Enterprisinq Missionary Exposition.


\ The great missionary exposition held
at Swansea, Wales, recently, was at,
tended by more than 10000 persons
and it was held In the vast hall built
for the annual musical festival called
the "Eisteddfod Pavilion. There are
six courts formed, representing In
dia, China, Africa, the South Seas,
Madagascar and New Guinea. The
actual scenes Of these countries were
admirably reproduced under the direc.

little knowledge of the great results
obtained, are now awake to the mean,
ing of the missionary enterprise.

George M. Young, of Valley City, N.
d., was born in Huron county, Ontario.
He came to Michigan in 1888 and to
North Dakota in 1890. He IS self
made man, has served two terms in the
house and two sessions in the state SEN
ate. He was the pioneer in legislation
looking to better grain grading condi-
ion and also had a bill passed estab-
fishing a -four mill and grain testing
plant at Fargo, tor the farmers benefit,
the first of the kind in the United States
under state control. He led the fight ON
the floor of the house for the fellow
servant bill, known us the "Personal
Injury" bill, which the railroad en-
ployes had long waited for. He also
had passed the corrupt practice act with
the object of securing cleaner elections.
He introduced and made vigorous
fight for the enactment of an anti-pass
bill. His legislative record is such that
his platform promises are taken at full
value.
He is in full sympathy with the peo-
pie and is by education and training
we'll qualified to represent this state in
congress.
Mr.. Young is honest and honorable
and fearless advocate of the right. He
belongs to the wing Of the republican
party known as prcginSsives or insur-
gents, but il elected will without doubt
be the servant of all the people.-Valley

To Which Class Do You Belong?

The citizens Of every town and city
are made up of two distinct classes,
namely, knockers and boosters. The
town that has citizens who are public
spirited aud energetic has great ad'
vantage over town whose citizens
sit in the public places and condemn
everything that will promote its
material welfare. One knocker will
undo the work OF dozen boosters. To
which class do you belong? Are you
anxious for the little city Of Ordway
to prosper? Then forget to knock.
Do you want TO see your neighbors
thrive? Then get busy, and while
you are helping yourself to lay aside
some OF this worlds goods, you will
help your neighbors and your town.
A man who is busy working for him
self will not have time to knock, for
he has his own interests at heart.
II you have been a knocker, look
around and see what you have made
by IL and then on the other hand
notice what the boosters are doing
and how they have prospered. Get
busy and forget how to knock. 1t will
pay In the long run.

HORSE HAS DRUG HABIT,
Well Behaved During Youth, Wanders
OF In His Old Age.

Caldwell, \. 1.-THE old gray horse
belonging to local grocer and known
to all the women and children as Sam
is now numbered among the lapsed
and lost. II is felt that there is no
hope for him, and sooner or later he
will be swapped off.
In his younger days and In his mid.
die years Sam lived a sober, dignified
and altogether exemplary life. He was
safe company for the most innocent
But now mothers silently lift both
their hands and eyes when his name
is mentioned. and always one of the
whispered questions at parlor and
front porch meetings is:
Can nothing be done for poor
SAM"
About six months ago the gray
horse had the collie one morning. A
veterinarian gave prescription. A
drug store around the corner from his
masters store filed it. Whatever
1t had in 1t, the medicine cured Sans
collie Immediately.
The next morning Sam walked
around to the drug store, though his
driver was not with him. and putting
his head In the front door whinnied
pleadingly. After little while the
druggist gave him the prescription
again. He went away happy. The
druggist laughed. and Sans master
laughed. and all the neighbors laughed.
But 1t isn't Joke any more. Sam
at first insisted on his prescription
soon after breakfast, or he would
grow unmanageable. Now he is
peevish all the afternoon II he doesn't
get second dose about noon. He ia
losing flesh, and his dignity Is all
gone.

Below we quote an article taken
from Sundays Pueblo Star-Journal
regarding George Edgar, who is dis

THE Arkansas valley prolific of

claim to no greater production than
that which appeals to the artistic as
we'll as the practical side Of life, in the
form Of young violinist Of no little
ability and one who has brilliant
future predicted for him.
George Edgar, whose father, Will
liam Edgar, Is prominent druggist
OF Ordway, was born in this city four
teen years ago, not long after which
the family moved to Ordway, where
George received his first lessons on
the violin from Dan Petit. In the
spring Of 1907 it was thought advis
able to send him to Pueblo once a
week to be under the direction Of
Fraucis Schwinger, and at the present
time he is taking lesson and prac.
ticing from four to six hours every
day.
He can play. the most difficult Sc
lections, his technique and expression
being far above the ordinary for one
of his years. A few Puebl0ans have
had the pleasure Of hearing him play
It small concerts, but many are look
