: { Si Y = Library Instruction Given at High School Instruction in the effective use of the library was begun this week in Bismarck high school under the direc tion of Miss Arlene McBain, ll- brarian. Small groups of students spend one hour in the Ubrary where they are instructed in the use of the reference books, the various indexes and the classification system. It will take about two weeks for all the students to receive this instruction. The Bismarck high school library is the finest room in the building and contains about 6,000 volumes. A full-time librarian is employed. She also supervises the use of the room as a study hall. The junior high school library con- tains about 1,100 volumes, all of which were completely reconditioned during the summer under an NYA project. Miss Beth Wheeler, secre- tary to Principal C. W. Leifur, has charge of the junior high school li- brary. : ee Miles Nielsen Weds Miss Bertha Jesser The marriage of Miss Bertha Jes- ser, Mandan, and Miles Nielsen, Man- dan, formerly of Bismarck, occurred Sunday at high noon at Beach.

Assembled to see the curtain rise for the play was a small but appreciative audience, which to . the amusing lines with the laughter that always greets a presentation of the play. The role of Lord Fancourt Babber- Jey, an Oxford student, was ably played by Ted Boutrous who, as Lord Bab- kerley, impersonated “Charley’s aunt from Brazil, where the nuts come from.” Switching across the stage in a ridiculous black costume, topped by @ lace cap and kerchief, he af- forded the audience many laughs. As the very wealthy old lady from South America he was the object of affections of Col. Sir Francis Ches- ney, played by Milton Higgins, and Stephen Spettigue, played by Lieut. Col. Herbert Lentz Freeland. Proposal Scene is Funny Sir Francis’ proposal scene with the masquerader was one of the more ‘Go Home and x * * | Lansford Man Says Now Famed Remark to Legislators E. O. Haraldson of Lansford, Bottineau county, Wednesday of- fered a new version of the most famous remark in North Dako- ta’s political history, the famed “go home and slop the hogs” statement attributed to Treadwell Twichell, one-time legislative leader. | Haraldson, who served in the legislature in 1913 and 1915, says he was sitting next to Twichell in the house chamber when the lat- ter commented: “If this is the best we can do, we'd better go home and slop the hogs.” The | statement was not addressed to farmers but to the legislators, in- cluding himself, Haraldson said. The Bottineau county man also wondered why the political light- ning should strike teammates on either side of him on the famous University of North Dakota foot- ball team of 1903 and still leave him unscathed. ‘ He played center while on either side of him at the guards were ORN BELT FAVORS POPE-W'GILL BILL Crop Acreage Control Plus Granary Plan Endorsed at lowa Hearings Sioux City, Iowa, Oct. 21.—(P)— Impressed with the fact the bulk of 450,000 words of testimony showed Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa farmers want congress to pass a law providing for crop acreage control and an ever-normal granary, the senate agriculture sub-committee left here Thursday for Topeka, Kan. Senators James P. Pope of Idaho, George McGill of Kansas and Lynn J. Frazier concluded a three-day hearing at which 65 of the 101 wit- nesses went on record as favoring the principles of the Pope-McGill bill. A majority of tbe briefs filed by about 100 additional persons also favored the measure. The senators’ bill provides for a permanent farm program including soil conservation, production adjust- ment, an ever-normal granary, com- modity loans on basic farm com- modities and optional crop insurance. The committee will hold another easing at Topeka tomorrow and Sat- urday, Several Win Prizes At Westfield Show Linton, N.

The two other “undergraduates,” Larry Miller as Jack Chesney and Jus- tin Moellring as Charles Wykeham, together with their sweethearts, Isabel ‘LaRue as Kitty Verdun and Grace Wilcox as Amy Spettigue, provided much of the “love interest.” Eaeh of the boys was perfectly able to tell the other how to approach the young lady of his choice but was completely unable to say the proper thing to his lown sweetheart. Complications were finally ironed out, however, with the assistance of “Charley's Aunt.” One of their best scenes was when both couples had arranged a previous rendezvous at the same place.

Lemke was small but he had a lot of fight and was plenty tough, Haraldson recalls, holding his Place on the first team in com- petition against men who were much heavier than he. Commenting on conditions in his area, Haraldson said Eastern Bottineau county had good crops but in Western Bottineau many wheat fields were not cut and those which were harvested yield- ed only three to seven bushels |&arden with the masquerading aunt, per acre. Corn was good throughout the county, he said, and the fodder is very good. He said many farm- ers are shredding corn and oats together, thus producing excel- ent feed since the oats keeps the shredded corn from heating. It also saves the cost of threshing the oats. Livestock in the area are fat and in good condition, he sald, but there are not enough animals pecaute of the drouths in 1934 and pl A tense situation arose with the ar- rival of Ruth Curry as the real aunt, Donna Lucia D’Alvadorez, from Brazil but far from being a nut. With her was her adopted niece, Ela Dalahay, played by Olga Christenson.

