Good Thing.

Havana Record: The National Pro-
tective Legion, a newly instituted lodge
in Havana, recently paid it's first div
idend to one of its members. This check
was issued to John M. Jennings amount
ing to $250.0O The cost to him was 81
a month for 60 months, or total of
$12o; making difference of $130 which
was the earnings of his $12O. This GER
tainly speaks we'll for the order and is
an inducement for others to do like
wise. The membership of the Havana
Legion has reached the fifty mark and
new members are being taken in near
ly every meeting. They received their
new parapharnalia this week that cost
the order $3.50. This places the order
as one of the best equipped and most
progressive in the country.

No state official is deserving of higher
praise for the way he has conducted the
affairs of his Office than our present
superintendent of public instruction,
Hon. w. l.. Stockwell. He has brought
the educational interests of the state to
standard not before equalled in North
Dakota. He is man to whom even
the presidents and teachers of our state
educational institutions can look to
with pride and in whom the teachers of
the public schools have the greatest
confidence. He takes a great interest
in pedagogic work, and aims to keep in
the front of the procession. Whatever
may be done by the Republicans at
Jamestown, the schools of the state can
ill afford to part with the man who has
brought the schools to their present
state of efficiency and one who has the
esteem and confidence of the profession.

Litchville Bulletin: Congressman
Marshall 'the man who does things is
the logical candidate for United States
senator. In introducing and advocat-
ing the free alcohol bill he has done
more for the people than the other
North Dakota congressman and SEN
ators. That law clips the claws of the
Standard Oil trust and at the same
time will furnish a great and growing
market for grains and produce that
North Dakota farmers raise. Marshall

Souvenir of Alcohol Bin,

Hankinson News: Representative
Marshall is to get souvenir of the free
alcohol fight in the shape of an au-
tographed photograph of the president
signed with the pen he uses to approve
the free alcohol bill. Representative
Hill, of Connecticut, is to furnish this
pen and is to retain it as his souvenir
of successful campaign. Hill was the
active friend of the measure in the
interest of the manufacturers, and
Marshall was the leading representa-
tive Of the farmers of the country.

While there is not any contest on at
primaries, only the Republican ticket
being in the field, it behooves every
voter to go to the polls on the nine
teenth of June and register his decision.
The primary election is on trial in this
state. The men who opposed a whole
some primary election law at the last
session of the legislature are looking
for excuses to kill the law, and a small
vote this year will help in doing it. If
the present law covered the nomination
of state officials what an interesting
chapter there would be in state politics
after the 10Th. The Times wants to see
comprehensive primary law enacted at
the coming session of the legislature.
We want to pick our man for governor
when we go to the primaries as we'll as
our man for county sheriff or treasurer.
The law is away ahead of the caucus
and convention system, if the people
will only get out and vote. Remember
June 10Th and vote. It will assist in
the extension of the primary election
law.

HIGH SCHOOL TURNS
OUT A GOOD CLASS
From Page One.
From Page One.

light haired, blue-eyed baby was born,
Earl Stanton Ramharter. He lived
there ten years entering school at six
years of age. In April 1899 his parents
moved to Oakes. He entered the fourth
grade and has remained in the school
since then. Earl is an apt and diligent
student, he expects to go to college, but
has not decided yet what profession he
will follow. Earl is quite an athlete
but, is little too slow, to always catch
his hat.
One of the three in the class, which
started in the pansy class and has COM
pleted the course is Frank Longfellow
Bush. He was born twelve miles south
west of Oakes at the large town, Port
Emma, in August 1890. He started to
attend the Oakes school at six years of
age. He lived on a farm four years,
but has lived in town since then.
He is Presbyterian, buthas no politics
SO he says. In school the studies which
he likes best are general history and
physics. He has not fully decided what
he will be after leaving school but
thinks he will be an engineer. AL
though Frank has not lived on farm
very still-the Barnes have a
great attraction for him. The quota
ton "What should a man do but be
merry seems to be we'll suited to
Franks idea Of life.
Jessie Vincent Mitchell, is quites mall
of stature, but not of mind. She has
gray eyes and light Brown hair and a
face that is fair and good to look upon.
Jessie was born at Werner, Sargent
County, North Dakota, September 2,
1890. She attended the Werner school
until her parents moved to town in the
fall of 1903. She entered the Oakes
school in the ninth grade, and has now
finished the three years of high school.
Jessie is a brilliant student, she is an
American, "a republican-and Presby-
terian, and true to all of them:
The youngest member of the class is
David Adams. His birthplace was at
Beresford, South Dakota on farm
March 81, 1890, which was his home for
thirteen years, three years ago they
moved from there to farm two miles
west of Oakes, which is his home at
present. You see by this that David
was also Torn and raised on farm as a
large percentage of the class have been.
David is going to the Grand Forks
University but has not decided what
course of study he will persue yet. 1
think David's teachers will have pleas
anter remembrances of him than some
of the rest of us, for his perfect recita-
tions and department.
l think perhaps by this time you have
a fair conception of the knowledge and
brilliancy~of your humble servant so
will leave you guess at her history.

