nosis of the Case-Dying Statement
OF Manner OF His Death Given.

julius Radi of Fisher, whose son
died recently as the result of hazing,
has refused to bring the matter before
the grand jury. He made the follow
ing statement:
What would it bring me? My son
is now dead and all the justice in the
world cannot bring him back to me.
If the boys were the cause of his
death l feel sure that their consciences
will punish them sufficiently.
The dying words of Albert was that
he had been whipped by these boys.
that he would never be able to punish
them but that papa would. This he
said lying on his death bed, his last
words In the presence of w. N. Brown,
my neighbor, and myself. He had told
that time, when they were all in
barn near the school, these same boys
made the threat that ii he did they
would thresh him. He nevertheless
told the teacher and at the same time
told him the boys had made the threat
to hurt him and asked his protection
The teacher watched as best he could
and as far as he or any of the schol-
ars know the boys were never seen in
the act, but they made the threat be-
fore many scholars and when he came
home he said he had been whipped.
I'VE called DR.. Hutchinson and he
diagnosed the cause of the death as
appendicitis and the matter rests
right there and always will as far as

the matter up; there were no eye

was the cause of my boys death.

SO is the general public, but the doc

will be taken as law. I will say again

Polk Coanty on.

.
What will certainly change the COM
mercial aspect in the Red river val
ley and put another big industry be-
fore the people will undoubtedly be
the result of the discovery of Oil and
gas, which was made by eastern peo-
pie who own tracts of land in that
section. The discovery was made last
summer but nothing whatever was
said of the matter by the discovers
and since that time they have been
on still hunt getting options on the
entire township. They have had their
agent working in that country the
entire winter and they doubtless have
at the present time the desired op-
ton.
In just what manner the oil and gas
was discovered has not been made
public but the eastern capitalists un-
dOubtedly are certain and have made
all the required tests to assure them
that there are rich oils in the earth
in that section. They are at the pres
ent time waiting to get options on
more land in that section and it is un-
derstOOd that when they get it the
machinery will be shipped at once to
start operations. 1t will not pay
them to start till they had enough
land to assure them of a money max
ing proposition. 1t has been positive
ly stated that the entire outfit is now
ready to be shipped and will start just
as soon as more options on land are
secured. Evidently there are some in
that section that think that they have
good thing and will hang on till
the price is boosted. There are some
who have offered to sell the land but
wish to retain the mineral privileges
which is just what the eastern COM
pany wish to get.
1t is certain that the land is not be-
ing bought for agricultural purposes
as it is generally known that that sec
ton will grow nothing more than
stones which all goes to substantiate
the theory that there is oil and gas
in that section as it is of little value
for anything else. The company is
represented by reliable people in An
gus and there is little doubt but in
the near future that another great in
dustry will be added to the many re-
sources of the Red river valley That
the soil in some places has to GER
tain, extent been exhausted has been
said and in those sections the news of
the discovery of this rich mineral will
be the most welcome kind of news,
for undoubtedly there is more than
one spot in this section that contains
it. and from now on people will be on
the watch out for the greasy stuff.
Not until next summer when the ac-
tive operations are started will the
public be able to know the extent of
the deposit and the value Of 1t. The.
general appearance Of the country
where the oil was discovered has all
the "ear marks" of other places where
the same product has been discovered.
The outcome of the operations
which will be started next summer
will be awaited with interest by the
general public as we'll as those other

FORGET Yourself.

Iarden in Success Magazine

o. S. Marden in Success Magazine
Forget yourself. You will never do
anything great until you do. Self
consciousness is disease with many.
No matter what they do they can never
get away from themselves. They be-
come warped upon the subject OF self
analysis, wondering how they look,
how they appear, what others will
think of them, how they can enhance
their own interests. In other words,
every thought and every effort seems
to focus upon self; nothing radiates
from them
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self-centered. : The sympathies of
the man who thinks only of himself
are soon dried up. Self-consciousness

AN EXHIBIT OF

Poultry FancIers Of the State Will
Have a Fine Display at State Ex.
hibition.
Prominent during che week of the
Grain Growers convention Jan. 16 to
10 inclusive will be the annual show
of the North Dakota Poultry associa-
ton, the twelfth annual exhibition.
The success of past exhibitions has
demonstrated to the officers of the. as

show at this time. 1t affords one of
the very best practical attractions to
be viewed during the convention re-
cesses and during the evening the
poultry exhibit can be studied with
leisure.

