To Have Home Service Campaign. Nine cities of North Dakota will be directly ‘benefited by the Salvation Army home service campaign now go- ing forward nationally and which will reach its intensive stage in Nort’ Da- kota September 22 to 29. Grand Forks, however, is the one city in North Dakota to put on its campaign simultaneously with Minnesota, Au- gust 10 to 18. This was done for lo- cal reasons. The quota accepted by the Elks there is $25,000. The cities which are to have permanent build- ing equipment are: Grand Forks, Bis- marck, Devils Lake, Dickinson, Far- go, Jamestown, Minot, Valley City and Williston. In practically every in- stance the allotment of the city which is to ‘be beneficiary of the campaign in the way of a building is proportionately large. Returned soldiers and sailors who, through the world war found the “Army” so helpful, will be provided with social and recreational rooms where games, music, and various forms of amusement will afford them pastime. In the citadel the people from the surrounding counties may enjoy boths, showers and sleeping ac- comomdations. There will be a cafe- teria where the lowest possible prices for food will prevail, and rest rooms for men and women. The work car- ried on in the citadel will be construc- tive and will become an important factor in the community life. The ‘building will ‘bring the Salvation army work together under one roof and will solidify and strengthen its influence, according to state and na- tional leaders. Elks Furnishing Aid. The campaign is distinctly a home service one, and the money raised will be used effectively for home work. The national quota is set at $15,000,000.

W. W. to Commun- ize Farms at $10 Per Day Strikes Rocks Tales of Bolshevism patterned closely after the real Russian article filter into Bismarck by travelers who have visited Mitchell, S. D., lately. The trouble started, it is said, when socialists, I. W. W.’s bolshevists and other riff-raff painted with the same general color scheme of yellow at- tacked the federal employment bu- reau representative at Mitchell about a week ago. Before it was over, all of the men in town who had seen ser- vice in the army, navy or marine corps, backed up the police depart- lutut and quelled the attempt to ter- rorize the city of Mitchell. The employment bureau at Mitch- ell ‘iad been placing former soldiers, farm hands from the drought stricken sections of the northwest and others on farms in the vicinity of Mitchell offering the men $5 a day. A burly, loud talking, ‘but soft working bol- shevik, without a trace of callous on his thands and the only part of his clothing showing signs of wear being the seat of his pants, came into the employment office. “Are you the guy who is sending men out on farms at $5 a day,” asked the big son of rest. “Yes,” replied the employment man, “do you want work?” “Naw I don’t and what’s more you ain’t goin’ to send any more uniform- ed murderers ont the farm at $5 a day and spoil of graft of $10 and five hours work a day,” said the spokes- man of the yellow striped delegation. Before the employment director knew what had happened he was nursing a cut lip, the result of a blow from the bolshevist ringleader. That started matters. Seeing how easy a gang of them could lick one lone man, it is said, about 50 or 60 of them gathered around the principle streets of Mitchell and started to de- vise ways and means of taking over the reins of the government so that they could eat without working. The news quickly traveled around Mitchell and it was not long before the police department with the aid of former soldiers made things lively for the “rabbits” who refused to work for less than $10 for a 5-hour working day. When the “workers” whose greatest efforts at work were made in wearing out trouser seats saw that they did not outnumber disciples of law and order ‘by at least ten to one, they soon departed from Mitchell.

Some one said the other day that the market is full of cotton and shoddy. Even so. We say that this store is full of the finest all-wool ready-to-wear suits that money can buy. And buying is going on in real earnest which is a good thing, because with the majority of mills unable to fill orders, the outlook for unlimited supplies is not certain, and a normal worth while man wants to be on the safe side.
