North Dakotans Appear Before Senate
Committee.

Committee.
The North Dakota delegation of
farmers that went to Washington to
protest against the Canadian reciproc-
ity agreement appeared before the
senate committee on Anance
Former Lieutenant Governor r. s.
Lewis, chairman Of the delegation,
presented the speakers. In his intro
ductory remarks Mr.. Lewis told Of the
anti-reciprocity convention held in
North Dakota on March 81.
1T was a nonpartisan gathering"
he said. 1--WE want to keep politics
out OF this proposition If we can. How
this agreement was initiated by Presi-

necessity of flirting with the Demo

w. G.. Larimore Of Larimore, the
next speaker, injected politics into the
discussion. He said the farmers, not
in spirit of revenge, but as means
of protecting themselves, would re.
taliate at the polls in the next cleo
ton.
r. T. Kingman of Petersboro dis
eussed wheat prices here and in Can

grain prices made in Liverpool in

far as grain is concerned it's free ad-
mission from Canada would not lower
the cost of living. THE price of bread
Is the same now as it was in the days
when we sold wheat in North Dakota

Mr.. Kingman, who was introduced
as small farmer" amazed the com.

IDEAL HOME = BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP.

IDEAL HOME BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP.
The domestic Utopia according Mrs. Ellen H.
Richards of the Boston Institute Of Technology,
president CT the American Home Economies associa
ton, is to be obtained in the following manner:
By considering the home business partnership.
By considering the children assets
Ry considering domestic as liabilities.
BY establishing complete system of bookkeeping.
BY ranking the wife as vice president and gen
eral manager.
But says Mrs. Richards, that sort of Utopia
can't come until learn something of the
value of dollar When woman gets $50 to buy
new dress, she doesn't think of the value
of the $50. She thinks of the dress. She tran
states money into terms CT silk and crepe de chine
Now when taught the value of money
and how to invest it most wisely, and iHhen women
treated wage earners doing their share to-
ward the family support in managing the home,
family jars will cease to be, will nearly cease.

Rev. Zimmerman of Douglas is Methodist he
recently held two weeks of revival meetings at
Plaza and well liked that the Congregation
alists there decided they'd like him for their pastor
the Congregational church over to the Mehodists
and the other to transform the pastor from
Methodist into a Congregationalist. The good
people of Plaza favor the latter. 1t probably makes
little difference, for in any event, the pastor
preach the word of God and be living example at
the same time Those are the essential features OF
any religion.
