ONTO TRAINS MUST BE
STOPPED

A number of boys in this city have
the habit of jumping onto trains at
both the Great Northern and 500 de-
pots and stealing rides for longer or
shorter distances. This is a very
dangerous practice and some day
some boy will lose an arm or leg,
Or perhaps be crushed to, death under
the wheels of the cars. Besides the
practice is strictly unlawful and sub
1ects these boys to very heavy fines.
1t is also dishonest practice and no
boy who wants to grow up and make
an honest, manly man will want to
cheat even railroad company. Boys
take warning in time before one or
more of you are manned for life or
perhaps killed while taking these un-
lawful rides. Let all parents warn
their boys against the dangerous prac-
tice

GOOD ROADS

Good roads were discussed at the
meeting of the North Dakota Fedora
tion of Commercial Clubs at Grand
Forks recently. Following are some
of the points brought out there.
Get on the good roads wagon.
A sensible horse appreciates a good
road.
Instead of cussing your earth road,
just drag it.
At the present time, we start roads
everywhere and land nowhere We
should have system. We should get
out of the kindergarten stage of road
construction and maintenance.
Elbert Hubbard says: Instead of
hitching your wagon to a star, sup
pose you just get in touch with the
good roads movement
Make road drag and get busy on
your earth roads while they are soft,
and you will have a smooth surface
when summer comes.

Confirmation Glass Confirmed

A class Of eight young people were
confirmed Easter Sunday by Rev. Oh
son of the Mission church, at Erick
Lefrooth's place in West Valley.
The class consisted of six girls and
two boys, as follows: Arthur Lind
strom, Hjalmar Lofstrom, Minnie LOT
strom, Bette Lefrooth, Della Erick-
son, Mamie Holmgren, Minnie Nelson
and Ella Nelson.
The services commenced at 10 a. m.
At IL recess was taken when lunch
was served to at least $50 people. Al
ter lunch the services continued at
which time the class was given over
800 questions. Not once did they
falter or hesitate, but with clear.
distinct tone, which could easily be
heard by all listeners, did they answer
promptly. This was not only a great
credit to the class but a great pleas
ure to the parents and listeners and
last but not least, a credit to their un-
tiring instructor, Rev. Olson, who has
SO faithfully prepared them for the
confirmation.

c. N. RY. TO PUT IN DOUBLE
TRACK

That the Canadian Northern will
lay double track between Winnipeg
and Porth Arthur this coming sum-
mer is a certainty. This will mean a
vast expenditure and the employment
of maay men to carry out the under
taking. McKenzie-Mann, the head
officials of the G. N. R., have had this
move in contemplation for some
months past and thought it the most
feasible plan to keep their ever in
creasing traffic from blockade. The
company will expend $25,000,0O0 west
of the great lakes and the job will re-
squire 10000 men, and the work will
begin during the early summer, in or
der to have the rails laid before the
movement of the big western harvest
begins. Warroad Pioneer.

HE RURAL CARRIER
Walt Mason Sings His Praise il
Rhyme


The rural postman, day by day,
goes on his long and toilsome way,
and takes the farmers mail; he jogs
across the fields and moors and much
of hardship he endures for small sup.
ply of kale. I've seen him driving
through the rain, but never knew him
to complain or read the riot act; he
pushes his tired old nag along and
greeted with a cheerful song the cold
wet cataract. I've seen him when
the blizzard blew; I've seen him when
the snoWstorm snew, but never heard
him roar; serene he drives along the
trail and leaves the farmers green
goods mail in tin box by the door. I've
seen him when the roads were rough,
and when the raw winds were enough
to make a mummy cuss; he jolted
Ger the ruts and stones that dislocat-
ed all his bones, and never raised a
tuss. His wages make a paltry heap,
and half of it must go to keep his wa
gon in repair, to manicure his trusty
bay and keep it's stomach full of hay,
but he does not despair; I've seen no
rural postman yet who made it his
life work to fret and whine about his
lot; when duty calls him to the road,
without complaint he takes his load,
Johnny on the Spot.-Walt Mason.

HOW TO ERADICATE CANADA
THISTLE

The following was clipped from the
columns of the Bemidji Pioneer and
we reproduce the article believing this
treatment ought to be given trial, as
it has been tried and found to eradi-
cate the Canada thistle in every case
where the instructions were followed
out.
after the thistles have made q
fair growth and perhaps the nearer
blossoming time the better, give them
a liberal dose of salt in the morning
when thoroughly wet with dew. Do
not NOW them off before applying the
salt, but apply to the entire plant. If
this is properly done the thistles will
be dead inside of twenty-four hours.
AS some may not be hit the first
time subsequent applications of the
salt should be made. With little care
large patches can be completely Grad
icated in a few days. Remember one
thing: Don't NOW off the thistles be-
fore applying the salt. R. Trimmer.

PRESIDENT TAFT ON POPIjl Al
GOVERNMENT

Opponents of President Taft snare
no efforts to misrepresent and distort
his views and opinions no matter on
what question it be. So it is being
sal dand reiterated again and again
by the political fakirs and muck-rak-
ers, that the President is against non
ular government and favors the rule
of the classes instead of the rule Of
the masses. What the president has
expressed himself against is hastv
pre]udiced and ill-considered action on
the part of the people when misled by
political agitators and demagogues IS
such constitutes menace to the re-
public. In his speech at the John
Erickson festival in Chicago last
month, President Taft spoke eloquent
ly of popular government thus:
The truth is that in this latter
century we have vindicated popular
government in way it has never been
vlndlcated before. We have taken
from all the countries of the world
those who would come to us seeking
better conditions, seeking freedom
and prosperity. Distrust of popular
government! The pride that 1 have
that this is popular government and
that it has shown itself the strongest
IN history is as deeply imbedded as
any feeling that is in me- I would be
the last man to exclude from the di-
rection of the ship of state the will of
the American people. That is the ulti-
mate source of authority and it does
| not in any way minimize my faith and
my love of popular government that I
insist that the expression of that pop
ular will shall be with. the delibera-
tion to make it safe and sound.
Il fully and freely admit and assert
that when the American people have
had time to learn all the facts and
have time to consider their bearing,
their deliberate Judgment is a wiser
and better guide to be followed by the
state than the judgment of the most
experienced statesmen, the most
learned jurist, the most profound stu
ldent of history. In this proper sense
the voice of the people is nearer to
the voice of God than any other hui
man decision"

FINE SINGING ASSURED

After having been greeted by large
audiences in several states and in
Canada, the Lyric Male Chorus will
render a program before the music
loving. people of Warren next Satur-
day evening at the NJ. w. A. Opera
House. Members of the Lyric Chor-
US have many friends in Warren
friends from college days at st. Peter.
The singers have notified the latter
that their. very best efforts will be
shown in Warren, which is considered
one OF the favorite places on the itin-
erary. The program, therefore, will
be more interesting here than at other
places.
The survival Of assemble singing, es-
pecially male choruses, is credited to
college students, whose studies of
mythology and history of the father
land aids in training their voices into
the poetic flights of the musical
spheres. The members Of the Lyric
chorus are swedes, and the repertoire
next Saturday evening will include
some of the most famous songs Of
Scandinavia. Lovers of the old plan
tation songs will not be disappointed,
as the G. A. G. boys have many Of
these ready for encores.
The Lyric Male Chorus will arrive
from Kennedy on Saturday afternoon.
On Sunday the boys will be in Alvara-
do, where good attendance already
is guaranteed.
