FUNNY,

Have you eve had a long, weary Sun
day before you-apparently a never
ending day, when nothing imaginable
would provoke n of those full, hearty,
whole-souled laughes from which is de-
rived the old ~favorite adage, Laugh and
grow fat? If such a day comes to you
again and you want a merry laugh for
the pleasure it gives, turn to the Comic
Colored Supplement of the Chicago
Record-Herald's Sunday edition. 1t is
certainly an exterminator of the "blues."
Filled completely with fresh, breezy
jokes and irresistibly comic illustrations
in colors, sparkling with wit and humor
of an entertaining as we'll as attractive
nature, it is a paper to amuse all who see
it. Four pages in colors and four pages
in black-and-white, this-the best COL
ored supplement issued by any metro
politan newspaper-makes the news
paper a combination of a modern Sum
day newspaper and a humorous weekly
colored periodical in colors.
The mechanical work involved in
the making of this colored supplement
is a marvel af skill. The harmonious
arrangements and perfect blending of
the many colors used in its makeup
portrays artistic taste of the highest or
der.

The teachers reports from the south
side are not in vet, so are not included
in this summary.
A glance at the report will reveal the
fact that there were a great many tardys
for the enrolment. The principal holds
that there is little or no excuse for tardi-
ness. Boys and girls should learn the
lesson OF promptnes early in life. We
hope to submit a better report for the
second month.

We have just received a copy of the
Westland Educator with the

school has been put on the regular COM
plimentary list. The paper is quite an
addition to our reading table and we are
thankful for it.

Fargo, and his squaw, won first money,
and Mayor McGillie of Mandan and his
squaw, second prize.
In sheep the showing of Rambouillets
made by Burnham Bros. and Wickham,

any of the big fairs. These sheep are

Fargo Forum: One superintendent,
who deserves unstinted prazie, was Miss
Isabel Clark who was the responsible
head of the woman's department. Her
department was full to overlooking and
it showed that she succeeded in sur
rounding herself with a number of in
tensely enthusiastic colleagues in differ
ent parts of the state, among them Mrs.
Tom Sloan of Fargo and Mrs. R. b.
Turner, the talented and enterprising
wife of the state commissioner of agri-
culture and labor. In this department
there were pieces Of tapestry made by
Mrs. Lydia Richards of Dickinson,
which were protected and insured for
$500.

Fav0rs Primary Election Low.

Editor Fally of the Wahpeton iGlobe
has been looking over the results Of the
new primary election law in Minnesota
and sums up the matter as follows:
"A good deal of bad blood was put in
to circulation through Minnesota con-
mary election. In several of the dis
tricts the result came as a surprise, and
men unknown to the public gathered in
the nominations. Congressman Tawney,
McCleary, Stevens and Fletcher were
nominated, but in the other five districts
new men were successful. ]. Adam
Bede, who has been making so much
fun and noise throughout the Duluth dis
trict, had a walkaway when his defeat
was predicted, while Bowling and VAL
%entine, whose friends had them almost
unanimously nominated, were defeated.
Both were defeated by lawyers, promi-
nent in their W communities, but en-
tirely unknown outside. Volkstead, who
defeated Bowling, vas little heard of
during the fight, but he had a large
number of friends, made a house-to-house
canvass and landed in the nomination.
In the ninth district there were five can
didates, and it is claimed that Mr.. Com.
stock of Moorhead became a candidate
at the last moment in order to defeat
Valentine, taking the Clay county vote
from him. The Breckenridge Telegram
expresses decided feeling against Com
stock and Grindland. The principal
newspapers of the state favor a continu-
ance of the primary law, and while it has
its defects Still they see in it great i'm
provement I'VE the old convention sys-
tenn. The action Of the next legislature
with reference to the law will be awaited
with interest. The idea of direct nomi.
nation is growing in popularity with the
farmers, and their silent votes is what
did the business for the prominent"
candidates in the Minnesota districts"

lreland's Population Decreasing.

The present census of Ireland shows
a marked decrease in its population,
which has been largely attributed to the
famine throughout the island, causing
the death Of thousands of people and
forcing many others to emigrate. This
brings to mind quite forcibly the abso-
lutte necessity Of having plenty Of good
food if we would prolong life, but after
all it is not a question Of the amount eat
en- that makes the people strong and
healthy, but the way it is digested. Dys-
and consequently always feel depressed,
irritable and nervous They should try
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters at once.
1t il: a specific remedy for Aatulency,
belching, indigestion, dyspepsia and
nervousness, and is backed by a record
of fifty years Of cures.

CHEAP FUEL SUPPLY.

NORTH DAKOTA LACKS FORESTS
OF CONSIDERABLE EXTENT,
BUT HAS COAL IN QUANTITIES.
Ignite UNDERLIES A LARGE
PART OF THE WESTERN POR-
TON OF THE STATE-EASILY
MINED.
The fuel question is an important one
in any country, unless it be in the trop-
les, and is especially so all over the
northern part of the United States, as
we'll as Canada, Northern Europe and
Asia. Even in this balmy North Dakota
climate artificial heat is sometimes a
convenience during some portion of the
year. Unfortunately for this state, the
cold weather attributed to North Dakota
by residents of other sections has been a
great bugbear to prospective home.seek-
ers, and has doubtless deferred thou
sands from locating here, not knowing
that North Dakota has one of the grand
est climates to be found anywhere, says
The Grand Forks Herald. North Da-
kota residents have long ago discovered
that ample provision has been made for
equalizing the temperature by a gener-
Gus supply Of fuel. And not only so,
but the fact has been demonstrated that
this state has not only fuel enough to
supply its W people, but, if necessary,
to also furnish the worlds needed sup
ply ior a thousand years or more. In
deed, one-third of the vast area OF the
state may be rightly termed an undevel-
oped coal mine containing unlimited
millions of tons of coal ready for use.
North Dakota's "treeless plains" have
probably kept thousands of settlers from
locating in the western part of the state,
who came from timbered aegions, not
knowing that a few feet below the soil of
these same "treeless plains" is an mex
haustable coal supply. The settler in
many favored sections of the western
part OF the state may secure all the fuel
he needs during his natural lifetime
without cost by shoveling off the surface
soil from some hill on his land.
Coal mining in North Dakota is still i n
its infancy. For years the value of our
Ignite coal was scarcely appreciated by
our own citizens, outside of the western
portion of the state, where it has been i IN
general use for years. its use in the
eastern part of the state has increased
1000 per cent in the past ten years.
Within the past year several new mines
have been opened and it may be safely
stated that within the next ten years
North Dakota will not only be practical.

