Hope Man Burned
In Tragic Manner
WAS FIXING ROOF WHEN THE
soLDERlNG MACHINE SET HIS
CLOTHES ATTIRE,

Hope, N. D., July 26.-With his
body enveloped in flames, John Cas-
sell. the 17-year-old son of promi-
nent banker, endeavored to get help
by jumping from the roof of a house,
where he was working, to the groun /
bc'ow. hut he was burned beyond saw.
ing when assistance reached him. He
died few minutes later.
The young man had been doing
some soldering work on the roof of a
local house, when his clothes caught
fire. He was unable to extinguish the
flames himself and ran to the edge OF
the roof and jumped to the porch, his
body resembled living torch as he
went through the air. He jumped
from the porch to the ground, but
was unable to help himself in any
way after striking the ground. When
assistance arrived, he was too far
gone to do anything for. IVA
The Cassells are we'll known
throughout this vicinity and this at
ternoon's tragedy came as an awful
shock to the residents of the city.

PockETsook WAS
BURIED THREE YEARS.

\ The treasury department at Wash.
ington has this week received q peck.
etbook which has been buried in the
ground on the Nokken farm north OF
town, for the past three years. While
blowing on this farm in 1909, Fred J.
White lost q pocketbook containing
about SIS in bills. Last week r. E.
Lawson unearthed the pocketbook
while cultivating potatoes, but the
bills were so badly decayed that the
serial numbers could not be made out
and the whole pocketbook was sent to
the treasury department for inspec'
ton. The bills will. without doubt,
be redeemed. Litchville Bulletin.

Fargo May Lose
It's Militia
Col. FRAME WILL EcoMM END
CO. B BE MUSTERED OUT
a5. s16 MEN At iENcAMPMENT.

Fargo, N. D., July 26. Fargo may
lose its militia company. Colonel
frame was so disgusted with the
small showing at the state encamp-
ment at Devils Lake he announced he
would recommend that Co. 3 be mus
tered cut. IS,
II this is done Grand Forks may
land. Some years ago Grand Forks
was as sleepy as Fargo at present,
and permitted the company to be
mustered out. Ever since the citizens
have regretted their action and have
endeavored to secure another repre-
sentation in the state regiment. 1t IS
understood they have full company
signed up and the citizens will turn
over the armory provided a company
can be secured. s@'. '-a2 sEA-'.'. d.
There were only sixteen men Of
the fifty-tour enrolled at the state en-.
campment. Fargo had the smallest
company and the showing was pit
able. The reason given is that the
employers Of the members would not
give the boys permission to attend.
The excuse given was that the en-
campment came Just before the state
fair and with the rush of business it
would be impossible to let the men
of. The employers claim that 1t is
not a lack of patriotism ON their part,
but a conflict OF dates. The charge
has been made that Fargo Is unpatri-
otto, not only because of the refusal of
many employers to permit their men
to attend encampment but doubly so
for the failure of this city to. have an
armory. Fargo is the only city in the
state, having a militia company, that
has no armory. =
The members Of Co. B are a clean
lot of bright young fellows and they
have endeavored to drill for years in
a small hall. With an armory for de-
cent quarters there would be a much
more enthusiastic interest shown and
more boys would be anxious to join.
+ 1t doesn't look like Fargo, the larg-
est city in the state, can AFFORD to be
without militia company.

THE UNMARRIED WOMEN.

Was DR.. Mcintyre in his splendid
address on Button Up People" fair to
the unmarried woman? Does she be-
long to the class of people who are
without the spirit of sacrifice, and
are not touched by the infirmities of
the needy? We do not believe she is.
OF the seven to eight million working
women, there is no question but that
the larger part are unmarried and it
is estimated that over Is per cent are
supporting others besides themselves.
This means sacrifice, and more of it.,
than is required by the father and
mother who support their own chill
dren; because the children are theirs
they are responsible for their being,
and they get the praise from society
and the commonwealth for being con-
tributors to the general veal and saw
ing the nation from race suicide" Not
so with the unmarried woman who Of
ten gives her all to support aged par
ents and younger children, and more
often to spare the feelings of the peo-
pie supported, the world knows moth
ing about it, and the women is DUBBED
as a stingy old maid who spends her
money, nobody knows how. She must
be stingy for she neither dresses we'll
nor gives much, as far as outsiders
can see. If she is now giving to rela-
tives she is often helping young peo-
pie to realize their ideals in thous-
and ways that she doesn't tell the
world about. It is an acknowledged
fact that women are greater philan-
| thropists than men. DR.. Allen of the
New York Bureau of Research says
'sWhat uplift work do you know that
| would be worth describing in annual
reports of women stopped working
and giving" Did he mean married
women alone? We know he did not,
for we have Jane Adams and too
many like her, who are sacrificing
life's best for humanity.
Why women are unmarried, is an
interesting economic problem. Indus
tries have largely gone out OF the
home. The bride is not the economic
necessity that she was 100 years ago
Men must spend more years in thorc
careful preparation before they car
enter business, and living has increas
ed from Is to so per cent. All these
i things nulitate against early mar
! riages. presume women are just as
winsome and men are just as easy tc
catch as in the old days, and late mar
i riages, or none at all, are not because
i men willed it so, or because women
willed it so, consequently neither are
i to blame. .,
What We are going to do about it re
mains to be seen, but probably not by
/ this generation. OF one thing we are
4 quite certain and. that is, that women
are not going to sit around and wait
with the mournful cry Of "anybody
Lord or ''How long Oh, how long?'
They are preparing themselves fol
economic independence, II marriage
comes they'll be no worse off, If II
does not they will not be a drug on so
ciety.
Men on their part are heroic enough
to risk heavy biscuit, but, for the
most part, they are not cowardly
enough to ask a woman to live on
starvation salary, If that is the best
they have to offer, in these days Of
high cost Of living.

5his encampment has been a fea-
ture OF the state fair. Like some OF
the free shows on the grounds, it has
teen entirely new and novel; and
has attracted as much attention as
any single exhibit on the grounds. At
all hours Of the day and night the
camp has been alive with visitors,
many coming to Fargo to see this
one department of the fair alone.
Unusual interest has been taken in
the outdoor school by the boys OF
Eddy, Foster and Benson counties.
Eddy county has the biggest delega-
ton at the fair, six boys representing
that county. w. H. Burns, expert for
the Better Farming association in
