DEBATE
FRIDAY EVENING
Important Issue Ably Dis
cussed at Auditorium
\. Last Night.

The Woman's Suffrage question was
thoroughly threshed out Friday epe-
ming in the debate at the auditorium
between Miss. Thompson, and Miss
Mallory Dorman.
Miss Thompson Is national Organ
izer of woman's suffrage clubs, while
Miss Dorman occupies a similar POI
sition with the anti-suffrage element.
An audience 200 strong heard the
debate. President r. B. Griffith Of
the Commercial Club acted as chair
man.
The arguement was opened by Miss
Thompson. She pointed out that
in the old days it was the strong man
govern, but that this condition has
changed, and that with the change
one of the chief arguments against
Woman's suffrage had been eliminat-
ed.
Miss Thompson declared that 1t was
necessary for the woman to have the
vote if the children of the country
were to be properly taken care of,
and protected, and said that the anti
suffrage movement was being upheld
by the liquor interests, and the ex-
ploiters Of Commercial vice.
In UNFOLDING the anti-suffrage view
Of the situation, Miss Thompson de-
clared that Is was necessary for the
women and men to devide the
responsibility of modern life. and
that If the women attempted to make
a serious study of politics they would
have no time left for their household
duties.
She cited the recent primary cleo
ton as an indication that most Of the
women of this state did not wish
to vote.
Miss Dorman also claimed that the
experience of, Colorado where the
women voted for the last eight years
showed that more children went a.
mothers. who were interested in poll
ties than account of any defect in
the laws.

SUCCESS ATTENDS GRAND
FORKS FAIR, ENDED FRIDAY NIGHT

After four successful days the big
Grand Forks Interstate fair last even
ing closed down. The exhibits and at
fractions this year We're unusually
good and the live stock was by far the
largest and best ever seer in North
Dakota.
Yesterday was chill Day. and all
records for a last day attendance were
smashed, fully 10000 people being on
the grounds. An excellent program
was carried III yesterday, three of
the best attractions of the week be-
ing on, namely James ]. Hill, the big
free=for-all race and the biggest stock
parade ever shown in the state.
Exhibitors were released at 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and they
began tearing up O o after that time.
The stands and shows, along the Mid
way and Pike, however, continued TO
run late into the evening. A severe
wind and rain storm struck the fair
grounds about 1890 o'clock last night
and a couple OF the stands We're blown
down One stand on the Pike blew
over n came very near knocking a
mar down.
All Are Pleased.
The fair directors and everybody in
general were very we'll satisfied with
the exhibition this year. When inter
viewed on the subject last evening the
directors all said thai they thought
the fair was one of the best over held
In the state. Special mention was
made of the live stock show and Of
the exhibits generally. James J.. Hill
stated that the fair was one of the
finest he had eyer attended.
Several prominent persons We're in
the city Yesterday from Fargo for the
purpose Of attending the closing day
Of the fair. The party included Sec
rotary c.. A. Nash and Directors Ed.
Cole, Herman Kiel, NJ. A. Baldwin and
Dunbar Cole Of the Fair Fair ~associa-

local fair manasement. They also
highly commended the live stock ex-
hihits.

Meridian ROAD
BOOSTERS HERE
Col. Westergaard and Par
ty Made Brief Stay in
Grand Forks Friday.

Col. A. L.. Westergard, and his
bunch of Meridian road boosters made
a short stop in Grand Forks Friday
afternoon on their long trip from the
Gulf of Mexico to Winnipeg.
The party arrived in this city at
$3.50 O'Clock Friday afternoon, and
after spending a short time at the fair
grounds continued on it's way to Graf
ton. where the travellers were to spend
the night.
Those making the trip are Col.
Westergaard, his wife, and n D. E.
Culp, president of the Texas division
of the Meridian Road association; j.
A. Storburg and Clarence Myers, rep
resenting the Marlin. Texas CONNER
cial club, and A. Kilfer, Oklahoma
City who is making motion pictures
of the trail.
The bunch are highly pleased with
the results Of their trip up to date,
and with the many improvements
which are now in progress. They
state that by next year, it will be pos
sible to make the entire trip from the
gulf to Winnipeg in 10 days.
All Of the four cars in which the
party is making the trip are in good
shape, and will probably complete the
1000 mile trip without breakdowns.

