FONSECA WINS BATTING TITLE

Former Bismarck
Editor Makes Ace
On Gopher Course

Verne E. Joslin. former editor Of
the Bismarck Tribune, has proved
conclusively that Bismarck's golf
course is much tougher than that at
Heron Lake, MINI.
A few days ago the journalist joined
the Hole In One" club at the Min
nesota city after making the lO0-yard
No. 6 hole on the Heron Lake course
in one stroke.
Three Heron Lake men. who we're
playing in q foursome with Mr.. JOS
lin. testify to the accuracy OF the
editors report.
The green on this particular hole
IS surrounded BY bunkers and is not
visible from the driving tee. It was
apparent that Joslin's ball had rolled
to the green but 1t was not found ull-
til Meyer sunk his putt.
JOslin Is the third to make an ace
on the Heron Lake course.

MARY HAZZARD FISHER

To the members of the present
generation of southern Delawareans
the name of Mary Hazard Fisher is
but an echo of the past, but to theii
fathers and mothers it was an i'm
portant factor in their lives.
Miss Fisher was born in Milton
Delaware, on September 18th, 1912
the daughter of John Hazard Fisher
and Eliza Coulter Fisher, and passed
out of this life in the home of her
niece, Mrs. Afford T. Moore, at Had
don Heights, New Jersey, on Octo-
ber 25th, 1929.
AS, was the custom for the daugh-
ters of well-to-do families of that
age, she was educated in private
schools; in Laurel under the super
vision of Mr.. Witherbee and in Mil
ton with Mr.. Morris.
Her dominating traits of character
were her pride of ancestry and her
loyalty to her family. No one who
ever came in contact with her will
forget how much she enjoyed being
the direct descendant of John and
Margaret Fisher, of Clitheroe, Eng
land, who came with William Penn
on the Welcome" and how proud
she was of her other ancestral lines
of the prominent old Delaware fam
ilies-the Laceys, Coulters and HaZ-
yards.
Very soon after the Daughters of
the American Revolution were or
ganized, Miss Fisher claimed her
lineal service. She was admitted
when Delaware could boast of only
one chapter, and retained a life long
interest in the patriotic program of
the National Society.
In Milton she was prominent in
church and civic interests whenever
her family duties would permit, but
her family always came first. After
years of devotion to an invalid moth
er, Miss Fishers life work was the
rearing of the four motherless chill
dren of her brother, Captain John F.
Fisher. She gave them her entire
time, stamping indelibly upon their
characters, her own an
cestral pride and holding up before
them her scorn of anything common.
She assisted in their education, and
not only was a devoted aunt, but
took the place of the mother who had
passed on and of the father who was
obliged to spend his time on the
high seas.
Her appearance always impelled
attention. With her crown of snow
white hair, and her tall, straight fig
ure that the weight of years did not
bend, she moved among her asso-
ciates with the dignity and proud
spirit that were never broken by any
condition in her life.
Among those to whom her passing
will be loss, are the four whom she

MARRIAGE RATE LAW
In STATE REPORT SAYS
Continued from Page u


port, on July 1, 1928, was 120, ,013, 600,
and on July 1, 1927, 118,628,000. On
the basis of these estimates the
number of marriages per 1000 of the
population was 9.85 in 1928, as
against 1912 in 1927; the number of
divorces per 1000 of the population
was 1.63 in 1928, as against 1.62 In
1927.
While the net decrease in the num-
ber of marriages, in the country as
a whole, the report goes on to say,
was 1.5 per cent, the relative
change in the different States rang
ed from decrease of Is per cent in
Florida to an increase of 1873 per
cent in Nevada.
Because of the numerous requests
for this information, the relative
number of marriages to each III
vorce has been computed by the
United States Department of Com
merce. In 1928, for the United States
as a whole, the report indicates 6
marriages for each divorce as
against 6.25 in 1927. The District of
Columbia and New York State, each
having but one cause for absolute
divorce, reported 52.5 and ZIG re-
spectively, while the rates in the
other States ranged from IA mar
riages to each divorce in Georgia to
1.6 marriages to each divorce in Ne
vada.
The changes in the various States
as regards the number of divorces
compared with the year 1927, ranged
from decreases of 30.S per cent in
the District of Columbia and 1873 per
cent in Florida to increase of 32.9
per cent in Nevada and 54.1 per cent
in Vermont.
