HOPE WINS FROM HATToN
LOSES TO ANETA TUESDAY

Hope played two base ball games
this week, winning one and losing
one. The fisrt game of the week was
played on Sunday with Hatton, who
lost 8 to 2. Thomas did the throw
ing for Hope and held the visitors to
5 hits. Two hits combined with a
couple of errors made it possible for
Hatton to score, while Hope counted
in several different innings by hitting
and large number of errors by the
visitors.
Hope lost their outer game to
Aneta Tuesday afternoon at Mayville.
Although they secured more hits and
less errors than the Nelson County
team, they were unable to put more
than one run across the plate, while
Aneta scored seven times. Heinz
bush pitched for Hope and held the
opponents to five hits, while Hope
pounded the Aneta pitcher for nine
hits. Hope punched three hits in
one inning but failed to score. De-
tails of the game are lacking on ac-
count of the score book going visiting

REV. F. H. BERGMAN TO
Leave FOR WAHPETON

Rev. F. H. Bergman has rendered
his resignation as pastor of the Con-
gregational Church of this city, the
resignation to take effect the first of
July. Rev. Bergman has held his
present position for about three
years, making for himself a place in
the hearts of all his congregation
that yill be hard to fill. But it is
also with pride and good luck that
they bid him goodbye, for, although
one of he youngest members of
the North Dakota Conference, he has
been offered and has accepted the
position of pastor at the First Con-
gregational Church at Wahpeton, the
largest field in the state.
Coming here for his first charge
after leaving his semenary work, Mr..
Bergman has rapidly advanced in
his chosen work, and by his optimis-
tic thQnghts and interest in all lively
events, especially High School Ath-
letics, has made for himself a place
in the thoughts of both young and
old.
Although it is with regret that we
lose Rev. Bergman, yet we wish him
the best of success in his new and
larger field of work.

". 7. D0RRANCE DEAD

A gloom was cast over the Ayr
community last Tuesday morning
when the word was passed around
that w. T. Dorrance had at last sue
cumbed to death, after months of
brave battling with Brights Disease.
His wonderful endurance, and lively
interest in everything going on about
him in spite of intense suffering have
been marvel to all who knew him.
William Thomas Dorrance, the
second son of Jas. and Elizabeth
Bell Dorrance, was born at Seaforth,
Ontario, January 4, 1858, and passed
away at Ayr, N. D., June 8, 1920, at
the age of 62 years, months and 27
days. This is the first break in the
family of eight children, there being
three sisters and four brothers beside
his wife and son to mourn his loss.
MIR. Dorance came to North Dakota
the spring of 1881 and settled on a
homestead in Hope Township, at
which place he resided till the fall of
1902, and in the spring Of 1903 he
came to Ayr and erected the first and
only livery barn in the town. He
was married March 27, 1898 to Miss
Charlotte Wiswell, who, with their
son, William, survives him.
Funeral services, largely attended
in spite of the rain, werer held at the
home, at 1 o'clock Thursday after
noon, Rev. L. D. Stone in charge, and
the body laid to rest in the Buffalo
cemetery.
Mr., Dorrance's genial disposition
and ready wit won for him host of
friends wherever he was known, and
his place in the community will be
hard one to fill. To the bereaved
wife whose faithful ministrations
made his months of suffering so
much easier to bear, the son, and
other sorrowing relatives, the heart
felt sympathy of all is extended.

To the Anti-Townley Forces of
North Dakota:
We are highly gratified at the
splendid cooperation which has thus
far been made by the Anti-Townley
forces of the state citizens but there
yet remains the final drive to victory.
We appeal to each one of you person.
ally to forget everything else and de-
vote your time until June 3Oth in
this final victory drive. The Anti
Townley candidates, the more than
100 farmers speaking daily through
out the state, and the committees
cannot alone win this fight. Each of
you should lay aside everything and
with an automobile or on foot invade
the strongholds of Townleyism and
win back our people to sane, pro-
gressive self-government. Victory is
within our grasp. Ten days of final
effort will overwhelm Townley and
his crew. This is fight for your
schools, your churches, your proper
ty and self-government. The enemy
is saying much about public owner

win under the ownership of public
officials as against private owner.

Moonlight Dancing In
Paris ArOuSes Reformers

Paris, Jan. o.-The government
edict closing all Paris dancing pal
aces at 1880 and restricting the
number Of lights as a coal-saving
measure did not work out exactly
az some folks thought.
The reform element cheered it on
the ground that it would discourage
fashionable fox-trotting and put an
end to some of the pajama dances,
masked balls and other goings on
they had complained of. But
promptly the manager of The most
ultra chic place in Paris announced
that he would go the government
one better by shutting off all the
lights not absolutely essential. Now
the reform leaders are protesting
that the moonlight dancing at this
establishment, patronized only by
the very wealthy, has degenerated
into an evening orgy of hugging and
kissing.
