year. They have a nice line of
goods and invite the public to do

business and cordially invite the
publc's attention. They always
figure the smallest profit possible.

conducted the Farmers Union store
at this place, but who has since

just the right size for his trade.
Mr.. Yeoman wants the best of trade,
therefore he invites you.

: .Poisons In the Stomach.

A most curious fact is that all food
contains the elements Of poison. and
in our body poisons are manufactured
from these For instance. meat fish.
cheese and milk are composed Of by
drogen. carbon. nitrogen and oxygen:
Take away the last and you have prus-
sic acid. We do not manufacture
prussic acid. it is true: But in every
stomach in the world, fermentation
goes on just as in brewery, and the
poisonous carbonic acid is made in
large quantities. If you breathed a
few days output of carbonic acid gas
you would inevitably die. Sulphuret
ed hydrogen is one Of the most deadly
gases known. yet in every stomach it
is made at one time or another. In the
stomach all food is converted into
what we call ''peptone," and If very
small quantity Of this found its way
into the blood it would kill as surely
as prussic acid.-Pearson's Weekly,

An AppeaI For Justice

Many crimes have been COM
mitted in the name of justice.
A later method seems to be to
commit crime in the name of
the school.
In recent issues of the Botti-
neau papers appears an ap-
parently harmless announce
ment that a special election
would be held March % for the
purpose of organizing Botti-
neau school district into spe-
cial school district. But back
of this lies a tale and we shall
try to tell that tale in part.
The assessed valuation of
Whitteron township (162-75)
lying outside the city of Botti-
neau is, in round numbers,
$111,OOO The school tax on
this at 80 mills is So, $50. In
this township there are about
IS children of school age all,
excepting possibly five or six,
of whom are accommodated in
two school buildings, each is
by 25 feet. These two schools
are maintain ed att an average
expense of $3.50 each. making
total of $500 expended for
schools in the township outside
the city of Bottineau. From
these figures it is very evident
that the taxpayers of this town
ship are forced to donate $3.50
annually to the city of Bottin-
eau and receiving no more
benefit therefrom than citizens
in the utternost parts of the
state.
Feeling the inj ustice impos-
ed upon us by these conditions
we have circulated, and shall
continue to circulate, a petition
asking that Whitteron town
ship 2-75) be set aside from
the Bottineau school district
and organized into a new dis
trict. We believe that the
fact that we have endured this
oppression for. several years is
no argument that we should
continue to endure it. Inn
mediately. on learning of this
action taken by citizens of the
township, certain parties in
Bottineau, willing for selfish
purposes to continue the per-
petration of this unjust tax,
circulated petition calling for
a special election, hoping by
this method to Athwart our
endeavors to secure justice.
Many of those who oppose
the division of the district &C K:
