REFRAlNs FROM HOT AIR

Ryder Journal: Blaisdell for con
gress seems TO be the favorite in
Minot and Ward county, with an ex
cellent chance to win. He is young
energetic, thoroughly conversant with
state affairs, and is keenly alive ia
the benefits that may accrue to his
district in furthering irrigation pro
jects, securing federal aid in making
the Missouri navigable, looking after
the interests of the homesteaders, Sc.
curing rural delivery extensions and
otner practical affairs of a possible con
stituency. 1t is refreshing to note he
makes no claim to a desire to con-
duct the affairs of the United States
If elected to Congress, rather as
suming fledgling congressman will
have plenty on his hands attending
to the needs of his particular district
He is to be congratulated on hi3 good
taste in refraining from the usual hot
air dished out by congressional can
didates, and has wholly the correc,
idea Of the proper sphere Of his dut
les, if elected congressman from this
district.

J. R. GiIbreath Returns From
Trip Through Southern Half
Of Morton Couoty

J. r. Gilbreath of Minneapolis, a
real estate dealer who formerly re-
sided in Mandan, has been spending
a few days in this vicinity looking aft.
er business affairs, and incidentally
visiting his father, Commissioner OF
Agriculture and Labor w. C. Gil
breath. Mr. Gilbreath enjoyed trip
through Morton county while in this
section.
AN immense acreage is being sown
in southern Morton county," said he,
and this is largely due TO the fact
that the railroad is selling its lands
WITH the provisions that the buyers
break up a certain amount each year.
However in that section the farmers
are not doing as good farming as fur
ther north in the county.
Much better farming is being done,
especially southwest of Mandan, where
everything is in fine condition. l nev-
er saw the soil in such excellent shape
as it is this year. The farmers are
evidently taking advantage of better
farming advices.
MANY new gasoline plowing outfits
are making their appearance in the
county, at least fifteen new outfits
having been purchased by farmers in
the south half of the county. Condi-
tions are certainly appearing favor
able this year"
Mr. Gilbreath departed for Mime.

BY Charles Brown, Dean Yale Divinity
School.

| CThis is the fourth in the series of ar

Baptist church. Read John iv, today.)
Jesus was starting from Jerusalem to
Galilee. He must needs go through

salem and GaliIee. He showed breadth
of mind by going straight through The
| bigots went around for the Jews had
no dealing with the Samaritans.' They
would not eat with them, nor buy food
from them, nor talk with them, nor
willingly walk upon their soil. But
Jesus went right through eating Sam
aritan food, drinking the water from
their wells, talking with their people
| and enrolling followers destined to be-
come Good Samaritans.''
When he reached Jacobs well he met
crude, ignorant immoral woman who
had come out to draw water. He used
this chance opportunity for spiritual
| ends. He was always about His
Fathers business.
Tt seemed at first as if the gulf be-
| tween the two was wide He was a
man. she was a woman. He was g. Jew,
she was a Samaritan. He was sinless,
she was openly immoral living then
with a man who was not her husband.
They had one thing in common-they
were both thirsty. Jesus began on that
common ground by saying, Give me
drink
The woman tWitted him with the
fact that his thirst was for the mo-
ment more powerful than his race pre-
JUDGE. How is it that thou being a
Jew aSkest drink of me, a woman of
Samaria 90 But the Master wasted no
time on petty prejudice. IF thou
knowest the gift of God. thou wouldst
ask of me living water And from
that familiar symbol suggested by
their common thirst and by the his
toric well of Jacob where they stood,
he proceeded to indicate to her the
sources of a satisfaction which would
not be temporary, leaving the life to
thirst again, but abiding. Through
faith in Him the inner life may drink
from a well of water springing up
with everlasting life.
He showed in his conversation with
this crude, ignorant, immoral nature
the profound respect he felt for the
spiritual capacity of every human be-
ing.
He dealt with her in the terms of
her own immediate experience, making
his spiritual appeal crisp, fresh, real
that it might enlist the interest of his
nearer and secure a genuine response.
He found this work of spiritual min
istry to a thirsty soul so absorbing
that he forgot his own hunger COM
pletely. When the disciples returned
with the food they had bought he said,
Il have meat to eat that We know not

Although they have passed the bar

The second part is entirely different
and is an original and unique enter
tainment. The scene opens at the col
lege club house after a victorious foot
ball game. There is great hilarity,
and a big celebration is under way.
The student council decides to put on
a celebration in the chapel that even
ing and asks the members of this club
to put on a stunt. The boys decide
to put on a minstrel show and a re-
hearsaI takes place. Up to this point
the members of the club have been
dressed in old clothes, sweaters and
caps. They now proceed to make a
lightning change for their minstrel
rehearsal, and appear attired in tan
shoes, black silk hose, white pants and
shirts, red ties and small red golf caps.
The minstrel show consists of alter
nate solos and popular negro selec,
