The election of Wilson and a
Democratic Congress will lift a big
load off the shoulders of every
farmer and laboring man. The tar
if tax averages $500 for each fami-
ly of five each year. You certain
ly should contribute something to
the Democratic campaign fund and
thus be doing something to remove
the burden.

Dost Thou Look Back?

Dost thou look back on what hath
been
AS some divinely gifted man,
Whose life in low estate began
And on a simple village green:
Who breaks his. births invidious bar
And grasps the skirts of happy
chance,
And breasts the plows of circum-
stance,
And grapples with his evil star:
Who makes by force his meritknown
And lives to clutchathe golden key
To mold a mighty States DEGREES
And shape the whisper of the throne;
And moving up from high to higher
Becomes on Fortunes browning
slope
The pillar of a peoples hope,
The center of a worlds desire;
Yet feels. as in a pensive dream,
When all his active powers are
still,
A distant dearness in the hill,
A secret sweetness in the stream;
The limit of his narrower fate,
While yet beside its vocal springs
He played at counsellers and kings
With one that was his earliest mate
Who plows with pain his native lea
And reaps the labor of his hands
Or in the furrow musing stands;
Does my old friend remember me?"
-Tennyson.

Two Sides.

Two boys Went to gather grapes.
One was happy because they found
grapes; the other was unhappy be-
cause the grapes had seeds in them.
Two men, being convalescent,
were asked how they were. One
said, Il am better to-day" the olh-
er said, Il was worse yesterday"
When it rains, one man says,
This will make mud" another,
This will lay the dust"
Two boys examined a bush. One
observed that it had a thorn; the
other that it had a rose
Two children looked through COL
ored glasses. One said, The world
is blue:" the other, 1T is bright"
Two boys having a bee, one got
honey, and the other got stung.
The first called it a honey bee; the
other a singing bee.
Il am glad that l live" says one
man; Il am sorry must die" says
another.
Il am glad" says one, that it is
no worse" Il am sorry" says anoth-
er, that it is no better"
One says, Our evil is mixed with
GOOD" another, Our good is mixed
with evil."-Epworth Herald.

Single Tax.

The rural districts are not taking
the interest they should to insure
the defeat of the amendment pro-
viding for single tax. There seems
to be more talk against and more
effort to defeat it in the little towns
than in the country. True we have
lots to protect, but they are not a
farm and the difference in size
ought to represent the difference in
the interest in the subject.

VALUE OF OZONE IN
 CONSERVING HEALTH
From the EIectrie News.

From the Electric News.
 Did you ever notice how much clearer and sweeter he atmosphere is after a hard thunder shower?
 There are two very good reasons for this: First, the heavy downpour of rain has washed the air quite clean of all dust and smoke particles: second, the great flashes of lightning have charged the air with ozone which is a wonderful purifier and cleansing agent and q powerful oxi- dizlng gas
 Man was not slow 10 note this cleansing effect Of a thunder shower. and quickly devised the ozonator, an electrical device which, by series of discharges, produces ozen in much the same manner as the lightning flash
 A proper supply of fresh air is neces- sary for every room and building where human beings are congregated or have to live. Ordinary yentilating systems can do no more than dilute the foul and vitiated air with fresh. making 1t little better for our use, but there remains considerable amount of the decaying and purifying matter produced in the lungs. bronchial passages and the mouth By the addition of ozone te the fresh incom- Ing air the lnoxlotls contents of the vi- tiated or used air. are destroyed, being converted into ash and water and the ventilation thereby vastly improved
 The action of ozone in destroying or genic substances. such as germs and de cayed animal matter that floats in hot, humid air which has been breathed over and over again is rapid and certain. The average human being requires 346 cubic feet of air daily and the carbonic oxid given off in the same time is 1925 cubic feet. The average amount of air consid- cred necessary for an individual Is 3600 cubic feet per hour; this figure is ap- proximately 250 times the amount actually respired, while less than per cent of the oxygen is taken from a breath by the lungs.
 The real poisons in vitiated afr are mi crobes and organic chemical products which ozone quickly combines with and changes to ash and water. By purifying air with ozone the quantity of new air required is decreased and the cost of ven tilating and heating lowered. Odors are eliminated and the air is thorouhly ster- ized

Marum noticed q peculiar odor when elec- trical discharges wore passed through air or oxygen. He spoke Of this as the smell of electricity" In 1891 Criick- shank, during some of his electrical cx- periments. noted the same smell. It was Schoenbein who first recognized and studied ozone. In lsio hc began his OK periment~. and soon announced the dis coYery of the now gas. and invented the word ozone from the Greek rooi, sig nityiug smell"

dirarY use give flow of about 1000 cubic feet an hour. which is sufficient for a fairly large room The machine consists of three essential parts a motor driven blower small transformer to raise the voltage and the ozone generator proper The device is attached direct to the light ins circuit. Above the small transformer is the ozonizer proper, consisting of Il bank of six or more ozone generating units. Each unit consists of cylindrical glass tube. on the outside of which is a metallic coating. and inside of which IS an aluminium electrode. The latter is built up of shallow perforated aluminium cups mounted on a spindle. The cups are Of such a diameter as to allow q small but definite aid gap between them and the bore O. the glass tube. A violet electrical dis charge takes place between the inside Of the tubes and the aluminium electrodes. This discharge through tfe air in the smal, air gap changes some of the oxy- gen of Ihe air into ozone. The small but powerful centrifugal blower mounted on the top of the case blows air into the ozone chamber through the generating unit. thence through the screen and into the room. The blower insires a flow of air through the tubes and a thorough eX- pllsion of the ozonized air into the room, increasing greatly the effectiveness of the machine.
 Many interesting experiments have been carried out bv engineers for the pur- pose of studying the effect of ozone in purifying and deodorizing air unoer va rious conditions. A small moving picture theatre, 30 by 100 feet. was only venti- lated by a suction blower. and in spite Of this "crowd odors" persisted in the room An ozonator was installed above tine front entrance, and now, even on a hot evening, the air in the theatre is sweet, cool and odorless. The same eN- pertinent was tried In a factory and in a printing shop with equal success. In one store which had suffered from small 6ra which thoroughly smoked the interior, tho ozonier removed every trace of the dlsagreeable smoke from the room and

Ozone acts on the air as bac- teriaeide and powerful deodorize. ozone will find an application in the sterilization and deodorzation of the air in hospitals, apartments, studios. schools. etc, wherever there is likely to be large crowd

YOUNG LADY WHO WAS SEEKING
TO LEARN WHEREABOUTS OF
"JOHk BLACK" WAS BEFRIENO.
ED BY KIND HEARTED PEOPLE
OF THE CAPITAL CITY AND
SENT TO cRlTTENDEN HOME.

Some time ago a young lady applied
to the police officials of the capital
city, asking them to assist her to
find one, John Black, whom she al
legged to have been her seducer She
stated that she had been employed as
a scrub woman in one of the local
hostelries, where she had met young
man who gave the name of Black.
According to her story, she went
out walking with the young man, and
he led her into a doorway where he
accomplished his diabolical purpose.
&c girl did not want to prosecute
Black, but wanted to find him so that
they might be married, and the good
name Of the child protected.
The police could not discover the
young man, as he has not been seen
in the city since the occasion referred
to by the girl.
The girl was in a delicate condition
and charitably inclined residents Of
the city took pity upon her unfortun-
ate predicament, and sent her on No.
Thursday morning to Fargo, where
she will enter the Crittenden Home.
A certain pathos attaches to the
case ,inasmuch as the girl does not
seem to be in possession Of her full
senses.

The court showed considerable to-
