"Well, springs come" announced
Alice Cut-up, looking out of her
window. There's Bud Murray on
his roller skates. It's the surest sign,
just like the first robin or bluebird.
He said he was going to start skat-
ing as soon as the walks were free
from ice."
Just then Bud spied Alice and beck
oned her to como out. Get out your
rollers and join the gang" he yelled.
Bring Tom along. too" So Alice ran
to the basement where her skates
had been all winter and soon she was
on the sidewalk trying to beat Bud
in race down the block. Before
long Tom joined them. Then Betty
and Billy Cut-out came over. The
party kept growing till the whole
block was. SO full that the children
were humping into each other. Then
Bud had an idea.
Everybody has to skate down one
side of the street and come back on

Desperate Attempts Being

Shanghai, China, Sept. 11.-(By
the A. P.)-Desperate attempts of
the Kiangsu generals to check the
advance ofH Chekiang troops upon
Thing, a town about 100 miles to the
westward of Shanghai, near Taih Lake

Chekiang troops were reported by

south of here, to have made good
progress through the hilly country
south Of Thing. High hopes were
expressed Of the possibility of their
striking across the lake or to the
northward and cutting the Shanghai
Marking Railway lines as we'll as

This would have the effect of cut

MRS. FERGUSON
IS TARGET IN
LEGAL BATTLE
Right of Texas Woman To
Become Governor Is De-
MED in Suit Filed

Austin. Tex, Sept. 1.-THE in
junction suit filed here yesterday to
prevent the name Of Mrs. Miriam
Ferguson, Democratic gubernatorial
nominee, from going on the ballot,
charges that James f. Ferguson, who
is debarred from holding office, is
the real candidate, the petition to-
day revealed.
If Mrs. Ferguson's name is not
kept off the ballot as requested in
the suit filed against the county
judge, county clerk and sheriff Of
every county in the state, the petit
tion says Ferguson will be elected
Governor in the name Of his wife,
thereby circumventing the judgment
of impeachment and disqualification
against him.
Another proposition presented by
the petition is that, according to a
common law, which was adopted in
Texas in 1910, woman, especially
4 married woman, was ineligible to
hold any executive or judicial office
and that no such right has been con-
ferred by the statute Of the Consti-
tuition.

ONE DIES, ONE
HURT AS TRAIN
STRIKES AUTO
Northern Pacific Train Hits
Car Containing Four PeO-
ple at Dickinson

Dickinson, N. d., Sept. l1.-One
was killed, one fatally injured and
two others badly hurt when North
ern Pacific passenger train No. Z
crashed into Ford touring car,
bearing four members of the Daniel
Decker family, in the local yards.
Peter Decker is dead, John Decker,
II, may live but few hours, physi-
clans declare, Ralph Decker, Ia, suf
fered broken leg and was badly
bruised, and Daniel Decker, the
father, suffered serious internal in
juries. The latter two will recover.
The accident occurred as the pas
senger train was pulling into the sta
ton here. The train was travelling
at about 25 miles an hour when it
hit the car, driven by Peter Decker,
which was stalled on the crossing.
The automobile turned completely
around and crushed its occupants un-
der the wreckage. The engine, ten
der and mail coach was derailed by
the impact.
The Decker family resides on a
farm five miles south of Dickinson.
They were returning from the Stark
county fair when the accident oc-
cured. 1t is believed the driver be-
came confused at the approach of
the train and killed the motor in
stead of reversing the car.
A spare engine from the round
house here was attached to the train
which continued to the Glendive
terminal after delay of two hours.

GRAVEL TESTS
MADE FREE
Highway Commission Offers
This Service

Farmers of the state who own
gravel pits, or who have gravel on
their land, and who wish to use it
or dispose of it for road work are
invited to send samples Of it to the
State Highway; Commission for test
ing, according to an article in re-
cent Hifhway Commission news bull
letin.
The Highway department, the bull
letin says, has complete testing
equipment and can correctly analyze
all samples sent in. By taking ad-
vantage of this free service the
farmer can assure himself of the
exact worth of his product.
"This free service" says the bull
letin, "will, no doubt, explain to
many why gravel or sand taken from
certain pits does not hold up when
used in concrete, or doesn't pack
right when used on highways"
The testing plant for gravel is a
new thing in North Dakota, and it is
expected that it will prove invalu-
able in the effect for the better
which it will have on work in which,
previously, poorer grades of gravel
have, unknowingly, been used.
Previously gravel has been used
on a hit or miss basis. It was used
and if it was good material, we'll
and good. If it happened to be poor
stock the work had to be re-done.
With the Inauguration of the test
ing laboratory this condition is
changed. Now no gravel can be used,
at least in road work, which doesn't
pass all tests.

