May Form A New County

The proposition of forming new
county out of the territory embraced in
the FIT Berthold reservation presents
many obstacles, but the promoters be-
lieve they will be successful in the end.
1t appears that Mclean, Ward and
Mountrail counties have annexed por
tions of the reservation without con-.
sulting Uncle Sam; when, in fact, the
territory involved belongs to the gov
eminent and the state has no jurisdic-
ton as yet. 1t may necessitate de
cision from the Supreme Court to clarity
matters. Ryder News.

Save While Earning

How many men realize that after a
certain period they are no longer pro-
ducers? If the young man just enter
ing the field of business activity would
ponder on this subject, there would be
less ''down-and-outs" ranging from SO
years upward. The army of unemploy-
ed so prevalent in winter, made mp for
the most part of men past middle age,
can be traced to one fundamental cause.
Primarily the reason is that they failed
to consider the limits of the age of pro-
duction while they were young.
Every mans success depends not on
what he makes but on what he saves.
While no vast fortunes were ever amas
sed simply by laying aside certain
of each weeks salary, that initial saw
ing is the foundation for future afflu-
ence.
The man who says, 81 never had
chance, never looked for one. When
a man finds an opportunity to make
money it usually requires capital. The
man who has to pass up a good propo
sition for the lack of 500 or $500 should
make that one rebuff serve as lesson
to urge him on to save some part of
his salary.
The first s1O0 is the hardest to save.
Once let the average man accumulate
800 and he becomes eager to add to
that amount. He likes to see it grow.
But many of those who begin. saving
for rainy day mistake cloud for rain.
The man who has resolved to save
should let nothing deter him. He
should not mistake desire for necessity.
Business ability comes from expert
ence, hut even the man who has no
business ability can save money IL he
desires. Americans live up to their:
Many Of them live: ahead of !.

Boosting and Being Boosted

Flasher Hustler-The Hustler has the
reputation of being booster-and it
has always been the aim of the publish
er to boost every enterprise be it of q
public or private nature of worthy
character. Boosting is y game, how
lever, that more than one can play at.
81 boost you, ypu boest me- is mot.
70. and we'll ':boost together is an
other good one. The newspaper man
can boost in q very effective way, even
by not knocking when people come to
him and want him to knock. He. can
boost : good deal more by coming out
fiat-footsd- and upholding the good in an
individual or IN institution, and leav-
ing unsaid what he knows to be bad.
fButswhen this is done there is no occa-
Ision for the person or institution which
is boosted to assume that the newspa-
| per has to do it in order to hold it's Job
with the public-as that is serious
mistake.
lnewspaper man sees and hears more
things. good and bad, about individuals
and the way institutions are conduct
ed than any other individual and it is
unfair to assume that it is because he
does not know, that he does not print
|it. It is because he has sense Of
feeling, and last but not least. q love of
peace and harmony in a community.
!. u Il. =
Many things might be printed about
our town that would make spicy read
ing-but why herald such things abroad?
The least said the better. The trouble
lis.-we do not all boost enough and al
most every community has 3 dirty
knocker or two. Two years ago we
lost subscriber because he said we.
boosted too much for our town, but,
bless his soul such . loss never discour-l
I,sgsd us, however,, and we're still found
telling of. Of the good things aroundhere.

Two New Republics

be without a king. The Prince of Den
mark, who assumed the title of King
Haakon when elected to that royal
Office after the separation of Norway
from the Kingdom of Sweden, is not
popular with his Norwegian subjects,
who are, in fact, subjects only in name.
Only mere shadow of power attaches
to his royal Office, and it is reported
that even this shadow is soon to disap-
pear. Hitherto he has been allowed to
name the recipients of the honors and
insignia which are conferred on indi
viduals in Norway, but measure is
pending in the Storthing to deprive him
of this function. and when that is gone
he will have no excuse left for calling
himself king. He has beautiful
home in England near the palace of
Sandringham, so long the home of the
late King Edward, whose daughter he
married, and who, like him, is said to
be weary of the emptiness of her Nor
wegian royalty. She, too, much prefers
to live on her native island, and has
spent much of her time there since she
was crowned Queen of Norway.
That country is, in fact, already
republic. The people rule and they are
likely to get on without king if Haa-
kon renounces the Office. They really
have no need of king. They have
very little money to spend in maintain
ing one. Haakon's allowance for
clothing is said to be only 1,266a year,
and his court is, perhaps, the most in
expensive royal establishment in the
world. No other royal prince in Eu-
rope is likely to appear as aspirant
for throne which is so barren and un-
inviting, and no one need be surprised
if the establishment of a republican
form of government in Norway shall be
one, of the political events of 1918.
In Spain there are many signs that
the movement for the establishment of
a republic will ere long cause Alphonso.
the present king, to remove his royal
to England, the former home
of his queen, for whom her royal po-
sition in Madried appears to have few
attractions. The continuancy of re-
publican government in Portugual has,
had an important effect
in stimulating republican feeling in
Spain. The people of that old country
are showing many signs of waking up
from the lethargy which has kept them
in a backward condition for more than
a hundred years. Industrially, they are
making real progress. Some of the
best automobiles that are made in Eu-
rope come from Spanish factories.
Their institutions of education are
and illiteracy is diminishing.
The advocates of republic are very
and resolute. The recent
Of Canalejas, the ablest
adherent of King Alphonso, is known
to have been the calculated work of re-
publican conspirators. It would not be
a safe prediction to ssy that there
will be royal form of govern
ment in Spain on Christmas day in 1918.
Should Alphonso meet with any serious
accident his place would speedily be-
come vacant, for it is well known that
the republicans of Spain are thoroughly
determined that he shall have no sue
cessor whether his retirement from the
throne come early or late.- Hartford
