With The TRAVELLERS
TWAS NO PLACE
FOR RUBBER NAN
HIS FIRM THOUGHT HE SHOULD
HAVE PROCURED MORE RUsI-
NESS, BUT HE EXPLAINED JUST
WHAT WAS WRONG AND WHY
HE DIDN'T.

Not all sections of North Dakota
are accustomed to the Trequqent rains
which have visited the state this sea-
son, and a salesman for a st. Paul
rubber goods house has discovered a
locality where standing pools are a
real novelty.
Because of the unusually wet season
many of the firms Northwestern rep
resentatives have been sending in ex-
c~eptionally heavy orders, and the COM
pany was a trife peeved because a
salesman in the far western part OF
the state procured so little business.
They wrote him a curt letter, calling
attention to the fact that their men in
other sections Of the Northwest had
been handling a thriving trade, and
suggesting that he had better try and
sell something.
A few days later the firm received
this reply:
How do you figure that a man is
going to sell these ducks rain coats
n boots when there are thousands
of frogs in this locality from four to
six years old that are drowning be-
cause they eve learned how to
SWIM"
His territory has since been changed.

COMMERCIAL MEN
ARE NOT BOXERS
STATEMENT THAT THEY PREFER
A "WET" TOWN Is QUICKLY RE-
FUTED BY ONE INDIGNANT
MEMBERS OF U. C. T.-NEARLY
80 PER CENT PREFER DRY.

During a recent local option cam
paign, a wet speaker attempted TO
convince his audience by declaring
that travelling statesmen prefer a wet"
town. and the statement carried con-
siderable weight in the town which
boasted Of a large population of COM
mercial travellers until one of their
number published this statement:
Il stand as a representative of an
order Of travelling men comprising H.
900 members. When you get a travel
ing mar mad he is awful mad, and
after the address of Friday evening
our order called an indignation meet
ing, and l was selected to refute the
statements made in that address con
corning US and to the effect that ira
yelling men like q wet town. We are
the largest and only secret organiza-
ton of travelling men in the United
States, and rs per CEN to so per cent
of u members are dry. To show how
dry we are, I will say that the use
Of malt or spirituous liquors is abso-
lutely prohibited at the meetings OF
our councils, at our banquets, and at
all of our social affairs. If you go to
any of our picnics you will find
nothing to drink but grape juice and
orangeade. You will never find a
travelling nan wearing this little but
ton I have on my coat, drunk, or dis
turbing the peace of any city. In
proof Of this I refer you to the records
Of the police magistrate of this city.
l challenge any one to cite an in
stance of a travelling man here being
arrested for violation of the law in
any manenr. He quoted sections from
the rules governing the order which
show conclusively that the organiza-
ton is emphatically opposed to the use
f liquor, and that it's members are not,
as was so u~njustly stated, in favor Of a
wet town.

A proof of "Pancho" Villas ability as a

taking of Juarez. villa, who was with
leaving part of his force there, by a
wide detour interrupted the railroad
line north of Chihuahua and captured a

the train full of his own men and,
rolling unopposed into the station that
night, took the city by surprise.

FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE.

For thousands of Louisianains,
young mon and young women, the
teachers work offers exceptional
opportunity. Compared with dem
tistry, medicine, law, and engi-
neering, it has tho merits OF cost
ing much less in preparation, re-
curing fewer years, and bringing
occupation and good pay without
having to 90 through q starvation
period before obtaining business.
Unlike the physician, the teacher
may sleep undisturbsd through
tho night; unlike the dentist, bis
hours Of labor are short; unlike
tho lawyer, the teacher builds on
the virtues of tho coming genara-
ton instead of profting by the
vices of the present. The leisure
of the teacher, the certainty OF be-
ing paid at the end of each month,
and tho universal esteem in which
hs 10 held, are other advantages.
As a matter of fact, Louisiana
needs so many trained teachers
every year, that superintendents
have to employ outsiders by the
hundred to fill tho schools. For
tho purpose of training teachers
for the schools of Louisiana,
tho State Normal School at Nat
chitochss announces that it will
offer more varied courses and
greater opportunity than over be-
fore. This summer school will
open June l. 1914. All interested

DISCOVERY MAY
GHtGk EPIDEMIC
DR.. Norgaard Finds That Small
Worm Is Cause of Disease
Killing Island Horses.

IL is estimated that more than two
hundred horses have died on the
Ielahds OF Molokai and Hawaii during
the past two months the result Of an
epidemic 81 spinal mengitis. DR.. Vie.
TOT. Al Norgaard, territorial waterman.
iah and superintendent of the terri
tofial animal quarantine station, to.
gether with the territorial board of
agriculture, has been making every eff
Sort TO cheek the rayages OF the
Strange malady. He announced yves.
tefday that he believes the only wav
the disease can be checked IL for the
stockhen 10 provide pure winter sup.
plies FOR their horses on The ranges.
The epidemic ais said bys Doctor Nor.
gard to be identical with that which
eaused the death of more than 10000
horses IN Kansas two years ago. Ev-
cry effort 70 check the epidemic failed
until " finaliy ran It's course.
Until Doctor Norgaard made the
discovery that the disease is caused by
a worm found in impure water the
source Of the malady was not known.
His discovery, IL IL believed will re-
suit in the saving Of thousands of dol
lars TO the stock raisers Of the entire
united States as well as other coun.
tries.
Doctor Norgaard's theory is that the
disease is caused by the iwire worm,
known as the strong9:us, that lives ir
stagnant water in larvae FORM, In
this shape il is taken into the stom.
achs Of the horses. II quickly bores
its way through the walls of the in.
testines and stomach until it finally
gets into vein. II thrives and mul.
tiplies in the blood vessels They
soon cause blood clots which are ear
ried to the brain and plug up the
small arteries.
Spinal meningitis is disease Of the
brain and spinal cord and is invariably
fatal.
''I believe that the only way the
stockmen can combat this disease is TO
provide pure water for their stock on
the ranges" said Doctor Norgaard
yesterday. HThis can be done by the
use Of sand filters, similar TO those now
used in purifying the water supplies
OF many cities. 5..
