MERELY COMMENT

Now that election is over the muck
rakes can be laid away for a spell
And it is just about time to get out
the garden rakes.
Consider the babies and pasteurize
your milk.
1t is awfuIIy simple to do the pas
teUrizing, and it might be simply aw-
full if you do not do it.
Milk dealers are threatening to ask
that the state troops be called out
to protect their shipments.
1t might not be a bad idea to call
out the common and human sense Of
those dealers and get them to play
a f1fty-fifty game with the farmers.
A little Jolt to our memory calls
back the fact that some months ago
the Oak Park 81" was ordered to
elevate it's tracks out in Austin and
Oak Park.
Yet they are still running along
the ground.
Probably need several more COLI
sions or deaths before real action will
be taken.
Cheer up! It won't be long now be-
fore you can take those itchy things
off.
'TwouId be interesting to know if
the thief killed Tuesday was former
Iy hired thug with special police
mans badge during the garment
workers strike.
A special cops badge was found on
the mans clothing.
Hired guards used to intimidate
women and girls during a strike are
usually men who shirk actual work.
When the strike they are detailed
on is over they usually turn back to
getting money the easiest way.
And It is pretty blamed easy in Chi
cago to bling somebody on the head
and grab their dough and get away
with it.

WHITE SLAVERY CHARGE
AGAINST CALVIN farmer
Martin Fremsted Held on Charge of
Transporting Eighteen Year Old
Girl From Calgary

Martin Fremstad, a resident of
this county, living between Calvin
and Sarles, was during the past week
taken before a United States commits
sioner at Rolla, where he waived ex-
animation at {. preliminary hearing
upon charge of white slavery, under
the Mann act. The arrest was made
by Captain Pat Bowler, of Rolla,
who is deputy United States mar
shall The charge against Fremstad
is that during the month of April
this year he transported a young
woman of about eighteen years of age
from Calgary. Alberta to point
across the line in the United States.
Fremsted will! have to appear for
trial at the regular term of U. s..

some time in November in case the
grand jury find true bill against

HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF POTATOES

There are reports of heavy potato
shipments being made over all
branches of the Great Northern this
fall. The report of the train dis
patcher of the Dakota division of tn e
Great Northern at Grand Forks shows
that at the present time an average
of ITO cars of potatoes are being
shipped daily over this division Of
their railroad system, while it is ex-
pected that in the near future this
average will be increased to $50 cars
daily. 1t is also stated that the
Sarles line is handling between 35
and 40 cars daily at the present time.
From this it is evident that the sup.
ply of potatoes from the northern
parts of this state and Minnesota is
much better than expected when spud
digging started couple of weeks ago
Consequently the outlook for top
price of over the two dollar mark
next spring is not quite so bright as
it was couple of weeks ago.

MUNICH AUTO VICTIM
PATIENT IN HOSPITAL
While Laying There Learns of His
Loss by Fire When Barn and
Feed Are DESTROYED

That misfortunes seldom come
single is evidenced again in the case
of Mike Schmaus OF Munich, who is
confined to the general hospital in
Devils Lake with several fractures
received in an automobile accident.
About the time Mr.. Schmaus was in
jured the barn on the Ellenbaum farm
near Munich, which he rents, was de-
stroyed by fire and several hundred
bushels OF oats as we'll as some farm
implements and tools. There was
no Insurance. Mr.. Schmaus was hurt
on the road adjoining Munich on the
west side and little north of the
Henry Janzen farm. 1t appears that
he was driving ct too great a rate of
speed and turned too sharply to get
into the ruts of the road. The car
was found Immediately afterward turn
ed completely around and on its side
with one hind wheel smashed. From
under the hind wheel and the back
part of the car, Mr. Schmaus was
rescued withsshis leg broken near the
thigh, his arm broken under the
shoulder, his ear cut and otherwise
bruised. A stranger riding in the
car was knocked senseless, but ap.
peared to be otherwise uninjured.
He had been thrown well ahead and
free of the car.

FLINT'S WIFE ASKS ALIMONy

The case of Ben Flint. who was
brought back from Watertown, South
Dakota, last week by Sheriff Kelland
upon charge of wife desertion is
still pending without a hearing hav-
ing been held. 1t is understood that
the wife of Flint was here on Satur-
day from Nekoma and in an interview
had during the afternoon in States
Attorny Grimson's office expressed
her Willingness to withdraw her COM
paint if Flint would give her divorce
and alimony amounting to $500 over
and above costs incurred in connection
with the case. In case this is done
it is likely that Flint will be given
a suspended sentence when brought
into court The course is one that
will have to receive the approval OF
the states attorney. Another impor-
tant feature is that Mrs. Flint insists
on seeing the cash before she with
draws her complaint.

End Comes Unexpectedly Monday
Morning to Hugh Douglas Vic
tim of Weak Heart

Last Monday morning another OF
Cavalier county's early settlers pas
sed out of this life into the greater
life beyond the grave The end came
at 1915 a. m. without struggle,
he passing peacefully away in the
arms of his wife and son as they tried
to assist him.
Hugh Douglas was born in Peel
county, Ont, near Toronto, Novem-
ber 18th, sixty-eight years ago. His
boyhood days were spent in the vi
cinity of his birth and in early man
hood he went to the state OF Michigan
where he spent several years in the
woods and sawmills. In 1879 Mr..
Douglas came west landing at Fargo,
working there for some time, but
soon pushed farther north, going up
into Canada where he took up some
land. This land he soon abandone d
because there was no work to be
found in that vicinity. Finally, in
his search for a suitable place to
make home he pushed into the un.
surveyed wilderness of western Penn
bina county, now Cavalier county.

of the present village of Osnabrock.
On August 5th, 1885, thirty.one
years ago, the deceased was married
at Neche to Miss Marinda Calder,
who had filed on land in the wilder.
ness. MIR. Douglas has been closely
identified for many years with the
official life of the township of Alma,
and his judgment in the conduct of
its affairs has been greatly relied on.
He was conservative in all depart
ments, business, official and private
life, doing nothing without careful
consideration, and the high esteem
in which he is held by his fellowmen
proves that his judgment was clear.
The members left to mourn the loss
are a wife, Mrs. Douglas; son,
Edgar K. daughter, Marion; a
brother, Andrew, at Shelburn, Ont,
and two sisters, Marion and Annie.
at Brampton, Ont. Four brothers
and sister have passed away before,
his brother, John, who lived in this
vicinity for many years died short
time ago in Michigan.
The funeral was held yesterday at
the home of his son, Edgar, two miles
northwest of osnabrock. From there
the procession proceeded to the Pres
byterian church where services were
conducted by Rev. S. Newlove, in
terment taking place at the Union
cemetery beside the remains of Asa

at Grand Forks, arrived Monday to
take charge of the department of his
tory in our junior-senior high school.
This week closes the third week of
school. Several pupils have entered
each department since the beginning
of the term. 1t is important that pu-
pills expecting to be promoted at the
end of the year enter as early as pos
sible Parents should bear in mind
that promotions are made upon abili-
ty to do the advanced work rather
than upon the number of facts at the
pupils command at the time of final
examination
A re-adjustment of the junior
senior high school program has been
perfected. While il has been found
impossible to permit each individual
pupil to pursue the courses desired
none will be- handicapped.
