Chicago reports a story that -"our

seas $4,000 on a single transport and
so crowded that they sleep in shifts,
part for twelve hours and the rest for
twelve hours" This is untrue. In
no case have $4,000 men been SEN On
a single transport. During the sum-
mer months when the men prefer to
sleep on deck, more soldiers have
been assigned to some of the fast
transports than there were berths be-
low decks, but in no use did the
number of men exceed the life-boat

Hog Island Shipyards Prov
ing that "Must Makes

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-The axiom
must makes master Is getting a
practical demonstration every day at
the Hog Island shipbuilding plant,
a school Of instruction has been
established and erstwhile clerks. bar
bers, a conductors and motormen,
policemen, firemen, shoemakers, but
cheers. bakers and indeed representa-
tives Of every known enterprise and
endeavor, are converted into ship
builders after brief tuition.
Most of these students, taught by
the hundreds in one branch or an
other, are taken out of the instruction
class after a week and placed with
journeymen crews. While they are
being instructed they receive eleven
hours pay for ten hours work at the
rate of IS cents al hour. When they
have qualified, their wages immedi-
ately advance, SO that men who be-
fore were earning SIS or $40 a week
in their own occupations are now
making $40, $50 and $50.
Their earning capacity depends
upon their ability and the amount of
time they put in. Many,/in order to
swell their pay envelopes, toll longer
than the required ten hours and thus
frequently receive as high as SIS a

LEAGUE PRESIDENT
GIVES ENDORSEMENT
OF MISS NELSON

About two weeks ago a short ar
ticle appeared on the editorial
page of The Herald, which, like
most Of the comments on that
page. was absolutely true and to
the point.
1t spoke of the time and work
that women had used in order to
get the right to vote for certain
state, offices. and that now that
they had obtained the right. they
were either too indifferent, to use
it or else did not organize in order
to use it effectively.
A chance is coming Very soon
for the women Of North Dakota to
consolidate their own vote anf al.
SO to go out and gain as many
others as they can.
The office of state superintend-
ent Of public instruction is an i'm
portant one. We have two candi-
didates-on the one hand a
woman who is we'll educated, we'll

and why not do the best for them?
I appeal to the mothers-help the
children by giving them all we ear
in an educational way and in
every other way as long as we al
keep them with us to help fill the
void in our hearts. 1 who speak
to you am a southern woman Of
the old school. I was brought up
a strict democrat, and was taught
that it was a crime for a woman
to vote. At the primaries a short
time ago I threw away those
legends and traditions and cast
my first vote on a republican tick

Of it.

Thirty years ago, William Ayness
Of Oshkosh, Wis.,, was employed on
one of Nelson's farms. 1t Is claimed
that Nelson generally referred 10
Lyness as his nephew. Recently,
Lyness was located at Oshkosh but
when an attorney interviewed him,
he declared positively that he was not
a relative Of Nelson, that he was no
entitled to any of the estate and that
Nelson's declarations we're

kin. s.E
The rejection by Lyness Of the
great legacy created still more inter
est and speculation. Nelson. it is
said, came t the United States from
Denmark when a child, but the Dan
ish consul at, Chicago has been unable
to locate his birth record. He settled
in Dakota early in life. He was 80
years old when he died.
Before his death it was believed
Nelson had relatives in Chicago and
in Michigan or Wisconsin.
He made several trips ITO visit

Nelson owned approximately 1000
acres of landNi in this state. His records
show that he held a mortgage on
property at Oshkosh in 1873 and it is

fact that he is the only one Of the
officers coming from the North who
has been attacked by typhoid is re-
earded as interesting from a medical
viewpoint for the reason that he was
the cnly n of these officers who did

has been a popular theory among
