Many After Postoffiee.

Bowbells, N. d., Jan. 23.-The post
master scrap in Bowbells started last
week. and at the present time with
three candidates in the field, is pretty
hot. r. a. Grams was the firgt to an
nounce his candidacy and his petition
has been circulated. Then Jerry
Donovan, who bad received very much
announcement from several promf-
nent democrats in the state and also
from local people, also announced his
candidacy, but after thinking the mat
ter over and realizing that his hard
business would be neglected
were he to take the office, he With
drew.
G. A. Kopriva also announced his
ing his petition. He is also receiving
the support of many prominent demo-
Gratis of the state and q majority OF
the local people. It is understood that
Mrs. @. T.. Bickford Is also an aspirant
for the place, and some believe ha.
chances of getting the place are good.
Her husband, who was at one time
state treasurer, is a close personal
friend of Congressman-elect p. ID.
Norton, and had the republicans won
out at the recent election her chances
would be excellent. AS the matter
now stands it is not believed that the
place will be given TO anyone but q
democrat.
Both Kopriva and Grams are
staunch democrats, and have affiliated
with this party for many years. The
result Of this scrap will be watched
with interest by everybody

IN The POLICE COURT
Isaac Blanc Was Filled With Booze
Which Caused Him to Lament
With Great Noise.

Because Isaac Blame, a pilgrim and
stranger In the city, lifted up his
voice in lamentations all yesterday
afternoon and during the night at
divers times he did not find favor in
the eyes of Police Judge Miller this
morning in the police court.
Isaac. not the son Of Jacob, but
another Isaac, was arrested in the
afternoon for being uncomfortably
filled with red-eyed liquor, and as
soon as he was placed in the 'bull-
pen he began to yell at the top OF
his voice greatly 10 the annoyance
Of the gentlemanly desk sergeant and
others about the station as well as
the passers by, and notwithstanding
the fact that Sergeant John did his
best to comfort him it did not pre-
vail. ;
When he was brought out for a
hearing he told the Judge he was not
crying but was laughing and for this
show of levity during a trying moment
and the fact that he had been dis
orderly he will spend four days In
the city prison.
There were two or three others
who had been arrested FOR the same
offense and they were given the usual
sentences.

WEDNESDAY. JAN. q, 1918.
4 A

That is a novel and very clever idea
that has originated with the students
of the A. C. to send out a Life Special
train to make a tour of the state.
The students believe that the work
that is being done at the agricultural
college is MOI fully appreciated by
the people of North Dakota-they are
therefore going to take part of the
A. g. TO the people.
A number of entertaining features
are to be taken along, viz. the A. c..
cadet band, the crack squad of the
a. C. cadets, the Y. M. c. A. quartette,
the college orchestra and the Edwin
Booth Dramatic club. but the main
idea is to give a demonstration Of
some Of the practical and valuable
things that the A. C. teaches.
one car will be filled with exhibits,
showing how the boys are taught
something of blacksmithing, carpen-
try, and other useful trades of which
every farmer should have some
knowledge. The engineering depart
nent will show some of the remark
able things that are taught about
electricity and engineering, In fact
there will be exhibits from all the
various departments of the college.
The student when he first to
the agricultural college, no matter
what preconceived ideas he may have
r,s--I - 4f~ ,rarsal aoFfxyffs~z sz
always surprised and delighted at
what he actually finds. 1t is a great
institution and every student is proud
of it. This is the feeling that has
prompted the train. The students
want the folks back home to get a
realizing sense OF what it is accom-
plishing.
While the entertaining features are
really of a secondary consideration,
they viii add greatly TO the enjoyment
of the trip. both to those who take the
journey and those who are visited.
The A. c, cadet band does not take
a back seat for any musical organiza-
ton in the state-bar o 1t is a
forty piece band, composed of real
musicians, and d~iscourses genuine
music. The quartette and the
orchestra are as good.
The crack squad of the A. G. cadets
is % clever that some time ago it
took it's place on the programme of
one Of the Fargo theatres as a regular
number. and won the instant approval
Of the critical theatre going audience.
The Edwin Booth Dramatic club COM
posed entirely OF A. c. students puts on
. play that goes as smoothly as the
offerings Of many professional com
panies.
The Forum believes that this train
will do the agricultural college a
great deal Of good, because it will
show the people Of the state, just
what is being accomplished here.

