Advice to a Young Man.

1t is not always an easy matter to
advice young man. By this state
ment we mean, of course, that the
average young man will not always
be advised. However, we think the
following from ''Bob" Burde tie, if read
carefully, may be the means of direct
ing the "average young man" to the
road which leads to success:
Remember my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle pick or
a pen, a wheelbarrow Or a set of
books, dig bitches or edit a paper,
ring an auction bell or write funny
things, you must work. If you look
around you see the men who are the
most able to live the rest of their days
without work are the men who worked
the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing
yourself with overwork. 1t is beyond
your power to do, that on the sunny
side of thirty. They die sometimes,
but it is because they quit work at
p. m. and don't get home till a. m.
It's the interval that kills my son.
The work gives you an appetite for
your meals; it lends solidity to your
slumbers; it gives you perfect CRATE
full appreciation of holiday. There
are young men who do not work, but
the world is not proud of them. It
does not know their names even;
it just speaks of them as 'old So-and
Sos boys Nobody likes them; the
great busy world doesn't know that
they are and do there. SO find what
you want to be and do, and take off
your coat and make dust in the
world. The buster you are the less
harm you will be apt to get into, the
sweeter will be your sleep, the bright
er and happier your holidays, and the
better satisfied the world will be with

New Superintendent.

The latter part of last week, Supt.
H. R. Edwards, of the city schools,
was rendered the superintendency of
the city schools of Moorhead. On
Saturday he notified the board of the
offer he had received, and asked to be
released from his contract here. The
board was reluctant to let Mr.. Ed
wards go, but did not desire to stand
in the way of his promotion, and ac-
ceded to his request.
Mr.. Edwards recommended as his
successor, Mr.. J. T. Fuller, of Zum-
brota. Mr.. Fuller came up on Mon
day, and after comforting with the
board, was elected at the meeting on
Monday night.
Mr.. Edwards many friends will re-
gret his departure from the city, but
congratulate him on the substantial
promotion he has secured.
Mr.. J. T. Fuller, the new superin-
tendent, comes here from Zumbrota,
where he has been superintendent for
the past three years. He graduated
from Carleton College, Northfield, in
1897, and during the twelve years since
then has been superintendent at
Mantorville, Leroy, Dodge Centre
and Zumbreta, at all of which places
he has made an excellent record. He
is married and has family of three
children.
Mr.. Fuller will move here next
week and will live in Miss Hollmann's
house, formerly occupied by J. M.
Smith.

GAME SEASON.
Open Season Does not Begin
Until September 9TH.

Hunters who want to obey the law
governing the shooting of game birds
should bear in mind the fact that a
change has been made which makes
the season open on Sept. 7th instead
of on Sept. 1st. Last year a number
of hunters were "pinched" by the
game warden because they had no
license and hunted in county other
than the one in which they lived.
Any hunter who wants to shoot game
in a. county in which he does not live
is required to have license that may
be obtained from the auditor of the
county in which he lives. 1t is safest
to produce license because it often
happens that hunters may want to
cross county line in the pursuit of
game.
The open season for prairie chickens,
snipe and grouse now begins on Sept.
9TH and closes Nov. 7th.
The season for wild ducks, geese
and other aquatic fowls also opens
Sept. 7th, but closes later, namely
Dec. 1st. No person is allowed to kill
more than fifteen birds in any one
day, nor have in his possession more
than forty five prairie chickens, or
other birds, which belong to that
class, or have in his possession more
than fifty ducks or other aquatic fowl.
Any person may have any of the
game birds in his possession five days
after the season closes.

FAIR NEWS.
The Stevens County Fair, at
Morris, Sept. Is, Is and IL.

A few years ago it seemed that the
great Fairs-W Worlds Fairs, National
Fairs and State Fairs-especially State
Fairs, would completely kill the
smaller fairs. Within the past five
years, however, a decided reaction in
favor of the smaller fairs has set in.
Our State Legislature at its last ses-
sion increased the appropriation to
County Fairs, thus recognizing the
fact that they are of great and grow
ing Importance. To be awarded first
or second premium at our County
Fair is no small honor. The same class
of judges who Judge exhibits in the
live stock, grain, vegetable and fruit
departments at the State Fair, also
act as judges for our fair in these de-
partments. These are men from the
State Agriculture School, and are
thoroughly competent to decide upon
the merits of any exhibit. They are
fair and impartial, and not being local
men, they know nothing about who
the exhibitors are. Hence, when you
are awarded premium on any ex-
hibit, you may know that it is truly
meritorious.
Attention is called to the liberal
premiums offered in the live stock
departments. II you are the owner
of any good animals, bring them in.
You will be amply paid for your
trouble. 1t IS not necessary that
these animals should be especially
prepared for the show. The judges
will Judge stock upon scientific bases
perfection of type and not upon the
mere gloss.
Look over the poultry Lewiston.
You will note that some very import
ant changes and additions have been
made in this department. Very liberal
premiums are offered some as large
as are offered at the State Fair. 1t is
urged that exhibitors bring their poul-
try in neat and clean coops. A good
clean coop adds much to the exhibit,
and can easily be manufactured out
of dry goods boxes. Be sure to have
your coops large enough so that the
fowls will not be crowded.
The races this year will be better
than ever before. If you are lover
of good horse races, you can not afford
to miss them this year. The program
of races has been published, so all
we need to do here is to call attention
toit. There will be other amusements,
and you should plan on attending

