They are after your coin, and when they
get it that is the last you will see Of it.
Leave it with your home merchant. He
gives it to his clerk or to the newspaper
man, and we all have to live. Perhaps
you will see that dollar within a week
which you paid to your home merchant.
But you may be sure that if you give it
to these rowing parasites, you will not

the best heauy oak furniture, of dark

three choice rugs. A billiard table and
a pool table are provided for the amuse-
ment Of the members. The furniture
and carpet cost about $1,000 and the

A. Carlson from north of Minot brot
a load of wheat to mill which tested 81
pounds and received dollar a bushel
for the same. The wheat averaged 10
bushels per acre. Mr.. Carlson figures
that it cost him about five dollars an
acre to raise it, SO he has S13 to the good
or enough to pay for his land. Where
could he have done this but in North
Dakota?
Work on the extension is going slow
ly, only about three miles have been

that. About 60 cars of ties have been
unloaded here-about enough for the
entire extension. Two or three spurs
have been constructed-Mo Tribune.

Two petitions are being circulated in

few voters went to the polls, and there
was no polling place west of the Yellow

Two silk hat men arrived in Minot
Friday from the east where they had
been bleeding suckers They found the
people of Minot slow to bite, but there
are always people who will trust the
word of a smooth tongued stranger be-
fore they will take the word of bust
ness man whose truth is established.
These men claimed to make suits from
five dollars upwards and perhaps they
would. You must rest assured that
such men are on heavy expense, they are
required to put up at the best hotels and
they are not in the state for their health.

A PROFESSORS QUEER IDEAS ABOUT FOOTBALL
BY HERBERT N. cAss0N,

At last the mystery is explained.
A professor has found out why we
enjoy watching a game of football.
1t is because we are reminded of the
long ages ago when our forefathers
had to run here and there to dodge
the wild animals of the forest.
The name Of the professor is G. T.
w. Patrick. His ideas are published
in the last number of the American
journal of Psychology. 1t is not
likely that the crowds at the football
games will be any bigger or any
smaller because Of what Professor
Patrick says, but his theory is a new
one and rather interesting.
A football game, he says, is moth
ing but an imitation of the most saw
age life It represents lower state
Of human beings than prize fighting
does, because it represents brute
force more than skill.
It shows how the earliest savages
had to fight for their lives withou
any weapons of stone or iron. 1t pic
lures the way that they crouched IN
der bush or behind rock and then
suddenly dashed out and grabbed q
piece of meat from a wolf or from
some other savage.
A game of football IS really a
drama Of savage life, says this pro-
fessor The grabbing and holding
tight of the ball, the race for safety
ne fierce pursuers, the mad scrim-
mage, the crash of one strong body
against another, the limp, motionless
bodies Of the injured players al
| these show how the first savages had
struggle for life in those cruel
ages when there was very little kind
ness and very little reasoning in the
world.
But why are these limitations of The
brutal life of savages so popular al
our colleges where the students are
supposed to be trained out of every
thing that is savage and barbarot
This is easily explained, says Pr
fessor Patrick. What students wan!
is recreation. Recreation means
change. And what greater change
For their minds and bodies can they
Get than a game of football can Civ

them
In football, whether you are play
ing or looking on, all the higher parts
Of the brain are at rest. You becom
a savage. You forget all about books
science, literature, mathematics. en-
gineering, civilization. etc.
The more strenuous and ylolen
the game becomes the more peaceful
" your higher self slumbers and rests
Football gives the "most perfect res
of the higher brain centers. sa.
the professor.
Another question that comes t.
your mind is this: Why do thou
ands of young women, gentle young
women, 90 to football games anc
wave Aags until their hats are croo,
ed and kick the man on the lowe
seat IN the back of the neck?
The answer is. no doubt, that tn
is Just what the wives and daughters
and sisters of the savages used to dc
when the battle for food was going
on III the forests. They stood in the
caves or in the treetoDs and cheered
on their men folks. Very likely they
would run out now and then and
take a hand in the game, when tn
enemy was getting the best of it.
Professor Patrick says that all our
games and sports please us because
they bring "reminiscences of savagery
We do for fun what the savage did
for a living. When we hunt, or fsl
or camp out, for instance, we a.
only doing for fun what all savages
had to do to keep themselves alive.
If this theory is true. then the
people who live in Chicago and Ne
York in 500 years from now will !
making money for fun and diggin
bitches for recreation. The cleveres
men in the country will be building
lskyscrapers just for the amusement
Of putting up a high and dangerous
structure
The college boys Of that time, per
| haps, will be showing their pluck b
hammering red-hot bolts through
iron 9irders. and their relations an6
friends will pay s. ticket to Sc
the sport
