Dolly Show

%%%HE day had been a dMu one for Jack and Evelyn.
"But tomorrow" said Jack, sim going to play BAN with the boysR
And i don't know what I'm going Il asn walled Evelyn
You might have a doll show daddy suggested. Arn surea all your
little girl friends would enjoy d party like Polly gave.
First Polly told all her little girl friends TO come and bring their dous to
her house O a certain afternoon
Little girls who had doll carriages yer 10 wheel their dontea In the
carriages, and the carriages were to be trimmed mp with ribbons and paper
roses l A
The little girl who had the handsomest doh was to get a prize The little
girl who had the most prettNy dressed doll was to have a prize; also the little
girl who brought the most tastefuny trimmed carriage was to have a prize;
another prize was to so TO the oldest doh; another to the one that showed the
best care.
"Pouys mother helped her with the prizes One was a nice boz of candy,
another a pretty cake and a third 9 little basket OF fruit There wa nothing
costly All the little prizes we're made at home
Besides the prizes, POHys mother and her aunhe were TO serve sand.
wtcheg and lemonade and cake to the little girls when the show was over.
The judges were to be three srandnas OF the little girls asked to the doll
party.
"0n the afternoon Of the party the little girls paraded around the garden
in a line with their baby carriages and dolls. They looked fine. Even Pouys
brother, who was the only boy allowed to be present, said they were.
Then the dolls were stood up in q row while the old ladies' made I'D their
minds about the prizes. Such a time IL they had whispering and laughing.
"The prizes were not to be given until the little girls went home
Before this came the dolls tea party Thimbls biscuit and lemonade
served to the dolls at a special little table around which they all sat in
little chairs
'Then came the little girls party, and as they laughedand chattsd over the
lemonade and cake they almost forgot that perhaps some little girl had a doll
who might not get a prize
ut was only as they lined up to go home that their faces looked sober.
But they needn't for that lovely Polly Perkins mamma had said that
every single little girls dolly must have q PRICE and she had prizes for then.
So they all went home happy

All parents or guardians who have
children to enter the First grade of
the Fargo public schools, or who have
children to enter the Fargo public
choois by transfer from other schools,
are requested to apply at the superin-
tendent's Office for the entrance GER,
tfficate before Sept. Q, 1912. the date
when the regular work of the schools
will begin. The office is open at all
times, but the special days set for this
purpose are Sept. 8, 4 and s. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that children
are admitted to the First grade during
the fall term only, and that children
becoming s years of age after Sept. 8.
1912, and before Jan. i, 1913, will be
admitted at the opening Of the schools,
Sept. 8, 1912.
In this connection, attention is CALI

DEFECTIVE SCHOOL CHILDREN.

Now that the date for the opening of
the public schools is approaching 1t is
of especial Importance that the par
ents pay some attention to the condi-
ton of the health Of their children.
Fargo cannot afford to overlook this
feature.
Fifteen millions of the 20, 900, 900
school children in the United States
are in need of medical attention-be-
cause oy physical defects which are
wholly or in part durable.
This is the opinion of DR.. Thomas
H. Wood, professor Of physical edit
cation in teachers college, Columbia
university.
One million American pupils have
defective hearing. Five million have
defective vision.
Six millions Of the public school pu-
pills are suffering from enlarged tom
sils. adenoids, or enlarged cervical
glands which need treatment.
Six millions Of pupils suffer from
malnutrition.
And 10000, 900, or one-haif Of the
public school pupils, have defective
teeth which are interfering with
health.
These figures are prepared by DR..
Wood after wide experience in exam
lining school children. They are re-
garded a authoritative by the United
States bureau of education-which has
issued them. in pamphlet form for
general distribution.
Parents, teachers, and boards of ed
ucation face a great responsibility in
trying to preserve and better the
health Of pupils.
Parents should heed the warning Of
medical advisers n teachers when a
defect is pointed out in a child. Phys
ical defects and dull minds go together.
Poor hearing, defective vision, and adj
enoids r responsible for millions of
stupid pupils who should have imme-
date medical attention.

