PIONEER EDUCA-
TOR SUCCuMBS
in CALIFORNIA

County superintendent John A.
Haig, who had been in poor health
during the past year or more, and who
with Mrs. Haig left last fall for Whit
tier, California, where the couple
spent the winter in the hopes that the
change of climate might be of benefit
to his health, passed away on Thurs
day Of last week. For a time after
his arrival in California his health
seemed to improve, and most Of his
friends here in Devils Lake had no
ilea that he was in a serious condition
until the news of his death was an
nounced.
Mr. Hag was one of the most pro-
mincnt educators in the state, and
Ramsey county was indeed fortunate
in his locating here, and giving up
his service. He made schools work
his life study, and since he left school
himself was continuously on the look
out for better and improved methods
in the schools Of which ne had charge.
He spent all of his spare time in inn
proving and lettering himself in his
chosen work. and in his death the
community loses one of its most use
ful and desirable citizens, one whose
place will be mighty hard to fill.
In addition to his school work de-
| ceased VISA also a church worker Of
considerable prominence, and for a
number Of years was superintendent
of the Presbyterian Sunday school,
where he did very efficient work
and where his old pupils will remen-
Der him for all time to come.
Deceased was born at Potsdam,
N. y, on October IA, 1913, and spent
his boyhood days and received his
education there. After fitting him.
self for school work he was employed
as superintendent of schools of St.
Lawrence county, N. Y, for nine years
IN 1894 he came to Devils Lake to
take charge Of the city schools here,
and after making for himself splen-
did record here, he went to Rolla
: where he had charge Of the city
| schools until 1908, when he returned
, TO Devils Lake to accept the posi-
tion Of county superintendent Of
schools of Ramsey county. Since that
time he has held this position with
great credit not only to himself but
the community as we'll.
!: He was married to Miss Mary Hal
LEY at Madrid, n Y, to which union
!. four children were born. A son
Earnest passed away seven years ago,
and the other three survive. They
are namely Allan V. Haig, president
of the Devils Lake City Commission,
Myron j. Haig, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce of Whittier,
Calf, and Miss Helen Haig, assistant
county superintendent of schools of
Ramsey county. In addition to his
wife and children, deceased leaves
one brother and four sisters, Dr.. A.
A. Haig of Essex, Mass, Mrs. Joanna
Russell of Boston, Mass; Mrs. Jennie
Beck of Goleta, CAL; Mrs. William
Buck of Starkweather, N. D.; and Mrs.
John Graham of Saskatchewan.
The body arrived here on No. 4

Allan V. Haig, deceaseds son, who
left Friday night to meet the remains
at Spokane, and Mrs. Haig, who was

electing a new state executive commit
tee to control it's affairs and endors
ing candidates for state and nationa
offices the North Dakota Nonpartisar
League ended it's state convention
here Saturday.
The members of the new exc.
cutive committee are: Walter

ier-News.
Townley's Influence
This was brought about chiefly
through the influence of A. C. Town.
ley, national president of the Nonpar.
tisan league, and the desire of the
rank and file Of the league members
to make clean sweep of the factions
which have kept the league in Il tur.
moil.
The executive committee whic!
seemed in full control when the con.
vention began lost ground steadily as
the sessions proceeded, and was finally
swept away.
Dramatic Resignation
The attack on the old committee
culminted Saturday morning in dram.
attic announcement by A. c. Townley
that he would resign as president Of
the National Nonpartisan League, anc
would take no further active part ir
North Dakota politics. His resigna
tion he said would be handed in Marcl
81, the date set for the Minncsot; /;
state convention Of the league.
This announcement made by Mr.
Townfey with tears in his eyes camt
at the psychological moment to give
the last push necessary to send the
edifice Of political power reared by
Liederbach and his friends crashing!
to the ground.
No Victory For Townley
Although the two minority mem
bers of the old committee who were
friendly to Mr.. Townley, Walter Mad
dock and R. H. Walker, are also auto
matically retired from membership by
the election of a new committee. tnt
outcome Of the convention must bs
regarded on the whole as a Townle,
victory as most Of the members Of tn.
new committee are known to be friend
ly to him, although none Of them have
been prominent in the recent wrangle:

high school football squad left at
noon today for Alexandria. Mimi,
where the local boys will meet the
strong high school team of that city
on the football field Saturday after
noon in the most important game the
locals have scheduled this season.

battle to the last ditch, however, ac-
cording to the coach.

enberg, tackle, arc on the cripple list.
Moore, regular guard, who was quite
badly hurt In last weeks game, Is still

fair shape and may be able to last u
the game. said the coach. schmalen.

il he will be able to play the entire
contest. Marks,ls still in poor shape

the game tomorrow, stated "a

portion of the contest. 81.
The game is expected to develop
into a bitter baltic. The locals have

City Council Decides Upon
Matter at Meeting-Thurs-

A night police station will be estab-

DeMers avenue it was decided at a
meeting Of the East Grand Forks city
council held in the city hall Thurs
day evening. Police telephone calls
will be received there after a certain
hour to be set later, probably 8
o'clock.
The fact that there are only two
%patrolmen on duty in the city at night
and that their presence is needed in
the business section most of the time
is the reaso given for the change.
The new system is expected to make
1t much easier to get in touch with
police officials at night than at pres
ent, it was stated.
An ordinance prohibiting tractors
equipped with Jugs from crossing
bridges in the city was also passed.
The measure is aimed especially to
stop such traffic over the DeA1ers ave-
Il bridge, it is understood. The
