Congressman Hanna Seeks Land En-.
dowment for New Scholl at Minot.

Washington, Jan. 23-The state nor
nal school at Minot, N. D., will po-
sses handsome federal endowment
if bill introduced today bly, Repre-
sentative Hanna of North Dakota re-
ceiyes the favorable action of con-
gress. Representative Hanna has ask
ed for the appropriation of 10000 ac-
res of public domain in North Dakota
for the benefit of the school.
While North Dakota at the time Of
its admission as state, was given
public land amounting to $4,000 acres
by congress for school purposes and
this has now been used, Representative
Hanna has discovered precedents for
federal appropriations of public lands
for state schools after statehood has
been conferred and is hopeful there
fore of the passage Of the bill. Only
the interest Of proceeds from the sale
of the lands will be used for the new
normal school, the principal remaining
as permanent endowment fund. The
funds cannot be legally held for less
than $40 an acre and may bring as
high as 500.
At an average price the 10000
acres asked of the government would
net about 100000.

WORK LIGHTER
MUCH WORK AT THE PosToPF1CE
WILL BE DONE AWAY WITH
BY ORDER.

Notice of regulation which. it is
believed, will do away with some uE-
necessary work in postofices has been
received at the local postoff.cc from
the department at Washington. It pro-
,iles that where copies of am publ
cation of the second class, mailed by
the publisher at the pound rate or free
in the county, is undelivered at the ad-
dress the publisher shall be notified to
that effect. If the publications, with
the same address that was found undc-
liverable, continue to arrive five weeks
after the publisher has been notified,
they will be returned to the publisher
at the rate of / cent for two ounces
There is all exception to this. however,
for il the publisher prints on the wrap
per guarantee that if the paper OF
magazine is not delivered, he will send
postage for it's return, the rate for its
return will be cent for four ounces.
It is said that considerable unneces-
sary work has been caused by some
publishers insisting on sending succeed
ing issues, for an indefinite length OF
time, marked with addresses that have
been found unbelievable, and after

effect

HANNA SECURES ALFALFA
SEED FOR NORTH DAKOTANS

Washington, Jan. 21.-Several years
ago the government sent John Hanson
into Northern Siberia to find some al
falfa seed that would grow in a cold,
dry, northern climate, something that
woul be especially adapted to North
Dakota and Montana. Mr.. Hanson
was successful in getting hold of lit
tie seed and the government has been
carefully propagating this seed ever
since.
A year ago Congressman Hanna, who
is member Of the agricultural com
mittee in the house, applied for some
of this seed to send up into North Da-
kota to try it out upon the farms there,
but failed because OF a shortage in the
supply. He took the matter up again
this winter on his return to Washing
ton, with Secretary of Agriculture Will
son. and with better results, succeeding
in getting nine small packages of the
so-called Hanson siberia,1alfalfa seed.
This seed is being sent into different To-
calities in the state of North Dakota
with the understanding that it is to be
planted and cared for under reeula-
tions gotten out by the government
bureau Of plant industry.

ing life less sordid, making this
old world a better and a finer
loafing place. Now and then a
poisoned arrow comes from some
one with a narrow, hollow or con-

who think that woman ceases to be

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS
THE PURITANs AND THEIR DO
INGS.

Thanksgiving always brings Il
mind the Puritans. There wer,
a great many good things abou
the puritan fathers. Still we are
pleased to know that we are a
father of the present date, and
not a pilgram father. We are
aito pleased that we were born
too late TO be puritan.
As we have said the puritans were
fair TO middling as peaple ranked
up then, but after reviewing the
history of their times we have con
cluded that the only thing that
saves them from doing stunts at
the everlasting fires, there are
everlasting fires, Is the fact
that they didn't know any bet
ter. They were blinded by their
religious zeal This is the only ex-
curse we can figure out for them.
And yet It Is hard TO see how a
lot OF people who had to hike
from the land OF their nativity to
escape religious persecution could
be so internally mean and narrow
and blgOted and cruel as those puri-
tans were One would naturally
think that. having demanded the
right to think as they
pleased religiously that they would
have been willing to accord the
same privilege to other people. But
they didn't On the contrary they
we're about the meanest, most tyran
meal and unreasonable outfit that
we know anything about
Along in l64S a man by the name
OF Gattschall declared that in his
opinion there was no such thing
as an eternal hell, and that some
time and somehow everybody would
be saved. The purtans wouldn't
stand for any such merci al fool
ishness as that-not for min
ute They proposed to demonstrate
10 Joseph Gattschall that there
was hell all right and that they
would give him taste of II in
advance Therefore they yanked
Joseph up and hauling out his
tongue. burned hole through II
With a hot iron.
Now we have no doubt that
here are people In this country
Who trace their ancestry back with

Who burned a hole in the tongue

Slept in It's high embrasure.

Rolled slowly from the river.
