Girl Hurt In Auto Accident

August Schmidt s automobile
passed over the little daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. Peter Roob on the
road between Vernon and White
Rock Sunday afternoon, causing
painful but not serious injuries.
The accident occurred while Mr..
Schmidt and several companions
were returning in his car from a
fishing trip to Lake Traverse. The
little girl with several playmates
was beside the road and stepped
in front of the car too late for the
driver to stop before striking her.
She was knocked down but fell in
such way that the wheels did not
pass over her. Her injuries are
painful but otherwise not serious.
Mr.. Schmidt was driving at a
reasonably slow rate and his COM
panions absolve him from blame for
the accident. He feels greatly con-
science stricken, and the accident
drives home the necessity for ex-
IRENE care on the part of motor
lists in protecting the safety of

Deputies Unknown

All North Dakota, which has
been anxiously awaiting announce
ment of the names of the new dis
trict deputy game wardens is not
to have its curiosity satisfied, an
nounced George NJ. Hogue, secre-
tary Of the North Dakota game
commission.
"The commission intends to try
a little secrecy in connection with
it's deputy service" said Mr..
Hogue. "We have followed the
plan of giving publicity to our APP
pointments for number of years,
and we have found that it makes
it embarrassing for the deputy.
"Now no omen eeds to know who
the deputy is until there crops out
some case in which it is necessary
Tor him to appear as a witness. We
believe the very doubt as to the
identity of the warden will cause
prospective game-violators to hest
tate, for fear that one of their par
ty might be the deputy"
New deputies were named a few
days ago at a meeting of the board
at New Rockford.

How lndiao ls Produced.

A primitive but effective method of
obtaining indigo I'm southern India Is
practiced by the natives. The plant
Is tightly packed the day 1t is cut, In
a large vat, into which water Is run,
and boards are then placed over the
top and are kept in position by heavy
crossbeams. The plant is allowed to
soak for ten or twelve hours, during
which time heavy fermentation takes
place. The liquid IA then drained on
into another vat after which coolies
beat and stir the soaked mass thor
oughly with fails until the dye begins
to emerge. The whole Is then allowed
to settle. The clear liquid Is drained
OF. and the residue is boiled I'm copper
vessels. II IN then pressed into hard
cakes ready for the market.
