Worst at the Tri-State meeting
at Fargo said: When the
gross returns from single
cow (renewing the COW when
ever necessary are saved re-
gularly and kept on interest for
fifty years will amount to more
than $4,000. What young
man will not feel able to sup
port a family and one COW that
he may have an assured COM
petence for himself and wife
during their declining years?'
No other animal works for
man both night and day as the
cow does. She gathers her
food by day land while we
sleep upon the mattress made
from the hair on her tail) she
brings it back to rechew and
then convert into the various
things for our use. The COW
played an important part in
the pioneer development of the
United States as she was the
pioneers mainstay for-"She
has gone with man from Ply
mouth Rock to the setting sun!
It was her sons that turned the
sod in the settlers clearing; it
was her sons that drew the
prairie schooner for the sturdy
pioneers as inch by inch they

the star of empire takes its
way with the old COW grazing
behind and when the days

gave her milk to fill the moth

what we are we do not owe to
mans best friend, the cow?'

essay on Mans Best Friend in
the Animal Kingdom. Mrs.
Palmer won over a field of
several hundred contributors.
The essay in full follows:
Of all the animal friends that
man has the cow is his best
friend. We owe much to her,
for wherever she is home
can well be started, as she is
most generous to supply so
many of our needs. Her hair
keeps the plaster upon our
walls, while the long hair on
her tail is used for filling mat
tresses. Her blood is dried,
ground into powder, then made
into buttons and are used prin-
cipally for mems clothing. The
handles of knives and forks are
made from her horns, besides
paper knives. combs and but
tons. The glue that holds our
furniture together is made
from her hoofs. Among the
various things made out of the
leather from her hide are:
boots, caps, hats, inittens, suits,
furniture, etc. Her bones are
ground to fertilize the soil, and
are also made into buttons and
handles.
For our table she provides
the milk, butter, cheese, cream
cake, beef tea, steaks, dried
beef, corn beef, cottage cheese,
beef stew, the meat for our
Thanksgiving mince pies, last
but not least, her tail is made
into "oxtail'' soup and her

$WuLER IS AcTlHa President
.. w. Wheelon, New Member OF
Board, Hee Assumed Duties
Of His office

The members of the old
Forestery board met on Mon
day evening to close up busi-
ness for their term and on
Tuesday Mr.. S. w. Wheelon,
the new member of the board
was sworn in and another
meeting held at which plans
were made for the future work
of the institution.
NJ. r. Shuler was placed in
charge of the school for the
balance of the school year.
The organization of the new
board was effected with Frank
Peltier as president and DR.. A.
r. MacKay as secretary. The
Bottineau County Bank was
reelected treasurer.
w. J. Alexander of Rolla was
employed as president of the
school for the term beginning
in September. There is no
doubt as to the wisdom of the
choice. Mr.. Alexander is a
very capable and energetic
man, who has had wide exper-
ience with matters educational
and he is possessed of splendid
executive ability. Mr.. Alex
ander came to this state Aug
ust 81, 1888, and has been in
close touch with educational
questions at all times during a
quarter of a century. He was
principal at Drayton and later
superintendent of public in
struction in Cavalier county for
four years. Since 1905 he has
been superintendent of city
schools at Rolla. For six years
he was instructor at the tri-
county summer school at Grand
Forks and for several years has
served in the same capacity at
Minot. He was one of the
early advocates of vocational
education and is responsible
for a great many of the school
laws on our statute books. We
predict bigger and better
things for the School of Fores.

management.

gineers surveying a line through
his farm. He very quietly and
deliberately went out to where
they were and asked them by
what or whose authority they
were surveying on his premises.
The answer not being satisfac-
tory he asked them to let him
see the book containing their
field notes. Upon being handed
the book he looked at it for a
moment and put it in his pocket,
saying as he did so that he
would take care of it for them.

ABOUT SALARIES.

Now that the election is over
and we know who are to be our
officers, it might be we'll enough
to talk some more about the sal
aries Of the cannty off eers
During the campaign few of
the candidates, in their zeal for
the people, announced that
they wanted to save the taxpay-
ers money by accepting less sal
aries than the salaries of the
present officials. Of course none
of us thought they were really
serious about the matter, and
very few of us cared anything
for that method of electioneer-
ing. Every sensible taxpayer of
the county will realize that ev-
cry one of their officers should
have a reasonable salary. In
fact, it is not so much the
amount of the salary that affects
them, but whether the officer is
worth it.
If the Fiscal Court does its
duty it will meet before the first
of the year and fix the salaries
Of all the officers for the four
years to come, and if they will
be wise enough to allow reason
able salaries, and insist that the
officers do their duty, there will
be no reason for complaint. The
county Judge and county attor'
ney ought to have salary suf
ficient to justify them in devot
ing ALL Of their time to theil
official duties, and if they dom
then attend to the business prop
erly there is a way to remov,
them.
There are hundreds of way
by which these officers can, j
they will, save to the taxpayer
many times their salaries by dill
ligently and faithfully looking
after the county's business, an,
we anticipate that they will d
so. The COURIER will hold itsel
free, however, and will devot
considerable time to investiga
ing these matters, and wher
commentator is merited it wi
approve, andif it should be tina
criticism is necessary it wi
fearlessly yet honestly. point Oh

FOR CONGRESS-.

In this issue of the COURIER
our readers will find the an
nouncement of our fellow coun-
lyman, John w. Coffee, as a can
didate for the democratic nomi-
nation for Congress from the
Ninth district. To readers of
this paper an introduction
would be superfuous. John, as
he is Familiarity known, is we'll
known throughout this district
and the mountains of Eastern
Kentucky. He is a recent con-
vert to the ranks of democracy,
having been a republican until
recent years. But being a man
of fine sense and acute discern
ment and realizing that democ-
racy offered the only form Of
relief to the farmer and laborer,
he had the moral courage to de-
nounce the republican party as
the party of the trusts and pred
atory interests and come over to
the party of the great common
people.
Mr.. Coffee is one of the lead
ing lawyers of the mountains,
an orator of brilliant attain
ments, and a man of striking
personal appearance. AS a citi-
zen and a man no better exists.
Honest, fearless, courteous, he
has a hest of friends who will
read his announcement with de-
light. He enters the field witt
the assurance of the support Of
hundreds of admirers and will
make a whirlwind campaign il
the finish.
AS a campaigner Mr.. Coffee
has few equals. Friendlines
+ and goodfellowship exudes from
him as the gum from his nativ'
pine and his friendships stick
, just as tenaciously. AS a racon
teur he has no superior, an,

seemingly inexhaustable, and n
man clasps hands with job

and good disposition.
