The young wo- men ‘hope to realize from the event funds sufficient to provide for the adoption and one'year’s care of a num- ‘ber of French kiddies whose fathers paid on the field of honor the su- preme price for freedom for the world. The big state armory, whose floor M. J. O'Connor has placed in perfect condition for dancing, will be the scene of the hop, O'Connor's orches- tra will furnish the music, and dan- cing will begin. at 9. N. A. Sathro of the Hoffman candy shop will be in charge of the refeshments, which sill include everything from circus lemon- ade to the most complicated futurist. sundae, and 25 per cent of the gross Evening proceeds will be contributed to the Fatherless French Children fund, The girls will otfer for sale carnival hats, canes, confetti and other fun-making devices, the proceeds from which will go to the same cause. The price of admjssion will be only $1 per couple, with charge of 25 cents for extra la- dies. It will be one of the real nice dances of the season, and a cordial in- vitation is extended everyone to turn out, join in the fun and contribute ;something to the care of the little ifolks overseas whose chances of grow- ing u pto be useful men and women of France depend to a large extent up- /on the generosity of Americans, { The canteen girls in charge of the \dance include _ Misses —_ Dorothy !Schnecker, Hattie Saetre, Margaret ; Wynkoop, Dorothy Pilmore, Beatrice McQuillan, Margaret Kelley, Kathryn | Griffin, Kathryn. McGarvey and Mary | Schroeder. These young women have done a noble work during the last year. Bismarck can best express its appreciation by packing the armory to- morrow evening. The'advance sale of tickets has been large, but there will be plenty of room and a hearty wel- ccme for all who come tomorrow eve- ning. PR nnn piri im errr SERVICE IS LIFE’S GOAL, DR. G. B,. RICHARDSON INFORMS BISMARCK HIGH GRADUATING CLASS OF 719 Not wealth, nor wisdom, nor happi- ness, nor.intellectuality are life’s goa!, Dr. Georgé B. Richardson of the First Baptist church | advised the Bismarck high school graiuating clase! inthe.) annual’ baccalaureate’ address: atthe Auditorium dh ‘Sutiday afternoon | / “The! gréatésti> happiness \ comes through wiselfish services,” stated the divine. “In “dll ages ‘seifishness has been a. flame consuming society, a sword working ruin in civilization, a - poison killing the churches. “Members of the graduating class, use stumbling blocks as stepping stones in mounting the hill of suc- cess. There is no such a thing as standing still, Things will not turn up for you until you turn them up—unless it be the sod, and the grave-digger will look after that. Every battle de- clined is a battle lost. Perfect char- acter is ‘neither inherited nor acci- dental; it is the result of the hardest battles and completest Victories.” Dr. Richardson’s address was deliv- ered before an-audience composed of the families and friends: of the Class of 19 which ‘filled the large auditor- ium... The ‘service was most impres- sive, and the clergyman drove home his. words of. wisdom: with ‘ain effec: ! tive delivery. Am conclusion he said: “Members of the graduating class, the, world lies before yon in want and woe, “pegging for relief. There is no tonic like that which comes from serv= ing others. He is happiest and greats est: who does the greatest good in ghe* world. He only is great of mind who stirs the world with great thoughts. He only is great of heart who floods the world with a great affection. He only is great of will who does some- glorious goal. There are maladies of body requiring the physician’s skill. There are clashings of right requiring the attorney’s lore. There are clouds or ignoance equiring the schoolman’s light. There are wastes of sin requir jing the preacher's husbandry. Life's goal is supreme happiness through un- selfish service. “A man of wealth and wisdom was in the Troquis fire, but rushed over the bodies of.women and children to safe- ty. The next day, some of his friends congratulated him on his escape. He looked at them sorrowfully; ‘saying. “I had no mor! right. t6 come out ‘of that building alive. My wife ‘and family were provided for and my business iné terests were in good shape. The little ‘GUSSNER’S “Strictly Fresh =. -9Q, Eggs, per doz....

