PAGE FOUR Cities Are Interested in North Dakota Boys Minneapolis, Jan. 30.—Every mail was beim* watched today by members Of the First North Dakota regiment, which early Sunday arrived at Fort Snelling, for the majority of the men Tvere anxious to know what commit tees in their home towns have been doing to get positions for them. The guardsmen said that earlier communications from the committees reported jobs were being found for the men, and that some business firms that employed guardsmen have sig nified their willingness to take them back. The Dakota militia men claim that their organization was one of the best equipped and trained on the border. 'When they arrived at Mercedes, where they were stationed, they had every thing necessary for a long stay except a place to build their camp. Except on one occasion, when they ate "hard tack" and canned beef for 12 days, the food, they said, was good. A meeting of the officers of the reg iment was held today to plan the mus tering out, which will be in a week or ten days. Company boasts the only wildcat wrestler in the country. He is Smith Taylor, a student at the University of North Dakota, who defeated all hu man aspirants at Mercedes. Then he captured a wild cat which attacked him while he was doing guard duty at night. The animal is now the com pany's mascot. The men, like Minnesota troops, are almost unanimous in the belief that the border service has sounded the death knell of the present national guard system. They declare them selves in favor of compulsory train ing, and denounce a system "that took men away from their jobs while oth ers remained at home." The North Dakota legislature Sat urday appropriated $10,000 for the re lief of returning guardsmen who will find themselves without jobs. A com mission will visit Fort Snelling to in terview the soldiers. Marshalltown (Iowa) Daily Repub lican. Several hundred khaki-clad troopers, .swarming up and down the streets of the city this morning, at tracted much attention, and created a temporary boom in trade for many merchants. The men constituted the entire First regiment of North Dakota troops, divided into three battalions, and running in two special trains of about 21 cats each. The first battalion, in charge of Capt. B. C. Boyd, arrived over the M. & St. L. from Moberly about 9:30, and remained here for over an hour, while the horses were watered, and the men given a chance to stretch their legs uptown. The men descended upon the main portion of the city in a body, many of them marching up town, and then having a generally hilarious time. A snow ball fight was staged at the cor ner of Main street and First avenue and a number of bod sleds were "com mandeered" by the soldiers, who rode up and down Main street, whooping and yelling. Tobacco dealers had a rush of business, and souvenir post card stores were swamped. The men rode in tourist cars, while behind them came the horses, and then a long string of flat cars, loaded with army wagons, which looked as if they had seen hard usage. The troops have been stationed at Mer cedes and Llano, Tex., towns about three miles apart, and are now on their way to Ft. Snelling where they will be mustered out and then return to their homes. There were 1,100 men in the two trains, which follow each other closely into this city. Officers who were on the second train were guests of the Marshalltown club for lunch, after which they spoke briefly of troop life on the border. The officers with the second train were Major Dana Wright, of James town Capt. N. McLean, of Kenmare, and Lieut. Deane Wiley, of Dickin son. The regiment was under the command of Colonel John Fraine, for merly lieutenant governor of North Dakota. KATHRYN SHIPPERS' ASSO CIATION HAD GOOD YEAR Kathryn Recorder: County Agent James, of Valley City, attended the an nual meeting of the Kathryn Shippers' of a breeders' association as an ad junct to the present shippers associa tion. In this connection he laid great stress on the importance of co-opera tion in the community to obtain the best results. He advised the mem bers of the aissociation to decide on some particular breed of cattle, beef or dairy. Those who might prefer- the dairy breed to decide on some breed, Holstein or other dairy breed, form an association of their own and im prove their herds by a careful selec tion of their best cows, then several groups of three farmers purchase a good sire of the particular breed which they favored and use him as long as is considered practicable and then ex change with some other group, who are raising the same breed. Mr. James advised the association to consider the raising of sheep. Below we give a brief summary of the financial condi tion of the association on Jan. 1, 1917: Membership fees collected.. $ 64.00 Sinking fund $ 87.50 Membership fees 41.27 Cash on hand $ 129.12 Cars shipped 19 Total receipts 26,446.67 Expenses deducted 2,043.52 Net sales $26,403.15 Losses Paid— Hogs, 7 $ 97.74 Calves, 1 5.00 $ 102.74 TbWNER WANTS INSANE ASYLUM Location at or near the city of Tow ner, in McHenry county, of the asylum for the insane, authorized by the amendment to the constitution up proved at the last general election, was asked in house bill 132 introduc ed by Representative Lazier Monday afternoon. The bill carries an appro priation of $25,000. Soo Kills Laborer Near Lucca Sunday Fargo, Jan. 30.—The dismembered and terribly mangled body of a Polish laborer, believed to be John Ewonick, Jamestown, from a notebook and pa pers found on his person, was found on the Soo tracks, six miles south of Lucca, in Cass county, Sunday after noon. The authorities believe that the man was attempting to beat his way, and in some manner fell under the wheels. The body was cut in 12 pieces. The remains were shipped to Fargo last night by Dr. Samuel Mitchell of Maplerton, county ..coroner, and are now in gfcarge of B. F. Wasem, coun ty undertaker, pending disposition. County authorities are today at tempting to definitely establish the man's identity. An employment slip found on the body shows that the man obtained work as a snow shoveler for the Great Northern company at Glosgow, Mont., from the Fedder's Brothers employ ment agency on Marquette avenue in Minneapolis on Dec. 31, 1916, and a discharge slip showed that he had worked 180 hours on the job. The body is that of a man about 35 to 40 years of age, but from its con dition it is impossible to obtain any tangible description. First Warden of Pen Is Dead at Bismarck Bismarck, Jen. 30—Daniel R. Wil liams, one of the earliest of Burleigh county's pioneers, passed away very suddenly on Monday afternoon, at the home of his brother, Gen. E. A. Wil liams, death being due to heart fail ure. While his health during the past year had not been of the best, yet