At the time Of the Dimmick secession in 1870 the
church had left membership of but sixtyseven and
Sunday school enrolment of no. in total population
of 1000. Rev. George D. Stewart came pastor in
September 1870, and remained with the struggling
congregation through the panic and the grasshopper
years. All the time heavy debt was resting on
the congregation but it grew steadily, and when he
left on a call to Fort Madison, Ia in 1877, the
gregaton numbered 1885, with the like number in the
Sunday school OF the persons uniting with the church
during Dr. Stewards passionate only nine now remain:

Stewart ordained and installed October 81, 1877,
his father, Rev. w. w. Harsha, d. D., being the
preacher of the day. Mr.. Harsha remained with the
church almost fifteen years. and during that time the
standing debt materially reduced interest charges
cut down. and the membership increased to 200, the
Sunday school also having encouraging growth.

and he is obliged therefore to LAY off,
his men,
The consuming or purchasing power
of these men Is in turn reduced to
nothing and they, in turn, affect still
other producers.
The chain is an endless one. Even
the farmer is not exempt from the i'm
fiuences. Unemployed labor must econ
omize in everything, including food
stuffs. The sale for products of the
farm becomes lessened and prices fall
accordingly.
The great prosperity of the farmer
during the past few years has called
forth universal comment. What has
been back of that prosperity? Not only
good crops resulting from advanced
scientific methods OF farming, but the
fact that the farmer has awakened
gradually to the realization that here is
something in life besides drudgery:
that he could avail himself of comforts
and pleasures. He had been accus-
toned to boarding what little cash he
could scrape together instead of keep
ing it in Notwithstanding it work
ing. When he began to spend his
iA1ODEy lOE SOAllG VI AllG LIliGlBS that
helped to make life worth living that
cash soon commenced coming back to
him a hundred fold because in its
travels it had materially enhanced the
value of what he himself was produc-
ing.
The farmers are the subject of severe
criticism for their extravaganza in
buying automobiles. Yet, the very fact
that they are doing so is the underly-
ing reason for their being able to buy
them. More plainly speaking, the
farmers are getting their automobiles
and, in fact, are getting them without
cost, This statement, upon first thought
may appear absurd; but let us reverse
the process of reasoning and see if it is
not true.
The farmers, by expanding millions
of dollars for the comforts and enjoy
ments OF life-even fol-. the luxuries; if
you will-are' creating enormous OPP
portunities for the employment of
labor. The employment of that labor
in turn increases the consuming and
purchasing power of labor with the
resulting increase in the value Of what
it purchases and consumes, the great
est items of which are the food stuffs
the products Of the farm.
Take the farmers who. today. have
the cash to pay for comforts, for auto
mobiles or other so-called luxuries. Let
them Az suddenly stop and in less than
year it would be found that they
would have no surplus to buy with.
The whole country would quickly re-
vert to the old order of things, the
soup-house, low prices for farm pro-
ducts and the resulting depreciation of
farm properties. The man who decries
the spending Of money which goes to
pay for the products Of labor with the
idea that such expenditures are detri-
mental to the Industrial welfare of the
people as a whole. does SO either be-
cause he himself happens to be so sit
uated that he cannot profit by the mis-
fortunes of others or because he is not
menally broad enough to comprehend
fully the process necessary to produce
industrial well-being and general pros
perity.

The Psychology of WALKING.

Atlantic: Walking is not merely
moving two legs rhythmically over
certain intervals Of ground. 1t is the
primal and the only way to know the
world, the deliberate entering into an
inht ritance whose parts are wind and
weather, sky and prospect, men and
animals, and all vital enjoyment. The
bicycle has some advantage in point
of speed, and gives a deceptive sense
of power; but it is a foe to observa-
ton. All carriages, whether propelled
by horse or moter, insulate the trav-
eler from the ground, steal his at
tention fom the world through which
he passes. and utterly destroy all feel
ing of achievement. The very word
mile" is a walkers word-mills
passus-a thousand double PAGES So
the Roman legions measured their
conquering advances; so the legion Of
the day. $50 many thousand buffets
have mine own two feet given the re-
sisting soil 'twixt sun and sun; SO
many thousand times have the good
of calf and thigh lent their
elastic force" What has the dusty
reader of igurcs on d dial to ma..h
with that?

