The Hettinger County Herald is
seven years old, having entered upon
volume VIII the past week. John M.
and Martin j. Connolly, owners, edi-
tor and publisher, respectively, are
getting out one of the best papers in
the state, which is saying a great
deal. The paper is well edited and al
ways has a front page filled with
home prepared matter that is of in
terest to readers living in this part
of the state. The Connollys also
know what is good local news and
give their readers a liberal amount

According to late advices the north
branch now has daily mail service
from Mandan to Golden Valley. This
is to the border line of Dunn county
but it is not stated when the service
is to be extended through the county
to Killdeer. Last year the Northern
Pacific did not feel like agreeing to
keep the line open all winter. How
ever, it is not likely that there will be
any difficulty of that kind this year
and as soon as the remainder of the
line is turned over by the construction
company, regular mail service will be
extended to the terminal.

From the Settler:

J. D. Harris is back from Chicago
and it is announced that he is to. be
deputy under c. Scott, the new regis
ter of deeds.
A daily mail service has been es-
tablished on the railroad as far as
Golden Valley. It is expected that
by spring the service should extend
as far as Killdeer.
The editor Of the "Kernels" column
Of the Fargo Forum wants to know
whether Killdeer is spelled with one
or two Is. The plat of the town is
recorded under the name of Killdeer
hence it must be the proper way Of
spelling it.
In this issue of the Settler appears
the ad of the Mandan Mercantile Co
of Killdeer. This is one of the larg.
est and strongest concerns of this
kind in the northwest and their bust
ness methods are very satisfactory
to customers. They have a complete
stock at their Killdeer yard and the
manager, C. E. Peterson, is one Of
the most pleasant and accommodating
men that it has ever been our pleas
ure to meet. The Heaton and the
Durham people have also started
yards there which affords the Kill
deer people and the farmers tribu'
tary an opportunity of buying thei1
building material from three of thu
best concerns in the state.

SHOULD ELECT A
 PARENT AS DIRECTOR

The time is near at hand when new school director must be elect ed. and before the matter of select ing candidates is given more atren- tion, it would be well tc consider the adcisability of giving parents the the advisability of giving parents the preference in the matter
 It would not be natural for man or woman who has not a child of school agesto take as much personal interest in the public schools as one who has selfish interest in the wei fare of the schools. Thus to get the best services out of school director he or she should be a parent.
 In the past. this phase of the ques ton has usually been lost sight of and while the schools have managed to get along, 1t is probable that more general satisfaction would have re suited if only parents had been elect ed.-Ex.

BRAVERY OF GIRL
 BRINGS RICH REWARD

tBy Associated Press Correspondence)
 BOCHUM, Germany, Feb. 17-Both the iron cross and the medal for life saving decorate the breast of Frau lein Aust. a girl still in her teens and native of Bochum. When the war broke out, Miss Aust, like many other girls, experienced the desire to join the Red Cross. She knew her parents would object. so she obtained permis- sion of them to visit relatives at Muenster. but instead of proceeding there she went to a Red Cross train ing home and was soon drafted to the eastern front as a nurse. There her bravery on the batIefields of Poland, where she tended the wounded under fire, attracted attention from her su- periors, who reported instances of her courage to Field-Marshal von Hind enburg. The commander-in-chief thereupon decided to award her the Iron cross which he himself pinned on her blouse. A short time after ward Miss Aust, while on the Silesian frontier, jumped into the swollen river Oder and saved two children from drowning. For this heroic deed she was given the Life-Saving medal. She returned home at the end of Jan. uary for short rest and gave a com. plete surprise to her parents who had all the time believed she was with her relatives in Muenster.

GERMANS SAVING
 FOR WAR LOAN

tBy Associated Press Correspondenee)
 BERLIN, Feb. 17-A report on the German savings banks shows that they have done a satisfactory business since the war began. Tn the days around the end of July about s24.- O0O,OO0 more was withdrawn from them than was paid in; but in Aug ust the deposits exceeded the with drawals. In October, owing to the payment of subscriptions on the big national loan, the withdrawals again exceeded the deposits by some $90 - 000,0 900, but the reduction of deposits during the second half of the year was altogether only about 5000 ,000: and if the interest credited to depos- itors at the end of the year be taken into account, their holdings for the half year actually increased by all most s5O.OOO,OOO. For the entire year the increase was over s2OO, ,OOO. A con siderable number of savings banks have already issued their annual re- ports for 1914, and not one of them shows a reduction of deposits. Since the beginning of the new year a con siderable improvement in the busi ness of the banks has been observed. From various parts of the country 1t is reported that deposits have been heavier than ever before. People are apparently laying by money to sub scribe to the next big war loan, which will probably be brought out in about two months.

