INSTITUTE WEEK DOINGS.
Over One Hundred Cavalier County
Teachers in LandgOn.

The annual meeting OF the Cav~lIe--
County Teachers Institute for l9OS be-
gan Monday June Goth. In per cent. OF
attendance the present institute sur
passed any previous one ever held in the
county. At present the enrolment is
112, or over 80 per cent of the entire
county teaching force. With Prof Hol-
lis, of the Valley City Normal as con-
ductor, Miss Amidon, of the same
institution, in charge of the intermedi-
ate work as we'll as music, and Miss
Gilman, of the Langdon City Schools
as primary instructor, we can boast OF
staff of instructors second to none in
the state. The work done so far has
been such that will, without a doubt,
prove of immense value to all thete ach-
ers. AS Miss Gilman is we'll and favor
ably known to the people of Langdon
and vicinity, it is quite unnecessary to
say anything here in praise of her. Ii
the Valley City Normal has any more
like Prof. Hollis and Miss Amidon, we
would be glad to make their acquaint-
ance. The institute will close at noon
on Friday, July 3rd., and during the
last two days will be held in connection
of the annual meeting of the school Off
GERS of the various districts in the
county.
Supt. Groom's suggestion to visit the
Great Northern reservoir for evening
recreation was followed by several ol
the teachers, who found it very interest
ing from a geological point of view.
Prof. Hollis suggestion to the teach
ers to imagine themselves school child
rem, again seems to have taken hold Of
several, as is evidenced by their playing
"hookey."
Some geographical phenomena in the
vicinity of the Valley City Normal are
according to Prof. Hollis, "Amidor
Bank" and "HolIis HILL" They GER
tainly could not have better names, but
as to the specific reason of their being
thus named we must perhaps consul
the professor personally.

PRIMARY ELECTION RETURNS
Unofficial. Figures of Vote Cast in
Cavalier County

The vote cast at the primary election
last week for candidates seeking nomi-
nation on the Republican and Demo-
cratic ballots for county and state Office
is unof6cially given below. The county
canvassing board is in session as We go
to press, but it is not expected that the
figures given below as totals will be ma
terially altered by the board The vote
on the question of a special tax levy for
the experimental farm is not known
sufficiently we'll to allow of figures being
given, though it is certain that most of
the precincts gave majority in its
favor In the state the stalwarts and
insurgents share about evenly in naming
the state ticket. The Democrats polled
easily double the number of votes in the
state necessary to give them place on
the ballot at the fall election. In the
county the only contest for nomination
was for the Office of States Attorney in
which Attorney Dickson got majority
over States Attorney johnson, which
leaves the question of his nomination
certainty. In the Fifth commissioner
district Andy Brady of Olga, has won
out over VIM. N. Wright of Fremont.
The total vote for candidates on the
two tickets at the primaries is as fol-
lows:

INSTITUTE NOTES.

INSTITUTE NOTES.
j. W. Scott is one the visiting schoof
teachers who is thoroughly enjoying
institute week. Langdon was his home
last winter while holding down clerk
ship at the court house in Co. Treasurer
Sheehan's office.
Chris. Keil, we'll known in the south
western part of the county as an auc-
tioneer, is here attending the institute.
He is this summer teaching school near
Iona.
A. P. Macarthur, of Wales, has taught
number of the larger schools in Cava-
lier county since coming here from
Minnesota about six years ago, and DUR
ing the coming school year will assume
the position of principal of the school at
Wales, which place has been the home
of his family for some time past.
Supt. A. P. Hollis, of the state normal
school at Valley City, N. D. is
proving highly popular as conductor
with the teachers attending the institute
this week. Mr.. Hollis was also in
charge of the Cavalier county teachers
institute of year ago and many of our
pedagogues find it pleasure to renew
acquaintanceships formed at that time.
The DEMOCRATS most excellent write
up of the teachers institute is the work
of H. T. Parker, principal of the Dres-
den village school during the past year,
and who has lately been engaged by the
Langdon school board as principal of
the high school for the ensuing year.
Mr.. Parker is a Minnesota university
graduate and the possessor of high
endorsements of his educational ability5
Sam Cross, of Olga, is one of the old
timers who is thoroughly at home in
attending the teachers institute this
week. Sam has put in the best part of
the past twenty years among the schools
of the eastern part of the county and is
able to size-up with the bunch as quite
passably good looking young man at
the present stage of the game
Fred Borusky, of Mimic township, is
easily in the front row among the old
pioneer Cavalier county school teachers
attending the institute this week. 1t is
almost quarter of century ago since
Fred taught his first term of school here,
and although not always engaged in his
chosen profession he has answered the
roll call of every teachers institute held
since the organization of the county.
He is now we'll TO do farmer west of
Wales and expects the end of this week
to take the train to Denver Colo, to
attend the national democratic con-
vention.

