If you want a high grade sewing machine which is a
Worlds Standard of Excellence
 buy a WHITE

The machine is unsurpas- sed for simplicity, durability and the character of the work it will do. It is made in two styles, the Vibrator Shuttle and the Improved Rotary Shuttle. The latter machine sews either a lock or a chain stitch. There are a number of styles to choose from and the woodwork is the hand somest possible.

The ORIGIN OF THE LEAP YEAR.

Leap year is here. With it
comes the days of golden oppor-
tunity to the maid and days of
fear for the popular bachelor, lest
some fair one pops to him. To
the bashful man it brings hope,
for although he may realize the
fatal wound of Cupid's dart, he
needs the encouragement which
he will now receive.
Did you ever stop to think how
this custom originated? We can
thank the practical, frank, Scot
tish people for it. During the
reign of Margaret, about the year
1928, the Scottish parliament
passed the following act:
''Ordonit that during ye reign
of her maist biessit Majestic, lika
maiden ladee, of bath high and
low estait, shall hae liberty to
speak ye man she likes; gif he re-
fuses to take her to be his wifi, he
shall be mulct in the sum of an
hundrity pundls or less, as his es-
TAFT may be, except and always
gif he can make it appear that he
is betroth to anither woman, then
he shall be Free
This act has now become thor
oughly established as a custom, al
though it no longer exists as a
law. Today every fourth year is
observed by practically all nations
either in jest or fact, as the time
when the maid can speak for
herself

Sen. HANSBR0UCH'S
CENTRAL BANK BILL
OPPOSED By WALL STREET GAMBLERS
WHO COULDN'T GET ENOUGH MONEY
FOR SPECUlAn0NS.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator
Hansbrough's attention was called
to Congressman Gronna's inter-
view in The Grand Forks, N. D.,
Herald in which the Congressman
is quoted as saying that the SEN
ator's central bank bill was a Wall
street scheme and that he (the con-
gressman) did not believe in elm
mating the 5000 or more national
banks in the country. In reply
the senator said:
1T is we'll to take with grain of
salt anything that appears in The
Herald regarding myself. There
is a pretty strong suspicion that
that journal is not in love with me.
The central bank plan by no
means does away with the other
national banks. On the contrary
they become the stockholders in
it, and. with the government
treasury officials, control it. A
central bank is designed to afford
an opportunity for all other banks,
in times of distress, to borrow
money from large responsible
institution that would not close it's
doors on them when they needed
help. As for it's being Wall
street scheme, Wall street is very
much opposed to it because it
would deprive the specializing
banks of the great money and
stock gambling center of the pc
culiar advantage they now have
in going direct to the United
States treasury for succor and
open the way for all banking con-
Germs TO secure money when
needed.
The central bank idea was first
elaborated to me by a prominent
North Dakota man who is at the
head of several national banks.
1t is endorsed by the comptroller
Of the currency and many other
leading financiers. l introduced
my bill as a suggestion without
the least hope that it would pass,
for l am aware that there is d
great diversity of interests to be
subserved by any financial legisla-
ton that may be proposed.

I. Powell, the tailor, had the
misfortune to loose his mother
about Christmas time. He left

wrote his mother that he would
be there Christmas day or shortly
afterward. A day or two after
Christmas he reached home only
to find that his mother had been
buried 9 hours before he arrived.

JACK LONDON AMONG The LEPERS.

On his way around the world
for the Woman's Home Compan-
ion, Jack London visited the lep-
ers of Molokai, on the island of
Hawaii.
'Leprosy is not so contagious
as is imagined" writes Mr.. Lon
don in the January Woman's
Home Companion. II went for a
weeks visit to the settlement, and
/ took my wife along all Of
which would have not happened
had we had any apprehension Of
contracting the disease. Nor did
we wear long, gauntleted gloves
and keep apart from the lepers.
On the contrary, we mingled free
ly with them, and before we left
knew scores of them by sight and
name. The precautions of simple
cleanliness seem to be all that is
necessary. On returning to their
own houses, after having been
among and handling lepers, the
non-lepers, such as the physicians
and the superintendent, merely
wash their faces and hands with
mildly antiseptic soap and change
their coats" +"

LEAP YEAR PARTY.

A number of the young people,
the Sweet Sixteens, as it were,
had leap year party in Wegley's
hall last Tuesday night. The
young ladies we're busy the first
of the week selecting partners and
trying to escape asking some other
lady's fellow, and being told that
they we're engaged. Every thing
went along very nicely and the
young people had very pleasant
time.

SPENT SIXTEEN
HOURS IN WELL
krKENlE COUNTY CLAIM HOLDER HAS
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE IN WELL
WENT DOWN AFTER PET DOG.

j. Wodford Ray, a Mckenzie
county claim holder who is we'll
known in this city, had an expert
ence in we'll December 26th that
might we'll have turned his hair
white. MIR. Ray had a pet dog
that he thought a great deal of
and upon the date mentioned the
little dog fell into a we'll on the
Ray claim. The we'll was about
twenty-five feet deep and as there
was no way of reaching the dog
Mr.. Ray decided to go down on
the we'll rope, thinking that he
could come up again all right as
he was a pretty good hand at rope
climbing. However, when he
went down he got quite wet and
this made his clothes much heav-
ier. In climbing out he lost his
grip when about half way up and
slid to the bottom, getting in the
water again. In falling back he
injured his left hand and could not
grip the rope, so there he was at
the bottom of the we'll hanging on
to the rope and unable to get out.
In order to keep out of the water
he tied a loop in the end of the
rope and spent the long weary
hours from six-thirty in the even
ing until ten thirty the next day,
standing and sitting in the loop.
At first Ray held his dog but he
had to drop him after awhile and
watch the little fellow drown.
During the night he sang songs,
told himself stories and in fact did
everything possible to keep from
thinking of his position. It was
just by chance that he was at last
rescued from the well. A neigh
Dor named Andrew F. Solberg
happened to be going by the house
and saw the door open. He went
to the house and it's appearance
led him to think that something
was wrong. He started for the
barn and had just reached it when
he was attracted to the we'll by the
barking of an older dog, belong
ing to Ray, that had watched by
the we'll all night. Solberg went
there and upon seeing what was
the trouble, helped Ray out.
When the poor fellow got to the
house he broke down and was hys-
terical for several hours. He had
terrible experience and it is a
wonder he didn't go crazy.

all exercise little more care in our

Christmas cannot remain with US

cannot retain the voice of Christ in

creature of habit. and it would be
easy to cultivate the habit of polite

our fellow men are disposed to treat

THE CHR.sTMAs. spIRIT.

Christmas, the one holiday that is
recognized throughout the Christian
world, is close at hand, and people
In every CLINE who recognize Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Savior are
preparing to celebrate the anniver-
sary of His birth. While Christmas
brings temporal pleasures and world
Iy enjoyments almost without num-
Der, it has a deeper significance in
the sense that for the time being
our hearts are imbued with what is
known as the Christmas spirit, which
is a feeling of kindness toward our
men and a desire for happiness not
only for ourselves, but for those
aboat us.
1t is said that the world grows
colder each day, and that each sue
ceeding year finds US more selfish
and sordid, but the old time spirit
of Christmas seems to cling to us,
and as Christmas approaches a feel
ing of contriteness steals into our
hearts, and we seem to realize that
self can be really and truly happy.
The man who throughout the entire
year thinks of nothing save the al
mighty dollar has his cookies warm
ed by the approach of Christmas, and
is willing to spend with lavish hand
these precious dollars which have
come as the result of hard and unre-
mitting toll in order that he may be
able to give pleasure to others who
have not been so successful as he.
