WELL KNOWN NURSE DIES

The many friends of Miss Kath-
ryn Laurence are in deep mourning
for their gentle companion, who
passed away at the St. Joseph's hos
pital Wednesday evening at 9:3C
o'clock.
Miss Laurence was born in Craw-
ford County, Wis, on August 6th
1889. She lost her mother when but
a little girl of eleven years, but is
survived by her father, Adam Lau-
renee, and a brother, R. B. Laurence,
the former arriving in time for a
few last words.
She received her training in nurs-
ing at the Prairie Du Chen Sanitar-
ium in Wisconsin, graduating in
1912. Since then she had followed
her profession in her home state and
also in Minnesota and South Dakota,
coming to Dickinson from the New
England territory a year ago in
April and making her headquarters
here. She was a particular friend of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. H. Montgomery,
who sorrow for her as for a near rel
ative. ......r
Never feeling very strong and
hardly recovered from a recent ap-
pendicitis operation at the local hos
pital, Miss Laurence devoted her time
faithfully to her work. She was on
a case at New England, when she
took i'll the first of last week, and
was hurried here in as fast a trip as
could be made over the rough and
muddy roads. The doctors pronounc-
ed her case as typhoid-pneumonia
but on account of her rundown con-
dition had to fight losing battle.
Altho she failed steadily, she was
conscious almost to the very end, ad-
dressing her last words to her
father, who with Mr.. and Mrs. Mont
gomery were with her the last mo-
ments. Nurses Una Tobin and Lillian
Hanke had charge Of the patient.
Her brother, who is station agent
at Almont, and his wife arrived
Thursday. Funeral services will be
held at the Episcopal church this
(F'riday) afternoon at 2:3O, Rev. Alex
Coffin officiating. A quartet COM
posed Of Misses Ivy Conant, Margaret
Stewart, ~. j. Orchard and Rev
Alex. Coffin will render "Abide With

Interest In Elks' State Convention
In Dickinson, June 16 and II
Assuming Large Proportions

pushing and chronicle this great
event for the big dailies.
AS was stated in the early part
Of the publicity campaign, Dickinson
5Elks are going to stage a wild west
pageant that would stagger Sitting
Bull' if he could come back from the
Happy Hunting Ground" and wit
ness it. The small details are lack
ing, but the big plans are we'll under
way already for the most mammoth,
and probably the last, great wild
west pageant depicting the passing of
the picturesque western cowboy and
his daring feats. These magnificent
attractions together with two bands,
motion picture cameras, gigantic
parades and a continuous round of
pleasure and thrills throughout the
two days, June 18th and 18th, should
give you some idea of what kind of
a time the Elks are capable Of put
ting on.
Hotel accommodations have been
greatly increased of late and the
committees have little fear but what
all visiting Elks can be taken care Of.

SCHEF|ELD A GARDEN
SPOT IN MID PRAIRIE

About midway between here and
New England lies the peaceful little
valley of Schefield with it's pretty,
comfortable homes and the magnifi-
cent St. Plus church. The rich
prairie that lured these people to
seek their fortunes here, stretches out
in all directions as if beckoning to
the world to be peaceful and invit-
ing more home.loving, happy beings
to come and join the ones it is fos-
tering. = ..-.. '--.' F., 5='..
ST. Plus church, finished in 1911,
lis a pretty wood and cement struc-
ture and has recently been fitted up
with new hardwood seats and chairs.
The beautiful affairs, finished in white
and gold, have just lately been in
stalled, giving the church an air of
completeness that is seldom excelled
by houses of worship in large cities.
The thing which most impressed
the writer was the large attendance
at high mass and the pretty cere-
monies attending the Palm Sunday
services. Nearly six hundred people
gathered for this annual devotion and
one cannot help but. firmly believe
that these Christian folks are thankful
to their maker for all they possess.
J. P. Brittner is the proud owner
of a fine, modern home, in the base
ment Of which he carries a small
stock Of staple groceries, tobacco and
candy, besides two pool tables. There
are other good houses, the owners of
which the reporter was not able to
meet. 49, ~.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part
Of the trip was the visit to the farm
home Of Charles Herauf, about four
miles southwest of Schefield. Here
was found a real happy home-from
grandmother to the smallest child
all happy, well and contented. The
Heraufs had for their guests John
Metz and family, from ten miles
east, Robert Smith, c. J. Fox and the
Press representative from Dickinson.
Mr.. Fox drove the party out in one
of his new Empire cars.

AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
GOOD ROAD BOOSTERS

The city of Dickinson has made
several attempts to organize the
automobile owners into a live or
ganization, but without any practical
effect.
A year ago last October the Com
mercial Club brought this matter be-
fore it's members, a special committee
being elected to form live associ-
alton. This seems to have died a
natural death and it will be neces-
sary either to resurrect the old COM
mittee from it's grave or organize a
new committee.
Why not call a meeting Of all the
automobile owners together with sew
eral auto garage proprietors and
statesmen, in order that something
definite be done.
There is need of this organization,
for many reasons, even for pleasure
able auto trips, but more especially
for the city and for good roads move
Issents.
EA1This coming month and the fol
lowing months of June and July we
shall have number of visitors, whose
interests in the city and county
might be intensified by the courtesies
Of live automobile club.
The sociability tour from the Twin
Cities Of St. Paul and Minneapolis
for the Red Trail Bridge dedication
will see at least 200 automobiles
passing through Dickinson. The
autoists should surely be ready tc
meet them between this city and
Taylor, escorting them in regal
style through the interesting places
of the neighborhood and otherwise
making their short stay plea SAINT.
There is need also for this or q
similar club to enter into a contest
with other counties in seeing that the
roads within the county borders are
put in shape for the tremendous
traffic of the summer and succeeding
years. Morton county has two live
organiza tions, for this purpose, one
for "Good Roads" and the second is
a splendid Automobile Association.
Wake up Mr.. Automobile Owner
and get in on the firing line.

THE GREEN WORM PEST
AND ITS PARASITE
=

R. w. Smith of the Dickinson sub
station has communicated with DR..
w. B. Bell, entomologist at the state
agricultural college, regarding the
green worms which the Y. w. A.
is trying to rid the trees of in the
city.
cocoon campaign being waged in
Dickinson by the Y. w. A.. He
stated that spraying would probably
not be necessary after such thor
.ough campaign but that if necessary
paris green or arsenate of lead could
be used to spray trees infested with
the green caterpillars.
He strongly advised saving those
cocoons containing the living para
sites which have killed the cater
pillar within. These should be placed
among the trees where they will ma
ture into ichneumon flies which will
help destroy the next crop of green
caterpillars. The ichneumon fly is a
small wasp-ike insect about n inch
long. It stings the green caterpillar,
inserting eggs, the larvae of which
feed on the caterpillar but do not
cause its death until after it has spun
the cocoon The larvae Of these flies
then spin small web-like bags inside
the large cocoon, often completely fill
ling it with several dozen tiny bags
from which will emerge the ichneu-
mon flies which are entirely harmless
and which live on caterpillars. ~

ished by DR.. Bell concerning the

Attractions that will be staged at
the coming Elks' state convention
will -surpass all previous attempts at
entertaining big gatherings in Dick
inson. Nothing will be spared by the
committees in charge to put on the
biggest two day event that has ever
happened on North Dakota soil.
Exalted Ruler J. F. Brodie, chair
man of the general committee, is in
charge of affairs and will see to it
that the reputation of the Elks for do
ing things and doing them with a
punch is kept to the letter.
Some Of the drawing cards will be
the presence Of William F. Cody
("Bufalo Bill"), who gave his word
to Mr.. Brodie that he would be here
unless things beyond his control pre-
vented. Russell, the famous poet
and cowboy artist, has consented to
come and will make many sketches
of the oldtimers. Colburn, who gave
the big write-up on the St. Paul
winter carnival, will also be among
the distinguished visitors and at the
same time get busy with his pencil

