ARBOR DAY.

Governor White has designated
Friday, May 10th, as Arbor Day
and it is sincerely. hoped the OBJ
servance will be general and
thorough throughout the state.
The executive recommends that
"all our people devote the day to
the planting and care of trees and
shrubs about the homes and pub
lie buildings and they cannot do
better than to heed the suggestion.
There is no greater home beauti-
fer than the tree. AS an orna-
ment it is always in good taste, al
ways attractive, if Of the right
variety and properly cared for and
besides it is useful. Its over
hanging branches afford shade
and delicious GOODNESS for man and
beast when all around the earth is
parched by the suns burning rays
and a tsuch a time to repose be-
meath it is a veritable luxury.
Here and there we find a house
built in a small grove and how we
envy the owner, for who would not
have a home in such a retreat?
Few there be who do not love
trees and the rest and security
!! which they afford. In. the sum-
mer they protect us from the daz-
zling light and heat Of the orb of
day, and in the winter they break
the force of the winds and storms,
thus shielding those who put their
trust in them from the fury of the
elements.
We cannot, unfortunately, all
erect our homes in the midst OF
|groves, but we can, if we only will
surround our dwellings with young
trees which in a few years will af-
ford shade and comfort at the
same time that they add value to
the property on which they stand.
Tree planting has been too much
neglected in North Dakota in the
past and anything that has a ten
dency to impress upon u minds
its Importance should be en-
couraged. This is one Of the OBJ
jects Of Arbor Day and the more
fully and earnestly we enter into
the spirit Of its observance the
greater will be the good achieved.
Let us all plant a tree on May
10th.

when all other remedies fail. I can
heartily recommend Peruna as q CO.
tarrh remedy"
The spring is the time to treat ca.
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards a cure of catarrh. If a course Of
Puruna is taken during the earlyspring
months the cure will be prompt and
permanent. There can be no failuresi if
Peruna is takenintelligently during the
favorable weather of spring.
As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicstes catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. 1t cures ca
tarrh Of the stomach OF bowels with the
same certainty as catarrh Of the head.
For q free book containing valuable
advice on the causes and treatment of
catarrh, address The Peruna Medicine

A GREAT DEAD BEAT.

When it comes 10 the payment
of his debts, no matter how they
are incurred, the Sultan Of Tur-
key is indeed a man of words. He
is prolific in promises which he
never fulfils, unless actually COM
PEELED to do SO, and on this ac-
count he has acquired the reputa-
ton of being the greatest dead
beat among all the potentates,
great or small, that exercise sway
anywhere on this mundane sphere,
and he deserves it.
During the American massacres
a number of years since the prop
erty Of American missionaries in
Turkey was destroyed to the
amount Of something like 10000
and ever since that time the
United States government has
been seeking to recover from the
Sultan an indemnity sufficiently
large to reimburse those who sus-
tanned the loss, but thus far the
effort has been in vain. Time and
again his highness of the harem
has agreed to pay, but the money
has neve been forthcoming, and
now everybody except u minis
ter at Constantinople, Mr.. Leish-
man, is convinced that the Sultan
does not intend to pay the claim.
The latter gentleman recently
cabled Secretary Hay that he has
been personally assured by the
Mohamedan ruler hat the money
will be paid over, and the minis
ter adds that he believes the Sui
tan means business this time.
OF course the state department
at Washington reposes no conf
dence in Abdul Hamid's good in
tentions but is Of the opinion that
he has simply been pulling the
wool over the eyes Of the new
American minister. The latter
is inexperienced in the diplomacy
Of the east, and failing doubtless
to take in consideration the fact
that the Sultan is one Of the slick
est rascals on earth, has allowed
himself to be deceived by that
oily individual.
But he cannot delude Secretary
Hay who says he is convinced
that the Sultan has not the reno
test intention of paying the indie
unity, either now or at any future
time, and that a feetof war vessels
ought to be sent to the Bosphorous
to back up the demand. This il
what will have to be done before
the matter is settled, for not unit.

