Why Do The Children Love You

Why Do The Children Love You.
As we look at some families where
the children seem to just worship
their parents, and again we see 9TH
ers where the children seem TO think
more of everybody else than they do
OF their parents. and we pause and
exclaim why is It? Parents do you
wish for your children to love and re-
spoct you? II you do, when your child
comes to you for advice be sure to
give good advice; don't say. "Oh. go
way, don't bother me. go ask your
mother" or some such answer. Or
II they come to their mother perhaps
she says Go to your father, am
busy" The child viii soon get afraid

head or skin a finger. and when they
wou'd go their parents for a kind
word ~ comfort they would say:
well. next time look where you are
going and don't be so awkward; go
long now and hush" That child will
certainly find out sooner or later that
its parents have no love or sympathy
for II, and II will grow up without an
kind feeling toward that parent. But
ON the other hand let the child come
to the parents for advice, and II kind
words are spoken the child will never
forget Il, and will always look with
respect on that parent. Il the little

CLIMATIC CHANGES
THE "GREAT AMERICAN DESERT"

The editor of the Billings County

showed a green Missouri. blue Wis
consin, a brown Iowa, and all west
was in light buff and inscribed "The
Great American Desert" Hot winds
dry and scorching, small crops, raised
with exceeding difficulty, winters
made uncomfortable by intense cold
and bowling storms, all contributed
to fireside tales of hardship, inducing
the young with dread and still de-
sire to see it themselves. Gradually

ence. The hot winds became less
frequent and of less intensity. The
power of the wintry storms was brok-
en- by groves. The plowed fields and
wooded patches conserved moisture
and made rains of more frequent &C.
currence until the greater portion of
the so-called desert became the gran
airy, eff and pork barrel of. the ma
ton. From this we deduct the fact
that climate does change under the
hand Of man. The wind, possibly does
blow where it listeth, and It may be
impossible for a man to add hand
breath to his stature: acting together
over the face Of the Who'll country the
effect will even change the face Of
nature, though The Bad Lands them
selves were once without vegetation

have received enough Of moisture to
promote successful farming, and that
pursuit is being followed more closely.

statement. The environment is de-

Geographical Advantages.
Bismarck is thrown into special
prominence at this time by reason of
her geographic position commercially.
A glance at the map of North Dako-
ia will convince all who care to study
the situation that as a distributing
point Bismarck is unequalled by any
city in the west-Fargo being the
nearest competitor on the east; Mi
not on the north; Aberdeen, S. D., on
the south. The cities mentioned
are so far removed from US that
our commercial interests do not con-
fict in the least Wholesale estab-
lishments and storage plants do an
: immense business here, while the In
ternational Harvester Company and
, the J. I. Case Thresher Company have
opened large distributing depots at
this point. A large Touring mill has
been completed, and the entire out
put of this mill already has mark
ct. The large number of commercial
travellers who reside in Bismarck COW
er territory as far west as Spokane.
Ov-r ninety travelling men make their
headquarters at Bismarck.
There is room for great many DIFF
ferent lines of trade in this city, e.
pecially wholesale and manufacture
ing establishments, a wholesale
harness and saddlery, also wholesale
hardware concerns, would find excel
lent openings here. The extremely
low price of coal should make Bis
marck a manufacturing center. A
wooden mill, fax fiber mill, cornice
works and FOUNDRY are some OF the
manufacturing enterprises that would
find a first class opening here. Our
splendid clay banks and the great
demand for good building material
would put brick yard on paying
basis from the very first, and is badly
needed. Many other lines are open,
and any inquiry directed to- the secre-
tary Of the Bismarck Commercial
Club, will receive a ready response.
