Epworth League.

A social was held last Friday even
ing in the basement of the M. E. church
for the purpose of recognizing the
Epworth League. A large number
were present and first part of the even
ing was very enjoyably spent in play
ing games CT different kinds. When
these grew tiresome a short program
was rendered consisting of a reading
by Miss Grace Smith and one by Miss
Hettie Amsdall, after which light re-
freshments of popcorn and candy
were served. During this part of the
program the regular official business
and election Of League officers was
carried on.
Opportunity was then given for all
desiring to join the League to do So,
by signing papers passed around for
that purpose. About twenty-four
were thus enrolled. The crowd then
dispersed feeling that both a pleasant
and profitable evening had been spent.

A number of students have to find
paid work in order to continue in col
lege 1t is not always an easy mat
ter for the new student to find such
work. Realizing this the Y. M. 9. A.
has organized an employment bureau.
and has already secured places for a
number of boys.
Lieutenant Governor r. S. Lewis
of Fargo addressed the student body
at the regular convocation exercises
inchapel at11o'clock on Monday Nov.
18th. His subject, "a Right Kind Of
a Start in Life'' was made concrete
and interesting, and given by a man
of SO much experience and practical
success, the address was doubtless of
great benefit to all. 1t is due to the
efforts of Mr.. Lewis that the bill was
passed providing for the mill tax,
which has furnished the institution
with al annual income sufficient to
meet the running expenses.
Cattle dipping has been practiced to
quite an extent through this portion of
the country, and in most cases has
proved a success. It is not so much
a means for the cure of the scab, or
other skin diseases as for prevention.
The apparatus at the college is a good
example of modern arrangement. A
hole 8 K 4 x 7 feet deep is dug in the
ground and farmed in. A cage is
built to fit the excavation and so con-
structed that the animal can be led in
to it. A cable is attached to the top
of the cage, run over a pulley above
and fastened to a traction engine.
The proper proportion of water, soap
and kerosene are put into the pit and
boiled by mean of steam. The cage
is then lowered until the solution COW
ers the animal to the head.
North Dakota is not to remain for
ever a fruitless prairie. Experiments

more strongly each year that with the
expense of a little time, patience and
judgement, fruits can be grown sur
passing those of older fruit growing

here has had very gratifying results
from the experiments on strawberry
culture. In a good year the berries
are superior to those on the market
here and demand a better price. Put
the young plants out in the spring,
cover them over with straw in the fall
and the next season will find them in
good bearing condition.

THE FARMERS
OPPORTUNITY.

During the coming winter months
the farmers of North Dakota as we'll
as the citizens of the state generally,
will have exceptional opportunities to
keep abreast of the, best agricultural
and scientific thought thru the admir-
able series Of farmers institutes under
the direction of superintendent T. A.
Hoverstad. 1t is planned to hold two
institutes in every county of the state
where practible, n Dr. two places
IN the county. The sessions will be
one day sessions with evening sessions
whenever the institute force remains
over night in the town where the insti-
tute is held. How may a town secure
an institute? Supt. Hoverstad is now
at work on the schedule, and will be
guided largely by the interest shown
by requests from the various commun-
tiles for institutes. If you want an
institute, write Supt. Hoverstad at
once, at the State Agricultural college.
at Fargo, N. D. All that is asked on
the part of citizens is that a place Of
meeting be provided and that the citi-
zens cooperate with the institute in
making the institute a success, par
ticularly by securing "a good attend
ance. Individual citizens, commercial
clubs, women's clubs. any person or
organization may begin at once to
help along the farmers institute move
ment. In case of conflicting applica-
tions, Mr.. Hoverstad will make the
best possible choice of places to ac-
comodate the largest number of inter-
ested persons.
The list of speakers and subjects is
now being made out. Prof. Shaw, a
practical farmer before becoming a
college professor, who is widely known
thruout the Northwest as a valued ad-
wiser, will particularly treat the para
mount of farmers problem in North
Dakota-the preservation of the fer
Utility of the soil. Practical farm ques-
tions along the leading lines of agri-
culture will be treated in every pro-
gram. The farmer will be put in
touch with the best books and bulle-
tine dealing with subjects that cannot
be exhaustively dealt with in the in
stitute talks. Special attention will
be given local questions as suggested
by correspondence prior to the in
%stitute.
The institute work will represent the
experience and special study of train
ed and practical men, and by the net
work of Institutes over the state the
coming winter it is hoped that the
practical problems of the farm may be
better understood and better met.

conspicuous among the enemies
constantly preying upon the wage
Garner while he is fighting the bat
tie of organized labor, is the invest
ment swindler. He has all the craft
of a wolf, his purpose seeming to be
to attack the workingman from the
rear while his attention is absorbed
by the forces facing him. And these
promoters of the small investment
swindling game have grown so in
numbers, in holiness and in cunning
that their attacks must receive atten-
ton before their depredations amount
to quite as much as the losses which
might come from unfair wage scales
or unjust restrictions upon labor.
When a ~workingman engages in a
struggle to advance the cause Of or
ganized labor, he feels that he is do
ing something substantial for himself,
for his family, and for his fellows.
And so he is; but If he turns over to
the fake investment sharpers all the
concrete results of the advantage thus
gained, how far ahead is he? How
much more of comfort can he give
himself or his family as a net result
of the transaction?
It is time for the wage earners of
America to awaken to the fact that
they are being Systematically swim
died by the small investment brokers,
and swindled out of millions Of hard
earned dollars every year. Unless they
arouse themselves and protect their
savings they might about as well go
back to the old labor conditions, since
there Is not much practical choice
between giving the fruits of honest
toll to an o~ver-reaching and unjust
employer and handing them over
gratis to a systematized project for
swindling.
In my opinion there is no class Of
people SO fit to drink the dregs of hu.
man contempt as are those who glut
themselves upon the small savings
which the wage workers have slowly
and patiently put away in the family
stocking. And If I could know that
this word of warning would be the
means Of lettering workingmen who
read it from investing their savings
without first making a thorough in.
vestigation of the proposition offered.

service to the wage earners that I
could look back upon always with sat.

their number being an i~mpersonator.
All performed their parts we'll, and

spend the winter in Florida. She is
curator of the MUSEUM, and shows her
great interest in it, by collecting spec
linens for the school during all her
travels.
The beautiful statue of Joan of Arc,
which was presented to the school, by
the class of 1907, has been placed in
the library.
The school was address in chapel,
Saturday morning, by Hon. John M.
