Peterman Jackson, mentioned in
,The YorltYille Enquirer of last Tues
day, according to information that has
since been received, is'a former citizen
of Bullocks Creek township and was
once manager of what has since been
known as the s. l.. Davidson place.
He left York county in the late sixties
and went to Mississippi. He is an un-
Gle of Mr.. ]. ]. McSwain, of the Can
non mill, Yorkville.
All the York county farmers who
have old corn left over, say that it is
badly eaten up by the weevil. Indeed,
it seems to be a matter of difficulty
to get sufficient sound corn for the
family table. The common testimony
is that the weevil was there when the
corn was gathered year ago, and it
has multiplied at ruinous rate. In
quiries Of different farmers develop
the information that this years crop,
now being harvested, is also infested
with weeyil. No on seems to know of
any effective remedy for the pest.

Despite the fact that the crop is
short, York county cOlored farmers
have more cash money this year than
they have had in the past two years,
according to merchants and others in
position to know. This is largely
due to the fact that the colored farm
ers especially have lived very econo-
mically while making the crop and
have money ahead.

Information is that York county
negroes have canned very few black
berries during the summer, recently
come to a close. His majesty, the boil
weevil is responsible for it, accord
ing to reports coming from the cook.
There is a belief among some of the
more superstitious of the negroes,
that boil weevils are poison-deadly
poison. They say that many weevils
are found on the blackberry bushes
and even on the berries. A cooked
boil weevil, they say, is just as poison
Gus as a wcevil that is not cooked.
Determined to take no chances on
meeting death by poison many Of them
have refused to can any blackberries
this year. But the fallacy is not con-
fined to the negroes alone. Report has
it that one well educated white woman
in the western section of the county at
least believes the story. She has in
the past put up scores and scores Of
cans of blackberries for the use of her
family and some for sale. THE
weevls might get on the berries" she
is quoted as saying. "and do not pro-
pose to be responsible above if not
here for the death of people through
eating poison boil weevils." And she
hasn't preserved single can or jar Of
berries.

The body of George Robins, negro Of
Catawba township who was killed last
Tuesday week ago by Jim Withers,
was eXhumed on Tuesday of this week
and an inquest held by Coroner Paul
G. McCorkle. The verdict of the jury
of inquest was that Robins came to
his death at the hands of Withers.
There is SOME mystery surrounding the
shooting Of Robins. 1t seems that he
and another negro were playing
checkers on the farm of j. b. Sykes
when Withers came up with a shot
gun under his arm. Robins had a gun
lying on the floor beside him. There
were no words between the negroes
and there had been no previous quar-
rel, according to the testimony of wit
nesses. Suddenly Withers's gun went
off and Robins was dead. The tragedy
was dismissed for the. time being as an
accident. But as the result Of "nigger
talk" the father Of Robins came to the
coroner and requested an investiga-
ton. The result is that Withers is
in Jail.

Now Comes Question
of Who Threw First
Horrible Custard Pie

Who was the first to use the Gus
tard pie as a comedy prop?
The general impression is. perhaps
that to Mack Sennett. the comedy pro-
Queer. goes the honor.
Snitz Edwards. who is playing with
Wallace Reid in his Paramount Pic
ture, The Ghost Breaker claims
that he used the custard pie thirty
five years ago when he and San Bern
ard put on a vaudeville act in a little
concrt hall in Hoboken.
The proprietor. a German named
Gansberg engaged Edwards and Bern
ard at SIS a week-not fifteen apiece,
but Is for the act. They went over
good for a week and were approached
for a Encouragement.
I'VE went back for another week on
three conditions says Snitz. The
first was that he raise the salary TO
$3.50; the second that he lend us his
head waiter to play a straight part
and the third that he provide one Gus
tard pie every night for the props. He
agreed to all conditions and we went
on again. The last evening of our
engagement Gansberg didn't show up
with the pie until just before we were
to 60 on the stage.
I'm all tired ouid'." he explained;
81 went to six pie shops but couldn't
get any custard pie. So you'll have to
use ~cocoanut.
THE ~cocoanut served the same pur-
pose. however, so the act went off
all right"

ARTISTS NOT IMMUNE
FROM THE TIME CLOCK

The mere fact that one is a screen
player does not make him or her i'm
mune from punching a time clock, ac-
cording to a decision handed down by
Judge Trippett, of the federal court in
Los Angeles.
"Kewpie' Morgan, former Fox COM
edian, claime-i he was an artist, and
that artists certainly should not be
compelled to face the time clock each
morning. Fox thought otherwise, and
Morgan was soon out when he refused
to obey orders. Suit for $4,000 fol-
lowed.
The court decided that artists are
subject to orders the same as any 9th
err employees, and dismissed the COM
plant.

Interesting Program at Foxholm
School Dedication

The new Foxholm school building
was dedicated last evening. very
large crowd attending. A two hour
program was given. The first part
Of the program was given by the pu-
pills of the school under the direction
of the following teachers: Miss Anna
Schwalier, principals; Mrs. Stramer,
intermediate, and Miss Tracy, primary
teacher, and consisted of songs, pan
tomines and dramatizations.
Walter Archibald, president Of the
school board then gave short talk
and introduced the chairman Of the
evening, T. L. Simmons.
A. M Waller, county superintend-
ent, talked briefly, comparing the
school methods of today with those of
two decades ago. Miss Martineau of
Minot sang two enjoyable soprano
solos. Miss Thompson of the Western
Conservatory of Music rendered a
piano solo Short talks were given

