It is estimated by good authority
that the value Of the poultry and egg
production each year in the United
States exceeds s1.ooo,ooo, 900. This is
claimed to be more than the total out
put Of all the coal. gold, silver, and all
other minerals mined during the same
period in this country.
These figures are impossible to com.
prehend, but they show the immensity
Of the poultry industry. This phase
Of farming ID growing in interest and
popularity in q remarkable way.
This is especially true Of the North
west. In our own state the poultry
industry IL growing rapidly. When

IN OPTIMISM ADDRESS TO-DAY
President Charles MCkenny in First Of Chapel
Talks at Normal Auditorium Speaks on
a Philosophy to Live By"
TUESDAY, JANUARY IS, 1914.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 1s, 1914.
President Charles McKenny, of the
State Normal college at Ypsilanti
Mich, addressed the assembled student
body and faculty membership at the
Normal school this morning during the
general exercises on the subject of "A
Philosophy to Live By" the first of a
series Of addresses to be given at that
hor;r every day this week.
President Mcfarland, in introducing
the speaker, referred to him as rank.
ing among the three or four Of the
most prominent Normal school presi.
dents in this country and as being a;
the head Of one of the greatest of the
Normal schools.
In opening his address, President
McKenny contended that every person
has philosophy Of life-they may not
acknowledge it in the sense of saying
they will be honest, kind, or perhaps.
corrupt, but they are so nevertheless.
The speaker mentioned several philos.
ophies prominent in everyday life,
Every man for himself and the devil
take the hindmost," Business is Bus
iness," ETC., philosophers, the existence
Of which is proven by and makes nee
essary such institutions as pure food

tended, there are several optimistic
conclusions to be drawn, from the
times. 8

WHEREAS, Frank White, T. Melvin
Lee, E. A. Mickelsen, and others have
filed in this Office a declaration in
writing or ARTICLES OF INCORPOR-
fATION, as provided by the Civil Code
of 1905 of this State, setting forth all
the facts required to be stated therein
by the said Civil Code, and have in all
respects complied with the require
ments of the law governing the forma-
tion of private corporations;
Now, therefore, I THOMAS HALL,
Secretary of State of the State of
North Dakota, by virtue and authority
of law, do hereby certify that said par
ties, their associates and successors,
have become a body polite and cor
porate, under the corporate name of

back the spiritual to the laboratories,
acknowledging that there are forces
they cannot explain and realizing that
Supreme Being is over all. The spir.
itual philosophy is stealing back to the
i tines. And this is the first philosophy
(, of life.
i The second is that the universe has
purpose and that it is not accidental.
Science finds the world organized and
| moving toward a purpose. 1t is great
thing to take part in this purpose
and one who does not realize this Is he
who hurries himself out of life.
In the third place, we may tell what
this purpose is. History shows 1t to be
a purpose of working out better race
In better world. From the beginning
Of time to now this has been done and
he who says that conditions are worse
than they have been in the past is un-
truthful, historically and economically.
The purpose Is realized In evolution
that today grew out of yesterday and
tomorrow will grow out of today. The
next generation is committed to this
and every individual has his part to
play. Every man and woman has his
or her place to fill, is. consecrated to
fill 1t the best he can. This is the phil
osophy the speaker urged was the
philosophy to live by.
President McKenny will speak to the
members Of the faculty at 1880 this
afternoon at round table discussion
and will again address the students to-
morrow morning at 1870. Citizens in
general are invited to attend the morn.
ing lectures. The speaker will be the
guest Of honor at the faculty banquet
on Friday evening.

knew. the grcaterits success, the greater the
cruelty but 1t was the only way She could