Dr. George L. Johnson, man- ager of the veterans’ administra- tion facility at Tuscaloosa, Ala., who reported the case, did not recommend shooting as a general remedy for mental illness, Writing in the Military Sur- geon, Dr. Johnson said a 43-year- old World War veteran perma- nently disabled because of a bone infection, has lived for five years with the bullet imbeded in the base of his brain near the pitul- tary gland—the master regulator of the body’s gland secretions. One day in 1932 this veteran, suffering constant mental de- pression and finding himself un- able to work, pointed a revolver at the middle of his forehead and pulled the trigger. Today he is mentally normal, remembers well, and his worrles of five years ago have almost entirely disappeared, Dr. Johnson declared. Immediately after the attempt- ed suicide, the bullet was located by X-ray examination. The pati- ent, still conscious, was “greatly depressed,” had little to say, and preferred to be alone. Three days later, Dr. Johnson declared “he appeared greatly improved and appeared more ra- tional and as a result it was de- cided not to make any attempt to remove the bullet.” marks of the two servants were par- ticularly amusing. / Directing the production was Har- rison Monk, president of the Players. Others assisting with various phases of the preparatory work included Wesley Gilbertson, Ralph Montague, Lyman Morley, Chester Perry, Lila Clark, Ruth Stenvick, Sally Burton, Mervin F, Clough, Goldie Strutz, Hilda Nuern- berg, William Fox and Earl Monson. The “aunts” costume was made by Mrs. Lois Powell and Miss Bernice Hanson. Entertainment was furnished be- tween acts by Gloria Starkel, dance pupil of Margaret Ann Ramsey, who presented a novelty tap number, ac- companied at the piano by Mrs. Arthur Bauer, Another attraction was the Players trio, including Richard Baska, ‘Harold Smith and Dr. White, who sang two numbers. a The performance will be repeated at the City Auditorium tonight with the curtain rising at 8:15. Farmer Finds Strip Cropping Rotation Aid Willow City, N. D., Oct. 21.—Strip cropping is proving valuable to Art Vollmer of Willow City in helping him to work out economical and soil-pro- tecting crop rotation, Corn and small grain, wheat and fallow, and other combinations of close growing crops and clean culti- vation are rotated in strips a few rods wide. These are laid out either on the contour, or level, when there is sufficient slope to involve water run- off, or straight at right angles to the prevailing wind for outright wind ero- sion control. Vollmer has a half-mile windbreak planted to protect adjacent soil from blowing. He is one of many farmers in. the Bottineau area co-operating with the soil conservation service in putting improved soil management methods into effect.

Phone 337 Milligan Reveals Plans for Indians Stopping in Bismarck Wednesday during a pause in a three-months’ lecture tour of five mid-western states, Edward Milligan, North Dakota ar- chaeologist and student of Indian life, revealed his plans for an “Indian emancipation movement aimed , at eventual equality of the red-skinned race. Following a series of lectures in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Missouri towns, Milligan said, he will return to the Dakotas early in December co confer. with various Indian leaders. At that time they will shape a definite Program for advancement of the In- dians, Milligan said. Milligan spoke of many things he feels are now wrong with the federal administration of Indian affairs, chief among them being failure to give the Indian the right to man- age his own finances. Since he left Bismarck in August, Milligan has done archeological work on the Upper Missouri in Montana, near Three Forks, and has conferred with Indian leaders in that state. He has given a series of 26 lectures in Butte and Helena public schools and before women’s clubs in those cities. His next lecture will be at the state teachers college in Superior, Wis. Cool Weather Checks , Horse Brain Disease Fargo, Oct. 21—The brain disease of horses which again caused heavy Tosseés throughout the state in 1937 has run its course, according to Dr. L, M. Roderick, head the NDAC veterin- ary department. No more deaths from this cause are likely this year. Carriers of this disease are believed to be mosquitoes, Recent cold weather has put an end to these pests and therefore no further trouble is ex- pected until next summer. The disease is known as encephalomeylitis al- though it is commonly called horse ic sleeping sickness. To determine the extent of the re- cent epidemic the NDAC extensior. service through its county agents is securing detailed information from farmers in each county. Cooperating is Dr. T. O. Brandenburg, state vet- erinarion. The data obtained will be dicate the extent of the epidemic. The Bia will be completed about Oct.
