TO SOLDIER BOYS SAT BIC PAGEANT 10. |Maior Henry STAGED AT CAPITAL GIT From Three to Five in the After- noon Slope Will Pay Tribute . to Nation’s Defenders COMMUNITY DANCING ON STREETS IN THE EVENING All Available Troops and Drafted Men Will Take Part Spectacle m Bismarck's appreciation of the ser- vices rendered by the enlisted men and those drafted will be expressed next Saturday afternoon from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. in one of the most signi-j ficant military pageants ever held on the slope. This demonstration will also be in the nature of a farewell to the troops who within a short time will be mov- ing to training camps or mobilization points preparatory to service abroad. Because the detachment of troops stationed at lort Lincoln and quar- tered in Bismarck will leave at dif- ferent times and go in different direc- tions, it will be hard to stage a wel- come at the time of departure. Rather than miss an opportunity to show ap- preciation for the sacrifices these fine; lads in khaki are making, the Com- mercial Club has arranged for a milt- tary -pageant. Start on Arrangements. Secretary George N. Keniston start- ed on arrangements yesterday and en- listed as his aides, R. M. Vergeson, kev. Buzzelle and &. C. Wanner. A Pressing invitation is extended to neighboring towns to send large dele- gations to ‘Bismarck. In addition to the military parade there will be com- munity dancing on Erpadway. Two blocks will be roped off and the music will be furnished by the Sccond Regi- ment band of Harvey. All available troops will march to- gether with the drafted. men who are urged to get in touch with Mr. Kenis- ton or some member of the commit- tee. They +are -waptad in the fine. Even though ydu have not been called to the colors if you are among those whose numbers were dtawh for. ser- vice, you shopld get in line and march with the chlisted, ‘forces or those called to the colors. Merchants are asked to decorate] ; their places of business with the na- tional colors and homes shotld be ap- propriately decorated so that when the visitors from other towns reach the city, they will see a blaze of Old Glory. It is to be a great patriotic demon- stration. The Slope has been active- ly engaged in Red Cross work. It has furnished the hospital corps of the First regiment with an ambulance and raised thousands of dollars for company mess funds. These acts are well known, but what the boys should have now is a rousing demonstration to make them realize that their communities back them and that its loyalty as well as its dollars will follow them to the front. None of this generation has had an opportunity to attend a pageant of this significance and it is hoped that every section of the Slope will be rep- resented. Major Wright is lending all possible assistance to the civilian commiltee and every commissioned officer is co- operating to render the pageant a success. It is hoped to have Col. White and Col. Fraine participate in the parade divisions of which will be headed by the Second Regiment band and the battalion band at Fort Lincoln. Governor Frazier has consented to act together with his military staff. A feature of the parade will be two large flags, one carried by forty ooys and the other by forty girls appro- priately costumed. There will be serveral floats repre- senting Red Cross and relief work. h will be necessary to secure the co-op- eration of the citizens as it is expect- ed that this celebration will bring a number of guests to the city taxing hotel and rooming facilities. LABOR ALONE CAN WIN WAR Trenton, N. J., Aug. 30.—“Labor alone can swing the door that opens to success for the Uniied ‘states and her allies in the giant struggle to save the world from imperial encroachment and military enslavement,” is the statement of Governor W. E. Edge inj a Labor day proclamation issued here} today. Through the unselfish devotion and patriotic sacrifice of labor at the mill, at the farm, at the home, on the field, or ships afar, government by the peo- ple shall endure and without this de- votion government by the people must perish,” declared the governor. SPIRITUALISTS MEET. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 30.—Dele- gates from all sections of the state are attending the conference of the Minnesota Spiritualist association in session here. i} Retires From Land Office Efficient State Commissioner Com- pletes Four Years’ Good fervico for State PRATER SCHEDULED TO FILL THE BERTH cx Appointed—Retiring Of- ficial Goes to War When Major Frank his deck tomorrow evening he will have completed four years’ service as North Dakota land commissioner and will relinquish his keys to his succes- sor, who will be William J.

He commanded the first battalion on the Mexican border in 1916-1917, and in the record of battalion tests in which every battalion in the Browns- ville district participated the first battalion of the First North Dakota received a higher mark than any oth- er. Recently Major Henry attended a two-months’ hool of musketry at Fort Sill, Okla, in which a four- months’ course was given ,including machine gun work, and he graduated August 1, making him the best formed. officer in the North Dakota service in all points of modern war- fare. . As Land Commissioner. Frank S.. Henry was.a member of the firm of Henry & Henry at Valley City, handling land loans, fire insur- ance and abstracting, when Governor Hanna appointed him land commis- sioner four years ago. He brought to his new duties ripe experience ana thorough training in the important de- tails of land loans and the real estate bsuiness generally. During the four vears of his administration of the | North Dakota land office not a single detail of the work has been slighted.
