I! :1' 1 THE WARD COUNTY INDEPENDENT '%, dk Minot, Ward County, North Dakota, Thursday, September 30, 1920. SrTlS. Body of Miss Jane Delano la Interred in National Cemetery Military commitment services for the body of Miss Jane Delano were held at Arlington National Cemetety on Saturday afternoon, September 18, at two-thirty o'clock. As Miss Jane Delano died in line of active duty for the Red Cross ft Savenay, France, on April 15, 1919, her body was brought to the United States on the U. S. Army Transport Sherman, September 11th. It was escorted to Washington September 15th and placed In Arlington National Cemetery under military guards. The simple military commitment services held at the grave on Saturday were witnessed by many representatives of the Army, Navy, and other branches of the government, by Red Cross of ficials from National Headquarters, and from the Potomac and Fourteenth Divisions of the Red Cross as well as many Washington nurses. As first Chairman of the National Committee on Red Cross nursing, Miss Delano organized the Red Cross nursing reserve, now numbering thir ty-six thousand graduate nurses ready for immediate mobilization in time of national calamity. Twenty thouf sand of these served in the-great war. A pioneer advocate of preparedness, Miss Delano's last service to the Red Cross, before going overseas, was the further development of Public Health Nursing and class instruction for wo men, now so important a factor in the Red Cross future program. Miss Delano's great interest in the wdrk of the nurses in France took heE overseas early in 1919, for a personal inspection of the work. In April she was taken seriously ill, and died at Base Hospital 69, at Savenay, France, on April 15, 1919. Fargo Insurance Man in City C. F. Peterson, of Fargo, represents ing the Fidelity A Casualty Co. of New York, was in the city Saturday conferring with Russell Doebler, their local agent. Mr. Peterson has charge of the adjustment of claims for the Company in this territory. Com menting on local conditions Mr. Peter son states that the traffic regulations are not rigidly enforced which ac counts in large measure for the num erous claims for damages which arise in Minot. He says the number of damage claims from this city is alto gether out of proportion to the size fthe city, a fact which may be ex plained only on the hypothesis that officials are lax in enforcing the trafjj fic regulations.

Final adjournment. 9 1' .1 $ "v INDEPENDENT HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY WEEKLY IN THE STATE FIRST SECTION Arisona Blossoms Like A Rose John Feiker, of Phoenix, Arizona, is spending a few days in the city, the guest of his old friend, Marius Erickson, of the Case Company. Mr. Feiker is branch manager of the Case Threshing Machine Co. at Phoenix, where he has made his home for sev eral years. Speaking of conditions in the Southwest Mr. Feiker says that the various irrigation projects in Ari zona have made that once desert land to blossom as the rose. In the vi cinity of Phoenix they are now rais ing thousands of acres of the finest cotton grown, the Egyptian long sta ple cotton, which commands the high, est market prices. Irrigation has made possible the raising of an abun dance of the finest fruits and vege tables, dates, figs, alfalfa, canteloupe and corn are among the leading pro ducts of the region. In one day re cently Phoenix alone shipped 85 car loads of canteloupe. Mr. Feiker is interested in oil development work in Texas and Louisiana. In Texas where he has large holdings of oil lands, principally in Ward and Reeves coun ties, they have several producing wells. The wells in that section pro duce a high percentage of lubricating oil, and besides contains from four to five pounds of icthyol, a valuable me dicinal substance, worth about $8.00 per lb. In the Toy Basin they have hundreds of producing wells running from 250 to 900 feet in depth. The gushers, however, are found at from 2500 to 3000 feet in depth. The Bell well in that district produces 1100 barrels per day. Mr. Feiker says that although the temperature of Arizona is extreme there are seldom any protrations from the heat. The reptiles and insects are the worst to contend against. It is not unusual to find a rattler curled up on one's door step or a centipede or tarantula has taken possession of your domicile during your absence. Surprise Farewell Reception for Mrs. C. C. Eroe and Mrs. J. A. Roell Mrs. Chas. Madden and Mrs. F. Otto Gross entertained Tuesday after noon at the former's home, compli mentary to Mrs. Chas. C. Eroe and Mrs. J. A.

Roell were presented with cut glass dishes by the assemblage, the presentation being made by Mrs. Bragg.

Mr. Roell, for many years a resident of Minot, is now engaged in the insurance business and will make Minneapolis his head quarters. Mrs. Eroe will leave next week for Tacoma,*Wash., to join her husband who is now in business in that city. Minrit will miss both of these families very much indeed.

Announces Reduc tion of Price on Fords The Moore Motor Company of this city has an announcement in this is sue giving the details and prices of Ford cars, Fordson tractors and Ford trucks, recently established by the Ford Motor Co. of Detroit, Michi gan.

The announcement of the Moore Motor Co. gives the public timely warning as to the consequences which will follow the reduction. With or ders on hand already for 146,000 cars and the added stimulus of sales the recent reduction will evoke it is alto gether probable that the Ford com pany will be swamped with orders and prospective purchasers should take steps at once to see that their orders are booked at once as it will be prac tically impossible for any manufact urer to fill the immense number of or ders which will result from this re duction. In the face of present conditions in the market the effect of the reduction in price of Ford cars will be stupend ous, and will have a far reaching ef fect on other lines of merchandising. smugglers and bad men.

Long, secretary and general manager of the Brush McWilliama Co., is preparing to leave Minot and will make his future home in Minne apolis. Mr. and Mrs. Long are pre paring to leave two weeks from today and expect to motor to Minneapolis. Mr. Long /has not fully decided definitely on his plans for the future, but he will enter into business in Minneapolis, sleeting one of the pro positions which he now has under con sideration. Before coming to Minnt nine years ago, Mr. Long was a credit man in that city and was Vice Presi dent cf the Milwaukee Creditmen's as sociation before his removal to Minot. It is possible that he will take up his former work, with which he has been very successful. Mr. Long came to this city in Janu ary, 1912, and has been Secretary of the Brush-iMcWilliams Co. ever since. He has handled the finances and ac counts of this well known real estate loan concern, which is one of the very largest of its kind operating in the Northwest. This company has oper ated in northwestern North Dakota and eastern Montana, maintaining its general offices in Minot and its sale* office in Milwaukee. The Brush-Mc Williams Co. holds the controlling in terest in the Eirst International Bank and while Mr. Long is leaving Minot, it is understood that he still retains important interests in the company. He is one of the directors of the First International Bank. No man very probably has given so much of his time to the public wel fare of Minot as has Mr. Long. He was director of the Association of Commerce for five years, during which time he was treasurer for two years and president for two years. This is the first time in the history of the Association that a man has been elected president two successive years. The very first check he drew after coming to Minot was to pay his dues as a member of the Minot Association of Commerce. As chairman of the Industrial Com mittee of the Association, he did very effective work. His committee brot Animals as Actors in Feature Photo pl«y "The Courage of Marge O'Doone", in seventy new members for the As Vitagraph's screen version of the pop-! sociation during one season.