I cannot accept your congratulations.’ “A nephew of Dr. Gunsaulus went to see the theatre that was to have been’ opened the following Sunday in a re- ligious service hy his. distinguished | uncle, When the fire broke out,-the) young man made his way. to a’ window | overlooking the alley where painters were at work, He called'for a ladder and placed one end of it in ‘the win+ dow and the other end in the window, of another building. He called for a plank to place upon: the ladder. With flames leaping ‘about him, ‘he’ stood placing women and children on the, path to safety, After the fire, he was taken, toa hospital for treatment. With the kiss of God upon his brow, | he breathed out his last in the words:! Some have theiyy chance at sixt; some have their chance at thirty; J have my chance at twenty and I am happy.’” The music for the afternoon was fur- nished by the Presbyterian choir, and Mrs. H. H. Steele responded with a solo, HOME SERVICE SECTIONS OF RED CROSS,TO TRACE SOLDIERS’ LIBERTY, BONDS ac 018 Home service sections of the Red Cross are tracing Liberty bonds for: returned soldiers, who.have asked their help, Some of the boys say they never expect to get their bonds. This is a mistake. The government keeps its obligations, and very likely the ap- plication, through the local home serv- ice section, is the one thing needful to clear away, whatever obstacle might haye prevented their reaching the owners. If the Boys do their part they’ will get. their bonds. The home ser-| vice:helps to getithe bonus, they get arrears of pay, delayed allotments, and allowances, convert jinsurance, to. apply: for compensation and vocation- al training, to get employment and many: other things..

The tablet, which is a.genuine bronze memorial, ,j bears:.the inscription “In honor of those who served in the World War, U.S. Entry April. 6, 1917, Armistice Signed November 11, 1918." ‘The roll includes the names of 63 boys in thé fighting ‘branch of the service, four. lied Cross workers, three Y. M, C. A. secretaries, and one in the health de+ partment. The musical program was especially fine with Mrs. Moore at the organ and Mrs. Jacobson directing the choir. which presented two beautiful anth- ems, _ Miss Lancetta Steel sang “A Voice {n the Wilderness,” and Messrs. Halverson and Humphyers rendered a duet. . Both of these numbers were excéllent. . I. M. Capper, known to most of the audience and a former “Y” secretary, delivered a splendid address showing the vast scope of the work done Sy the Red Triangle, in which he reyealed the far-reaching program undertaken bf hig organization and the great work \accomplished. Doubtless hig talk was @ great help in revealing the difficul- ties that the amy “Y" confonted and the’ commendable manner in which it had met and solved most of its great, problems. The: pastor then demobilized the service flag by removing it from the permanent bronze tablet which it cov- ered, and gave it to Mrs. Peter Reid, who received it for the Patriotic com: |p mittee of the church, with the sugges- tion that it be treasured in some safe archive and that in the future it} might be fittingly. placed in the corn- erstone of a new ciurch edifice to be preserved as a sacred relic. The names of the roll were then read and the tablet was dedicated to those memorialized. Mr. Neil Reid in a brief response, in which he paid homage to the mothers ag the boys, accepted the memorial. Captain Wan- ner had furnished his group af allied flags for the occasion and the chan- cel of the church had been beautifully decorated with a profusion of flowers and national emblems by Mrs. O. R Barnes, to whom the church is to of- ten indebted for her decorative art.

Care’ as’ to Details Taken to Mark Going, Out of the Ice i ‘Nenan, Alaska, April 7. (By Mail)— The care taken in arrangementy made for observing -the, exact time of the ‘break-up of ice on the great Yukor tiver every spring, on which thout ands of dollars change hands, reminds one of the, detail: work connected with the winner. and places in an auto- mobile race. The Yukon ice break-up ‘might also be termed the Northland’s “derby”. from the interest it attracts. So alse the break-up ofthe Tanana river ir Alaska Territory. Take, for example, A stake, ‘bearing a flag, hag been’ firmly, im- bedded in the ice on the bosom of the river, to which a taut wire leads to a stiff-leg derrick on a dock.” On the derrick is a switch connectéd, bv wire, to a bell jo. the Nanana} power- the. bell to the ¢lock. ‘A. hook; at- tached at the end.of the taut wire leading from’ the: ice. stake, the der tick supports’ a weight attached tc the handle of the switch on the der- rick, The stake on the ice is set fifty feet upstream from the derrick, and wher the ice has* moved 10 feet, the taut wire from the stdke to the derrick will, break and,’relase . the . weight. which’ throws. the switch, rings the bell and stops: the #lock at the same time. A duly appointed committee has ‘charge of the*clock, inspecting its time daily for correctness. Ice “pools” are formed on the time | of the ice break-up and usually a part of. the “pot” goes to some charity. Besides hundreds of dolars are war- ered’ in. other ways, ‘Recent advices recorded the break- up of ice in the Yukon at Dawson at noon on-May 10, and the ice in the Tanana began gioving some days ‘prior.
