HAVE YOU VOTED?
lTHE POLLS CLOSE FOR ELECTION
OF MEMBERS OF BOARD OF q.
REcToRs OF CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE TOMORROW AT 4 ?.
MALL MEMBERS ARE URGED
TO VOTE, IN,

The election Of membes of the
Boad of Dierotors of the new Cham
Iber Of Commerce is going merrily on
land much anticipation is evidenced as
to who will be the lucky twenty:seyen
when the counting is done. Three
sets of directors, nine for one year
nine for two years and nine for three
years, are to be elected and the nomi'
mating committee has selected a list
of fifty-four members Of the Chamber
OF Commerce to be voted for, with
twenty-seyen to be elected. The com
mittee aimed to select as far as pos
sible representative men from all
walks of life representing the various
.industriespof the city, and especially
those who would be willing to work
and left blanks to be filled in by any
who do not find candidates that meet
their approval. 1t is safe to say that
no matteriwho Of the fifty-four people
nominated are elected ahgood active
board ofltdiTec toFSjwiII be the result
Of the choice Of the voters. 1t is in
deed difficult to make choice between
the men nominated as they are all
good people and would serve with
credit on the Board.
All members who have not yet fill
ed out their ballots and mailed them
in are requested to do so as the time
is limited andtit Is the wish Of all con
cerned that as large q vote as possible
be poIled so that all may feel that
they have had a fair chance to ex'
press their preference for the men
whom they want to serve them on the
board. Let everybody vote and by all
means cit everybody be satisfied with
the result even though some friend Of
yours may fail to be among the elect
ed. The defeated ones will have the
consolation OF knowing that they will
go down with a live buAch who will
prove to be good losers

OLD MOUND
HISTORIC SOCIETIES APPEAL TO
THE STATE TO PRESERVE AND
= BEAUTIFY 1T.

S@FNS = ~ rtssN - H
After having withstood the fury oil
tie storms for centuries and centu
ries, the old historic Indian mound
at Moundsyllle is fast washing away
and unless the State, which recently
purchased 1t, comes to the rescue the
mound will dwihdle IN size until II
will no longer be the largest Indian
mound in the world, Last summer
the brush and many Of the trees
were removed from the topSof the
mound with the intention OF beauti'
flying 1t, but this was never done, and
the heavy storms have now washed
the mound to much less size.
Letters from a number OF historical
societies of this State have been
written to the State Board OF Control
urging this body to see that the
mound is cared for. Thousands Of
dollars we're spent by the State in
purchasing the; mound and the West
virginlans who are interested in his
torical monuments do not desire to
see 1t washed away. The mound Is
under the charge OF the warden Of the
penitentiary, but seemingly this per
son has never been authorized by the
State 10 beautify the old relic, II he
has, then something should be done
to see that the work is started in
identifying the monument that now
stands to a race that has long been
extinct, and from which Moundsyille
derived its name.

SOME FOXY TEACHER THIS.

From the Portlandy Michigan, I'd
server: "Faye Allen has discovered a
novel method to interest the young
sters in his room in arithmetic. Some
Of the boys were slow to grasp the
work in percentage and the spring
days Of last week were not especially
conducive to study and hard work. So
a happy thought struck the teacher
and one morning when he gave out
the lesson the kids discovered that
they were working out the percentages
Of the clubs in the American league.
Now baseball and arithmetic are not
supposed to be closely related, but the
teachers scheme had the desired re-
suit and the boys of the, fifth grade
are learning percentage at an astonish-
Ing rate"

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY COMMON GARDEN SAGE,
SIMPLE REMEDY FOR DAM
pRuFF, FALLING, FAD
60, GRAY HAIR.

The old idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming I'm
vogue. Our grandmothers used TO
have dark, glossy hair at the age OF
Iseventy-hve, while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Cur
grandmothers used to make sage
tea" and apply 1t to their hair. The
tea made their. hair soft and glossy,
and gradually restored the natural
color.
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble of making it,
especially as IT had to be made every
two or three days, on account OF sour
Ing quickly. This objection has been
overcome, and by asking almost any
first class druggist for Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy the public
can get superior preparation OF
sage, with the adnixture of sulphur,
another valuable remedy for hair and
scalp troubles Daily use Of this
preparation will not only quickly re-
store the color of the hair. but will
also stop the hair from falling out
and make 1t grow.
This preparation Is offered TO the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. Special agents, .Fout g. Porter

