FORTY YEARS SINCE
SETTLERS GAME
Kindred Resident Tells of the
Early Pioneers and Where
They Are Now

Kindred, N. D., July 29.-Forty
years ago this summer the first pio-
neers, who laid the foundations of
this settlement crossed the Red and
settled along the Sheyenne in the
band around Kindred Those were
Peter Borderud and family, Hans
Trangsrud and family, Ole Stram-
ness (all three of whom have passed
away Helge Olson, now of Gambia.
Mimi. Peter, Ole and Knut Herts-
gard, the two former who are dead,
knut Iverson of Kalispel, Mont, ST.
mon Hanson, Peter Trana. Sam Otis
and family, Jens Olson, (dead) and
family, Ole Ole and family, Carl Nell
son (dead), Even Johnson and family,
Ole dead and Arne Perhus, Hans
Jensven, Paul Johnson, Eric Benson
Gin Norway, Arne Lee (dead), Gulick
Olson lin Norway and John Rustad,
the latter settling first on the Red in
1870 and moving to the Sheyenne a
couple of years later. In the fall and
following summer many more came.
The hardy pioneers battled against
all the adversities and lived to see
the land they subdued made the gard
en- spot of the northwest. To us,
later generation, it seems almost in
credible that with OK teams or on foot
they got their supplies from Alex
andria, then the nearest trading point
No Moorhead, no Fargo; no railroad;
nothing, save vast unbroken sea of
prairie grasses varied only by the
strips of timber which lined the banks
of the Sheyenne. Rice and Red rivers.
With the courage of their hardy fore
fathers, they erected rude log cabins,
broke the virgin soil and in the forty
years since have never known a crop
failure. Primitive schools were start
ed and the basis Of our perfect educa-
tional system laid
In talking with those who are still
among us their tale is not so much
one of hardship, from their point of
view, as 1t is Of accomplished desires.
They came, they conquered and now
in their sunset of life, surrounded by
all the modern conveniences, rich,
happy and prosperous, they may gaze
athwart Gods choicest spot and with
a feeling of pride say: "'Tis here l
cast my lot, reared my family and by
the sweat of my brow carved out my
fortune and educated my children
and when the shadows of death close
around me in this spot which l have
helped to develop will l wrap the
draperies of my couch around me and
with thanks to the giver of all good
place my trust in Him who has guild
ed Inc through life's intricate path
ways and showered blessings upon
me and mine"

FURTHER DAMAGE BY HAIL
Four Farmers in Vicinity Of Marvel
Lost Forty Per cent Of Crops
BY the Storm.

FurtfE reports Of damage from the
hail storm Of Thursday night have
been reported. A strip about mile
wide short distance east Of Marvel
was struck by the hail and damage
to the crops is estimated at about
forty per cent.
While the strip was not very large
the damage will be heavy, although
partly covered by hail insurance. The
farmers who are affected most are
Joe Ferry, Jim Murphy, Ed Caldwell
and W.. ]. Nagel.

CROPS AT MILNOR
Taken Sudden Turn to the Bad and
Farmers are Dubious.

Minor, N. D.. July 29.-The crop
conditions have taken sudden turn
for the bad and today most of the
splendid fields which a week ago were
so promising, are badly injured. The
black rust has developed alarmingly
within the past few days, and, while
many fields are so far advanced that
they will escape with little damage,
there are many that will be really
useless to put in the binder. 1t has
been ascertained that the blue stem
and the velvet chaff have suffered
more than the macaroni and other
new varieties. This may have been
due to the early or late sowing. Corn
and flax will produce well and as
there is plenty of good hay our peo-
pie will not suffer as much as will
those in other parts of the state and
in South Dakota where there is no
crop and no hay to feed stock.

towns where the scouts are organic

The first pantomime introduced to
the English stage was Tavern Bill
kers," and was by John Weaver. This
was In the year 1902. 1t was produced
at Drury Lane. The great institutor
of pantomime in England was, how
ever, John Rich, who despised this
form of entertainment in 1717. His
first emphatic success was In 1924,
when he produced "The Necromancer:
or, History of DR.. Faustus." So sue
cessful was Rich with his pantomimes
that Garrick, Quin and others became
exasperated. Rich lived to see panto-
mines firmly established at Drury
Lane and Covent Garden. He died
in 1761.-London Stage.

Some New. Old Games.

Here are some very old games, put
am sure they will be brand-new 10
many of our young readers. Inc nrs.
ia called Catching the Snakes Tail
and comes to us from Japan, wnere
It is a great favorite. The children
form in line, each with hands resting
upon the shoulders of the player IN
front. The one who Is to act as
catcher is left out. The first child
in the line Is called the head and
the last one the tail" When time
to begin the catcher" is placed about
Is feet from the head" at a signal
he tries to catch the tall or the last
child In the snake" without touching
any one else. The others may de-
fend the tail" by moving about, keep
ing the line unbroken. for If the line
should be broken 1t is equal to the
tail" being caught and that unlucky
person must become the catcher while
the last named goes to the head OF
the line.
Now for the second game, called
Feather Play" 1t is very amusing,
although 1t sounds so simple. All the
players are seated on the floor, having
first countetd "out" to see who will be
at" A hollow square is formed with
sheet held close up to the chins Of
the players on the floor. A feather is
produced, a little downy thing and
blown back and forth by the players.
The trick is for the child who is ut"
to try to catch the feather on one of
the children or directly In front of a
child when that one becomes at"
The feather must not be touched by
the hands of the children on the floor
nor must they rise from the floor;
their hands must be kept under the
sheet all manipulations of the feather
being done by blowing.

Progressive Puzzle Party.

The requirements for this party are
children to make four at a table, as
many tally cards and pencils as
guests, box of stars for markers or
a punch and couple of prizes, more
If the hostess wishes.
Often enough puzzles may be Dor
rowed or they may be bought. For
very small children sliced animals
and sliced birds will be popular.
There should be as many puzzles as
children. Some times the puzzles are
given as prizes, then each guest takes
home one. All these arrangements

First Christmas Observance.

Christmas gets its name from the mass celebrated in the early days of the Christian church in honor of the birth of Christ. its first solemnization having been ordered by Pope Telespho- rus This was in or before the year l3S. for in that year Pope Telesphorus died.
 At first Christmas was what is known as movable feast. just as Easter Is now. and owing to misunder standings was celebrated as late IS April or May. In tue fourth century an ecclesiastical investigation was or dered and upon the authority of the tables of the eensors in the Roman archives Dec 25 was agreed upon as the date of the Saviour's nativity. Ira dition fixed the hour of birth at about midnight. and this led to the celebra ton of midnight mass in all the churches, second at dawn and a third in the later morning

The negro housewife in the West Indian Jungle finds housekeeping very easy. Fruit and vegetables grow wild all about the hut and the river abounds with fish. On wash day all she has to do is to pick few of the berries of the soap berry tree, take her clothes to the river and use the berries as she would use ordinary soap. Even her cooking pots grow on the trees. the calabash cut in halves being used for this purpose.
