MARSHAL CAUSES BREAK IN
PETTIC0AT GOVERNMENT
mo Job for a Woman" Says
Mrs. Bertha Ward, Handing
Her Star to a Man.

The nations first complete petticoat
| city government Is no more, for Mrs
Bertha Ward, village marshal Of Des
Laos, N. D., has resigned because the
"job was too tough" as she explained
In submitting her resignation to the
remainder Of the feminine city "moth-
ers" Mrs. Ward has handed over
her polished star to Daniel Olson, mus
cular section foreman here, who now
serves order in the village.
Mrs Wards reasons for resigning
were concise and to the point.
No. 1 was that her husband thought
the job was too hazardous for the
consideration and second, the Job was
never intended for woman Of small
stature.
Lack of physical prowess went
against me-" declared Mrs. Ward,
Drunken persons and others would
Just laugh at me, and I was almost
helpless to do anything"
Meanwhile CONSERVATION reigns
among the other women officials OF
Des Laos. To the outside world they
are afraid that the resignation looks
like their regime is failure. They
tried to prevail upon Mrs. Ward to
remain in office until the next village
election, but she 'had had enough"
she told them.
Mrs Ward did not make any arrests
while she was in office. She tried to
make one, but the man who was act
ing in a disorderly manner jerked
away from her and ran. She tele-
phoned to Deputy Sheriff @. P, Van
denoever at Minot, the county seat,
but when he arrived it was found that
the justice of the peace did not have
warrant blank; so the sleepy deputy,
reused in the middle of a nights
slumber, journeyed back to Minot and
the arrest was not effected.
Its mans job, without doubt"
declares Mrs Ward 81 couldn't be
prevailed upon again to accept such a
position"
