Highly developed as the en- graver’s art is, it was impossible to reproduce that one great curl, Begin- 3} ning to twirl in the middle of the broad, intelligent forehead it cork- screws back in three-inch whorls to the nape of the neck. Today, alas, there is only a faint reminder of the glory that was his. That expansive white dress was just erations a sample of what has been his lot. And 4IN'T HE SWEET? that dejected mien came from realiza- tion that he was foreordained’to always be looking down in the mouth. His father and his grandfather and his great-grandfather all were river- men, Mississippi-Missouri river boat operators and pilots. But the nearest he ever comes to ships is nudging a schooner across the bar on rare occa- sions. It is with a feeling of “vengeance is mine” that we present in all his in- fant glory, Dr. James Kienan Blunt, doctor of dentistry and prince of good fellows. A HONEYMOON ERROR Some 30 years ago, shortly before her marriage, 2 young Mandan woman required the professional services of the late Dr. F. R. Smyth of Bismarck. ‘The doctor’s statement for $6 reached her on the eve of her wedding, Realizing she would be unable to remit payment until after her honey- moon, the young woman placed six silver dollars in a small box and marked it, “This is for Dr. Smyth.” Then she gave up thoughts of material things for the spiritual. Last spring the Mandan woman, long since become a resident of Bis- marck and the wife of a prominent physician, was rummaging through her hope chest of 30 years ago. Her own daughter was about to be married, and she knew there were a number of things of her own she would like her oe to have. Down at the bottom of the trunk she discovered a small box. Inside of the box was a still smaller box. It had a label, “This is for Dr. Smyth.” In the mental flashback she could not recall on the instant just what it was for. Opening it she found six dollars of the vintage of 1884. Then she remembered. But how the box came to be mislaid in her trunk she has not recalled to this day. Recently Mrs. ‘Smyth received beh a silver dollars, NORTH DAKOTA’S SHERLOCK “HOLMES He has solved more murder mysteries than any other pegce officer in the history of North Dakota. Far famed as a competent criminal case investigator is Christopher J. Martineson of Bismarck, for 25 years connected with the police Lamon here in all capacities from patrolman to chief, Retired in 1934, Chris has devoted his time to acting as special investi- gator for private: and public interests in running down every variety of scofflaw. Chris’ latest achievement was the speedy solution of the killing of Carl Wilson, Hettinger farmer, for whose death Clarence Magrum, 19-year-old Reeder farm hand, is serving already life sentence in the state prison here. Called into the mystery case to aid Adams County State’s Attorney Henry Moen, Sheriff Frank Zenk and Assist- ant Attorney General Glen Thomp- son by Gov. Walter Welford, Martine- son quickly “broke” the case. Wilson was killed last Saturday night. His body was found Sunday. Martineson went to work Tuesday. He paid scant attention to voiced sus- picions of who committed the crime. He hunted for the death gun. He found it Wednesday, a 20-gauge shot- gun, on the farm of Bernard Magrum, brother of Clarence. The doctor who examined Wilson’s body had told Martineson he believed Wilson was killed by a blast from a 20-gauge Then Martineson began que: Washington, Nov. 30.—(7)—AAA officials worked hurriedly Saturday completing preparations for the new- est venture in crop regulation—com- pulsory tax control of potato produc- tion, effective at midnight Saturday. The drastic arid controversial potato law, passed at the last session of con- gress, provides for a tax of three fourths of a cent a pound on all po- tatoes harvested after Dec. 1 and sold in excess of a national allotment. An allotment of 226,600,000" bushels ‘was fixed by the AAA on Nov. 1, Offi- cials said grower committees in Flor- ida, Louisiana, Texas and California now are working on individual allot- ments. Work on such allotments will be begun in other states as rapidly as possible, they saiti. The first potatoes of the new crop, to which the control system applies, probably will be ready for harvest late in December. Each grower will receive from @ county committee tax- exemption stamps to cover the amount of his allotment. The law says these stamps must be attached to packages when his potatoes are sold. Buyers and sellers of unstamped potatoes are lable to a $1,000 fine but AAA offi- cials say they will suggest an amend- ment to exempt the consumer from this, SEAL DRIVE MEETS GENEROUS SUPPORT Check-Up at Noon Reveals Pro- ceeds Near Those of First Day Last Year Christmas seal drive workers re- cruited from the organizations affili- ated with the Women’s Community Council met with ready response in their sales of the 1935 stamps launched in the down town section Friday morning, it was announced by Charles C. Goodwin, in charge of that phase of the annual campaign. Proceeds so far about equal those at the same time last year. The share of the drive proceeds which the council retains goes toward serving free milk in the city schools and to doing special corrective work among school children who ere rec- ommended for such by Miss Es- ther Teichmann, school nurse, who works in close cooperation with the council, Gov. Walter Welford has called for state-wide support of the annual Christmas seal campaign of the North Dakota Anti-Tuberculosis association, which was launched Friday and will continue until Christmas. “I urge general and wholehearted support for the annual Christmas seal campaign,” his proclamation de- clared. “Help protect North Dakota’s boys and girls by purchasing Christ- mas seals that fight tuberculosis the year around. The seals you buy to- day may save a life tomorrow.” Wel- * | ford emphasized that portions of the funds raised are used through local child health funds for anti-tubercu- losis work and that other parts are expended in the nation-wide battle against tuberculosis. “The appeal deserves the serious consideration of everyone, for the dis- ease (tuberculosis) continues to be the nation’s foremost public health problem — especially among the young,” stated President Franklin D. CHRIS the principals in the prairie tragedy. And colleagues say that Chris has no peer when it comes to sitting down and having a heart to heart talk with persons suspected of crimes. Rough stuff don’t go with Chris, He talks to them in a fatherly fashion, convinces them he is their best friend. Irene Mueller, Clarence’s fiancee and sister of Mrs. Wilson, was the first to “crack.” She admitted remembering not séeing Clarence Saturday and that the gun was gone that day, too. Then she admitted that Clarence had confessed to her and Mrs, Wilson that he had “visited” Wilson that fatal Saturday night. Then Magrum was called in. Adamant at first, he soon fell under the spell of Chris’ clipped questioning, the quiet voice that eased his taut nerves. Dramatically ushered into the grill room, Clarence confessed. Chris had solved the mystery to his credit. Looking back, it was Martineson who arrested John Hollenbach, sys- ba robber of wholesale houses and creameries on the Slope in 1919 and Unaided he obtained the confession of Joe Berger on Jan. 6, 1924, that paiva brutally slain two transients near Jamestown, Sept. 4, 1923, for Unaided he heard William Jesson confess on Aug.

