caiy Eight Months Old and Can Walk

Denver, Col.-Eight months old and

lar development of the arms and
shoulders that he can balance himself
on his hands and with heels in the
air proceed across the room-these
are few of the remarkable physical
characteristics of the infant son Of
MIR. and Mrs. William Schnars.
Baby Schnars is no bigger in the
aggregate that most other infants of
eight months of age, but the liga-
ments and muscles are as tiny cords
of steel He can swing from cane
held in the hands of his sire with
the ease and grace of trained
trapeze performer. And when this
strong-arm baby takes notice of some
thing on the table particularly at

the table and raises himself by climb

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Schnars are alb

physical culture for the building up
and proper development of the human
body, and their theory is that the
earlier these exercises are undertaken
the better for the development of the
individual such exercises are intended
to benefit With an eye single to the

minor positions. In lieu of American
and English teachers, the Japanese
are being employed to teach western
learning, and in some cases the Eng
lish language.
The pidgin' English which is
taught by some of the Chinese schol-
ars would indeed be laughable were it
not for the fact that the introduction
of the English language may possibly
become general, and. If so. may carry
with it the Introduction of western
civilization.
An indication pointing to the influ-
ence of Japan in China is found in the
fact that II 900 Chinese students are
now in Toxic striving to secure from
the government institutions and pri-
vate schools the western learning.
The Manchoo court has always been

their daughters.

Plain Speeches Made.

Several plain and vigorous speech
es were made. They were app,auded
enthusiastically and the organization
of all the wards in the city at the
close of the meeting. was due to the
inspiring speeches made.
Attorney J. G. Miller. the Rev. Cal
win Thompson, pastor of the First
Baptist church, Mr.. Joe Potter. Mr..
Gus Singleton and the Rev. G.. w.
Banks. pastor of Trlmble street
church, spoke in the order named.
Attorney Miller said this is a
movement in which every man. ire
spective of his private character
must be interested. He told of the
effect on children of permanent places
of evil; said that bawdy houses can
not be maintained without a constant
influx of new victims supplied out of
our homes; that some men are able
to do evil only because others do
good for the moment all became
evil, utter ruin and confusion would
result. He said colony of criminals
IL left to themselves, would evolve
some sort of government out of sheer
necessity, and that our government
organized for protection, must be
maintained do we set aside a
spot for horse thieves to have as their
own, or murderers? How then do

able and necessary. He said that
men and women are on the same
moral plane. His speech was APP
plauded and was strong appeal for
a moral awakening
Mr.. Joe Potter in his usual force
ful style told how Judge Reed had
aided the movement and had done
what numerous other officers had
never done. lie urged not only a
house-c,eaning in the one subject be-
for the meeting, but a general moral
cleanup.
Mr.. Gus Singleton responded to
calls for a speech and said he stood
for the right. His remark that a
"one-eyed constable and crippled
justice OF the peace could clean up
the town was vigorously applauded.

The Grand Forks Herald, among it's
people you know" publishes a
characteristic picture of Senator Jerry
Bacon, proprietor Of the Hotel Da-
cotah, and one of the active business
men of the city of Grand Forks. Mr.
Bacon has prospered, not alone in the
political field, but in the world of
business. and is another example of
the energetic young man, who has
made a comfortable fortune in North
Dakota solely through his own efforts.
Mr.. Bacon has been a well known
figure in legislative circles for several
years. He is a frank, outspoken,
loyal and capable gentleman, and is
always loyal to the interests of the
city of Grand Forks. He is a good
fighter, a charitable winner and a
good natured loser and the city of
Grand Forks is fortunate in number
ing such men among it's "people you
know"
