Better Stop Drinking.

Why? For the sake of your home.
Go into it and look about you. See
the sad face Of your wife, the spoiled
faces of your children; look at their
clothes, at the table spread for them
with such scanty fare, at the beds they
lie on, and the lives they must live,
the kind of men and women they must
be if they follow you; and then think
that you and the drink are responsible
for it all; you are responsible if your
wife should commit suicide, if your
boys should become criminals, and
your girls fall into lives Of shame;
and under these circumstances do you
not think you had better
STOP DRINKING?
Why should you not stop? What
has strong drink ever done for you
that you should love it? What has
the saloon v done for you that you
should contribute of your hard earn
ings for it? This it has done: robbed
you of your strength, your good name,
| your money, your good clothes, your
position, your home, and left you like
a stranded hulk on the shore of a des-
ert island, with no hope of manhood
here or heaven hereafter.

cordance with the wishes of the citi-
zens of Minot as expressed recently
by vote. The original site selected

number of reasons the board decided
that it would not be so favorable to

Corn for Seed.

The best seed corn is that grown on
ones own farm. In selecting 1t re-
member that next years corn will be
like the corn you select for seed.
Therefore select good ears that ma
ture early and that are borne on de-
sirable stalks. In curing the seed
corn remember that it will not grow
if it freezes before being dried. Shuck
ears when they come from the field
and place in racks, or tie up with
strings so that sars do not touch. A
good place for drying is in the attic
or in an upstairs room in the house,
provided the air can circulate freely.

Enemy of Home.

Always, the liquor traffic is the en-.
envy of home life. The keystone to
American civilization is the American
home. We would we could take you
to the frontier-to the cattle and min
ing towns Of this country, where home
life is comparatively unknown, and by
ocular demonstration impress this fact
upon your minds-show you how the
words ''mother' and ''home'' have the
power to awaken the latent manhood
in, and lead out to a grauder and bet
ter life, men seemingly lost to all in.
fuences for good. You, especially you
business men, know how great this in
fuence is on public life. The opposi-
ton you meet, the trickery and fraud
you see practiced, make you hard, un-
charitable, cynical, and, when gone
from home for months, bitter and sell
fish. You return to your home and, in
the presence of wife and children, hat
red, seltishness, bitterness, cynicism
vanish like the cold, clammy, poison
ous March fog before the morning sun.
Home life and love is the sun which
fructities all the nobler impulses of
mans nature. Few men go from home
with the kiss of wife upon their lips,
and the soft touch of baby fingers lin
gering in pleasant memories on their
neck, but feel more charity for their
fellow-men, mor love for humanity,
and a renewed desire to build them
selves up in all that pertains to true
manhood. Home is the moral and po-
litical c~onservator of the nation, the
antidote Of communism, socialism,
riot, vice and bloodshed. A man who
goes from home with the softening in
luences of womanhood's homage and
childhood's love lingering about him,
seldom goes to murder, rob, or incite
riot.

self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating
TO find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years I had been both

food seemed TO lay like lead in my
stomach, producing heaviness and
dullness and sometime positive pain.
OF course this rendered me more or

sion that over-eating, filling the stom-
ach with indigesuible food, was re-

NEW YORK, April 10.-No decision
between DR.. John H. Finley, president
of the City College of New York, and
Professor John Grier Hibben Of
Princeton for the presidency of
Princeton University has been reach
ed yet by the nominating committee.
It is learned, however, that every
name that had been suggested to the
committee was rejected except those
of Dr. Finley and Professor Hibben.
Whether or not the committee is hold
of with a view of entering upon new
quest could not be learned, but the
opinion was expressed that this was
extremely improbable. The Princeton
trustees will meet next Thursday,
but it is not now expected that the
nominating committee will have its
report ready at that time. DR.. Finley,
sc is generally believed, will finally be
the choice of tho trustees. Dr.. John
Huston Finley, who at the time he was
chosen head of the college Of the
City Of New York gained great repute
as the youngest president of any col
iege In the country, is not only an
educator and an author of works Of
social and political value. but also a
great walker. On one occasion DR..
Finley walked seventy miles without
resting DR.. Finley, who is a gradu-
ate of Knox College, of which institu-
ton he later became president, was
born in Grand Ridge. Ill. While still
attending high school he made up his
mind TO become an editor. In order
to prepare himself for journalism he
entered Knox College. While attend
ing TO his studies he secured a posi-

where he learned to set type between
classes at college. After leaving Knox
