With PiCniCS


at the Theatre Thursday evening
burn school and graduated the high
school class Of 1921.
Rev. L. R. Burgum gave the ad-
dress OF the evening which was very
appropriate for the occasion. The
rest of the program was varied with
music and papers read by some Of the
graduates. Miss Payne Of the class
read a paper, taking as her subject
the class motto, Honor Lies at
Labor's Gate" Miss Fahl-
gren gave the class prophecy; Miss
Charlotte Fisher the class will and
Archie Nelson gave the class history.
The papers were all very interesting
and. pleasing. Music was furnished
by the high school orchestra and a
solo was sung by Miss Beulah Forbes.
w. J. Bickert, president Of the board
of education, presented the class with
their diplomas.
The class of 1921 has made achieve
ments that distinguishes it from other
classes. Two of the boys have ath-
letic records that are hard to beat
and three of the girls have the dis
tinction of appearing on the honor
roll of the school. Erastus Charlebois
and Reinhold Reiser have both had
good athletic records, especially in
basket ball. Their work in this re-
spect has helped to hold the high rec
ord of the basket ball team and to
take first place in the annual field
meet Archie Nelson, who returned
from a militay school and finished
his high school work here, has proven
to be an all round man, as was shown
by the way he managed the basket
ball team. Archie and Erastus expect
to enter the University Of N. D. next
year. Reinhold has not stated his in
tcntions.
Mamie Payne. Esther and Charlotte
Fisher are very capable young ladies
of the class. The three have appeared
on the honor roll of the school, which
in itself is an achievement. The
Misses Fisher have also athletic rec
ords in basket ball and track events.
The three young ladies expect to
teach next year and for this pro-
fession they are we'll qualified. Miss
Fahlgren, who has been teaching this
year but who when her school was
out, returned to graduate with her
class. expects to enter Hamline Uni
versity at st Paul next fall, Miss
Fahlgren is very capable young lady
as her school record will show.
An other interesting feature Of the
evening was the presentation of a
silver loving cup to the boy. of the
high school who had the best record
in studies and y athletics. Walter
Schweizer, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J..
J. Schweizer, was awarded the cup.
Walter has made splendid school
record and his work as an all round
athlete has marked him as one Of the
best in school. ..5 - W. &s.i

Obituary Of Mrs.
ChaS. Sheldon Who
Died on May 19
One Of the Pioneers of the County,
Having Lived Here the Past
Forty Four Years

Mary Sather was born in
Arlund, Norway, November %, 1866.
At the age of ten years she came with
her parents to this country. They
first located at Fargo, but later took
up homestead in Sverdrup township
of this county.
In 1886 she was married to Char
lie Sheldon. They settled on the
homestead where the Sheldon home
is now located and together with
her husband she made the sacrifices
which. are necessary in pioneer life.
They were blessed with ten children,
nine of whom are living.
On September Is, last fall oc-
Cured the death of her husband, a.
loss from which she never fully re-
covered. Although her health was
failing of late, nothing serious was
suspected till about a month ago
when she was obliged to seek medi-
cal treatment and went to Bismarck
to consult with the doctors.
On May II she submitted to an op-
Grafton which revealed a cancerous
growth. The doctors pronounced it
incurable and all hopes for her re-
covery were given up. 4
She died May 10, at the Bismarck
Hospital, being 81 years, months
and 81 days. ii
She leaves to mourn the loss of a
loving and faithful mother and sister,
six, sons, Henry, Albert, Sverdrup,
Roy, Owen and Roger; and three
daughters, Alice, Mrs. J. S. Stevens,
of Fallzirk, and Mrs .Bernt Jacobson
of Underwood. One sister, Mrs. Pet
erson Of Spokane, Wash, and two
brothers. Gilbert and Ole Sather, both
of Bismarck.
| Funeral services were held at Sver-
drup Lutheran Church Monday after
noon at 3 o'clock at which Rev. Al
fred Breivick oficiated. Expressions
Of sympathy were given by Rev. J.
A. Diesen and Rev. l.. r. Burgum.
Two selections were sung by the choir
and a solo by Mrs Mildred Herried.
The flowers we're many and beau
tiful but not more beautiful than the
face that rested among them. Beauti-
full in life beautiful in death; but
more beautiful in the resurrection
| morn.
Flowers seem to be the best en-
blem we have to express our love for
our. dear ones and thus we would
leave her and in memory keep her
, as sweetly reposing among the beau
tiful and fragrant flowers. s.
Her body was laid to rest by the
side Of her husband in Sverdrup Luz
theran Cemetery. f7s :;
Mrs. Sheldon lived in this commun-
ity "A years. She came here as
young girl. of 10 years and expert
enced the trials Of pioneer days. AS
a mother and wife she was untiring
in her efforts to make her home q
pleasant and cheerful one. She had
a sweet disposition and Christian
spirit. AS member of the church
and Ladies' Aid she was respected and
loved. AS we have time to reflect up
on the great loss we have sustained
in her death we will begin to realize
more and more what she was to us.
To the community at large, to the
church and to the Ladies Aid the loss
has been great but still greater. is the
lossFto her family. Our deepest sym
pathy goes out to them from all our
hearts. May the Lord comfort them
in this hour Of sorrow. 4

