mites, resources and natural advan-
tages of the Missouri Slope of North
Dakota will be spread abroad so Ell
fectively through exhibits of our prod.
ucts and other means that all the
world shall know that there is a Mis-
souri, slope of North Dakota and that
it is indeed a good place in which
to live, to be happy and to prosper.
j. B. SlOssOn, secretary of the Mis-
souri, Slope Development league was
introduced and explained in detail the
purposes of the organization, the re-
lation of the Slope or parent league
to the county leagues, the means OF
distribution of the results of the
work as carried on by the parent
league. He urged the people of Kid
der county to join in this great move
ment-to complete the chain" the
first link of which was formed in Nc
Lean county on April /" last when
the Mclean County Development
league was formed, and he urged his
hearers to form an organization Of
ficered by good, reliable, trustworthy
workers in whom the board of COM
m%issioners and the people of the en-
tire county would have confidence and
who should see that these things OF
a public nature are not simply talk
ed of but done. He urged them to
get action at once on the securing
OF the best exhibit material they
could for Us eat the state exposition
in Bismarck in October and also for
selection by the parent organization
in making up the Slope exhibit which
will be taken to Minneapolis and Chi
cago land shows soon after.
BY q unanimous vote it was decid-
ed to at once form a Kidder County
Development league, and the follow
lowing officers were elected:
President-Col. W. P. futile OF
Dawson.
Vice president at large, Chas. Rob.
e1ts of Dawson.
Secretary, c. w. Cross Of Dawson.
Treasurer, John F. Robinson OF
Steele.
Directors to the parent organiza,
ton OF Slope league, D. D. Mckee
of Tappen and B. G. Loughren OF
Steele.
After drafting and adopting suit
able bylaws, preparing a list of for.
ty district vice presidents, one to
each township in the county, each to
be in charge of the leagues work in
his particular township, deciding up
on the space at the Bismarck Expo
sition and arranging for the imme-
date gathering of grain samples,
grasses and forage crops, the meeting
adjourned.
1t was a successful organization in
every way; the officers are men in
whom the people Of the county have
confidence and they are "doers" not
"dreamers," and yesterdays meeting
was but the start of one of the great
est powers for public good that Kid.
der county has ever known.

JUSTICE TO THE SEAMEk.

The sub committee of the house of representatives has under considera . tion memorial from Hon. Andrew Furuseth. president and representative of the International Seamen's Union of America.
 This memorial should he reported faNorably and passed into favorable legislation by the house and afterward hy the senate.
 The effect of the legislation which President Furuseth has urged so long and zealously for his people will be to make the seaman a free man and to multiply the inducements to go to sea.
 II will equalize the cost of the op- eration of vessels in our own ana other countries-lifting up the foreign sea : men without lowering our own.
 Ultimately it will compel the pow- CTS of Europe to change their maritime laws to correspond with our own. be- cause it would be useless 10 continue laws of seaman slavery not respected by vessels coming to our ports.

hearts when given life. like germs from disease In large cities or ,n communities where changes of popd lation occur often such germs are lia- ble to extinction as are real disease germs when the air circulates freely. but in confined Alaska camp in win ter they flourish like the crawling things in the stagnant ocean of the Ancient Mariner.
 However. the people of Alaska and the people of Nome particularly are as rule too generously minded to bs assdssins of character. They are to, intelligent also no, to recognize tis fact that d man who will wilfully de- stroy character would also destroy life If he had the physical courage.
 But, it would almost be impossible to have thousands. or hundreds. of people Cungregated without the pres cnce of one or two individuals who are afflicted with the power and desire to scatter their leprous scandal bacilli all over the population which is unfortun- ate enough to contain them. IL is sad to think that one such individual. de- spicahly negligible in every other re- speCt. holds power over any man in the community whom he might select as victim, and. infinitely worse. over any woman. He could give life to- morrow to few words which would enter the souls of others and multiply and grow greater and more vigorous with the length of existence until they overwhelmed the man or woman against whom they were directed.
 Very often such words are spoken carelessly and without evil Intent. Tn moment of thoughtlessness or pe- culiar mental levity things are said which the speaker would give much to recall. This happens to everyone and all that can be done is to keep re- minding ourselves of the danger.
 For him who wilfully spreads the germs of scandal from his own putrid soul nothing can he said. He Is the seed and breed of poisoned atmos- phere.