A Valuable Improvement
For the State University

One of the recent improvements at
the University OF North Dakota that is
being watched with more than usual
interest is the fine, new commons
building. 1t is the scene Of busy ac-
tivity these days and under the hands
OF the large force OF skilled workmen
in the employ Of Contractor Dinnie II
is rapidly taking on the very attrac-
is rapidly taking on the very attrac-
when complete. 1t is the most recent
addition to the university equipment
in the way of buildings and, In some
particulars, it will be the best and
most complete structure yet erected on
the university campus. While the pri-
mary function of big educational in
stitution is to nourish and develop the
mind, the physical side must be well
looked after in the meantime, and 1t is
along this line that this new building
with its ample room and modern
equipment will prove such a distinct
addition to the scheme of affairs at
our big state institution.
This building was partially complet-
ed two years ago, but the interior
finishing had to be left undone on ac-
count Of lack of funds The last legis-
lature, however. made a good appro-
priation for this purpose and since
early in the summer the work has
been pushed actively forward and will
be fully completed by the middle of
next month and in ample time so that
the department can get fully settled
and ready for business before the
opening of school in the fall. Miss
Daisy B. Treen. who has charge OF
this very important phase of uniVer-
sity life, will then have under her the
largest and most complete equipment
devoted wholly to this purpose that Is
to be found at any Of the state insti-
tutions and will provide daily for the
physical sustenance of the largest
number of people gathered under one
roof for this purpose anywhere in the
state.
The big dining room. which is To-
Gated on the second floor, will natural
ly be the most interesting place in the
building. Its dimensions are 40x160
and 1t will seat nearly 400 people. In
harmony with all other rooms in the
building. It is finished in restful
shades of brown. with panelled cell
| ing and the roof supported by nine
| heavy trusses in fInled oak. The floor
is of Fama stonewood in terraza ef-
fects and the wainscotting is brown
burlap. The windows are OF French
design with the usual small panes and
are arranged to swing in. The room IL
to be lighted by several large chande-
liers and an abundance Of bracket
lamps on the walls.
Deposits the center OF the room or
each side Is balcony overlooking the
entire room and suggesting occasions
when the university community may
have the pleasure of dining to the ac-
compartment OF sweet orchestra music

SATURDAY, JULY "a, 1911.
HUMANE TO HORSES.


This is the time of the year when
the humane man exercises great
care Of his horses. The hot weather.
makes this imperative. A little In
telligent care of the animals not only
gets better returns-but also assures
more comfort and longer usefulness
for the horses.
Most owners and teamsters in Fargo
exercise reasonable care in treating
their horses--but there are occa-
sional people who abuse their animals
beyond limit.
One method Of proper care for ami
mails IL sometimes overlooked--even
by people who are otherwise kind to
their beasts OF burden--that is the
fly nets. From now till cool weather
the flies will be especially pestiferous
and every owner of horses should pro-
tect the animals from the pests. The
lack Of nets causes the horses to wor-
~ and fidget. There is loss of flesh
and a reduced amount OF work. Fail
ure 20 provide nets frequently causes
horses to get so excited runaways
and accidents occur that would never
happen If the animals were properly
protected.

sLUsH FUNDS.


The United States senate. by it's
action in passing a drastic campaign
publicity bill. shows itself to be in no
mood to tolerate the use Of slush
funds-and jackpots in federal cleo
tions.
The nation at large has possessed
this feeling for years, and is re-
joiced TO see It reflected in the
senate, where the Loriner and
Stephenson cases-not to mention
others in the past-have reached the
proportions OF a national scandal.
The bin as passed by the senate
IL the house bill amended in a num-
Der of important particulars-each
making its scope more sweeping and
its application stricter. 1t is made to
apply to primary as well as to general
elections. There must be publicity be-
fore election for promises Of political
Jobs, as well as for campaign funds.
Senatorial candidates must spend no
more than sl0,0o0--and congressional
candidates no more than $1,000. In no
event must the sum spent be greater
than an amount equal to 10 cents for
each voter capable of participating in
the election.
Each one OF these is splendid pro-
vision. They tend to bring office
holding back to the people and away
from those who are wealthy enough to
buy elections--if not directly, then in
directly.
The only objection to the senate bill
is that 1t may fail of passage by being
too drastic-not because it is in reality
too much so, but because it is some
thing new-and because all lasting re-
forms must proceed slowly.
