LIVE UNDER THE SAME ROOF
Then, and Not Until Then, VIII Ysu
Become Really Acquainted
With Your Friends.

Two households may stand side by
side on the same street, two families
live within hailing distance Of one
another for years In the same COM
munity, and yet have opposite tastes.
sentiments and convictions. The chill
dren of each growing up together may
marry and, until they reach the period
Of new adjustment, never suspect how
antagonistic has been their early
training. This is one reason why the
first year of marriage is so beset with
briars and thorns. Everybody knows
that until people actually dwell under
the same roof they do not mutually
become acquainted. A single week
spent with a friend at house party
does more TO promote intimacy or in
difference than years Of superficial
social intercourse.
The touch-and-go meetings Incl
dental to teas and receptions are the
merest suggestions Of personality.
but when one sits day after day be-
side the fire or at the table with a
neighbor, each ceasing to be on
guard, real understanding begins.
Even correspondence, which to a de-
gree is in the nature of revelation,
does not make people SO we'll &C
quainted and is by no means so true
a test OF disposition and tempera-
ment as the test of living together.
During courtship and betrothal an en-
gagged pair are on probation. Without
effort each displays qualities of charm
that cannot fail TO be att lctive. The
most ordinary speech has a flavor OF
compliment. The future husband and
wife are walking through a land of
dreams. Shall the dreams come true?
They surely will If on both sides there
are fixed principles of honor, justice
and fidelity.-Mrs. Sangster in WON
ans Home Companion.

BANQUET EX1 1RAORDINARY
-. - : yEXT=TUESDAY EVENING

The "get-together'' spirit adopted as
a slogan of the Commercial club of
Devils Lake will be thoroughly impress
sed upon the members OF this organiza-
ton as result of the banquet extra
ordinary which is scheduled to take
place next Tuesday evening. The hour
and place to be announced later.
There will be no need of the men,
bers going home to supper, in fact the
idea Of having the bountiful repast
close to supper hour was conceived in
the main, so that all might attend. W.
H. Reid, A. H. Reade and Steve Jones,
the feed men of Devils Lake have put
their heads together in the concoct-
ing of some new dishes which promise
to be real teasers, each member of the
banquet committee making an endeav.
or to outdo the other in the matter of
putting on spread that will be worth
the four quarters that will be asked
for each plate.

There is porgram of music and cd
dresses planned, and from all indica-
dons, it will be eat and make merry.
According to President Horton of
the Commercial club, this is not all,

be sprung that will make 1t worth while
for all to be present. Everybody Is
urged to get their feet under the table
for the big square"

Brocket.
Ever since the Citizens Bank was
started the two institutions have been
at friendly warfare with each 9th
er; each trying to pull all the busf-
ness possible for the town, and doing
1t exceedingly well. The village OF
Brocket owes the two banks a card
of thanks for the energy and enter.
prise they have displayed during the
several years of their existence.
The conditions are different now
from what they have been In the
past. The light crop last season and
the 500 line with it's new towns with
In Brocket's territory made, 1t ad-
visable olimit the expense Of bank
ing business to a minimum. The one
bank cany take scare OF the business
as we'll as the two could, seeing that
the business is much lighter than u
has been in the past years, and 1t can
do it with much less expense.
The depositors, as well as the ac-
counts, of which the Citizens bank had
its full share, viii be turned over to
the State bank and no one win lose
a single cent by the deal. The State,
bank is a strong institution, backed
with all necessary cash, and not only
that, but honest In all It's dealings.
There Is no doubt but what the fnan-
cial end of this towns business VIII
be well taken care of.
} It is a pleasure to the host OF friends
of P. e. Johnson to know that his e3.
: perience and ability is recognized by
the management of the State bank III
retaining his services.-Brocket News
