For the office of Commissioner of Agriculture
and Labor the State of North Dakota is advertising
for man who judiciously spend $4,000 year
in advertising the greatness of the state and for the
purpose of inducing people to come here and make
their homes This requires man who is adapted to
that class of work and who is familiar with all the
conditions as they exist in the state, and such
is R. W. Main, who has recently announced himself
candidate for this Office. We believe that it be
honestly said that Mr.. Main IS Of the very few
men in the state who is familiar with all of the
ditions of the state and he has done more to adver
tse the state in it's proper light than any other
that comes to our memory at this time-Egeland
Enterprise.
In the announcement of R. w. Main as candi-
date for Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor the
state has candidate who is qualified for the position
to which he aspires. Mr.. Main has demonstrated
not only to the state Of North Dakota but to the
world, his ability in that particular line He was
employed by the state worlds fair board to collect
and prepare material and later employed by the
n D. Executive Commissioner to install the exhibits
at the two greatest worlds fairs, St. Louis EXPOSE
ton in 1904 and Lewis and Clark Exposition at Port
land, Ore in 1905. He not only collected and pre-
pared the greater part Of the material but designed
and executed the installation. Lake Ripples.
Ever since his arrival in the state Mr.. Main has
taken profound interest in everything pertaining
to the agricultural pronucts Of the state and has al
ways worked to acquant the outside world with the
advantages Of the state Of North Dakota. The
states exhibits at both the ST. Louis and Portland
Fairs were entrusted to him to make showing, and
to him more than any else, is due the credit the
state has received for it's magnificent display Of the
products Of the state. Main, the man with the
overals, did the work that brought state to the
notice of millions of the leading agricultural
states of the Union AS reward Of merit the Hon.

PRAYER TAMES BIRDS
NEAR BISHOPS TOME

Baltimore, Md.-The tanning OF
birds by prayer as embraced in an in.
cident related by two devout children
has been interpreted by Cardinal Glib
bons as a miraculous manifestation OF
the immortal pfety and good works
Of the late Bishop Alfred Curtis,
formerly vicar general of the arch
diocese Of Baltimore.
To the eminent divine was told the
children's story OF their vain pursuit
Of wild song birds near the tomb of
the bishop, and their eventual feryent
petition as they knelt at the grave of
the late vfcar-general.
I'VE do not want to hurt the little
birds" promised the little supplicants,
we only want to pet and love them"
Almost Instantly two of the wild
songsters alighted upon the shoulders
OF the little girls and remained to be
fcndled In their loving arms.
The nuns of the Convent of the WIS.,
itation were so impressed by the gra-
phic story Of the children that the
were transmitted to the
Cardinal.
Il consider It both a manifestation
and a miracle" remarked Cardinal
Gibbons.

Former District Attorney Says That
as Soon as Thaw Sets Foot on New
Jersey Soil on Way to Rttsburg u
Attend Bankruptcy Hearing, He
VIII Be Legally Free and Cannot
Be Taken into Custody Except i
New York State.

New York. Aug. i That Harry
Thaw will be free within a month
is the opinion Of prominent New
York lawyers. Eugene Philbin, for
mer district attorney. said today:
There Is no doubt that once
Thaw sets foot outside OF New York
state he will be free man, or II
not actually free, can be made 30 by
a writ Of habeas corpus. Harry Thaw
was not convicted Of any crime. He
was acquitted on the ground Of In
sanity. Judge Bowling. believing II
to be fore the good Of the state, com
mitted Thaw to Matteawan. This
committeeman Is only legal in New
York.
IF the federal authorities demand
Thaw's presence at the bankruptcy
proceedings In Pittsburg, those who
have Thaw in custody have no other
course than to produce him. The
service Of a subpoena on either Thaw
or the New York authorities would
require his keepers to turn him over
to the United States marshal who
would take him to Pittsburg. Once
across the river and in. New Jersey
he would be legally free and as long
as he is kept out of the state OF New
York he would have no fear If i'm
prisonment. e