the way of fuel, but will be shipping to

analysed by Prof. E.J. Babcock of the
state university, showed the following
results:
North Dakota coal is successfully
competing With anthracite and bitumin-
Gus coal from the east. 1t retails in
Minneapolis for 1915 per ton and in Far
go for s3.25 per ton. In the western part
of the state it is sold from s1.5o to s7.25
per ton. People who have learned to
use it prefer it to wood or eastern coal,

The mails are flooded now with
catalogues of cheap supply houses
in the cities which are trying to
get orders for winter supplies
from ranchmen, farmers and resi-
dents of Dickinson. And this is
not all. Flattering advertising
propositions reach the country
editors desk. The Washburn
Miner, like the PRESS, proposes
to stand by the home merchant.
1t says
This week the Miner received
a copy of a large advertisement
from a St. Paul grocery supply
house and a check accompanied
the order for an amount double
the price charged our regular ad-
vertisers. From a business stand
point The Miner is entitled to
publish such advertisements, as
our columns are open to all le-
ultimate business propositions,
but in the past we have urged our
readers to patronize home institu-
tons, believing that money spent
at home finds a circulation within
our own community and a benefit
to all. Our home merchants buy
produce, pay taxes and are reli-
able business men and merit the
patronage of the home people.
For this reason we refused to in
sert the advertisement of F. R.
Yerxa Co., and while we are out
of pocket a few dollars. yet we
presume that the home merchants
will appreciate the fact to the ex-
tent of advertising more literally
in the future than in the past. So
long at the merchants of Wash
burn give the Miner a just share
of their patronage we shall refuse
the advertisements of Twin City
merchants who desire to compete
with them. This has been a pros
porous year in North Dakota, and
especially on the Missouri slope,
and the cheap supply houses are
after the money. The people of
Mclean county should not forget
those who have stood by them
when conditions we're not so ia
vorable and when they were
forced to ask for credit"

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars

a NEIGHBoRlNG city has a griev.
ance and calls on the city council
for action. Dickinson has the
same grievance and the city coun-
Gil is the only power behind the
tobacco splitter here. The Palla-
dunn says
"Sincet the innovation of the neat
looking and clean cement paving
in this cicy, some of the most un-
cultured, who use tobacco as a
gum cud, appear to take much
pleasure in making unsightly
spots on the sidewalks. Those
who congregate in knots at cor
r and cover their lounging
spots with the unsavory and dis
gushing looking specks, afford la
dies much annoyance while pass
ing. Exhibit some respect for la
dies, if you possess none for your
selves. Storekeepers who have
the front of their premises thus
despatched have good grounds
or soiled ones-to kick on. It's
now up to the city council for &C

Col. plummcr addressed the
C'ss county republican conven-
ton and made the following per-
tiocnt remarks concerning the
campaign for governorship.
The opposition is making an
unfair fight on Governor White.
They are bringing all their bat
terics to bear on him. But he
has faced batteries far more dead
~ tHln those of the mixed multi
tuac training under the name of
Domocracy-and has faced them
O.dNciy. Our opponents are
bowling about the merger. That
IS not an issue in this campaign.
1t IS now in the courts. where it
is to be fought out. 1t was takeu
tilure by the action of President
Roosevelt. Governor Whites &C.
zion in the taxation of railroads
shows that he stands with the
people-not the corporations.
Ills military record in the Philip
pines is a splendid one. 1t reflects
honor on him and on the great
state which sent to those far-off
islands to maintain the authority
OF this republic, according to Gen.
Lawton, the bravest and best
men that were engaged in that
campaign. The boys who served
under White are scattered all ov-
or this state. They are enthusias.
tic in his praise. While they were
serving their country, in the Ori.
cnt, Major White acted like a ia.
ther to them. All of them who
can vote, will vote for him. &c

state, and you won't find one O

who is not now an enthusiastic
campaigner for Frank White. HI

made an excellent governor-the
state ought to be proud of him
and I predict that he will be tri-
umphantly reelected. The dem
agogues, who ri opposing him,
will be surprised. l appeal to all,
regardless of party affiliations, to
vote tor this man, who, in the
prime of manhood, went forth to
lead a gallant band of North Da-
kotans to fight for the honor of
"Old Glory" in the jungles of the
Philippines-won the love and
devotion of the men who served
under him-returned to the walks
of civil life-was elected govern
or-proving himself to be as great
in peace as in war. No Republi-
can should vote against Frank
White. He is every way worthy
of the heartiest support of the
people of North Dakota. 1t
speaks volumes in his favor to
say that his soldiers all love him.
You old veterans of the civil war
can understand, when you recall
your soldier life. How often have
you been made to feel the petty
tyranny from those who we're
placed over you. There was none
of that about your courageous,
gallant and able standard bearer
