lsDUTY

1t is the duty Of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for
the coming Of her little one; to avoid
as far as possible the suffering OF
such occasions, and endeavor to
pass through the crisis with her
health and strength unlmpalred.
This she may do through the use
of Mothers Friend, o remedy that
has been so long in use, and accom-
plished so much good, that it is IN
no sense an experiment, but a prep
aration which always produces the
best results. 1t is for external APP
plication and so penetrating IN its
nature as to thoroughly lubrlcate
every muscle, nerve and tendon
involved during the period before
baby comes. 1t aids nature by
expanding the skin and tissues, re-
lieves tenderness and soreness, and
perfectly prepares the system for
natural and safe motherhood.
Mothers Friend has been used and
endorsed by thousands Of mothers,
and its use will prove a comfort
and q benefit to any woman in
need of such remedy. Mothers

OFFICIAL PAPER FOR
STARK COUNTY.
AN INTERESTING WEEK

Next week will be an important one
for the farmers of Western North Dakota
and for that matter, for those of the
entire state. 1t will be the second an
nual meeting of the North Dakota Dry
Farming Congress and id-Winter Fair
at Dickinson, held on Thursday and Fri
day, December 7th and 9Th.
During these days of the Congress al
Dickinson several of the most noted
speakers of the Northwest will address

turalist. c. L.. Zimmerman. president
of the N. D. Dry Farming. Congress and
Secretary Waldron will also have i'm
portant parts on the program. and in all
probability there will be several other
important speakers whose names can-

Every minute of the time of the two
days will be taken and will be made
very profitable and interesting for
those who attend, ladies as we'll as
gentlemen.
Twice as much money will be given
this year for cash premium awards as

that the grain, vegetable and dairy dis
plays will be exceptionally good.

very large and has seating capacity for
fully 1, 900 people in the assembly
room. Central heat is used and it is
certain that all will be very comfortable
regardless of weather conditions.

day evening will be a musical program
of a half hour preceding the lecture by
Pres. McVey. This will include some
of the best talent of the city and. like

Golfers Weekly: The gains of so
cialism were almost the most notable
features of this months election
almost" because the general gain in
non-partisan intelligence was the
really dominating feature. The VIC
tory of Blankenburg in Philadelphia
could not have happened a few years
ago. The overthrow of Cox in Cincin.
natl, supported as he was by President
Taft. is a most vivid sign of the times.
Cleveland and Toledo represented the
general reform ideas of today. The
democrats were fortunate enough to have
the New York assembly taken away from
them and thus get this year, instead of
next, the punishment which Dix and
Murphy have been earning. The gains
of the socialists we're in large part re
lated to this general desire to rebuke
the evils of machine government. The
socialists are seen as a progressive
party, working for the welfare of the
taxpayer, in. contrast to the old fash
toned machines which prey upon the
taxpayer. Much attention has been
aroused by the fact that Job Hartman
one of the attorneys for the McNama-
ras. polled the greatest number of votes
at the primary election on November /
for the mayoralty of Los Angeles. Five
former ministers of the gospel made
platform campaigns for Hartman.
When President Taft visited Los Ange-
les, along the entire line of march there
was cheering but twice. once by a band
of school children under ten years of
age and again by a crowd of law stu
dents who had rehearsed their cheering
in advance. To what extent dissatis-
faction shall mean socialism depends
largely on the intelligence of the pro-
gressive leaders of the two large par
ties. with Taft and a Bourbon democrat
running in 1912, the socialist vote will
be immense. With candidates of the
nature of La Toilette and Wilson it
would be much less. The writer of this
editorial is certainly not a socialist,
and yet at the recent election. in vot-
ing for judges, he chose one republican.
two democrats and two socialists.