From the west bank of the Missouri river near Stanton last Sunday, Eldor and George Sagehorn of Stanton and John Sagehorn, Fred Riley, Lars Kleppe, Henry Gaede and Bill Cleary of Bismarck watched a frightened doe bound across the ice from the east bank, plunge into open water a few yards rom them. Swimming strongly, the doe gained the west edge of the ice sheet but ‘was unable to climb out. One hour, two hours she struggled and swam. pb get she began to weaken, The hunters thought a shot would put her out of misery. “Don’t,” said Eldor Sagehorn, “I’m going to save her.” With the aid of his brother, George, Sagehorn caught down a sapling about 20 feet long. To the end of the sapling he tied one end of a short rope Nin 8 Jo0p- The brothers shoved a log out over the ice to the edge of the On this slippery perch for more than an hour, Eldor Sagehorn lay vainly endeavoring to lasso the doe. But she avoided the loop, steadily grew weaker, began to sink between spasms of swimming, As the doe’s efforts grew feebler, Sagehorn noted she seemed to have lost Minenapolis, Nov. 30.—()—Trucks continued to haul goods and equip- ment from the beleaguered Strutwear Knitting company Saturday while Strikers still picketed the plant.

D. MINE OPERATOR LICENSES New System Enables Better Enforcement of ing Laws, Binek Declares A total of 275 coal mine operators’ Ucenses has been issued since July 1 of this year, S. A. Binek, state mine inspector, said Friday. He pointed out that during the period from July 1, 1934, to July 1 of this year a total of 223 licenses had been issued. In addition, Binek said, there are 59 applications now, pending awaiting completion of Vorkmen’s Compensa- tion Insurance. The Mine Inspection department is under supervision of the state Workmen’s Compensation Bureau. “It is very evident the change in the law placing licensing and inspection of coal mines directly under Work- men’s Compensation Bureau is of benefit to the mine operators,” Binek said. “It gives this department ac- curate information as to who is oper- ating the mine and who is employing labor, which enables mining laws to be better enforced.” Rigid inspection by the mine in- spection department will make pos- sbile a reduction of rates “materially within a short time,” J. E. Pfeifer, secretary of the Workmen’s Compen- sation board, declared, Presbyterian Church Claims 170 Adherents A survey of the religious affilia- tions of the Bismarck high school students indicated on their enroll- ment cards shows the Presbyterian faith claims the largest number of adherents with the Lutheran church in its combined branches second and the Methodist third, according to fig- ures compiled in the office of C. Leifur, principal. One hundred seventy students in- dicated their affiliation with the Presbyterian church, 143 with the Lutheran, and 94 were Methodists. Of the Lutherans, 84 students attend the Trinity Lutheran church, 36 the First Lutheran, and 23 the Zion Luth- eran church, Clergymen of Bismarck have re- ceived from the principal's office the names of the students in their respec- tive denominations to aid them in their religious work among the young People. Other denominations represented in the high school are Roman Cath- olic, 62; Evangelical, 53; Baptist, 32; Episcopal, 20; Christian Science, Jewish, 10; Salvation Army, 10; Se' enth Day Adventists, 7; Gospel Tal ernacle, 3; Congregational, 3; Ger- man Baptist, 1; Unitarian, 1; Greek Orthodox, 1; Church of the Latter Day Saints, 1 New Deal Behind in ballots cast cast in the Literary BUSINESS HELP FOR Hopton Would Spread Levy on should pay a part of the cost of hall insurance for farmers was voiced Fri- day by Harold Hopton, state insur- ance commissioner, who said he will present legislation covering such a proposal to the next legislature. the fact the department this year in- curred losses of $2,800,000, the heav- fest in its history.

