Press Comment

Powers Lake Echo: We notice that
the o bitter opponents to Mr.. Han
ma are not attacking his record as a
public servant-at least not so as you
can notice 1t. They are making a gum
shoe campaign. trading everything IN
sight for votes against Hanna, hoping
to defeat him and elect HelStrom n
continue a divided political govern
ment in North Dakota, with the expec-
tation of gaining personal BENEFITS
therefrom. What do the people of
North Dakota owe these political mall
contents that they should sacrifice a
tried servant and take UP the burden
of maintaining an organized political
oligarchy presided over by turn-costs?
jamestown Alert: one way to in
crease h interest in county fairs has
proved a success in several states and
is the offering of prizes for the best
township exhibits of grain, Vegeta-
bles, root crops, grasses, forage plants,
fruits, etc. Such an exhibit gives OPP
portunity for the display of all the
products produced in a township. It
creates a great deal of friendly rival
ry between the families in the opposing
townships. This tends to bind the
people of each township together and
stimulates them to do their best. 1t
inspires loyalty to their home farms.
They become interested in finding out
now many varieties of products can be
produced In the township, and become
enthusiastic. in raising the standard OF
quality in their products.
Such contests are certainly educa-
tional. Al the products from one
township displayed in one exhibit make
a splendid showing for a county fails,
n bring out the possibilities of the
county better than any other kind Of
an exhibit. It adds an enthusiasm
and interest to the fair which is of the
right sort. 1t helps to make the fair
an educational center rather thar a
place of amusement.

For several months the major made
no objections. Then he thought he
saw an interest on the part OF the
daughter. and his blue blood came to
the surface.
He didn't take club to Mr.. Reed.
He didn't shout. Like a gentleman
who could trace his ancestry back
500 years, he called at the office of
the rising young lawyer and in quiet

AS if it hadn't been rubbed into

item. Aileen Temple was the daugh-

had to encounter great opposition to
get on the stage.
It was 40 minutes after getting
home before the major could talk.
Then he talked for twice 40 minutes
without giving wife or daughter a
resting spell.
He had been temporarily driven
back-not defeated. He would go up
town on the morrow and consult a
lawyer. Aileen Temple of the chorus
should become Hannah Jones or Sa-

The young Mr.. Reed had rather
a strange caller at his office one
day. He knew the city and its deniz-
ems very well. AS a college student,
before receiving his diploma and set
thing down to the serious business of
life he had been gay and frivolous.
II Maj. Temple knew this he had
not brought it forward in the argu-
ment. Perhaps his ancestors for 500
years back had done the same thing.
The caller at the lawyers office was
a theatrical press agent. Lawyer and
caller called each other by their first
names. They talked and grinned
and chuckled. They agreed it would
do, and it was the lawyer who hand
ed a sum of money to the other.
Three days passed. Then Maj.
Temple returned from a run down
town, and he looked so queer that his
wife and daughter fastened toward
him with inquiries of alram. He
waved them away. Then he waved q
newspaper. Then he pointed with his
finger at an item and hoarsely COM