PLYMOUTH BINDER TWINE'

Is made of bright clean
fibre, is Of uniform thickness
and weight, and furnishes
the greatest possible number
of feet to the pound, thus it
will be seen that although
the Plymouth is sold for
about the same as other
brands, it actually costs
more to make, and by using
it a farmer gets a larger re-
turn for his money.
Many farmers have said, Had
they known they Plymouth binder
twine was sold in Cakes, they would
have purchased nothing else as the
Plymouth twine was worth more and
gave better service than any other
tWine made" In view of the above
fact am making this announcement
early SO that any farmer may have
the opportunity to have the Plym-
mouth. Sold only by

Some of the Alum Baking Powders
!: Offered by GrOcers.

Some of the Alum Baking Powders
Offered by drocers.
As is we'll known, the laws of most
states require all baking powders made
from alum to show that fact on their
labels.
It is not always that the manufac-
turers comply with the law, or if they
do in technical way the terms used
are not ineligible to the average con-
sumer.
For instance ''basic aluminium sui
Iphate" is nothing more or less than
"alum"
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
official reports of the Food Commits
sioners or from the report of the U.
rs. Agricultural Department at Wash
ington, or other equally reliable author
ity:
60 BAKING POWDERS CONTAINING ALUM:
Calumet Baking Powder Co., Chicago
K e ................Co Contain Alum.
Jaques Mfg. Co., Chicago
PALACE. ...... Contains Alum.

The housekeeper should bear in mind
that alum costs but two cents pound
while cream of tartar costs thirty. The
quality of the powder is therefore u.s.
ually indicated by the price.

to be absolutely noncontagious where
the yellow fever mosquito is lacking.
Dr. Carroll discusses the subject IN
all of its bearings, arriving at these
conclusions:
Consequently. although on account of
its minute size no one has ever been able
to identify the organism Of yellow fever
either in human blood or tissues, or in the
mosquito, we feel justified in regarding
1t as an obligate animal parasite If they
be correct 1t can not maintain its vitality
in water. in soil nor in any other material,
no matter how badly they may chance to
have been contaminated. Experience and
experiments have shown that such is act
ually the case; that dead bodies can be
freely handled and dissected by nonim-
munes without danger; that nonimmune
persons may live in intimate contact with
the garments, bedding and clothing used
and soiled by yellow fever patients, under
the same conditions and in the same eli
mate where yellow fever has prevailed,
and suffer no inconvenience. And, further,
it has been shown by the French commits
sion that this organism fails TO survive
In blood, most excellent culture medium,
after 1t has been kept for forty-eight
hours under ordinary conditions. This I'M
doubtedly proves the inability of the or
ganism to maintain it's vitality in filth or
decomposing organic matter"
In conclusion he said that the story
of Havana and New Orleans, and the
evidence already brought forward by
Guiteras and the French, German, and
marine hospital service commissions
should render any further contention
for the well-proved fact that without
the agency of mosquitoes there can
be no yellow fever, unnecessary and
altogether super1uous.

Tunnelinu Berinq Strait.

A French engineer, Loicq de Lobel,
and German capitalists, have come to-
eether, so the cable says, for the pur-
pose of constructing a railroad tunnel
between Alaska and Siberia. The
scheme has been approved by the Rus
sian government, which strangely
enough had time to take its eyes off
the revolutionaries long enough to
consider it. The approval of this coun-
try does not seem to be considered
necessary.
At East Cape a tunnel thirty-six
miles long would link the two CONT
nents together very cozily and secure
ly, and the depth of water is not so
great as to be a serious obstacle to the
digging or use of a tunnel. 1t ranges
from twenty to thirty fathoms.
But Russia has other fish to fry at
present. There is, however, no hurry
in the development of connecting lines
at either end of the proposed tunnel.
The entire project will be carried out,
but the century will be much older
ian it is at present before passengers
or freight are booked under Boring
Straits. The proposed tunnel will be
built, but just when in the present
century it will be built no one can
at present say. A reorganized Russia
and a developed Alaska will precede
the construction of the Boring tunnel.

The Business Situation.