R, R. TRA|NMEN PRESENT
THEIR SIDE Of THE CASE

The Press has interviewed several
of the railroad boys who work out of
and around Dickinson and finds that
they are anxious to present their side
Of the case to the people, but especi-
ally to the merchant, who they figure
will be greatly benefited if the eight
hour day is granted by the railway
companies.
We are not well enough posted on
railroad affairs to judge the argu-
ments that are set forth in the fol-
lowing few contentious of the train
men, but we are willing to present
the cause of the railway employees to
the readers and let them have a
'look-in' from time to time as
much information comes to our
notice. The following are few of
the main reasons why the eight-hour
day is desired and being demanded
by railway employees:
The special points that they wish
to bring out are the ideas Of quicker
transportation, shorter hours for
themselves and to have the railways
make up their trains consistent with
the power so the 12h mile-an-hour
schedule can be depended upon in
stead of running heavy, slow-going
freights.
The 1O-hour system now in vogue
is claimed to be Objectionable to the
employees for the reason that if the
crews are kept on the road-over 10
hours their pay is the same on
overtime as regular time. Hence the
railway companies have little con-
Germ whether they work the crews 1C
hours or Is hours and so minutes
as one more car. of freight added tC
the train will more than make up fo1
the wages paid for overtime.
If the demand of the men for ar
eight-hour day, with payment Of time
and one-half for overtime is granted
the railroads will see to it that
there is very little overtime and will
move their trains faster, and if nee.
essary make shorter trains to gel
them over the road within the 12K
mile-an-hour schedule and avoid un'
necessary delays.
The trainmen also claim that "a
railroads in the United States ars
now running on the 121h mile basis
and that none of these are in the
hands of the receivers, which is gooC
proof that it is not costing any
considerable amount to speed up then
trains and give their men an eight.
hour day.
Another contention of the train.
men is that the tendency of the rail.
way management is toward the in.
creasing of the capacity of the trains
regardless of the time required tc
move over the road. The hours now
lost in the slow movement of freight
if saved, would mean millions to the
commercial interests of the United
States. Also that this question Of az
eight-hour day for train crews should
come right home to the shippers ane
receivers Of freight.
There is no demand for any change
in the passenger service.

ACCIDENT C ! FROM :! ron 1. RIDING DIN :.
3. HHB|KE'' ON SIDEWALKS

The following is proof again that
some one must pay the penalty be-
fore we crawl out of the rut of let
ting things go as they are:
"Lewista, two years old daughter
of Judge j. M. Hanley, was serious
ly injured late Friday afternoon when

the Hanley home with his bicycle
crashed into the little girl.
The boy was thrown. from his BIZ

into the house and a physician called.
No bones were broken but the girl
was badly bruised and a small cut
was inflicted above the ear. She was
taken violently i'll after the accident.
This morning, however, she had ap-
sparently recovered. 4,4ss s4 sassss.
The police department of the city
as a result OF the accident, this morn
ing issued an edict that bicycles must
be kept OFF the sidewalks "There
have been numerous complaints Of
near accidents said Police Commits
sioner M. S. Lang this morning, ttand
many riders have been warned per-
sonally. However, this seems to have
done but little good and from now on
the city ordinance will be strictly en-
forced. -Mandan Daily Pioneer. II

taken this time to enforce the vehicle
speed limit and think now that it is
quite safe for pedestrians to chance

FARMERS CAN'T WORK
WEATHER MAN ON DRUNK

Farming operations were tempo
rarily halted by the rain and snow
which swept over this section of the
country for two days the first of the
week, beginning with "April showers
and winding up with a nice January
snow Storm" which was quite general
north and south but did not reach
farther east than Antelope, while
Glendive to the west is reported to
be quite dry and dusty.
The Dickinson sub station reports
a precipitation of 2.69 inches for the
two days. rain and snow. Over 200
telephones in the city were out of
commission Friday as a result of the
storm, the heavy damp snow weigh
ing down on and penetrating into the
cables.
So far as we have learned stock
has not suffered very much and the
weather bids fair to square around
soon, leaving US with green pastures.
Among those who had crops in be-
fore the storm were J. V. Jessen,
about 100 acres west of town and Dan
Weigum, southwest Of town with 200
acres of wheat. Field work, however
will still not be so very late and the
farmers will be amply able to take
care of their increased crop acreage
which, from reports, will be quite ex-
tensive, unless we have more bad
weather.

Pupa stage-The caterpillars spin

purpose. 49,, xa..,- -, 49,. ~.
