OF WHICH I AM MOST PROUD ‘When Mrs. Hilma N. Harris of Hettinger, N. D., was elected commander of the Johnson-Melary post, No. 115, of the American Legion, scores of friends throughout the state knew that she had won the recognition not just because of the fact that she was a World War veteran, but also because she thas proved herself an able executive in her home, hospital, church and clubs. ‘ Mrs. Harris has been actively iden- tified with northwest life since first she saw the light of day at River Falls, Wis., on Feb. 28, 1878. She was bap- tized Hilma Nelson. Raised on a farm, she received her first education in a rural school, taking her high school and college work at River Falls Normal school. One year’s teaching in a rural school made her determined to seek broader horizons. She entered the Asbury hos- pital training school for nurses at Min- neapolis in 1900 and was graduated she was appointed the first director of Wisconsin's first sanitorium for tuber- during the summer of 1904. Followed then 15 years of private nursing in Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. She managed to find time to satisfy her pioneering instincts by filing on a homestead in Adams county in 1909, a claim she proved up on. In October, 1918, at the height of the ‘World War, she entered the service of hher country as Red Cross nurse. Stationed at Camp Custer from October unti! March, 1919, she was then transferred to Fort Porter, Buffalo, N. Y., serving there until her honorable discharge in August, 1919. With her educational bonus, Mrs. Harris took a short course in public health nursing with the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis association, upon com- pletion of which she held the position of city and school nurse at Stevens Point, Wis., for eight months. In 1920 she married T. S. Harris of Hettinger and has since perma- uently resided in southwestern North Dakota. . Mrs, Harris has been active in Lutheran church work, with her stud: club, in Legion auxiliary activities and the Eastern Star, in all of which she has occupied positions of trust. For four years, Mrs, Harris was the conservation chairman of the sev- enth district, North Dakota Federation of Women’s clubs. At the present time she holds a state chairmanship in the Lutheran missionary society. ‘When seeking relaxation and surcease from the daily duties, Mrs. Harris urns to writing poetry as an outlet. She is one who is listed in “Who's Who Among North Dakota Writers.” In 1927 she published a collection of her poems entitled, “From the Buttes of the Dakotas.” Mrs, Harris has been an active Legionnaire since 1920 at Hettinger. She has served as post chaplain, secretary and vice commander. She also served the auxiliary as president. She is the first woman ever to hold the commandership of an American Legion post and probably the first in the nation. ‘While Mrs. Harris derives satisfaction from the public service she has given, she is most proud, however, of the fact that Mr. Harris praises her as 8 good cook and homemaker. Other officers of the Hettinger post are Gilman Leer, vice commander; £. J. Knutson, finance officer; James Hallen, adjutant; Dr. W. D. Odou, his- torian; Frank Peterson, chaplain; C. J. Namtvdet, sergeant-at-arms, one SEMI-CENTENNIAL Pioneer Methodists of south central North Dakota this month join in congratulating Rev. and Mrs. S. A. Danford of Eugene, Ore., on the 50th anniversary of their marriage and on the 50th anniversary of Rev. Dan- ford’s service in the ministry. Rev. Danford was licensed to preach a half century ago in Lisbon, N. D., and for many years served as a circuit rider in the Forman-Milnor country. He gained wide acclaim in the northwest as an outstanding evangelist, *#e MRS. HARRIS TLL WALK, THANK YOU Chris Stang, resident of the Wolf Butte community down in southwest- ern North Dakota, thinks there may be something to aviation enthusiasts’ claims that flying is the safest means of transportation. Chris mounted one of his gentler horses not long ago, headed for the range. But the horse was obstreperous that day, threw his rider. Stang went to bed with a wrenched hip and severe bruises. When Chris had recovered, he got out the family car for a trip to Reeder. On his way to town, a tire blew out, propelled the car into a ditch. Chris crawled out unhurt this eT ate OIL YOUR GUN, MR. WHITE And from the same country comes a story that makes a true sportsman froth at the mouth. For two years, Porter White of the Slim Buttes area has fed and cared for a buck antelope. ‘The most graceful of plains creatures became so tame it continually hung around the White home. A few days ago, the animal could not resist its natural instinct of joining some of its brothers for a few days’ vacation among the buttes. It returned a few days later, obviously in distress. Despite White’s min- istrations, the pet died. It had been shot . TWINS TWINNED Paul Loffelmacher of Fryburg knows something of the reactions of Oliva Dionne to multiple births. Mr. and Mrs. Loffelmacher are parents of twin boys born at the E. M. McAdams home in Belfield. They have another pair of twin boys, 7 years old. see A MAN AND HIS FRIEND 2 John Doolittle creates no little wonderment in the Omio district of Em- mons county. Doolittle is blind. But recently he hitch-hiked 200 miles from a town in Montana to Emmons county with only a faithful dog as a guide. The dog has only to be shown once what is expected of him. Taken over a certain path and instructed by gentle tugs on the leash which direction he is expected to turn, the dog will go over the route a second time with no tugs needed. ene SOME MORE BLACK WIDOWS Black widow spiders, those venomous insects that have caused death in the southwestern United States, seem to have decided that North Dakota is # natural habitat. Miss Ida Smith, teacher of Black Butte school west of Bowman, discov- ered a nest of them near the school. She “pickled” three full-grown spiders in alcohol, killed 200 baby spiders and exterminated hundreds of eggs. And down in Fort Yates, all the householders have staged a spider hunt in their homes since Noralf esse disorsred six of them in his basement. QUEEN-ELECT ‘When football fans purchase their tickets for the Bismarck-Minot foot- ball game to be played here Friday night, Nov. 1, attached they will find a stub ballot which should be cast for one of the five candidates for Queen of the Homecoming. Dark-eyed and vivacious, Lydia Langer, one of the five candidates for Homecoming queen of Bismarck high school, has been popular with her classmates since she began her student career in Bismarck. A sophomore, she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ‘William Langer, 114 Avenue A, west. Miss Langer’s dancing in the junior high school operettas of a few years ago and in “Melinka of Astrakhan” curing her freshman year disclosed an unusual talent in that art and added appreciably to the effectiveness of the performances. This versatile miss not only dances and sings well. Her hobby is art, and she perhaps comes by her skill in that line from her maternal grandfather, who was a noted architect.

