Delinquent subscribers to weekly
papers have always been more or less
held up to public ridicule and the fol-
lowing from an exchange shows that
the editor still pays his respects to Mr..
Delinquent: 1t seems that the editor
dropped in to seea neighbor, seriously
ill, and who was also considerably in
arrears for his paper.
How do you feel?" asked the PEN
Gil pusher.
"All looks bright before me-" gasp
ed the dying delinquent.

A Colorado professor took finger
prints from the fingers Of his daughter
when she was born, 16 years ago, and
has taken them every year since. A
comparison OF these prints by experts
shows that there has been absolutely
no variation or change in the markings
of the fingers since birth. And yet all
the Investigations have failed to show
any two persons in the world yet whose
finger markings were precisely alike.

ASSOCIATION TO ADOPT UNI
FORM CLASSIFICATION.

Today the executive committee of
the Livestock Breeders association of
North Dakota is meeting with COM

hoped to arrange the classifications so
that they will be uniform through
out the state and that the same herd
OF cattle will be given the same CLASH
fication at one fair as it does in the
other.
However, the committees are not
making any plans regarding the
amount of the prizes for the different
classes. This will be left wholly with
in the jurisdiction OF the manage
ment of the fair.
The committee dined together at
the Gardner hotel at noon and con-
tinued their work this afternoon. the
task before them being a rather large
one.
The members of the state execu-
tive committee of the Livestock a.
Breeders association who are present
at the meeting are: Donald Camp
bell of Hannaford who represents the
horse interests, Frank Sanford of VAL
ley City representing the beef cattle
interests, #. A. Moore of Fargo repre-
senting the swine interests and w. b.
Martin Of the agricultural college who
is the secretary. G. c. Batcheler of
Fingal who represents the dairy cat
tie interests on the committee is not
present at the meeting.

the publishing of the King James YER
sion of the Holy Bible in the United

THANKS But WE
DON'T NEED HELP"
THIS Is HOW DULUTH PAPER
HEADS STORY TELLING OF CON-
pITloN OF NORTH DAKOTA
SEED GRAIN SITUATION, AS
TOLD IN FORUM RECENTLY.

Under the heading, Thanks. but we
don't need help" say Dakotans, The
Duluth Herald carries the following
story of the North Dakota seed grain
situation, as secured by the First Ma
tfonal bank of Fargo, and an account
OF which was given in The Forum
Thursday evening:
Under the impression that con-
siderable number of the farmers in
North Dakota would experience diff
ficulty in procuring seed this spring,
and fearing that a large area of the
state might go unseeded, the banking
jobbing and grain interests of Duluth
investigated the situation through
banks covering almost the entire state
1t is evident from the replies re-
ceived that North Dakota is not in
need of outside assistance in the pro-
curement of seed. While many banks
are experiencing a shortage of cash.
still they will have no difficulty in fur
nishing to those farmers worthy of
credit all the financial assistance re-
CURED in their respective localities
Their credit is sufficiently good and
their financial connections sufficiently
strong to enable them to extend bank
ing facilities to those in need OF seed
or money.
Bankers are almost unanimous in
saying that farmers are generally sup
piled with wheat for seeding purposes.
There appears to be sufficient barley.
oats, corn and rye, but in many COM
munities there is a shortage of flax
seed. When farmers are not in po-
sition to pay cash for their seed they
are experiencing no difficulty in OBJ
tanning credit or seed from nearby
banks. There is a shortage of feed
and considerable supply will be En-
ported, but there will be no difficulty
in financing its transportation and dis
tribution.
Bankers and commercial interests in
North Dakota express their apprecia-
ton of the friendly attitude of the
banking, jobbing. and grain interests
of this city, but profess their ability
to handle the situation without other
aid than that which naturally reaches
them through the regular methods of
banking. Many farmers lack cash, but
their real estate. as a rule, is either
unencumbered or not heavily involved.
Such men will have no trouble in Sc
curing sufficient funds to carry them
until the period of harvest. The ma
tural optimism of the citizens of North
Dakota is enhanced by the favorable
conditions existing as the seeding
reriod approaches. Throughout the en-
tire state there has been general pre-
cipitation within the last fifty-six
hours and the soil is in good condition
for seeding.
A banker Of Fargo, abiding to the
adage that it is an i'll wind that blows
nobody any good, is of the opinion
that bank deposits in North Dakota
will show a healthy increase in the
next few years. He believes that the
partial failure of crops last year will
cause farmers to become more con-
sentative and will deter them from in-
vestfng in land i'm Texas, Old MEXICO
and the Florida Everglades. He thinks
they VIII conserve their capital and
guard their resources and that they
will pay greater attention to the pro- |

OF Identification
One Of the dead mans feet was cut
off and the other crushed, while the

to his rooming house from Moorhead
and dragged him about 100 feet The
man was about so years old and has
been employed or and on in Fargo for
the last fifteen years.
It Is thought that the dead man has

A TALK ON NAPOLEON
Carol Barnes Delivered the Grafton at
the High School This Morning
and Did IL Well.

AS the boys OF the senior class at the
high school compose minority of the
class, it is seldom that an grafton is
not the accomplishment of a young
lady. Carol Barnes evidently took this
matter into consideration and decided
TO uphold the stronger sex in quality.
Mr.. Barnes gave an excellent paper
on Napoleon Bonaparte. He gave the
birthplace and told Of the school days
of this near" master Of the world.
He said in regard to his entering
school life that he had his life work
already mapped out, as has been the
case with all really great men. After
an interesting account of his school
days, Mr.. Barnes told the well known
story of Bonaparte's career. The ora
ton was exceedingly well composed
and the delivery was just as good.

Woman Question and Suf-
 frage Question

The woman suffrage question is too
 much discussed as though it was the whole woman question Suffragists try
 to make it seem so, practising to make all womens rights, liberties and priv ileges appear to depend on her vote.
 And, by the way, why doesn't she vote, anyhow?
 Is 1t really because for a hundred million years-or whatever the period is-she has been bullyragged by Man who somehow got the start of her: ! Or is 1t because she was born withou, a union card, or whatever it is that has
 made voters of men? This perlod-e hundred million years-is long time Tor any competent squad of folks to continue to be oppressed. If that is charged 1t will be said that Woman is probably Irish--so handsome. so clever so charming. so valiant and yet such an age long victim of inevitable | tyranny.
 Can 1t be that the reason women do not vote is that Man has always been a Monster?
 Or may 1t be that the vote is kept | from her for fear she will learn how little there is In it and be discouraged: Maybe sol maybe so! Who can tell? l But anyhow, the woman question and the woman suffrage question are not
 the same thing and not very closely l connected. -E. S. M. In Life"

Girlish Charms

Good manners are not hard to culti. yate, but 1t is difficult for the young girl to realize their importance. Yet if she will only stop to think she will re- member some older woman who, in her eyes. holds everything of grace and charm.
 They why does she not try to initiate her? Why does she not study this woman's personality and find out her charm?
 The young girl should be considerate of all things. In being that she will find nearly everything else will be com. paratively easy.
 She will not talk in loud, breezy tones, because she will know that in doing so she is disturbing others.
 She will not hurry through the streets in a bold and pushing manner, nor stand on the pavements with a group of giggling girls, because she knows she Is making of herself nuisance.
 Nor will she enter shops and engage in high pitched conversation plentiful. ly sprinkled with slang and inconi- moding other customers by blocking the counters.
 Once girl accepts consideration a. foundation she will soon find herself possessed of a charming personality
