Normal Notes.

The impression is gaining
ground both in town and in the
classrooms that the student
body is getting more out of the
normal this year than has ever
been accomplished before. One
reason for this is that the days
work is divided into six hour
periods, three beforenoon and
three in the afternoon, which
keeps the pupils pretty closely
confined at the school building.
Another potent factor in the
success of the present normal
is that the teachers are congen-
tally located, and can study to
b ct ter advantage. Several
times the remark has been
made since the opening of the
normal by various and sundry
housekeepers, (who agree d
rather reluctantly to the local
managers request for room and
board for the normal students)
that they are delighted with
the students who are with
them this year, and 80 far, no
complaints have reached Prof.
Young from dissatisfied board
ers.
In the enrolment this year
there is an unusually large per-
centage of young men. Here
tofore, the feminine contingent
has been in the great majority,
and the management regards it
as encouraging that there are
30 many young men taking
work in the present normal.

SECRET SESSIONS.

The insurgent meeting in Fargo this
week was executive in several re-
spects. Closed doors and star chamber
sessions have taken the place of the
publicity formerly advocated. In the
old days the insurgents were accus-
toned to rail against the meeting of a
few stalwarts to discuss political mat
tiers. The methods must have been
more nearly right than the insurgents
then cOnceded-else they would not so
soon have been adopted by the men
who most bitterly criticized them.
The executive committee seems to be
up against a hard proposition to raise
funds to pay off the Indebtedness in
Cured in the LaFoIlette campaign.
After the campaign was over the COM
mittee owed something like $4,000. At
a meeting held three weeks ago some
of this amount was subscribed-but
not all has been raised. The members
of the committee find the patriots
are not anxious to assist in paying for
defunct equines.

have had strikes of large proportion
in the past few months, those OF Eng
land being the most destructive which
any country ever saw. And, so far
as regards England and the Unit I'd
States, they are not yet entirely oyer.
A large part Of the Mississippi valley
has been visited by the greatest
floods ever seen, bringing the loss of
life and property UP to the highest
figures ever touched. The greatest
steamer ever built has just gone down,
involving the biggest catastrophe in
maritime annals. In the past few
months railroad wrecks have been es-
peciaily numerous. The tornado which
has destroyed several towns in states
just east Of us, is among the most
destructive which the country has
witnessed.
Wars greet us from many quarters.
Italy and Turkey are still fighting,
and though neither Is making any
Roadway, Italy is evidently getting
more tired of the conflict than is Tur-
key. Mexico is staggering under a re-
bellion which may transform itself
into revolution, for Madero Is making
no Roadway against Orozco or Zapata,
with Intervention by the United States
looming up as a possibility. There is
some reason to believe hat Madero
would welcome Intervention as a
means of uniting his people, trusting
to the United States to leave the coun-
try intact when it stepped out. Royal

China's republic is having trouble
with an element Of the republican ar
mics, and the outlook there is not as
satisfactory as was promised at the
beginning Of the year.
Here are some Of the calamities
which have struck the world in 1912.
And less than a third of the year has
yet told it's story. What will the rec
ord be when the whole twelve months
chapter is made up? Usually the
spring months make the worst record.
Floods on land inundate vast tracts
Of country, destroy property and life,
and p~recipitate railroad wrecks, while
on the ocean it is the season which
starts the big northern ice fields on
their travels. Hurricane and tornado
disport themselves with especial free
dom between winters close and the
advent of summer. The French Cas-
sandra. who, five or six months ago,
predicted hat 1912 would bring more
physical and social commissions thar
any year in recent times, and would
see the deaths Of a large number of
eminent men, may have deserved
something different from the SCOTS
which the world gave her.

places may be made at the next reg

GERM LADEN DUST
CAUSES CATARRH
ELY'S CREAM BALM KILLS THE
DEADLY CATARRH GERMS
NO STOMACH DOSING.

Catarrh, which is bad enough in it
self, often results in loss of taste, smell
and hearing. and leads to serious throat
and lung troubles if not promptly
checked. The seal of catarrh is
usually in the back of the nose, and
its natural course is downward, into
the throat n thence to the lungs.
Don't take n chances. If you have
any symptoms of catarrh-stuffed up
feeling in the head, nasty discharge
from the nose, sore throat, or dry
hacking cough, get a fifty CEN bottle
of Ely's Cream Balm from your drug
gist, and begin the treatment at
once.
This remedy is not a "burning OUT
or drying up process. It is simply
a cleansing, healing, antiseptic Balm,
taken through the nostrils back into
the head and throat where it Instantly
reaches the seat of the trouble. That's
the only way to effectually and per-
manently cure catarrh.
Catarrh makes you offensive to your
self and friends. Start using
Ely's Cream Balm today, and in a
short time you will be permanently
cured of this nasty, disgusting dis
ease. Agents, Fout s. Porterfield.

ESQ. The subject of the regimen

Keep the ten commandments and
get plenty of sleep" Whether his
longevity was due to observance of his
rule or not. he observed the rule faith
fully-and had passed his 93rd birth
day before he succumbed to the pneu-
monia germ that proved fatal. He was
a man who understood not only the art
of making money, but also the art OF
giving 1t away. He had dispensed
more than 100000 in gifts to vari-
o-s public objects-mostly edueationa
institutions and hospitals.

Sundays Aim Simplicity.
John ii:17. But who doeth the
will of God abideth forever"
Il would like to make my message
so simple tonight" said Mr.. Sunday,
that no one could ride up against me
in the day Of judgment and say they
were at this tabernacle seeking truth
and did not learn what they had TO
do to be a christian. / will give it
in such a way that none can fail to
understand. I believe a good many
come here who do not want to be
saved and merely come to pass away
time.
What God Demands.
Some one has aptly put it, God de-
mands three things. First, a willing
mind a desire to know Christ. If you
are not willing to forsake sin, Christ
can't save you. You've got to adopt
the principle that in order to get more
right o must use what you have. ]
'S LA5AiI IO" hah d year dBUs
Second, a desire to know the truth.
No knowledge will be condemnation
in h day of judgment. God will
show that you were preached to, but
wouldn't yield. One Of the most cursed
ambitions is the selfish desire for
knowledge that you might boast about
it to others.
Public Confession Necessary.
Third, an honest open public con-
fession that so far as you can you
will be a christian. You will never
get more light than you can use. Sup
pose / &C outside and see a man stand
ing with a lantern. l ask him where
he is going and he says he is going
home. l tell him to go ON. He says
he will not move until the rays of
the lantern reach his door. I tell him
he will stand there until he dies in
his tracks. The rays of a lantern only
penetrate a few feet and if the mar
keeps walking they will soon light
him to his door.
Influence on Others.
"If o don't use that knowledge you
have, you will never get more. We
are all framed in a network about us
called society. If you are noble, you
will lead others to be noble. If you
are two faced, they will take after
you. If you are healthful. others will
be healthful and if you are sinful,
others will be sinful. Everyone has
a right to know you are a christian.
If o won't take your stand they
won't know it. When this man says
he learns something and you have
never sought what he has learned but
say he doesn't know. you're a fool.
Belief and Faith Essential.
"It would be as easy for me to speak
with my feet as it is for any man or
woman to know God by any other
method than a. full surrender to him
Belief and faith is the basis Of judg-
ments in court. You are in a jury
box and a witness takes the stand. II
