The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-02-12

Pull and the same amount Of time i'm
the Separator factory. Believe me,
it is whale of plant. The factory
alone covers IS acres and employs
over 1000 men. Everything is we'll
organized and things sure do run
through in systematic, thorough
way.
The spirit Within the Advance
Rumely organization is another thing
that impressed us. There is a strong
sense Of loyalty prevailing through
out the whole works which makes the
organization seem like one big family.
Another instance of this spirit is
shown in the Advance Rumely club
which is made up of the Rumely
workers. They have two-story
brick building which they turned over
to the dealers. We spent many pleas
ant hours in the writing room, reading
room and billiard rooms, which were
so kindly put at our disposal.
This club room was fitted up with
a regular stage and everything. We
had some great entertainments brot
down from Chicago. One night we
had the Imperial Quartette whi:h
makes records for the Victor CON-
pany
Another night we had boxing en-
tertainment. A regular vaudeville
show from the best circuits in Chi
cago made big hit. There was a
cabaret girl who came down off tie
stage and kidded us. We will remem-
Der that quite while.
The climax of the entertainment

FrOsaker Returns from Advance.
Rumely Dealers School.

o. G. Frosaker has just returned
from the. Advance Rumely Thresher
company's dealer school at LaPorte.
He states THAT he spent most profit
able and pleasant two weeks as the
guest of the OilPull company. We
will let him tell his own story.
On arriving at LaPorte, we register
ed and were assigned to rooms with
private families in town giving a
little touch of home life which only a
stranger in strange land knows how
to appreciate.
The school was run much like q
large university with regular lectures
and laboratory classes running from
500 in the morning until 500 at
night. Lectures were given by some
of the best engineers in the automo-
tive industry. After the lectures we
would put on our "overalls" and go
into the laboratory and work on the
machines. There was an enthusiastic
group of men working on motors,
transmissions, running tractors, etc.
We had, altogether, some $50 dealers
from all over the United States and
Canada.
One man, a Mr.. Rosenius, came all
the way from Stockholm, Sweden, to
attend the school. He represents a
company in Stockholm which handles
the Rumely Line in Scandinavia, Rus
sia and Poland.
We made trip through the entire
plant, spending half day in the Oil

Adriatic Brings In Crew
Of Abandoned Schooner
Six Picked Up at Sea After
Fighting Gale; Miss
COhan Home

The White Star liner Adriatic. from
Southampton and Cherbourg, arrived
here yesterday with 1,105 travellers,
her passenger complement having been
augmented by Captain L. T. Hayes. of
the British schooner Maid of La Have.
and five of his crew who were picked
up after fight of nearly two weeks
with stiff northwest gales off the coast
Of Newfoundland.
The schooner was waterlogged and
set on fire before Abandoned. At the
ships concert Thursday night $3.50 of
the 81 ,480 raised for the widows and
orphans fund was given to the men
OF the wrecked schooner
Among the passengers was Miss
GG,eorgette E. Cohan, daughter of George
M. Cohan, who has recently finished
her London season in the play "Mr.
Penn Passes BY" Miss Cohan was met
at the pier by her father and several

Lansing's Old Post
Vacant TO-MOrYO1u
Passports May Be Held
Up Until Senators Pass
on Colby's Nomination

From The Trfbune's Washington Bureo~
WASHINGTON, March 12-The
United States will be without a
Secretary of State after tomorrow
because of the Senate's delay in con-
firming the appointment Of Balm
bridge Colby.
Frank L. Polk, who has been act
ing secretary since Robert Lansing re-
signed at the request Of President
Wilson on February 13, will become
Under Secretary again tomorrow. The
law permits him to act as secretary
for only thrifty days, but does not
provide for temporarily filling the
position after the expiration of that
period
AS Under Secretary Of State, Mr..
Polk will continue to direct the af-
fairs Of the department. He will be
unable to sign passports, proclama-
tions and other documents to which
the signature of the Secretary Of
States is required. No passports can
be issued and no Presidential procla-
nations made until a new secretary
is qualified.
No embarrassment is expected to
result from the unusual situation,
however, as the Senate leaders plan to
have the Senate act on the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Colby within a week. The
Foreign Relations Committee has
practically concluded its investiga-
tion Of charges concerning Mr.. Colby g
qualifications, unless Mr.. Colby should
demand public hearing on them, and
expects to report the nomination to
the Senate early pext week without
recommendation" The confirmation
of Mr.. Colby is foregone conclusion,
as both Republican and Democratic
leaders say no serious opposition will
develop.
President Wilson's notes to foreign
governments can be sent before Mr..
Colby takes Office, it was explained, by
sending them by cable as memoranda
that would not require the signature
of the Secretary Of State
