B SCHOOL NOTES

The high school enrolment Las
passed the 200 mark. Pupils from 9TH
er towns and pupils who have been
working during the threshing season
continue to appear for registration.
Those who intend to enter school yet
should do so at once in order to get
credit for the first semester work.
The plan is being tried out of hav-
ing five-minute intervals between
classes. Unless some definite provision
is made for relaxation, pupils who do
not happen to have classes involving
labratory work ordinarily have to sit
still during the entire school day. Ply
steal education for all pupils is Of
cours the most effective remedy for
the situation, but since that is inn
possible at present it is thought that
the present plan may prove desirable.
TIE party Friday evening from 800
to 11:00 was a live beginning for high
school social activities. The evenings
fun was furnished by "stunts" from
each of the six classes. The entire
evening from the "~ice-breaking mix
up" to the lunch of sandwiches, pick
les, baked beans, doughnuts, and cof-
fee was characterized by the usual
"pep" of Bottineau high school stu
dents.
The~Glee Club organized Monday af-
ternoon, electing Harold Craig, Presi-
dent, Helen Mcintosh, Secretary and,
Anne Hunter, Treasurer.
The Athletic Association has rgan-
lied with Harold Ferguson, president,

AID FOR MRS.
N. K. BOWEN.
STATEWIDE HELP ASKED FOR
WIDOW or MURDERED
BEACH RANCHER $780,.

North Dakota women I 0utdoing
the men in the preseraaeSr9pAign TO
assist Mrs. M. X. Bowen, lit
tie children Of Golden Valley cou@e
who were left destitute when, N. X.
Bowen, the Nonpartisan League ranch
er was murdered several weeks ago.
Donnybrook Club, No. 10, Woman's
Auxiliary Of the N~onpartisan League,
raised $142.18 in collections at a pic
mic September 81. It was a DRILLING,
chilly day, bit the people turned out
in large numbers to assist the widow
and children Of the murdered man.
The members of the Women's Aux
iliary Of Willow City gave a picnic for
the benefit Of the widow and children
on September 26.
New Plan Presented
Mrs. Hans Quale of Sentinel Butte
has submitted a plan for the women
of the entire state, which the Sentinel
Butte Auxiliary intends to carry out
right away. It is for the Auxiliary
Clubs to push a campaign to have all
League men and women give 81 each
and more if it can be spared. They are
to send it to the League county paper,
which is to appoint some person to
receive these funds, keep an account
ing of them and turn them vel to the
widow. (
The case of Mrs. M. K. Bowen needs
immediate attention and should ap-
peal to every member of the Nonparti-
san League. 1t can be said with truth
that M. K. Bowen was a martyr to
the cause of the League. It was his UNI
compromising stand for the League on
all occasions and his tireless fight
against the gangsters that undoubted-
" stirred up the hosti1ities that led to
his death.
Widow Left Destitute
Mrs. Bowen is a strong supporter
of the League and is a member of the
Woman's Auxiliary of Beach and Sen
tinel Butte. The loss Of cattle, sup
posed to be from poisoning, proceed
ing the death of her husband, left her
practically destitute and deeply in
debt. During the inquest creditors
seized practically everything of a port
able nature on the ranch. They were
forced later to restore most Of it, but
this property is involved for the pres
ent is no use to Mrs. Bowen.
The widow has six children, the old
est being only IL years old. She will
soon become the mother Of another
child. The property formerly owned
by Mr.. Bowen IS fnvolveM too much
to yield anything to this needy family.
Their support for some time must
ZONE from those Who feel thst they
are worthy Of aid from the organiza-
ton and people for whom they have
made almost uncomfortable sacrifices.

Establishes Unique Record

Though the Roamer did not finish
the race at Indianapolis, it estab-
lished a unique record. 1t consist
entity gained in speed as the race
wore on. It ran $40 miles without
a stop caused by a mechanical de-
feet. It's powerful mechanism with
stood fire and wreck without injury.
In short, the Roamer evidenced
again its remarkable combination
of speed and strength.

Emerges with Motor Uninjured

The Roamer which was wrecked
had defeated the car which finished
second at Indianapolis, in every
race on the Coast this year except
at Santa Monica, where the Roamer
was slightly damaged, and put out
of the race, on account of the public
obstructing the course. At Indian
apolis the Roamer emerged from
the wreck with its motor uninjured.

