DESPERATE REMEDIES

The appeal of the ''insurgent" lead
ers in other states to the people OF
this state to vote for Messrs. Gronna
and Marshall will have little weight
with the voters. Fortunately for
most of us, we have the intelligence
and discernment to know how to vote
and what are the issues of the cam
paign. We know whether we want
to paddle our own political canoes or
be tails to some aspiring kites in
other states. We know pretty nearly
what is the record OF Senator Nc
Cumber and Congressman Hanna,
and we know what has been the rec
ord of Mr.. Marshall, during all of his
years in public life and of Mr..
Gronna during his several terms as
congressman. We know, also, that a
good many of these insurgent leaders
who come out with specious appeal
to the voters Of the state of North
Dakota, are making an open fight on
the administration of President Taft
Down in South Dakota they had the
interference Of this band of political
bushwhackers, claiming all the righ-
teousness and honor in politics, and
the people of that state returned Con-

ministration of President Taft. In
Iowa, desperate efforts were made by
the insurgent senator's and congress-
men to defeat the denomination of
Governor Carroll and both senators

tide. The voters renominated Car

control of the state convention and
indorse President Taft and his admin
istratiOn.
The insurgent candidates for office
in this state are pretty we'll known
here. They would do better to trust
to their records in this state as Off
Gals and candidates for Office than
to bring in the perfunctory and hol-
low Endorsement of bunch of out
side politicians. engaged in warfare
upon the republican party. Let us
North Dakotans settle our own DO
litical choices, without the gratuitous
and unsolicited suggestion and advice
of men whose services Just at the
present time seem to be pretty badly
needed in their own states.
North Dakota voters will select
their own senators and congressman.

signers of the recent advice to voters.

Literary "Ghosts."

According to a writer in La Revue
Of Paris, the rank and file of novelists
in France draw on an average $500 for
each book, and many of them are
thankful to get half that amount. On
the other hand, those at the top of the
tree earn large incomes, and some of
them undertake more commissions
than they can fulfill. Recourse is
then had to literary GHOSTS" of whom
there are plenty in Paris, willing to
furnish a passable imitation of any
writer's work. Popular novelists do
not always take the trouble to read
the books published under their
names. Some years ago a ghost"
with a grievance against his employer
interpolated in the book ordered from
him two chapters of Mime. Bovary."
altering nothing but the names Of the
characters. The woman who signed
the book in order to clear herself from
the charge of plagiarism had to con-

A Clash With Gagged Pythons.

ran to his aid. but it was some min

him. Then the largest of the four
fixed himself firmly with his tail on a
rafter at the top Of the cage and made
savage bites at us. When we had
thrown sack over his head we had to
secure further assistance to unloosen
his tail. No sooner had we with great
effort got it loose than the monster
twisted itself around Heinrich's right
leg and began to Irvine itself higher
up his body. 1t was a life and death
struggle that then ensued. but by ex-
erting all our might we at last sue

Why the Vases Were Valuable.

There's china expert in one of the

an amusing little trade Of his own on
the side. 1t is nothing more or less
than deciding the value of rare china

he said, with laugh. "Not so very
long ago was called in to arbitrate
between an irate householder and one
of the big moving firms. She said with
sobs that the movers had broken a
pair Of vases which she valued at 500.
The movers, although willing to make
restitution, considered the sum exor-
bitant. Well, looked at the pieces
and found the value about $25. I told
the woman so quietly. 4 know that

A Whales Breathing.

Circus In Paris Streets,

Writing of street life in Paris, Will
helm Feldmann says in the Welt Spie-
gel that the unique features are the
gymnastic and acrobatic performances
which one sees there. Wherever traf-
,fic will permit one may expect to see
the street acrobats, men, women and
children, spread their carpet, erect
their apparatus and, to the accompa-
niment Of few instruments, some
times only drum, give their perform
ances. Feats of strength, balancing
and pyramid building are performed,
and then one of the youngsters in
tights collects the coppers from the
crowd which usually congregates.
This done, the performers throw long
cloaks over their tights and move on
with their wagon to the next halting
place. 1917 t~s..ss* ..4.s. .rt4 Il 9s

Cheerfulness,

Cheerfuiness is the great cure. II
you are not cheerful already try to
acquire the habit. 1t will not require
much trying either. Accordingly as
one likes or dislikes beings and things
he becomes cheerful or the opposite.

inanimate objects lies in wait for
every one. Be on your guard. You
can drive it off by liking bird or a
flower. 5.

This type of hog-house, while well
adapted to the climate of Maryland
and other southern states. would also
answer every purpose I'm the north.
A hog does not suffer from cold,
provided he is kept perfectly dry; and
we believe it. is better that the entire
mont of the house should be open
even during the coolest weather, than
20 confine the animals in a tightly
built structure.
Even the best tight houses rarely

nearly always draughty. a condition
which is extremely bad for hogs.
Poultry raisers are coming to learn
that the best houses for their use are
the open front style and hog raisers
will also doubtless accept the same
views in time
In the Maryland house there are
seven divisions, each feet wide. The
feeding alley Is at the front; and down
the center of the floor, which is of
cement, runs a division about one foot
ueep and feet wide. This separates
each pen into three divisions and into
this is swept all of the waste bedding
and droppings.
The bedding quarters are at the
back of the house.
All slaughtering is done in this
house. BY closing the gates and open
ing the double doors at each end q
wagon can be driven through.
The house is supplied with running
water and the troughs are made o
cast-iron. 1t is probable. however
that when the cast-iron troughs be
come useless and rust. cement troughs
will be installed in their place.
This type of house Is cool in the
summer because it is high enough tc
admit Of abundance of air and 1t is
not too cool in the winter.
