Washington. D. C.—Sergeant Samuel Woodfill, in the opinion of General Pershing, deserves first place on the list of men who displayed outstanding heroism in action in France. Until Monday little was known of the value of Sergeant Woodfill, who has been in the regular army for 2d years and who was commissioned a lieutenant during the war and pro moted to captain for heroism in action. On October 12. 1918. near Cunei, France, during the Meuse-Argonne of fensive, Sergeant Woodfill, then a lieutenant, cleaned out three machine gun nests, silencing the guns and killing 19 Germans, including one of ficer, and capturing three others. Fortune smiled on Woodfill, who escaped without a serious wound, al though he faced four Germans at one time, an unnamed number at another, five in a fourth engagement, finally killing two more with a pick. These engagements followed each other in quick succession. Woodfill had been sent out by his brigade commander to locate the en emy’s line. He actually located it when he came across the first machine gun nest, but could not be certain and pressed forward after killing the four men commanding that gun. He had just killed five Germans in a third machine gun nest and was about to jump into the pit with drawn revolver when two other Germans turned their weapons upon him at short range. Failing to kill them with his revolver, Woodfill seized a pick which was lying close by and brained both of the enemy. How Woodfill managed to keep un der cover so long was the subject of much comment around the war de partment recently. He received the congressional medal of honor and was twice decorated by France and once by Montenegro. His case would not have been brought to public attention now, but for the fact that General Pershing recently completed a series of the war records of the officers and soldiers who served during the war, deciding that the “outstanding heroism of Sergeant Samuel Woodfill entitled him to special mention” in the "report of the commanding general of the first army expeditionary forces on the or ganizations of the first army,” which is soon to be submitted to Secretary of War Weeks.

With Radicalism Beaten, Pros pects Are Bright. TOWNLEYISM BROKEN Initiated Measures Also Seem Sure to Have Been Voted at Polls To gether With Recall. Fargo. N. D.—The measures to re vise the state government have been passed at the state-wide recall elec tion which also repudiated the Non partisan league. Now the future opens with what the people believe are bright prospects. They feel that they are through with socialists and radical rule. Returns collected at Fargo Saturday night from all but 258 precincts out of 2086 in the state gave the following vote on governor: R. A. Nestos, in dependent, 106,148; Lynn J. Frazier, Non-partisan, 96,866. Nestos’ major ity. 9282. The early Nestos lead of 27,000 had been cut down by belated returns from the western “slope” counties, the Non-partisan league strongholds, but the swing away from Townleyism was apparent even in the west, and victory was assured not only for Mr. Nestos, but for his two associates on the in dependent ticket. Initiated measures, backed by the independents, curbing the frenzied fin anciering of the league administration, also seemed certain to carry. The state where the Non partisan league was born, where it flourished and ruled with a high and lavish hand for five years, has awakened from feverish dreams of state socialism to face the costly reckoning. R. A. Nestos has been elected gov ernor, Sveinbjorn Johnson attorney general and Joseph A. Kitchen com missioner of agriculture and labor. Important initiated laws appear to have carried, carrying out part of the programme announced by the inde pendents. These laws, if passed, will end up the Bank of North Dakota, establish a state rural credits system like that of South Dakota, limit state bond is sues to *7,500,009, except as secured by real estate mortgages, restore the old law for depositories of public funds and change the membership of the in dustrial commission. The new com mission is to consist of John Steen, state treasurer; Thomas Hall, secre tary of state; and Joseph A. Kitchen, the new commissioner of agriculture and labor. All are independents. UNIONS CALL OFF RAILROAD STRIKE Chicago.—The rail strike, scheduled for October 30, was averted Friday night when leaders of the switchmen, trainmen, conductors, engineers and firemen at a joint meeting adopted resolutions withdrawing authorization of a walkout and officials of the rail road telegraphers’ organization an nounced they would take similar action. These were the only unions which had authorized a strike. The vote in the individual unions was unusually close, however, the fire men particularly holding lengthy ar guments before agreeing to cancella tion of the strike order, the labor chieftains said. In some of the groups the ballot was described as “the clos est in history on a similar question.” All of the differences were ironed out by the different unions, however, and the final showdown found all of them casting their ballots for "no strike.” Mail Put Under Guard. New York. — Fifteen motorcycles with sidecar attachments, driven by armed postal employes, were put into service Saturday to accompany wagons loaded with valuable mail. The ma chines were ordered by Postmaster Morgan at the Instance of Postmaster- General Hays, because of the mail truck robbery last Monday, in which robbers escaped with *1,509,000 worth of money and securities. Bank Resources Decline. Washington, D. C. — Aggregate re sources of the 30,815 banks in the country, amounting to *49,688,839,000, declined by *3,390,269,000 during the la.it fiscal year, according to a state ment of bank reports for June 30, is sued by the controller of the currency.

