confronted the governor at the time
of the recent draft" said Mr.. Whittet.
From Milwaukee came the statement
that there was decided opposition to
the draft. aud that bloodshed would
surely follow II state militia was not
present to quell the disturbances that
were sure To arise. Governor Phillip
personally Investigated conditions and
was unable 10 fnG anything to sub,

made lie refused to send militia. The
result is too well known for me to
make amy comment here. 1t is repre-

GOLF A W0MAN'S GAME
Feminine DevoteeS of Pastln1e
Rival Men in Skill.
Hard TO Realize That Up to Forty
Years Ago Sight of Member OF
Fair Sex on Golf Course Was
Nine Days Wonder.

When one considers the number OF
women who enjoy round of the golf
links, 1t is hard to realize that up 10
some forty years ago a member of the
fair sex on the golf course was nine
days wonder 1t is rather curious to
note the change that has come over
the attitude of the golfing world
toward women at golf in that period
and also the attitude of women toward
the golfing world. Women did not
play golf they hardly played anything
excepting the piano, and that distress
ingly, and a little croquet, with hoops
about as narrow as d fve-barred gate.
Sometimes they went to the links
with fear and trembling perhaps with
a sense that they were doing some
thing II little out of the way. more like
ly with a sense of fearful boredom, to
watch round, but it never occurred
to them as anything but a joke in
rather doubtful taste TO take a full
swing. II was not '1adylike."
Took "Ful SWING"
The first step in emancipation was
the making of links for vOmens use
that was a compromise between the
one club putting green of the earlier
period and the modern fashion OF
woman's claim to equal right with man
on the links of masculine dimensions.
That was the beginning. Later the
course demanded a full swing and q
full equipment of clubs. After that
theY began to aspire to gOlfing equal
ity with man. who, of course, as IN
other things. for long while resisted
their claims, derided their ambitions,
and for a whole a woman golfer
walked on mans links more or less
like d guilty person, with a conscious
ness of her presumption, but that did
not last.
1t became the fashion after time
to say that golf was not a graceful
game for the feminine sex, and that
the swing was not an elegant perform
ance with them and so forth. Gradu-
ally this feeling wore away. when it
was seen that the feminine swing could
be at least as graceful as anything that
man could achieve, and man could
not so discredit himself so far as to
ask more. The gOlfing woman had ar
rived.
Still They Grumbe.
But even then there were those who
grumbled; there are those who say
that a golf course is no place for a
woman; that they do not play well
I s
ferior golf is not to be tolerated on a
course were to be applied with any
logic at all it would remove not a few
of the masculine members at many
clubs.

SPLENDID WORK OF DIVER
Feat Of Underwater Repairing on
Wrecked Steamer Is Given High
Praise by Shipping Men.

One of the most remarkable feats in
the history of American labor, accord
Ing to Capt. Louis Turner, represent
ing marine underwriters, was the sub
marine repairing of a steamer SAL
vaged off the California coast BY a
diver named Theodore Wicks. The
success Of this man in his perilous
work made it possible to raise the ves-
sci for further important service in the
governments war program, where ship
ping is so urgently needed.
There were fully 100 patches Of TEN.
porary nature to be put on the shatter:
ed sides Of the vessel while tt was
humping about on the rocks. making it
BY all odds the biggest job Of the kind
ever attempted on the Pacific coast.
The biggest patch was ten feet wide
and 16 feet long. Three layers Of inch
plank. with canvas between, were used
In patching. This kept the water out
while tho ship was being pumped.
Large numbers Of shipping men Wis.
tied the dry dock where the ship went
after Diver Wick's exploits, and were
astonished that it had been possible to
salvage the vessel at all. The divers
work Is viewed all along the coast as
an inspiration to labor in its great task
Of Winning the war.

DESPERATE LEAP FOR LIFE
Parachute the Only Hope Of Occu'
pants of Observation Balloon
Destroyed at the Front.

