At Dog Branch

The second annual meeting of
the Dog Branch Community Asso-
citation convened in the Primitive
Baptist Church at that place last
Sunday. More than two hundred
people were present in commu-
nifty get-together that lasted from
eleven in the morning until three
in the afternoon.
The stragglers an d loiterers
were called into the church house
by the singing of old Baptist

sounded, the house was filled.

andand to keep alive wholesome
attitudes in the community" And
again the speaker declared, "It is
well for us all to get together and
sing the same tune. Mr.. Deel said

He stressed the purpose of the
school and the home as character
molding influences.
The next speaker, E. J. Suther-
land, spoke on the subject "This
Changing World. He pictured the
changes that have come over Dick

and pointed out physical changes
to be seen. This is changing
world, the speaker declared, but
there is the strength of the human
spirit to guide that change within
the proper channels. Instead of
being swept away by the changes
that have to come, we should DOM
mate those changes for the better
ment of humanity.
After a very brief talk by the
presiding officer, the meeting re-

Supervisors Hold
Busy Session

Roads, coons, and schools came
before the Board of Supervisors
by proxy at the August meeting
last Monday. And while these in
terests Jared well, there was evil
dent a determination to econo-
mize and leave something in the
county purse when taxes come
rolling in next fall
The new highway engineer, Mr..
Munsey, appeared before tn e
Board to discuss road problems
and by his bearing and under
standing made a pleasant impress
sion. The road from Haysi to
Splashdam was discussed and it
appeared certain that it would be
completed within the year. Eight
tenths of mile remains to be
built on this road, and 100000
is available. The Board entered
an order to the effect that if ad-
ditional secondary road funds be-
came available tn e Splashdam
road should benefit.
A settlement for right of way
on the Coon Branch road was
made, with Franks Brothers re-
ceiving $500 and Sam Kiser re-
ceiving S275.00. A compromise
was made with Charlie Reed over
alleged damages to his property in
the building of the road up Pound
River. Reed got $4,000 for hav-
ing small road which ran
through his property blocked at
one end.
The Tycoon of the Coon Club
appeared, fianked by an array of
coon enthusiasts, and secured an
appropriation of $4,000 for the
purchase of more coons to stock
the mountains of Dickinson Coun-
| ty.
After some discussion, h
Board agreed by vote of three
to two to appropriate the sum of
$945.00 to pay an additional
teacher at Ervinton High School.
Superintendent Sutherland indicat--
ed that there might be need of
a supplement to the school fund
for the purchase of school books
for indigents. He and the Board
members decided that this was a
problem that might be solved by
action of the local communities.
A supplementary budget for
Aid to the Blind was approved,
involving an appropriation o +
$500 from the county funds. It
was understood that with Federal
and State Contributions this would
release $288.0O more for relief to
the blind during the fiscal year.

POSSIBLE BY WORK,
ROCK DONATIONS

Morton December 10 will be
a doubly important day in the
history of the Zion Lutheran
church here which will observe

to make the great saving possible.
The large church, SO by 35 feet,
occupies the lot of its predecessor,
vantage point from which it
reems to preside over the neigh
oorhood and impresses all who
pass nearby.
The work of removing the old
building, excavating for the full
basement and laying the founda-
ion-in fact all the construction
work up to the sub-floor except
he building of forms-was dom
ated. Using the r. F. Byram and
sons (Redwood Falls) mixer, the
congregation ran 494 sacks of
cement July 26, the hottest day
If the summer.
In a granite industry commun-
ty, the church is appropriately
# granite, the stone donated by
August and Henry Fink who also
ut the pieces and supervised
heir laying, which was doCe by
lay labor. Chairman of the build
ng committee was William
Fheusch, a carpenter, who also
vas building foreman so the con-
gregation was extremely FORUM
te in its membership.
The cornerstone was laid Aug
st II and work has progressed
teadily to completion. The build
G has an asbestos roof, tile floor,
:opper flashing and other features
making for unusual permanence.

u. of IA. Freshman President
Huzed for Rat Rule Editorial

"Frosh" President AL Ruppers-
berger's editorial against rat rule"
at the University of Maryland
brought results almost Immediately.
The young Baltimorean was elect
ed on Monday He wrote a piece
for The Diamond Back, which came
out yesterday, creating a campus
sensation.
A former president of the fresh
men read the statement and ex-
claimed:
"Ruppersberger, you're k-razy!"
Ruppersberger had said, in part,
that from now on the freshmen
will do away with all freshmen rules
except the hello habit
The frosh have what it takes
to combat the sophs by every means
possible = -
Last night, somewhere in Mary
land, delegation of upper classmen
called on Ruppersberger. They had
clippers and safety razor The
new president of the freshmen class
lost the hair on his head with the
exception of scalp lock.
His editorial, it seems, had revived
an ancient campus custom allowed
to fall into disuse in recent years,
along with other rat rules"
The Sophs took particular excep-
tion to one line in Ruppersberger's s
declaration-"the old rules are null
and void"
Maybe they're NULL" said Soph,
''but they're not void!
The Frosh are going to see about
that tomorrow night, at pep rally
called by their new president before
he lost his hair.

Hurricane Swings Vessel
200 Miles OFF Course

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Oct. 18
P).-The Puerto Rico Line steamer
Borinquen limped into port last night
from New York more than 36 hours
late after weathering a tropical hur-
ricane which blew up to $50 miles
an hour and endangered the ship
for nearly 48 hours. She was carried
200 miles off her course.
Capt. Thomas Evans said it was
as bad storm as he had ever en-
countered. For a half-hour during
the height of the storm, the steering
gear failed to work.
The storm struck Saturday night
and ragged until Monday morning.
The ships doctor, F. c. Deven-
dorf, treated many passengers for
slight injuries. No one was seriously
hurt.
Some of the passengers were
flooded out and were forced to camp
for the remainder of the voyage in
the ships music room.
