakota’s $25,000 subscription toward the relief of suf- fering Jews in the European war zone has been pledged, Alex Rosen, secre- tary of the local committee, an- nounced today. Many Bismarck peo- ple have subscribed liberally, and oth- ers have promised pledges. Secretary Rosen requests that all pledges be in his hands not later than Saturday night, by which time the committee Support Is General. Support of the movement here, as in other cities, is confined to no one race or creed.