Had it not come from this source, he said, business interests would have been forced to help take care of them. As it is, he pointed out, they will derive real benefit from the payments. Hopton praised the action of Gov. Walter Welford and Attorney General P, O. Sathre in making it possible last spring for more farmers to obtain coverage. They did so through the gov- ernor’s moratorium setting aside the law which prohibited the department. from granting insurance to farmers who were behind in premium pay- ments more than one year of the last three, Meanwhile, Lars J. Siljan, hail de- partment manager, announced that study is being given to a proposal by Gerhard Olson, Traill county auditor, which would fix basic rates for hail insurance. Under the present system, rates are figured at the end of each year. Ol- son would group the experience to date and fix permanent rates which would fluctuate slowly, if at all, as is the case with most other kinds of in- surance, SPEAKERS PREPARE T0 RENEW RIVALRY Bismarck Hopes to Win Third and Final Round at James- town, Dec. 6 Members of the public speaking classes in Bismarck high school are preparing for the third leg of the triangle extemporaneous speaking contest staged this fall by Jamestown, Valley City and Bismarck. ‘This is the second year such a con- test has been held. Last year, Bis- marck with the largest number of points in the three contests won the trophy which was donated by the Valley City Kiwanis club, and is leading thus far this year with Valley City second and Jamestown third. In the initial round at Valley City in October James Snyder of Bismarck tied for second place with a Valley City entrant. Other local students who participated were Alice Knowles and Ben Jones. Valley City and Jamestown won first and third places, respectively. In the November contest in Bis- marck, Lenn Laskin placed first, Val- ley City second, and Jamestown, third. The other entrants from Bis- marck were Jeanne Paris and Roberta Reid. Contestants speak extemporaneously one hour before the contest is sched- uled to begin. In that hour the stud- ents assemble and arrange the ma- terlal for their 10 minute talks. Topics Vast Clouds of Silence Rise From Party Camps.

Senators Glass and Byrd of Vir- ginia have announced they are for the Democratic ticket, but does any- one expect either of them to take the lead in noise-making for Roosevelt next year? Has Senator Tydings of Maryland even whispered about the re-election campaign? What has become of Reed Smoot? And Charles G. Dawes? Where does Charles D.

All Shy Amid all the talk about presidential possibilities, the lack of acknowledged candidacies is astonishing. A novice. at politics might suppose that no one at all intended to run next year. Mr. Roosevelt says nothing ig what ever about running. That is the least surprising part of the Hotei erate because presidents customarily announce their desire to be seelactal and everyone takes it for granted they will run.

Recreational Survey Launched in County A survey to discover the proper field for recreational activity to be undertaken in Burleigh county is be- ing conducted by Theodore Cam- pagna, county recreational supervisor. Campagna is making the survey to determine what type of programs are best suited to the likes, talents and facilities of the various county com- munities. Five general classifications are in- cluded in the possible fields for re- creation, including athletics, music, dramatics, handicraft and hobbies. Campagna is sending the questionaires to various county organizations in- cluding Homemaker and 4-H clubs. The survey also hopes to determine what facilities for recreation are avail- able for the recreation program in each community, both for indoor and outdoor activity.
