Devils Lake will be one of the points
in North Dakota where the tourists
will stop.
President Louis W. Hill, of the
Great Northern, is planning a special
"hotel train' which will accompany
the tourists: it will be equipped with
tourists can be properly cared for
whenever stop is made; this will be
especially arranged for the ladies who
will accompany the tourists, so they
may ride on the train in inclement
weather or when fatigued from the
long drives. Cars will also be provided
for the convenience of those who wish
to ship their automobiles home after
making the run to Helena, Mont.
1t is expected that the trip will! cover
a. distance of 1900 miles and will take
at least seven days.

The local ticket agent Of the Great

Mr.. Hill, giving details of the trip and
asking information with regards to the
roads in this section Of the state and
what condition is likely to prevail dur
ing the month of July, and what would
be considered days run over North
Dakota roads in this vicinity under
ordinary conditions.
Mr.. Hill says "the exact route has
not yet been determined and any in.
formation you may get will prove Of
great assistance in making up the itin

siderable advantage to your community
in having your city included as great

"In addition to the merchants and
manufacturers who will participate in
the tour, there will be representatives
of the financial and banking houses OF
the Twin Cities who propose TO make
a special feature of looking into farm

Understand, that these people dc
not want your community to go to any

EVILS OF CELEBRATING
CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is the time children
think they ought to cat all the
candy they can. Many children
eat and eat until they are very
sick; this spells their good time.
Many children that are not as
strong as others have eaten until
the parents have bad to- sail tbs
doctor, and some of the IcbilpEen
have even died throaeh~.eatihg
There are many candies that are
impure and diseases are ca, caused

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is celebrated be-
cause of the birth of Christ.
The first celebration of the
birth of Christ known of was in
the year 1870 A. d. But there
had been a day appointed for
exchanging gifts ever since be-
fore Christ. But after the birth
of Christ they celebrated the
birth OF Christ and exchanged
gifts also on the twenty-hfth
of December.
Many of the people wanted to
have feasts on that day. 50
they would cook big dinners and
have a grand time on Christmas.
That is where the people got the
idea Of making Christmas cakes
and buildings Once in a large
building there was a large num-
ben. of people assembled to wor-
ship the birth of Christ. Some
of the wicked people finding this
out ordered all the doors closed
and then set fire to the building
and all the people that were IN
the building were burned to
death. u5u

Splitting.

Disease germs are scattered
about by splitting. Tobacco spit
ting is as bad as any. 1t is not
only an unclean and disgusting
habit, but one that is very un-
sanitary. Many cities have laws
against splitting in public places.
Everyone should at least have
enough sense to spit in the gut
ter and not on the side walk
where the germs are carried on
the feet Of the passers by and on
trailing skirts into houses, stores
and Offices.

Consumers, many persons insist are pay
Ing too much for cotton goods. Woolens,

Cotton and wool are the two particular
schedules OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
that have been under attack. The Demo
Gratis tried to amend them last summer.
President Taft, in his vetoes killing the
bills. declared that the Democrats had at
tempted their work without sufficient
facts. wait for the reports of the tartn
board" he said in writing and In words.
He has been reiterating that advice ever
since
The tariff board is now composed of
FIVE members-three supposed Republicans
and two Democrats. Two Of the Republi-
cans, on the surface Of things, are low
tariff men. One Republican and one
Democrat taught political economy in col
leges. theoretically they ought to be free
traders.
OF the I'VE members Of the board only
two can be said to be party men-James
Burton Reynolds, forty-one years old, a
graduate of Dartmouth. once the Wash
ington correspondent of a Boston news
paper. and from 1905 to 1909 an Assistant
Secretary Of the United States Treasury,
and William NJ. Howard. of Georgia,
ffty-four years old, a lawyer who served
seven terms in the House Of Represent
atives. Reynolds is a Republican out
and out and Howard IS a Democrat I'M
qualified. Each. however, is an excellent
type of his class.
A Muscular and Modern Scientist.
The chairman Of the board is Henry
Crosby Emery, thirty-nine years old, and
a trained economist. Bowdoin, Harvard,
and Columbia have given him degrees.
Moreover, he studied at the University of
Berlin, In Germany. He has taught po-
litical economy at Bowdoin and Yale, and
has written a book about speculation on
the stock and produce exchanges of the
United States His father, until recently,
was chief justice Of the Supreme Court
of Maine
Presumably, Dr. Emery is a Republican.
AS matter of fact, he is a scientist, not
a tall-browed. sallow-faced, and spec
tacled microscopic, but r muscular,
open-minded, and modern searcher after
the truth. He thinks like a seasoned
student, writes like newspaper man, and
throws of electrical energy on all oc-
casions. To him, a perversion of the
facts would be a personal and professional
sin.

straight to Yale for a chairman. The
choice was suggested by his judgment
Politics. it is obvious, was not in his
mind. The Office has a salary of $500 a
year-each of the other members receives

an expression of heavens favor by any
party worker.

time, but since 1852 a writer for and ever
