BIOGRAPHIES OF
MAKERS LIVES
GIVEN IN Wills

CHICAGO, June 2a.--Last wills and
testaments often give more insight into
the character of their makers than all
the words they have spoken in lie,
according to Glen B. Winship, New
York novelist, in an address here
"Wills are miniature biographies de-
picting mans success or failure, his
penuriousnesS, vice, spitefullness, pat
riotism, vision, or bigotry," said Mr..
Winship. mo will invented in the
Imagination of an author has surpassed
in strangeness the productions OF
reality.
"The will of the Emporer Saladin,
made in 1893, speaks more surely of the
deep disillusionment of his life than
all his memoirs. In it he requested
that his shirt be displayed to his
soldiers as the only thing OF all his
vast wealth and possessions that he
retained in dying.
Lord Nelson's staunch, bold charac-
ter is depicted in his will written before
the battle of Trafalgar, in which he
left his mistress, Lady Hamilton, and
their daughter as legacy to his king
and country, to be cared for in memory
of what he had done for England.
"Shortest and simplest will of any
famous person is said to be that of
Mathew Arnold. 1t ran: I leave every
thing of which die possessed to my
wife, Frances A will clear and simple
as his prose.
"a sinful, devil-may- will is that
of one William HicklinptOn OF POck-
lington, England. 1t was made in ITO
and is drafted as poem, running as
follows: L, William Hicklington, poet
of Pocklington, do give and beqlleath,
as free as I breathe, to thee, Mary
Jarum, the queen of my harum, my
cash and my cattle, with every chattle,
to have and to hold, come heat or come
cold, sans hindrance or strife, though

wishes were respected to the letrcr."

More Truth Than Poetry

STILL TERRIBLE


Time was when the Terrible Turk
Maintained an extensive narem,
He ruled by the flash OF the dirk
Or the scimitar's sinister CLEAN.
He bullied and badgered with cCn-
scianceleSs zest
All folk OF inferior station,
And every one said that the Turk
was a pest
And a terror to civilization.
The Turk has now altered his ways,
He does not wed wives by the
score,
Nc longer a taste he displays.
For the letting OF icnocent gore.
In public and private he sternly le
strains
All urseemly outburst OF passion
And over a modern republic he

In a real constitutional fashion.
Yet Kennel, the Boss OF the state
Has sent round the word to the

That he means, at forthcoming
date
To make a forensic address.
And the statesmen, as soon as theil
papers they read
With wild trepidation will slliver,
For Kennel is going to read them a

BIT OF EARTH ON
PARIS PILGRIMAGE

Memorial day 1927 representatives
of 1000 Legion posts, in a special
ceremony, will place In a tiny box,
soil from the graves of world war vet
Grams in home town cemeteries, and
the buddy from that post who is GO
ing to the Paris convention next Sep
TENDER, will accept this box as
sacred trust and will promise to place
that soil on the grave of a comrade
from the home town who is buried
in France.
If the boy after whom the post is
named is not buried overseas, the soil
will be placed on the graves of COM
rades in one of the great American
war cemeteries overseas. This will
be an act of tribute to those men of
1917 who have passed on and by ming
ling the soil of America with that
over the graves of American veterans
buried in France, will in truth make
that soil forever part of the home
land.
This special ceremony, prepared by
National Headquarters will be made
a part of the Memorial day tribute of
every American Legion post to de-
parted comrades on May 80, 1927.
Minnesota Legionnaires entrusted with
this sacred earth will sail from
Montreal Sept. 9 for Antwerp, thence

in the course of study. According
to due form of law Danish was made
a part of the curriculum in the
grades; the instruction was given by
the teacher of each room. The local
congregation provided for parochial
school during three or four fall
months. This plan broke up the work
considerably and weakened the Eng
lish department quite seriously. In
1917 upon the suggestion and with the
the Danish work was reorganized and
full-time teacher employed. This
department has been very instrument
al in the spiritual and intellectual
development of the pupils and rather
than become a hindrance to the other
work it has been a substantial aid.
Without doubt this is one of the most
important phases of the school work
and very far-reaching in its effects.
Upon consolidation industrial work
was added; for the girls cooking and
sewing and for the boys manual train
ing and agriculture. These courses
are still maintained with the excep-
ton of manual training which had to
be discontinued because of lack of
space; a strong course in agronomy
and animal husbandry is still given in
the high school, A little high school
work was started about 1909; this was
n in, in 70 cfr h nm,
the grade work in the upper grades.
After 1916 one year of high school
work was added annually until the
four years were provided for in 1919
20, but because of some complications
the high school teacher failed to ar
rive so the fourth year was not Of
fered till 192O-21 when a class of two
was graduated. This year the grad
uating class consists of eight.
The teaching force was two during
the first year in the new district; now
it is twelve.
ABOUT 1915 the school ceased to be
under semi-graded organization and
became graded; then consolidation
came about with Independent organi
cation; in 1921 the school was placed
on the recommended list with full

graduates to the State University
without entrance examinations. AS
soon as room space can be provided
the school could become state high
school.

