Ass’n., Answers Ques. MEETING IN MAGIC: CITY) Undertaker’s © Thouzhtfuiness | and Help Includes Looking After Publicity | Minot, N. D., Feb. 16—The funeral) director can be of especial service both | to the newspapers and friends of de-| ceased persons, by completing an ac- curate record of the facts in the life of the deceased persons and making these facts available to the newspa- pers, Carl W. Mason, editor of the Mi- not Daily News, told the seventeenth annual convention of the North Dakota Funeral Directors Association here yesterday. = bi “The undertaker and funeral direc tthe best, with those who are contribut- toy encounters no greater problem in} his work” said Mr. Mason, “than deal- | ‘ing with the sensitiveness of grief | stricken relatives and friends of a deceased person, And in no way is that sensitiveness more acutely mani- fested, perhaps, than in connection with publicity regarding a death or a funeral. The average person wish- es to receive newspaper notice when- ever occasion offers if that publicity is proper and pleasing. But’ so fre- quently items are incomplete or do not give the facts that many persons oppose any publicity of their’ bereave- ment, except perhaps the barest no- tice, because they fear confused or garbled statements which serve to only intensify their grief. Both Are to Blame “The blame for these distorted items lies with both the undertaker and the newspaper. The former fre- quently does not take the pains and ‘time to ascertain the facts and give ‘them to the reporter, feeling oft-times that it is no obligation or interest of his. Thus, the newspaper man is left with incomplete facts, and, when the patrons have left the undertaking es- tablishment, is often unable to obtain the needed information. The result is a poor account of the death and every body is annoyed. The newspapers are anxious in general, outside the larger cities, to publish ‘full information re- garding deaths and funerals. Some newspapers make a specialty of obit- uary items and develop that class of news extensively. Their problem is merely to get the facts accurately, Obituary Accounts if “In these obituary accounts the un- dertaker has a form of advertising for his business that is very valuable to him and which is strictly ethical. jEven if his name is not mentioned in the item the public usually knows who is in charge. The funeral director, anxious td serve his patrons, can do so very acceptably by relieving. them, among other things, of the often pain- ful interviews with the reporters. He | must obtain some facts and can easily | secure them all if he will take a very little more trouble. He can obtain a supply of blanks containing ques- tions that will bring out all needed facts regarding the deceased person) and can quickly fill in the answers, and later turn them over to the re- porters. Thus the grieving family is AND NEWSPAPERS? ; sion the highest ideals of manhood | |and citizenship. Such a man sees in| his daily task something more than; gruesome details and stereotyped ac-) tions of business, He realizes the im-} | portance and value of his calling, that | [his place is not one whit behind the choir that sings, the clergyman who | officiates or the attorney who settles | | the estate. His mission is, in the final | j analysis, to lessen grief, support) those who are stricken with sorrow, | brighten darkened homes, encourage | and arouse neW hope and dispense an atmosphere of kindly helpfulness and sympathy that will extend in broaden- | ing waves of comfort and cheer the; years of the future. With tender hands; he may strew the-flowers of kindli-/ ness over the bitter’ places in the crises of many lives as truly as he scatters the fragrant blossoms over the mound of earth beside the open; grave in the cemetery to hide its ugli- ness. The funeral director who can con- ceive such an ideal and make it real | in the practice of his profession will) be its leader, and which is more, will} e a citizen who can take rank with ing to the progress and the uplift of the world.” ANARCHISTS NOT WANTED _ IN ‘SWEDEN But To What Country Can They Be Deported? Nobody Wants Them RELATIVES EXECUTED Stockholm, Feb. 16.—Sweden is fac- ng a curious dilemma as the result of her well-meant hospitality in granting! temporary asylum to Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman and Alexander) Shapiro, formerly deported to Russia from the United States. \ Since this | trio arrived, several other Russian anarchists have come into the coun- try, e ‘As matters stand at present Sweden may either have to deport the anar- chists or cope with a movement, said to be on foot, of making Stockholm an/ international anarchist central. But to what: country can these an- archists be deported? Nobody wants them. Since their arrival in Stock- holm, Emma Goldman and other an- archists from Russia have so roundly | denounced the Soviet government that | if they are returned thither, the Bol-| shevik authorities, never noted for their leniency, may send them all to| jail or deal with them in a more sum- mary fashion. : ‘ Germany has already put up the! pars against these agitators as was! shown recently when Miss Goldman tried to enter Germany for the pur- pose of attending the international an- archist congress in Berlin. Freund, Austria’s representative to this con- clave, was arrested on the border by the German police, ‘Now the Stockholm press states that! spared an ordeal that so many dread, | the news is secured and the undertak- | er has given his patrons one added} reason to thank him and depeng upon | him. He-ought not to be told to ap-; preciate the value of such a condition. | “The funeral director who looks | most carefully and kindly after the | feelings as well as the interests of} a resolution was adopted at the Berlin | anarchist congress to establish an in- ternational anarchist bureau in the, Swedish capital, presumably because | Stockholm is now the temporary abid- | ing place of so many leading anarch- ist lights.

