Letters From the Front Back from thfe Great Lakes Naval Station comes the story: "For five years I have not been in touch with father or mother," said a young chap from South Dakota, "You see I ran away from home, I felt ashamed and when all the fellows here were going into.the army Y. M. C. A. building and writing honis I went in too and wrote my mother. Since then I've had let ters from her forgiving me, and yes terday there came a fine letter from my father. He said that sine© I had been man enough to join the navy, if I go home after serving my four years honorably, he has three sections of land he will turn over to me. You may be sure I'm going back, and I want to sell you I owe a lot to the M. C. A." Here's another, from a Texas desert camp: "You ask about the Y. M. C. A. Here's what it has done for us on the Border, it has erected buildings so that when the winds and storms rage and blow down our tents, and the rain pours in, we have shelter. They have games for us such as chess, checkers dominoes, etc., victrolas with lots of records, and ail the men who arfe 4n charge of the buildings seem to be so willing to do everything for us. I set my writting paper at the Y. C. A., envelopes and ink and every thing there. I get wrapping paper, twine for my packages home. I see the movies at nights there, and hear some great speakers there. We have good music and .singing at the Y. M. C. A. They take care of your mail there for you, and cheer you up when you're downhearted. They have all kinds of books to read and home newspapers. It's good and hard to be out hiking through the jungles and cactus but when we reach our camp it is good to have the Y. M. C.

Kositzky favors the taxation of automatic vending machines distribut ed throughout the state by the pay ment of a small license fee. Auditor Kositzky stated this jnorn|njg that there are thousands of these machines distributed throughout the state which are not put on the tax levy. The vend ing machines, which include the auto matic scales, stamp machines, and au tomatic check vaults in depots, net the owners big returns and should be as sessed and taxed. Auditor Kositzky favors charging a $1 license fee for such machines and he njill probably in troduce such a license at the next ses ison of the* legislature.

National Army to Have Enough Equipment and Clothing When Called shortage in clothing or equipment is expected to be disclosed wh£n the na tional army is mobilized next month. Secretary Bpker said today that ar rangements for the enormous supplies necessary for the new force are so well advanced that whatever shortage is found, will be overcome quickly. V: The same situation prevails as to" cantonments. Most of the divisional training establishments are nearing completion and all will be ready for the men as rapidly as the levies arrive. Mr. Baker visited the cantonment site at Annapolis Junction, Md., yesterday and was greatly impressed by the amount of work that has been done there in a short time. The first British Enfield rifle charn^ bered for American ammunition, the standardized product of three Ameri can factories turning out these guns to supplement the Springfield rifle output of government arsenals, was presented to the secretary Saturday, and in turn presented by him to Chair uian Scott of the general munitions board- of the defense council. Enough Enfields to supply the national army are expected to be ready by the time the draft forces have been trained to the stage of drilling with weapons.

REDFIELD-MOELLER Minot, Aug. 25—A romantie court ship dating from childhood, culminated in tfie marriage of Miss Lillian E. Moeller of this city and Leon Ridge way Redfield of New York, Thursday evening. The marriage came as a complete surprise to all of the bride's friends. Mr. Redfield came here for a vacation visit. On the way home the young couple arranged to be married and stopped at the Lutheran parsonage where Rev. George E. Iillegard mar ried them. The bride wore' a pearl gray suit with hat to match and a pink cfrepe blouse. Mr. Redfield's gift was a"" diamond lavalier. The romance dated from a childish business letter written to a firm in Virginia and answered by Mr. Red field a friend of the manager's son. The correspondence continued for some time, and a vacation visit to Rugby, where the bride then resided, proved to Mr. Redfield that he liad met the girl of his choice. From that time until a few weeks ago the letter courtship has been carried on. When Mr. Redfield came here for a vacation visit the immediate marriage was de cided on which resulted in it being even sooner than the family expected. The bride is the oldest daughter of Mrs. Lillie Moeller, and is a grad uate of the Rugby high school and the Valley City Normal, in the class of 1914. She is a talented musician and has the peculiar gift of whistling in bird like tones. Frequently for the past two years during her residence in Minot, she has appeared in public ncre. She has been engaged in news paper Work for the ast year „H?,r father, the late Dr. J. O. L. Moeller, was a pioneer physician of North Dakota, being located at a num different points in the state.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1917. mm. Minneapolis, Au&? '.ower priced coal will not be seen in Minneapolis for several weeks, despite the govern ment fixing lower prices at the mines, Minneapolis coal men said today, and they unite in urging the public to fill its wants early and cooperate in avert ing a coal famine here. "What good Is a meal ticket if there isn't a meal in sight?" asked G. H. Reeves, president of the Reeves Coal company, wholesalers. "We have some big stocks on hand here now, and only wish we had three times as much, for the situation at the docks Is serious. "Dealers who have bought coal at the higher prices will have to get their money out of it, and they have no trouble in doing so. The public is waking up to the fact it isn.'t so much a question of prices now as it is of getting the coal. They need 8,000,000 tons of coal at the head of the lakes to give the northwest its normal sup ply for the winter. "There -are only three months left of lake season, and the receipts sel dom run over 1,250,000 tons a month. As for the Illinois coal, they can use every pound of it in Illinois. I think the government will compel them to ship some of the Illinois product out side, for the situation is serious. Question of Personality "We can look for a lot of crooked work now at the mines. With the price standardized it will be a question of personality when it comes to getting coal, and you can see what that is likely to mean." Immediate price reduction is sched uled in Chicago, where the Consum ers company, a large retail concern, to day announced a slash of $1 to $1.80 a ton in its prices. Other dealers plan .ned to make similar cuts at once, and it was estimated the reduction will cut Chicago's coal bill by $30,000,000. "Reduction corresponding to the cut in the mine price may be looked for in Minneapolis soon on Illinois coal," said C. A. Bruce, representing local retail ers. "Chicago is not dependent on dock coal, however, as we are," he said. "Retailers here are not govern ed as to eastern coal by the mine price but by the price they have to pay at the docks, which is fixed by the dock companies. "We anticipate that wholesale and retail prices will be fixed soon. Of course, the government ir not going to compel dealers to sell coal at a loss, but as to coal already mined, supply and demand will enter in, And it will depend largely on whether adequate supplies can be brought through. "As to the retail price, that will be based on the mine price, transporta tion costs and costs of doing business, and we are compiling data on these cost items now, tabe furnished to the federal authorities.".
