The multiple spindle drill in one
operation drills all the holes in the

each will be in right regulation to
the other.
It was hard to drag US away from
the automatic turret lathe that sur

works as though somewhere within
its metal vitals a brain was conceal

been accomplished, all the gears are

bending every energy in a non-par-
tisan drive upon Congress for the
passage Of the amendment. 1t is
the organization with which the
Tennessee suffraeists, headed by
Mrs Guilford Dudley, Of Nashville,
are affiliated,
The Congressional Union is the
national organization which took
what was considered a partisan
stand during the recent national
campaign, and whose leaders declare
they intend to hold the party in
power in Washington and all men,
bers of that party responsible for
the failure Of the party, as a party,
to put over the amendment while
it is in power. 1t is the organiza-
ton which sent out the Golden
Special" and which exhibited the
banner during the reading Of Presi-
dent Wilson's message to Congress-
1t is the organization whose policy
does not include, but rather ex-
cludes, work for state action on
suffrage, and the organization with
which Mrs. Dudley and the Tonnes
see Equal Suffrage Association are
not affiliated.
The two state organizations in
Tennessee which Mrs. Gait has been
striving to bring together, and the
amalgamation Of which Mrs. Dud-
ley has been promoting by every
means within her power, are neither
affiliated with the Congressional
Union, but are both already mera-
bers Of the National Association Of
which Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait is
President.

astonishing result Of 54 to IS in
favor Of making the clause read

opponents like Tillman, Of South
Carolina, Penrose and Oliver of

kind were found among the newly

capitol are jubilant over the result,
and freely state that they now an

amendment through the Senate.
The Womans Journal this week,
prints pictures of number who
are members Of the suffrage lobby
in Washington. Among them is
the attractive picture Of Mrs. Gull
ford Dudley and her two children,
which is sometimes used by the
Tennessee papers.
By a vote of 100 to 80 the New
York State Association Of Teachers
recently went on eecort as favoring
equal suffrage. They made the
well-grounded argument that their
profession is almost wholly without
representation, since a very large
proportion Of its members are I'M
enfranchised.
Speaking Of teachers. it might be
well to point out the direct relation
between the ballot and the schools.
The voters elect the magistrates,
who select the school boards, who
appoint the teachers. who form the
character Of the mothers children,

fun at the fun at lhe name of Mrs

Pioneer Woman Expires
While on Montana Visit

Mrs. Gertrude Leondorf, a pioneer
of this section, passed away at Wolf
Point, Mont, where she went on
visit about two weeks ago. Mrs. Leon
dorf was an early settler on home
stead eight miles west of Valley City,
where she first came about 33 years
ago. At the time of her death she
was 68 years old. She is survived by
four some and three daughters. HUI
bert, Jacob and Mrs. Will Gray reside
at Wolf Point, Mont, Matt, John and
Mrs. C. J. Munson at Valley City, Mrs
Frank Kramer at Marion. Mrs. Leon
dorf had resided with Mrs. Kramer for
the last four years, and went on
visit to her children at Wolf Point
just before her death. She was not
in good health, and the trip seemed
to have been too much for her
strength.
The funeral was held Tuesday from
the Catholic church, Father Baker
conducting the service. The burial
was made in the Catholic cemetery.

Something to Worry About,
But It's Not in North Dakota

st. Mary's school at Faribault, MINI.
is an educational institution for girls.
1t is conducted under the auspices Of
the Episcopal denomination. Shat
tuck Military academy for boys at
the same place and under the same
denomination is widely known
throughout the Northwest and entire
country for it's, high rank and effic-
iency. The school for girls ranks
as high in point Of merit as the larg-
er institution. 1t is in connection
with the latter that we are pleased to
mention a few incidents that are
worthy of state and local pride.
The enrolment at the school for
girls the last school year was 8S, the
number from North Dakota enrolled
being IS. At the conclusion of the
school work for the year the first
three in rank of scholarship at the
head of the roll of honor were Alice
Farley, Valley City; Mary Gowran,
Grand Forks; Ada Tyler, Fargo. Miss
Farley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
). J. Farley Of this city, and incident
ally, it will not be more than fair to
state that she headed the roll of
honor for scholarship at the same IN
stltutlon the year before. Miss Ty-
Ter is the daughter of Bishop Tyler of
Fargo. and in addition to scholastic
attalnments, she won the champion
ship cup which was awarded to the
best tennis player. Another North
Dakota girl at the school, Miss Evelyn
Ross of Dogden, won the medal for
the highest mark in English literature.
1t should be source of pride to
every loyal North Dakotan to know,
that with only 20 percent of the en-.
rollment the North Dakota girls cap
tured the first three places in high
scholarship. Last year the state mil
ltia was called to the Mexican border
to serve the country and brought back
a record for efficiency and conduct
that was the envy Of the entire de-
partment of the army stationed along
the Rio Grande. A regular army
officer who was in a position to say
what he thought without doing it to
curry favor said to Colonel Frame:
"You have got the best bunch in the
entire cactus region" That was high
praise and was we'll deserved because
it was won by noble conduct and strict
attention to duty. Our own Company
G. of Valley City was one of the units,
and it may soon be called upon to bat
tie for the rights of free people, In
that event we are confident a good &C.
count will be rendered.
The state now knows that its sons
can deliver the goods in a military
Fean oaign. ~ s.s. S!55s Sc: ..s-. t

HlLDRETH rs BOOSTER
FOR OUR CHAUTAUQUA

In an article entitled "Vacation by
the River published in Sundays
Courier-News, Melvin Hildreth pays
a very pretty compliment to Valley
Clty's attractions, as follows:
Taking advantage Of the curves of
the Sheyenne, Valley City has located
its park on a sort of peninsula and
placed splendid ZOO along the banks
of the river. They undoubtedly have
one Of the finest collections of deer
in the northwest and the other inter-
esting animals displayed attract large
crowds of visitors during the summer
perhaps as you have passed over
the great bridge which spans the val
ley from which the city gets it's name
you have looked down upon the little
white canvas city which peeps some
what indistinctly through the mass
of green woods which border the
river. In this riverside chautauqua
we have a very fine example Of what
a community can do with a river in
utilizing what it offers for vacation
ground.
valley City has placed it's chautau-
qua just convenient distance from
town, easily reached by a regular line
OF motor boats. Here in this river
side grove people camp all summer,
having the advantages of boating and
bathing and in addition their annual
chautauqua which holds it's session in
permanent steel auditorium. You
have but to attend brief session of
this chautauqua to realize that they
have made the most of their river. The
work of this great state could not go
on if every one left it for the summer;
not only are there those who cannot
afford to go but there are others who
cannot take any extensive vacation
whatsoever, unless they find an oppor-
tunity in their immediate neighbor-
hood. Valley City is just another
place which has demonstrated that it
is possible to take advantage of those
things which We find at home and
which we have for too long a period
disregarded. They simply took the
river as they found it, built winding
roads through the dense groves, dem
onstrated to the people what could be
done with what they had. and the
people responded"
