these are a few of the numerous
products of American ingenuity dis

practically every country Of North

knows the American wire nail by
practical experience, since they, as
we'll as many other communities, are

last year was over $13,000,OOO, and
the countries to which they were

to think that you are living In America about 1876 years ago." said
daddy to Jack and Evelyn.
IF you can do this then you will think that the best and great
est man in the world Is General George washington. leader OF the.
American soldiers who are lighting against the English.
George Washington was a great and good man, and me 81 the best Things
about him was that when he once thought that it was right 70 DO anything ne
went ahead till he had done it.
so when he believed that the Americans ought TO De free rom the
grouchy and greedy old king who put his hand into their pockets whenever
he could washington went right ahead lighting against King Georges soldiefs
Though his own soldiers knew little about lighting and had seldom enough to
eat or YEA and often grumhled, Washington was never too dovnhearted to
fight whenever he got a chance. He kept right on hghtng even when beaten.
and, as people who never give up are apt to dc, he won.
THE British said he was lucky, but perhaps Providence had something to
do with his Incl. For instance. after the battle OF Long island, when the
Americana had been badly beaten and there seemed little chance for the
army TO get away. luck sent ore of those heavy fos that cone there ever TO
Ehs day.
while washington had been in New York another general had charge Of
mn Americans in the Hghk When he found things were going badly with the
Americans Washington went over to Long Island. Gathering together all the
boats he could, he hashly sent the soldiers to New York. Owing 20 the dense
fog the English could not see Whist Yrs going on
But there was q certain woman lying near the ferry Because they
thought her husband was helping the English her husband had been sent
away from home by the Americans. @
THE woman made up her mind to pay them back for this, and she hurried
her negro servant Of to tell the English general that the Americans were
crosdng the river In the fog
Gould ANYTHING have looked worse for the Amsreanss The negro reached
the British camp and spoke 10 an ofhcer. 1T happened to be a Hessian, one Of
the Germans who were hired by the English to fight the Americans. The
Hesaan officer could not speak English, and he thought the negro vas a SPY.
So he put him under arrest, and 1T was only hours after the Americans were
safely on the other side that the English learned what had happened.

HOW ABOUT THE LAW2

Grafton Record: Just how Frank o.
Hellstrom, warden Of the state peniten-
tiary can become a candidate for any
office within this state while still hold
ing the position of warden is some
thing we can't quite understand. The
law which created the board OF control
expressly prohibits n member Of the
board or any officer or employee of a
state institution subject to the board
from exerting his influence directly or
indirectly in favor of any particular
person or candidate for office, OF from
in any name contributing money or
other thing of value to any person for
election purposes. The penalty for vio-
lation of this provision of the law is
removal from office. This direct pro-
hibition from mixing in politics is in
tended to remove our public institutions
from the faint of -partizanship and
keep the board of control and the man
aging officers Of the state institutions
from using their positions to further
their own or their friends political
ambitions. Under the law as it exists
Mr.. Hellstrom would have kept within
the law had he first resigned before
| announcing his candidacy, but having

TYPHOID.

Uncle Sam had $4,000 soldiers with
in continental United States during
1911 and only thirty-nine cases of
typhoid fever. ..
Only one soldier out of every 1000
had typhoid--in spite of the fact that
thousands of them were camped for
months under conditions which killed
thousands of men at the time of the
Spanish a
Every soldier in the army had been
inoculated with typhoid prophylax-
the new serum which gives immunity
against the disease. Therein lies the
explanation of the army's. remarkable
bill of health.
Maj. Frederick F. Russell, the ty-
phofd serum expert of the army medi-
cal corps, has been working with ty-
phoid vaccination for years and is
probably the best authority in the
world on the subject.
In a recent statement he said the
compulsory vaccination against ty,
phoid, such as is required againsr
smallpox, would doubtless reduce ty.
phoid cases IS per cent in the United
States
While 12.SO1 officers and men wer,
encamped at San Antonio, Tex, las
year during the Mexican troubles
there was but one case Of typhoid
The city Of San Antonio itself, will
slightly more than SO. 900 inhabitants
had forty-nine cases and nineteen
deaths.
All the soldiers had been ~inoculate,
against typhoid. The citizens of Sal
Antonio had not.
This demonstration is conclusiv
enough to show the wisdom Of com
pulsory vaccination against typhoid.

STATE FAIR DATES.

The directors Of the state fair
turned down the proposition to fix
later dates for the exhibition. 1t is
planned to hold the show about the
same time as in former years.
The Forum believes a mistake has
been sol lie in adhering to the old date.
Some Of the reasons advanced for d
change were that the later date would
give the farmers an opportunity to
exhibit some of the crops of the cur
rent year. 1t was asserted that live
stock could be more easily and cheap
ly conditioned than in the midsummer
when feed prices were high and the
weather hot. Another argument was
that in the fall the people would have
more money to spend II there would
be a larger attendance-also that if the
fair was held in the fall the local mer-
chants would sell more goods. Sever
al other reasons were advanced.
TO Offset these it is conceded that
not as good races could be had in the
fan as in July-and possibly some of
the interesting exhibits and freak
shows would be more difficult to Sc
cure.
BY making the date Of the fair the
week before the Minnesota state fair
an interesting line of exhibits could
have been secured.

Anse Jadson had a good joke on q
burglar the other night. The burglar
told Anse to throw up his hands, and
keep still and Anse laughed and told
him to help himself. You see the
burglar didn't know what a committee
for the rummage sale had been there
that day and had gone through the
house with a vacuum cleaner and
picked up everything worth while. A
burglars life must be full of disap-
pointments.
There are a great many better ways
to get a reputation for havin' a lot OF
money than by pulling out a roll Of
bills in a saloon.

The government is forced to employ
q large force OF experts and laborers
at enormous expense to keep the
stream in condition for traffic.
Much OF the revetment work has
been washed out by high water and is
now being repaired. New work is be-
ing prosecuted, Light stations are
being Northumberland at frequent in
tervals along the river large forces are
seen conducting surveys and other
government work. In many towns
along the river there were government
boats, tied up for the winter, which
have been used for Improvement of the
river.
There is an inconsiderable amount
of business being done on the river
for the money which the government
is annually expanding. But the great
advantage to the people Of the valley
and elsewhere in the United States is
that by maintaining the river in shape
for traffic. club is held over rail-
roads and freight rates are kept much
lower than they would be il the river
was abandoned.

While the weather conditions will be

tent you are likely to go to sleep.
Winter is the time when there
is little excuse for men remaining
away. In the summer many insist
the heat makes them sleepy. That eX-
cuse is not valid now. In fact it is
better for the men to attend church
regularly at this season-as they may
wish absent themselves later-when
the fish begin to bite.

TAGGING BACHELORS.

A renewed effort is being made to
have some designating mark for the
bachelors. 1t is insisted that such a
precaution is necessary to protect the
innocent girls from the ~lirtatious
married men. Some suggest that
bachelors be forced to wear a button.
Old maids insist the single men over
80 should be branded in the forehead.
While the bachelors are being
branded would it not be a good idea
to make the single women wear a
badge as we'll? That would prevent
the ba chelors from wasting their eff
forts to attract the attention of some
happily married woman 1t is just as
fair to brand the goose-as the gander.
