Cooperstown Courier: T h e
election is over, that is, the pri-
mary election, and the people by
their votes have nominated a re-
publican ticket. The ticket Sc
lected by the voters does not re-
represent any Particular faction
of the republican party because
both sides have won nominations,
therefore it is the nominated ticket
of the republican party of North
Dakota and as such is entitled to
the support of every republican in
this state. The nominees taken
as a whole are all good, repre-
sentative citizens and worthy of
the support of their party. The
Courier believes that the best in.
terests of the republican party of
this state can be best subserved
by all uniting and endeavoring to
elect that ticket next November.
There is no sense in keeping up
this everlasting quarrel and turn
ing over the state to the demo-
cratic party.

New Town Of Energy

The site which has been chosen
for the new town of Energy lies
about fourteen miles west of Un-
derwood on the hanks of the Mis-.
souri, on what is known as Hancock
bottoms. It is said this was the
site chosen for Bismarck when the
first surveyors of the Northern
Pacific came through this country,
but they later decided to establish
Bismarck where it now stands.
A town is now being laid out
there and the plat will be fled in
the county register of deeds Office
within the next ten days. They
have already interested various
parties in the east who have partly
oontractedt put mp factories. One
factory will utilize fax straw in

Great as nas been the gain during
the last twelve months In valuable ex-
perience for aviators. progress has
been attended with appalling loss of
life. The worst feature of it is that
this loss was for the part, per.
haps wholly. useless. An aviator up
alone comes to grief and the secret of
his disaster may be known.
Other aviators may ascend with equal
~ faulty machinery Of make the same
mistakes in manipulation: for there is
no one to warn them.
Aviator Harmonssaysathat1sueces 7iry
aviation is not possible unless the op-
orator is fearless. For military. pur-
poses this spirit will be found ii;
abundance. The submarines prove
that. European governments are en-
couraging daring flights in military
aeroplanes. The knowledge of the ex-
perimenter is shared with comrades.
and the government gets the benefit:
Independent experiments may yet be
governed by regulations and be under
the eyes of experts from start to fin-
ish. 1t will then be possible to profit
by every mistake.

Don't Ignore the Flies

One of the worst factors in the
spread of contagious diseases is the
innocent appearing house.fIy-or
as it is becoming known, the ty-
phoid fly. Brought to life among
the offal, his presence in the house
is a constant menace. Ifyou want
to save yourself and family from
serious sickness-you should join
in the fight against the flies.
See that your house is screened
we'll, and have fly paper or fly poi
son handy for those that manage
to dodge the screens and see that
your tradesmen do the same.
If people will do this there will
be less sickness in their homes
and the mortality among babies
will decrease.-Forum.

Laid to Rest

The grim angel of death entered
the home of one of the most pro-
minent families of Coleharbor, and
called away Miss Gerda, the dear,
beloved daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nils Nelson.
Miss Gerda was taken sick four
weeks prior to her untimely death
when DR.. Schler of Underwood
was summoned and pronounced
her illness appendicitis.
One day later when more was
learned of the case she was taken
to the Bismarck Evangelical hospi-
tai to undergo an operation.
The tender care of the doctors,
special nurse, and family, brought
her on the way to recovery till dan
ger was almost over, and hopes grew
strong but could not avail. Pull
monary oedema set in and her
spirit took its flight Saturday
morning, July 9th.
Miss Gerda Nelson was born at
Henning, Mimi, July 81, 1890,
thus attaining the age of nineteen
years, eleven months, nine days.
The funeral services were held
at two o'clock Monday afternoon at
the Swedish Baptist church in
Coleharbor. Miss Gertrude was
laid in her last resting place in the
Coleharbor cemetery, Revs. Lar
son and Hodges officiating. The
deepest sympathy Of all her friends
goes out to the heart. broken fam

six sisters, and one brother.

to play the instruments she had
learned, and to sing. The pleasant
ways, the smile on her sweet face,
the earnestness, and gentleness of
manner impress upon us the belief
that she was one of the angelic
ones of earth. She died, too, at a
time when. life was apparently
blossoming before her. How sad
to reconcile ourselves to the loss of
a dear one, when their continued
presence is SO necessary to our
happiness. But may we hope that
the same sweet voice and gentle
coniding heart that was so dear,
is waiting for us in the summer
land, is not dead but gone before.
Fortunate it would be if all could
be as certain of being among the
angels as our darling Gerda was.
Her earnest prayer and singing
spiritual hymns of love and praise
to God while in pain, and her
peaceful quiet death verify that
she died to be with Jesus and that
our loss is her eternal gaip.
In MEMoR1AM
Some hearts are heavy with sorrow,
Some hearts with pain are pressed;
Some hearts are sad and lonely,
But one true heart is at rest.
Some hearts will know more Or
row,
Some hearts will wearier grow;
But one heart is done with trouble,
And has left this world below.
Some hearts will be sad and lonely,
For many and many and many a
day;
But think of her in her happy
home
And drive all sadness away. /,
For she is at rest with Jesus.
In the arms of our Father pressed;
And although some hearts are
aching,
There's one pure heart at rest.
Oh! May we all be prepared
To enter that Heavenly bliss;
All be ready to meet our God
Az our dear Ge1da met hers.

from his uncle's own lips:
Take a piece of paper and put down

quire. Then 20 over II and see that
1t contains nothing you can possibly
do without
Imagine yourself In bed. what have
you got on? Very well: put 1t down.

What do you doy Wash yourself.
What do you wash Yourself with?
Soap. Put down soap. Go on till you
have finished Then take your clothes.
Begin mt your feet What do you wear
on your feet? Eoots, shoes. socks
Put them down. Work up till you get
to your head What do you want be-
sides clothes? Put down everything.
This Is the plan the old gentleman
always pursued. The list made. he
would go over 1t carefully to see that
he had forgotten nothing Then he
would go over it again and strike out
everything 1t was possible to dispense
with. Then he would lose the list.