The reduction probably will be three mills. A pub lic meeting of taxpayers will be held November 25. after which the council will fix the levy. Cottage Grove. — Property owners along the west side of Row river, be ginning about one mile north of the steel bridge, have constructed a dike which changes the course of the river, eliminates a big bend and turns the water down a gravel bar, The purpose of turning the channel was to prevent the washing away and inundation of agricultural land.

Conway, an organizer from San Fran cisco, who says that a number of representative business and profession al men have signed the charter roll.

Salem.—Administration costs of the Oregon highway department, when compared with figures received here from other states, indicated that the road program In Oregon is being car ried forward as economically as in any other section of the country. For the first nine months of the fiscal year starting November 1, 1929, the total expenditures of the highway de partment were *11,916.913.11. This figure Includes administration costs, bond interest and money actually paid out for improvements. The expense of administration In connection with these operations were 6.76 per cent.

He almost tipped It over, for he for got he was much heavier than the Queen and her little carriage together, but, of course, the Queen forgave him because be felt so badly about it. Then he told the Queen about bls plan and that he wished to have a red coat of feathers, because they would look so beautiful in the orange grove with the golden fruit and green leaves nnd the blossoms. "But how about your little mate?” THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME By MARY MARSH AIL DUREE asked the Queen. "It will Hot be suf»’ for her to wear a red dress when she has the neat and the Imblcs to cure for.

Ro the Queen called for the tinting fairy nnd let Mr. Redbird select the color lie wished to have for Ids rout, and while the fairies danced around him and his little wife, the Queen changed his feathers to red, wings and tail and body. “Oh, isn't he beautiful I" said his little wife. "I am proud of you. my dear; I shall never tiro of looking nt you.” They then thanked the Queen and flew awny, and while Mr. Redbird could not often visit ids mate while she was on the neat because of Ids red coat, he did not forget how unselfish she was and did not make a fuss be cause she could not have her dress changed to the c«>lor of Ida coat. So while Sha cared for the eggs, he carried to lier sometimes a choice worm, or blossom or berry, and al ways, where she could hear h'm, he snug to her his very sweetest song.

Friday la her lucky day mid 7 her lucky number. UST because a young woman hat accepted your company ns escort to a dance Is no reason to be lieve that she wishes to give you any more dunces than she does to any of the other young men whom she knows who are present. But it is the es cort's duty to see that the young wom an has a reasonable number of dances taken, and this result he achieves, even when she Is not one of the most pop ular of the young women present, by Introducing her to other young men. Usually the escort requests the young woman be escorts for her sup per dance—If there be one—at the be ginning of the evening; but he has no ground for taking offense if she gives this to some one else. However, he Is not privileged to take hla supper dance with another young woman un less he sees that the young woman he has escorted has a partner for thnt dance. It Is customary for the escort, after taking off his own hat ami coat, to await his companion in the hall or cor ridor before going Into the boll room or reception room. It would be most Inconsiderate of him to start filling out his own dance order before she had arrived. Before beginning the evening's danc ing, the escort should Inquire of ids companion how long she wishes to remain. If she expresses her wish to leave after the first half of the dances are over—or anywhere else on the program—he should make n mark through the section in the dance order beyond this point, as a reminder not to engage any dances after that time. If she signifies her desire to leave be fore the time she suggested It Is clear ly the duty of the escort to leave with her even though In doing so he has to cancel dances promised to other young women with whom he has en gaged these dances who, if they are familiar with society usage, will take no offense. Unless a young man is engaged to a young woman or is he¥ brother and hence regards himself us her guardian, he has no right to dictate to her re garding the young men with whom she should dance. At a small private dance, the fact that the young men have been invited by his hostess should be guarantee enough as to their good manners. To suggest to his companion that she should not dance with them would be a discourtesy to the hostess. At a public dance he should Introduce her only to young men he can vouch for, but even if his own worst enemy were present he woul<l have no right to expect her to decline to dance with him.

Perhaps the confusion Is due to the fact that an elementary knowledge of Latin Is needed for the milking of the distinction between the two words. "Audience” means nn ns- semldnge of persons gathered to hear something, since the word Is derived from the Latin verb "uudire" which means to hear. “Spectators" are those who have come together to see something; the word comes from tho Latin "speetare," which mentis to see, to observe. It Is correct, therefore, to spenk of the audience at a concert, and of the spectators at a horse race. An in correct use of the word “audience" is found In the following sentence: "The audience held its brenth while the aviator spun round in the air." T (Copyrtsht.)
