Some Pointo In South America Are
North Of Places In North America.
In his book. the Conquest Of the
Tropics Frederick Upham Adams
calls attention to some little known
geographical facts:
Most Of us picture Havana as nearly
south of New York, when in fact 1t is
about south of Detroit. A study OF
a map Of the new world discloses the
disconcerting fact that all Of the west
coast of South America Is east OF De-
troit, and that most Of it is hundreds
OF miles east of New York city. The
truth of the matter Is that we should
call that continent Southeast Amer
ica."
also made the astounding discov-
cry that a considerable portion Of
South America lies north of the south
erly sections of North America. When
we set sail from Colon for Santa Mar
ia, Colombia, We do not head south
or southeast, we point our PROV north
east. This is almost as puzzling as the
other fact to the effect that Colon, the
Caribbean port (the supposed east
port, Is twenty odd miles west Of Pan
anna City, which is on the Pacific and
presumably west end of the canal. 1t
is positively uncanny to look out Of q
window of the Tivoli hotel, in Panama
City. and watch the sun rise %squarely
out Of the Pacific ocean. OF curse
an accurate map justifes the sun in
selecting the Pacific for rising rather
than setting purposes, but 1t never
seemed right or proper to me. Oceans
should stay where they belong, and
the Pacific has no business to twist
itself to the east of Panama.

ADMITS THEFT AFTER
DENYING 1T FOR 2 YEARS

A short term of Federal court clos
ed in this city Friday, Judge Amidon
being present. Paul Paulson was TAX
en- to Fargo Saturday by Deputy U. s.
Marshal Wattles, where he was COM
mitted on charge Of stealing letter
from the mails.
The crime, which was committed
about two years ago, was the result of
an interesting coincidence. Paulson,
who had claim in the western part Of
the state, gave up farming for time,
owing to reduced circumstances and
hired out to other people. One day he
received a letter addressed to Paul
Paulson, and containing a check for
S25 in payment for some seed. The
letter was intended for another man
of the same name, but the recipient
cashed it, and when the miscarriage
was discovered, claimed that he
thought the money was sent to him
to buy SEED with and send to the Gus
toner.
He stuck to his story for two years,
but pleaded guilty before the petit
jury last week. He received SEN
tence of 80 days and fine of 800.
Joseph Two Bear was sentenced to
one year and one day in the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kan, for in

The Kenmare Journal believes that
every editor in the state should use
his influence for non-partisan ballots
for all county officials. This seems
only fair. 1t was but short time ago
when candidates for superintendent of
schools had to express party pref
erence and their names appeared in the
various political columns. It was thot
best to divorce the schools from poll
tics, so the non-partisan ballot was
provided for. There is no good reason
why any candidate should ask for a
county office on the grounds that he is
a republican or democrat or a men,
Der of any other party. Oftimes the
best candidate is defeated because the
county in which he lives happens to
be made up of more members of the
opposite party.

N. D. TEACHER AND 6 PUPILS
FATALLY BURNED IN PRAIRIE
FIRE NEAR BELFIELD.

Dickinson, N. d., Nov. THE bod
les of six school children and their
teacher are in the hands of the under
taker at Belfield as the result of de-
vastating prize fire thirty miles
southwest of Dickinson yesterday af-
ternoon and evening.
Miss Gladys Hollister, aged %, died
at o'clock last night. This popular
teacher was conscious for a few min
utes and said she feared she made a
mistake in taking the children from
the school house when the prairie fire
rolled down the valley in great clouds
and gave them such a fright. She
seemed to feel that in leaving the
school house for grassy ground they
left place of safety. They were
quickly overcome by the fire and
smoke and huddled down together.
The Menge boy, Olson girl and an
ether child were found dead after the
fire had rolled past. The Menge boys
brother, the Olson girls sister and
another child lived until II o'clock
last evening, their teacher expiring
two hours earlier.
The teacher and the children were
huddled down together on the grassy
ground a short distance from the
plowed field, and their clothing was
entirely burned off.
Doctors and nurses from neighbor-
ing villages were rushed to the scene
of the tragedy, but all they could do
was to relieve the pain as far as pos
sible of the sufferers.
Five other pupils leaving when
school was dismissed went in another
direction and reached home in safety
at o'clock yesterday.
Belfeld is village twenty miles
west of Dickinson and the fire victims
all lived eight and ten miles southwest
of there.
The Olson girl and the Menge boy
were taken into Belfield about two
hours before they died. The teacher
and the other four victims were brot
in this morning.
The whole community is in the
throes Of deepest sorrow. The children
victims were aged from 6 to IA years.
The fire spent it's force during the
night or after thirty mile wind had
abated. The property damage may
reach $4,000.

The quiet thinkers of the world are
learning that the enemy of society is
not the woman who votes, but the wo-
men in the cities who play bridge. 1t
is not the women who take an intelli-
gent interest in the life of which they
are a part, but the women who sit by
the windows and watch the callers of
the neighbors across the way. Not the
women who work in the shops or the
factory or in the kitchens, but the
women whose days are passed at the
bargain counters or in isolation, with
no interest outside daily routine. Not
the women who earn money but the
women who waste it, because they
have never learned it's value.-Prof.

HOOP AND MOUTH DISEASE.

Ten states are now under quaran-
tine owing to the serious outbreak of
the hoof and mouth disease among
cattle. They are: New York, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Michiran, Illinois, Wisconsin,, Iowa
and Massachusetts. More are to fol-
low soon. This disease has been brot
into North Dakota by the cattle that
were shipped from the Union Stock
Yards, Chicago, to Mandan. The cat
tie were being shipped to Rosebud,
Mont, and were taken from the cars
at Mandan to feed. The U. S. govern
ment has closed the Mandan yards. 1t
is feared that the disease will spread
over North Dakota if the greatest
care is not taken. The Chicago yards
are under indefinite quarantine. The
700 pure bred cattle at the Dairy Show
are detained under strict quarantine.
Thirty head of these cattle are isolat-
ed, having the disease in pronounced
form. There is probability of saw
ing the balance in time. The impor-
tant thing now is to spot all cases
which may appear, reporting to the
proper authorities It is crisis in
live stock affairs. About $500 cattle
and it cost at that time 100000 to
stamp it out. The present epidemic
originated in Michigan.
The last epidemic occurred in 1908
have been destroyed to date.
The following is the definition of the
foot and mouth disease by the depart
ment of agriculture:
"This plague among domestic ami
mails, especially cattle, sheep, swine
and goats, is characterized by sensi-
tive sores on the tongue, palate and
hoof Of the animals.
"The sores become red and raw
within very short time and cause the
disease to spread very rapidly to other
cattle.
"Lameness appears and the milk
ducts dry up. 1t takes two years to
cure an animal.
"The only way to stamp out the d.
sease is to destroy all animals af-
f1icted."
