GIRLS SCALP TORN
OFF BY WINDMILL

Minot, N. D., Sept. 28.-Myrtle
Natwick, ffteen-year-old girl
who was employed in the farm
home of Godmand Knutsvig, who
lives eighteen miles north and four
miles east of Granville, had her
scalp completely torn from her
head when her hair caught In the
gearing Of a windmill on the farm
yesterday morning, when she tn: ew
the mill into gear to get water for
her early morning work in the
house.
She had luXuriant head of hair
and 1t was loose about her shou'-
ders at the time. A terrific wind
was blowing at the time, and after
she had thrown the machinery into
gear the wind blew her hair into
the connecting gearing and she was
gradually being wound into the
cogs. To save her life, she threw
her hands against the shafting and
the power of the machinery tore her
scalp together with her hair f.om
the skull. In front the scalp was
torn down to the edge Of the hair,
and the rest of the skull was left
bare except for small margin
about the edges.
No one heard her scream because
the wind was blowing such a gale
that her voice did not carry. Aft-r
the scalp was torn from her head,
she managed to get to the house, a
distance Of couple of hundred
feet, and then tainted. Medical
aid was sent for and trained nurse
procured and at this time she ID
resting as easy as it is possible un-
der the circumstances.
Tire people in whose nome sa>
was employed are doing all they
can for her. Her mother Is dead.
but her father and brother live at
the same place, and are with her.
She is a lovable girl, industrious
and preposscssing. Unless some
complications set in it is expected
that she will recover, though she
will be SCARED for life.
She says that when her hair
caught in the machinery she ex-
pected to be killed and that she ex-
erted all her strength to prevent
herself from being drawn into the
cogs and crushed. 1t YVES this
heroic effort to save her life that
tore her scalp from the skull.
Because Of the cold weather and
the high wind which was blowing
at the time the physicians reached
the place, it was deemed best to
make no attempt to remove the in
jured girl to a hospital but to cara
for her injuries at the home Of the
people with whom she lived.

DR.. A. M. Limburg the fore part
Of the week received a folding boat
which he will use during the fall in
hunting ducks. The boat has light
wood sides and canvas bottom.
and weighs only so pounds. It
folds up SO it can be carried either
under the arm or can be tied to any
part-of an automobile. 1t is about
the handiest boat we have ever seen
for hunting ducks. and we were
more than glad to see the doctor
get it until he told us that he wasn't
going to lend it to anyone. The
doctor without any question hunts
more than does anyone else in the
county, and is always able to get
more than his share of the game.
but On practically every trip he
makes he is compelled to lose a
number of big birds on account of
not being able to get them out Of
the water. With this new boat ha
will be able to get everything he
shoots as long as it doesn't sink out
Of sight. 5 .7=' -,

FALL PLANTED ONIONS

The first days of spring always
bring with them a relish for some
thing fresh from the garden, and
none of the early vegetables are
more welcome than onions. Hetty
Green attributed her long and
healthful life largely to the fact
that onions were part of her
daily food. In hospitals they are
largely used, being recognized as
equal to drugs for killing germs.
It is not generally known that
onions of the perennial variety may
be planted in autumn, and will be
ready for use almost as soon as the
snow is gone. In fact, they have
been found to make quite star,
under the snow.
The "sets" of this variety grow
at the ends of the seed stalks, and
should be gathered as soon as form.
ed, and kept in cool, dry place un'
til September or October. Make q
rich bed and plant as ordinary onior
sets, and they will be ready for the
table weeks before the ordinary
onions are large enough to use
While these onions are perennial
and increase both by roots and tir

a new bed is put out every year in.
stead of allowing them to multiply
in their own fashion.
These onions never grow large
bulbs. In fact, the bulb is little if
any larger than the stem. But it
is white and tender in early spring
It is slightly stronger in flavor than
ordinary onions. but If this is dis
liked, soaking the onions for an
hour or two in salt water just be-
fore serving will dissipate some OF
the flavor.

TO THE TAXPAYERS OF LE-
FLORE COUNTY:

~ 11AL 1HA-1 "A LINZ VI LII
FLORE COUNTY:
The law authorizing the Board
of Supervisors to issue $6OO,0OO.OO
additional bonds for road improve
ment has been passed by the Leg
islature, and is now law.
These bonds can be sold after
your approval at an election to be
held On the 25th day of April. If
the majority of those voting ap-
prove the bond sale your Board
then will Immediately proceed TO
sell same and advertise for bids
for road Improvement.
For your information: The
clause in the bill authorizing only
$1OO,OOO.O0 of the bonds to be sold
at one time was for the purpose
of safeguarding your interest, the
bonds can be sold from time to
time and save as much interest as
possible. The Board has the right
to sell the bonds in $1O0,OOO.OO
blocks as often as is necessary.
There is nothing in the bill to
prevent the Board from carrying
out their plans.
The Board will go into this road
Improvement feeling the great
responsibility upon them. They
will be dilligent and faithful; they
will investigate thoroughly before
advertising for contracts the va
rlous kinds of permanent roads
and the different materials used,
the cost Of construction and main
tenance, and will leave nothing
undone in order that you may
get the very best results for your
money.
The Board will ask the active
cooperation Of the taxpayers of
the county in carrying out this
project, and will ask that you
study this question yourselves as
you will be called upon to confer
with the Board from time to time.
If by your vote you approve the
sale of the bonds, the Board will
then Immediately investigate; and

holders to construct at no very
distant date a magnificent four or

building on their splendidly locat-
ed property, which will be an orna-
ment to our progressive city and
county.
The capital stock of the new
bank is $35, ,OOO,. all of which has
been subscribed and paid in, and
the capital stock will be increased
from time 10 time as necessity

investigations, they will call con-
ference of the business men of the
county and make a full report and
receive from them such sugges-
tions and advice necessary to help
the Board in carrying out this
work in a way that will be to the
very best interest of the county
and the public at large.
The Board will give you the
very best service their time and
ability will permit, and with your
earnest cooperation, we feel sure
this work will be carried out to a
successful termination.
The Board will straighten many
of the roads and where necessary
will move them to higher ground,
and they will expect the land to
be donated in every instance, and
unless every citizen can enter into
this from a public-spirited and
patriotic standpoint the Board will
be seriously handicapped. Every
neighborhood where road changes
must be made, the people must
get together and see that there
will be no contest as to rights Of
ways.
These roads are permanent and
will be here for generations after
we are gone. Let us look to the
future as we'll as the present. This
permanent Improvement is yours,
and the Board will expect you to
make such suggestions at any and
all times you may see fit.