MISS RING DROWNED.
Worthy Young Lady Lost in
River Sunday.

The community was startled out of
its Sunday afternoon quietness last
Sunday by the intelligence that Miss
Mary Ringhad been drowned in the
Pomme de Terre river at the mill
dam. Assistance in finding the body
was Immediately proffered, and many
people rushed to the river with the
hope of being able to render some aid.
The body was not recov cred for half
an hour and meanwhile DR.. Hulburd
had arrived, but he found that life
had already departed.
Miss Ring was good swimmer, and
with a company of young lady friends,
had gone for swim in the river just
below the mill dam. The water here
is quite deep, tho not dangerously
so for good swimmer. The water
was quite cold, and Miss Ring was
taken probably with heart failure. Her
danger was realized and Miss Made
Carey made determined effort to
save her, and nearly lost her own life
in the attempt. Eurther attempts to
rescue her and to recover the body
we're hindered by the fact that she
could not be found where she had dis
appeared. The reason for this was
that she was carried back near the
dam by the undertow. When re-
covered, the body was taken to the
home of Michael Calvin, and every
effort was made to resusitate her but
without avail, as death had been due
to heart failure.
Miss Mary Frances Ring was pop
ular and accomplished young lady.
She was born in Ireland on May 9th,
1888, the daughter of Jerry and
Hannah Ring. The family removed
to this country and to Morris when
she was child, and she grew to wo-
manhood here. AS school girl, she
was an especially bright student, and
made good record in her studies, and
was graduated from the local high
school in 1899. Since that time she
has been a successful teacher, having
taught at Chokio, Red Lake Falls and
Duluth, besides summer school work.
She was to teach at Duluth next year.
She was of kind and happy disposi-
ton, and numbered among her friends
all whom she had ever met.
She is survived by her mother, Mrs.
Hannah Ring, of this city, her half
brother, Dan Murphy, of Fargo, N.
D., her brothers, VIM. Ring, of Mon
tana, and John Ring, of Los Angeles,
CAL, and her sister, Margaret Ring,
of Ambrose, N. D.
The funeral was held from the
Assumption church on Wednesday
morning and was attended by large
concourse of sorrowing friends, who
have the deepest sympathy for the
relatives in their sorrow. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Murphy, VIM. Ring and
Margaret Ring we're here to attend
the funeral. i

New Ditching Machine.

Fred D. Meyer, of this city, has
been allowed a patent on new ditch
ing machine which will do much better
work than the present type of dredges
used. Mr.. Meyer has been working
on his machine off and on for the past
four years, and only completed it the
past winter. The necessity of new
type of machine was called to his at
tention by the ditching operations in
Illinois, his old home, and the ditching
operations here.
Specifications for the large drainage
bitches always call for V-shaped
ditch, but these bitches are dug with
a steam dredge, and are as wide if not
wider at the bottom than they are at
the top. The result is that these
bitches cave easily, and need to be
cleaned out, and a further AFFECTION is
found in that much more dirt is re-
moved than necessary, and this dirt
becomes an additional damage to the
fields ditched
Mr.. Meyer, therefore, has built
model ditching machine which will
dig ditch that is wider at the top
than at the bottom. This is accom-
plished by movable crane which can
be set at any angle or at any height.
The shovel is fastened directly be-
meath this crane, and travels from one
end to the other of the crane. He has
also added a shovel cleaning device
which will save considerable time.
This new ditcher could be mounted
on dredge, but Mr.. Meyer THINKS
better work could be done by starting
at the outlet of the ditch and working
up, and thus also much damage could
be saved which is now caused by the
flood of water necessary to float the
dredge.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Meyer may be
successful in putting this machine On
the market, not only for the personal
reward that would come to Morris
citizen, but also because it would
make much better type of drainage
ditch.