THE P~oPULIsTs.

The press of the country has COM
rt1ented on the fact that eight dele
gates attended the national populists
convention at st. Louis the other lay.
The number was ridiculously small
The direct following Of the organiza-
ton has disappeared like the mists
before the rising sun. But populism
has not been in vain. Most things
they advocated in their original plat
form in Omaha in 1892 have been
gobbled up by one or both Of the pres
ent national political organizations.
1T must amuse the old time popu-
lists TO e the zeal with which the
ideas they advanced a score of years
ago is now so enthusiastically es-
poused by those who at that time rid
iculed them most. Their u~northodox
stun OF twenty years ago is now
strictly orthodox.
The octette that met in st. Louis
probably had cause for eIf-congratu-
lation over the adoption of many of
their theories-even If they wept ove
the disappearance Of the thousands of
voters from their own ranks.

Press Comment

Cooperstown Courier: The democratic
papers are somewhat disappointed
mat Hellstrom's campaign expenses are
more than Hanna's as per the report
MED by both these gentlemen and now
the dems are intimating that Mr.. Ham
ma did not file a correct statement and
that his expenses were much more thar

would concern themselves more about
Heilstrom and find out how much he
paid for an interest in some patents
worked out by a n named Wellen,
so reported, and who on the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Hellstrom received a
pardon from our notorious pardon
board, the people would have something
worth thinking about. The democratic
candidate will find that he has a few
are counted and then he will fnd that
Mr.. Hanna has come under the wire
about ten lengths ahead OF him.
Cooperstown Courier: The efforts of
Lauder and a few other politicians to
defeat the wishes of the people by try
ing to put a third party in the field
for governor to defeat l.. 3. Hanna will
avail them nothing. Mr.. Hanna will be
elected by a large majority. Just re-

these bulletins suggested that some in

If would aid us In predicting changes
Of weather.
These bodies of static electricity
r caused by planetary influences

causes Of the peculiar actions Of birds
and animals, OF geese and hogs and
the human rheumatic pains before the
coming of radical weather changes.
These holes in. the air have a base

they exclude the atmosphere. In them
we feel depressed for want of pure
air and that condition affects all ant
NAL life. A machine that will detect
these static, negative. electric bodies

UNFORTUNATE coNvlcTs.

It is extremely unfortunate that the
Chic convicts, regarded as trustys,
made an attempt to escape, 1t is not
so much that their action will make 1t
harder for them and they will have to
serve extra time for the offense-as
the injury it will do other convicts of
Ohio and the rest Of the states.
For the past few years a great deal
of attention has been paid to humani-
tartan systems Of handling prisoners.
Methods in vogue a decade ago are
now regarded as obsolete and are gen.
orally abandoned. Only an occasional
penal institution at present treats the
prisoners inhumanely.
The adoption Of the honor system
and other plans have greatly alleviat-
ed the condition of the criminals in
North Dakota and other states. In
recent months many instances of
modern treatment Of prisoners have
been reported. In North Dakota a
number, some of whom were lifers,
were permitted to go to Fort Lincoln
to play a game Of baseball. They all
came back. In Washington state a
number of prisoners were sent miles
away, without guards, to do road
work-and they returned. Many sim
liar instances have been reported.
The public was con~gratulating it
self that the new system was working
finely when Thirteen trustys in Ohio es-
capped, and three of them are still GO
ing. These thirteen made it harder
for every other prisoner and have re-
tarded the forward movement for con-
victs.

