Americans are known, in whatever

American is never at loss what to do

does he adapt himself to circumstances.
In every instance ne knows how 10 take
care of himself. but perhaps the real
secret OF his success is that he knows
how to make the most OF his oppor-
tunities.
An American student usually realizes
that education is the stepping stone to
achievement. He studies with the ex-
pectation of fitting himself for the pro-
fession or occupation he is ultimately TO
enter He makes the most OF himself as
a student, that he may be able TO make
the most of himself IN his chosen ca
reer.
All through his course of study this
idea is instilled into his mind, and the
consequence is that he leaves his col
lege or university well prepared to enter
upon life's activities. He is sure of
himself.

II MACHINE MERGER.
The Result of the Binder Consolidation
Causes Intense Interest,

For a week or more the consolidation
of the three leading binder manufac-
tories of the country, has formed the
leading topic for conservation in
hotels, and other public and private
places, and hundreds of men now in
the employ Of these companies, have
been holding their breath, awaiting
either their deposition or what evel
changes the merger may bring about.
Local machine men generally are Of
the opinion that three -fourhs of the
solicitors, statesmen will be dismissed,
while others seem to accept the idea
that much worse results may be ex-
pected.
A prominent Fargo business man,
who visited this city Monday, stated
that in Fargo alone at least 400 men
would be effected by the consolidation
and probably more. Other places will
suffer in proportion and the country
awaits with anxiety the disclosure Of
the mystery now surrounding the mer
ger, or better, the international Har
vesting Co.

Nearly every day for the past two
or three months new enterprises have
been added to the business houses of
Devils Lake, and one of the latest is a

been opened in the DeFiore building,

Mr.. Fancher, "for every time I return

ROOSEVELT MAY COME.
The President of The Nation Expected II
Visit the State.

The prospects are good for the citi-
zens of Grand Forks to have the plea
sure Of greeting President Roosevelt
here in the near future, says the Grand
Forks Herald. AS is we'll known he
is to be at the Minnesota exposition in
a short time, and it was therefore
thought timely to follow the sugges-
ton made in the Herald a short time
ago and extend to the president an in
vitation to come t. Grand Forks.
This was done by Mayor Dinnie, and
will be reinforced by invitations from
Senators Hansbrough and McCumber,
Congressman Thomas F. Marshall and
ex-Congressman B. F. Spalding. AS
the two largest cities in North Dakota
can be visited in one day it is very
probable that President Roosevelt will
look upon the invitation favorably and
honor the people Of Grand Forks by a
visit which though brief would be
greatly appreciated. AS the president
was for several years a resident of this
state, greater interest is taken in him
than ordinarily as all feel a certain
personal pride in entertaining him
even for a day. Should he determine
to come, many would come in from
all surrounding points to meet him.