I have noted! in cities in which this work was per-| formed almost entirely by the funeral directors, had become a regular sys- tem and the public depended almost without exception upon the funeral directors to see that proper informa- ‘tion was given the newspapers, as much as to provide the casket and the hearse. Is Another Side “There is also another side to the matter apart from the strictly busi- ness consideration. There is much in both the newspaper business and that of the funeral director which is un- pleasant and painful. Such work must be done, of course, but much de- pends upon the sense of calling and the spirit in which these tasks are performed. ‘The funeral director is; first a man and a citizen and he who: is chief among you is the one who carries into his business and profes- “GetsIt” Removes Corns Quick No matter how tough or how stubborn it may have been, the corn or callus that is touched with a few drops of “Gets-It” 7 isdoomed toa quick, easy, sure and pain- Jess end.

Mrs. McDon- ald died Sunday night of a general de- bility incident to old age. R Her whole life was the life of a pioneer. Born in Ireland in 1842 she] immigrated to Canada with’ her par-/ ents where she lived for a.few years, going then to Wisconsin and later to Faribault, (Minn, She experienced all | the thrills and horrors of the uprising | of the Sisseton and Wahpeton Indi- ans in the historic massacre of 1862 and the attendant panic among the settlers, In 1865 she was married to John McDonald, who, born at Williamsburg, New York, August 20, 1839, had trav- eled by stage and the Great Lakes and across country to Faribault where he helped clear*the first farm land in Rice county. In 1872 Mr. and Mrs. McDonald came west to the village of | Burleigh, then located on the site of | the present city of Bismarck. There were a few scattered tent dwellings | but Mrs. McDonald was the only. wo- | man of the colony. When first she came to this section the only sign of | white habitation was Fort McKean. four. miles from the present city of | Mandan, occupied by a small com- | mand of troops who were in continual | skirmish with the marauding bands of Sioux. It was in the fall of 1879 that Mr. and Mrs, McDonald located a tree | claim about four miles south of the | city, erected a log cabin and the fol- \ lowing spring commenced breaking up_land and actual farming.

This striking example of the disproportion between wages and the cost of living in the Russian capital is disclosed. in \a report just made by a special com- missionesent to Russia by the Health Committee of the League of Nations. The commission says that a cake of soap in Moscow cost’ 8,500. rubles, while nursss in the city hospital were paid only 5,000 rubles a month and that-they had to be content with very scanty food. , The poverty and misery that pre- vailed in Rusgia as seen in the hos- pitals which the Commission, visited made a deep impression upon the. mem- bers. Nevertheless,. the Commission stated, there is a high state of effi- ciency in the municipal hospital and | the Commission emphasized the spir- it of si fice displayed by those en- trusted with ministering to the health ef the Russian people, especially of the children. 5 RECALL IMPENDS, Dickinson, N..D., Feb. 16.—A recall election impends here, as the result of the circulation during the last few 's of petitions demanding the recall of all present city officials cf.