N. P. avenue, Fargo, near the corner Of
Broadway for show building. 1t is
the one recently vacated by the N. D.
Harness Co. 1t is spacious and is SO
arranged the best possible display
can be made of the different exhibits.
: AS to being central the location could
not be improved, near to the several
hotels and onl y few steps from the
street car lines.
In addition to the usual member
ship cup premiums for highest scor-
ing birds in the several classes and
highest scoring pens the Commercial
club of Fargo has placed new gold
lined silver cup at the disposal Of
the association as prize.
The judging will be governed solely
by the revised American standard Of
perfection. The entry fees will be as
usual. Information on all points and
copies of the premium list will be sup
plyied by L. D. Caniff, secretary-treas-
urer, Fargo, N. D.
A prominent exhibit this year, but
not in competition, will be one made
by the agricultural college, Fargo. It
will be bigger than usual and will in
clude a line Of experimental breeding
which has been in progress for three
or four years. Sometime during the
last day of the exhibition there will
be an auction sale of pure bred birds.
This feature is an innovation and 1t is
believed 1t will become popular and
the birds will sell strictly on their
merit and scoring record.
The president of the association is
Sam F. Crabbe, Fargo; vice president
G. A. Jordan; secretary, L. ID. Caniff;
superintendent, b. b. Mouck and he
will be assisted by j. q: Peterson. All

CONSUMERS VS.. COMPANY.
Controversy at Ramona Over April
Gas Charges for Heating Stoves.

A controversy has arisen at Ramo-
ma between the consumers and the
gas company that may have a far
reaching effect before it is over, says
the Star. 1t is because of charge
made by the company for the use of
gas in April for heating purposes. The
old company charged for heating
stoves for six months of the year, from
October to April. This year the new
company charges a half rate, $1.OO,
for heating stoves in this month. Con-
sumers naturally object to paying ev-
en- half rate where they have been
paying nothing heretofore. There is
talk that the company, in making this
charge, is violating its franchise, but
the company claims that there is no
provision in the franchise for free
gas at any time, only for church,

school and municipal lighting pur-
poses.
Some patrons refused to pay this
heating charge for April, but tender
ed payment for their cooking stoves
The company refused to take what 1t
considered part payment unless pat
rons would first promise to disconnect
their heating stoves. The company
wants the consumers either to pay
the rate asked or disconnect their
heating stoves so that the gas cannot
be used. The company claims that If
the stoves are allowed to remain con-
nected consumers will be able to use
gas free of charge. The company
saws that it made the half rate be-
cause, while it was not necessary to
keep fire in heating stoves all the
time, there will be part of the month
when a fire will feel comfortable. The
company's position is that if gas is
used the company expects to be paid
for it.
Some patrons paid the rate asked
and some refused. What the outcome
will be remains to be seen.

year and this, and altho suffering from
complication of diseases, was faith
full to her duties, and constant at her
post up to last Friday, when she was
compelled to quit teaching. On last
Wednesday she went to Sapulpa, and
altho il was known she was very i'll,
the announcement of her death was n
great shock to all who knew her.
The deceased was native of Tip
ton, Missouri, where her mother now
lives, and where her remains will be
taken this evening for interment. She
was consistent member of the Bap-
tist church, and n lovely and amiable
character. Her pupils loved her, the
teachers loved her, and all acquainted
with her admired her for her many
gentle and womanly qualities. She
was member of the Order of Eastern
Star, and her fellow members also
went to Sapulpa today to attend the
funeral.
This is the second teacher the pub
lie schools have lost through death this
scholastic year, but their memories
and services will long be precious to
those among whom they so faithfully
labored.