If there are any evils existing in the
business world today which have not
been attributed to the automobile
someone had better speak up and point
them out quickly or the opportunity
will be lost.
The wiseacres, the would-be phil
osophers and the self appointed guard
isns Of other peoples affairs have pro-
claimed the widespread purchases of
automobiles to be an economic waste
which, if not checked, is going to cause
the ruination of the country and other
kinds of calamities. All of which can
be classified as nothing more dignifed
than mere rot"
A more intelligent analysis Of facts
and conditions will readily prove that
quite the contrary is true, and that to
the automobile industry the country
is indebted for a very material share
of it's unprecedented prosperity dur
ing the past five years.
In substantiation of this assertion it
is merely necessary to point out that
the one thing essential to general pros
perity is the free and rapid circulation
of money. A single dollar-or a single
penny, for that matter-kept is circu-
lation is a greater factor in producing
prosperity than the entire currency Of
the country, were the latter to remain
untouched in safety deposits vaults or
sewed up in the mattresses and hid
den under the carpets of the nation.
Economic waste? Bosh! There is
no economic waste like idle labor The
automobile industry provides the
means of livelihood for million peo-
pie.
First. there are the vast plants which
have employed thousands of skilled
builders in their construction. There
are the plants devoted to making ma
chinery for making the parts that en-
ter into the motor car. There are the
thousands upon thousands of skilled
artisans employed in the making of the
parts. There are thousands of sales
men engaged in the plan of distribu-
ton.
Imagine yourself awakening tomor-
row morning and finding the wheels
Of the motor car industry stopped-not
70 start again. Imagine also several
hundred thousand workmen suddenly
cut OF from the means of sustenance
Imagine, then, the result of the trades
men, the merchant, the butcher, the
grocer, the dry goods, the clothing and
the shoe man, as we'll as the hundred
and one others with whom these wages
are spent, to say nothing of the stop
ping Of the circulation of the cash be-
yond those points.
But you may say that would affect
only the cities In which automobiles
are made. Would it? The man who
receives the cash for his labor from
the automobile manufacturer spends il
first with his home retail merchant.
The retailer buys from the wholesaler.
If the business of the latter be curtail-
ed his requirements for help are also
curtailed. The wholesalers buy from
the various manufacturers who are
scattered from one end of the coun-
try to the other. The wholesalers bus
mess having been reduced, the manu-
facturers' business is likewise cut down

LARGE NUMBER
HEAR MAYNARDS
TWO SPLENDID ADDRESSES ON
HEALTH AND SELF MASTERY
HEARD BY A. c. STUDENTS AND
FARGO PEOPLE YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.

A fair sized audience of A. G. stu
dents listened to the instructive talks
of Mr.. and Mrs. Maynard ait the arr
mory yesterday afternoon Both
speakers talked along entirely differ
ent lines than the subjects they spoke
on Thursday
Mrs. Maynard's talk was especially
interesting. She took as her chief
illustration the now famous French
play Chanticler. Each morning"
said Mrs. Maynard, "Chanticler awoke
the flock with his loud cook-I-doo-
del-doo, and all because he thought
that it was mis- divine power that
caused the sun TO rise The theory OF
Mr. Rooster, though not true, was
good one and the present day genera
ton Of young men and women must
awake early in their life for there is
a great work for them, and though like
the rooster they will not cause the sun
to rise, they, with good strong bodies
and strong minds like they grow out
here in North Dakota, will be neces-
sary TO keep the standards of the ma
ton out of the mlre"
Mr.. Maynards talk, though delivered
rapidly because of lack of time, was
an especially brilliant illustration of
good sound thinking along the most
progressive lines. He emphasized time
and again the Importance of self
mastery Of mind and body.
1--WE say How do you do? when we
meet a friend in the morning. What
do we mean or what does the phrase
mean? 1t means this: Are you sound
of mind, limb and body? Can you eat
and digest good meal? Can you read
and digest a wise book? These are
questions for us all to ask ourselves?
"A man between the ages of 40 and
so should be complete master Of his
mind and body. Ignorance of the re-
quirements Of health in our most cul.
tured centers is more of a@truth than
fiction"
A number of people who had heard
the Maynards previously and some
who had not been able to avail them
selves of the privilege of hearing them
before went out to the "A. c. yesterday
from the city to hear the talks.

in railroading seem likely to consti-

the state of Illinois gives at the state