Good Roads association and President
D. G. Cole of the Meridian Road as
ISOLATION. They stopped here on their
way to Winnipeg with several others
and they We're greatly pleased with
the fair. A. Kilfer, a motion picture
operator was with the party, and also
took a number Of views of the
grounds. He caught Prof. Hutchin-
son just as he was making his ser
satlonal parachute drop yesterday aft
ernoon.
Many Strong Features.
One of the best programs Of the
week was given in front of the grand
stand. Prof. Hutchinson made two
successful balloon ascensions and
parachute drops yesterday. In the aft
ernoon he assembled about 5000 feet
n used six parachutes in descending.
In the evening he used four. Both
acts were done so that they could be
seen in front Of the grandstand, the
balloon going almost straight UP at
first n there was very little wind
to carry it away.
The boys encampment which was
so successfully conducted this year
broke up last evening also. Plans
farm girls are already being discussed
for next year.
The Midway attractions this year
We're good also. The Great Interna-
tional shows were on the grounds and
large crowds attended them each day
of the fair. The shows were running
full blast until late last night.
Mrs. Robert Green in charge of the
women's department is entitled to
much praise for the way she handled
her work this year. Everything was
run off very smoothly and the exhibit
tors were all well pleased. Miss Bea-
trice tombstone also rendered valuable
assistance to the fair association in
taking charge Of the corn contest and
looking after other exhibits.
Pure food laws We're we'll obeyed
during the fair. Mrs. r. A. Sprague,
pure food inspector, was on the job
all the time and watched the stands.
Proprietors We're compelled to keep
their food stuff covered up to keep off
the dust and germs.

DEPOSITS
SHOW INCREASE
Rise of Over Half Million
Dollars Indicated Dur
ing Last Year.

Deposits in North Dakota national
banks increased over half a million
dollars from June 4. 1913, to June 80,
1914, according to the official report
of the federal comptroller of currency.
The deposits on the former date
amounted to s~32,465,297 and or the
latter s%32,s73,61O, making an increase
of s50s,313.
Loans and discounts during the
same period increased from $31,44a,-
$50, to $~33,5e4,637.
The slight decrease in deposits
which was shown in the period inter-
vening since the last previous report
for the present year, is merely a sea-
sonal change, the June deposits being
usually lighter than those during the
month Of March.
Two new national banks have been
established in the state during the
last year according to the report. MAX
ing a total of 146 banks in the state.

about looking for a retired place in
which to take off his old suit, but all
the time he took the utmost pains
O to be seen. Ordinarily he does
lot care who sees him, but getting
rid of an old suit for a new one is a
very serious matter with Mr.. Black
snake. In the first place he feels very
uncomfortable while he is getting the
old suit off, and his temper, never of
the best, is very, very short then. Also
he has rather q helpless feeling. You
see, he cannot slip his suit off easily
in the way a boy can. He is like the
little girl who has a dress with a great
many hooks and eyes where she can
not get at them easily, and so must
take considerable time. and some
times lose both temper and patience.
At last he found just the place he
was looking for. 1t was on the edge
of the Green Forest. where the brush
grew thick around a little pile Of old
logs. There was room to crawl under
these. You know Mr.. Blacksnake
does not require very much room, and
here he found plenty for his purpose.
He felt sure that no one would dis
turb him there, and that was a very
important matter. Still more import
ant was the fact that two of those logs
were just far enough apart to make it
a tlSht squeeze Tor MIN to Wrlggle
between them. He smiled when he
saw this. 1t was going to make it
much easier to get that old suit off.
You see, he has no hands with which
to pull 1t off as Old Mr.. Toad pulls
his suit OFF, and 30 he has to try some
other way.
He glided all around under and be-
tween the logs to make sure hat no
one else was there, and then he Gid
ed this way and thai way through the
brush to make sure that no one was
hiding there. At last he was satisfied
that he would not be disturbed. and
he hurried back to the pile of logs
to begin the task of getting off his
old suit. Now. you know Old Mother
Nature has queer ways Of giving her
children new clothes. All this time
MI. Blacksnake really had his new
suit on underneath the old suit. He
had got to get the old suit off, but he
wouldn't have to put the new one on
because It was already on. Old Moth
err Nature had attended to that.
He went straight to the two logs
that were so close together, and then
he began to push and wriggle and
squirm as he tried to pass between
them. He pulled and he blew, and I
suspect that if he had been anybody
but a snake he would have grunted.
It was easy enough to get his neck
through after he had got his head
through, but the thickest part Of his

