AMONG THE FIRST AMERICANS TO GO Capt. A. A. Jones, former chief dis- patcher at this point for the Soo line, and one of the first two Bismarck men to receive commissions in the United States quartermaster department, lies in a French base hospital with both arms in plaster casts as a result of wounds sustained November 14. News to this effect was reccived Thursday. Captain Jones after recctving his commission spent several months in service at Fort Snelling, and he had been at the front only a short time when he was wounded. News of his injuries have been more than a month in coming. The gallant North Dakota officer was very prominent in Bismarck af- fairs during his long residence here, and he is an able railway executive, standing very nigh in his examina- tions for a mmission.

Living Costs " Delicious—Satistying— Strictly Sanitary Ceoks In 8 Minutes GUNNING FOR PIG GETS TWO MEN IN BAD WITH LAW A 600-pound porker owned by Gott- leib Huber, residing at the foot of Third street, returned to the primitive last Sunday. morning when it burst out of its pen and struck out for the bottoms. Unable to lure the pig back home again, Gottleib took down his trusty rifle and decided to go boar hunting. About the same time John Mosszrucker and George Goldader descended to the bottoms in quest of radbits. John heard a loug grunt, and he blazed away at the course of the sound, and the Huber hog was no more. John and George then consult: ed together; found it impossible to haul his piglet home in. their light buggy, drove into town; returned with some bobs; hauled the porker yack; ‘skinned him, and hanged his carcass in a barn. Huber got wind of these facts, and set Big Chief Martineson on the trail of his pork-chops. Chris located the pork in Goldader's barn, and Goldader was arrested. Just prior to the latter's arraignment in police court yesterday, ne was handed a tele- gram delivered by John Moss2rucker |Big Chris, “his curiosity aroused, “snooped” while Goldader was read- ing his message, and made out the following: “Hello kid: Got the rig and everything out of the way so be care- ful yhat you say and wait for me to come up. there for the hearing.” Whereupon Chris arrested Mr. Moss- brucker as an accomplice. Goldader proceeded to make a complete confes- sion, declaring Mossbrucker did the shooting while George had his back turned, and that the pig belonged to Moss 2rucker. Mossbrucker after pleading with Huber and finding him stoney-hearted, waived examniation and was bound over with Mossbruck- er to district court to answer a charge of larceny. Mr. Huber has the pig. Runaway Caught. Harry Baker, committed from York to the staio industrial school, ba came dissatisticd with the monotony of life there beat it Wednesday night. He w far as Wilton and then came back !o Bismarck, where he was picked up by ‘a watchful of- ficer. Harry is only 17 and he will go back to Governor Devine's institution to serve out the remainder of his sen- tence. Pool ‘Room Violation.

Establishment of ownership of the stock yards is only the first of the tasks before the commission, which plans to continue its investigation into every branch of the country’s meat supply and the alleged control of the meat food of 100,000,000 people by five principal groups of packers. The commission’s report will be made the basis for recommendations that additiona) legislation be enacted to remedy the situation, if found nec- essary, and any evidence of law breaking will be turned over to the de- partment of justice. It has been stated that subpoenas will not be issued for representatives of the packers, a step which might give them immunity in any subse- quent prosecutions. Organizations of the Chicago stock yards company, under the laws of Maine, alleged to have been for the purpose of providing a legal method for the payment of millions in “pick- ings” or rebates to the packing plants by the Chicago junction railways and Union Stock Yards company of New Jersey, occupied Frances J. Henry, special counsel, and the witnesses called today at the first of a series of open hearings. Other witnesses tomor- row will be asked to tell what they know of J. Ogden Armour and F. H. Prince, of Boston, obtaining control of the Junction Railways company which was organized by Prince, and turning it over to the Stock Yards company. F. W. Croll, confidential secretary to Mr. Aromur, is expected to testify. THE MARKETS.

RED CROSS How Broad Is the Red Cross? It is as broad as the skill of the surgeon in the story of lessening pain. How Long Is the Red Cross? ‘As long as the nurse’s vigil watching the wingless hours. How Deep Is the Red Cross? As deep as the Valley of the Shadow of Death, when it bears multitudes of the peaks of life. How High Is the Red Cross? As high as human resolve that needless suffering and pain and death shall cease even in war. As broad‘as the ocean under the transporl’s keel. As long as the trenches where they stand guard. As deep as the love that embraced them and then bade them go. As high as the throne whither prayers for them ascend. This is the breadth and length and depth and height of the Red Cross. It is fitting, therefore, that it should be linked with the approaching birthday of Him in whose childhood and life and death heaven touched earth and Mercy and Truth embraced. rites neti i Make it a Mercy Christmas. po aw 6d bak andl! President Wilson’s Red Cross Christmas’ Proclamation . : THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington To the People of the United States: EN MILLION Americans are invited to join the Ameri- T can Red Cross during the week ending with Christ- mas Eve. The times require that every branch of our great ‘national effort shall be loyally upheld and it is pecu- liarly fitting that at the Christmas Season the Red Cross should be the branch through which your willingness to help is expressed. ; You should join the American Red Cross because it alone can carry the pledges of Christmas good-will to those who are bearing for us‘the real burdens of the world war, both in our own Army and Navy, and in the nations upon whose territory the issues of the world are being fought out. The evidence of faith in this work is necessary for their heartening and cheer. You should join the Red Cross because this arm of the National Service is steadily and efficiently maintaining its overseas relief in every suffering land, administering our millions wisely and well, and awakening the gratitude of every people. Our consciences’ will not let us enjoy the Christmas Season if this pledge of support to our cause and the world’s weal is teft unfulfilled. Red Cross membership is the Christ- mas spirit in terms of action. i (Signed) WOODROW WILSON, President of the American Red Cross.
