TALK on THRIFT.

Pride is oftentimes the parent of
extravaganza. Men and women
shrink from appearing less prosper
Gus than their neighbors. Not only
will they spend for their backs what
ought to have gone into their
stomachs, but they will too readily
make somebody else foot the bill
that is. they will buy what they can
not pay for thus ROBBING some

It is probably true that the In
creasing use OF automobiles lessons
the savings of the nation. Not only
because amounts which otherwise
were set aside as savings are now be-
Ing ased in buying and maintaining
automobiles, but also because many

had recently had four different de-
positors withdraw their money to
purchase automobiles, while another
informed me that he had three such
cases recently, and one party borrow

ing feature of the situation lies in
the fact that the automobile is

Nebraska heads the list of states in
the number OF automobiles per capita

Eighty per cen OF these are owned
by farmers.
With some people the real question
is, can they afford not to have the
car. Many a farmer spends three or
four hours twice a week driving to
town. He could save the cost of an
automobile In the value of his time.
The lack Of the most ordinary me-

his great contributions to human
progress had been conceived and
many of them made.

Mr.. Edison was in the plant when
the fire started about $50 o'clock.
He came calmly from his laboratory,
where he had been at work, and took
charge of the first operations of the
factory's private fire fighting force.
But his wife, running from the house
a few hundred yards away and fol-
lowed by her sons, Thomas, Jr., and
Charles, found the master almost a
maniac.
1t was she who sped into the Office
and carried out by the armful the
precious records. the invaluable notes
of future inventions that Mr.. Edison
had made. She alone knew where his

REVIVAL SERVICES LAST EVE
MING nv REV. Mr.. PETERSON
PREPARATORY PRAYER MEET
fNGS PROVE HELPFUL.

Preceding the principal evening
service at the First Baptist church
last evening a very helpful prepare
tory prayer meeting was held IN the
lecture room of the church.
DR.. Walters and Rev. Mr.. peterson
greatly desire to have this prelimln-
airy service largely. attended, and
that the church members show 10y
atty by attending this service, even
though it may hurry q little those
| who have to work till six o'clock.
Since the campaign began many
pastors from other cities and churches
have assisted in the opening ser
vices. The male quartet has given
some excellent music and the choir
is growing in number each evening.
Rev. Frank Rines has created great
interest with his chalk talks, and Fri
day after school he speaks especial"
)y to young people.
The choir of thirty voices last eve
ming sang Master the Tempest Is
Raging" with fine expression, and
many minds turned back to the great
tabernacle choir during the Sunday
revival.
Rev. A. e. Peterson was the speaker
last evening and took his text from
Eph. 3: s. Unto me, who am less
than the least of all saints, is this
grace given, that I should preach
among the gentiles the unsearchahle
riches of Christ" He showed that the
truly converted Christian will be i'm

he said, chat there is absolutely no

He I'ities as a father pities his weak
child. Parents, look into the face of
your child when you go home tonight;
it may be in the flush Of health; but
what if it should be sick? Like as a
father pitieth his child, SO the Father
pitieth them that fear him.
us there any valid reason why a
child should not grow up always he
lieving in Christ as a Savior? Some
men and women are never able to
draw the line as to the state of their

thing to keep a criminal from going
back into sin, but a mightier thing to
keep a soul from even wandering
away from God.
How poor we often are when we
might be rich!. Is there one here to-
night no is looking at his own pover-
ty, who wants these riches of grace
grace to live, to walk. and to die"
In the after-meeting, led by Mr..
Rines. several signifed their desire to
become christians. The closing prayer
was given by DR.. Walters, the congre-
CATION singing the conservation hymn.

so MUCH INTEREST IN MAT
TER OF GAME PRESERVATION,
IT WILL HOLD SEVERAL MEET
lNGS IN STATE.

The North Dakota Game board will
hold its April and May meetings on

interest shown by the sportsmen of

Devils Lake and Minot and in May in
three towns along the main line of
the Northern Pacific, probably at Val

The sportsmen want changes in the

law which will be submitted at the
next session of the legislature as a
re-draft of the present measure which
has been amended and re-amended to
such an extent it is somewhat confus-

Portrait of an American Patriot

San Francisco Bulletin: He joined
eagerly in the attempt to impose Q
reactionary candidate upon the demo-
:cratic convention at Baltimore. He
lost that fight because the personality
OF William J. Bryan more than coun-
terbalanced his puny self and all his
associates.
He has been laboring patiently to
bring on a war with Mexico which
could result in no good to either coun-
try. but which would certainly cause
the splitting of thousands of lives and
millions of dollars.
He has clustered over a policy OF
narrow jingoism and false patriotism
such as has been in all times the best
weapon of reaction. "
He has pretended to be the friend
Of workingmen and has stood hand in
glove with the bitterest enemies OF
unionism.
He has represented himself the
reaction has been limited only by the
limits of his secret and public infiu-
ence.
Defeated in his hope of witnessing
the reactionary elements Of the demo
cratic party again in power, he has
lightly thrown off that allegiance and
now f~atuously appeals in republicans
and progressives to forget their ocean
wide differences in a foolish foreign
policy whose only Importance to the
people of the nation is it's liability to
involve them IN a criminal war.
He is but a Wisp Of straw i'm the
spokes of the wheels of progress.
