Benton, and he performed the ceremony. Bride and groom took up their living quarters, for the moment, in the Clendenin home. It happens, however, that William- son county has an alert woman as probation officer—Mrs. Hester Yuill of Herrin. Mrs. Yuill heard rumors of the wedding and went to the Clen- denin home to investigate. One look at Sarilda convinced her that the girl was far below the legal age limit of 16, and the Rev. Benton was hurried way. , The six men left and the crowd Northcott will be sentenced to death today as the result of his con- Viction last week. LIONS PUTTING ON” + THEIR FOLLIES AT 9 Something in Minstrel Order to Mark Ladies’ Night at Elks Hall This Evening Two administration measures drew fire in the house of representatives Saturday, one a bill for a state gov- ernment survey commission and the other for a bureau of criminal appre- hension and identification. Albert Van Berkom, Burke county, opened the attack on both measures, declaring that they called for added expense to the taxpayer. Both were considered in the committee of the whole and were recommended for passage. “We don't need to hire a commis- sion to go into all parts of the state to investigate affairs of townships,” Van Berkom asserted. “The town- ships are getting along all right now.” “This governmental survey commis- sion is a plan to save money for the state,” L. L. Twichell, Cass county, re- plied. “The commission will draw a comprehensive plan of the state gov- ernment and make recommendations for large savings annually.” “There are too many commissions now,” Van Berkom retorted. - He raised the same issue about the bill for a criminal bureau. “It’s an- other chance to spend money,” he said. “We had the same bill two years ago with a requested appropri- ation of $50,000 instead of $30,000 as Sarilda is back home with her par- ents now, the preacher is in jail and the marriage has been ruled out. But the story of how it all happened—how it began and how it was ended—is Just beginning to come out. ‘The Rev. Benton came to Illinois some months ago from Missouri. He was an exhorter in the Pentecostal, or Holiness, church, but he came to Her- rin to answer a matrimonial ad, seek- ing the hand of 23-year-old Lora Clendenin, Sarilda’s elder sister. When he got. here, however, he found that another man had an- swered the ad ahead of him. Edward Hayes, nicknamed “Pinky,” had made Lora his bride. Undismayed, the blind pastor settled down here and began to preach to members of the Holiness sect. He became popular with them, A show brimful of fun will mark ‘the ladies’ night’ of the Lions club at the Elks hall, this evening.

Morton Farmers See Selected Seed, Hear Talks on Dockage The necessity of North Dakota farmers using purer and cleaner seed was impressed on them at a meeting at the Farmers State bank rooms in Mandan Saturday afternoon, when ex- Perts presented various phases of the dockage problem to the farmers at- tending the Greater North Dakota association pure seed school. M. J. Johnson, Minneapolis, expert of the federal grain commission, spoke on grain grading and losses sus- tained when farmers neglect that. B. Aamodt, Bottineau, stressed seed: plots and the possibility of rais- the price of Dakota wheat by ising cleaner seed. F. R. Cook, Slope county farmer, warned against high- priced but unproved seed varieties. Edgar F. Olsen, manager of the Grimm Alfalfa association, spoke on the alfalfa seed situation. » Charts and samples of grain were used to illustrate the talks, the asso- ciation having samples on hand to show farmers the kind of seed which it is offering to supply.

It is not. Full authority is not vested in one man,” declared the senator. Governor, Auditor Members The governor and state auditor un- der the Bonzer bill are members of the commission. All contracts award- ed and all purchases made are sub- ject to their approval. “The change is,” said Senator Bon- zer, “in the eradication of various department heads who are, under the present system, an absolute law unto themselves. One man, to be called ‘commissioner of highways’ under the proposed system, would bring full authority into one office. It would make one man responsible to the commission. ‘The bill provides that the commis- sioner shall have full control, man- age, supervise, administrate and di- rect the state highway department. Is Business ition “No big business in the United States today is run with a score of executive heads. One man is respon- sible to his board of directors. In the same way, North Dakota's big- gest business should have one respon- sible man at the head of it,” the sen- ator explained. ‘The Bonzer bill provides for a full- time commissioner to work at a salary of $5,000 a year. “Under the present system, the commission meets only 26 days of the year. In 1928 the highway commis- sion meeting only 26 days cost the department exchequer $5,811.20. The saving under the proposed plan is obvious.” Fort Abercrombie Is Lost by Bill Killing Indefinite postponement of a bill to appropriate $2,500 for rebuilding and repairing structures in the Fort Aber- crombie park, Richland county, was recommended by the house appropria- tions committee today.

Six pairs of bright eyes and rosy cheeks greeted Mrs. Secor of Scit- uate, Mass., when she returned home from a shopping tour today.

Following is her letter: | “I keep my six children healthy by using FATHER JOHN’S MEDICINE. I have given it to all the children and it helps to keep them free from colds and builds them up.
