April 80.

Henry Oscar HoughtoD, publisher,
was born April 80, 1928, in Caledonia
county, Vermont, the sixth son and
eleventh child of Capt. William ant
Marilla CLAY Houghton, Of English
ancestry, who had emigrated to Mas
sachusetts in 1886. His father was a
farmer by trade, but of rowing dis
position, and after living in several
places in Vermont moved to New
York state, and leaving there to
finally settle in Massachusetts. Hen
ry Houghtons boyhood was spent in
Bradford, Vermont, where he attend
ed an academy for three years. Al
thirteen years of age he entered as
an apprentice in the office of the
Burlington Free Press" and devoted
his evenings to study, intending to
enter Vermont University, where one
of his brothers was student. In
1889 he returned to his parents and
spent two years in New York study
ing in an academy in Portage, and
taking up his printers trade for 4
short time previous to entering col
lege. In 1912 he entered the Univer-
sity of Vermont. He was INSULT
ciently prepared, and with but twelve
and half cents in his pockets, but
industry and frugal habits carried
him through; and he took high rank
as a scholar and essayist, and was
universally esteemed for his manly
character. Graduating in 1916 he went
to Boston, where he worked as proof
reader and reporter for the Evening
Traveller. In 1876 he bought out the
interest of Mr.. Freeman, of Freeman
e Bellies, printers, and established the
firm of Bellies & Houghton at Cam
bridge After several changes in the
firm, it became H. o. Houghton &
Co., called the River Head Press, be
cause it was on the banks of the
Charles river. Work accumulated
and the firm changed names many
times, but always Houghton was the
dominating factor. In 1878 he form
ed a combination with J. r. OSgoou
& Co., of New York, and the books
bore the imprint of Boston and New
York. In 1880 Osgood retired, and
the firm became Houghton, Mifflif
& Co. Houghton made it his aim tC
secure good workmen. DO it wei
or not at ALL" was his motto. He
made it his aim to secure well edu
| Gated workmen and not those who
would work for the lowest wages
and gave every detail of the bust
ness, and for a long time every vol
ume, his personal attention. The
works of many famous American au
thors were published by this house
Among them Emerson's, Hawthorne S
Holmes, Lowell's, Longfellow's
Whittier's and Bret Harte's. Tit
firm publishes several periodicals
now. Mr.. Houghton took great in
terest in the international copyrigh
and that this was eventually secured
was in a large measure due to hi
personal influence.
He was a member of the Methods

was for a long time superintendent
of Sunday school. He was a trls
tee of the Boston university, an
chairman of the committee of 1t
school of law. He was president Q

by Rev. r. E. Koontz, pastor Of the

ductor, brakeman, candy-butcher and
passengers in the chair car witnessed
the ceremony and assisted in shower

quets when the train reached Mos

Just a fancy we had" said the
bridegroom when asked why he
chose the flyer route, adding: eve
couldn't hire a balloon or a diving
bell. That reminds me we met on
a train and it was an appropriate
finish to our little romance. DR..
Koontz tied the knot good and fast
and there's no danger that either of
us will kick over the traces. Sure,
I'd climb the tallest pine in the state
or slide down the side of mountain

quiet wedding at the home of the
old folks, but some one had to start

RURAL DAYS At
BIG FAIR

Seattle, Sept 24.-The three days
harvest home carnival at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition which open
ed today, attracted large crowds of
farmers from all parts of the state
and from several of the adjoining
states and judging from the attend
ance today the three days devoted to
the particular tastes and interests of
the rural visitors will prove a big
success. The carnival opened today
with a rustic parade in which many
of the participants carried the vege-
tables, fruits, ETC., with which they
competed for the prizes offered The
Agricultural building had been espe-
cially decorated for the occasion and
presented an interesting and attrac-
tive picture.
The feature for tomorrow will be
a grand barbecue in the middle of the
day, followed by country sports in
the Stadium in the afternoon. The
sporting events will include such
favorite games as climbing the
creased pole, catching the creased
pig, three-legged races, potatoe races,
egg-and-spoon races, pie-eating con-
tests and constructing contests. In
the evening there will be big barn
dance In the Washington state build
ing, which has been decorated for the
occasion with pumpkins, corn shucks
and vegetables The women will be
dressed In bingham dresses, sun bon
nets and similar garb On Sunday
grand religious reunion will be held
in the natural theatre. Rustic
preachers will deliver sermons and
there will be singing of many of the
old favorite hymns and anthems,

