WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1919. BUSINESS MEN MUST SHOULDER FEDERALBUREAU No Funds Prevents Government From Maintaining Local Employment Office If the, business men of Bismarck will maintain the federal employment bureau in this city for the next three months, sufficient funds will then be available from the governmeni to make the office a permanent affair, according to G. D. Sullivan, federal employment bureau director, of Wash. ington, who is nm Bismarck in con- nection with the employment ‘bureau affairs. “A month ago, I was not very opti- mistic about the maintenance of the federal employment bureaus,” said Mr. Sullivan this afternoon, but re- cent developments make me very op- timistic. If we can only get the bus- iness men of this city, who have done such good work already in keeping the local office open at some expense to themselves, to continue their good work until we can get a bill through congress. I am firm in my belief that the employment bureau will become a permanent part of the federal gov- ernment. “It is impossidle to outline the great good these employment bureau: have done, especially in handling the farm labor situation and the return- ing sold‘ers. With out them, the farmers in this section would have found it very difficult to secure com- petent hands to harvest their crops. And the soldiers returning from home and foreign service, who need all the assistance that can possibly be given them in their return to civilian life, have been and are being helped every day. Appreciates Support: “Nothing that I can say,” contin~ ued Mr. Sullivan, “would adequate- ly express the thanks of my depart- ment to the business men of Bis- marck who have contributed so gen- erously to keep the local office open. It was a service that they rendered ‘ to the farmers principally and the latter should be extremely thankful for it. Most of the employment handled by the local office has been of an agricultural nature. “When the sundry civil anpropria- tion bill was vetoed the other day, funds which we could have used in maintaining these offices were cut off, However, we have about $400,000 st‘ll at our services which we think will be sufficient to carry us for at least five more months. There is a bill now ‘before congress which we expect to pass before the end of three months which will enable us to place the federal employment bureau on a permanent: ‘basis. If the people of Bismarck will only keen the local of- fice open until that bill’ is passed, which I am sure it will before the end of three months, it will meet a very crying need in placing farm Chevrolet, Hupmobile and Hudson Motor Cars _ Smith Form-a-Trucks and ‘¢ Tractors Kelly-Springfield and Pennsylvania Tires i Prest-o-Lite Batteries and Parts ACCESSORIES NOTICE: : We have on hand a few used cars which we will sell at reduced prices in order to have a clean slate for our semi-annual inven- tory July 1.

Gets State Co-operation. “Wie expect to secure the co-opera- tion of the various states and I am pleasedwith the way the North Da- kota state officials are meeting the government in this matter. If the state will share with the government the expenses of running the bureaus in North Dakota, we will turn the management of tha various offices over to the state officials. The state seems to be short of funds availajle for this purpose at present, but I hope by the time the next legislature meets that sufficient funds will be provided. In the meantime, the gov- ernment, it the bill mentioned is passed, will provide at least two em- ployment bureaus in North Dakota, one at Bismarck and the other at Fargo.” Mr. Sullivan intends to talk this matter over with several of the busi- ness men of Bismarck before leaving the city. ; BASEBALL | + NATIONAL LEAGUE, WeSC DL: Bet.

