him. It is true that he might have meant here humble men who have childlike hearts, but we are inclined to feel that 1t was real children of which he Is speaking. Our treatment of them Ia our treatment of him, for he completely identifies himself with them.
 Jesus pictures for us the heavenly glory that rests upon children and yet we in our folly too often fail to re- ceive t2 em, ne ylect our God-given op- portuni.y, or, worse still, cause them to stun ble, and bring upon ourselves, upon our homes and our nation a pen alty even worse than that of being drowned in the midst of the sea. Such is the greatness of childhood. If we are to make sure of entering the kingdom 1t must be as we get back to childhood, get back to the principles of trustfulness. of humility, of service and of purity. It Is thea we enter into fellowshin with God.

KENMARE AND N|N0T
PLAYED TIE CAME
Gooseneckers Win Eight Minutes
After Time was CaIled-Pete aer-

The hardest fought basket ball
game ever seen in this city was tina.
between Minot and kenmare Friday
night, when the victory was won by
the Gooseneck boys, eight minutes
after time had been called. When
time was called, the score stood 13
to 10. 1t was decided 70 continue the
game and decide the contest defnit-
ely.
kenmare came down on a special
train chartered by Pete Bertelsun, a
tasket ball enthusiast. Pete deposit
ed his check for $3.50 to secure the
tram, got out some dodgers billed the
town and as a result, the whole
durn Gooseneck'' saw the big game.
The crowd raised $128 and with those
already in Minot, Pete made good on
his train, as he always does.
Kenmare went wild after their
team had won and you can't blame
them, for a mighty good team was
defeated. ....
The Minot girls won II to 4.

MUNICIPAL SLAUGHTER
HOUSE FOR M|NOT
City Commission Considering Making
Radical Change in Method Of Fur
nishing Meats to Minot Citizens.

Minot may have a municipal
slaughter house soon. The city COM
mission is considering this matter.
An ordinance has already been drawn
up, providing for the inspecting OF
all critters before being butchered,
and this will likely pass. The ordi-
nance may be changed providing for
the municipal slaughter house, where
the local meat dealers as we'll as the
farmers who wish to dispose Of meat
in this city, may have their animals
tested for a small sum, and butcher
ed. The commissioners realize that
there is bound to be some opposition
to either plan, on the part Of the far
mers. A Norwich farmer said to tho
editor of the Independent: II think
this will work a hardship on the far
mers who have been in he habit Of
butchering cattle and disposing Of
the meat to the people Of Minot.
have been able to make from : to
eight dollars on each critter in this
way, but it will not be practicable for
me to bring the animal here for IN
spection before 1t is butchered."
One Of the city commissioners said:
"I don't want TO do anything that VIII
not be right with the farmers. but
the people Of Minot must be protect
ed. We have been informed that
there have been no less than sixty
affected cattle killed and sold In MI
not during the past year or two.
The owner Of q lumpy-jawed COW
knows that It will do him no good to
! ship 1t to Chicago, for It would DO r.
fused there upon inspection. This
naturally would make Minot thu
dumping ground for diseased meat
unless we took certain precautions. =

DR.. 0fFERMAN CASE
ON IN DISTRICT COURT

Wienour License, 10 Being Tried.

The case Of the state VS.. DIR, y,
X. Oferman. a chiropractic, located
m this city, is being tried before
Judge DAVIS today. Mr.. Offerman u
defended by Sinkler & Heder States
Attorney Nash is prosecuting and in
tends to make test case, PROVIDING
the doctor carries it to the supreme
Court, which he no doubt will do, II
ne is convicted
In the last session of the legisla-
ture, law was passed, prohibiting
the practicing of medicine without q
regular license and the chiropractics,
most of whom have advertised ex-
tensivelv to treat many diseases with
their methods, may be greatly re-
stricted. The doctor was arrested
several months ago. The state al
!eges that the fact that Offerman
calls himeclf Doctor in his adver-
Using, and on the sign which he has
hung ont in front of the building In
which he is located is sufficient evf-
j'ence to convict him of practicing
without a license. No effort was
made by the state to show that he
had treated any particular person.
Tha defense stipulated that Offer
man was not regularly pra chcing
physician.