body was a terribly tight squeezeA Lit

tie by little he managed to get
through. When enough of him MAS
through to allow him to lift his head
and look back he gave a little sigh OF
relief. You see, his old suit had
caught between those two logs and
he was pulling himself right out Of it
just the same way in which you pull
your hand out Of a glove.
When he saw this we went to work
again and pulled harder than ever.
He was afraid that that old suit might
pull lose from the logs; but 1t didn't,
and presently as he got the thickest
part of his body through the old suit
came off easier. A few more wriggles
and pulls and he was out Of it alto
gether. There 1t lay, turned wrong
side out complete, clear to the tip
of his slender tail. And the funny
thing was that instead of being black
it was white. Yes, sir, it was white,
and SO thin hat YOU could almost
look through It! But his new suit
was black, oh, SO black! And it was
very handsome. Right away MI.
Blacksnake vas in a hurry to show
1t off, and he didn't even give his old
suit another look as he rushed away.
Now, what do you think-all the
time he had supposed no one was
about a certain thrifty little person
of the Green Forest had been watch
ing him!
Grand Forks daily herald and the evening times., 1914-08-01

Mr.. Blacksnake lay basking in the
sun. Now and then n of his neigh
b,ors would come along and call him
unpleasant names. but he didn't mind
that. He is SO used to being called
all kinds Of bad anne that he would
hardly know what to make of it il
some one was to say something pleas
ant and kind. So the bad names
didn't trouble him at all. He just ran
out his tongue from force of habit and
continued to eajoy'his GUN bath.
Now, Mr.. Blaelsnake IS Very inde-
pendent. He honestly doe.n't care
what people think of him. He has
had such a bad reputation SO long
that he is rather proud CT it. You
know 1t gets that way sometimes.
Some people actually take pride in
peing thought q lot worse than they
are.
The worse they think I am the
more they will be afraid of me, and
the more afraid of me they are the
more they will leave me alone" Mr..
Blacksnake would say. So he would
do things just to make his neighbors
think the very worst possible of him,
But, like most people, he has one
great weakness, has Mr.. Blacksnake.
he Is inclined to be vain. He thinks
q great deal of his personal appear
ance. He has a handsome black suit
and is very proud Of it. You may call
him a thief and worse, and he will
only chuckle. But when he happen
ed to hear Sammy Jay remark that
Mr.. Blacksnake was looking rather
shabby and must be having hard
times his pride was touched. He rails
ed his head and looked himself all
over, a thing he can do much easier
than most people.
IT'S true" he muttered. THAT
busybedy, Sammy Jay, is right. I
am looking rather shabby. Not that

HOMEOPATHY

In injuries, homeopathy combined
with the necessary mechanical treat
ment, gives results that can hardly be
appreciated by one who has not been
in a position to make comparisons.
The proper homeopathic remedy ap-
piled to these cases gives relief from
pain without the necessity for OPT
ates, prevents blood-poisoning or
cures 1t quickly if it has already ap-
peared and therefore makes a large
percentage Of amputations %unneces-
sary. It hastens cure and prevents
deformity.

h they will leave me alone"
Mr.. Rlacksnake would say.
I care what he thinks, but I do like
everybody should dress as well as they
can for their s~elf-respect. I always
feel best when I look best: Sammy
Jay Is quite right, and it is time I had
4 new suit. It Is high time. 1 must
see what can be done. Sometimes I
think ! would like to wear colors. but
for my build ! guess there is nothing
quite SO appropriate. as black. Then.
black always wears well. and it is very
Of sight In dark places. I think I
Will set black again this year. 1t GER

He said this just as II he could
choose his suit himself. when all the
time he knew perfectly we'll that he
could have nothing but what Old
Mother Nature provided; and that
very good plan to think you want
what you know you have got to have
and this is what Mr.. Blaeksnake was
doing.
Having fully made. up his mind that
It was time to have q new suit, Mr..
Rlaeksnake wasted no time. He cut
short his sun bath ana started out to
look tor q place to change his clothes.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SOCIETY
THE SOLITARY REAPER.

DFnoio ner' single IN the field,
:Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!
Alone she cuts and binds the grain.
And sings a melancholy strain;
O listen! for the Vale profound
Is overlooking with the sound.
No nightingale did ever chaunt
More welcome notes to weary bands
of travellers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands;
A voice so thrilling meter was heard
In springtime from Cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
Will no one tell me what. she sings?
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old. unhappy, far off things,
And battles long ago;
Or is it ONE more humble lay,
Familiar matter of today?
Some natural sorrow, loss or pain,
That has been, and may be again?
Whate'er the theme, the maiden sang
AS If her song could have no end
ing
I saw her singing at her work,
And DER the sickle bending;
I listened, motionless and still;
And, as l mounted up the hill
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