Henry Clews in his Wall street letter
of Saturdays date says:
Monetary conditions are gradually i'm
proving. Currency is returning more
freely from the interior and bank aver
ages are rising. There has been ire
mendous increase in the circulating me-
dunn of the country, but this is still
actively employed in legitimate business
transactions, both at the east and In the
west. In the interior the return move
ment is somewhat delayed by the ten
dency of farmers, both south and west,
to hold on to their crops. The latter are
being marketed from thirty to sixty days
later than usual the improved financial
standing of the farmer and is confidence
in securing good prices explaining this
delay. Ultimately funds thus withheld
must return to interior centers and then
to New York, promising easier monetary
conditions after April than now exist.
Whether this return movement will oc-
cur in time to relieve the usual strin-
gency about the first of April or not re-
mains to be seen, and so far as the money
market is concerned 1t is not likely to
be out Of the woods until after that pc
riod. Gold exports have already set in,
and promise to continue, but these cause
no serious uneasiness, and will not until
they assume much larger proportions. At
present our foreign trade movement Is
exceedingly satisfactory, the excess of ex-
ports over imports for the month of De-
cember amounting to $685. 900. compared
with only S4S,0O0,0O0 excess the same
month last year. 1t was the largest De-
cember on record for both imports and
exports. the total imports during the
month being $1O1,OOO,OOo and the total ex-
ports amounting to almost s199,000'000.
year ago the imports for December were
$96, 900 900 and the exports $145,00o,0O0. This
enormous increase of $4,000, 900 in exports
was an extremely satisfactory feature.
and explains why gold exports have not
been as large as at one time feared.
Business conditions throughout the
country continue eminently satisfactory.
In the west there is constantly increas-
ing growth and activity and the same
is true at the south. Both of these sec
tons are as optimistic, if not more So
than the east. In scarcely any depart
ment of industry are there signs of over
production or reaction.

ROOSEVELT MAY RUN AGAIN.
VIII Be Candidate Unless He Wins
Against Money Power.

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Toledo, Ohio, January 1s.-'If duty de-
manded Roosevelt to continue his fight he
would do it. I know he does not want to
become candidate for another term, but
at the bottom of his heart he believes
in the people, and will fight for them"
Thus spoke Jacob A. Riis. in an inter-
view today in answer TO the question::
Suppose Roosevelt's fight against the
money power is not finished in 1882
War, which may last three. five or ten
years. is on with special privileged inter-
ests on one side and the people on the
other" said Mr.. Riis. 1T would wipe out
partisanship in parties. the first indica-
lions of which will be seen at the con-
gressional elections in 1907"
This is the greatest struggle of all. 1t
is the fight against the money power, the
organized special privilege grabbers, and
Roosevelt will lead the people to victory.
Roosevelt is fighting the greatest ty-
rant of them all Slavery affected only
the south. but the money power means
the enslavement of all human beings
and all homes. The product of human
this means slavery of the entire human
race. When itecomes to a question of
Righteousness and unrighteousness you
know where the President stands"
This was said apropos the suggestion
that party lines would be wipeo out in
this fight.
"Outwardly party lines will be main
tanned, but it would not surprise me to
see partisanship disregarded entirely" re-
piled Riis. This is not a political fight
It is a struggle between the people and
the money power
"The peculiar thing to me is that the
money power doesn't see it is waging a
losing fight.
"They will see it, though, when the
congressional and senatorial campaigns
begin next fall. Representatives who
misrepresent their constituents and rep
resent special privileges Will hear from
their constituency.
"The people are with Roosevelt, and
each succeeding campaign will only in
trench him the stronger in his position
by electing the kind of men who represent
the people.
II don't say that all people who diff
fer with Roosevelt are crooks" he added
People who honestly differ with agree
with him in the end, but all the crooks
differ with Roosevelt all the time.
Just now these crooks are trying to
discredit the President. But they will
find they are making losing fight. Why
you have seen 1t here in your own state.
CORPORA tions have elected and Centralized
your legislature for their own selfish ends.
1t is so in other parts of the country
The people are learning these things,
and they are rising in their might to
overthrow them as they did in Ohio"

The Telephone Girl.

while it is possible that the telephone
girl has her faults, she does not deserve
all the adverse criticism to which she is
sometimes subjected" said an old tele-
phone man yesterday.
1T is of course very trying to be in
terrupted in the midst of a conversation
by having the line cut in on getting the
wrong connection, bad connections and all
those little things that try ones patience,
but we should remember that telephone
girls, like every one else, is liable to make
mistakes and that all the troubles are not
chargeable to her.
For instance. 1t is often charged that
the telephone girl claims that a certain
line you want is busy when it is not
Now, as matter of fact, the telephone
girl can more easily give the desired
connection than to report it busy. Max
ing the connection is an easy matter and
If you notice. when calling for a number
you can tell whether she has made an
effort to give you the number you want.
II the number you call for is busy you
will hear a distinct rattle as she attempts
to Join the lines.
THE telephone operator has many
things to try her nerves and 1t is won
