He said he believed up until the time the Vestris sank that she would float for hours, and expressed the opinion that the captain shared this belief. All the information the captain had from Chief Engineer Adams, he said, was “reassuring”, j the engineer reporting that his ef- forts to pump out the water in the bilges apparently was succeeding. Down With Captain The second officer, Leslie Watson, told a dramatic story of the last 24 hours aboard the doomed vessel; how he and the captain superintended the lowering of the lifeboats and then when the vessel sank, went down together. Watson said he had a grip on the captain when they sank but that they were torn apart and after December 1. rth Dakota s, the highest since Cattle supplies fe: November have been small and will remain so during December.

Many Will Travel to Mardi Gras Fetes in South During Winter « Southward to Mardi Gras celebra- tions will be a travel trend this winter. Residents of Minnesota, Wiscon- sin, North Dakota and Montana will be afforded inducements to attend these celebrations at New Orleans, Biloxi, Gulfport and Pass Christian February 7 to 12, and at Mobile February 8 to 12. E. E. Nelson, passenger traffic manager of the Northern Pacific railway, today announced a special rate of a fare and one-half for the round trip, which will apply from all points in the four states. In Wisconsin these low fares will be available February 4 to 10, and in Minnesota, North Dakota and Mon- tana February 3 to 9. A provision is that, returning, the original start- ing point must be reached-not later than midnight of February 19, al- though the return limit may be ex- tended to March 6 by depositing the ticket with the joint agent at des- tination and payment of a nominal sum. Indications are that more mid- dle west and northwest persons will attend these southern events this year, Mr. Nelson said. District Court Meets -Hazen, N. D., Nov. 28.—Judge =_-Frank T.

A century ago there was no such thing as an established public school system, The father who wanted his children to have even a decent gram- ar school education had to pay for it—and pay pretty well—out of his own pocket. If he could not afford to, the children were out of luck. In Rhode Island, where hundreds of little children worked for 12 hours a day in the textile mills, the very idea of free public schools was de- nounced as monstrous. Other sec- tions of New England, and most of the rest of the north, were more liberal. They had the famous “rate bill” system; a system that needs a bit of explanation. * _ FRIDAY: Williams has the American J. er; Dahl, * Under the rate bill, elementary schools were established by towns expenses among the parents, in pro- portion to the number of children each had in school. Those were the days when a week- ly wage of $9 was very, very good pay for a workingman—and when, Jac Horace Greeley showed, a family of father, mother and three children could barely get the plain necessities of life for any less than that. Under such circhmstances, the moderate ex- pense entailed by the rate bill was enough to bar thousands of children from school entirely. Pennsylvania, also, was backward in the field of education. It had some free school;,.but the.law pro- vided that a man who wished to enter his child in one of them must declare himself a ?, prove it in he term: George e Pulles, Stanton; ibert, Arthur Link, Jacob Krause, 51 Tokheim, Hazen; P.

NOISY SALUTE | President-Elect Irons Out Af- ter Election Bitterness in Nicaragua Turbulent Republic Leaders Want American Marines to Remain on Job Punta, Arenas, Costa Rica, Nov. 28. —— (#) — Herbert Hoover, presi- dent-clect of the United States, was given a noisy welcome when he landed here at 8:30 a. m. today on his good-will mission. Shore bat- teries exchanged salutes with the U. S. S. Maryland which had anch- ored half an hour earlier in the roadstead. Ships in the harbor, including the British vessel Salvador, were decor- ated with flags. A large crowd, held back by militia, was on the wharf and quays and the native po-, lice band played as the visitors came ashore.

He seems not only to be creating good-will toward the Unit- ed States but to be exercising a benign influence on Central Ameri- can politics, where more or less bit- terness has prevailed before and after elections.

Sens¢ ing the situation, Mr. Hoover asked that Dr. Colindres be invited. This was done and apparently it meant the beginning of the healing of a Honduran political breach. “The important thing,” Mr. Hoov- er said in speaking of, Honduran af- fairs, “is that leader§ of the con- servative congress chosen along with the president agree not to op- fe his confirmation.

A gear pump in the bottons of the oil pan raises the oil to the valve chamber reservoir. From here it flows on to the main crank- shaft bearings and the front cam- ehaft bearing.