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 17.-My
last bulletin gave forecast Of disturb
ance to cross the continent Aug. 81 to
Is; warn wave, Aug, 20 to "a; cool
wave, Aug. % to q. Moderate tenn
peratures are expected to prevail dur
ing this disturbance. Not much rain
where it has been dry the past thirty
days. / cannot promise a breaking
up Of the drought that now continues
in some sections.
The drought, not general but in
some sections, val predicted and To-
Gated six months ago. 1t will be re-
membered that these bulletins located
the best crop weather in vtcintttes or
the great lakes. That forecast has
proven remarkably correct. For the
balance of the country a drought was
predicted covering large sections.
That drought was predicted to begin
and damage oats the last half OF June,
but it began two or three weeks later,
and therefore the oats crop was bet
ter than predicted.
Nine months ago I predicted that
winter wheat would be seriously dam
aged by winter weather. This proved
correct, and a large acreage was
plowed up and sown in oats. Spring
weather greatly improved wintre
wheat, but the yield will not be as
large as now supposed, because. in
the estimates, the acreage plowed UP
has not been deducted.
The predicted drought is seriously
injuring corn at the date of this writ
Ing, Aug. 6, but the big spectators
will not permit that news to be pub
lighed. Oats prices are very low, and
all grain and cotton are low enough.
I therefore advise not to sell now, be-
neving you viii get better prices by
waiting.
These bulletins cannot tell you about
the fluctuations In grain and cotton
prices because the big spectators can
and do run prices above and below
normal as much as 5 cents Oh over a

The women will take a more i'm
portant part in politics this year than
ever. 1t is nothing new that they
should participate in the political
game. They have been doing that
from time immemoria1-but this year
they are making a more definite and
active effort.
No doubts the influence Of the
women on the votes in many presiden-
tial eiections-despite their lack of
suffrage until within a comparatively
recent period. AS the number of
states permitting woman suffrage in
creases-this phase of American poll
tics becomes more important.
Under the new deal the methods OF
the women may change-but the re-
suits will be very much in evidence.
Instead of wheedling husbands, sweet
hearts and brothers into voting their
way-the women will, in many states,
vote themselves.
And why shouldn't the women vote
for president or pOundmaster-or any
other official" they wish? They are
usually Is well qualified as the men.
If the women know enough to be
mothers and wives and sisters of vot-
ers-there seems to be no reason why
they should not be permitted the
rights of suffrage-if they want it.
North Dakota has given women par
tial suffrage. Since statehood they
have been permitted to vote for school
officers. II they have sense enough
for that-why not sufficient judgment
on the qualifications of other candi-
dates? 1t will not be long before the
women of North Dakota have full suf-
frage-if they demand 1t.

Fargo, it is apparent that the effort
was started in this state simply to de-
feat Congressman Hanna. OF course
the effort was so apparent that 1t de-
feated itself and Boss Lauder did not
dare to push the naming of an indie
pendent ticket but put that off until
after h convention that meets In
Chicago Monday. Just why the third
party, which claims to be fathered by
Mr.. Roosevelt, should object to Mr..
Hanna, when he came here from Wash
tngton to work for Roosevelt before
the primaries, is more than the ordi-
nary voter can explain. Mr.. Hanna got
a splendid majority for the office of
governor at the primaries and there
is no reason to think that he will not
have the support of the republican
party and man good democrats at the
November election.

SCRIPTURE.
Mark x; 1852.

And they came to Jericho: and as
he went out Of Jericho with his dis
ciples and a great NUMBER OF people,
blind Bartimaeus, the o of Timaeus,
sat by the wayside begging.
And when he heard that it was Jesus
Of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and
say, Jesus, thou son Of David, have
mercy on me.
And many charged him that he
should hold his peace: but he cried
the more a great deal, Thou son Of
David, have mercy on me.
And Jesus stood still and command
ed him to be called. And they call the
blind man, saying unto him, Be of
good comfort, rise; he caIleth thee.
And he, casting away his garment,
rose, and came to Jesus.
And Jesus answered and said unto
him, What wilt. thou that I should do
unto thee? The blind mar said unto
him, Lord, that / might receive my
sight.
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy
way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
And Immediately he received his sight,
and followed Jesus in the way.
