D., Feb. 8—When Het- tinger county’s board of county com- missioners discuss the problems of the farmer they know what they are talking about for they are farmers themselves as well as pioneers of the Hettinger county area. | And if any point on agricultural de- velopment or history escapes them they can always turn to County Audi- tor W. F. Griswold who came to Het- tinger county about the time the Can- non Ball river started meandering its way across the prairies. Starks Likes Jerseys E. O. Starks, chairman of the board, came to Hettinger county in 1905 from | Wisconsin and settled on a homestead j three miles from Mott, where he still resides. In addition to owning and operating a 480-acre farm he rents similar acreage of pasture land up- ,on which his fine herd of Jersey cat- | tle grazes, Elected county commissioner in 1916 he has served continuously since with the exception of four years from 1924 to 1928, He has been board ehair- man for 11 of his 16 years of service. He also has been a township super- visor for many years. Monke Is Missourian ‘Theodore Monke came to Hettinger county from Missouri in 1911 and bought the land in Rifle township upon which he still lives, He also owns and farms 480 acres and rents an additional quarter for pasture. A strong believer in diversified farming, he has one of the finest Holstein herds in the state and also is a big hog raiser. A township supervisor for 14 years, he resigned that post when he was elected county commissioner in 1928, He was re-elected in 1932. Dur- ing 1934 and 1935 he was chairman of | the board.

In 1934, patients in the hospitals borrowed 24,740 magazines and books. With her library on wheels Miss Litt brings to the patients’ bedside an assortment of books and periodi- cals from which heemay choose. All books in the library which are on loan are available to the patients. In announcing the circulation fig- ures, Miss Litt made an appeal for magazines. particularly for recent is- sues, which are in great demand. Every offering will be welcome and those who have reading material which they wish to donate are asked to telephone the library (159). Recently, perhaps due to the ex- tremely cold weather, there has been @ falling off. in donations and there is getting to be a scarcity of maga- zines for the work, Miss Litt said.

The new courthouse is a memorial to the sons of Hettinger county who served during the world war and was constructed under the law per- mitting the use of county funds for this purpose. In view of this fact an important part of the building is the memorial hall, set aside for use by war veterans. It also will be avail- able for community gatherings.

We have ground floor and may be segregated from the rest of the building for eve- ning meetings, an outside entrance having been provided. A library and public reading room also has been provided on this floor and is so planned that it could be converted into a county office should the need arise. Situated on a hill overlooking the city of Mott from the northwest the new building is within 100 yards of the Cannonball river. On a clear day the surrounding countryside may be seen for miles around, a keen eye being .able to discern Rainy Butte near New England, 30 or 40 miles away. The site is one of the most beautiful in Hettinger county and will lend itself beautifully to land- scaping. The building is constructed of na- tive brick over a steel framework and is fireproof throughout. There is nothing elaborate in its design, the county officials insisting on efficiency and economy of operation as the watchword. As a result the architects relied upon their arrangement of mass and harmony of detail to lena ation, declaring “The senate is the master of its own rules.” Ruled With Firm Hand However, as vice president, Mr. Curtis ruled the senate with a firm hand and brooked no overstepping of parliamentary regulations. With his background of @ score of years of service and his thorough familiarity with the rules, he stood out as an able presiding officer. Almost at the outset of his incum- bency as vice president he gained nation-wide notice when he protested to the state department against the place accorded his sister and official hostess, Mrs. Edward E. Gann, at of- ficial social functions behind the {members of the diplomatic corps. Secretary of State Stimson was called upon to revise the ruling of his pre- decessor, Frank B. Kellogg, who had assigned Mrs. Gann. Secretary Stim- son asked the diplomats to extend the courtesy of precedence to her and they agreed. The vice president's sister then took rank second only to that of Mrs. Hoover, the president’s wife. unity to the design and to give the appearance of dignity and stateli- ness, Is Three Stores High The structure is three stories high with a half basement, which has na- tural light. The brick walls have been relieved by a trim of Minne- sota limestone and aluminum apand- rels between the windows. Entering through an ornamental doorway, the visitor enters a lobby which has walls of buff Montana travertine and is one of the orna- mental spots in the structure. The foor is of terrazo and the ceiling is acoustically treated. A stairway leads to the upper floors and both this and the lobbies on each floor are lighted by large front windows. County business offices occupy the first floor with the courtroom and ad- ditional offices on the second floor. The courtroom design is in har- mony with the dignity of the law, the walls being paneled with wal- nut. The ceiling is acoustically treated to eliminate echoes and reverberations. Windows along the west side permit a view of the river, prairies and hills. All the windows fare equipped with venetian blinds, permitting control of the natural light which floods the place. Two Large Jury Rooms Adjacent to the courtroom are two large jury rooms which can be reach- ed without disturbing the court and which yet are under the direct sup- ervision of the judge and the con- stant control of the bailiff. The judge's office is so located as to per- mit direct communication with the public and the courtroom without in- terfering with other portions of the building, The sheriff's office and living quar- ters, together with the jail, are on the third floor, the jail being of mod- ern design and equipment. In addition to the present facilities, the building has space for the storage of records and for the installation of @ passenger elevator which will be accessible directly from the main lob- bies and corridors. Has Modern Equipment Economy of operation marks the de- sign of the various county offices, each being laid out with a view to the work which will be done there af- ter consulation with county officials. Each office is equipped with metal furniture of pleasing design. This, together with files, counters and ac- cessories of a similar nature, was fur- nished by the Bismarck Tribune com- any.

