Wins Praise

The quality Of her acting as the
Private Secretary in THE News
Parade" is winning the praise or
movie fans everywhere for this
lovely newcomer to the screen. At
home in New York City, hundreds
admire her charming personality
and she has fairly set the style"
on Broadway by the way she
dresses her hair.
1.-The simple method I use in
caring for my hair says Miss
Shea, "haS been Of great help 10
me in my motion picture work,
where ones hair must always look
its best. It's just the thing for
busy girls, too, because it is so easy.
Most of the girls I know in stage
and picture work are taking it up
as soon as they hear about it. All
you do is put a little Danderine on
your brush every time you use it.
1t makes your hair SO easy to dress
and holds it in place wonderfully.
It's ideal for girls who are letting
their hair grow. 1t keeps my hair
and scalp sc clean and comfortable.
I don't shampoo half so often, now.
1t gives my hair such a silky, soft,
lustrous appearance that all my
friends comment on it."
Danderine removes the oily film
from each strand of hair. restores
its natural color, gives it more luS-
ire than brilliantine. It cleanses
and invigorateS the scalp; helps
overcome dandruff. It is delight
fully fragranced; isn't sticky or
oily; doesn't show. Waves, set
with it, lasts longer. All drug stores
have it, in generous Csc bottles

Slayer otHans Bjone
Starts Life Sentence
Francis Tucker Denied New Trial
by North Dakota Supreme
Court

Herald readers will recall that
Hans Bjone, quite well known in
this city, nephew of S. c. Bjone,
was murdered in the bank at Ver-
ona, N. D., of which he was CASH
Ter, in February, 1927. The motive
of the murder was robbery. For a
time after the crime had been
committed the officers were UP
against a solid wall as far as tang
IDLE clues were concerned.
It finally developed that Francis
Tucker, a young farmer living near
Veronaw, as probably the last man
in the bank before the crime was
discovered.
1t was known that Tucker was in
financial straits. With this to work
on the officers started to untangle
the case. In short time Tucker
was placed under arrest, charged
with first degree murder.
The trial was held in LaMoure
county. The jury returned a YER
dict of guilty of murder in the first
degree.
Under the North Dakota law this
verdict carries with it sentence of
life Imprisonment in the state pen
itentiary.
The defendant, through his at
torneys first made motion for a
new trial. After this was denied
an appeal to the state supreme
court was made. This motion was
denied few days ago Tucker was
taken to the State prison at Bis

Senator Henrik Shipstead
to Have Minor Operation
Condition of Scion Believed to
Have Been Caused by In
fected TOnsils.

Washington, May Is. Following
a complete and thorough examina-
ton by the medical authorities at
John Hopkins university hospital
at Baltimore, it has been decided
that Senator Henrik Shipstead's
condition probably is due to a
slight infection from his tonsils.
Physicians have decided that a
minor operation on nose and
throat will cure the evil.
Trouble arriving from this source
has been accumulated by the fact
that for the past several years the
senator has been taxing his
strength by too close application to
his work with probably not enough
exercise. The doctors say that he
has been living at too high a ten
sion and are confident that the
benefits resulting from this slight
operation, and with the rest which
they insist upon his taking, his
health soon will be recovered.
He is showing signs of continual
Improvement in regaining his
strength. His physical weakness
and his failure to recover from his
recent attack of influenza are the
symptoms which characterize his
case. The operation will be per-
formed on Tuesday.

Tourists Valuable Asset
to Business of Minnesota
Conservative Estimate Places the
Expenditure at Over $$4OO,O OO,-
600 Since 1917

How would you like to spend one
dollar and get back $1,000 in re-
turn?
Sounds like a fabulous sum from
a tiny investment, doesn't it? Yet,
that actually is the way the adver-
Using Minnesota has been doing to
attract visitors is paying dividends.
A tabulation made this week by
officials of the Ten Thousand
Lakes-Greater Minnesota associa-
ton showed in striking manner the
great return being received from
the advertising of Minnesota's at
fractions. Since 1917, when this
work began, total of 8,181, $50
tourists have come to Minnesota,
and they have spent during their
stay $3.50, 963, 800, according to the
most conservative estimates.
To attract these tourists, Mime
sofa has spent 1922, 468. In other
words, there has been return of
more than $1,000 for each dollar
which the association has spent, II.
c. Hotaling, secretary of the assoc
iation figures. To attract each tour
list has cost only about five cents.
All of which proves that the adj
vertising of states resources
pays in astounding dividends. Last
year alone, Mr.. Hotaling claimed,
tourists spent more than $4,000
GOO in Minnesota.
This year an even greater gain
may be expected. The Greater Min
nesota association and the Ten
Thousand Lakes association have
been merged into one organization
and the association so formed will
carry on greatly enlarged pro-
gram of advertising, dividing it's
energies equally between extolling
the agricultural resources of the
state and advertising its recrea-
tional attractions.
A fund of 100000 now is being
raised to make possible this great
er program. Governor Christian
