ropes. making false partition, as it
were. A large doorway in the middle
was draped with the same colors, and
large palms formed. sort of aisle to

WM. s:;.,alalER IS FARMING
| w.. Hi'to4cssai;Sx, e; So!e'!F. q. THEM

{; VIM. Gardner was in Dickinson the
past week and stated that he was
anxious to get the traction engine break
ing outfit started on the 800 acre job
10 miles south of South Heart, where
he recently purchased three quarter
section of the finest land in the
county at $21 per acre. Decker &
Fralick have contracted to plow this
land which is to be sown 10 flax. Mr..
Gardner was fortunate in getting the
land as a number of people were after
it and he has had several chances to
sell it at good advsnce already. He
thinks, however, that this kind of farm
land will soon be worth $40 per acre.
MI. Gardner sold his 900 acre tract II
miles south of Dickinson at 50 per acre,
a short time ago, but he will remain on
the place until fall. as he has dry
band of sheep there that he purchased
in the spring from the Zimmerman
ranch near Manning. As soon as the
sheep are turned he will move into
Dickinson to occupy the Pat Rogers
house which he bought in the spring.
A yesr or two ago Mr.. Gardner bought
400 acres of land in Alberta and part
of the same is being cropped this season
on shares. The property is all right,
but Mr.. Gardner thinks that he may
have to hold it for few years in order
to realize to the best advantage. He
has fully made up his mind that there
is no country any where that offers
better opportunities for safe investment
than Western North Dakota.
Mr.. Gardner handled stock in South
Dakota for quite a while before coming
here some II years ago. He still has a
large band of sheep down south. but
he does not think that it will be profit
able to run the sheep after this year.
Along with the farming and care of
ranches. MI. and Mrs. Gardner have
decided to have an easy conveyance and
have new Bush automobile, ordered
through Tom Vallancey.

The hearts of the people of this city
were very much saddened Wednesday
evening when it was learned that
Russell Berg had died of typhoid fever
at the home of his parents. Supt. and
Mrs. p. S. Berg, on Marguerite Boule-
ward. It had been known for three
days that recovery was almost impos-
sible and yet many did not give up
hope until the afternoon of the 18th.
1t was just four weeks before, on
April 20. that word was received from
Grand Forks of Russell's illness. and
he was taken home by first train, a
schoolmate, Deane Wiley, accompany
ing him. The trip did not seem to do
him any harm and so far as could be
seen the patient was doing very we'll
until April 20 when he had a
hemorrhage. He rallied from this but
suffered a relapse the first of last
week and his case was very critical for
some days. On Sunday he seemed much
improved and his family were very
much encouraged. Their hopes were
dashed to the ground when toward even
ing he had a sinking spell and another
hemorrhage, after which his condition
was considered by all most critical.
Russell was patient sufferer and was
conscious to the last. Realizing that
he must 50. on Wednesday afternoon
he asked his father and mother to ca|l

last hours he suffered greatly and feel

and breathed his last a half hour later.

years before coming to Dickinson He
was the eldest of FIVE living children
and young man Of much promise, q real
home boy, obedient and very studious.
Russell graduated from the Dickinson
high school with the class of 1909, and
entered the state university at Grand
Forks in the fall. He was preparing
himself for electrical engineering and
expected later to attend the university
of Wisconsin. His school work was
always we'll done and without any
urging.
Services were held at the home at 2
O'Clock Friday afternoon, Rev. W. J..
Brown of the First Congregational church
officiating. Safe in the Arms of Jesus
and other appropriate hymns were rem

1t is one of the God given joys of life
to meet those we care for and who care
for US.

of the sturdy kind that you are glad God

cause it has all been so good and active,
with many many friends and few
blooming enemies made by the way.
So we sailed three more days. arriv-
ing at Honolulu on bright sunny
morning. and it seemed so good to be
alive and every body else with whom
we came in contact seemed to feel the
same.
A drive of mile or two landed us
at the Moana hotel, located on the beach
with the ocean and surf in its back yard
and the dining room overlooking the
water that seemed like a beautiful
picture of very fine coloring. Chinese
bell boys. Japanese walters, French
chef, and everything to eat that was
most palatable and wholesome. We
had good room on the land side look
ing toward the city and mountains.

Everything was animation from the
time of landing, passengers en- route
to Manila, China and Japan made
haste to see the sights during the day.
Those stopping off could not all be
assured of getting the hotel accommo-
dations required but everybody acted
glad. The roads and streets were paved.
Automobiles in abundance of high class
and good quality. The buildings were
up-to-date and looked expensive, like
wise the hotels. Residences looked to
be all that could be desired. A place
of 10000 people. So much all of a
sudden 10 wonder at and be glad about.

its capacity was present and all were
equally satisfied with the way in which
the amateurs performed their different
roles. From the time the curtain rose
until the last act was completed every
remark and gesture was executed with
as much natural ease and grace as if
appearing thus in public were an every
day occurrence and it would be difficult
to judge which one of the performers
excelled, so we'll did each player in
terpret his individual role. The play
is replete with witticisms and funny
situations and has quite a dramatic
tinEe.
Florence Jennings. as the ''Sweet
Girl Graduate" was particularly well
received in her star part. She seemed
to lose herself in portraying the charac-
teristics Of the excitible young lady on
the eve of graduation; Robert Hill in his
distinction as the young lover infused
originality in his part that made his
acting very pleasing and natural;
Maysie Dinsdale. as Mrs. DeSmythe, took
on as many motherly cares and ap-
prehensions as would do credit TO the
genuine Marjory Lytle made as typical

with her graceful gestures. and self
possession, Jessie Pendergast as the
distinguished dressmaker. Lyle Merry
as professor, with voice and gestures
which portrayed profound knowledge,
Joice Scarf, an intimate friend and
conddant of 1.-The Sweet Girl Gradu-
ate" and Emma Nichols. as genial little
maid. were all especially well received.
The success of the play is largely due
to the ability and untiring effort of
Miss Anna Hillesheim of the high school
faculty. who coached the cast from
the first; also to Rev. FIR. Dignam of
St. Patrick's church. who ably assisted
at three of the last rehearsels and took
entire oversight Of shifting scenes and
stage settings.
At the close of the play the members
of the freshman and sophomore classes
presented Miss HiAesheim with hand
some chakng dish as an appreciation
of her work in connection with the
entertainment.
The sum of 1928 was netted from the
play which will greatly swell the funds
for furnishing the new gym at the high
school. Those in charge are particularly
grateful to those rendering specialities
between the acts, who generously
donated their services. The orchestra
played several fine selections before
the play and during intermissions
Miss Eva Alcott sang twice. completely
enthralling her audience and responded
each: time to a hearty ovation; Miss
Elizabeth Wilson, Of the high school
rendered appreciatinsly, pretty and
difficult piano solo; Miss Ella Peterson
demonstrated the art of swinging Indian
clubs and her novelty performance was
thoroughly enjoyed and was. considered
one of the best numbers: Fred Maser
gave violin solo. accompanied BY
Myrtle Parker, that was so much
enjoyed that an encore was applauded.
