"I remember one evening I was out walking with my brother-in-law, when we got to talking about the beauties of Seattle. I listened and aft er he had finished talking I said, Well, you see I lived in Fargo so many years that I got to know almost ev erybody there, while here I don't know anyone excepting myself and the children and you.7 "As true as I tell you I had scarcely got through speaking when my broth er-in-law and myself received a ter rific shock.

"While we do everything In our power to protect the automobile own ers yet we are unable to tell to whom the different cars In the city belong. If a man cranks a car, gets in and drives away as though he were ae~ customed to doing that all the time how are we to tell he is not the real i owner and is only swiping a joy ride. Every automobile owner should carry his key with him at all times." This morning another daring auto mobile robbery was reported. A Ford belonging to the Rumley Products Co. was taken out of the wareroom of that i concern in broad daylight. Fred Irish, cashier of the First Na I tional bank, was another victim of the automobile thieves Saturday even ing, when his Cadillac was taken from place near the grandstand at the fair grounds.- The police department made a careful search for the car and was located yesterday morning within a square of the garage where Mr. Irish keeps his car. "I am very much indebted to Chief Keefe and his men who did so much in returning my car to me," said Mr. Irish. "They certainly deserve all the credit and thanks I can give and I want them to know my appreciation. After this I am going to carry the key to my car and lock it whenever leave it standing. I think it would be an excellent plan for all automobile owners to practice. 'The person or persons who took my car," went on Mr. Irish, "must have been familiar with the workings of a Cadillac and with the place I kept It, for they returned it to a point within a square of the garage where I keep it. They did some damage to it which will cost about $50 to repair." Several other cars were reported stolen during the fair, one belonging to Mr. Harding, whose machine was taken out about a mile north of the fair grounds and4sft standing in the road. HELD IN NEW YORK PRESENT FROM CITY OF ROUEN TO PEOPLE OF AMERICA NOW LYING IN CUSTOMS HOUSE- MAYOR SWEET SENDS MORE LETTERS OF REPLY. Lying in the customs house In the New York port Is memorial book sent as a present from the city of Rouen, France, to the people of Am erica and it is addressed to W. D. Sweet, mayor of Fargo. The book is valued at about $200. Some time ago Mayor Sweet re ceived a letter from the mayor of Rouen, stating that the memorial book had been forwarded to Fargo In his care, but on account of a strike of longshoresmen it was not believed that the memorial would reach this city until after the Rollo statue cere monies had been over. It had been shipped in time to reach here, but the strike prevented its deliverance. The mayor at once wrote to New York asking that it be taken from the customs house and forwarded here by express. Mayor Sweet has no idea as to what may be in the memorial book, but thinks that it will be some thing fine, on account of its value. Letter to Gr*vatad. Mayor Sweet has forwarded the following: letter: July 29.—Hon. N. Grevstad, U. S. Minister and Personal Envoy of the President, 1531 Kenllworth, avenue* Rogers Park, Chicago. Dear Sir: On behalf of the Rollo committee And the people of the northwest, I have the nonor to ac knowledge the gracious greeting of his excellency, the president, as ex pressed T-iy yourself. An unfortunate misunderstanding made it impossible that your communication should have been read to the assembled thousands on the occasion of the dedication of the Rollo statue in Fargo on July 12. Its announcement would have added to the Interest of the remarkable event of that date which will be long remembered on account of the magni ficent testimonial of tthe people of France to the Normans, Norwegians and citizens of America and which will constitute an abiding evidence of their good will. Thanking you, I remain with great respect, jour obedient servant, W. D. Sweet. May**. To Mayo* of Montreal. Mayor Sweet has also forwarded a letter to the mayor of Montreal, of which the following is a copy. July 12.—Hon. L. A. LavaUie, Mayor, Montreal, Can. Dear Sir: It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge your letter, ad dressed to our people, informing us of the very complimentary action of your council and city authorities in connection with the dedication of the statue of Rollo in Fargr on July 12. We regret the occurrence of circum stances which prevented the intended representation of the city of Montreal on that occasion. The expression, however, of your congratulations and the official action of your council is evidence to our people of the kindly sentiments existing toward us, and th» publication of your letter will widely extend the feeling of similar senti« ments among our people. The unveiling of this statue was an international event and occurred in the presence of representative notables from the various countries interested and many thousands of people and will forever constitute in our minds a reminder of the amicable relations which do and should exist amonjr the peoples of Norway, France, Canada and America and of the common heritage from which all have sprung. With great respect, I remain your obedient servant. w. D. Sweet. Mayan The Lev* That Dyes. Sforitctor She—Would you love me better, dearest, if my hair were a different, color?

