Beach Advance: President Worst
Of the agricultural college has been
asked by the farmers to consider he
nomination for the position of United
States senator. We understand he
has rendered his resignation to the
college to take effect in June next year,
and if he cannot be retained in his
present position his knowledge Of the
needs of the farmer ought to equip
him in fine shape as their representa-
tive in the upper house of congress.
Minot Independent: John H. Worst,
president of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, should feel proud over
the endorsement given him by the
farmers of North Dakota at the con-
clusion of the Grain Growers conven-
ton at Fargo last week. These reso-
buttons are worthy of publication by
every wspa in North Dakota.
John Worst has never played politics,
except in a good. clean way and humid
reds of his farmer friends are urging
him to become a candidate for the
United States senate. Mr.. Worst Is a
big, broad-gauged citizen, a friend
ever to the farming interests and a
man whose appearance. speech and
manner at once command respect. He
would be a credit to this great state
in the senate chamber. The indie
pendent believes that he would accept
the candidacy if the farmers would
urge him. John Worst could win in

resolutions declaring "the great mass

pursuits for a living is not ven rep

Mr.. Worst, had by The Forum, he
gives out the impression he would 40

 One of the small gains from the war so far is the tendency for the blatant and wasteful extravaganza of the rich to give place to simple and more moderate habits.

Dear SIT:
 May I ask the favor of a few lines in your valuable publication in aid Of our Belgium war relief fund.
 Everybody has read, not only in the United States, but all over the world of the disastrous war now raging be- tween the powerful nations of Europe; the dreadful slaughter of tens, nay, of hundreds of thousands of able-bodied men, and the ruin and desolation in its wake.
 Belgium, my native country, one sixth the size of the State of Wash ington, as usual is, the innocent vic tim. It has seen it's territory invaded by a powerful neighbor without any cause whatever, its soil trampeled un- der foot, crops ruined, towns burned and ransacked, women, children and old men precipitately leaving their homes and belongings, fleeing for their lives, unprotected, whilst the men went bravely to the front, vallantly fighting in defense of their country and their liberty.
 It is, in order to alleviate, as far as can do so, for their misery is beyond description, that we have or

The rich mans son inherits lands, And piles of brick and stone and

 And wearies in his easy chair; A heritage. it seems to me One scarce would wish to hold in fee. What dot nthe poor mans son in herit? A hardy frame, a hardier spirit; King Of two hands, he does his part Tn every useful toll and art: A heritage, it seems to me, A king might wish to hold in feee. What doth the poor mans son in

When I could not sleep for cold, I had fire enough in my brain, And bui1ded with roofs of gold My wonderful castles in Spain.' | I wonder how many young men who are accustomed to call upon, young women on Sunday afternoon realize what strait a girl may be put in when his visits 1engthen out to the dinner hour, especially if he has come unexpectedly? Every woman loves to hospitab1e but she is not always pre- pared as she would like to entertain a guest at dinner.

There are others who homes of the latter class to have a nice young man call upon the pretty daughter.
 Trust mother to eke out de- ightfu1 dinner out Of odds and ends or such an occasion. The girl in the parlor and the young man have been so engrossed in their lively chat that neither notices that darkness has grown on apace, until the clock in an adjacent room chimes the hour of six.

An Inconsistent Lover

Dear Miss Idbbey:
 T am a girl of twenty-five: have kept company with a young man. now twenty-six. for. four years, yet do not understand him. He left one night eleven months ago and had not heard from him at all, except to see him pass every, night in the street car. After eleven months we made up and he came for two weeks steady, then stopped, and I have never seen him since What am to think Of such a man?
 A man who treats a young girl so shabbily is not worth a moments con- sideration. Do not bother any longer about him. Invite more congeniaI young men to call on you.
 To wed man who comes and goes by fits and starts is to insure life of future uneasiness. His wife will never feel sure of his Homecoming at night, and be forever worried over the fear that soon or late he will take French leave of her altogether, which will probably turn out to be the case.
