The Journalists Creed.

| believe in the profession of jour-
nalism.
l believe that the public journal is
a public trust; that all connected with
it are, to the full measure of their
responsibility, trustees for the public;
that acceptance of lesser service than
the public service is betrayal of this
trust.
| believe that clear thinking and
clear statement, accuracy and fairness
are fundamental to good journalism.
| believe that journalist should
write only what he holds in his heart
to be true.
| believe that suppression of the
news for any consideration other than
the welfare of society is indefensible.
l'belleve that no one should write
as a journalist what he would not
say as gentleman; that bribery by
ones own pocketbook is as much to
be avoided as bribery by the pocket
book of another; that Individual res
possibility may not be escaped by
pleading another's instructions or an
er's dividends.
| believe that advertising, news and
editorial columns should alike serve
the best interests of the readers; that
a single standard of helpful truth and
cleanness should prevail for all; that
the supreme test of good journalism
is the measure of its public service.
| believe that the journalism which
succeeds best-and best deserves sue
cess-fears God and honors man, is
stoutly Independent, unmoved by
pride of opinion or greed of power,
constructive tolerant, but never care
less, self controlled, patient; always
respectful of it's readers, but always
unafraid; is quickly indignant at in
justice; is unswayed by the appeal of
privilege or the camor of the mob;
seeks to give every man chance and,
as far as law and honest wage and
recognition of human brotherhood can
make it so, an equal chance; is pro-
foundry patriotic, while sincerely
promoting international good will and
cementing world comradeship; is
journalism of humanity, of and for
to-day's world.-Missouri University

TERRORS OF OLD AGE.
Patriarch Admits Wife's
Care heightened His Life,
Though She Has a
Temper, Too.
(By WALT MASON.)

"The other day got my feet wei
crossing the street" related the as
SCISSOR, "and | have been experiencing
the ill effects ever since. They are
rheumatic pains in my fetlocks ano
twinges of anguish all up and down
my shapely limbs. When l was
younger | was fond of duck hunting,
and l used to stand in ice water
up to my side-boards for hours to-
gether, and it didn't hurt-me in the
least"
CHATS the worst thing about being
DID," sighed the village patriarch.
"The venerable man is kept so busy
looking after his health that he hard
ly has time to play checkers. I'd
have been dead long ago if l had been
a single man, but my wife devotes
much attention to my health and is
always telling me what | must do and
what | mustn't do. She is an i'm
patient woman, and, although her in
tentions are the best in the world, she
sometimes adopts strenuous measures
to make me behave.
Last evening | was tired, and after
consuming the usual meal, lay down
en- the lounge to rest my weary bones.
| was just dropping into a refreshing
slet p when my wife came in from the
kitchen. She had a moist dish rag
in her hand, and on the impulse of
the moment she swatted me across
my bald head with it. | don't know
Of anything more disagreeable than
being swatted with a dish rag. Ny
scalp burned and tingled all night,
and | had to steep my head in warm

Before l could utter a word of pro-
test my wife asked me if | never
would have any sense. Didn't know
better, after all her teachings, than to
lie d2wn dirH.t'Y N front of an en
window, with a cold breeze blowing
over me? She's always after me,
trying to save me from an untimely
grave, and | must admit that she's
generally right, although | insist that
she should keep her temper.
But it seems a pitiful thing that l
man can't lie down when he wants to-,
without being in danger of contrac-
ting jumping pneumonia. When I
was Young | always hunted a place
where the wind would blow over me, if
l wanted a refreshing sleep, and
there never were unpleasant results.
But the thing that fattens man when
he is young will fit him for the family
mortician when he is old.
"The other evening, when I was
about to retire, l remembered that
the grocer had left some unusually
tempting apples that afternoon, and |
went into the kitchen to sample them.
I sat down and was having a fine
time eating a red apple about the size
of a jack-lantern, when my wife
reached my shoulder with big iron
spoon she had in her hand and knock

my thumb a clip for good measure.