SPECIAL SERVICES LAST EVENING BROADWAY METHODIST CHURCH AND FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HELD SERVICES WHICH WERE OUT OF THE ORDINARY—OTHER CHURCH NEWS. There were special service* at two of the elty churches last night that are deserving of special mention, be cause of their excellence. At the First Baptist church a most interesting pro gramme was enacted by the Young People's society of the congregation, and the house was well filled. The usual opening services consisting of song, prayer and scripture reading took place, after which Miss Dorothy Ashland, president of the society bade all welcome, delivering a very pretty address. The ladies' quartette of the church rendered a pleasing selection, after which James Van Kleeck talked on the work of the local society, giv ing some idea of what it had been doing. Mrs. Miller rendered a pleas ing solo and Rev. A. E. Peterson, pastor, read the announcements for the coming week, and Ross Babcook and James Van Kleeck gave a duet, after which Lawrence Carlson talked on the importance of the work of the young people in the church. He took the position that this society could be a power in the help of the pastor. There was an anthem, the closlnar hymn and the benediction, making a very pleating and instructor* serv ie* At the Broadway. The laymen's meeting at the Broad way M. E. church last evening was ex ceedingly well attended and the serv ices from beginning to end were highly interesting and Instructive. There were two great subjects dis cussed last night. The first being, The Church in Its Relation to the Community. E. L. Copeland led the discussion and gave a most inter esting debate. M. Thurber was to have spoken on the subject of Why More Men Do Not Attend the Church, but on account of Illness could not be present and his place was filled by Hon. Smith Stimmel in a most ac ceptable manner. There was an in teresting musical service rendered that was pleasing and Thomas Fitzgerald spoke on The Community and Itp Re lation to the Church, and h« gave many interesting points. Presbyterians to PieAio. Rev. Mr. Behner at the evening service at the First Presbyterian church announced that next Saturday it was the intention of many of the members of the congregation to visit Lake Cormorant, where Rev. Dr. Adams, the former pastor of the church is spending the summer. The visitation will be in the nature of a basket picnic, each one taking his or her own basket, and the company will get to the lake as best they can, where arrangements have been made with Professor McArdle and family to sup ply the coffee. It is hoped that all who will go will send their names to Mrs. George Rusk on or before next Wednesday. Rev. Mr. Adams and family are enjoying themselves very much at the lakeside and will be very much pleased to have their old friend* visit them on this occasion. Th* Men's Club. After prayer meeting next Wednes day evening there will be a meeting of the four directors of the Men's rlub of the First Presbyterian church, when an effort will be made to select or make up a programme for the next meeting of the club which will be on the evening of Aug. 13. It is hoped that Rev. Mr. Adams will be present at the club meeting and give a talk. If not there will likely be an inter esting subject discussed as well as a fine musical programme under the dl rection of Paul Bunce. Had Good Audience. The Glad Tidings mission church held its services last evening in the German Evangelical church over on the southslde and there was a very good attendance. There was an ex cellent sermon by Rev. O. E. Mc Cracken and a fine song service. It is likely that the congregation will worship there next Sunday evening. During the week the services will be held in the free kindergarten build ing. The new mission church is get tinjf along nicely and it is believed that it will be ready for occupancy early in the coming fall. Notwith standing the fact that the mission at present has no home there haye been several conversions. Airy, Iifpplncott's: She—Aren't you some times frightened when away up In the air?

Everywhere in the state is an unusual growth of straw and promise of a yield much above the average which necessitates more than the usual sup plies of twine. In some portions of the state, to guard against an ultimate shortage, i and to prevent shortage, the dealers are supplying their customers with but a portion of their total supply. This will enable all to have some twine for their immediate use and will pre vent others from hoarding supplies which they will not need for weeks when the late sown grain will be ready for the binders. Agents of the twine houses are guarding their sup plies so that all will get sufficient for their needs from week to week, and hustling for all In addition possible. Kansas and South Dakota, as well as this state and Minnesota, are requir ing more twine than anticipated and the cordage factories are running over time to keep up with the demand. The penitentiary twine plant sold out its seasonal output by June 15 and since that date has received orders for more than the output of the plant for the past three seasons—and requests continue to be received. Others than the railroads will ba put to their wits to handle this crop to judge from present indications. Borrowing cars from other roads will become a necessity if the crop is handled with much celerity and a blockade, similar to that which exist ed in Canada last fall. Is averted.