Makes 81 to SO Miles an Hour

For the last few laps before it went
out, the Roamer had been making
81 to 90 miles an hour, which was
!, miles an hour faster than De
Palma's time for the first 100 miles.
AS the Roamer was then in fourth
place, and as the last half of the
race was run at about 81 or IS
miles an hour, the Roamer would
almost certainly have finished
among the winners except for the
unfortunate accident.

In the Indianapolis Speedway Race,
May 81, Roamer performance was
again convincingly demonstrated:
At the end of the first 100 miles of
heart-breaking speed, the Roamer
commenced to pass its rivals one
by one. At the end of $50 miles, it
was in 9th place; at the end of ITS
miles. it was in 5th place. When a
tire burst in the goth lap, the
Roan1er had Just passed another
car, putting it in fourth place.

In the Pits Only Once

During 24o gruelling miles the
Roamer was in the pits only once
to change a tire and take on gaso-
line. For six laps before his dis
astrous accident the Roamer driver
had been signaled to come in and
change tires. Twice he had nodded
assent, but it is believed he wanted
to complete half the distance before
making another stop, and give way
to a relief driver.

It had been planned that at the
next stop Lecocq should be relieved
by Sarles, who had driven the
same car to victory three times in
1919, but the accident prevented
this. Prior to the Roamer's wreck,
its performance was more con-
sistent than that of any other car in

BOLSHEvISM AMONG THE
HIGHER-UPS

Editor Capital Journal: Among side
lights on the legislature which is busy
passing bills against bolshevism and
syndiealism and revOlutionists in gen
eral viii you allow few words against
these same manifestations in high
places. A business man approached two
members Of the legislature in the in
terest of the common mass of taxpay-
ers and in the interest of faii LAY
and they informed him how much he
must put up to get such a law enact
ed. He asked them to introduce a bill
requiring county courts to advertise
for sealed bids when they purchase
county supplies amounting to $500 or
over. This is the law of Multnomah
county and also of all first class school
districts and there is no good reason
why every county should not advertise
for competition when it buys road ma
ehinery or orders new set Of blank
lbOoks or steel vaults for the court
house. As all counties are buying road
machinery such a law would bring the
latest and most improved road machin-
cry before them instead of sending a
member of the county court to Portland
to be given Joy rides and feasted at
hotels to make a sale. This privilege is
sometimes extended to the whole court
and all the members go to Portland
and even other cities and have good
time at public expense, when the adj
vertisement for sealed bids would
bring all the manufacturers into the
home field to try out their machinery
before the whole community. This bus
Iiness man was asked $1,000 to have this
kind of a law (Which is good law for
Multnomah county, enacted for the
benefit of the whole state. An ex-leg-
islator who has had experience in such
matters put the price higher. He want
led $1,000 down and $500 after the
hih passed.
The committee on consolidation OF
useless commissions and state boards
and offices that duplicate each other
submits a modest report in the form of
six bills and says the plan reported by
the commission on consolidation will
not be presented because officialism
is too strong and admits the six bills
Offered are only for a target and to
throw dust in the eyes of the people,
not expecting any of them to pass, al
though Mr.. Carkin of the house says
it would reduce the number of polit-
ical soft snaps from 250 to 40, save
considerable money to the state and
not impair its efficiency. 1t is joke
and none of the six bills will even be
considered seriously. There is a gener-
al willingness to override and set
aside the six per cent limitation enact
ed by the people, as if an annual in
crease of six dollars on the 800 that
officiahsm now costs was not increase
enough to avert bolshevism. There is
general program to raise salaries and
load more political hacks on the state.

would be so happy and contented
where she would be treated with the
consideration Arthur Mandel had ae-

Then came another thoughtA She
would lose Rachel. Dear old Nanny
who made everything so comfortable
for her, and who idolized the baby. A
wave of the old repugnance swept over
her as she thought of again washing
dishes and wiping up floors. She had
saved quite sum, Brian had also saved
something. But Ruth knew the cost of
living. The high cost of all that was
needed in the household. 1t would take
some time for Brian to establish him

not taken that horrid, dingy office.
Perhaps he could sublet it and take the

her determination to leave Mandel
