ABOUT THOSE
c. N. SHOPS
GRAND FORKS HERALD OPENS AN AG-
GRESSIVE CAMPAIGN AND WILL
TRY FOR PLUM

The Grand Forks Daily Herald
has opened a campaign for that
city in an effort to secure the pro-
posed shops which it is expected
will be erected by the Great
Northern railroad some where in
North Dakota. The Herald is
noted as an aggressive fighter when
it goes after anything worth while
for Grand Forks and it behooves
we Of Williston to be up and do
inc. The erection of the shops in
Williston would mean that there
would be several hundred work
men brought here to live perman-
emily and without discussion it
can be seen at a glance what we
have at steak in securing the shops
for our city. With all due re-
spect to our sister city we do not
believe there is city on the en-
tire line in North Dakota which
can offer the general advantages
to workmen in such matter as
can Williston. We have here
beautiful location for a city; one
which possesses advantages over
every other city on the line for
the development of, and the prop
er care of of after developed, of a
city. The general lay Of the land
as the saying goes, is such, that
such important matters as sewer
system, water works, drainage, in
fact every important perquisite
are all here naturally. The Great
Northern is going to build these
shops aad when they build they
are going to consider these very
Important questions and this
briefly summed up, is question
of advertising which means that
we must get after the G. N. and
hammer and boost to beat the band.
We want those shops.

ANENT ADVERTISING

A couple Of weeks ago our adj
vertising solicitor called on we'll
known business man with an ad-
vertising proposition. The gentle
man in question listened patiently
to what was presented him, but
said that he did not believe that
such an ad would pay him the cost
of inserting it. His principal OBJ
lection was that he did not be-
lieye that people would read the
ad, at least the class of people who
he was desirous of reaching. Now
it just happened that the particu-
lar publication in which we wished
him to advertise did not have
another ad for the same line Of
business and after considerable in
sistence he was persuaded to take
the space. Our solicitor wrote the
advertisement for him and put it
into type after his own ideas. 1t
is interesting to note the result.
On Tuesday Of this week, the
gentleman came into our office for
the purpose alone of telling us
about his adj. His story in short
was this. That since the appear
ance of the ad he has been able to
note a decided increase in his bust
ness from the very sources he de-
sired to reach and it can be traced
directly to that little piece of care
fully worded, neatly set piece of
advertising. Now if it helps him
why will it not do equally we'll for
you. The Graphic has a regular
ly employed advertising man, one
who knows his business, makes
study Of it, and who will be glad
at any time to call on you and give
you any assistance in his power to
help you. That is what we keep
him for and if you will call up
the Graphic Office at any time and
ask for the ad man he will be very
glad to assist you in writing and
designing your ad.

EDUCATOR ADVOCATES

CHICAGO, March z.-Colleges OF
courtship for the reform Of American
lovemaking are needed to fit the love
lorn population of the nation for matri-
mony, according to Prof. Charles E,
Henderson, the University of Chicago
sociologist. In an article. on Court
ship in the current Biblical World,
issued from the university press yes
terday, the professor urges expert in
struction for those who are smitten
with the illusions of love
Hasty marriages, divorce and mar
riages of convenience are classed as
results of the ''barbarism'' into which
courtship and marriage have fallen
He gives as examples of the decline in
true love where the wife is bought
from the parent like a COW, or where
girl is compelled TO marry to secure
a fortune from rich fool
Fashionable society exhibits deprav-
ed standards, and alimony is accept
ed as substitute for rational mar
riages, he declares.
Prof Henderson points out as par
ticuIar evils of modern lovemaking
such perils as flirting, Boosting of con-
quests, extravaganza. accepting costly
presents, ignorance of the training Of

that BARRIERS in the state need not

reached on an appeal from superior
court decision in Bridgeport by Henry
H. Foulkner, colored man, who
brought suit against Thos. Solazzi, a
barber of that city. Solazzf refused to
shave FoulkneF, his defense being that
his barber shop was not place OF

PENALIZING STAMP FADDISTS

The only way to stop people from
plastering stamp at any old place
upon the envelope, except the right
one, is to do as is done in England
There a letter which does not have the
stamp in the right position is cast
aside and handled only when all other
mail is sorted and exchanged" This
idea was advanced by a postal clerk
1--WE often lose considerable time be-
cause of these letters continued the
clerk, for often we have to stop and
turn over an envelope to find the
stamp. The worse offenders in this
respect are not foreigners, but those
who have lived here for years.

ORIGIN OF WORD EXPLOSIVE.

Explosive" was first used in its
modern sense in the first quarter OF
the nineteenth century. Explode in

scarcely a century older. Before that
people talked of ball being .'expIod-
ed from a gun, the clouds exploding
lightning or volcano exploding lava
But that was very much nearer the
words original sense of driving away
with scorn. Explode" in fact, is lit
orally to clap away, and was tech
nical word for driving an actor off

Halted Presidents Dinner.

Ex-senator Cockrell probably Is the
only man in Washington who ever
kept President Roosevelt waiting at a
dinner. 1t was one of the cabinet din
ners that were given by the Secretary
of the Interior and Mrs. Hitchcock
three years ago. The President and
Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due time, as
did all the other guests except Sena-
tor Cockrell.
After delay of almost an hour Mrs.
Hitchcock invited her guests to the dim
ing room and dispatched messenger
to the residence of Senator Cockrell
to make inquiries. Great fear was felt
that the Missourian had started and
had fallen by the way, as the day was
cold and wintry one. The fact was
however, that the senator was sitting
quietly at home when the messenger
got there, clad in his dressing gown
and slippers and congratulatlng him
self that he could be indoors. He had

Another efi1cacious method is to snuff
up warm salt water. But one must not
go out right after this or the cold will
be aggravated.
If 1t Is tight cold in the head rub
the bridge Of the nose thoroughly with
vasellne at night. This simple remedy
sometimes works like a charm.

AS there Is no royal road to learning
so there is no certain formula for ma
terial success In life. All the success
full men give out prescriptions for the
attainment of wealth or other things
to be desired, but these prescriptions
are obviously faulty, since they do not
succeed save in few cases. Most men
remain poor in spite of them. The ad-
vice Of successful men Is usually as use
less as it Is platitudinoua This Is be-
cause it Jumps all men together, where
as every man Is case by himself. Here
is E. H. Hartman, for instance, max
ing public the secret Of his success Il
just attend to business" he says; "that
Is how l succeed. Anybody can do the
same" Yet all of US know hundreds
of men who, though they attend to
business as faithfully as they can, are
not successful even In modest way.
They toll early and late, they neglect
no honest effort, yet they live and die
failures 50 far as material success is
concerned. Mr.. Harriman's system Is
thus Intellectual with respect to large
proportion of men, and he seems to
realize 1t, for he goes on to amplify
and qualify his advice very materially.
II keep In touch with matters in which
l am concerned" he says "and meet
the turn in events at the proper time.
Any man Of reasonable intelligence
with ability to appreciate the golden
opportunity and seize 1t will succeed
In his endeavors." This puts very diff
ferent complexion upon 1t. Attention
to business alone will not suffice. The
aspirant for great things must also
meet the turn Of events at the proper
time; he must seize the golden oppor-
tunity and know when to seize It
Assiduity must be supplemented by
qualities which are not common to all
men, And 1t Is in these qualities that
success resides. Successful men who
like Hartman, give advice to those
who wish to emulate them would dC
better IL they put the matter another
way. They should say that men car
not succeed without energy and indus
