of use of the waters for private or

REVEILLE.

Quoting from a great writer:
"The state is Gods state just as
much as the church is Gods
church." We cannot neglect the
one and expect the other to have
true life and earnestness.
We must have the state reform
ed and corrected of all evil then
will follow in natural sequence
that righteousness which alone
exalteth nation. If man is an
honest patriot he is an honest
Christian; he can't be one with
out being the other also. He can't
love God unless he loves his city,
his country, where his earthly
home is, where are all his dearest
ties, and, unless he wills to sec
that well-ordered seven days in
the week, he is no Christian man,
no gentleman. All creation be-
longs to the Creator.
"The cattle upon a thousand
hills are thine" "What is man
that thou art mindful of him and
the son of man that thou so re.
gardest him." Oh, let us all try

PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The purpose of OUR schools is
often lost sight of. 1t is too often
believed that Our pupils are mere
receptacles of knowledge and that
the more subtle processes of edu-
cation whereby influences now TN.
seen are to promote the welfare
of the child for life are merely
waste of time. Standing, as the
public schools do, for the creation
of the best type of citizenship,
there is not full realization nor
recognition of the work they are
doing today for the state and for
the world. Everything which
adds to their effectiveness, which
makes the child fuller, broader
or more versatile man or woman,
which refnes and elevates, but
which yet does not produce imme-
diately computable results, is too
often set down by these self-con-
stituted critics as a "fad." So,
drawing, which gives expression
to the perceptive faculties, music
which sweetens and ennobles life,
cooking and sewing and manual
training which add directly to the
earning power of the child, which
render the home of the future citi-
zen and patriot more attractive
and heighten the art of living
these all come under the ban of
criticism.
When, in 1878, it was determine
ed in Boston that children of
seven years and under were as
worthy to be educated at public
expense as those who were fitting
themselves for the learned profess
sions, there were objections to
this extravaganza. Even the foun-
dation studies of reading, writing
and arithmetic were thought need
less to be taught at public ex-
pense. Let us, then, be patient
with the critics, but let us not
cease making our schools as effec-
tive as possible, choosing deliber-
ately, but fearlessly, what we may
be sure will conserve their high
est good.-W. Prescott Adams.

Hawaii's frmest and most waltz

Lethbridge Herald: E. @. Guiding
ton donned his spurs and headed for
the states, where he thinks he can
round up carload of capitalists and
bring them in here and turn them loose.
Mr. Cuddington says he has travelled
in nearly every state in the United
States and Canada and never before in
his life saw as great an opportunity
placed within the grasp of the so.called
common people as there is here today.
One of the enterprises he has in mind
is planting 40 acres into fruit, just on
the north side of town, and another is
boring for gas and coal. Mr.. Guiding
ton is quite an expert in the dairy hne
and has already built fine large ice
house, and expects to furnish the ,city
with ice cream and dairy products the
the coming season.
Mr.. Cuddington left Oakes Saturday
for his old home in Michigan, but says
he will be back at Winifred, Canada,
by Jan. 1st.

POULTRY EXHIBIT
WAS VERY SELECT
Last Market Day Showed That
Many Of Our Farmers Are
Good Chicken Fanciers.
Many Fine Specimens Too of
Turkeys, Geese and Ducks
Are in the Display.

Last Saturday was November Market
Day and the last one of this year. The
committee made decided hit by offer
ing a nice list Of premiums for fancy
poultry, live and dressed, and pumpkin
pies which are SO popular in the good
old Thanksgiving time. The weather
was unfortunate, the roads being soft
and slushy and rain and snow threat
,ened in the morning. Many people
from distance were doubtless kept at
home, nevertheless there was bigger
crowd than some towns see all year.
There were .fifty-one exhibits of
chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and
guineas. The class, quality and breed
ing of birds was exceedingly high.
Handsome birds every one, very few
better could be seen at poultry show
or fair. Several breeds were brought
that were not on the list but premiums
were paid where deserved just the
same. Aside from the turkeys weigh
ing as high as twenty eight pounds the
chickens exhibits called out most ad-
miration. The White Wyandottes seemed
to have the call for numbers. Buff
Cochins, Buff Rocks, Barred Plymouth
Rocks and Rhode Island Reds were
well represented. The Golden Wyan-
dottes were to the reporters eye the
showiest birds on display. There were
still other breeds of chickens, and
ducks, both white and colored, enor-
NOUS big geese and noisy guineas.
The awarding committee was R.. A.
Middangh, Father Baker, w. R. Bishop
and A. G. Ramharter with Charley L.
Marshall as guide and clerk. A very
amusing circumstance occurred when
sone of the committee said, "yes, No.
IA gets first on Barred Plymouths. "
No sooner did he hear it than did Mr..
Barred Plymouth, a hearty young
cockerel in cage No. 14, let loose his
clarion voice with 3 vigor that near
shivered the Stats while his partner
Biddy looked up at him in admiration.

Grand Forks Herald: If the express

indication of sentiment there is not
much doubt as to the identity of the
men who are regarded as the logical
candidates of the progressive element
for the United States senate. Those
men are Thos. Marshall and A. j. Gron-
ma. That is the sentiment expressed
by all of the ''insurgent" newspapers

NORTH DAKOTA LAND.

The good land in this state,
every acre Of it, can produce at
q low estimate from $l2.OO to
$500 per acre. 1t can be made
to produce $1,000 per acre. If
it produces 1890 per acre, that
is 10 per cent on. q $4,000 an
acre farm. You think that if
some one would come and offer
you $50. 90 or $500 or $lOO. 90 an
acre you would stick him. Now,
if gou can't buy an equal number
of acres for less money, don't
sell your land. Hold on to it.
The time will come when it. will
be worth $4,000 an acre If you
take care of it, and there is no
reason why it should not be
worth $3.50 .00.-James j. Hill.

Best Advertising Medium.

The Times is justly proud of its cir
'culation. There isn't week but new
names are added to the ist-and they
are mostly people living in the Oakes
Country too. Last week we printed 6s
more copies than foyr weeks before,
and none were left when our regular
list of subscribers were served. The
Times is without question the largest
home print paper in this section-it has
the largest circulation-hence is the
best advertising medium.