A SAFE INVESTMENT.

Thousands Of lands seekers have
visited North Dakota this spring,
many Of whom have already locat-
ed themselves to their own salts
faction. This has been particular
|ly easy for them to do, for the rea-
son that most any sort Of an op-
portunity a man may look for in
this great state can be found. If
he wants government land there
are thousands of acres that invite
his inspection. If he prefers to
purchase an improved farm rather
than locate on a claim, all that he
has to do is to make known his
desire and then take his choice of
the many bargains that will be
offered him. =
We say bargains and that is
what we mean, for it is undeniably
true that the man who invests in
a farm most anywhere in North
Dakota, and especially in Ramsey
county, at the prevailing prices,
will realize a profit from the trans
action, no matter whether he
keeps the farm and tills it himself,
or sells it later on as a speculation.
If he does the former he will be
sure to realize handsomely on his
investment, if he merely buys for
speculative purposes he is equally
safe, because land in this state is
continually approaching in value.
Viewing the matter in this, it's
only true light, it must ofnecessity
be admitted that there is today no
safer investment than North Da-
kota soil affords. The man who
puts his money in good farm in
this state will not need to worry
about the result. for he cannot
suffer loss. If he crops the land
carefully he will make the biggest
kind Of interest on his money; or,
If not caring to engage in agricul-
ture himself, he keeps the land a
few years, he will be able to sell
it at a big advance on the pur.
chase price. In either event he
will have a sure thing.

The nature of powder is to ex-

properly arranged conditions. So
with the activity of the child,
every muscle and every mental
faculty tingles with the tendency
to function, but on account of the
child's ignorance the functioning
needs guidance-not repression.
Theteacher would find discipline
much easier, and the need of it
very infrequent, if he would con-

There is being manifest an evil
dent determination on the part of
many Democrats to set aside the
leadership Of w. j. Bryan, but it
is not yet in evidence that the
thing can be done. The Nebras-
kan still has a pretty firm grip on
the party reins and may be able
to keep on driving the donkey in
spite IF opposition from those
who think it is time he gave up
the job. Certainly nothing could
please Republicans better than to
have the Democratic party retain
Mr.. Bryan as its leader, for that
would be equivalent to the election
of another Republican president.

There is no better place to grow
flax than Ramsey county where
the soil is peculiarly adapted to
this product. It yields bounti-
fully and in many instances a
single crop has commanded a
price sufficient to pay for the land
on which it was grown. Who
could ask for anything better in
the farming line than that?

The Minnesota state board of
control has come out strongly
against nepotism or the showing
Of undue preference or favoritism
to relatives, in the public service.
The board has adopted resolution
to the effect that after August LIST,
1901, no superintendent or warden
of any institution under the full
control Of the board shall employ
or retain in his employ any rela-
ton, either by blood or marriage,
for any position or duty in his in
stitution, nor shall he employ or
retain in his employ after said date
any person who is related by blood
or by marriage to the head Of the
department, or to the officer to
whom such employee would be di-
1rectly responsible in such institu-
ton. The enforcement Of this
rule will cause a number Of persons
to let 60 of soft snaps, but the
principle is a correct one. The
idea that public institutions are
maintained for the benefit Of a
few families needs smothering in
more states than one and the Min
nesota board Of control has taken
a step in the right direction.

The probability that Russia and
Japan will engage in wal right
away is not great. Each has a
wholesome respect for the fighting
qualities Of the other and neither
is anxious to begin hostilities. AS
to which would triumph in a con
test at arms opinion differs. The
st. Paul Globe a few weeks ago
declared that Japan would win
out ina twinkling, but that was
evidently one Of the Globes one
sided views, for very few people
think that Japan could whip Rus
STA easily; in fact the general be-
lief is chat she could not whip her
at all, Notwithstanding that the
little Japs are willing fighters.
The Bear, it should be borne in
mind, is no mean antagonist, as
whoever next tackles him will
find.
