The eagerness with which republicans
grasp at the scheme of a national con-
vention next year to iron out" their
differences with the progressives is al
most pathetic. The hope is that by
revising the rules so as to cut down the
rotten borough delegations in conyen-
tionS and insure more honest registra-
ton of the party while in future the
Ratchet will be buried and republicans
and progressives will kiss and make up.
1t Is certainly an optimistic, not to say
Utopian, idea, but it overlooks the vital
differences of opinion between the two
factions, which cover vastly more than
mere party rules. Colonel Roosevelt
has announced the condition upon
which be will subscribe to a reunion,
which, briefly, is unconditional surren-
der of republicanism to the progressive
propaganda. When oil and water mix
and the lion and the lamb lie down to.
gether without the lamb being inside of
the lion, we may reasonably look to see
the Rooseveltians and Taftites again
holding hands.

North Dakota may not have been in
the so.called "banana belt" but surely
no one could ask for better weather
than this state has been having this
winter. Other parts of the country
have suffered from floods, ,ornadoes,
snow blockades, but North Dakota has
had ideal weather. AS late as the tenth
of December all parts of the state re-
port high temperatures. At Grand
Forks the city parks are in use con-
stantly, the golf courses being especi-
ally popular, a match contest being
played by interested contestants in a
special winter tournaments. North
Dakota is the most satisfactory state
from the standpoint of climate that can
be found anywhere, yet strange as it
may seem to residents of this state the
climate stands, in the mind of the
residents of the states farther south and
east, as our greatest drawback. Publ
city will correct this false impression of
our state and doubtless before a great
while our climate will be one of our
greatest assets instead of a hindrance to
our growth.

Ideal Length For Sermon.

What is the ideal length for a SER
mon? The question is raised by Dean
Hole in his Memories" BY way of
illustration. he tells Il story Of a sher-
ifs chaplain who had once asked a
judge what was the proper length Of a
sermon. well. twenty minutes" was
the answer. with a leaning to the
side of mercy" That is good advice
and. by the way, it is advice which
Queen Victoria would have heartily
approved. In 1867 the queen present
ed. a pulpit glass to the Chapel Royal,
eighteen minutes. There was no mis-
taking the hint. If you wanted to
please the queen you stopped preach
ing at eighteen minutes.

$4,000 VOICES
And Many Are The Voices of Lang

Thirty thousand voices-What a grand
chorus! And that's the number of
American men and women who are
publicly praislng Doan's Kidney Pills
for relief from backache, kidney and
bladder ills. They say it to friends.
They tell it to home papers. Langdon
people are in this chorus. Here's a
Langdon case
Mrs. John Crawford, Langdol, N. D.,
says: "Three years ago I had kidney
trouble and a lame back. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cured me. I haven't had any
peed of a kidney remedy since. The
endorsement I gave Doan's Kidney Pills
some years ago, was correct"
Mrs, Crawford is only one of many
Langdon people who have greatfully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ask for a kidney remedy
ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills,

Reports received from all over the
county indicate that farmers generally
will SOW an acreage to Marquis wheat,
a variety which has been demonstrated
by the better farming association as pos
sess ng a larger yield and maturing ear
her than any other known northern
variety of spring hard wheat. There is
not a railroad town in Cavalier county
where one or more car loads of Marquis
wheat has not been shipped in and sold
to farmers for seed, with the result that
the wheat harvest of two or three years
hence will be largely of that variety.

The past week has again brought
Usher L. Burdick, one of this county's
ex-residents again prominently into the
lime light. Since removing from Munich
som years ago Mr.. Burdick has been
practiclng law at Williston, and in the
election OF 1912 was elected states at
torney Of Williston county. Last week
in his official capacity he prosecuted
and secured the conviction of a man
charged with the murder of a family at
Ray, The conviction SO incensed Gull
b%ertson, the accused, that but for watch
fulness of the sheriff, he would have
killed Attorney Burdick. On the last
day of the trial when searched before
entering the court room, a knife was
taken from him, with which he avowed
he intended to kill the prosecuting
attorney. He was given IA life sentence
much to the dissatisfaction Of the people
Of Williston. The defense was insanity
and States Attorney Burdick is com.
%plimented all over the state for the able
manner in which he prosecuted the
case.

Removal of the Tonsils.

The operation of removal Of the
tonsils is u much more serious one
than it is popularity considered and
should certainly not be entered upon
lightly, but ~discreetly, advisedly and
soberly. Tonsils should not be re-
moved for trivial symptoms. Ton
silotomy is not %justifable simply be-
cause the tonsils protrude in front of
the pillars. or because they look ragged
or for occasional sore throat, or be-
cause they contain plugs. or because
the patient is under ether for adenoids.
or for any remote symptoms not of a
serious nature. or to protect the child
from indefinite infection, or for an oc-
casional attack Of simple acute ton.

What do school prizes or Phi Beta
Kappa keys amount to in comparison
with symbol bestowed uron an ll-year-
old North Dakota lad for breaking the
record for the number of bushels of corn
raised upon a single acre? One hundred
and six bushels is his proud achieve
ment. aud the suitable recognition of it
is the sum of SITS in gold. This must
be at least the equivalent in "%thought-
uni ts'' of translating a hundred lines Of
the laid, or solving ten 'originals'' in
geometry, in an hour. The glory of the
new learning is that besides the mental
exercise one has a hundred and six
bushels corn. One car imagine the
~precocious boy listening to the boasts of
his elders as they recite the ponderous
titles OF their Phi. D. thesis, and then
saying, simply, as he points to his pile

Seventy-tve per cent, expert say, of
the seed potatoes used in the south are
annually shipped out of Northwestern
Minnesota. This district and large
portions of North Dakota are especially
adapted because of soil and climate
conditions to be the premier seed potato
section of the whole country and many
growers who began with little or moth
ing ten or fifteen years ago today are
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
Northwestern seed is shipped to Lousi-
potato sections. According to statistics
completed by the Minnesota Expert
ment station at Moorehead, Minnesota,
the annual shipment of seed potatoes
totals more than 100000 bushels.
Potatoes annually bring fancy prices fo1
seed purposes. Northwestern growers
get anywhere from Is cents to 2 100 a
bushel. This year in spite of an enor-
nous yield, prices are high and southern
planters are complaining because they
are asked to pay from Sl.25 to S1.35 q
bushel when the growers in Minnesota
are only getting so to IS cents a bushel.
The varieties chiefly grown in the
Northwest, according to Grand Forks
