kepuolscsn Sanoloete Tor STATE treasurer.
G. L. Bickford, candidate for state
treasurer on the progressive republican
ticket, was born at Wilson, Niagara
county, New York, June IA, 1874. In
the fall of 1884, at the age of ten years,
he came with his parents to Larimore,
Grand Forks county, North Dakota.
In 1886 his parents moved short dis
tance from Larimore to the town of
Kempton, Grand Forks county, where
they still reside.
He grew up, therefore, in North
Dakota, getting his early education in
the district schools of this state. He
graduated from the university of North
Dakota in the class of 1899, securing
the B. A. degree, and in the fall of the
same year he organized the First State
Bank of Bowbells.
BY strict attention to business,
honesty of methods and capacity he
has built up for himself splendid
business reputation, not only in the
immediate vicinity where he lives. but
throughout the northwest portion of
the state where he is more especially
known. Today he is the president Of
the First State Bank of Bowbells and of
the First State Bank of Coteau. Both
these banks are strong and successful
institutions, made SO by honest square
dealing with his people and by bringing
to his business natural capacity and a
mind trained for the work he has to
do.
Should Mr.. Bickford be elected, he
will bring to this very responsible office
well equipped mind, a large and var
led experience in the business world,
the capacity of hard work, and unques-
toned business integrity. These quail
tiles should make him as successful a
state treasurer as he has beena banker,
holding the confidence of the people of
the whole state as he now does that of
the people Of the section of which he
lives.

"The Old World and Its Way"

Col. William Jennings Bryan's new
book of travel, "The Old World and
Its Ways" recounts his recent tour
around the world and and his journeys
through Europe. 1t is prefusely and
elegantly illustrated with PSI artistic
engravings representing men and things
seen in various countries of the earth
during that noted journey. The engrav-
ings are made from photographs taken
for him or his party specially for this
publication. It is regarded by him as
the monumental literary work of his
life, and is published under his special
supervision.
1t is sold only through agents, and
following its announcement it has, we
are advised, met with demand that
has exhausted in a few months four
large editions aggregating over Al, 900
copies. By special contract with his
publishers he made the retail price low
down with the view of putting it with
in the easy reach of every reader and
book buyer.
The book gives his experiences-what
he saw and did-whom he met and his
impressions and conclusions. He made
a profound study of the nations and of
men and things as he saw them around
the world. He gives governmental,
educational, religious and other condi-
tions, from the standpoint of student
and one profoundly interested in all the
peoples of the earth.
The book is in no sense political, but is
a brilliant record of travel and observa-
tion, from the standpoint of we'll in
formed American citizen, concerning
the countries and peoples of the earth
as seen today. While the pen described,
the camera pictured the splendid details
of this noted journey.
While Col. Bryan travelled as private
citizen he went with the prestige of
having made two memorable contests
for the Presidency of the United States;
and he was everywhere recognized and
entertained as great representative
American, having a leading part in the
direction of American affairs. He was
given opportunity for observations
never before accorded to any one travel
ing in private capacity.
If one wants to see the world, and
the people who are at tina head of affairs
in all countries, as well as the masses,
he has in this book an opportunity of
seeing them through the eyes of Col.
William Jennings Bryan. It is sold by
subscription, and the Thompson Publish
ing Company of St. Louis, NO., are the
fortunate publishers. They offer an
especially inviting opportunity to solic-
itors in another column of this issue.

EMILY OR EENAWALD
WAS A FAVORITE
Her Death at Ludden Sincerely
Felt By All.
The Youngest Daughter Of M. and Mrs. VIM.
Gfesnawald, Old Residents Of This
Section.