NATIONAL PROsPERITL DEFENDS
UPON FOREST PROTECTION
Forest Fires Destroy Billions Of Best
Timber During Each Year,
Says Official Report.

Forest fires In the United>States an
nually destroy more than two billion
feet OF timber, or material enough to
build five-room frame house every
100 feet on both sides Of road ex-
tending from New York to Chicago,
according to the Forest Service, Unit
cd States Department OF Agriculture.
With four people to house these
100000 or more buildings would pro-
vide a home for nearly one-fourth our
yearly increase in population - a
number sufficient to populate new
city each yea rthe size OF Cincinnati,
New Orleans, Minneapolis, Kansas
City, Mo-, or Seattle.
More than 100000 forest fires have
occurred in the United States during
the past five years, eighty per cent. OF
which were due to human agencies
and therefore preventable. The con-
flagrations burned over 56,4SS,OOO

COOPERATE BY
OBSERVING
TRAFFIC RULES

Mayor Oakley has asked US to
make an appeal to all drivers of
auto vehicles to cooperate with the
city administration in preventing ac-
cidents and keeping our streets clear
and safe for everyone by observing
the Traffic Ordinance. The traffic
rules are not hard to remember: In
the first place the speed limit in town
is 10 miles an hour, this is essential
and if all drivers would remember
to observe this rule, accidents would
be few and far between.
Another essential rule to remem-
Der is that the driver should always
KEEP TO THE RIGHT, and on Full
ton street if desiring to burn and go
in the opposite direction from that
in which the vehicle is headed
ALWAYS go to the traffic post at a
street intersection before making the
turn, go around the traffic post;
NEVER make the turn in any other
way, NEVER cross from one side
of the street to the other without
GOING AROUND THE TRAFFIC
POST.
One more essential to keep in mind
is that in parking the vehicle should
De n6dQ6U InLO LIlS sidewalk at ClS
same angle as the broad white
stripes painted on the pavement to
! indicate the parking spaces: If
parking on the west side of the
street the vehicle should be headed
to the southwest, if parking on the
east side of the street, the vehicle
should be headed to the northeast.
! NEVER park your car sideways to
the sidewalk line; never head straight
in so that the car stands at right an
! giles to the sidewalk
There may be times when the OBJ
servance of some of these rules may
seem entirely Unnecessary; but if you
always observe them, you will form
the habit and then sometime when
it IS necessary you won't forget,
It's ''our town" you know, and we
pay the bills, accidents are costly
affairs, aside from the suffering and
inconvenience they cause. There is
no money in our common purse ia
pay the expense of a constant ser.
vicce traffic police; SO it's up to US
to save for ourselves and our town
all we can.

a constant service traffic police: sc
its up to US to save for ourselves

A GROWING HEN
WILL never LAY

Biddies that ''Turn to boosters"
should be given the axe, say spec
ialists.
Sharpen the axe for the growing
hen.
This was one of the first rules laid
down before IT'S Ohio poultrymen
who attended culling school, just
concluded at Ohio State University.
Many ways were given of Judging
whether a hen would or would not
lay. Hens that stop clucking and
take to growing were put at the heaU
OF that class which never will lay
One such hen which mad turned
into a rooster" was exhibited before
the school, not as a curiosity, but as
typical of around three percent OF
the birds of Ohio. Although suct
individuals are often among the best
looking birds in the flock, the poul-
try experts said, they are absolutely
worthless as layers They are sure
to stop laing when they start crow
ing, and should then be killed.
Thirty seven agents were among
those who attended the school and
received the latest Information on
how to pick from the flock the low
producers. In general, the class
was advised to suspect OF spending
to much time away from the nest
fat hens and hens with yellow
shanks. Advanced stages of molt-
ing, particularly when accompani ID
with a contracted comb and wattles
and with a dry, contracted abdomen
and vent, We're also gwen as SURE
indications of low production.
The 81 county agents who attend
ed the school will give demonstra-
tions of the method in their home
communities during the next six
weeks

tion is Eugene Laurant and his COM