D., July 16 —With five attorneys representing petition- ers for the appointment of Geo. MeWilliams as administrator for the estate of J. C. McWilliams, intestate, and an equal number appearing for the cross petition of Mrs. Reina O’Brien of Russell, N. D., the legal battle to get possession of the $170,- 000 fortune opened in county court yesterday afternoon before Judge L. K. Hassell. Miss Hinnie Hall, mother of Mrs. O’Brien, who claims that the late Mr. McWilliams is her father, took the stand yesterday afternoon and faced a gruelling cross-examina- tion at the hands of Attorney James Manahan of St. Paul. Counsel oppos- ing Mrs. O’Erien comprises Attorneys (Murphy and Toner of Grand Forks; James Manahan ‘of St. Paul; Samuel J. Radcliffe of Larimore, and A. R. Smythe of Devils Lake. She is repre- sented by Fisk and Murphy of Minot; J.-A. Walsh of Larimore; Stephen J. Cowley of Great Falls, Mont., and E. R. Sinkler of Minot. Old “Skeletons” Brought in. That she is the mother of Mrs. O’Rrien and that the late J. C. Mc- Williams is the father, and that he ad- mitted the parentage, is the conten- tion of Miss Hall, who was the only witness called to the stand yesterday. The case dates back 33 years ago and evidence submitted in a breach of promise case instituted at that time is being resurrected by the attorneys combatting for the McWilliams for- tune. This morning the hearing will be held at Larimore, where the testi- mony of Isaac Courn, who is serious- ly ill, will be taken. Other witnesses to be called, it is expected, will be Clerk of Court M. W. Spaulding, a pi- oneer of this county and who was ac- quainted with Mr. McWilliams and Miss Hall prior to 1886, when the child was born, and J.C. Hurphy of Agnes township, formerly an intimate friend of the late J. C. McWilliams. Further legal complications are ex- pected to develop in the entangle- ments that have been wound about the estate. While brothers and sis- ters of the late Mr. McWilliams are fighting to get possession of the ‘for- tune and are opposed by Mre Brien who claims to be the only child, oth- er attorneys are said to ‘be quieuy watching the case and:are prepared to enter other actions to bid for a share of the fortune. At present the legal fight rests between members of the McWilliams family and Mrs. O’- Brien. y Tt is expected that the case will be carried to district court and mav de. velop into one of the biggest legal frays ever staged in Grand Forks county courts.

Munger, of ‘Duluth, Minnesota, here last night, and stole jewelry THREE BROTHERS FINED FOR FIGHT STAGED SUNDAY City Gets Nice Revenue But Hos- pitals Were Not Crowded With Victims As an aftermath of a series of street fights‘ which formed a sort of continuous performance late Sunday night, three brothers, George, Henry appeared before Justice of the Peace Howell last night and pleaded guilty to the charge of disorderly conduct. Each of the defendants was fined $25 and costs and given a 30-day suspend- ed jail sentence.which will be enforced if the fines are not’ paid within a cer- tain length of time, according to the police.

Clark was arrested on a charge of driving without a license and will appear before Justice Howell this evening. COUNTY TO BUILD NEW BRIDGES ON HIGHWAYS Although it is not.expected that any great amount of work will be done on the county highways this fall, it is understood at the court house that the county commissioners will open bids on August 1 for the erection of several bridges. It is known that two of these bridges will be fifty-foot spans and will ‘be put up in the north- ern part of the county. Other bridges are expected to be built, either to re- place bridges too, well worn or ante- quated to be repaired, in places where no bridges new ex ‘but for which there seems to be a demand on the part of the county commissioners.

