EXPECT A BIG CROWD
Committee Asks Children Under IL
Years Not to Attend on Account
of Small Accommodations.

The Old Song concert at the First
Presbyterian church tonight is sure to
draw big crowd and for this reason
the committee in charge asks that only
those over II years of age attend on
account of the small accommodations
which the church affords. The hour
is o'clock and besides the programme
of old and favorite songs, there will be
a little sketch, How to Run a Church,
which will be very Entertaining
This programme is to be given un-
der the auspices of the Mems Church
Betterment association and they
would be very glad if it were possible
to accommodate everyone, but it is ex-
pected that the seating capacity of the
church will be taxed to the limit and
in order to make room for the older
members of the congregation who ap-
prciate this sort of programme, it
has been requested that children un-
der II do not come. -.-

The Hamm building, housing five
saloons and pool hall, was wiped out
of existence last night in one of the
most spectacular fires ever seen in the
city The fire started about $3.50 and
was practically eXtinguished by II
o'clock, after some of the most siren
uOus fire fighting the departments Of
MOOrhead and Fargo have ever expert
enCed.
Considering the handiCaps, a monster
frame structure filled with liquors and
other inf1ammable materials, the great
est credit is due the fire boys for their
successful work in keeping the flames
they originated.
For an hour or more the Dwight NJ.
Baldwin flour mill, directly across the
street, was in the greatest jeopardy,
but streams of water were kept play
ing on it and the building passed
through the ordeal without being
SCOrChed
Five Saloons and Pool Hall Burned.
In the burned building were five
saloons and one pool hall and the
only thing saved was the money in
the several cash tills, which the own
ers had plenty of time to remove. The

Hole to Center Of the Earth,

Popular Mechanics: Many of the
dreams of modern science have come
true, and the world has become ac-
customed to marvels in the way of
scientific accomplishment. But the
most daring dream of all-Sinking a
shaft to the center of the earth-con-
templates a thing so stupendous as to
make all past achievements seem in
significant. This has been proposed in
vague way several times in the last
half century; but Camille Flammarion,
the French scientist and author, has
recently outlined a specific plan for
setting the standing armies of Europe
at work digging such a shaft, the pur-
pose being ito tap the inexhaustible
sources of heat and power stored be-
meath the surface of the earth.
In the present state of engineering
science an attempt to harness these
Herculean forces would result In inn
mediate destruction of the apparatus
used. But no man can say what adj
vances will be made In that science in
a single generation, or what agencies
may be discovered for neutralizing the
effect of the high temperatures which
are believed to exist in the core of the
earth. In fact, it is more than pos
sible that within 200 years, or even
half that time, trip to the center of
the earth may be simply a matter of
time cards and train rules with no
more danger than now exists in sur
face transportation.
Only one means of transportation
would seem to be practicable spiral
railway running downward on a sharp
grade around the edge of the shaft,
supported on cantilevers firmly an
chored in the solid rock of the canyon
like walls. For safe and rapid opera
ton two tracks would be required. one
for doWnbound and the other for up
bound traffic; while the curve Of the
of less than 500 feet. This would
make necessary a shaft 1000 feet In
diameter. #

Today Mr. Dosland has been the
subject of the most cordial congratu-
lations. 1t is generally considered that
he is the right man for the place. At
present Mr.. Dosland is filling his sec
Ond term as county attorney and is
popular with all classes. He has al
ways shown a lively and substantial
interest in education and. being a
Lutheran his particular leanings have
been towards institutions of that de-
nomination. He is a member of the
board of trustees Of Concordia COL
lege and for several years has been
one of the donors supplying gold and
silver medals and a gold and silver
loving cup for the purpose of stimu-
lating efficiency in oratoricals and in
music and literary work. ...
The honor fell to Mr. Dosland
wholly unsolicited and it was not
known to him until late yesterday
that he was one Of the several can
didates who had been recommended
for a membership on what some people
call the "crack board" of the state.
Mr.. Dosland was born in Clinton
county, Iowa, Oct. IA, 1872; came to
Minnesota in 1882, residing in Norman
county for sixteen years and Clay
county for fifteen years. He was edu-
Gated in public schools Of the state
and holds degrees from Valparaiso
university, Minnesota university, and
was for. some time post graduate stu
dent of Yale university He is a law
yer by profession and is admitted to
the bars of North Dakota, Minnesota
and Indiana. He was elected county
attorney in 1906 and was reelected in
1912. Mr.. Dosland was married in
1901 to Miss Anna Lobben of Fargo
and has two children, Goodwin and
Corinne. He is a public spirited man
and a splendid orator.

Why Abuse This Machine?

