He had been working for the differ.
ent stock yards companies for many
years. How long he couldn't remem-
Der.
The reporter knows very little Ger
man. Losing track of Mrs. F1orars
story he asked the son to translate
for him. And Frank couldn't. He
couldn't understand what his moth
er said to him. Sometimes it took her
many minutes to convey a thought
to him in a jargon of German, Polish
and English. The boy was asked why
he couldn't understand what his
mother said to him. He said that she
worked ever since he could remem-
Der and that he also was taken from
school to help support the family be-
fore he could speak German.
Bit by bit the story come out. Mrs.
Floral was at first suspicious. She
thought the reporter had come to
steal her little brass check.
Hans Floral, the husband, works
long hours and Frank is out looking
for a job. And the little woman sits
alone in the kitchen with a big tom
cat waiting her youngest son to to
come home from school. She is
teaching him German and he is try
ing to improve her English. She told
the reporter she wasn't trying to
learn very hard because she was ''too
old"

THE CAT CAME BACK

Frederick H. Cowell of New Lon
don, Conn.,, express messenger on the
Central Vermont railroad, has given
home for life to a tramp cat of un-
known breed. Efforts to induce her
to take up her residence elsewhere in
the city had been futile, and Mr..
Crowell was asked to remove her be-
yond the city limits even unto the
borders of Massachusetts,.
He consented, and placing her in a
bag, took her on board the train and
at Mansfield, forty-eight miles away,
laid the bag carefully down on the
station platform as the train pulled
out. Four days later that same, i'd
entical, unmistakable cat appeared at
Mr.. Crowell's door and asked for her
breakfast. By her bedraggled appear
ance, she had walked the long dis
tance.

TOO BIC FOR
THE MARINES

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 2.-Michael Tu-
holsli, steel mill puddler from
Cleveland, Ohio, aged % years, was
today rejected at the United States
Marine Corps recruiting station in this
city, as "too big and husky" for the
Marine Corps.
Tuholski measured six feet and five
inches in his stocking feet and weigh
ed 257 pounds without clothing. The
medical examiner pronounced him a
perfect physical specimen, but the
maximum height is 70 inches and no
giants or pigmies are wanted in the
Marine Corps, according to Sergeant
Michael DeBoe, who is in charge Of
the local recruiting station for sea SOL
diers.
The giant recruit, who says he is no
white hope and has no desire to meet
Jess Willard or Frank Moran, will re-
sumo pudding in the mills, he told
DeBoe when the latter rejected him.

CH|LO LABOR
BILL PASSED
BY THE HOUSE

PRODUCED BY MINORS UNDER
IA FROM INTERSTATE CON-
MERGE.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The Keating
bill barring from interstate commerce
the products of child labor was passed
by the house yesterday, 337 to as, and
now goes to the Senate.
1t imposes heavy penalties for in
terstate Shipment and commodity in

workshops or manufacturing establish
NETS.
Where children are employed at
night or more than eight hours a day
in this latter class of industries, the
minimum age is 16 instead of IA.
Opposition to the bill came largely
from the South. Representative Webb
of North Carolina, chairman of the
House judiciary committee, urged that
it was unconstitutional, and sought
successfully to exempt he children of
widows from its operation.
Former Speaker Cannon offered an
amendment to exempt canneries, be-
cause of competition with the Gamer
les across the Canadian line, where no
le.triction on child labor applies. The
material change lade in the adoption

FRONT SEAT IS
ADVANTAGEOUS

Among the features of the new SER
les II Studebaker cars that are at
tracing much attention are the divid
ed front seats on both the four-cylin-
der and six-cylinder seven passenger
models. ...
Not only are these front seats di-
vided and of the individual type, but
they are also adjustable fore and aft.
Another novel feature is that the seats
may be removed if the driver desires,
an advantage that is particularly ap-
preciated during the open touring
season, when many motorists like to
camp out in their cars over night.
By reason of the fore and aft ad-
justment, passengers of any size may
be comfortably accommodated in the
front seats. The adjustment process
is, a simple one, requiring only the re-
leasing or Tightening of set screw.
Setting the seat at it's maximum dis
tance to the rear provides seating
comfort for the tallest driver, and set.
ting it forward is a convenience for
the benefit of. drivers of smaller size.
When the seats are removed, it is
possible to lay a cot from front to
rear, for purposes of camping out
On cool summer nights the side cur
tains may be drawn and ventilation
supplied through the double ventilat.
ing windshield. On warm nights ;ae
curtains are not necessary. Thus, 3
motorist can get away from sleep ne
in stuffy room on warm nights, ant
yet accorded ample protection OF
cool nights.
A further use is that, when the from
seat next to the driver is removed
the car can be employed to carr!
bulky articles, such as small wagon
or baby carriages, which otherwis
would be difficult to handle. Subur
banites particularly find this an ad
vantage.
In addition to their utilitarian val
ue, the divided front seats are design
ed with an eye to comfort. An en-
gineer, after visiting recent autonlo
bile show and making it a point to 81
in the different cars, praised the Stud
ebaker for it's front seat comfort.

