Support Able Man

The third congressional district is
waking up to the fact that it has an
opportunity to extend its support to a
very able man in P. D. Norton, repub-
lican nominee for national representa-
tive. Mr.. Norton's brilliant and sue
cessful feat in winning out over four
well known republican campaigners at
the primaries may have left few sore
spots but it has demonstrated to the
people of the district that they have a
candidate of somewhat more than u.s.
ual ability. AS both the district and
its nominee are normally republican
and sanely progressive, there seems
little doubt but they will get together
in November, not only to the advant-
age of Mr.. Norton but also to the cred
it to the district. -Tioga, Gazette Oct
14. 1912.

Order Of Health Board

The following communication has
been sent US under Garrison head:
We are running grave danger of
having an epidemic of hydrophobia, and
unless great precautions are taken now,
we are liable to suffer loss of horses
and cattle, and possible of human life.
People who usually bring their dogs
to town, and think they might have
been bitten, should muzzle or tie them
up until all danger is over. Other peo-
pie should watch their dogs very close
ly, and if dogs act in any way different
than usual, should Immediately take
the precaution of killing same or ty-i
ing up for further symptoms. Losses
in other states of hundreds of horses
have occurred from not following this
rule. The length of time from bite
that dogs may get disease is from 15l
to 60 days. The danger is not SO very
great after that.
Attention: No farmer is going to be
allowed to bring his dog to town with
out muzzle on until danger is over.

Farming on a Big Scale

Cakes, N. D., Oct. 19-Peter Gemar,
who had in crop 5S2 acres west of
Oakes, got the following yields: Eight
thousand bushels of wheat from 400
acres; 2,790 bushels of oats from forty
five acres; LOCO bushels Of barley from
twenty acres; $50 bushels OF speltz
from ten acres; 22S bushels Of rye from
twelve acres, and 1850 bushels of corn
from ninety-five acres. MIR. Gemar
handles his crop with an oil pull tractor
and does away with the care and ex-
pense of keeping a large number Of
teams and harness, besides several men
to look after them.
N. j. Nelson. who owns and farms
six quarters of land four miles north
east of this city, had threshing bill
this fall amounting to $1,000. That
sounds pretty big, and when you con-
slider the amount Of money Mr.. Nelson
spent in preparing his farm land, in
seed, and in caring for the crop, it will
readily be seen that it took several
thousand dollars Of an investment. His
wheat averaged from one quarter
twenty-five bushels; one quarter,
twenty seven bushels. He had 1880
bushels of wheat; LIZA bushels of
barley; 1884 bushels of oats, besides a
large acreage of corn and flax.

A Curious Accident

steader south of here had peculiar
accident happen to him last Wednesday.
He had erected the frame work of a
barn, in which were his horses. and was
engaged in putting on siding. When
the siding was at the height of his neck
he had occasion to look over for some
reason and accordingly stuck his head
in to take a squint, when quick as a
fash one of the horses snapped at him
and bit off the end of his nose and part
of the face. 1t sounds funny, but
there is no humor in the circumstance

for life. He had his wound dressed
here and then went on to the Bismarck
hospital where he hoped to have his
Disagreement repaired somewhat by
skin grating. Ryder Journal.

They Were Here

Il No one believed there was so much
talent in the homes of our city until
they saw the Peak Sisters at the opera
house Wednesday evening. The first
half of the program was varied one,
and all was enjoyed but when the Peak
Sisters arrived the fun began. The
sisters were gowned alike in black,
with white aprons and kerchiefs.
Each carried band box, no two Of
which were the same size; in these they
had a musical instrument (comb and It's
sue paper) and lunch. During their
program they sat upon stools that aver
aged in height from tall Office stool to
dolls chair. There was something
original in each number given and all
agreed it was worth more then the
price of admission. The amount in the
Congregational church treasury was
substantially increased by the evenings
entertainment.
The Peak Sisters were: Mesdames C.