DON'T KISS THE BABES
Osculation Dangerous to the Very
Young and the Very Old, Says
Famous French Physician.

| gain tho youthful lose. Statisticians
point out that length OF life 10 greatest
among schoolmasters, or those whose
life-work Is carried on among young
people. The same soulless statisticians
hold that the reason why that fair
creature OF rare bloom and extra
domiciliary heart-burnings, known as
the old mans darling" Is a common
enough phenomenon In human society,
must be attributed, not so much to
profound love on the part Of the adj
mirer, as to the keen interest he may
feel Of prolonging his own life-span.
As II to back up the learned DR..
Martinez, Lady Violet Greville gives
to the world q woman's ideas on kiss
ing, writing as follows In the London
Graphic:
There is an idea abroad that kiss
ing Is Injurious. Mothers are urged
not to kiss their babies, lovers not to
kiss each other, and parents to refrain
from embracing their children. A
great deal Of kissing might be very
properly dispensed with. The formal
peck at the parental cheek morning
and evening, the ELUSIVE embrace Of
female friends ready to destroy each
others character with jealousy and
spite, the foreign habit Of bearded
men clasped in each others arms, the
false kisses of the wheedling wife, or
the specious smack on the cheek of
the husband who is arranging soil
tary holiday, all these might be sup
pressed; kissing, too, Ii an art and
not all its votaries have studied the
rules.
Some kisses are horrible. There Is
the slobbery kiss, the Indifferent kiss,
which wounds ones armour propre to
the quick, the salacious kiss. the hur-
ried kiss, usually administered be-
tween couples at a railway station, the
brutal kiss, the clumsy kiss. But for
lovers, for mothers, what can replace
the kiss? The reverent, inspired, pas
sionate, tender kiss, the expression Of
all that Is noble and best In human
nature? The kiss Of forgiveness, the
kiss of pity, the kiss of charity. which
elevates and restores self-respect, who
would part with these? The kiss Is.
perhaps, the most perfect expression
of love, but 1t should be kept for the
intimate, the ecstatic, the supreme
moments Of life, and never, never,
given In public"

nous French. physician, DR.. Martinez,
who writes of promiscuous baby-kiss-
ing in his Archives de Medicine des
Enfants."
To kiss a woman may be to show
evidence of soul or soulfulness, sug-
gests the doctor, but to indulge In
promiscuous kissing in babylon Is to
provide the evil gods who reign In
Tartarus with an easy method OF in
dieting baleful ills upon the sons Of
men. For, says the heartless medico,
the little round-eyed mite is nothing
less than a sink Of contagion. And
whenever you kiss one you are liable
to fall victim to one or all in the
following interesting catalogue Of ills
TO which our ignoble flesh is heir:
Scarlet fever, measles, whooping-cough,
tuberculosis, smallpox, nursemaids' lip,
scrofula, nasal catarrh, galloping
chorea. quinsy, maxillary tetanus, bac-
terial nose, mumps, nettlerash, collie,
panada poison, papillary tongue and
tonsilitis.
AS everybody knows, the doctor
says, disease causes most havoc among
the very young and the very old. 1t
is not well, therefore, he suggests,
that the extremely aged should be al
lowed to fondle or kiss babies, and as
much for their own sake as for that
Of the little ones, for each may COM
municate to the other the germs that
put the human animal beyond further
interest In mundane affairs. The
theory is carried even further In re-
gard to the choice Of ones associates.
1t is wellknown that people in ex-

vitality and considerable rejuvenation
from association with those who are
In the bud of youth. The law of com.
pensation nevertheless exerts its in
