THE GOOD ROADS TO COME
(By w. w. Bass.)

(By w. w. Bass.)
| come with a song OF road that 8
long,
And full of bumps and ragged
Jumps,
That knocks the heels and cracks
the wheels,
And gives you pain as the horses
strain.
To pull the load on this rocky
road;
Or when it rains on hills and plains.
And the mud is deep and it makes
you weep,
/ You sometimes swear, and rent
the air,
As you pry and pry. and pry again.
And wish for the strength of a
dozen men.
And you slowly creep where the
hills are steep,
And you're bound to stick where
the sand is thick,
Then you fondly dream OF another
team,
To draw the load on the wretched
road;
But you would need a lot more
feed,
More harness and lot of stuff;
And teams are high when you go
to buy,
God knows you have to buy enough;
And the crops were light and the
markets tight,
You're mighty blue when the bills
come due.
When the load got stuck in that
pile of muck,
And you spent the night in a hope
less fight
To save the little that was lett
From frost and rain, or maybe
theft;
For the night was dark and cold
and wet.
And you knew the folks at home
would fret,
But then such hearts as there are
strong,
Although the road is rough and
long,
They never falter, never fear
But struggle on from year to year.
If the powers that be could only
q mean such men as Carnegie,
And maybe Prick and old John d.
Your helpless plight that chilly
night,
Perhaps they'd tap that plumber
bund,
And start booming Good Roads" {

To aid these men in building roads, 1
On which TO safely haul their loads, ;
No bricks or books or sounding

\ Good Roads Song is a worthy 4
theme,

But the old-time roads have got q
to go, {
For the present day they're much {
too slow; c
Since now the automobile has come, r
With its oily smell and buzzy hum:
And that steady arm behind the S

I love dear Ari-zo-ni-A. c

STRUCTION ADVANCED BY
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.
That in a nutshell constitutes the
result of the third and final bout
in the boxing wrangle and test
case recorded yesterday afternoon
before Judge Smith. The query
OF the boxing fan. "Whcre do we
stand now" shared equal prestige
with the announcement on all sides.
That's very satisfactory" Judge
Frank o. Smith, sitting as com
hitting magistrate, sprang the neat
est legal surprise of the year by
disposing OF one of the most puz-
zling legal tangles in a magistrates
court. The notable performance
was commented upon by counsel
for all sides as 4 remarkable stroke
of diplomacy and ability. All the
attorneys connected with the case
expressed themselves satisfied with
the result
The salient features in connection
with the test case to determine
whether or not boxing constitutes
felony under the present laws
were lost sight of in the trend
taken by the hearing. The evil
dence produced by the witnesses,
in the opinion of Judge Smith,
demonstrated that a prizefght had
been conducted upon the night in
question, he quoting from a decision
by the supreme court OF Kentucky
that any bout held under Marquis
OF Queensbury rules was a prize
fight.
Judge Smith stated specifically
that ne did not believe boxing con-
Quoted along certain we'll regulated
lines would constitute a felony I'M
der the States statutes, thus pla:-
ing himself upon record as opposed
10 the attorney-generars construc-
ton of the law which prohibits any
kind OF ring or glove contest. This
attitude has placed puzzling aspect
upon the situation. Hitherto, they
have maintained that only boxing
contests have been conducted At
the local club. Assistant County
Attorney Joseph II. Morgan declared
that only boxing contests have been
held there. Now that the court
recognizes the local brand of the
hstic art as prizehghting. the enthu-
siasts are at loss to know exactly
where they stand
One prime enthusiast and close
follower OF the fray declared i'm
mediately after it was all over:
Everybody won and everybody lost
at the same time; the law was
violated and yet no limitations have
been placed to what constitutes a
violation under this certain act; the
defense has procured the release II
its clients, but cannot vouch for its
attainments in the test case part
il. SO where do we stand?
The boxing sport has been struck
a knockout blow. Whether the
game will remain down for the
count Of ten, recover and then come |
back for another try at a victory, re-
mains to be seen. The present
state of affairs. however. establishes /
the fact that there will be no more
ring contests here or anywhere else
in the State for that matter until |
satisfactory arrangements are conf
pleted between the attorney -gcncr-
ais office and the boxing fraternity. I
There still remains to be handed
down an exact interpretation of the

How Gus s Chance,

If some of the notables of ancient times were living now how differently they would act!
 Noah would charter an ocean liner Nero would step into the parlor and turn on the photograph while Rome burned and the heather ragged Ben iur would pilot 50 horsepower rae ing car and spin around saucer tracks. Jason would hire the great detective to find the Golden Fleece, instead of going after it himself. Icarus would mount to the sun in a Bleriot mono plane without fear of its wings melting off, Napoleon would invade Russia in Pullman palace car.

from poultry and from other crops
such as alfalfa, onions, beans, etc
The state also produces great deal
of wealth from it's Ignite coal mines
from many brick-yards and from other
natural resources, which, while not OF
great individual volume, make up a
total that would be surprising if it
could be accurately estimated.
1t is probably safe to say that the
state produced this year over $780,
100000 worth of actual wealth.
These figures are convincing proof
of the coming greatness Of North Da'
kota. Each year the state digs out OF
the soil millions of money. Each fall
sees a golden flood pouring into North
Dakota in return for it's great train
loads of produce.
This wealth is piling up. 1t is
making greater cities, building finer
farm homes and farm buildings, pay
ing off mortgages, putting more en-
pensive and more efficient machinery
on the farms,-in short making a
greater and Weather state. Surely
there is bright future in store for
those who "stick by" North Dakota.