BELIEF IN CORN BREAD Ex.
 PlODEO

Among other old beliefs that inves. tigatlon of the bureau of chemistry has upset is the faith that most housewives placed in corn bread as more nutritious than wheat bread.
 In recent report il is shown that the latter contains less waste, less water and more of the elements that go to make up good food. Likewise it Is demonstrated that one might eat salad all day and be little better for it.. while on the contrary nutritious luncheon may he made of English walnuts. Bananas are largel ya fraud, containing mostly water. and as for vegetables a great variety is required if the diet is restricted to them alone.

NEWS OF STRIKES.

some people seem to harbor the idea that d publication of the news of striking paN hds th, effect ot getting iot of p"or men tu spend money prospectiHs. They never seem to think that the publication "f such news often leads to d poor man striking it rich.
 Now. any man who IS foolish enough to rush away the urst time he reads about strike might US well lose his money then ds not. for he certainly has not sense enough tn hold Il long Every child knows that news of strikes is by no means always reliable. but newspapers are not foolish enough to endanEer their reputation just for fun 's~-V "'th mol publish stories of strikes unless they are in possession of some reliable information.
 Men should not. and what i- more they do not. rush of to new fields just because newspaper has told them a strike was made there. some altruis- tic gentlemen appear to be awfully upset at the thought that poor men" will be taken in by false reports, but they must know in their hearts that the poor men or any other man will take care to hear more about strike than just one story.
 IL is remarkable fact. as stated some time ago, that the value of a strike is in direct ratio, almost, to its distance from the place where the news is published. If the Nugget told today that strike had been made in Sixtymile or Iditarod quite a lot of people would be inclined to believe 1t. Publish similar story about Anvil creek and most people will be natur- ally inclined to doubt il until fully confirmed.
 One of the reasons for this is that paper is known to be inclined to tell only good news about it's camp, if it is paper worthy of the support of the people. and is not anxious particular ly 10 boost other camps. But peoplel should remember that news coming :ol q paper from another camp is sent byl someone who makes it his business to blow his own camps horn and he probably will be less reliable as tie news he sends out will be published where il cannot be confirmed or de- ni61 Such correspondent is per fectly right.

 Never mind shedding tears about the poor men" who are led astray.I They do not need sympathy. We have all taken our chances.

 Who is there that would not followl ten stampedes if he thought just one would be successful? oh. let us cut out the Mollycoddleism

Woodrow Wilson Explains Why He Dropped
Front Name, and Causes Politicians to Make
Wild Scramble for Dictionaries.

How did Woodrow Wilson come TO drop
the Thomas" from his name? The
Hartford Courant says that sixteen years
ago, when the President-elect was a pro-
fessor at Wesleyan University, he ex-
fellow-professor. The explanation. which
seems to satisfy the Hartford Courant
perfectly, was as follows:
For those who wish to achieve any
success in public life" said Prof Wilson,
when the conversation turned on names
and their value. the best kind Of name
Is one that consists of dactyl and
spondee. For instance, Daniel webster
The next best kind of name is one con-
sisting of two spondees-WOodrow VIII
son, for instance"
The secret is out now.
But Is it common property? Is 1t avail
able for the gentlemen who think long,
long thoughts about achieving success
in public Iife?"
That can hardly be claimed for it.
What and Why Are These:
What is a dactyI? What is a spOndee?
These are the questions which the man
with political ambitions will promptly
ask himself. What is the real signih-
canoe of the tip which the most sue
cessfuI man in public to-day has given
his feuow-seekers?
President-elect Wilson may tell his fel-
low-climbers to go to the dictionary"
and unwrap his meaning there. But 1t Is
notorious fact that for most politicians
there is never a dictionary handy.