Ludden, N. D., May 11.-Emily
Esther Gleenawald, the youngest
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Greena-
wald, was born July 8, 1894, and died
May S, 1908, aged 13 years, months
and 27 days.
Emily was taken i'll on Friday, April
10th, while attending to her work in
the Ludden school. On the following
Thursday evening she was removed to
the hospital at Cakes to undergo an
operation for appendicitis. The first
operation seemed to prove successful,
but on account of some complications it
was found necessary to perform a
a second operation. The second opera
tion was performed few days before
she died. It was not until the time of
the second operation that her case was
found to- be so serious. She rapidly
grew worse from this time and early
Tuesday morning passed away.
The news of her death was a great
shock to her many friends, because
they had received such favorable re-
ports that they looked forward to see
ing her return to them in good health.
The remains were brought down
from Oakes Wednesday morning, and
the funeral services were held on
Thursday afternoon at the home, Rev.
c. c. Williams being in charge. The
remains were laid to rest in the Ludden
cemetery.
Born and raised in this immediate
vicinity, Emily had, by her conduct and
kindness, won the love and respect of
her companions and friends, and the
ties of friendship that naturally form
from associating together had become
very strong and make the parting sad
one.
From early childhood she had always
been good student, her work in the
public school always receiving the COM
mendation of both teachers and school
mates. She had always been regular
attendant of the Baptist Sunday school,
and in this work was always faithful.
She early learned of our Savior's love
for children and when the Christian
Endeavor society was organized a little
over a year ago she placed her name
on the list as an active member. Al
though one of the youngest of
the society she discharged her work
faithfully. thus verifying the scriptural
injunction. "And little child shall
lead them." It is hard to speak the
last farewell. The tears of sorrow will
flow, but in our hour of sorrow and
while life lasts we shall always think of
Emily as now being in the haven of
rest which God has prepared for His
children. And we look forward with
ardent hope to that time when we shall
be reunited as one family and there
shall be no more farewells, no more
tears.
"she is not dead, the child of our Affection
But gone into that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection,
And Christ himself doth rule"

OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
SHADOW-TAG.

CHADOW-TAG is a good game for
the early morning or late after
noon. when the shadows are long
and clear. 1t may be played in any
clear space where there are one or two
trees, or a house, to afford shadows.
For the shadows are the goal" where
the players are safe, and the child who
is "it," instead of tagging the others,
tries to step on their shadows as they
run from one shade to another. 1t Is
great fun, for unless you are careful
your shadow is apt to bob up unex-
pectedly and will be stepped on before
you know it.
The other afternoon / saw quite a
number of children engaged in the fas-
chatting sport, and their merry shouts
and happy laughter attested to the fun
they were having.
Sometimes the best laid calculations
as to the length of the shadow that will
be cast are found to be all at sea.
Especially when the sun is near the
horizon you will be surprised how long
a shadow even the smallest girl will
cast.
Try this game some afternoon n
sec if you do not think it is w bet
ter than the regulation tag.

SHE is VERY MEAN.

Dear Miss Doom:
l am a young nan % years of age
and have been keeping company with a
young lady of my age about two and
one-half years. The first six months, in
which we worked in the same place., she
loved me, and then she left the work,
for she said her heart ached any time
she looked at me.
But lately she treats me very mean.
She wrote me a letter and said to write
soon. | didn't write. l went myself. /
asked what she wanted. and she was so
angry and told me she did not want to
see me any more. Now, Miss Doom, do
you advise me to write to her. or go
and see her. 1 can never forget or keep
away from her. PETER.
1t is evident that she does not know
her own mind. 1t might be a good idea
for you to let her alone for a time. If
she thinks you are Indifferent it will
awaken her interest. Pretend you are
interested in another girl. l think that
will bring her around effeetually.

to do to get rid of them. They are
very annoying. By so doing o will

column. I ave little sores all over
my body which are annoying to me. as
they itch all the time. You have helped
me several times, and I hope o will
be able to help me now. X. Y. u.
Perhaps your shoe is a little large
for you. If 1t is. the friction is caused
by your foot rubbing up and down In
the shoe. Open the blister with a new.
needle or one perfectly clean, and battle
it with peroxide of hydrogen. Shake a
little talcum powder in you stockings
and wear white-soled stockings while
the foo is sore. IF you will ollow this
treatment you will find the blisters will
be of short duration.
