HOOK TOBE NAMED
Name Will Be Sent to Senate
Today or Tomorrow.
President Believes That He Will
Be Confirmed.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Presilent Taft
has been sounding the situation with
respect to -he question whether Judge
Hook of Kansas will be confirmed for
the supreme court bench. The president
several days ago LET it be known he
intended to appoint Hook and he has
satisfied himself that the Kansan will
be confirmed.
Without question there is to be
strcng opposition to the confirmation
of Judge Hook but the indications are
that his confirmation cannot be pre-
vented. Inquiry among influential
members of the senate judiciary com
mittee makes it quite clear that un-
less there should be revelations showing
the personal unfitness of Judge Hook
for the place he will get a favorable
report from that committee and if the
committee makes a favorable report
confirming will follow.
Certain attacks have been made in a
personal way against Judge Hook and
it is declared in judiciary circles if
never be allowed to serve on the su-
preme court bench But considering
Judge Hooks case solely from the
standpoint Of his decisions il is assert
ed both by conservatives and progress
ives on the judiciary committee that
his nomination will go through. In the
case of Judge Hook, the protests against
him so far his decisions are con-
cerned relate to his concurrence in
Judge Sanbo-n's decision relative to the
power of the state authorities over in
terstate rates and to his decision knock
ing out the Oklahoma 2-cent fare or
der.
On the other hand some of the strong
est progressive lawyers in the sepate
have beer reading ov-r Hooks decis-
ion in the Standard Oil company case
and his findings in the Hartman mer-
ger case They find in these decisions
much to approve and what Hook said
in those cases will give him not a lit
tie needed support when his name
comes up for confirmation.
Judge H )cks nomination may be
sent to the senate today or tomorrow
Senator Curtis says he is certain OF
his nomination, and his confirmation.

Hours Of Labor.

Lawrence, Mass. Jan. 15.-Disorders
before the gates Of the great textile
mills of Lawrence became so frequent
and menacing today that two compan-
les of militia were called from the ar
mory to assist the police in controlling
the turbulent foreign operatives. The
uproar at the mill gates was 50 great
that seven of the big plants were shut
down. Several shots into the air were
fired by the police and some arrests
were made.
During the raids on the mills
dozen or more operatives were in
jured but none seriously. It is esti-
mated that nearly 600 hands are
idle, half of whom are actually on
strike and the others forced out by the
stopping Of the machinery. The trou-

were repulsed by the police who used
their clubs freely and made several ar
rests.
Raid a Coal Train.
The strikers raided a train OF coal
cars and bombarded the windows Of
one mill with chunks of coal in1uring
six operatives. The police then
charged the mob and fired into the air
but the shots did not scare the strik-
ers and the orders were given to turn
on the water in the mill hose. At this

Why Rent Farms

This is a question every man should
ask himself. You a do much better
working for yourself. There is nothing
in renting on shares in the long run. A
tenants share will just about keep him
and his family-if the family is not too
large. Your ear buy good farms in
crop payments, the share you would
give as rental would be just applied on
the purchase price of a farm and in a
few years you would have a farm of
your own while the tenant would still
be making crop payments on the other
fellows land. Pierce & Ravens have
som very choice North Dakota farms
which they are offering on the crop pay
ment plan and any renter is not awake
to his own interests who does not look
them up and take advantage of one of
these fine opportunities to own a farm
of his own and at regular tenant terms.
This is not hot air but a bona fide business
proposition. Look into it, Mr.. Renter.

thought best to make the occasion a
surprise or the parsons wife, there
fore a company of lady friends to the
number of so or 60 gathered first at
Mrs. Dykes residence AMI from there
proceeded to the Methodist parsonage
in a body.
The ladies had certainly laid their
plans very carefully for it was a sur
prise on the Mistress of the Manse"
by a large majority. The afternoon
was happily spent in social converse,
refreshments were served and a birth
day gift amounting to ten dollars pre-
sented to Mrs. Crisp. After a most
enjoyable time the company dispersed

her natal day.

An Outing

long ago to enjoy an automobile ride to

Mr.. Phelps drove us over in his REQ, an

somewhat ~antiquated, but nevertheless

land of mosquitoes, gold and glacier
water, and having in his possession a
vial containing gold dust PANIED from
his mine on the Powder river, Alaska,
he very naturally longed to see his old
place on the lake and reveal his mineral
samples.

past waving corr fields with farmers
busily engaged on every hand with their