A British observation balloon, an
chored at the western front, had it's
cables cut by enemy airplanes, and
the balloon scared thousands Of feet
upward into the clouds. A writer in
London Mail, who witnessed the
incident, describes what followed.
From the point where it vanished, he
says, we presently saw one small
speck, then another, dropping from the
clouds. For some hundreds Of feet
they fell like dead weights, then para
chutes opened, and the specks, now
revealed as men, were steadied in
their earthward course, floating rap
idly, but safely, to the ground.
After the balloon got free, they had
destroyed their papers and instru-
ments, clambered over the side of the
basket, and leaped for life into the
great void beneath them, trusting that
the parachutes strapped round their
waists would open when they should.
Think of that desperate spring into
the vast, gray vapory nothingness be-
meath the balloon; the feelings Of the
men as they made it, uncertain of
what would happen; the awful sensa-
ton Of casting yourself blindly from
such an appalling height with the
knowledge that only flimsy piece Of
material, which might act rightly and
might not, interviewed between your.
self and crash into the earth many
thousands Of feet below; the tense
strain Of the stone-like drop through
two hundred feet of the void before
the parachute opened, and then the
anxious mental query, through the
later staces of the descent: "What
shall I light upon?"-a matter of SUI
preme consequence that chance gov
erns absolutely. In this case. the men
made safe landing.

EVERETT CHAMBARD
HAS EXPERIENCE

The following is a letter received
last week from Everett Chambard,
Of this city, now with the color "over
there: ..-,.
In France, Oct. 7, 1918.
Dear Folks: Am writing this I'M
der rather mean conditions, my stom-
ach is on the bum, bloated up, but it's
on account of exposure in rain and
nervous strain we underwent for five
days in battle, came out without a
scratch but had several Gloss calls;
knocked down a couple of times by
high explosive shells and stopped. a
machine gun bullet in my mess pan
and pocket was punctured, my gun
was knocked out of my hands and
several other things / could not men,
ton but would like to-, but can't on
account of censor. How came through
is wonder to me because Sherman's
definition is meek compared to what
we went through, but I came through
with two prisoners the first day my
self so feel pretty proud. l am 60
ing to quit writing for tonight as I
feel to rotten, am in bed now.
Oct. 8, 1918.
Feel considerable better this a. m.
but not too good. hope I never have
to go through thing like that again
but will be more than willing to go
and get another crack at them again
as they are the sneakiest people you
one to meet, especially when three of
US got to within 20 feet of him he run
out and shouted "kamrad" and had a
string tied to his boot operating
machine gun we thought there was
another man in the pit at first. All l
got to say is he didn't last long.
There are lot of other things like
pretending they are wounded and
can't stand and sit on a knife. I sure
jerked him and would have finished
him if it hadn't been for lieuten-
ant standing near by 1t makes me
sore to even think Of the low down
tricks they try to pull off. One thing
they had fixed up fine was their dug
outs with fine rugs, piano and every
thing prepared for the winter; too bad
we made them get out in the cold,
wasn't it?
The way the papers look they want
peace pretty bad. I hope it will lie
pretty soon so we can all be home by
Xmas so I'll have to give my order
for Xmas dinner, to sweet. We had
fap-jacks for breakfast this morning
and they sure tasted good also got
some cookies and chocolate and gum
from the Y. M. C. A., the stuff came
in this morning.

The gum I got in mama's letter was

I had a tooth pulled the other day,

it's all right now. Will close for now
and write more late.

LET 1T BE REPEATED

1t can't be said too often.
1t can't be dinned into the ears of
the voters of North Dakota too loudly.
The arguments against the propos-
ed amendments to the constitution of
North Dakota, resolve themselves into
this:
They remove the limit from the
bonded indebtedness of the state.
They remove all restrictions on how
the money shall be spent.
They remove all restrictions on
how the taxes to pay these bonds and
the intt/est on them shall be raised.
They turn the unlimited credit of
the state over to "Fellow Worker" lie
Sueur, the comrade of "Bill" Hay
wood, the convict.
They indorse in blank, the note of
A. c. Townley and his 70 cent tax
payer associates.