Atchison Globe: Really the human
body is a miracle of mechanism. No
work of man can compare with it in
accuracy Of its process and the sim
plicity of it's laws. An English scien-
tist has recently told some of the facts
Of this mechanism. For instance, our
ear contains a perfect miniature piano
of about 5000 double fbers or strings
stretched or relaxed in unison with ex-
terror sounds. The longest cord of this
marvellous instrument is One-fifteenth
Of an inch, while the shortest is about
one-five hundredth of an inch. The
5000 strings are distributed through
register of seven octaves, each octave
corresponding to about 400 fibers and
every half tone subdivided again into
800 others. The deepest tone we can
hear has thirty-two vibrations Sec
ond; the highest has 10000. Though
there are only nine perfect tones in
the human voice. there are 17,592,115
415 different sounds.
The eye is hardly less wonderful, be-
ing perfect photographers camera.
The retina is the dry plate on which
are focused all objects by means of the
lens is the shutter. The eyelid is the
drop shuttle. The draping of the optical
darkroom is the only black membrane
in the entire body. The miniature
camera is self-focuSing, self-loading,
and self-developing, and takes mil
lions of pictures every day in colors
and enlarged to life size Charts have
been prepared which go to show that
the eye has 729 distinct expressions
conveying as many distinct shades of
meaning.
Our body takes in an average Of
five and a half pounds of food and
drink each day, which amounts to one
ton of solid and liquid nourishment an
nually, so that in seventy years a man
eats and drinks 1000 times his own
weight.
Every time we breathe the process is
no less wonderful. For each 100 muscles
are employed 40 per cent of the mus
cles of the body being active in wonder
full cooperation in this single act.
Another marvel of the human body
is the self-Tegulation process by which
nature keeps the temperature in health
at 98 degrees. Whether in India, with
the temperature at 130 degrees or in
the arctic regions, where the records
show 120 degrees below the freezing
point, the temperature of the body re-
mains the same, practically steadysnt
9S degrees. despite the extremities to
which it is subjected. OF the total
heat given out by the combustion of
food man can make one-fifth available
in the form of actual work, while sci%
ence has never constructed steam en-
gine that could utilize more than one
ninth of the energy of the fuel burnt
under the boiler. And all this contin-

A Prophet and His Work.

Washington Star: Colonel George
Harvey has again taken the field as a.
prophet. Having predicted the nomin-
alton and election of Woodrow Wilson
to the presidency, he now predicts the
nomination of Senator. Borah as the
republican candidate in 1916,
Colonel Harvey's prophecy in the
case of Mr.. Wilson was extraordinary.
considered in connection with the cir
cumstanceS of it's fulfilment At the
time 1t was made both Colonel Harvey
and Mr.. Wilson were anti -Bryanites,
and from their point of view the dem
ocracy's only hope was in the squelch-
ing of Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Wilson express
ed wish that he might be knocked
into a cooked hat.
Colonel Harvey thought the time ap-
preaching when that could and would
be done. He fancied he saw evidences
! of; the waning Of Organism, and g. de-
termination on the part of the democ-
racy, freed from that influence, to re-
turn to the old, the Cleveland, order.
Under the spell of such conviction,
he took look around and picked Mr..
Wilson, then an educator, for the re-
stored democrary's new leader. A res
ident of the east, and eastern in his
attitude toward Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Will
son, in Colonel Harvey's judgment,
was the man for the coming emergen-
cy.
But, behold! Organism did not wane.
1t Waxed, and grew strong. Some of
it's old opponents went over to it, and
among the number was Woodrow Will
son. He changed his opinion complete
ly about Mr.. Bryan, and hailed him
now as the one man who had for years
seen the country's real needs and
steered democrats on the right course
The rest is recent history. Eighteen
months ago Colonel Harvey and Mr.
Wilson parted company. Six months
later Mr.. Bryan nominated Mr.. Wilson
for president, and today is the premier
of Mr.. Wilson's cabinet, while Colonel
Harvey, unchanged as to Bryanism
continues in private life and in his old
path. ... .>...
The basis of Colonel Harvey's pre-
diction as to Senator Borah is not CIV
en-. The republicans now, as were the
democrats a few years ago, are divid-
ed, and faction feeling Is high. Mr.
Borah Is a progressive republican, and
has just entered on new term in the
senate. He is young, eloquent able
and aggressive. Last year he confined
his activities to his own state, where
the republican factions were at dag
gers drawn.
Maybe Colonel Harvey in time will
go into particulars. AS a prophet he
has a record. and that record shows
a winning, even after all the condi-
tions upon which the prophecy was
based had been completely reversed.

MOTHER is PERPLExED.

Mother says that there are things.
She can never understands;
When she plays or when she sings
Father never gives hand, 'r.'-
But when pretty little Miss
Dorsey MARBLES ragtime stuff ..
Father listens, full of bliss,
And can't seem to get enough.
Father can play golf all day,
Hammering the little ball,
And at night keep feeling gay.
Neither lame nor stiff at all.
But when father has to hoe
In the garden for awhile
All his muscles hurt him so
That he cannot crack a smile
Everytime that mother tries
To take father out to call
He is weary and he sighs.
And can't keep awake at all.
But when there's a bridge game on
At the club or anywhere
Fathers WEAKNESS is gone,
And he gladly hurries there.
Mother still with courage clings
To the thought that life is grand,
But she says there are some things
She can never understand

to pay his share of the $4,000, 900 in
terest on the debt of the United States.
The contrast between the two ma
tlons in financial resources is striking
ly expressed in other terms. Our com
merce up to May 1 was $4,254, 900 600
IN a year. Japan's in 1911 was $495,-

below par. Her ANS are ten points
below those Of New York city. No
more money could be borrowed upon
such terms in case of war. Japan's
credit would be dead.