OLD SCHEME WILL
 NOT WORK NOWADAYS

Soldiers stationed in Alaska who are desirous of quitting the service will have to originate a new scheme from that which has been practice in the past. In days gone by they were able to get out of the service by get ting into jail for a short term by sell ling liquor to Indians Convictions in civil courts were always followed by dishonorable discharges from the United States army. Now it is diff ferent. After a convicted soldier has served his time in prison he is turned over to the military authorities and subject to a court martial. If con victed the sodier goes to Alcartraz prison in San Francisco instead of leaving the army with dishonorable discharge.

ADMIRAL JELL|COE
 HAS GOOD RECORD

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 LONDON, Feb. 17-No popular sail or is so little known personally to the British people as Admiral Jelli. COG. Yet the Admiral has an adven. turous record and has three times in his career recovered from wounds that were at first believed to be ia. tai.
 Jellicoe comes from family of French extraction, and his father was a sailor. As a midshipman he ex- celled his fellows in his studies and attention to duty and won nearly all the prizes offered on his training ship. He took part in the lombard ment of Alexandria, fought at Tel.el- Kebir, and narrowly escaped from drowning when the Victoria sank. He also fought through the Boxer rebel lion in China. As an administrator his career has been no less dlstin- guished. for he served as director of naval ordnance and as controller of the navy.
 writer describes him as A slender man, below the average height, with calm grey eyes and an air of perfect confidence. At the same time there is a lurking sense of humor in the lines about the eyes and mouth. In his small, wiry figure, he resembles the late Lord Roberts.

END OF FAMOUS
 DIVORCE CASE

The Rota tribunal has rejected Count Boni de Castellane's suit for the annulment of his marriage to Anna Gould. now the Duchess of Talley- rand. Arguments in the third trial of the case were closed on February 10, after which the court announced it's decision.
 Count de Castellane's appeal to the Vatican courts for the annulment of his marriage to Anna Gould has been pending since 1s1O Under the ecclesi- astical judicial system, before a re- ligious marriage Is annuled. the case must be heard three times by the Roat tribunal, each time by three different judges, and two decisions must favor the contestant before the judgment is final. In the Castellane case the present Duchess of Talleyrand has won two of these decisions.
 If the Count had been successful in obtaining annulment of the religious marriage he would have been enabled to marry again. Under the French law he would have obtained possession of their three children who given into the custody of their mother when she obtained a divorce in the Paris courts in 1906.
 De Castellane based his petition upon affidavits made by Prince del Drago and Jean de Castellane. the Counts brother. who declared the then Miss Gould invalidated the religious by declaring to them a quarter of an hour before the ceremony was per. formed that she intended to divorce her husband if ever he were unfaith l full to her

HOW EXPLOSIVES ARE MADE IN
 ENGLAND

(By Associated Press Correspondence LONDON, Feb. 17-How the Brit. ish make their explosives is described by a writer who was given permission to go through a factory now turning out much of the material used in the British and French shells.
 The factory grounds are connected by telephones and tram lines, says the writer, and in addition to the build ings there are a number of embank- , ments. Some of the sheds are high ly dangerous. First among these comes the nitrating room, in which a tank filled with a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acid is kept in state of violent agitation by means of com. pressed air jets, shot up from the bottom. Above the acid a small stream of pure glycerine trickles in. Below the vat is a pool of water in which the vats's contents could be drowned were the mixing to go wrong. The acids when mixed with the glycerine become nitro-glycerine ten times more powerful than gun powder and likely to explode at the slightest shock.
 The fumes arising from the tank are closely watched while the con tents are cooled by means of chilled brine, forced through coil of pipe at the bottom. Should the slightest trace of red appear, the attendant must drown the stuff on the second.
 When ready the crude explosive runs through a lead pipe to another room. There it is allowed to settle in vats, and the surface is skinned off If the compound has not been properly mixed, a ring of peacock green appears on the surface of the tank, and the attendants dash out of the building to save themselves if they can.
 The third building is devoted to the washing of the nitro-glycerine to get rid of the excess of free acid. Two washings are gone through, the first in pure water agitated by air jets and the second time in water to which a strong solution of soda has been added to neutralize the remaining traces of acid.
 Nitro-glycerine is now used for many purposes in the form already reached. But to make dynamite, it is taken to a fourth shed, where fine ly ground wood pulp and Chilean salt petre are added. This yellowish, soapy mixture is harmless enough un- less fired by strong concussion, gen erally by a cap of illuminate of mer- cury, an explosive that goes off at the merest touch.
 Dynamite is rarely used in torpe- does, because gun cotton Is more convenient. Some forms of it, how ever, enter into submarine mines.
 The making of Melinite and picric acid and of trinito-touol, the the terri ble explosives used in aerial bombs, is kept from the public, while abso- lute secrecy surrounds the making of cordite, lyddlte and the mysterious B" powder. Not even the work men and the chemists employed in making these explosives know the combinations into which they are mixed for service use. It is said that some of the materials turned out in the explosive factories, which em- ployes and chemists think are abso- lutely necessary to the production of service charges, are not used at all. They are asked for simply to mislead government secrets.
