BOWLING MAY LOSE
FEET FROM FREEZING
Minot Farmer in Hospital In Serious
Condition-Physicians Say That
All Toes Must Come on.

Patrick Bowling, well known
farmer residing four miles northeast
of Minot, was brot to local hospital
recently, suffering from the freezing
of both of his feet. Physicians who
are treating him say that most Ger.
tainly he will lose all of his toes and
it is possible that both feet will have
to be amputated. His condition is very
serious and at this time, it cannot be
definitely stated that his life will be
saved.
Mr.. Bowling was doing his chores
on very cold day about two weeks
ago and spilled some water inside of
each overshoe. He continued to work
about the premises and did not realize
that both Of his feet had frozen almost
solid. He went into the house, placed
his feet in the oven to warm them,
but did not feel uncomfortable. He
took off his overshoes and his feet be-
gan to pain some. He finally took off
his shoes and stockings and as tbs
latter came off, practically all the skin
on the feet came with them. He con-
tinued to work about the farm for
two or three days, but was finally
compelled to come to Minot for treat
ment.
Mrs. Bowling had gone to her old
home, Argyle, Mimi, to spend Christ
mas with relatives, but she was sum-
moned home, arriving the day before
Christmas.
The Bowling family have had more
than their share of i'll fortune this
year. During the past summer, their
little son and daughter fell into an old
we'll and drowned. These were their
only children. w.,

STANGELAND'S WIFE GETS
IN THE LIMELIGHT ABROAD

The wife Of C. E. Stangeland, center
of the recent state library scandal, is
coming in for her share Of publicity
over in Denmark, according to the
Grand Forks Herald, which published
a story relative to a book recently
written by her.
Newspapers received here last
night from Coptnhagen, Denmark,
contain reviews of the latest book
written by Mrs. Karin-Michaelis-
Stangeland, wife Of C. E. Stangeland,
who was forced to resign from the
state library board during the recent
special session of the North Dakota
state legislative assembly.
The book entitled don Juan After
DEATH" is strongly denounced by the
reviewers who see nothing in it but
"cheap and sour melodrama," and
charge that some parts of it approach
pornography.
"Mrs. Michaelis-Stangeland. who
formerly was the wife Of Sophus MI
chaelis, Danish novelist and poet.
married Mr.. Stangeland at New Roch-
ellie, N. Y, in January, 1912. and left
for Europe shortly after. while Mr..
Stangeland went to Boeata, Colsmbia.
as secretary Of the American leGatioa.
Later on Mr.. Staageland was ~ a.
sistant secretary at he Americas en-
bassy in London; he resigned abrupt
ly; the reason given was that his
wife's apparently pro- German aetiN-
ties made it embarrassing for tie Am
erican government to have Nr. Stang
Gland stationed at the British capitol.
Estrangement is RahogeA.
Newspaper gossip ip Europe, AZ we'll
as in New York, has indicated that an
estrangement may have taken place
between Mr.. and Mrs. Stangeland, and
is is said that she has never been in
this country since she was married to
the recent North Dakota educational
expert. For some time she signed her
self Karin Michaelis-Stangeland,' but
attention has recently been called to
the fact that her books now bear the
signature, Karin Michaelis, be-
fore her second marriage.
"Mrs. aelis-Stangeland is the
author of a number of books some of
which have met with signal success;
her Dangerous Age and its sequel,
Elsie 1indtner,' treated in the form
Of fiction, certain delicate subjects in
such way that German authorities
forbade her appearance on the lecture
platform in a number Of German
cities. The books were translated into
English and widely circulated in this
country.
Z Recently Mrs. Michaelis- STANCE
land has made her residence in War
saw, Cracow and Vienna; two weeks
ago she was in Copenhagen to direct
the stage presentation Of play she
had translated from the German"

DIR. ]. e. BROWN PASSES
AWAY AT CHARLOTTE
Pastor OF First Pres5y;e. ian Church
Victim of N.rvous Breakdown.

Jackson, Tenn, March ia wide
reaching sorrow is experienced in
Jackson and sex9Hess..5ns of grief and
sympathy have been numerous
among the great concourse of friends
to whom the active minister endear-
ed himself during thessfive years OF
his pastorate here since a communi-
cation was received by the session
of the First Presbyterian church
Sunday morning conveying the sad
news Of the death of DR.. j. Edmonds
Brown one of the leading pastors
and prominent in many other civic
organizations Of Jackson, which &C.
CURED Saturday night at the Tran
quill Park Sanitarium at Charlotte,
N. c., where he had been confined
for three weeks, having been taken
from the city after suffering a ner-
vous breakdown and being pronounc-
ed by his physician here to be in a
very serious condition.
Not only among the church circles
of Jackson, with which he was prom
inently connected, has the deep sor-
row been felt but among the many
individuals friends and organizations
here, with whom his labors are still
q living tribute to his memory. At
the time of his death he was pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, of
which he had been UNCONVENTIONAL
leader since May Of 1915. He was an
active member of many civic organic
atoms and took a leading part in the
war work campaigns as well as other
community movements. He was
chairman of the Jackson Pastors As
Club and of the Knights of Pythias
fraternity.
DR.. Brown was born and reared at
Charlotte, N. c., where he received
his preliminary education. His first
work was in journalism having serv-
ed on the staff Of the Charlotte OBJ
server for several years. After tax
ing his college course at Davidson,
N. c., he later attended the South
ern Theological Seminary at Rich
mond, Va, a Presbyterian institu-
ton. He was for six years pastor of
the First Presbyterian church at Ok
ford, Miss, and came here nearly
five years ago.
During the past two years his
wife's illness and confinement in a
Baltimore hospital had kept him out
Of the city good part of the time.
Being very devoted to his family. her
illness bore very heavily upon him
and this was contributory cause to
his nervous breakdown which caus-
ed his death within one month after
taking ill. Besides his wife he is
survived by his mother three brothers
and two daughters, Frances and
Laura. He was about 43 years of
age and throughout the entire period
Of his active life. he had devoted his
energies toward helping others.
DR.. Brown was a lineal descendant
Of leading southern families. His
mother was q sister of the wife of
Gen. Thos. J. ("Stonewall") Jackson
and he. was otherwise prominently
connected.
James E. Robins, elder OF the First
Presbyterian church, left last night
for Charlotte to attend the funeral,
representing the session of the
church. Many beautiful floral de-
signs were sent by the various or
CARNATIONS Of which he was mem
Der and by individual friends in
Jackson.
Funeral and interment will occur
1t Charlotte.

No Reduction in Price Of Oakland
Sensible Six

At this time when the public mind is disturb
ed by sensationally announced price reduc-
hons of automobiles and other merchandise and
commodities we desire to give assurance to those
who require Personal Passenger Transportation,
such as provided by the Oakland Sensible Six,
that we do not anticipate reducing the price of
our cars.
Starting with the production of the raw
material required and continuing through to the
finished product, over 80 per cent of the cost of
an Oakland Sensible Six is labor
Over 80 per cent of the cost of all other
automobiles produced in large quantities is labor
When wages paid to labor are reduced, or
when labor produces more per man, then may
manufacturers of HONESTLY PRICED auto
mobiles legitimately consider the reduction of
their selling prices.
We have not heard of any instance where
automobile workers are receiving lower wages.
If wages may be lowered eventually, we see
no immediate trend in that direction
In the production of so essential factor in
our economic life as the passenger automobile
increasing, as it does, the personal efficiency of
owners by nearly 81 per cent--we believe the
