The OLD FOLKS REUNION
AND BANQUET AT THE

terest in Snowflake was the Old Folks
reunion and banquet which took place
last Saturday in the Assembly hall of

when the larger proportion of the per-
sons over go years of age living in this
section of the county gathered in a
grand reunion to renew acquaintance
and pass the time away in social inter
course, interspersed by music and liter
ary exercises. While the attendance

expected on account of the threatening

successful and enjoyable affair, and the

royalty entertained by the general COM
mittee which has charge of this most
beautiful annual festival, who were
very ably assisted by the various sub

DENY about 10 o'clock in the forenoon.

About l o'clock three large tables
were spread on the north side Of the
assembly hall, which were very artist
ically arranged and decorated with flow
ers, and laden to overfowing with good
thing to satisfy the inner man, provided
by the good housewives of Snowflake
for their venerable guests, and the old
folks, ably assisted by host of their
younger friends, did ample justice to
the many good things to eat.
After the banquet, the following pro-
gram was rendered by the little folks,
under the able direction of Miss Leah
Smith, much to the delight of all pres

Diagnosing In Baseball.

Whenever you see a pitcher strike
out a batter who doesn't swing at the
ball you can know either that the
pitcher is outguessing the batter
serving him strikes when the batter
expects "balls"-or that the batter has
been instructed to wait all you can"
in order to tire the pitcher. OF course.
If he takes enough time and gets the
pitcher to throw three balls and two
strikes, he may still be fooled on the
last ball and strike out, but in that case
the real fault will lie in the orders CIV
en- him beforehand. When you see a
man swing sturdily at the ball and
miss it he is either o%utguessed by the
pitcher and is swinging at balls be
can't reach or else the pitcher is fool.

Use Of the Left Hand.

OF Just how much value. daily value.
Is your left hand to you aside from It
being a natural appendage Of your left
wrist? It is estimated that hardly one
person out Of ten uses his left hand 8
per cent Of the 100 per cent Of its usa-
bleness from getting up in the morn
ing until going to bed at night. In
this respect the left handed eerson.
although often made the butt Of the
'lefty'' stigma. is far superior to his
right hand neighbor. There is hardly
q left handed man or womanswho can
not use the right hand much more
freely and with stronger grip than the
right handed man or woman can use
the left. So weak is the left hand Of
many men and women that, although
not crippled in any way and perfect
as to shape and size, nevertheless it is
held back and guarded and restricted
as though it were an injured member.
In lifting weights or grasping objects
with the firmness necessary for NOV
ing or shifting the right handed per-
son makes the right hand do three
fourths of the work.-New York Sun.

Will Benefit North Dakota

Will Benefit NORTH
Coincident with the final year
work on the Panama canal there
is a revival Of activity in the
building of waterways in this
country and Canada. When raj
roads were in their infancy can
ais were looked to for carrying
the great share Of the long-dist-
ance commerce but when the net
work of rails began to spread all
over the United States, it seemed
that the canal age had passed
forever.
In recent years however the
transportation business Of the
country has increased sc rapidly
that the railroad facilities are
proving inadequate to handle 1T.
The managers say they are handl
capped by legislation, raises in
wages without a raise in freight
rates, and by added expense IN
every department. However tina
may be, it is a condition that con
fronts, and it's causes are for the
moment irrevelant.
The most pretentious Of new
waterways projects is for the
building of a Canadian canal from
the great lakes to the ocean,
through which ocean freighters
can come and 60. The canal is to
be constructed with money from
the sale Of bonds guaranteed by
the Canadian government, accord
ing to the plans Of it's promoters.
The charters have already been
granted, surveys made, and the
financing company formed.
Its cost will be $125, 100000 or
considerably less than half that
Of the Panama canal. The water
way will be APO miles long, the
work consisting mainly in deep
ening the channals of the Ottawa
Mattawa and French rivers, and
will be known as the Georgian
Bay canal. The depth is to be
twenty-four feet and there will
be twenty-four locks.
While Canada will get the bulk
of the benefit, North Dakota and
other northwestern states will
share equally with the Canadians.
Ocean liners will be able to load
at Duluth and Lake Superior
ports, with through cargos from
European ports and the spring
wheat states will be independent
of the railroads except for the
short haul to Duluth. With the
cheaper water freights which the
canal will bring, no doubt much
of the grain and ore from North
Dakota and Minnesota, intended
for European ports, will be di-
verted from rail lines to New
York and other eastern ports.
Improvements at THE 500 ca
nal are to cost nearly 100000
DOC. The state Of New York is
re~vivifying and improving the
Erie canal at a cost of over $118,.
100000 SO that barges of 1000
tons may be floated. By the pro.
jected improvements the Hudson
river will be a part Of the enlarg
ed canal system Of the state. The
Cape Cod canal, in Massachusett,
is to cost $1O,OOO,OO0.