men to head the school. A. Bobjerg

ASkOV SCHOOL HAS

Five Men Have Headed Local In

Changes in the educational world
have been rapid during the past gen.
Grafton but it is doubtful that progress
in school matters can be rivaled in
the "cut-over" territory. This in
cludes the Askov school
No known record of the school is in
existence prior to 1905. When the
Danish settlers arrived upon the
scene there was found poorly
equipped school with few pupils and
a poorly qualified teacher. However,
tradition relates that the Banning
district of which Partridge township
was a part had voted money for the
erection of a new building in Askov.
No sooner had the new settlers ar
rived before they set about to assume
control of school matters; new dis
trict comprising about three town.
ships was formed, new officers elected
and a new school house Ghe assembly
halD erected.
The influx of settlers caused the
school population to, increase by leaps
and bounds. According to records
the enrolment in 19O6-07 was u; this
increased rapidly until 1921 when the
300 mark was passed and where it
has remained since.
The new two-room building soon
became too small; already in 1910 the
four-room building Oh. C. Andersen
schooD was erected, in 1917 a four
room addition was put up, while the
socalled Degerstrom school was
moved in from the country and added
in 1920. Conditions at the present
time are very crowded particularly in
the high school department.
Transportation of pupils began al
most Immediately, entirely at district
expense. In 1916 the district changed
to consolidation organization when
the state paid the major portion of
the transportation. The first year
two vans were run; now 10 vans care
for transportation during the winter.
Equally rapid changes took place

P. Christensen then followed with
four years service; John Sorensen
worked here two years and F. Clarey

completing his eleventh year. The
people of the district are greatly in
debted to these men for their untiring
efforts.
With the close of the present school
year the district will lose the able
and steadying influence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Nielsen, both have been untiring
in their efforts in school and out.
They have fostered and supported all
worthwhile undertakings in the COM
munity. Mrs. Nielsen has worked in
the evening classes, in the continual
ton school, among the young people,
among the ladies and in the Sunday
school; many persons both young and
old have sought her advice and sug-
gestions not only once but innumer-
years Mr.. Nielsen has built up
strong school; the state department
has always. complimented the board
upon the work of the school. He has
made. education popular. When he
assumed charge of the school the edu-
cational ideal was schooling regularly

now has a number of students at the
State University each year. One re-

for granted as part of the school sys-

WILLIAMS DOINCS

J Parker Van Vandt, manager of
the National Park Syndicate Line, was
IN Williams recently comforting with
local Forest Service officials in regard
to site for landing field for his
company. This company, which has
on its board of Directors such well
known names as Firestone, Ford,
Cuggenheimer, and other eastern
capitalists, proposes to establish a
park to park airline from coast to
coast. The Grand Canyon will be the
next stop on the way west, after Zion
national park in Utah. The ten pas
senger planes are being manufactured
now in the Ford factory. The COM
pany proposes to establish landing
field some twelve or thirteen miles
south OF the Canyon, from which point
their passengers will be taken to the
Canyon by motor 'busses. Mr.. Van
Vandt, who was making preliminary
survey of the route stated that actual
work on the landing fields should be
begun in two or three months.
A crew of Santa Fe men started
work Tuesday morning on the tunnel
between Williams and Ash Fork. The
tunnel will be deepened and the track
lowered three feet.
Two brightly painted Rotary signs
now adorn the highway at the east
and west entrances of town. Rotarian
r. A. Christy, through the courtesy
of the Haistead Lumber company,
furnished both the material and the
labor on the attractive signs.
The way is now clear, for the calling
of bids for the paving of Bill Williams
Avenue from First Street to the west
town limits. At the last meeting of
the city council, the City dads passed
a resolution calling upon the property
owners to pave from the curb to the
eighteen foot strip in the center that
will be built by the state and federal
appropriations. No opposition was
encountered to this, the resolution
being adopted as per petition signed
by the property owners and given to
the council last fall for said paving.