NO USE To SIGNAL
To MARS

Washington, Sept 23.-This is a
most interesting date for star-gazers
and others interested In astronomical
science. 1t is not only the day Of the
Autumnal equinox, when the sun
crosses the celestial equator going
south, and the winter half-year be-
gins, but it is also the date of the OPP
position of Mars, when that planet
is at it's minimum distance from the
earth, 58.000,000 kilometres.
Some scientists have suggested
that it might be a good time for
Mother Earth to try the experiment
Of signaling to her nearest neighbor
Aside from all other considerations,
the success of such an experiment is
manifestly impossible at this time,
for when the two worlds are nearest
together the earth Is invisible from
Mars. This is because of the fact
that at the time of the opposition the
sun and the two planets are in line.
Thus, when the earth passes between
the sun and Mars, the bright hemis-
phere being naturally turned toward
the sun. the other one, turned toward
Mars. remains plunged in darkness
and is consequently invisible. It
would, therefore, be vain for the
Martians to try to discover something
on the earth at this time. Even if
great electric lights should be placed
on every square yard of the whole
terrestrial hemisphere turned toward
them. they would, nevertheless, be
unable to discern the illumination,
for they would be looking in the di-
rection of the dazzling sun.

Durunl Day

M. o. Hall of Ward county, one
of the members of the grain COM
mission appointed to investigate
the situation at the terminal mar
kets, is an enthusiastic booster for
Durum Bread day.
Mr.. Hall believes this is the
greatest opportunity the growers
of durum wheat have ever had to
advertise their product. He ur-
ges that every man interested in
this wheat get busy.
Mr.. Halls ideas are all right. 1t
certainly seems that the durum
wheat growers cannot remain in
active and permit this great chance
to slip away. 1t mean hundreds
Of thousands of dollars to them each
year. With durum bread popu-
larized the price of the wheat
would advance-and the big gap
between the quotations for that
and other wheat should be closed
up.
That the growers of this grain
and the millers who make a
speciality of the flour, should be
so blind to their interests as to fail
to boost for Durum Bread days
a matter of establishment to the
rest Of the people. 1t looks like
the growers are satisfied to submit
to the discrimination and that the
millers don't care for more trade.
If Mr.. Hall can ginger up the
people most directly interested
the rest Of the North Dakotans
are anxious and willing to help the
cause.
A majority of the papers Of the
state printed the equity resolutions
asking the governor to proclaim
the day. also the governors proc.
lamation. Many of them have
printed dozens of other articles
boosting the day-but they WOULD
like to see some cooperation by
the people who are financially in
terested.-Fargo Forum.

Oh lackaday. that trifies small
Should cause us so much worry.
That little ripples on the stream
Should put us in a furry.
The missing of a railroad train,
A slight delay in payment
OF bills that We have owed awhile
For shelter food and raiment,
The scratching of vandal hen
Where garden seeds are planted.
Tie antics of slot machine.
Requests that are not granted,
A neighbours children sassing back.

Are not tine things TO fume about
And struggle daily under.
The troubles that annoy today
And cause SO much commotion
Will in a year from now appear
AS specks upon the ocean.
All wool they may appear today.
But then they will be cotton
Or just a mass Of tattered rags
And most Of them forgotten.
The more attention they receive
The more they will keep growing
Until it seems your cup is full
And almost overlooking.
But If you bid them chase themselves
Go Oh and do not heed them.

Durum Day in Verse

In the Martin Searchlight, Her
man Saenger thus immortalizes
Durum Day in verse:
Our Governor, John Burke,
Beloved and we'll famed,
For the seventh day Of October
A durum Day proclaimed.
Because the flour of Drum
The common flour will beat;
Because it pays the farmer
To raise the Durum wheat.
On the seventh day of October.
Each patriot will eat
No beef. no pork no chicken,
No goose or other meat.
On the seventh day Of October.
Sweet Durum buns we eat.
And pancakes made from Durum,
With coffee from Durum wheat.
On the seventh day Of October
The cook puts in the pot
But Durum, Durum, Durum,
But meat she cooketh not.
But Durum mush and fritters,
Forget the waters not)
But Durum, Durum, Durum
Eats a first class patriot.
Oh, Governor John Burke,
It's we'll, although methinks
You only speak of eating.
But never mention drinks.
Your menu, Governor Burke,
Is incomplete, |, fear.
1t lacks extract of Durum,
1t lacks the Durum beer.
You ask me who the writer
Of these horrible verses be-
It's the printer of the Searchlight
Who dabbles in poetry.
A Beach poet has contribute
the following four additional yer
ses to the above, and we now hop
Governor John will come forwar
and tell our poet friend where h
can secure the Durum flour:
Yes, John has named a Durum day
And asks us all to eat;
Slap jacks, buns and ginger bread
All made from Drum wheat.
Our bins are filled to bursting
John,
With good, hard Durum wheat,
Yet our millers cannot furnish us
With Durum flour to eat.
And now we wish you'd tell us
John.
If it's within your power;
Between now and October seventh

We can manage that part fine;
For we live close by Yates. John.
