his right to speak as his seat was

Root held that he had no right

Not any, comes the answer from
the big auto racers. They are
going over the course day by day,
finding fault here, having more
attention given there, and when
the races start, they will know
that the track is in good condi-
ton, as good as new one of the
size could be made. They are
the men who are taking their
lives in their hands, or machines,
to thunder round the five mile
course at better than rs miles an
hour, an dthey are taking no
chances.
Earl Cooper's "baby" SO horse

this world into the next in less

On Southern
Representation
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

CHICAGO, June %. - The
rules committee split on South
ern representation, the majority
standing for the old plan, the
progressives demanding repre-
sentation according to actual
votes cast. The progressives aiso
refused to stand for the plan of
making up the roll of the con-
vention under the present plan
and declared that the action OF
the national committee should be
only advisory and that no dele
gate contested should be permit
ted to vote until his contest had
been disposed OF.
The minority was led by c. III.
Coleman of Pennsylvania.
The majority cleared up the
question of when the term of the
national committeeman should
begin by providing that it should
start 10 days after the regular
national convention.

lishments, lumber yards, drug stores,
etc., and hotel at which you can get
meal good enough for anybody.
The town has a first class school
building, good churches. wide, clean
streets, and altogether wears an air of
prosperity and alertness hardly to be
expected in any town of its size.
A fine farming country surrounds
Brocket and the farmers with whom we
talked reported crops as the best in a
number of years.
Brocket is booming and its wide.
awake citizens and business men are
fully alive to the fact that it is one
of the best of the smaller towns of the

FORKS AVIATOR THRILLS
BIG CROWD AT BRINsMADE
WITH SENSATIONAL ACT.

Fred HARM, aviator for the Ken
worthy Aeroplane Exhibition Co., Of
Grand Forks, who will fly in this city,
performed feat at Brinsmade last
week which caused big sensation in
the immense crowd that thronged that
city on Gopher day. Shortly before
the Grand Forks airman left the
ground, Banker Ose of Brinsmade help
ed clear the field Of the crowd so he
would have a clear straightaway to
rise from. Then Mr.. Ose jumped into
his auto and started to get into the
clear himself and hit the aerlon Of the
aeroplane while proceeding into clear.
The aerlon is wing, Placed between
the two wings of the machine and is
used for balancing purposes.
For a time it looked as though the
fight would be delayed but Harlm,
who is an experienced balloon jumper,
ex-auto and motorcycle racer and has
plenty Of nerve, decided to make his
fight despite the big handicap and
sailed into the air. After going about
a mile the aerlon snapped clear from
the machine and was knocked many
feet by the propeller, whirling at a
rate Of 1,4o0 revolutions minute.
Harlm intended after this happened to
land and seeing clear spot about a
mile away, started in that direction.
On arriving at the clearance, however,
he was floating through space in good
shape and decided to continue the
fight. He proceed for a distance Of
three miles and highballed a big ex-
ira gang working on the railroad, and
was given quite an ovation. by the for
eigners, many of whom had never seen
an aeroplane before. Then the Flick
ertail birdman circled, came back to
the Brinsmade grounds and landed
within twenty feet Of where he started
from, after completing distance of
ten miles at an average height of 600
feet.
HARM will undoubtedly make good
as guider Of the Kenworthy company
machine. He has plenty Of nerve, cool
headed in the air, and besides being
well versed in the flying game, is an
expert mechanic and knows his engine,
which is one Of the biggest features of
awaiting.
The company has number of dates
already closed and many more pending.
The success Of Harlm's flight at Brins-
made has shown North Dakotans that
he is in the game to make good, bar
ring the inevitable accidents which be-.
fall the best aviators.

As the seasons come and so, and the
people depart from the circus tent,
they may be heard to give an express
sio to their amazement by saying:
"Well, what won't they do next?"
The question is invariably answered
when the Gollmar Brothers shows come
the next time.
The many features with the GollEar
Brothers circus this year are creating
great attention, from the fact that
there are so many new and truly Won
derful acts offered. Among the CO.
terie are the Moro family, acrobats ex-
traordinary; the startling Bowman
troupe; the Riding Rudley's, the Won
derful Marie Marvello; Flora Baldwin
and a score Of other premier acts, to-
gether with hundreds Of arenic per-
formers.
The Gollmar Brothers circus which
comes to Devils Lake July 4, is a
combination Of the most popular shows
whic htoured the country heretofore.
These shows are now recognized as cir
cuses of the BEST class anu Of the
greateh kind. The union of these
shows includes about all there is in
the amusement world which is really
worth while.
From the opening pageant to the
Hippodrome races the acts in these
combined shows are of the very best
class obtainable in Europe and Amer
lea. The Moro family is marvellous

this country in many seasons, they
having been abroad. The LaRue
troupe have never been seen in this
country before. The Billy Wood bri.

the fun loving public, but have many
really funny stunts which are actu-
ally ludicrous and Lead all clown

MERRY GAMES TO PLAY ON A
SAFE AND SANE, JULY FOURTH

With the abolishing Of the old and
noisy frecracers on Independence day
there will be lots of little folks athrill
with the spirit of the holiday who will
be eager for games to fill in the time
There are many, however, which may
be played one Of the most amusing
being the t'aag going to Jerusalem. !"
Any number Of youngsters may
play and flags should be stuck in the
ground at intervals, one less flag than
the number Of players being required.
The youngsters do a merry walk
about the flags and when the starters
hands are clapped each grasps a flag.
The child who gets no flag is Of course
out.
Liberty pole is fun too, a dance be-
ing done about tall tree, to which
red, white and blue ribbons are at
tached, the children singing patriotic
songs as they dance.
After dark, when you are waiting
for the friends, night tag is fun for
the kiddies.
All the children but one, who is
"it," are provided with lanterns. The
lanterns may be small, but should be
strong and the kind that burn oil,
not paper ones with tallow candles,
which would be dangerous.
The person who is ssit'' tries to
catch one Of the others, and, when
successful, takes the lantern from the
person tagged, who then becomes
"it.''