To the electors of the Sixth Judicial
District of North Dakota:
Since statehood have had the honor
and privilege to serve as Judge of the
sixth judicial district of North Dakota
Mypetition for nomination for another
term contained the names of large
percentage of the voters of the district
Owing to this fact and many urgent re-
quests and various other reasons l was
led to believe that there was very little
opposition to my reelection.
The result of the primary election,
however, together with certain recent
developments have convinced me that
there is desire in certain parts of then
district for change. therefore de-
sire to withdraw from any further can
vass. In making this statemen l wish
to express my sincere thanks to the
citizens of the district who have elect
ed me as district Judge for six success
i've terms, covering period of nearly
twenty-four years. wish especially
to express my sincere gratitude to the
people of Mclean county who have al
ways supported me and helped to keep
me in high and responsible Offices for
over thirty years.
Yours respectfully.

Have a Hard Pull

Some sections of North Dakota, far
from "where the white lights shine, :"
still attract very fine class of school
teachers. Two girls from the New
Richmond, Wis, High school class of
1912 have gone out towards the very
tip end of the Flickertail state. One
writes home as follows:
Saturday night we stayed at the
hotel in Stanley, Sunday morning we
went to Tagus on the train about
twenty miles, where we hired livery
team and drove at least thirty miles
through the rain and mud to our schools.
Hazel stays in a little shack ten feet
square. had my supper last night in
cook shanty. My room is up in the
rafters and climb up a sort of lad
der to get there. There are two chairs
and milk can for seating purposes in
this ranch. They had to saw a hole in
the house to let my trunk in.
''There were seven children in my
school today. One cannot speak word
of English. I am eleven miles out
from Plaza and four miles from Hazel's
school. I have to walk a half mile to
school, but it is the longest half mile
I ever saw. Tonight when l started
for home l struck out in the wrong
direction and had gone some distance
before discovered the fact"
But the girls are game and if they
have their way few of the little
North Dakota children are going to
travel quite piece along the thirsty
path of culture where the only white
lights shining are the stars and where
the voice of the moving picture is not
heard in the land.
We hear of young ladies being sent
to finishing school," There are nc
better finishing schools in the land for
High School girls in search of useful
work than these little schoolhouses on
the prairies. There is where young
woman learns to cope with unexpected
difficulties and with such things as
homesickness, cold, billiards, cows
and the thousand other things that
come up. And they do it, too. This is
the kind of finishing school that does
not finish father.
Your hands. girls! You are equal to
it! Hurray for American womanhood
when it gets good and busy about real
things. Minneapolis Journal:

Put In a Progressive

H. T. Helgensen, at present men,
ber of Congress at Large from North
Dakota and candidate for congress in
the third district, writes an interesting
letter to the voters of his district which
should be of interest to all. voters in
the state. He saws, IN part:
1.-The Democrats have proved to the
satisfaction of the special interests that
they have nothing to fear and therefore
the common people ought to know they
can hope for no relief from that party.
The Democrats having betrayed their
trust, think it but fair to make
statement that the Congressional Rec
ord everywhere bears out, namely:
That the Progressive Republicans are
the only ones who have consistently
stood by their principles, had the
courage of their convictions and always
voted for the best measure obtainable,
even if they had to vote against their
own party. 1t is to this class of men
that the country must look for relief if
it is to come under our present form of
government.
Under the caucus system. even if all
members were present, lis Democrats
constitute a. majority. The "Solid
South" has 1l2 members, add to these
the 16 "Tammany' members from
New York City and you have more
than enough for control, but you can
easily add enough more members from
eastern districts to make more than
enough for two thirds vote in the
Democratic caucus. Now just consider
the fact that none of these districts,
from business point of view. have
anything in common with the great
Northwest; that they consume what
we produce and are interested in max
ing our products as cheap as possible;
that because Of this, they have not
only refused to repeal Canadian Reci-
procity, but have openly declared that
if given the power. they will put all
our farm products on the free list, and
you can readily see the absurdity of
sending Democrats to Congress from
this section of the country. The Rep
resentatives of the. ''Solid South and
of the congested centers of the East
will always control the Democratic
party, and vote to send Democrat
TO Congress from North Dakota, is a
vote. to put the product of your farm
in free and open competition with all
the world, while everything you have
to buy will be more or less protected.
even under the Democratic so-called
Tariff for Revenue Only" This is
business proposition with you, and l do
not think you are going to vote to re-
duce the value of your farm products
as well as the value of your farms.''
