Col. Frame, a veteran of the Philip
pine war, having been major of the
North Dakota battalion, is a candidate
for lieutenant governor. Mr.. Frame
was speaker of the house during the
last session Of the legislature and
proved a very able man. At this time,
we can say that we don't know wheth-
Ell he can be considered a,stalwart or
a progressive, but that matters little
to US in this campaign. What the In
dependent would like to see is the
wiping out of these former lines in a
party and in the coming
expect to support men who
in times past have been allied with
either faction. Col. Frame looks like
good timber to US.

In New Jersey the son of Judge was

The United States Express Co., one
of the oldest Of the express concerns,
has gone out of business. Too much
parcel post. These companies have
waxed fat for great many years at
the expense of the public, but now we
are getting rates that are fairer.
When we look back and think that the
parcel post system was adopted dur
ing Taft's administration, we must
give the big fellow credit for doing
some good. -

The announcement Of John J. Lee
for sheriff has created q mild panic in
the ranks Of those who were looking
with longing eyes towards the Office
for themselves or their friends. MIR.
Lee is farmer and his sympathies
have ever been with that class. He
has tasted the sweet and the bitter,
and Of late years there has been a
preponderance Of the latter for him.
He has never yet been defeated for
any Office to which he has aspired and
it is generally conceded that he is a
very formidable candidate.

One mistake many families make in
their living, especially in winter, is the
little use made Of fruit. It is meat,
potatoes, bread and pie from Monday
to Saturday. Apples and oranges are
considered a luxury, but they should
remember that the acid of fruit is nee
essary TO health. Children need plen-
ty Of fruit. So these frugal folks get
sick, bilious, and run to doctors for
medicine. Eat prunes and dried fruit,
but do eat fruit

The Independent is glad that the
women of Minot are cooperating so
nicely with the Association of Com
merce in it's movement to make Minot
more beautiful. A plain, unpreten-
>tious looking house can often be made
to look cozy and homelike by little
work on the lawn. Keeping the grass
and weeds cut, the rubbish cleared
away at the rear and in the alley, a
flower bed here and there, rows Of
nasturtiums and sweet peas; Virgin
ia Creeper, wild morning glory or
even the common wild cucumber vine
lends attractiveness to the home. A
little garden well cared for, a few or
namental trees and foliage, fruit
trees, currants and gooseberries-all
these can be grown very successfully
in North Dakota and relieve the SUR
roundings Of the barren aspects. This
idea Of cleanliness about the home is
catching. Many man who sees his
neighbor tidying up gets the fever
and soon becomes m enthusiast. There
are many beautiful homes in Minot,

Festivals are planned also for the
Norwegians who are unable to attend
the Centenary abroad. On May 16
and II there will be a gathering Of
about 10000 in Humbolt Park and
Brands Park, Chicago, under the aus
pices of the Norwegian National
Leag.e
The North Dakota legislature has
appropriated $4,000 for participating
in the Centennial. On the 4th of July
Governor Hanna in person, accom-
panied by his staff, will present a
statue of Lincoln, who more than any
other man has embodied in his life the
American principles which appeal to
the Norwegian immigrant. The funds
for this monument were collected pri-
vately by committee headed by the
governor. The North Dakota exhibit
will include a model of the farm of
John Steen of that state.
In Minnesota and Wisconsin the
work is in charge of semi-official COM
mittees under their respective govern
ors; $4,000 has already been collect
ed from Observation-Disclosures for a
memorial gift to Norway, and this sum
will undoubtedly be greatly increased
during the next few months.

find the evenings the only available time.
The commercial courses are being en-

thoroughly practical and to get away
from anything bordering on the purely
academic. Two years ago courses in
