There approached two maidens of beauty rare

In Taras halls where the saint of late
Had preached and baptized, and his daughters came
To confer with the man of sanity fame;
For sorely perpexed by what he had said.
For light and guidance they earnestly prayed.
But sunny beams fell their path
With terror they thought Of the sun gods wrath.
BAPTIZED by the saint in the holy names,
The Druid's belief still their minds inflames
And they wanted proof that the Christians creed
Was true and supplied the souls ev'ry need

And they answered that doubts their minds possessed
That to live was pain while by fears oppressed

That the triune God is the God supreme
That your faith is not fatuous dream"

And after you pass the valley of death
You will have your wish, but the face divine
May appear in the eucharist bread and wine.

''cnAmPIoMs OF NORTH DAKOTA
Ceurant's Claims for SchooI Of Forestry
Team Much Toe Modest

Last week when we publish

referred to them as champions
of the northwestern part Of the
state" but it seems we are
much too modest and that we
should have said. i champions
Of the state" for the reason
that the local team has chal-
1enged all comers and were pre-
pared to keep the scorer busy
in any event so that, the rec
ord of their games considered,
they feel that they are perfect
ly justified in claiming cham
pionship honors. The Courant
does not employ a special sport
ing editor to pass upon such
matters so we present the claim
for what it is worth. Those
who are wise to such matters
can fight it out. So far as we
are concerned state champ

Fest Your Seed Grain

I A large proportion of these
corn offered for sale or on the
farms in' this state will not
grow. This makes it import
ant for all farmers to test their
seed corn! early. Buy all corn
on test, then test again to be
sure the. terminating power is
retained. Corn should be test
ed whether purchased from
seed, houses or taken from. the
farm grown seed. Planting
corn of low terminating power
will result in disappointment
in stand and yields.
Test corn whether it is she'll
ed or is on the ear. The ear
test will enable one to select
the highest testing ears in: pro-
ducing this years crop. Ears
which show poor terminating
power or low vitality may be
used to a, certain extent in the
field crop by sowing in drills
for fodder corn.
Corn which will test 75 per
cent. Or over showing a strong
vitality should be retained; this
year for seed. 1t will be advis-
able in many localities to. plant
corn even though it tests as
low as So per cent. Such corn
should be sown in drill rows
rather than checked in. It
should be of some good variety.
Among the best varieties of
corn recommended for North
Dakota, is the Northwestern !.
Dent, Golden Dent, White Cap
Yellow Dent, Gehu Triu nph
and Mercer. The Flint varie-
ties are especially valuable in
the southern and southeastern
parts of the state. Always
plant variety which will
mature under the conditions in
your locality. Maturity is of
the utmost importance.
The seed corn situation is
difficult one. Every effort
should be made by the North
Dakota farmers to maintain
last years acreage. If it is
necessary to plant the acreage
to low test corn, let it be of a
good variety. Know first,
what your test is so as to deter
mine the amount which should
be sown to the acre. So far as
possible obtain seed grown in
your own locality. Test it so
that you may know what you
ARE planting and can govern
yourself accordingly.
Approved, Thomas Cooper,
Secretary.

It was stated last week that
the School Of Forestry basket
ball team had only one more
game to play this season, the
return game at Kenmare on
March Is, but since that time
Lakota's high school team
signified a desire to try conclu-
sions and arrangements were
made to play them at the
School Of Forestry gymnasium
this evening at 8: 80. The ex-
.pense guarantee in this case is
rather large and the boys will
need liberal patronage to come
out even. incidentally it is
likely that the game will be an
interesting one. 5

OIL ELECTION
Special Election viii be Called In
Bottlneau School District
SPECIAL DISTRICT is DESIRED
Many Advantages In Making 4
Change in Present Form Of
School Government

Several months ago move
ment was started in this city
looking to the organization of
a special school district includ-
ing the territory now in the
Bottineau school district and a
petition has been in circulation
for some time to secure the
necessary names to call spe-
cial election to pass on the
question. At a meeting of the
commercial club on Monday
evening it was decided that the
work of circulating the petition
was dragging along at too slow
a rate and committee of seven
was appointed to complete the
list by Tuesday evening.
A thorough canvass made on
Tuesday resulted in a total of
36l names, many more than
would be necessary for the pur-
pose and it is expected that an
election will be called very
soon in order to get the matter
disposed of before seeding COM
mences.
Under the provisions relat-
ing to special districts there
will be five directors instead of
three and the board will have
additional powers that are
needed for the best interests of
all the schools .in the district.
They can keep in touch with
school affairs and close super.
vision will have tendency to
cut down expenses and put the
district in better financial con-
dition..
1t is not expected there will
be serious opposition to the
change.

March 10 On II Earnest
LAFoLLETTE MAN SPOKE HERE


It is evident that a fight to
the finish will be made for the
North Dakota republican dele
gate between now and the
presidential primary on March
10 and that LaFollette intends
to carry the state if it is posi-
bic. Several LaFollette speak
ers are in the state and will
make a spirited campaign for
Fighting Bob.
The first gun of the campaign
was fired here on Wednesday
evening by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Thomas Morris, Of La
Crosse, Wis. He spoke at the
opera house and, because of in
sufficient advertising, had a.
rather small audience. He
was introduced by Editor Falk-
enstein and lost no time in
getting down to his argument.
He dwelt upon LaFoHette's
natural leadership of the pro-
gressive republicans, told of
the fight that he had made for
the cause, of the victories he
had won in his own state and
at Washington and made a
plea for the square deal in
the situation which now pres
ents itself. He seldom men
toned the names Of Roosevelt
or Taft but some Of the allu-
sions made were very pointed
and every time he scored a
point, particularly against the
attitude. of the strenuous one, = :.
appiause broke out. It was
very evident that LaFollette
has good many warm admir-
ers here. NJ n,

City yesterday afternoon, at
Westhope last night and will
be at Souris and Antler this
afternoon and evening. @

MRcHs,

|of the future welfare Of the
party The universal senti-
ment. aside from those who
are personally interested seems
to favor the elimination Of all
candidates who are now in the
field and to unite on some one
whose name has not been men
toned as a pronounced candi-
date. / do not feel that | would
be justified in asking my
friends to support me in the
face of the sentiment that I
lind exists for Mr.. John Brueg.
ger of Williston, and for the
best interest Of all concerned L
am willing to step aside and
give democrats achance to vote
fer a, man whom they really
want; to support.
Mr.. Bruegger is not urging
that his name be placed on the
primary ballot, and will only
consent to make the race on
the ground that is for the best
interest of the party. Ihonest-
" think every democrat who
has the interest of the party at
heart should take an active part
i'm mediately in supporting Mr..
:Bruegger. This is not an at
tempt to discredit those who
are already in the field, it is
simply an effort to nominate
candidate whose election would
do more to unite and strengthen
the party than any other man
we can name.
Yours for the good of demo
cracy,
