Dividing Line at Cape Hatteras.
Forest and Stream.

Cape Hatteras is the true dividing
line between the North and the
South. North of 1t there is not a
trace of the palmetto and other forms
of vegetation which, sub-tropical in
character, cease there also.
Mason and Dixon's line is an i'm
aginary sort of thing in the North,
but Hatteras is the outer mark of the
real dividing line, and it affords a
fine opportunity for study.

What is known as waterglass or

two forms, one a sirupy liquid about
the consistency of mucilage, and the
other powder. The liquid form is
the more popular. 1t is not expen-
sive, selling at 81 and $1.25 per gal
lon, the purchaser usually having to
pay for the container. In smaller
quantities than a gallon it would
come some higher, possibly so cents

A Political Thought.

The greatest political thought
in the world is that embodied in
the Declaration Of independence,
that all men are created equal.
This is the basis Of popular gov
ernment, and popular govern
ment is spreading. II does not
mean that men are, or will be,
equal in physical strength, in
intellectual ability, in moral char
acter or wealth--lt simply means
that God never gave to one
human being a natural right that
He denied any other human be-
ing, and that in the contempla-
ton OF government, all must
stand equal before the law. Out
Of this basic principle all other
political principles must grow,
and by IL all methods Of govern
ment and all policies must be
measured. Bryan.

extravaganza the other day in a
public speech. The expenditures
for the military establishment for
the last six years exceeded those

said, to the extent of S416, ,212,-
1872, or over 1877 per cent, and for
the naval establishment to the
extent of s428, ,O0O,0 900, or over 235
per cent. The combined eXpend-
itures for these two branches of
the service during six years were
1914, ,379, 1926, or over 175 per cent

The place is situated about ,35 miles
south Of Minneapolis In a rich farming
country, and has a population of about

ployed in a bank in Rugby, N. D.,

family will move to the new location
not later than August 1st.
Mr.. Ellenbecker has been resident
of Little Falls for nearly thirty years,
having first been employed with the
firm Of Maurin & Medved. He was
later elected county auditor, which
office he held for many years, his

partnership with Henry Goulet in
the hardware business at this place,
which stock they some time since

ness man of high standing and
unquestioned integrity.
The family have many warm friends

them abundant success in their new
home,
