Burley Society Comes to an End

hurley society Comes to an End
The Burley Tobacco Society which
formed the 1907 and 1909 tobacco
pools, has practically ceased TO exist
as the Burnley Tobacco Company has
superseded it.
The last act of the society was to
distribute S3i5.052 which had been
reserved in anticipation of heavy
legal expenses. The money is being
distributed by system through
which every member of the pool
ean obtain his money by presenting
his warehouse receipt at bank in
his own county.
The distribution of this sum
sweeps clean the treasury of the So
ciety and closes the pools of 1907
and 1909.
Liquor Men Raise Technically
The ''25 per cent" local option law
passed by the legislature is being
questioned by the liquor interests

lature will not be nullified by pri-
vate interests, especially the liquor
interests.

Mexicans Fight Over rorreon

The hardest fought battle Of the
Mexican Revolution is continuing at
Torreon now for the fifth day. The
rebels under Villa assaulted the city
Of Torreon and met with most stub
born resistance on the part of the
Federal troops. One attacking force
was lured into a position that had
been thoroughly mined and hun
drrds Of them were killed by an ex-
plosion Of these mines. The contest
has been the most bloody of the war,
and has developed an endurance on
the part Of the Mexican soldiers, raw
and undisciplined on both sides, that
awakcns the attention Of experience
ed army officers and eycites their
surprised admiration. Al the pres
ent writing the outcome of the
struggle is uncertain.

Airships and Sea Warfare
The naval estimates submitted to

rine IN modern naval warfare. In

these new instruments which in
many well-informed quarters are
held to number the days Of the
dreadnought as chief factor in naval
defense. The newest submarines
of 1900 tons have an effective strik-

that extensive range is limited only

At Harvard the Harvard team beat

At Princeton the Princeton team

The negative won every time.
Yale men could beat on the negative

Criminals Examined in Labor atory
Chicago is to send its transgres-
sors to the human laboratory in
stead of to Jail. They may require
mental treatment as a substitute for
punishment. Their overt acts may
be the outcroppings of disease in
stead Of deliberate wanton criminal
ity.
The new psychopathic laboratory
first of its sort in the United
States-will be established as an
auxiliary to the Municipal court.
This action results from the study
of criminol0gists in Germany, who
show that a positive connection ex-
lists between physical and mental
deficiency. II is hoped the scienti-
ilc examination of defendants will
enable the judges, when cases come
to trial. to deal with them in a way
calculated to produce the best re-
suits.

WIPING OUT A DEBT.

For the last few weeks the attention
Of the public was directed to an in
dustrious body of church workers COM
posed of some of the prominent men
of this commonwealth to meet a part
of mortgage held by Governor L. B.
, Hanna against the Catholic church.
We need hardly say that a marvellous
success accompanied their efforts. It
was a huge success from start to fin
ish. May we ask what sort of a mag.
netic power Catholic priest exercises
over his congregation when he desires
to accomplish anything? 1t seems to
us he needs only to ask the people to
Cooperate with him and everybody
does his utmost. We have it, Father
Kleidon asked that $4,000 be collected
for the church debt at the present, but
his people not only paid this but con-
tributed far above this amount. Surely
if big things are to be done we may
look for them in the Sanborn Catholic
church.
Our warmest congratulations to
Father Kleiden and his congregation
on their wonderful success.-Sanborn
Enterprise.

girls at the same home home and we
might go on indefinitely, recording in

and as consequence it is expected
that a further great increase in pork
production will be sown.
According to the figures prepared
by Director Cooper twice as many
North Dakota hogs weer sold in South
st. Paul in 1913, as were sold in the
same market in 1912. In the last II
months Of 1913 a total of 133,297
North Dakota raised hogs were plac.
ed on the st. Paul market, During
the same period in 1912 57,O25 hogs
were sold in the same market The
highest record previous to 1918 had
been approximately 10000 hogs in an
entire year.
"These figures" said Director Coop.
er, "show conclusively the progress
which is being made in North Da.
kota in the geenral farming and live
stock idea. They prove that the
North Dakota farmer can produce
pork and nearly three million dol.
lars is snug income to the state from
this source alone.
1T is interesting to note how this
increase in pork production has fol-
lowed Immediately upon the great in.
creases in corn production which
have been marked during the last two
years. Two years ago we began our
boys acre yield corn contest, both
of which have been very successful.

These appalling facts should warn
us that after sickness, colds, over

be promptly and regularly used be-
cause tubercular germs thrive only

The tested and proven value of
Scott's Emulsion is recognized by

medical nourishment assimilates

SCOTS Emulsion is used in tuber-
