PROTEST AGAINST RAID
AntIer American Says That Town 10
Getting Some Very unsaVery
Advertising.

Antler American: The Club which
has been conducted In the s. C. Burkett
building the past few months, was
raided by the city officials last Satur-
day night, but 1t seems that in some
manner the janitor escaped the
clutches of Antler's rigid enforcers Of
the law. Much indignation prevails
among the members for this uncalled
for action on the part of the officials.
The complaint was sworn to by Mayor
Chas. Bready before Judge J. D. Muir
ray of this city. n- ..a
Now while we do not believe in, nor
advocate. violation of the North Dako-
ia prohibition laws, 1t does seem to us
that these gentlemen are taking alto
gether too much interest in the moral,
physical and mental welfare of other
peoples business and that II 1t were
"cut out" for a time, the town would
be much better off.
The editor of this sheet was at Will
liston and other towns in the western
part Of the state this week and the OPP
inion prevails out there that we must
be harboring band of desperate Grim
inals owing to the undesirable adver-
tising that we have been receiving oi
late.
We do not presume for moment tc
dictate to our "all-wise" elders but
when the best conducted and quietest
town in the county is being continually
brought before the public as a blot
on the face Of the county 1t seems
high time that someone got busy.
One OF the good and law abiding
citizens was "jugged" and put in th'
city lookup Tuesday night because HI
endeavored to tell one of the numer
Gus "tin star marshals that he dit
not approve Of the city's action.
Instead of trying to create harmon!
among the townspeople, the official
are continually creating dlsturbanc
over matters which could be easil!
disposed OF with no publicity what
ever.
While the building which was raide'
Saturday night was being relieved Q
the liquor 1t contained someone heave
a brick at one Of the new deputies an
nearly killed the drayman. This wa
entirely out Of reason and was total
uncalled for and the guilty one shoul
be punished.
We hope that from now on, the cit
will be conducted in a manner to coin
eide with the opinions OF the official
and thus alleviate the strife that ha
been so hot the past few days.

FIGHT is STILL ON.
Sheridan County Unable to Settle Its
Imnroveu1ent Troubles.

McClusky, N. D., Aug. 81. - The
question of the expenditure of county
funds for the construction of a court
house and Jail at McClusky, the tenn
porary county seat Of Sheridan coun-
ty, is still somewhat unsettled. The
original suit, started by w. J. Burt,
against the board Of commissioners
to enjoin them from taking any steps
towards making the proposed inn
provement, was dismissed by stipula-

papers in the case were incorrectly
drawn.
Al second suit, however, is to be
started within short time, but the
exact nature of the proposed action
has not been given out. The fight
grows out of the scrap that is brew
ing for count seat honors and fol
which Goodrich and Denhoff are the
main contenders.

Frozen Delights.

An ice cream freezer is a profitable
investment and delight all summer
long to our farmer friends who have
access to ice. The half gallon size is
ample for family of of five and re-
quires much less ice than a gallon
freezer. A frozen dessert requires
only fraction of the time needed to
make pie and the children can do the
rest, the actual freezing consuming
lust seven minutes from start to finish.
For a foundation for fruit sherbets
take two cups of sugar, add very
little cold water and let boil down to a
thick syrup. When cold add the juice
of lemon. Wash the berries straw
berries, cherries, raspberries, black
berries or currants-mash them fine
and strain to remove the seeds, stir in
to the syrup and add sufficient sweet
milk or SKINNED milk will do as well
as any other, to fill the freezer almost
to the top, then freeze. For ice cream
mix two cups of sugar with the beaten
yolks of two eggs, add one quart Of
new milk and one pint of rich cream.
Fold in the stiffly beaten whites and
flavor well. remembering that both the
flavor and the sweetness freeze out.
The quantity given just fills half gal

Whv Hair Turns GRAY.

A German anthropologist has been
upsetting many theories and ideas long
prevalent regarding gray hairs. One
is that any sudden fright or shock may
turn the hair gray. He says that ex-
animation of the minute pigment cells
at the roots show that their constituent
qualities never alter. The baby of a
few months has the same color in his
hair cells as he will have when he is a
white man of 70 The turning
of hair to gray is natural process.
Hairs with pigment of strong color fall
out and are replaced with hair of diff
ferent shade, which are either. poor
pigment or have none. Gray hairs,
therefore, are not those which at one
time were colored with pigment and
have become bleached, but are new
hairs and have become bleached either
through sickness or inherited peculiar

How to Eascinate.

Quite undeniable is the fact that the
power of fascination is invaluable to
men as we'll as women for influencing
the imagination or will of the people
with whom they come in contact. 1t is
generally supposed to be gift of the
good fairies that preside at our birth.
1t is, however, a quality that it is not
too difficult to acquire according to one
authority on Mental Fascination.
The average person possessing self
confidence and force can, and does, ex-
ert mental fascination over others with
whom he comes in contact, although it
requires developed will to become an
expert, il seems. In considering the
qualities that go to make up the person
in whom mental fascination is likely to
be strongly developed are the follow
ing:
Physical well-being.
Belief in ones self Cultivate the
81 can and will"
Poise. Cultivate the calm, masterful
mood.
Fearlessness. for fear is the most
negative emotion in the being of man.
| Concentration. Do one thing at a
time and do it with all the power that
is in you.
Fixity of purpose Cultivate the
bulldog quality; it is needed.
The man or woman who wishes to be
Successful with his or her kind must be
surrounded with a positive mental
atmosphere. This positive, yet gentle,
mental atmosphere is that subtle in
fiuence that emanates from the strong
men of affairs and influences people.
The higher the opinion person has of
himself or herself the less he or she is
cast down over even serious drawbacks.