RAIN FROM A CLEAR SKY.
An Alleged Phenomenon Linked With
the Falling of Dew

An Alleged Phenomenon Linked With
the Falling of Dew.
In English dictionaries we find the
word serein defined as fine rain
which sometimes falls from clear sky
shortly after sunset. The word is
French. but has become the internal
tional designation in meteorological
works for this alleged phenomenon,
which is always described as quite
rare.
Has the phenomenon a real exist
ence?
The fact that a stereotyped descrip-
ton of it has been passed on from one
meteorological writer to another since
the latter part of the eighteenth GEN.
ury is by 10 means conclusive evidence
on this point. for science has perpetu
ated many myths by the process OF
reiteration.

The cabbage acreage probably will
run about the same as last season, but
it may be less. The cabbage growers
at Barlow were fortunate, as they
marketed large portion of their cab
bage crop at satisfactory prices. This
year the acreage will compare favor
ably with last seasons in that sec
ton.
Sanford truckers will put in about

Tracy Bangs tells the following
story concerning James J. Hill and
t"Dick" Fadden, Larimore's late chief
rof police and one of the best known of
the old time citizens who located in the
Red river valley in the early '70's. The
incident was related by the railroad
lmagnate himself. Mr.. Hill had ur-
gent business at Abercrombie and no
railroad having been located in that
section, hired Mr.. Fadden to haul him
across country. At the end Of the
first days journey, one of the horses
went lame, and it looked as tho Mr..
Hill would not arrive on schedule time.
He offered Fadden double the regular
fee if he'd complete the journey on
time. That night Fadden rolled Mr..
Hill up in blankets and he slept sound
~ under the wagon, to be aroused be-
fore daybreak. Mr.. Hill noticed that
the team was jogging along nicely,

The party was accorded fine re-
ception by D. S. Hollenga, secretary,
and other officers of the association of
commerce. The visitors were taken
for auto rides about Minot, visited the
fine Riverside dairy farm and other
large farms, took in the mid-winter

mill and other places Of interest. They
were taken to entertainments and Civ
en- a banquet. They brought back
samples of corn, and Ignite coal,
which sells in town for $3.50 ton
The corn, while the ears are not SO
large as the corn raised in the corn
belt, still they showed up we'll matur-

can raise good corn. The yield runs
from twenty-five to fifty bushels to
the acre. The principal products are
wheat, rye, oats, barley and flax. AL

Few bills during the present legis-
lature have created more of stir in
business circles than Senate Bill 219,
pertaining to removal of county
seats, which was introduced by Sena-
tor Nelson of Rolette. The bill as
amended provided for the removal of
county seats upon majority vote,
when county seats are located not
more than four miles from the county
line and whose buildings are worth
not to exceed $4,000. In Nelson
county there has been county seat
fight for years, Michigan City being
one Of the latest aspirants for the
county seat honors. Lakota, the pres
ent county seat, is located a few rods
less than four miles from the county
line and her court house isn't extra
large. Messrs. Groves, Kelley, Skula-
son, Baird and other prominent bust
nessmen and farmers from Lakota
spent weeks lobbying against the bill,
for Lakota doesn't favor having a
county seat fight on her hands. She

ner as Nelson county. Rolla is the
county seat and Rolette is casting

originally introduced in the Senate
provided for a majority vote for re-
moval Of county seats from towns not
located on a railroad and would have
given relief to Mckenzie and one or
two other counties.

IN MEMORY OF G. H. BERG.
IT'S hard to think our friendship is
broken,
But our great, all-bearing God knows
best;
And to this dear soul hath spoken
That which Jesus promised-"R
1t pains our hearts to learn that he
has died,
But when the pearly white gates I'M
Close by his blessed Redeemer's
side,
We shall see Mr.. Berg walking the
Streets of Gold.
Mr.. Berg has entered his home so fair,
The wondrous JOY no tongue can tell;
He knows not pain, nor death nor
sorrow there,
And owns the victory over He'll.
On, when shall break life's silver
And when the morn of morns see,
With friends l love, Mr.. Berg, and
my Lord.
At Heavens gate will welcome me.
He has the waves of Jordan crossed
And just beyond the chilling tide
We know his soul has not been lost;
But is where the living waters glide.
Mr.. Berg has left this life of care and
strife,
With it's battles and trials for you and
me;
And now he calls to his daughter and
wife,
"Come home, I am watching and
waiting for thee"
"Well hast thou done," the Lord hath
spoken,
Mr. Berg knew that he would welcome
And said, before LIES cord was
broken,
lT will be received because He has
promised me-"