FLYING CIRCUS 10 VISIT THIS CITY IN AUGUST Two Different Army Air Service Exhibitions Scheduled to Be Here Next Month HAIR RAISING STUNTS Airplanes will soon ‘be a common sight around Bismarck if the present plans of the Commercial club and the business men of the city materialize. It is planned to have two “flying cir- cuses” in this city during the month of August, and there is every likli- hood that others will follow. Army Circus Offered. Mayor A, W. Lucas received a tele- gram this morning from George M.! Young, representative in congress’ from this district; reading as tol-| lows: “The commandant of Ellington field, Houston, Tex., has promised me an aero exhibit for a date about the middle of August.' Do you want it there? Will be four De Haviland planes. It will be necessary to fur- nish a level field 2,000 feet square for landing them, free from stones, brush, ditches and prairie dog holes. If you want this wire quickly giving altitude of Bismarck.” A wire was immediately dispatched to Representative Young stating that the city would provide the required landing field and that everything pos- sible to insure the success of the “tlying circus” would be attended to. This wire will be followed tomorrow} by a letter from Mayor Lucas setting forth the details of just what Bis- marck will do for the army fliers, Second Is Possible. Besides the above, another “flying circus,” this one from Hazelhurst field, Long Island, N. Y., will probably visit Bismarck, although no definite date has been set. In a letter receiv- ed by George N. Keniston, secretary of the Commrecial club from 1st Lt. John L. Roullot of the army air serv- ice, acting adjutant of Hazelhursi field, Bismarck will be included in a trans-continental flying trip provid- ing a suitable landing field can be prepared. Inasmuch as the Fort Lin- coln parade ground is a natural fly- ing field, it is assured tHat the bird-) men on this coast-to-coast trip will visit Bismarck. As in the first mentioned “circus,” the letter received by Secretary Ken- iston stipulates that a flying field 1,800 feet square must ‘be provided and that a marker in the center of the field to guide the aviators must be displayed. This will be attended to, according to Mr. Keniston, without any difficulty. To Make It Big Event. “The city will issue an open invita- tion to all the farmers and others living in the vicinity of Bismarck to visit this city when the ‘flying cir- cuses’ are here,” sad Mayor Lucas; this afternoon in discussing the mat-| ter. “We believe that it will be one of the most interesting exhibits that has ever been shown here and] ant sure that hundreds.of people will be glad to see the progress made /by tha army air service in aviation.” In connection with the two “flying circuses,” it is also understood that another army flyer will probably in- clude Bismarck in his itinerary somé time next month. This #irdman; has an exceptional reputation as a flier and many death defying and seem- ingly impossible stunts will be per- formed ‘by him over the city, if am rangements can be made to have him visit this city. All of the aviators used by the air service in these traveling exhibitions are genoerally conceded to be the best in the service. The purpose of the government in sending these exhi- ditions around the country is to ac» quaint those localities that have not been visited by aviators in numbers of the marvelous progress achieved by the army air service during the war, It is also intended to convince the people that tke day will soon ibe fhere when the aeroplane will be of commercial importance. ‘Twas Said:— —during the draft, a darkey who had been placed in Class 4, ap- peared before his local board and said: “Bo: if you can gib me a divorse, dis nigger will go to the war.” “But Rastus,” replied Parson Jones, a minister who was sit- ting on the draft board, “why do you want a divorse? Don’t you remember that you took Liza for better or for worse?” “Yesser, I ain’t forgot, but she done turned out wuss’n I thought!” Enough said.

And you, live in rented houses, From all parts of the country comes the insistent People want homes, they need Why don’t you, who who have money to invest, why don’t you build houses and get the benefit of the rents? Rents are higher today than ever before in the history of the nation. If you are a renter you want to escape this abnormal condition. If you are a landlord you should take advantage of these opportunities and secure more houses to rent. In either case the answer is—BUILD! Authorities concede that building costs are about Ten to Fifteen Percent above normal just now. As against this, rents are from Twenty-five to Fifty Percent above normal. Therefore the percentage balance is enormously in favor of building. Furthermore, authorities are agreed that building costs cannot be lower until some future time as yet unforeseen, You, who are, now. living in rented houses, pay out in rent each month practically as much money as would build you waiting! a home and pay for it entirely! You are only losing by If you would build now, instead: of continuing in actual cash dividends in rental saved. Moreover it is your obligation as a husband and father to provide your family with a pleasant, comfortable, secure shelter for the years to come. You owe your little ones the happiness and joy and safety of a home of their own today and the memories of that home in future years. In building your own home you can build where you wish and how you wish. You can build according to your own desires and preferences and to suit the tastes and wishes’ of yourself and your family. Building your own home is not. only a sound business investment but it serves as an excellent plan for saving money. Paying for a home gives you a real reason for sav- ing and supplies you with a tangblie objective as a check to unreasonable spending. Improved property is always salable. It is also recog- nized as valid collateral in any business transaction and serves as stable security in any emergency. Build now!
