 ENTERTA|NS On Eve of His Departure for Ills old Home on a VIsIt After
 Many Years Absence

John Greenwald, an Old-iimer who is on his way to visit his old home in Russia, gave his many friends smoker last evening in Moose hall, which was well at tended by all the old sourdOughs and a few of the chechacO ele- ment. Of course the boys were all there, for they wished to bid their Old-time trail companion a happy and pleasant mush over the wet trail he has to follow. After an introductory speech by Arthur Lang, Ed. Hunt danced a buck and wing which was well received. The host sang folklore songs in his native tongue, followed by bout between Al. Bowling and Charley Bush, which created much interest. A. H. Pinkus rendered a number of solos on the piano, after which the company passed a pleasant evening at cards. Re- treatments and smoking material were always at hand. The even ing's entertainment wound up with many God speeds to the host of the evening.

In view of the current discus sion of literacy in connection with immigration, it is interesting to note that the latest bulletin is- sued by the Federal Bureau of Education places the United States third in the list of nations in re- spect to reading and writing. Germany is put first and Great Britain second, but the returns from these countries are by no means so comprehensive as arc those compiled in this country.
 The German and British sta tistics deal only with adults, tho first covering army recruits alone, and the second the persons on record at the marriage registries, while the American figures include every one over ten years of age. So that, while the German ra-

FOLKS PAST FIFTY
MUST use CASCARE1S
What glasses are to weak eyes, Gas.
carets are to weak boweIs-a 10.
cent box will truly amaze you.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The con.
dition is perfectly natural. It is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are mus
ces.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This Is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age Is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity, But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be con.
stantly used with out harm. The
only such tonic is Cascarets and they
cost only 10 cents per box at any
drug store. They work while you
sleep.

Runaway Boy Returned to Dale, En-

William Williams, an Assyrian boy
IS years Of age, who ran away from
his home at Dale, N. D. resisted his
uncle who desired to take him back
to Emmons county.
The boy has been staying at the
Robidou home on the south side and
when requested to 60 home with his
uncle, started to run. He was caught.
and put on board No. 8 and started
on the first lap Of his journey home.
When questioned as to his reasons
for running away from home he as
serted that his parents made him go
out and peddle from home to home
and II he did not do 1t, they would
geat and punish him. He also stated
he could not carry the heavy loads
that his people wanted him to take
into the country.
Those who are familiar with the
conditions state it is case for the
humane society, and that the matter
will probably be referred to them.

PUBLIC Being WEANED
FROM SUPERS1ITIONS
INTERESTING oeSERvANCEs OF
GROUND HOG DAY IN PAST
YEARS.
Records Of Weather Bureau show
Nothing on Which to Base concIu-
sion Of Prophets

Gradually the public is becoming
more and more weaned away from
the traditions and lore of our fore
fathers. This Is particularly true as
regards the forecasting Of the wealth.
er. In olden times much faith was
placed in established proverbs, and
often times those proverbs were orig
inally based upon conditions that to
a certain extent justified them. The
law Of averages applies as much to
weather conditions as to any thing
else. Whenever exceptionally fine
weather prevails at season of the
year when cold weather is to be ex.
pected we speak Of those days as
being weather breeders. In order
to verify the law Of averages one ex.
IRENE condition Is often followed by
another Of opposite kind. Among the
proverbs relative to February I'd, or
Candlemas or Groundhoy day, are the
following:
II Candlemas Day be fine and clear
Corn and fruits will then be dear.
If Candlemas Day be fair and bribht
Winter will have another flight.
But If Candlemas Day bring clouds
and rain
Winter Is gone and won't come again
AS far as the sun may shine on Can
dlemas Day
The snow may blow on the first of
May.
Aside from these superstitions in
verse, are many in prose. The sum
and substance OF them all were based
on the belief that on February I'd the
bear. badger, and woodchuck come
out of the winter nests to see his
shadow at noon; II he does not see
his shadow he remains out; but if
he does he goes back and remains
there for six weeks, for cold weather
will continue for that length Of time.
The records of the Weather Blu.
reau show that there is absolutely
nothing on which to base these sup
erstitions, other than that mentioned
in the first paragraph Of this article.