At 4 very enthusiastic meeting of
number of representative business
men Of Minot, held at the Association
of Commerce rooms last night, plans
were laid for the organization of a
Building and Loan Association for
this city.
Secretary McNair, of the Fargo
Building and Loan Association ad-
dressed the gathering and explained
the plan under which the Fargo Or
ganization is operated. He expressed
it as his opinion that similar or
ganization in Minot will not only
prove a good safe paying investment,
but is just what the city needs for it's
development. In addition to assist
ing Minot people to build and own
their own homes, it offers them an
inducement to save some money reGu-
1arly thus fostering the habit of thrift.
The Fargo Building and Loan AS
sociation, mutual organization, re-
Gently increased it's capitalization
from $6O0,OO0.OO to $5,060,000.O0. 1t
has investors from as far distant as
the Philippine islands and for many
years has proved itself a good safe
place for investing funds.
While no definite action was taken
last night, those present appeared de-
termined to go ahead with the propo-
sition and Mr.. McNair returned to
Fargo this morning. He will prepare
additional data to be presented to an
other gathering early in the week,
when it is expected a permanent or
ganization will be perfected.
Mr.. McNair believes that there will
be no difficulty in organizing an AS
sociation with half a million dollars
capitalization here. 1t is hoped that
it's organization will be perfected so
that it can begin doing business by
January ]. No excessive returns are
to be promised the investors. 1t will
probably be a mutual concern and in
that event should net the investors
from six to eight per cent, Mr.. Nc
Nair says.
An investor paying in six dollars a
month, in ten years will have paid up
stock in the association amounting to
S1,OOO.OO, altho he will have actually
paid in but $4,000, the difference
representing the accrued interest.
The object of the association in
addition to affording investors an op-
portunity and incentive to save their
money, will enable many to own their
homes in the city. Mr.. McNair be-
lievcs that the first loans may be
made within about six months after
the organization is perfected. Minot
needs just such an organization.
There is a great scarcity of homes in
our city and the demand for houses
will increase as our city develops.
The little city of Lisbon, N. D., a
town Of less than 1000 population
has had building and loan associa-
ton in operation for years. Willis
ton has such an organization.

Fac.s about your name; Its history; mean
Ing: whence 1t was derived: significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
DORIS.

TtlOUGH etymologists do not d.
rectly connect Doris with Dor
othy, and some believe that she
is merely modern version Of q fem
mime fancy for a name trifle out OF
the ordinary, it is impossible to be-
Iieve that her source was not Identical
with Dorothea and that strange but
correct reversal Theodore.
Such being the case, Doris comes
from one Of the early Christian Greek
names. notably Thekla. St. Thekla
was said to have been disciple Of
St. Paul and to have been exposed to
lions at Antioch. Instead Of tearing
her to pieces, they crouched at her
feet but nevertheless she was consld-
cred the first virgin martyr. and no
higher praise is possible for wom-
an than to compare her to st. Thekla.
From Thekla came the French
Tecla and then through the Eastern
church, Theodore, slgnifylng "divine
eift," and much later, the incorrect
Dorothea.
There have been two st. Theodoras,
Greek empress.
Massinger composed a drama deal
ing with the story Of st. Dorothea, the
CappadocIan maiden who sent the
roses Of paradise by angelic hands as
testimony Of the Joys Of heaven. It is
needless to go into the growth Of
Dorothea, followed by Dorothy, Dolly,
Dora, and Dorinda. Her contractions,
elaborations and diminutives are le-
gion, but unfortunately history does
not record what first enterprIsing
mother named her baby Doris, though
the name is almost as popular as Dor
othy in England and America. Even
Germany uses It. France alone finds
It too harsh for her tongue and pre-
fers the softer Dorette and Doralice.

TIPS TO THE RADiOiST

The danger of stringing radio
wires over light or power wires
was demonstrated In New Jer-
sey recently when well-knOwn
citizen was shocked to death.
Radio distance lends enchant-
ment. a writer says, "A great
many amateurs prefer to hear a
few discordant notes from 1000
miles away than wonderfully
executed program from their
own town."
Radio accomplishes some great
and new thing every day. Now
it has been found that old razor
blades can be used in making
condensers and another way to
get rid Of old blades is given to
a grateful public.
Radio has gone to the dogs. A
Hood River, Ore, paper de-
scribes a toy dog with his tail
caught in trap. Upon calling,
"Here, Tige," the voice vibra-
tions release the trap and the
pup springs at you.
One Of the latest inventions In
the radio field Is a filter that
separates the telephone and tel
egraph waves. We shall look
forward to the day when filter
will separate the good music
from the bad and automatically
send the latter to Uranus.
In boring or saving wood,
fiber, etc., soap Is far better
than oil. Also If screws are
soaped with ordinary kitchen
soap they will enter the wood
easily without danger Of ruin
ing the head slots, and, more
over, they may be readily re-
moved at any time.
DR.. Marconi lives a life of
clock-work regularity upon his
yacht. He breakfasts at 8 and
tolerates no tardiness on the
part Of those dining with him.
He Is an 1ndefatigable worker
and holds himself In readiness
to give personal attention to
any radio matters that may
come up, night or day.
Dean Dexter s. Kimbal Of Cor
nell university In recent radio
talk to engineers, made two i'm
portant points: One, that man
can now say "Tll tell the world"
without using slang; and the
other, that the study Of ether vi
brations, upon which radio is
based, is In its infancy, and the
future promises even more than
the development from manual
signs to radio.

Colonel +. S. Person Re-appointed
Inspecting Officer

Colonel E. S. Person has received
his appointment as Inspecting officer
of the Grand Commanderv of Knights
Templar Of North Dakota for the
fourth consecutive time. Altho the
offer came from the Grand Com
mander unsolicited, Colonel Person
will accept it, altho it means consid-

the annual inspection.
Colonel Person has rewritten the
