He stood up in the middle Of the SER

ODLAND'S STRONG TALK
Norwegian Instructor Gave interest
ing Address Last Night at
Pontoppidan Church.

All those attending the Pontoppidan
church last night heard an interest
ing address by DIR. Odland OF Chris
tiania, Norway, formerly Of the facuI-
ty Of the University OF Norway, but
who now heads the new independent
seminary OF theology in that country.
DR.. Odland is a most impressive
and has a pleasing appearance, sug-
costing great force and energy. He is
a man who has refused to yield to the
new order OF things I'm the matter OF
theology In Norway and stands firmly
rooted in his belief In the old custom
and belief that has always been MAIN
tanned in that country. For that
reason. though one of the greatest in
tellectual pillars of his country, he
severed his connection with the Uni
versity Of Norway OF which he was
one the leading faculty members and
headed the new independent theologi-
cal seminary which maintains the old
standard.
His talk last night was one of the
most interesting that has been heard
In Fargo in a long while and those
who attended felt wen repaid for GO
Ing, for hearing DIR. Odland is well
worth while.

status Of Verbal orders.

1t is sometimes said, and by some
people so understood. that a verbal
order or contract lis not binding. Any
agreement Is binding If there Is suffi-
cient and competent witnesses to the
agreement. In some states a verbal
order for goods, for example, amount
Ing to less than $50 If accepted is a
good and binding contract within the
meaning of the statute and need not
be in writing. This is held to be good
law In some states and 1t is the law
in some states.
IL a salesman takes such a verbal
order and his company accepts it. and
ships the goods to the person from
whom the order was claimed to have
been taken. and at the same time
sends an invoice direct to the custo-
mer, and thereafter the shipper sends
statements for three or four months
and the customer pays no attention
to the statements until the last one.
when he writes back that he never
ordered the goods, and refuses to pay
for them, stating that he holds them
for the shipper, an action should be
brought against him on an account
stated, Cor 1t was his duty IL the goods
were not ordered, to notify the shipper
of that fact reasonably soon after he
had received them.
This il good law, and It Is founded
on the best English Jurisprudence. a
man. even IL he has not signed con-
tract has some moral responsibility
which will be construed as law, which
he cannot violate with impunity He
cannot by his own negligence or spite
or malice. cause loss or damage to an
other person; IL he does he thereby

THE WORLD HATES Al
GUTTER

So long as you won't acknowl-
edge 1t. YOU haven't failed. Sup
pose one thing has gone wrong
make something else go right. This
is such a busy world that we
haven't time to recall unimportant
things, and IL you don't keep re-
winding us we'll forget all about
the incident.
But IL you walk around with the
badge Of despair In your face and
reference to the past In your talk,
how can we help remembering?
Your greatest trouble is your ego
tism. You overestimate your status
in the scheme of life You imagine
that your misfortunes are just as
fresh in every one else's thoughts,
but IL you want the truth, we don't
know that you are liVAng except
when you force us to realize you
are alive.
The fact that all creation has
made up it's mind that you are
done for does not settle your fate
one jot. You are the only man
who can decide. The world does
not condemn you when you fail,
trying, so long as you don't fail
crying. 1t does hate gutter.
Al prize fight is not pretty
thing. but 1t is a mans lesson. No
matter how many knockdowns a
pugilist gets he has not lost SO
long as he Is not knocked out. If
you want to see how your fellows
Judge you watch them hiss the
man who throws UP the sponge
while he has chance.
We all fail. even those Of us
whose careers have seemed to be
unbroken successes, but we kept
the secret tightly locked in our
own bosoms and managed to laugh
to the world until we had 1t laugh
Ing with us instead Of at us.

The VALUE OF The
HOG ON The FARM
NO ANIMAL THAT WILL MAKE
MORE MONEY THAN THE HOG
GREAT DEAL DEPENDS ON IT'S
CARE AND MANAGEMENT SAYS
IOWA PROFESSOR.

There is no animal that can make
more money on the farm than the hog.
It has well been called the mortgage
litter and that 10 just the kind OF a
litter that many a North Dakota farm
er needs on his farm.
There l. good deal In the care and
management OF hogs. Most OF the
gains should be made on pasture as
grain is the most expensive feed for
making growth. The best presentation
of hog raising is the book. Swine by
VIM. Dietrich, professor Of swine
husbandry in the Illinois agricultural
college and experiment station. He
has worked out the subject into many
Of it's details. Has worked out new
feeding standard which makes 1t pos
sible to make gains ct less cost for
feed He lays great stress on feeding
a variety Of feeds. He has found that
variety of feeds aid digestion. He
emphasizes the value OF exercise, hav-
ing found that 1t Is very necessary
aid to good vigorous digestion.
In the summer the hog viii take the
necessary exercise liz on pasture. In
the winter he provided long lane.
The hogs are fed at one end Of 1t
and their sleeping quarters are at the
other end. This makes 1t necessary
for Mr.. Hog to make at least three
trips day, BY feeding oftener more
trips would result.
Mr.. Dietrich has also worked out
q new hog house. BY his arrangement
be gets sunlight into All parts OF 1T.
He also uses the small movable hog
houses.
In his book Swine he goes into all
these details Of breeding, feeding, care
and housing. IT ii well Illustrated.
Let the hog work for you. give him
the right conditions and he will prove
one OF the most valuable departments
on the farm. IN case you want an
