Foundation Not Solid.

Denton Rccord-Chronicle.
The greatest trouble that con-
fronts the youth of today is the
tendency TO shun the slow path of
practicability. The quick road to
fame and fortune is more attractive
but the foundation is builded on a
snow foundation and will not stand
the heat and trials of life.

From what could learn, the cap

eye notes fitting look of embarrass-

that perhaps. after all, Smithers is
more deeply interested in the fortunes

The Kansas Wheat Belt.

The farmers of the wheat belt, on
the whole, seem to be about the hap
piest agriculturists to be found. The
rapid growth of the western counties
into the gigantic wheat-producing sec
ton that 1t now is has offered ample
opportunity for all the farmers of
managing ability to build up moderate
fortunes and acquire large tracts of
land. These they have adorned with
splendid homes, orchards and shade
trees, and have stocked with fine cattle
and good breeds of all domestic stock.
The wheat belt is also "the greatest
grass land on the earth" That is, ma
tive grass grows there in profusion.
and 1t makes the best grazing of any
grass crop. All these things have en-
abled the progressive farmers to
surround themselves with everything
that goes to make rural life delightful.

FOR AN AUDITORIUM
Judge BaziIIe Names Commit.
tee to Secure Subscriptions

The first real work for the build
ng of an auditorium will be start
ed today. In accordance with the will
OF the committee of 212 Judge E. w.
Bazille yesterday appointed a commit
tee of the following named we'll known
business men who will be delegated
with the authority of naming another
committee that will have the authority
and power to go out among the people
of St Paul and solicit funds for build
ing an auditorium: d. r. Moves, r. A.
Kirke, A. II. Lindeke, Z. A. Young, Geo.
Benz, John l. II. Field, William Rhodes,
+. G. StriDger, Phil HerZog, Judge +.
w. Bazille and William Hamm.
This advisory committee will I'M
doubtedly be forced to name almost its
entire membership on the funds COM
mittee, as the entire thought of the
committee of 212 was that just such
men would be necessary to solicit the
subscriptions for the proposition.
Several of the gentlemen named have
expressed not only their willingness to
solicit pledges, but they have also NAM
ed the sum that they would be willing
to contribute toward such a project
AS a majority of the committee claim
that there will be enough money pledg-
ed for building an auditorium before
two weeks have passed by, the people
are beginning to congratulate them
selves on the fact that the fiftieth an
niversary of the incorporation of the
city of St Paul will be celebrated by
the laying of a corner stone for an au-
ditorium.
