Admiral Byrd is Idol
Of Young America
Radio Broadcast Brought 100000
Requests for a Booklet Describ-
ing His Expedition

One of the most remarkably tri-
butes that have been paid to Rear
Admiral Byrd and his party of
Antarctic explorers since their re-
turn came in New York recently
after the Admiral and his compan-
ions had taken part in the BYRD
Comes Home" radio hour, sponsor
ed by the Tide Water Oil Com
pany, whose products were used by
the Byrd Expedition.
During the course of this radio
program booklet, prepared by the
sponsors of the hour and describ-
ing the history of the Byrd expedi-
ton was offered free to the young
people of the United States and
Canada. A lively response was an
ticipated, but the expectations of
both the Admiral and the Tide Wat
er Oil Company were greatly ex-
ceeded when a flood of 100000 indi-
vidual letters and kilograms poured
in from every corner of the CONT
nent asking for this free booklet,
Highlights of the Byrd Expedi-
tion," Many more more quantity
requests were received from
schools, colleges and clubs.
Perhaps even the gallant Admiral
himself had not appreciated the re-
markable degree to which he has
become the idol of young America,
or how many millions of eager
young ears were attuned to radio
sets when he and several Of his
companions described the most
thrilling incidents of their great
adventure in this radio hour Of
welcome.
In addition to Admiral Byrd.
Harold I. June Sipel, and others of
the Byrd party, the speakers in this
radio festival sponsored by the Tide
Water Associated Oil Company,
were Mayor Walker, of New York,
and assistant Secretary of the
Navy, Jahncke.

n. M. WeIIes Back Into
Newspaper For a Day
Comes Out of Seclusion to Take
Charge of Fairmont Sentinel
Editorial Page

On Saturday last, Major Nelson
turned the editorial page of the
Fairmont Sentinel over to A. M.
Welles, retired publisher of the
Worthington Globe, now II years
old, who was visiting in Fairmont
After modesty paying a fine tribute
to the worth and ability of the past
and present editors of the Sentinel
Bro. Welles turned out several col.
umns of worthwhile comment on
current topics, including some I'M
vanished truths about men promi-
nent in public life. Below are few
samples from an interesting column
of short squibs:
"The advent of Stafford King
into politics isn't going to hurt
Minnesota. He's go-getter, a
straight shooter, built much on
the same lines as Ray Chase.
They're both good men to tie
to.
when high class man like
Ray Chase and an unspeakable
like Tom Schall each poll over
10000 plurality in the same
election, there's something
wrong with the body public. Or
is it the primary election law?
"The Prince of Wales is
quoted as saying that when a
man gets too old to play golf
he better die. Maybe so, but a
lot of old fellows who never
have played golf can ride horse
back and stay on, and that's
more than His Royal Giblets
can do.
Educational experts from all
over the country are going into
four-day huddle at the Min
nesota State University next
week to discuss matters of
government. Wonder if they can
devise any practical improve
ment on the primary election
law, or prescribe any remedy
for scurility in a political COM
paign."

Auto Crash Kills One
and Injuries Several
Shocking Casualty Occurred at
Night on Highway No. GA, Near
Fergus Falls

One of the worst automobile col
lisions that this neighborhood has
yet had occurred late Thursday
night at the junction of a crossroad
and highway No. Ga between Roth
say and Carlisle. A big car from
Fargo containing Mr.. and Mrs. Sol
berg, of Mohal N. D., Mrs. MaySe-
berg, Evelyn Soberg and Bob Thor
son, of Fargo, and Miss Elaine
Lund, of Mohall, drove into the car
coming on the side road containing
Carl Borvig, a well known farmer,
of Trondhjem township with his
three daughters and two nieces. Mr..
Solberg saw the Borvig car coming
along the side road with lights, but
supposed it would slow down and
let him pass. His party was on
the way to Chicago. His car
struck the Rorvig model T Ford
sedan, wrecking it completely and
throwing the six occupants out.
The five girls were Gladys, Lillian
and Stella Rorvig and Fern and
Stella Huseby, their cousins who
live in Pelican Rapids. They were
all hurt, and Mr.. Rorvig died from
his injuries about two hours after
he reached the hospital, never re-
covering consciousness.
Passing motorists carried the in
jured from both cars to the two
Fergus hospitals Mrs. May Sol
berg, of Fargo, and her daughter
in-law, Mrs. o. G. Solberg, Of Mo-
hall were badly gashed and bruis-
ed, but will recover. Their party
was making a night drive from
Fargo to Minneapolis to avoid the
heavy traffic of the highways
The accident took place near
midnight. Mr.. Rorvig was on his
way home. He is survived by three
daughters and two sons, Alvin, who
is in the bank at Rothsay and Har-
ry, who works in the Farmers
store at that place. The three
daughters are II, Is and 13 years
old. Their mother died about
year ago. Stella Huseby is Is years
old and her sister Fern is 10. They
were both bruised and cut about
the head and were in the hospital.
They went home Monday. The
three Rorvig girls were more or
less badly injured in about the
same way, and all are recovering.

Many business men need the Aashllght
of analysis to uncover the hobgoblins
In their business and then they might
sit back and laugh at their rivals who

At this time, when business and

to have a clear vision ahead, It Is espe-
cially important that the power Of re-
search and analysis be employed to
their fullest extent. When these twin