OF LENT soon
just Two Weeks for indulgence in
Worldly Pieasures-Fast to Be-
Ssin Wednesday, Feb. 5.

Just two weeks remain for the
people Of Fargo to indulge In
worldly pleasures and the shortest
pre-Lenten season will end with
Shovetide, the day Immediately pre-
ceding Ash Wednesday which nc
cording to an ancient custom in early
church times was given w to con-
fession of sins. During the forGy
days OF fasting devout church COM
municants are expected to refrain
from all unnecessary frivolities until
Easter, which this year viii fall on
March 90.
The Lenten fast and the feast of
Easter come the earliest this year
that they have since 1856. and will
not occur as early again until zoos
Al. D., according to computations that
have been made. The date for Eas-
ter is liked by the Gregorian calen-
dar on the first Sunday after the
full moor appearing upon or next
after March IL. Easter this year
will come III day after the earliest
date it could possibly occur, it is
said, since If the full moon should
appear on March 81, and that date
happened to be Sunday, Easter would
not COME until the next Sunday. Eas-
ter has not fallen on March %, the
earliest possible date, since 1913,
when the tuII moon appeared on sat
urday, March 81, it is said.
BY the Gregorian calendar the full
moon always occurs on the four
teenth of the lunar month, which has
twenEy-eight days. While it is usu-
ally the same as the astronomical
full moon, it Is not necessarily so, 1T
is said. Following out this law, the
latest possible date for Easter to be
observed is April Is, for If the full
moon should appear on March 20,
Easter could not be observed until
the next full noon, appearing April
is, and lie this happened to be Sun
day, Easter would fall n week
later, on April %.

ON THE R o TRACK.

The Woman who are promoting the
~suffragette pageant to be given in
Washington in March should be gently
persuaded TO desist from a scheme
Which cannot but have the effect Of de-
grading a very large number of the
people whom the movement is meant
to help.
II is announced that sweat shop and
Factory women from New York and
baltimore will be placed in the parade
IN order to show how terrible is their
lot.
1t is difficult to see how any good can
come either to spectators or particle
pants from such an arrangement, says
Tho st. Louis Times, and it is easy
enough to see how harm will be done
TO those who should be urged to main
tain their self-respect, even under con-
dftions which are admittedly dificuit.
1T is true that the unfortunate and
the unhappy are made the subjects OF
those arguments which are made most
powerfully by art. The Man With the
Hoe. found a mighty sponsor in the
painter and the poet. But no man with
q hoe was made to feel that it was he
individually. who was held up before
the world as a horrible example.
II ought to be a pretty safe PROPOSE
ton that people can be genuinely
helped only by being urged to appear
to their best acknowledgement to their
worst advantage.
Women who can be induced to pose
for photographs or who can be per-
suaded 10 march in the streets. for the
purpose Of showing how miserable
they are, are apt to be Of the wrong
sort.
It is the individual who makes q
heroic effort to make the best 81
things; who disdains pity or aims Il
the last minute; who still stubbornis
feeds the spark of hope and seIf-re.
apect, that makes the most powerful
and efEecsive plea on behalf of tn,

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

They're telling this story on one Of
the conductors OF the Southwestern:
AS is known there is only a limited
number of trains on this line and they
are kept busy.
The motive power isn't the heaviest
on Jthe line and one day when a big
fellow, who tipped the scales at over

"A Job, doing what?'

heavyweight.
This seemed to raise the ire within
the conductor whose train was late
in pulling out, for he looked at the man
a minute. sized UP his proportions and
then said:
I'VE don't want any brakeman as big
as you, for we have hard work with
our load now without adding 500 or
500 pounds more which would likely
stall us.
