To Boy Scouts, and to Other Boys.

DR.. David Starr Jordan, president OF
Stanford University, has given mes
sage to the Boy Scouts of America. 1t
is brief but it contains many long and
powerful sermons. 1t is good reading
and inspiration for any 10y, whether
or not he is a Boy Scout, and old boys
NAV take parts of it home to them
selves with profit TO them and those
about them. DIR. Jordan says to the
boys:
THE way to do great things is to
work patiently at little ones, doing
each one right, and then using this
skill to go on and do the next one. IL
is just as easy to live successful HE,
to be strong, respected, and loved as
it is to make a failure out of 1t. The
only way is to start right and to start
early. To do your duty in little things
makes it possible to do it in large
things. True success in life is possible
only to men who do their duty. The du-
ties and the ideals Of the Scout, the

examples of alertness, of obedience, OF

is because the organization is head

GAS EXPLOSION

Webster. plumber for C. w. Parker,
was the victim of a most severe ac-
cldent. He was repairing a barrel
tank to hold gasoline. A little gaso-
line had been put in to test it or
leaks and as it still appeared to leak,
the gasoline was taken out and the
tank thoroughly wiped and cleaned
inside again before attempts at re-
pairs, but in some manner gas had
accumulated and when the hot iron
was introduced into the inside again
an explosion took place, burning the
right arm very severely, also the face.
Fortunately it did not burn his eyes.
but it took off his hair. The top Of
the can blew to the ceiling.
Mr.. Webster was in much pain Fri
day but is getting along nicely now
and hopes to be around again in a
few weeks. 1t was a narrow escape
for him. The conclusion blew he

LA INQUIRE NEEDS
some one TO LEAD

LaMoure Echo: There have been
two attempts to hold a meeting in
LaMoure for the purpose Of organizing
a. permanent fair association, but for
some reason few have attended, Or at
least nothing substantial has been ac-
complished. The fair committee APP
pointed to arrange for this years meet
are inclined to lie doWn unless more
interest is taken. Certainly the com-
mittee will be justified in so doing if
there is not more interest shown,
and financial aid arranged for. Ger
tainly the county seat town in s.
rich a county at LaMoure ought to
be able to guarantee sufficient funds
to purchase grounds and erect a per-
manent set. of buildings. Until this
is done, there is little hope of sue
cess on fair lines. 1t is the realty
holders, stock breeders and business
men who will derive the greatest
benefit from a really live county
fair. 1t is possible to make the La
Moure fair a big thing. There is
place for a leader, a hustler, a pusher,
a fair promoter. Who's the man?
The Echo will be pleased to intro
duce him to the people of the county.

SOWN
GRAIN Is UP;
LOOKS HEALTHY

Neville, n. D., May 3.-Seeding is
progressing %splendidly. Early sown
grain is up and looking healthy. How
ever, the cold spell that has prevailed
for several days, together with the
heavy winds, have had a tendency to
retard the rapid growth Of grain. The
wheat crop Is pretty well in the
ground.
There is an indication at this time
that there will not be as much wheat
n other early grain SoWn this spring
as last owing to the fact that there Is
not as much blowing done as usual,
u to the inclement weather last fall
when the blowing season was on. Con-
siderable blowing remains to be done
and chances are the late fields turned
will be utilized for more barley, flax
n other late grains. Prospects 1t
this time are very good. The ground
is In excellent condition. There has
been little rain but there seems to be
plenty moisture to satisfy the farmers.

The plan is to build at once the line
to Mott, some fifty miles, connecting
there with the Chicago, Milwaukee &

L%aughlin and Aberdeen, a direct route
to the twin cities, thirty-ive miles
shorter than the present Northern

Aberdeen, midway between Dickin-

large wholesaling center and will no
doubt lend every aid possible to help
build the Dickinson-MOtt line which
Will enable her to enter this field in
competition with st. Paul and Mime
