prising 90 civil townships, 297 school
townships, q school districts, IL, cleo
ton precincts, 8 towns, 81 cities, and
14S villages. There are also 2 Sec
ondary divisions in the state, each a
village which is not an independent
minor civil division but which forms
a part Of the township in which it is
located. Besides these minor civil d.
visions there are 513 unorganized
townships, IL of which have no popua-
ton reported, and 3 Indian reserva-
tions in the state. These reservations,
though independent of any county or
.~ganization, are returned under the

THAT Jan. as BUNCH.

Nowhere in all creation,
Is there such an aggregation,
AS the Printers, in this Grand Old
state, N. D.
We deserve some condemnation
When we're out for recreation
But it doesn't happen often, don't you
see.
when the largest little city,
with a name so quaint and pretty,
Hands DER the keys to this illustrious
band, {,
We'll make the easements tremble
And officials all assemble
TO extend US the good old welcome
hand.
Since Grand Forks free donation
We've not had a decent ration
And welI-worn belt is growing
nightly slack;
But we'll stretch her till she's busted,
This old strap so worn and rusted.
And the city on the Red won't wish
us back.
Charley Brewer ~7on't be there;
He's down south a shootin' bear.
But the other boys viii rally round
the flag
while Vernon Lowell, Mayor,
Who's a stfcker and a slayer.
will salute our Flickertail editorial
rag.
Wen do everything in reason
And close business up in season
Digesting all the papers that r
read
But you bet you bottom dollar
We may boot and yell and hoAer
But win never cross the bioonin' rag
ing Red.
When next meeting places selected
She'll be boosted and respected
And we'll pack u grips and hit
the pike for home
And explain through every sheet
How Fargo can't be beat
Lauding her, you bet, to heavens
high dome.
Thus it happens twice a year,
In the state we love 3 10 dear,
That the whole-gang assemblies in a
bunch.
We will make the welktn ring
with the songs we love to sing
Won't we go some? Well I've got a
bunch. kindred Tribune.

 they openly gave thanks.
 What a years toll and prlvation meant to them we will not try to pie ture. but at it's end We know they com memorated all in a day of thanks. for the harvest which was theirs. For the earth had brought forth her Increase and they were glad.
 And for that first Thanksgiving day We should now give thanks. It was much a factor in preserving blessings to us of today.
 Are We not content to believe then and, believing, to show in acts that the spirit of our Thanksgiving day should animate the doings Of all our days? We are told. you know, that when all the people praise thee. then shall the earth bring forth her in- crease. From this we learn that the earth brings forth her increase as a re- suit Of the cooperation between man and his Maker. thus we find man prais- ing, before the increase comes. For this increase comes at the end of toll and labor So then work is praise.
 Some decry the modern commemora- ton of Thanksgiving day. saying the spirit and significance. the original in tent, is lost now in frolicsome forget fitness. The day runs to sports and merrymsking.
 Is 1t not better and happier to feel that it is not the spirit. but the ex- precision only that is chsnged-nOt lost And this, like other changes, has come to US as the sum of man s achieving skill in making possible the many avenues for recreation. This, fin itself. Is cause again for thanks giving
 There Is always cause for thanks giving. and chief among the causes is this very one. that we have reached a state in life where we have time to play a little. We grOwn-ups need our playtimes. just as the children need their toys. So when we see hurrying throngs on pleasure bent on our ma tionsl Thanksgiving day is iJ not true we catch the spirit of their whole some happiness? Is this not better to believe than that the day is de graded from it's original intent or ideal?
 We should let the memory of those early fathers strengthen our hearts and characters and help us to be gracious hosts to those pilgrims still who come To them as to those earlier corners this is a land of prom ise and hope. No fairer compliment can a man pay a land than to leSve his home for it. And no fairer com pllment can we as hosts extend than 10 have our house in order to receive our guests. The lures and snares that might cripple and engulf them we should banish. Keeping our standard clean and high, our guests must strive