His father, William Curtis, traced his American ancestry back to 1621. His mother died when he was a baby and he was taken in charge by his wrinkled old Indian grand- mother, Julie Poppin, the daughter oz White Plume, a chief of the Kaws. His grandmother persuaded him as a youth to go to his white relatives and become one of them. Drove Hack at Night His grandmother Curtis got him started to school and when he grad- uated from the Topeka high school he delivered the commencement oration. Then he began studying law, driving the hack at night and selling fruit at the railroad station to help pay his expenses, He was admitted to the bar in 1881 and when he was 24 was elected prosecuting attorney of Shaw- nee county, proceeding during his term to close all the saloons in the county. After one unsuccessful attempt, he was elected to the house of represent- atives in 1892 and served continuously until 1907, Then he was appointed to take the place of Senator Joseph E. Burton, who had resigned, and with the exception of an interlude from 1912 to 1914, continued in the senate until his election as vice president. Upon the death of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts he was elevated to the | Post of Republican leader. On Nov. 27, 1884, Mr. Curtis mar- ried Annie E. Baird of Topeka. They had three children. Mrs. Curtis died in June, 1924.

On Aug. 16, 1933, during the world’s fair at Chicago, the health department dis- covered that a great many employes handling food in a Chicago hotel had amoebic dysentry, a deadly disease. McCormick had the report suppressed. Later more cases were discovered. McCormick again had the findings suppressed and also persuaded other newspapers of Chicago to say noth- ing about it. It was not until the close of the world’s fair that any newspaper comment appeared. In the meantime, many people had come to Chicago and had fallen victims of the epidemic. “Some of them died as a result, including my friend, William Stewart, Minnesota game and fish commis- sioner. McCormick suppressed the truth because the rotten dollars to be made from the fair were more precious to him than the lives of innocent people who could have been warned. If he has a conscience it should be crawling with dysentry germs. “This, then, is the despicable char- acter who casts reflection upon our cities and our people. This, then, is the journalistic charlatan who de- nounces our daily press. Sees ‘Bertie’ Near Top “I state with the utmost conviction, that if a list of infamous persons in the United States was compiled, Bertie McCormick would be at or near the top.” McCormick replied Saturday, “If Governor Olson is cleared of the Lig- gett murder I'll reply to his charges that I am a ‘fakir’ and ‘journalistic charlatan’ and not before.” Comment on other phases of Governor Olson's reply was refused by McCormick. Widow Accused Olson Liggett’s widow, testifying in the! trial of Isadore (Kid Cann) Blumen- feld, former bootlegger, for Liggett’s killing, asserted her husband must have been slain with Governor Ol- son’s permission. “Liggett,” Colonel McCormick as- serted, “carried on a fearless fight against the criminal alliance of crime and politics which ruled Minneapolis, the county, and the state of Minne- sota.” He declared the state, through its Political personnel, was in alliance with crime and that propaganda against newspapers had been caused by “subverters because the news- Papers are the backbone of the insti- tutions they wish to overthrow.” Break Down Feared “Free government has all but broken down,” he asserted. “Whether the ship of state will steer upon the rocks of anarchy or to the deep safe channel of constitutionality hangs in the balance.” “The future,” he told the editors, “depends on their constancy and courage.” He described them as “the only element that is still militant in Rate country and understands its luties.” MILL CITY OFFICIALS CHALLENGE VICE CHARGE Minneapolis, Feb. 8.—(#)—Prompt to submit purported eivdence of un- the grand jury was made Saturday by the Minneapolis Law and Order league. for afternoon and ankle to heel length for evening.
