THE COAL MINER
by CHESTER FIRKINs.

A rumbling from the deep
From out the tomb
Where living toilers keep
Their tryst with COON:
The human Titan stirs
His Athean arms
The vast worlds carriers
Ring stern alarms.
From craters made by man
Tho flamo tongues flare;
Across tho oceans span
Their lIghtnings glare.
For he. who In the damp
Yields pick and spade.
Sees By his helmet lamp
Tho world lie made.
Knows that upon his might
His perilled toll
Rests all Of earth's delight
And golden spoil.
The ships that ply the sea.
The wheels OF trade.
Move by his majesty
The sceptred spade:
WELDING the bolt of Zeus
In Vulcan's grave;
Chained like Promethers,
Imperial slave,
Who, by his vsngeancs-all.
Can hold today
A mighty land in thrall
To prove lis sway.
But who asks nothing more
Than food and home
For them that keep his door
And share his doom.
A rumble and a shock;
A challenge hurled
Beneath the bedded roof
Across the world.
Proud may his masters be,
To bow and yield.
God gave Thy victory
Unto his shield:

Methodist Church
Filed For Land

The Berthold Indian Reservation was
opened for settlement on May 4,
and filings made at Minot.
This was the result of a conference
between Judge James w. Written of
Washington, D. c., and the land office
officials held in Minot last week.
Judge Written, who spent only a few
hours in Minot, wired Washington re-
commencing that the date of the open
ing be fixed for May 4.
Under a recent order issued at the
general land Office at Washington, the
entire reservation on which filings will
be made has been placed in. the Minot
district. This means that all filings
will be made at that point.
Register DISCARD has not received a
copy of appraisal of the lands yet; but
he says that it has been appraised from
81 to Sc al acre, and under the rules of
the government, one-ffth of this must
be paid in cash at the time of the filing.
The filing began May 4 when fifty
people were allowed to file. Fifty ap-
plicants will be received a day until all
the claims, numbering 1000 are gone.

K. P.'s Attention

To the members of the Subordinate

main of North Dakota:
Supreme Chancellor Hanson requests
the observance OF Mothers Day."
Sunday, May 18th.
In compliance with this request l
wish the members of the K. P. lodges
Of North Dakota to make observance
as their several communities may pro-
vide for in the churches and elsewhere;
and if there is no observance adopt the
suggestion of the founder of the day
namely: The badge to be worn and
distributed is the White Carnation, this
National Memory Flower of Mother
and ''Home" symbolizes Motherhood.
It's wilderness stands for purity, its form
for beauty, it fragrance for Love; it's
wide field of growth, Charity, and it's
lasting qualities, Fidelity. If preferred,
wear your mothers favorite flower. If a
flower be unobtainable, wear your
,country's national colors, or the official
badge made for Mothers Day.
Live this day as your mother would
have you live it.

Farmer Stand BY Farmer

j. A. Buchanan, candidate for COVER
nor on the progressive republican ticket,
and H. M. Tucker, of Courtney, chair
man of the executive committee of the
progressive league, passed through our
city Monday morning on their way to
Minot. They spent a few days in Bis
marck to consult the different candi-
dates for state offices.
The outlook for Buchanan's nomina-
tion is very bright. The farmers will
stand by Farmer Buchanan. A banker
cannot represent the farmers as a
farmer can and it is the farmers and
not the bosses who will govern the next
election.

Johnson IN Race

1t is announced that C. A johnson is
in the race for the gubernatorial NOM
%ination. This is his third attempt
and he must be given credit, at least,
for perseverance, if not for consistency.
In both his former efforts MI. John
son was successful in winning the no.
mination at the primaries-but went
down to defeat at the fall election. He
was a good starter-but a poor finish
er.
In the two former attempts to cap
ture the governorship Mr.. johnson was
a stalwart. In the present effort-it is
understood that he is an out-and-ou wi
insurger of the most rabidly insurging
type. It is said that he has been in
oculated with the LaFollette virus
and believes that is the only way to
political salvation.
If Mr.. johnson. really is appealing to
the insurgents this time, his candidacy
will be unique-and it will be interest
ing to watch the rivalry between him
and j. A. Buchanan for the insurgent
support.
The machine of the insurgent faction
has pronounced for Buchanan-but it is
generally known Buchanan is not
wanted by q considerable insurgent
element. Whether these will greet
Johnson's candidacy with any more
enthusiastically be a matter Of spec
ulation. It is probable that the Scam
dinavian insurgents will give Johnson's
candidacy serious consideration-thoueh
what reception it will meet is proble-
