Healthful and Invigorating.

Linton Record:-Talk aboutyour
weather! If there is q country on
earth where they have more health
full and invigorating weather than
the Missouri slope of North Dakota
is getting at this time, we have
never heard of it. Talk about your
Florida and your California! Who
would want to live in a region where
one could never see snow or ice
no sleigh rides, no skating parties,
nothing but perpetual summer, or
late in the spring or early in the
fall. Day after day we are having
the bright sunshine, with Just
enough cold to keep the ground
frozen-no slush, no mud, no sleet.
It may be all right in Florida and
California, but you'd have to hunt
awhile here to linda man or woman
from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, IL
linois, Iowa OF some other section
of the Middle West who doesn't
prefer our winter climate to that Of
the winter climate he or she came
from.

The newspaper is for everybody,
and hence must publish something

The newspaper is for everybody,
and hence must publish something
for everybody. If you see some
thing which is Of little interest to
you, remember that there are 9TH
ers, and the entire paper is not es-
pecially printed for you. The very
thing that is dull and uninteresting
to you may be the best thing in the
paper for some reader, and other
readers have just as good a right to
be pleased as you have. There are
whole pages in the daily papers
that are Of no interest to us, but
they are to others. A paper which
contained nothing but such matter
as would interest anyone or another
of us, would have a limited number
of readers. It should be remem-
bered that there are many people of
many minds.-N. D. Independent.

What did they do last year?
In short, will they do anything

An Eastern Pipe Story.

"The unexpected snow and early blizzard which visited Arizona and New Mexico a few days ago has rid that country of thousands of Gila monsters and other poisonous lizards" said J. R. Alexander, of Las Vegas, N. M. "and the odd thing about it is that they seem to have committed suicide. saw hundreds of their bodies lying around. turned black as if stung by some other poisonous reptile or the victim of their own venom.
 "The oldest inha abitants have never seen anything of the sort be- fore. and it is the common opinion down there that the disappointment of the unexpected cold swept a wave of suicidal impulse through the ranks of the Hazard population There is no apparent reason why they should not have sought shelter and hibernated. It is natural fol the species to become torpid when the temperature is very hot and hibernate when it is very cold.
 "Prof. Givoni Maritell, a scientis of Naples, Italy, who was witness of the phenomenon, suggests that il the cause of the suicidal passion be positively discovered it may b, utilized to eliminate the dread o, the monster entirely from tht region of the Gila river, where the inha bitants live in terror. of it, New York Herald.

 And about riding a wheel of fortune, COW catchers, smoke stacks and a whistle to Utah, we do believe you can do all of that be- cause you say you have. We also helieve you are small enough to ride yellow bubble in a slop jar.
 Now, M B, we girls think you are no "Goode" Adam was made from dust, and as God looked on nim, He said you are not worth \-dam," so He created woman from rib, which goes to show woman is ,uperior to man.
