A Good Boy Scout Story.

written around the boy scout move
ment which has the official approval
of the national headquarters of the

the field Of Juvenile fiction revealed to
the boy scout officers that the scouts
were being exploited by publishers

selves and their boys a careful exam

Take Plenty Of Time TO Eat.

There Is a saying that rapid eating

ed the habit of eating too rapidly you
are most likely suffering from indiges-

eventually in serious illness unless
corrected. Digestion begins in the
mouth. Food should be thoroughly
masticated and insalivated. Then when

The 1914 summer session will begin

demand for announcements of the

"soME COFFEE."

During the year 1918 the United
Estates imported S52,529,49S pounds of
kcoffee, having an entry value of nearly
sos, O00, 900.
To the average reader this may not
kappear very startling, but a little cal
tculation will bring to mind the signii-
kcance of these figures.

A standard gallon contains 231 cubic

seven inches in diameter and six inch

would therefore fill a cylinder seven

All of which is mentioned merely to

Over two-thirds of the coffee CON

from Brazil. American imports from
that country in 1913 amounted tc
something over 625, 900, 90 pounds, hav.

ELECTION RESULTS.

The Mandan Pioneer sizes up the
situation in views of the returns as
follows:
incomplete returns from over the
state indicate that Governor Hanna
will have a safe plurality over Burdick,
his nearest competitor.
The large vote received by Wishek
in the western part of the state cut
into Hanna's vote tremendously, but
was predicted, where this occurred the
voters in large numbers forgot that
IBurdick was running and the progress
sive candidate will go out of the slope
country with a very small vote. Hanna
is reported to have lost Burleigt
county. but he will have several hun
dred majority over BurdiCk, and Han,
mas majority over Burdick in Morton
! county will likely be nearly 1000.
1T is clearly evident that the Wish,
elk vote drew from Hanna, and if he
had been out of the running Hanna's
majority would have been in The
neighborhood of 10000.
ut will be some little time before
! complete returns are received, bu
from the vote now in n the way thu
vote is running it seems entirely SAT-
in saying that Hanna has been re
Nominated.

kator Gronna showed that the voter
