ways wore a smile and had pleas
ant word for everyone. During the
past few years when like all other
farmers he had harG SEEDING on
account of the poor crops, his old
smile and cheering counsenance re-
mained with him, and he could dis
pei more gloom wherever he went
than anyone else that we know Of.
In his home he proved just as good
a husband and father as was a cit
izen. and his loss to the family will
be a severe one. and one which only
people who have suffered similar
losses can fully realize the magni-
tude Of. Besides the big loss to
the family there will hardly be a
man in the community but what
will miss Math for a long time to
come.
Besides his wife and children de-
ceased leaves to mourn his demise
two brothers, Mike and j. B. Mertes,
and two sisters, Mrs. Anton Fischer
and MIS-. Jacob Englehardt, all Of
near this city. His parents passed
away several years ago.
The funeral was held last Mon
da- morning from the st. Joseph's s
Catholic church in this city at ten
o'clock, and was attended by large
number of people from all over the
community in spite of the severe
weather. Solemn Requiem mass
was said by Father Otto Weisser,
who also preached a forceful run-
eral sermon. A special choir rem
dered several hymns. The pail
bearers were Ed, Devereaux, j. H.
Mohr. Alfred Ross, Louis Knable,
Anton Myers and Math Funk, all
old friends of the deceased. The
floral offerings were many and beau
tiful. Among the out re :own rel
atives present at the funeral was
Miss Marie Mihm, sister-in-law of
tn deceased. who arrived here from
Far, to attend the final services.
The services at the Catholic ceme-
terry east of .own where the remains
we're buried were also very impress
sive. and were attended by quite a
large number of people.

.MATH MERTES SUCCUMBS
To INJURIES Of LAST WEEK

Math Mertes, who on Wednesday
OF last week was injured by falling
on pitch fork which penetrated
his abdomen for apout "a zoos,
passed away at the home OF his
brother, j. B. Mertes, in this city
last Friday morning at two O'clock
in the presence Of his family and
brothers. He suffered untold pain
from the time he received the in
jury right up to the time he lost
consciousness short time before he
died, and talked to his brothers and
his friends up to within two hours
before the, end came.
The deceased was born in Ger
many 46 years ago, and immigrated
to the United States when he was
four years old. The family settled
at Avon. Mimi, where they engaged
In farming and where Math grew
to manhood. In 1898 when the
first settlers started filing on land
in this great Bowbells country Math
came here with his two brothers
and filed on a claim about half way
between this city and Coteau. He
lived on this for six years and prov
ed 1t up after which he sold the
place to his brother Mike, and went
back to Avon to work the home
place for two years. He found that
the BoWbells country was more to
his liking, so returned two years
later and purchased a half section
of land near his homestead, and
lived on and worked this pace up
to the time he received his fatal
injury.
IS In August 1908 he was united in
the holy bonds of matrimony at
Bowbells to Miss Gertie Mihm, to
which union nine children We're
born. one of which died in it's in

They are namely, Leonard. II years;
Victor, 10 years; Urban, 8 years;
Hildagard. years; Robert. years; !;
Oswald, 4 years; Alfred. years,
and Eugene. eight months old
Math was a very popular fellow
with everyone who knew him. To
know him was to like him. and we
doubt if he ever made an enemy
during his residence here He was
always hard worker, and believed
in making a living for himself and
his family by the sweat OF his
brow, and never attempted TO maise
any gains by the work of others.
He always wanted t., work for what
he received, and would not accept
anything from anyone uniess the
other fellow got value received.
Both in the city as Meu as out in
the country Math was u we1cnme

Washington, Jan. 24.-The first
step to bring about farmer repre-
sentation on the federal reserve
board was taken today by the SEN
ate in the passage of the Kellogg
Smith compromise bill in creating
the boards appointive membership
from five to six and providing that
the agricultural lists shall have a
spokesman among them.
The vote by which the bill was
passed was So to 9. Seven of those
who opposed the proposition were
Republicans and two Democrats.
They were Pomerene, Ohio, and Will
liams, Missippi, Democrats; Bran
degee, Connecticut; Calder, of New
York; Edge, New Jersey; Keyes,
New Hampshire; Mclean, Connec-
ticut; Moses, New Hampshire, and
Wadsworth, New York. Republicans.
BY the bill, which constitutes an
amendment to the federal reserve
act, the limited designation of the
present law is wiped OUT and in
stead of the specific provision for
the naming of two bankers to the
board, the statute, if agreed to by
the house, will direct the president
in making appointments TO the
board, to have "due regard to fair
representation Of financial, agricul-
tural, Industrial, and commercial
interests and geographical divisions
Of the country" The measure also
provides that hereafter no federal
reserve bank may enter into con-
tract for banking homes il their cost
is to exceed $25O,000 unless the

Mrs. J.. w. Bodeson is suing the

Hampden. The bureau claims the
elevator company's insurance ex-
pired June 30,. 1920, and was not
renewed until Sept. s. 1920, a day
after Bordenson was killed. The
bureau however, accepted and cash
ed the check for the renewal, un-
aware of the accident. Attorney
for Mrs. Bordenson claims that as
the bureau cashed the check, it
should pay compensation on the pol
icy. Judge Buttz mas reversed de-
cision.

Bismarck, n. d., Jan. 26.--LegaI
questions involving the state hail
law were argued before the state
supreme court here today in the
case Of the First National bank of
Halstad, Mimi. against the commits
sioner of insurance and the state
auditor.
The question arose. according to
Judge E. T. Burke, attorney for
the bank, from negotiations con-
Quoted by Dickinson people with
Chicago financial houses for the
sale of 1920 hail warrants and in
clude questions of whether or not
warrants are negotiable, and wheth-
err 1920 warrants can be paid out
Of 1921 taxes If 1920 taxes are in
sufficient to meet indemnity.
Judge Burke, who has investigat-
ed hail Insurance administration
pretty thoroughly in negotiations
conducted for the sale of warrants
said today in an interview that in
h.rent dangers in the hail warrant
law are that it is subject to pOliti-
cal administration.

juster awarded a crop loss where
there was not hail, according to
neighbors, but where the adjuster
and the person awarded loss were

in state hail insurance. No mat
ter who is in Office there is likely
to be political favoritism shown. |
