"Swallowed up in the fog likely" he
admitted, snufing the air like a
pointer dog. We'll find it banked
pretty heavy outside, or I'm a lubber.
Well, so much the better for our job.

However l may have disliked and

proved himself an able seaman and a
smart officer. He comprehended every

in motion, moving slowly, yet steadily,
toward the black vacancy outlined by
the harbor lights on either hand.
There was no disturbing sound to be-

proved by the way we were steadily
drawing up toward the outer lights,

Relieve Mr.. futile in the engine

Very good. Johnson, go on up

Belgium is. perhaps the most pros
porous state in Europe, as well as the
most thickly settled. The late kings
reign was at least marked by an enor-
nous advance in wealth and social re-
form. One of the country's special ad.
vantages is that its international neu-
t%ralization permits it to dispense with
a navy, while the Belgian army Is
maintained on a very small and mex
%pensive basis.

Such lovely day we did have for
the picnic! The only way we could
keep it at the appointed place was
estimated that about wo hundred peo-
pie in all turned out for the occa-
sion in spite of the tempestuous at
mospheric conditions.
Those who did come felt amply
repaid for the effort, as the program
was carried out according to the ad-
vertised schedule, with the exception
of the balloon ascension, which was
an utter impossibility, owing to the
state of the weather.
Mr.. Taylor dealt with the growth
and development of educational ia

some startling facts and figures rela-

pecially west of the Missouri river.
Governor Burke spoke On the sub
ject of Conservation Of Our Natural
Resources" and opened his remarks
by stating that the wind (Which was
so much in evidence at the time) was
one of our greatest natural resources
here in North Dakota, and that if we
could only devise some way of con-
trolling it we could make it turn all
the wheels of industry in this world,
supply all the campaign orators, and
have some left besides. And we all
agreed that he didn't stretch it any
either. He gave one of the most prac-
teal and interesting talks it has ever
been our privilege to hear. Several
persons expressed themselves after
wards as finding it 'even more inter
esting than they thought it would
be-" Mr.. Burke used plain. simple
: language which was perfectly intel
, lible to nearly every one present, and
undoubtedly rather surprised some of
the farmers by his knowledge of and

The Twilight club minstrels held

better than they expected.