A REVERSAL OF THE CASE.

Joplin papers had great deal to
say about Tulsa being out of Webb
City's class when the three games be-
tween those teams were played there
last week. There was only one score
difference in the three games, yet
Tulsa was outclassed, according to the
keen sporting editors of the mining
town. Yesterday Tulsa took the third
and last game Of the series here, by
II to 2. The other two games were
"a and 80. 1t appears to man up
tree that the case is reversed, and
Webb City is completely out of Tulsa's
class. (Joplin papers please copy.)

ART EXHIBIT A SUCCESS FROM
FINANCIAL STANDPOINT
$l2S PROFIT WAS MADE
Committee Appointed to Select Sub
jects and to Decide Whether to
Buy Framed or Unframed

In the hurry and excitement Of
election week and in the coming Of
the Odd Fellows to Tulsa this week
the work done by the Tuesday Book
Club in stimulating taste for art in
our public school scholars has almost
been forgotten by the public. The
Club has not forgotten, however, and
with the money it obtained through
the Art Exhibit is now preparing to
do something lasting for the child
ren.
The pictures known as the Art
Exhibit hung for week ON the walls
of the high school room in the South
side building and were seen by
great many people in that time. Had
the weather been better than 1t was
many more would have availed them
selves Of the opportunity, but as 1T
was the exhibit was decided sue
cess as may be seen by the follow
ing:
From the tickets sold by the school
children and the number Of people
who paid at the door 1928 was real
lied. From refreshments sold $40
more was taken in, making a total
of $l4S. The rent Of the piano and
other expenses came to 500, which
taken from $l4S leaves $l2S, clear
profit. This sum is now in the treas
1 ury and will be used to purchase
pictures from the firm which loaned
the exhibit. These pictures will be
hung in the school houses and will be
constant inspiration to the pupils.
Two questions are now being con-
sidered by the committee APP
pointed to select the pictures. The
first is, "Is it better to purchase the
pictures without the frames, and
| tlle SccOHu, nat plCiuiVo w P"'
chase" BY buying the frames with
the pictures they will, Of course, get
fewer pictures for the money and
have to pay much more in the way
of freight BY spending the money
for pictures only and getting them
framed in Tulsa will encourage home
industr, and give them more and
perhfps better value for their money.
The pictures alone will cost from
$3.50 to $1,000 each.
The committee to settle these
momentous questions is represented
from the schools, the Tuesday Book
Club and the public, and is as fol-
lows: From the schools Miss May
ginnes and Miss Champion; from the
Club Mesdames j. M. Hall, James
Bowen and Lee Clinton; from the
public Mrs. Townsend, an artist Of
considerable ability.
That these ladies will do what
is best and wisest for the children
and with the money is beyond the
shadow of a doubt.

so FAR NO ONE HAS GUESSED
THE RIGHT FIRM
INTEREST IS INCREASING
More Letters Being Received Hourly
Number of Prominent People
Named but Right One in Doubt

Out of several hundred letters re-
ceived by the Mystery Department"
of the World relative to the advertise
ment now running in the paper con-
tanning the mysterious letters the
right firm has not yet been picked by
anyone. This will be a tip to subse-
quent guessers. You may yet be the
first to guess the proper firm. In
order to give its readers assistance in
the matter, the World will say that
the firm advertising is one Of the
most important in the city; that it
has carried an advertisement in the
World every day since the paper was
established; that it is one of the
oldest stores in the city; and that 1t
believes in advertising. Only two
people know who is represented. They
are the proprietor Of the store and the
advertising manager of the World.
Even the clerks employed by the firm
are unaware of the fact. All con-
cerned will be given an equal oppor-
tunity to win out. There will be no
favoritse play, and the FIRST PER
SON correctly naming the RIGHT
FIRM will be handsomely rewarded
for his ingenuity. The game so far
is Just as it was when it started. The
magic lock is yet unopened, and you
have as good chance as anyone to
be ahead. In another part of the
paper will be found form which you
may use in sending in your guesses.
Get your name in early, as the big
doings will soon be over.
