Burns is probably the north- west’s most powerful preacher, and he is a man who is known through- out America 1 wonderfully gifted orator. His lecture tonight is on a subject in which everyone is inter- ested at this time.

Anderson, a prominent Wilton farmer and father of Richard Francis Anderson, who succumbed to pneu- monia at Camp Dodge, where he had been assigned to non-combatant serv- ice, was in the city last week. Mr. Anderson feels that the memory of his son has ‘been dene an injustice in some of the news stories published commenting on his attitude toward military service. Mr. Anderson de- clares that his son was truly a con- scientious objector; that it was against his religious convictions to fight, and that he would have died rather than fight, but he was not a slacker, nor did he defy his country. “I don’t want any. other man to have to go in my place,” said the young man when urged to claim ex- emption on agricultural grounds. “He could easily have been exempted on agricultural grounds, 1 believe,” said Mr. Anderson in speaking of his sén’s case. “Richard was a_ successful farmer. For 10 years he had had full charge of the place, as my sight was so poor that I could do nothing. He miade a success of the business and had laid aside several thousand dol- lars, every penny of which he gave away to worthy cat when he knew he was about to die. But he refused fo claim exemption as a. farmer. A letter which he wrote the adjutant general, explaining his convicticns re- garding war, was forwarded to Secre- tary Baker, and Kichard received from the secretary of war a nice letter, as- suring him’that his convictions would be respected and that he would be as- signed to non-comattant service. As soon as he had this assurance, Rich- ard was ready to go. He was nicely treated at Camp Dodge. His captain respected his principles, and Richard died with nothing’but the kindest of feelings toward everyone. “I knew the boy as no one ‘else did, and I know that he was honest in his convictions. He believed war. was wrong, and nothing could have made him fight. He was not a slack-| er, though, and he never intended that his stand should be construed as de flance of the government, There was never a boy who thought more of his country nor who would have done more for his flag, but he was deeply teligious, and his views on the sub- ject of war were so firmly fixed that nothing could change them. He died with the respect of everyone who knew him, and his funeral was the largest we ever have had in our com- munity.” CASTORIA For Infants and Children : In Use For Over 30 Years TOWNLEY CONSUMER STORE PLAN HAS INVADED Big Promoter Pla The Townley chain store scheme ts coming very near home. Announce- ment is made that a chain store is to be established at Wing in August. Neretofore, our nearest chain s neihgbor has been located at Garrison. Anent the Wing proposition, C. A.

It apparently is rather ‘scarce. Comparatively tew farmers have list- ed seed at the pure seed laboratory. “North Dakota's acreagé seeded last year was 965,000, This was 53 per cent of the entire acreage lant- ‘ed in the United States. ‘North Da- kota will probably want sced for at least a million acres this year. The season is early, and much spring plow- ing and stubble working will yet be done. There is probably a large amount of old corn lands and— un- plowed lands in the Red River val- ley and elsewhere which has not been seeded to wheat, and which the grow- ers will not be able to get ready for oats and barley. aa “The call for flax seed will there- fore be large because the farmers will have time to get tho ground prepared for this crop and‘ if the ground is properly prepared for this crop of flax it will make a splendid seed bed for wheat next year. However, if it is doubtful in the minds of many wheth- cr there is seed available and prop- erly distributed to sow the million or more acres that should be seeded in order to furnish the crop necessary to supply the needs. even of the gov- ernment, not considering the other domestic needs. There are perhaps many farmers who, because busy, have not sent in their flax seed samples in- to the laboratory for test and listing. There is also probably a considerable supply of suitable seed in the local elevators. “The pure seed laboratory is estab- lished to help in this matter, All those who have fla think is suitable for seed sowing pur- poses should send in to the Pure Sced laboratory samples at the earliest pos- sible date. Send us approximately one-half pound which fairly represents the condition in which you expect to sell the seed. -Let us know how many bushels you have available, and if the seed is suitable for sale as seed for sowing either cleaned or uncleaned we will be able to put in touch with those who wish to buy. “We will gladly examine and report upon any samples which anyone has in mind of buying whether it be for wse on their own land or for sale and distribution to other people for sowing We wil test those sam- ples as speedily as possible and re- port their quality.” Py NOTED \ WOMAN WORKER TALKS HERE TONIGHT Mrs. E.