SCHOOLS ENOUGH.

And now comes the report that
Dickinson is after a normal school.
We now have four normal schools,
when as matter of fact we do not
have need for more than two, and the
large amount of money which is be-
ing expended to maintain these extra
two schools is Gripping our state edu-
cational institutions, besides burden
ing our state with taxes. At this time
it would be the heighth of folly to think
of establishing another normal school
in this state. The time may come
when we will need more schools of
this kind in our state, but not at the
present. It is about time that this
matter of spending the states money
so recklessly in order to pat some
town or other on the back should
cease. Let US build up the education
al institutions we now have instead of
creating nlore.-Devils Lake World.

ton.
The situation is, then, briefly:
First, as to the pending amendment.
If the legislature rejects it it is dis.
posed of. If it passes it, the amend.
ment will be voted on in 1916, and
may be passed by receiving a major
ity of the votes cast on that partic-
ular measure. Otherwise it is lost.
Second, an amendment may be pro-
posed by petition, approved at the
next election by majority of all the
votes cast, and ratified and made a
law by the legislature of 1917. Or
if the legislature fails to approve, it
will be voted on in 1918 and become
a law on it's receiving a majority of
all the votes cast.

NURSING A GRUDGE

indianapolis News: If man were
seen to stick a blade of his pen knife
| into the palm of his hand and twist 1t
around as if he enjoyed the pain ne
would probably be regarded as dan
genous lunatic, and several such acts
! would land him in an insanity court;
yet the person who nurses grudge
maltreats his thoughts just as surely
as this man abused his body, and he is
immune from condemnation of socie-
ty. Silence nOurishes grudge until
it may become an obession, and one
grudge breeds another until in the end
black thoughts rule the white and the
grudge bearer will wake up to find
himself social outcast and a person
whom little children openly distrust.
The moral grudge which Esau had
against his brother, Jacob should
bring a pretty sharp lesson to the
man who finds himself slipping into
the grudge habit. And if he thinks his
grudge is just and that by retaining it
he affords himself satisfaction, he
should then consider it's influence on
those who cannot avoid contact with
him. The mental habits of parents
pass to children as matter of course
and in families where discord reigns
and quarrels have a prominent place
daily, there may generally be found
parent who nurses a grudge until it
explodes and affects all within reach.
The deadly enemy of a grudge is la
quacity. The laxative man may be
reused to violent anger, and in the
heat of such an outburst he may do
things he later regrets, but he seldom
fortunes himself by nursing a grudge.
The chances are he will talk about
his insipient grudge, for he almost al
ways talks about what is uppermost in
his mind, and talk brings to the sur
face the folly in sullen dislike. If a
grudge shows itself in dark looks and
surly conduct there is little hope for a
cure, for even among friends appear
ances must be verified by words be-
fore sympathy and advice may be Of
fered; but when a person brings his
grudges out in the open he soon finds
himself the object of a good many
jocular witticisms, and his grudge
withers in the sunlingt of levity, leav-
ing him cheerful and clean in thoughts
and little the worse for his experience

FACTS ABOUT THE
FOOT AND MOUTH WAR.

Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub.
lished at Springfield, Ohio, prints in
the current issue Of that periodical the
following interesting facts about the
foot-and-mouth disease:
1T is war"
"Foot-and--mouth disease exploded
in the neighborhood of Chicago like a
seventeen-inch shell from a Krupp
howitzer, and blew to pieces the live
stock business of Illinois, Michigan,
Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio. It
shattered things in dozen other
States for when the stock yards are
closed in Chicago, Indianapolis, and
Buffalo the whole livestock business
feels it.
Europe is the normal home of this
disease, which is caused by germ too
small to be filtered out of a liquid, or
to be seen in the microscope. 1t is
violently contagious, but only moder-
ately fatal to the cloven-hoofed ami.
mails subject to it; and it is incurable.
1t causes infected animals to waist to
skeletons and a considerable proper
ton of them die.
1T is caught through the hides, hair,
mouth secretions, or milk of infected
animals.
1T infects human beings, especially
children. A child i'll with foot-and-
mouth disease is taken with fever and
vomiting, and with small sores like
fever blisters inside the cheeks and on
the tongue. 1t is not a very severe
disease for human beings except in
exceptional cases. Milk may be made
safe against this infection by Pasteuri-
cation to the temperature of 145 de-
grees for thirty minutes.
The livestock infected are incur
able and all should be killed and their
carcasses buried.
This is the worst outbreak of foot
and-mouth disease inthe history of the
United States, and the control of it
means a war in which many of us yill
be losers, and most of us feel the in
convenience"