C. Hauser, FERA state administrator. During this period a total of $15,- 606,891.04 was granted in both direct and work relief of which $11,715,903.29 was worked out by Aug. 31, 1935. Hau- ser explained that direct relief is re- lief granted in emergencies for which no work is required. When a direct relief account is later worked out, it becomes past work relief. He further explained that six coun- ties showed more than 100 per cent records because figures on past work relief were not kept until May, 1934, | and may include direct relief granted prior to that time. Heading the list of those six coun- tles working out more than 100 per cent is Hettinger whose clients re- ceived a total of $174,735.92, but have worked for $199,985.49 worth of relief during this period.

Peters ‘first gained: recognition as ® high school student when he was judged: the best boy actor in state- wide competition. Later he studied dramatics in New York City at the American Academy of Dramatics. on Broadway While playing: on -the professional stage in the east, he appeared in such plays as “Once in a Life Time,” “The Royal Family,” “Two Seconds,” “Death Takes a Holiday,” “Let Us Be Gay” and “Lysistrata,” playing with such actors and actresses as Gene Ar- thur, ‘Preston Foster, Ed. Rawley, Pa- tricia Alice, Henrietta Crosman and William ‘Herrigan, all of whom now are appearing in moving pictures. To date he has appeared in nearly 200 performances, amateur and profes- sional, as well as having directed a number of presentations of the local up. In the play “Tons of Money” Peters is offered the opportunity of showing his versatility as.an actor and also, his exceptional skill in make-up as the character of Aubrey Allington re- quires six complete costume changes, five make-up changes, and three dis- tinct characterizations, since, during the complications of the piece, the character of Aubrey is called upon to pose as two other individuals.

LABOR CHIEFS SWING FISTS IN CONVENTION Lewis and Hutcheson Battle as Sequel to Crafts-Union Scrap Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 19—(P)—A brief riot in the American Federation of Labor convention Saturday was quickly quelled by disinterested par- ties to the dispute. It started when John N. Lewis, pres- chief of the Industrial Union faction in the federation, and William Hutch- eson, president of the ters’ union and one of the craft union fac- tion leaders, got into a fist fight. While William Green, the federa- tion president, banged his gavel for order, friends of each of the two main combatants succeeded in separating them. ~ Hutcheson was finally led from the hall, his face bleeding. Lewis stayed at the convention. Hutcheson told reporters that Lewis swung the first blow. Both are hefty men. Each appears to weigh upwards of 200 5 The riot was the climax so far of the bitter personal feeling develop- ing out of the scrap between craft and industrial unionists over how ™mass production industry employes they have continued to seek their goal by asking the convention to give unrestricted industrial union charters to specific industries. It was out of a fight of this kind regarding the rubber industry that Saturday's riot came. REP. KIMBALL DIES Kalamazoo, Mich., Oct. 19.—(P)— Rep. Henry M. Kimball (Rep.-Mich.) died Saturday.