STATE PATRIOTISM -.It
DE -OPING

AS North Dakota grows older, state
patriotism develops and the tendency
to support home institutions becomes
stronger. Constantly new Institutions
to serve our own people are being de-
veloped in the state. At Grand Forks
recently one Of the indications of this
was noted when the Great Northern
Life Insurance Company held it's an
nual meeting and elected E. ]. Lander
a former president of the North Da-
kota Federation of Commercial Clubs,
to it's presidency. The Great North
ern Life Insurance Company is a
North Dakota institution, with North
Dakota men in charge of it and North
Dakota capital behind it, and as such
it is receiving the support of North
Dakota people.

AGED PIONEER
PASSES away
A WELL ROUNDED LIFE SPENT
IN UNSELFISH SERVICE FOR
OTHERS.

Mrs. Kriste Nestegard was born
April so, 1884, in the town of Halling-
dial, Norway, and came to this state in
the earl eighties and with her husband
who survives her, settled on farm in
Big Coulee township where they lived
about thirty years.
In the land of her birth was also
born the boy who some day by the
mysteries Of love, was to discover the
sweet spirit that was to be his bride,
and when the years rolled around
they were united in happy wedlock.
For almost sixty years these two
walked together the way of life.
Her old friends and neighbors speak
of her as beautiful christian lady,
faithful in all the relations of life, un-
til now, in ripened years, with life
we'll finished, she has gone into the
home prepared for the faithful. Her
many friends and neighbors will
greatly miss her in the community
where she has lived so many years.
The love and esteem in which she was
held by the ladies of Big Coulee con-
gregation was shown by the beautiful
wreath which they laid on the casket.
She passed away very peacefully on
Tuesday morning, Jan. Is, leaving Of
the immediate family to mourn her
death, the aged husband, Ole S. Nes-
tegard; daughter, Mrs. C. T. Studness;
sons Lars O., Sander o., and Knute.
The funeral services were held in Big
Coulee church Feb. 1st, conducted by
Rev. K. o. Raftshol. Interment was
made in the cemetary near the church.

REAL PROSPERITY is HERE

That the coming year will be the
most prosperous that has been enjoyed
by the United States in many years
seems to be the general opinion of
those who are in the best position to
know. The Chamber of Commerce of
the United States has just made pub
lie thru it's National Councillor for
North Dakota, who is located at Grand
Forks, its General Crop and Business
Conditions report prepared by spec
ial committee of tie Chamber. This
report outlines conditions fully. In
part it states that the crop yields in
general, other than cotton, exceed
those of any year known in Oar his
tory. This is true in especial of the
small grains as whole, and is par
ticularly true Of all the forage crops
which are in abundance beyond pre-
cedent. This latter fact is one that is
most significant and Of very large mo-
ment to the country as whole.
The acreage sown to winter wheat
is about 121s per cent less than that
of last year at this time, and the con-
dition is not quite SO good.
There is more livestock in the >un.
try at this time than for the same
time last year, despite the unfavora.
BILE condition reported in certain sec.
tions of the Northwest. This increase
i'll numbers is accounted for to large
extent by the prices which have beer
renumerative to the producer, and by
the great abundance of cheap food
! Mining in all forms shows marked
improvement over the conditions pre-
vailing a year ago. This is particu
la-ly true of copper, iron, lead al.
zinc or spelter. Coal mining lags be
hind but is slowly getting better.
Oil and gas industries have exper
fenced very great revival because O.
much higher prices, especially IN oil.
| Manufacturing has taken on nev
life through the whole country and il
almost every branch.
The lumber business which SCENE,
dead for sever.l years appears only t.
have been sleeping. It is improvin,
Islowly throughout the entire coun
try, but especially in the yellow-pin
district of the south.
One of the most significant facts o
the day is great activity in retail
trade.
While money is plentiful and rate
are not high, there is wide differenc
in the ease or the lack of ease wit
which it can be obtained, and this diff
erence seems to be largely due to loca
conditions. AS whole, however,
is not difficult to get money from tn
banks on good collateral for legitimat
purposes.
The outlook for business for tn
first four months of 1916 is in stril
ing contrast to that prevailing thi
time last year. '.

NOTES FROM
WASHINGTON

Senator McCumber has come to the
relief of Christian Fredrickson of Ray,
Williams Co., N. D., so that Fred
rickson will be permitted to receive
patent on a 160 acres he entered near
Ray some years ago. 1t seems that
when Fredrickson entered upon this
land, he had previously entered upon
80 acres in Minnesota which he stated
in his application, and also had ell
tered upon SIS acres near Minot which
he also stated. These statements were
with his papers when he made his f.
nal proof On the 100 acres after hav-
ing lived on the land seven years. How
ever, when it came to issue patent
to him the fact that he had already re-
ceived patent for 80 and SIS acres was
discovered, which ordinarily would
bar him from taking his 100 acre
homestead near Ray. However, the
Secretary of the Interior, Franklin K.
Lane, promptly took the position that
a failure to act upon this information
by his department in years passed,
should not work an injustice to Fred
rickson, and the matter was called to
the attention of Senator McCumber.
The Senator has introduced bill au>
thorizing the issuance of a patent on
this land which will result in merely
aiding justice to a settler who did
nothing that was not entirely above
board and fair.
