an heroic one, but so disastrous TO

German commanders ever attempted

The simple fact is that the battle
fleet was never so safe as when it was
cruising in the opan sea, screened by
the destroyers. 1t was far safer when
thus sailing thus defiantly, constant

at its unprotected base at Scapa Flow.

Shirley and Mcdaniel Address Mino,
Rotary


One of the best papers yet read at
meeting Of the Minot Rotary Club
was that prepared and delivered by
E. A. Shirley. of the Shirley Grocery
Co. Monday. He spoke from grocer's
standpoint and we hope to print most
of the paper in an early issue.
Major A. j. MCDANIEL, who recently
returned from service in Honolulu,
spoke briefly and told in very inter
esting manner some facts concern
ing the pineapple industry in the Ha-
waiian Islands. He learned that pine
apples do not grow under the ground
and neither upon trees, but on busheC
two or three feet high. Several pine
apples appear on each bush, some very
close to the ground. These fields have
to be replanted every three years. The
first two years the fields are carefully
cultivated while the third year they
are allowed to produce whatever they
may. After planting pineapple
plant, it takes Is months before the
fruit can be matured. In Honolulu
there is the largest pineapple can
ming factory in the world. The work
is done mainly by machinery, the only
handling being done by women and
girls who pack the slices into the cans
and as they use rubber gloves, the
canned fruit may be considered very
clean.

DOG DERBY HERO
KILLED IN FRANCE

Lieutenant Fred S. Hartman, hero of
the Winnipeg to St. Paul dog derby
two years ago, was killed in Toul,
France, April T. Lieutenant Hart
man was a member of the 354th Aero
Squadron of the Second Army, and
while making practice flight over the
city of Toul, his airplane met with an
accident, which resulted in the death
of the aviator.
The courage and persistence Of
Lieutenant Hartman displayed in the
exciting race against experienced dog
men in February, 1917, won interna-
tional fame for him. With the temper
ature 80 degrees below zero, and with
out his lead dog, he stuck grimly to
the race and kept his rivals worried
until the last. He lost the race, and
only received $50 for his heroic work,
but his fame brought him numerous
theatrical engagements, which more
than made up the money he needed to
take his course at the MASSACHUSETTS
Institute of Technology, which was the
object of his racing.
Lieutenant Hartman enlisted in No
vember, 1917, and went overseas in
October, 1918. He had just returns
ed from a two weeks furlough and he
expected to be discharged from the
service April 15 He was % years old.
