PRESIDENT WORST
Will Address the Farmers Institute. Much Interest
in This Meeting Already Manifest.

Those having in charge the farmers
institute which is to be held in Dickinson,
report the outlook as very encouraging.
AS noted in these columns last week, it
will be held Friday and. Saturday, June,

donated the use Of the opera house and
as the building is rather dark in the day
time, arrangements have been made
with Mr.. Dieters to have it lighted dur
ing the sessions, thus making it much
pleasanter for the speakers and audience.
The PRESS is pleased to announce that
President Worst of the agricultural col
lege has, by special request, kindly con-
sented to speak at the Dickinson meet
ing. Pres. Worst requires no intreduc-
ton to any of the older residents of the
state. HeChad several years experience
in farming in Emmons county before
being called to the legislature and to the
chair of the lieutenant-governor. He has
been president Of the college eleven
years and in that time has seen the at

Those Roosevelt Ponies,

Every little while some one bobs up
serenely and claims to have the original
Roosevelt ponies. A short time ago O.
g. Major of Hope made the claim, and
l T. M. Hadwin of Yule came out in print
a few weeks later and claimed that
Major was in error and that he had the
ponies at his ranch in Billings county.
! In one way, probably, these gentlemen
were right in their claims, for great num-
bers Of Maltese Cross horses, formerly
owned by President Roosevelt, have
been sold in various parts of North Da-
kota and other states. They simply have
one or more of the horses formerly
owned by President Roosevelt, claim
that could be made by dozens Of men.
When Theodore Roosevelt closed out
his ranching interests he left four horses
with his manager, S. M. Ferris, at
Medora, with instructions that they
should not be sold to any person. The
horses are quite old now, and two of them
either died or were stolen some years
ago, leaving two still in Mr.. Ferris,
charge. These horses will be kept by
the presidents old manager as long as
they live. 4, 1s rs
So when some person in the Red

claim that he is the owner of President
Rooseyelt'sipet saddle horse, tell him
that there are any number Of men in
Stark and Billings counties who are en-
titled to the same claim, because at some

depth, and prospects for grain crops
were never better. The conditions could
not be more ideal. The softened condi-;

Life. Highest achievement.

It has been said that success consists
In getting that at which one aims, and
being happy in it. Each one should
have an ideal Of what is to be the ex-
preston Of his or her life. If this is at
tained in some degree such life may
be called successful. Hence, the sue
cessful man or woman is the one who
has succeeded fairly well in shaping
the actual life in accordance with the
ideals Of life. This requires strength
and persistence that call for continual
struggle. It forms the highest achieve
ment Of life. Bulwer well says that the
man who succeeds above his fellows is
the one who early in life clearly dis

Hints to Public Speakers.

Never refer pityingly to the poor.
This brands you at once as a dema.
gogue. Never say anything respectful
Of corporate wealth. In so doing you
lay yourself open to the charge Of be-
ing hired man.
Never use slang If you want respect
able people to take stock in you. New
er use pure English. The masses hate
priggishness.
Never talk straight to the point. You
will be accused Of taking yourself too
seriously. Never tell funny stories.
They lead to the suspicion of chican-
cry.
Never praise "our forefathers." An
cestry pride is disgusting. Never ap-
peal to the sturdy immigrant leaven
in our midst" It riles the old families.

our estimate last week OF 90 per cent loss
in young lambs is probably low enough.
Many OF the growers were not equipped
withstre good lumber sheds that they
should have had and while they were
comparatively safe for an ordinary day
or two Of rain, they could not hold out
and save young lambs in, a two weeks
storm.
There will also be some loss among
inferior herds of cattle, but the good
native stock that had been we'll wintered
have been able to stand the cool, wet
weather.
E Our sheepmen in particular, and all
stocknen, must now see the wisdom Of
running smaller focks and herds and
giving their animals Better care.

One of the burning questions in the
female world during the spring time is
that of the wardrobe to be prepared for

woman has. not been accustomed to trav-
cling is she fearful of being unprepared

ances in strange city who may criticise
her clothes. The New Idea Woman's

lem in an article on dThe Travellers