LETTER SENDS
SHERIFF THERE
AT HIGH SPEED
Numerous Other Threats
Made by Cranks Following
Loeb, Leopold Verdict
TO LEAVE TO-DAY
Heavy Guard Will Accompany
Youths to the Penitenti-
ary at Joliet, III.

Chicago, Sept. 1l-(By the A. P.)
After a night in which new
threat to blow up the county Jail
brought Sheriff Peter Hoffman
speeding into Chicago at midnight,
Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold
Jr., under sentence of life imprison-
ment for the murder, and 80 years
for the kidnapping for ransom, of
Robert Franks, 14-years- old, today
awaited their removal to Joliet pen
itentiary.
The 19-ycar-old youths who con-
fessed they killed ito get thrill'
amused themselves by playing cards
pending the start for Joliet which,
it appeared, would not be before or
3 p. m. Sheriff Hoffman, in disclos-
ing the latest threat, a repetition Of
many others, made by cranks, said
it was about 1880 p. m. when he re-
ceived the anonymous telephone call
telling him that the Jail was to be
blown up.
Rushes To Jail
81 jumped into my car and came
60 miles an hour to the Jail, arriv-
ing about midnight, just to make
sure that nothing had happened,'
said Sheriff Hoffman.
The sheriff said he expected to
star: between and 8 p. m, with
three automobiles in the official
party, all guarded by heavily armed
deputies. The advance car, he said,
would be filled with officers armed
with shotguns loaded with buckshot.
In the second car Loeb and Leopold
would ride with four armed guards.
Another contingent of guards with
buckshot charged guns would bring
up the rear.
In the meantime the sheriff had
guards doubled in the alley at the
rear of the Jail yard. A crowd of
about 500 curious persons gathered
outside the entrance to the Jail but
police details kept them moving.
Sleep SOundly
Loeb and Leopold slept soundly all
night and had to be awakened by
guards at breakfast time.

Halvor l.. Halvorson Of Minot.
fusion candidate for Governor, will
open vigorous speaking campaign

Mr.. Halvorson will follow his Devils

Quoted until the time of the Novem-
ber election, the campaign commit
tee announced. Members of the
committee were Joined in conference
here by Mr.. Halvorson, Attorney
General George F. Shafer and 9th
ers.
Campaign headquarters will be es-
tablished in Fargo within a few
days by V. A. Corbett Of Minot, cam
paign manager, it was decided. Of
ficers of the campaign committee
were named as follows: Chairman
H. p. Goddard, Bismarck; secretary
Charles Simon, Bismarck; treasurer
Horace Young, Fargo.
Corbett's Views
Mr.. Corbett was optimistic over
the interest shown in the Independ-
ent campaign since the selection OF
Mr.. Halvorson to head the ticket
here recently.
"There is a revival Of the old
fighting spirit of the Independents
that won for us BEFORE" he said
"The sentiment generally among the
Independent workers is that the
fusion ticket can be put over if all
workers will put their shoulder te
the wheel and get the voters out
The last election was won by the
voters that did not go to the polls
thousands of Independents not vot-
ing because of over-confidence.
"There also is a realization among
Independent workers that to let any
election 60 by default would be to
sacrifice all they had fought fol
and gained in the last six years in
the state. l believe the majority
favor continuing the constructive
program Of the Independents in state
affairs, and do not want to endanger
the credit and good name of the
state again by permitting it to be
turned over again to a wasteful and
expensive socialistic program.
"The action of A. C. Sorlie, the
Nonpartisan League candidate, in
finally taking stand in national poll
tics for Robert M. LaFollette makes
it impossible for him to further
deceive the Independent voters, and
it makes it plain that the political
battle in state affairs is purely one
between forces favoring the con-
structive Independent program or
the socialistic Nonpartisan League
program"