it was not such as to give any indication that the end was so near. Daniel R. Williams was born in Mystic. Conn., May 10, 1846, and came with his parents to Werner, Wis., in 1861, where they resided for about a year, later removing to Freeport, 111. In 1869, deciding to strike out for him self, he left home, and came to Yank ton, then Dakota territory. In 1871 Judge Brooking's of the United States federal court at Yank ton, appointed Mr. Williams special administrator of the estate of Charles Reider, who had formerly operated a wood yard at Painted Woods and had been killed the fall before in a dispute with one of his employes. In settling up the estate it was necessary for Mr. Williams to come to Painted Woods, and it was on this first trip that he became acquainted with Joe Dietrich, Joe Taylor and W. H. Mercer, who then resided near Painted Woods. Very much impressed with the country and infatuated with the wild and adventurous life existing here at that time, he returned to Yankton, settled up the estate, and the follow ing spring left Yankton overland for Painted Woods. He established a hunting camp and wood yard on the banks of the Missouri, furnishing wood to the steamboats operating on the river at that time. In 1873 Burleigh county was organ ized and Mr. Williams was appointed the first register of deeds by the board of county commissioners. Two years later in a closely contested elec tion, in which there were four or five candidates, he was defeated. Gold having been discovered in the Black Hills, he joined a party of Bis marck people and left fcr South Da kota settling at the point where Rapid City is now licritti Snend"nr about two years in tha.. vicinity in an unsuccessful quest for gold he return ed to his former home in Illinois, and three years later he again came out to North Dakota and settled at what was formerly Williamsport, Emmons county. Being one of the organizers of Emmons county, he was appointed register of deeds when that county was organized. In 1883 the territorial legislature established the penitentiary at Bis marck, and Mr. Williams was chosen ny the board of directors as the first warden. He had charge of the build ing of the institution and served in the capacity of warden for about eight yours, when he was succeeded by Clark Haggart. It was while serving in this position that he met and mar ri?a Mrs. Ruth Gibbs at Williamsport, in 1885. At the conclusion of his term as warden of the penitentiary, Mr. and Mrs. Williams removed to Chicago, where he engaged in the real estate business. He had lived on the fron tier too long, however, to be satisfied with the settled-life of Chicago, and four years later he returned to North Dakota and established a cattle ranch on Brush lake in McLean county. Being well along in years and de siring to spend the latter years of his life in peace and quiet, he several years later purchased a tract of land at the site of his first camp on the banks of the Missouri near Painted Woods, and removed with his wife from McLean to Burleigh county, where he has lived up until a few weeks before his death. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Edward Morgan and Mrs. Walter G. Ford, of Freeport, 111., and his brother, Gen. E. A. Williams of this city, his wife having died in 1909. Funeral services will be conducted in the home of Gen. E. A. Williams Wednesday morning, at 10 o'clock, and will be in charge of Rev. Bruce E. Jackson of the Baptist church. Inter ment will be made in St. Mary's ceme tery. FAIL TO SEE APPRECIATION WEEK IN ITS TRUE LIGHT Sherwood, Jan. 30— Although last week was appreciation week in North Dakota, Mr. and Mrs. A. F.

Last week some one broke into the granary on the farm and took about 150 bushels of wheat. Mr. Hain had sold some of it at $1.71 a bushel. Report Urges Better Prepared Teachers THE WEEKLY TIMES-RECORD, VALLEY CITY, NORTH DAKOTA Raising the standard for admission to that of high school graduation, lengthening the course to two and pos sibly three years, eleminating special courses and laying more stress on the education of teachers for rural schools are some of the recommendations con cerning the Normal School made by the survey commission in its report, copies of which were received here some days ago. The survey commission, students will remember, was provided for by the last legislature. Through the action of the Board of Regents, U. S. Com missioner of Education, Hon. P. P. Claxton was secured to direct the survey. Assisting Dr. Claxton were Dr. El B.*Craighead, former president of the University of Montana Dr. Wil liam T. Bawden, specialist in industri al education, Washington^ and Prof. Lotus D. Coffman, University of Min nesota. "Since more than four-fifths of the children of North Dakota live in the open country," says the commission in its summary of recommendations, "and only one-ten.th live in places of 2,500 or more, all Normal schools should, without neglecting the train ing of teachers for city schools, make it their chief purpose to prepare teach ers for rural schools. Their courses of study and their practice and obser vation schools should be reorganized as may be necessary for this purpose. It should be recognized that teachers for the elementary rural schools need no less education, professional knowl edge and skill, maturity and native ability than teachers of schools of the same grade in urban communities. "The standard of admission to the Normal schools should be gradually raised to graduation from a standard high school of four years or its equiv alent, or of six years when the high school is preceded by only six years of elementary schooling. It is recom mended that this be done by requiring one year of high school work for ad mission in 1918, two years in 1919, three years in 1921, and four years in 1923 and thereafter. "For the sake of teachers of low grade of preparation already employ ed in the school of the State, the sum mer session of the Normal schools should continue to admit persons who have less "preparation than is requir ed at any given time for admission to regular classes in the school except those who have already been employ ed as teachers." The commission also recommends that high school graduates who have completed two years in the Normal school shall be granted a Normal school certificate, and for the comple tion of three years a diploma. It also recommends that the state provide a minimum salary for the teachers who hold a certificate and a larger mini mum for those who hold a diploma. Space forbids a further report of the recommendations made, but further, details of the Survey report will be published in the Budget from time to time on the assumption that prospec tive teachers are interested in the views of experts on the situation.
