NATTY YOUTH PROVES GIRL ‘Bob Watson,’ Erstwhile Man- dan Hotel Clerk, Is Really Mrs. @ A. Halling Bob Watson, 22, hotel ¢lérk, pick und shovel cement worker, swain of local young ladies, former » miner, rodeo rider, today joined her husband, Glen A. Halling, on a farm near Price, N. D. Her masquerade, loeally, as a young man came to an end after more than a year's resi- dence here when Chiefs of Police Nels H. Romer of Mandan and Chris Martineson of Bismarck called in a Red Cross nurse and others at Bis- marck last evening to settle their suspicions on the matter of sex. “Bob” had cashed a check on a Mandan bank with a Bismarck grocer. Funds were insufficient and “Bob” was arrested but released on making good the amount and payment of a fine when arraigned before Justice K. H. Crane, Clothes Cost Less “Why, [D've been wearing men’s clothes and working as a man for years. Men’s clothes cost a lot less than girls’ clothes and besides, pos- ing as a man, I could travel with my husband and get jobs along with him,” she told Chief of Police Rom- er, In September, 1925, “Bob” secured a job as night clerk at the Nigey ho- tel here, holding it for six months. She, rather he, had a high voice but xot by. She rustled huge chunks of ice, and did a man’s work. A row over a telephone bill ended the job. Then “Bob” got a place with a gang of laborers tearing out old cement sidewalks and paving at the Mandan federal building. But hustling heavy | © wheelbarrow loads of refuse proved too much for her.; “My name was Dorothy Fost s old. I was born and ra at Townsend, Montana, and was m ried at Anaconda, Montana, in 1923 to Glen A. Halling. Glen and 1 work- ed together in the copper mines at Butte and Anaconda. Sure, I’ve been wearing men’s clothes ever since I was a little girl, I like 'em,” she told the police, Wins Many Prizes And then she exhibited. clippings telling of prizes won riding the buck- ing horses and steers. at rodeos in Butte and Anaconda. Pictures of the “boy wonder” gvere carried by the papers of the two cities. Her mas- ouerade was. perfect. But now Dorothy has gone to join her husband. who is working the Wetzstein Brothers farm, near Price, on shares, Between jobs in Mandan, between dances and her masquerade, she has cooked for him and helped him with farm work. But she isn’t keen on farm life. "ve had a lot of fun out of life anyway,” she said.

Dee, 8--®) North Dakota needs help and gduen- tion, not knocks and indifference, A. R. Kroh of The Minneapolis Tribune told the Exchange club at its luncheon meeting in the Leamington hotel. The state has made constructive progress with the help that has been given along lines of crop rotation and diversified farming, and is. already beginning to pocket, profits earned from the intelligen€ use of alfalfa, more pigs and chickens and sheep and )more good cows, Mr. Kroh He urged that the business men of the club send out a missionary com- mittee made up of men with a con- scientious desire to learn what con- ditions are and the ability to give ad: vice on business-like means of cot in the intrinsle worth of the state is needed. There’s noth- ing like confidenre to build up a sick mentality. North Dakota’s soil has been assayed at $75 an acre just for its lime content, and lime is absolute- ly essential in growing al: consin farmers have spent $14 an ‘acre just to build up the lime in their. soil for this crop. . ‘The state is 1,500 miles from the eastern markets, byt the farmers are learning to manufacture and ship concentrates rather than raw pro- ducts, by converting their coarse Lerops and alfalfa into butter, meat, demanding to learn, how the average hen can be made to lay 134 eggs a instead of the present average of’84;. how a pig can put on 171 pounds of weight instead of 75) pounds in six months, and how dairy cows be developed from scrub in- | stock that they will produce 275 to 600 pounds of butter fat annually instead of the present 142 pounds, “You can’t expect any big business trom North Dakota for five years, be- dat DelMonte, | ndal that) Begum, ! | Biue he the ox-| potentate traveling under the mame | !* Exports to States; 3 Ine." a} Host i Street Dep to N.
