Worker and Loafer,
From the Breeders Gazett,

from the Breeders GaZettS.
One day we happened along where Their >
was a road working bee. Neighbors had
turned. out to improve the highway and
to make safe some dangerous stretches
of a much Travelled road. Among the
workers one was especially notable for
his energy and enthusiasm. He worked
as though he enjoyed it; his heart was
in the endeavor and he shoveled earth,
rolled rocks and laid on gravel with cheer,
full enthusiasm.
Another mar was a laggard, who SAT-
often watching the workers, offering
them advice more in raillery chan in a
spirit of desire to aid. Here is what We
were told:
See that man who works so hard? He
does not need to work. He started 80
years ago with his two hands. his head,
an old gray mare and so acres Of poor
land. Today he owns numbers of farms,
He is a good citizen, always public spirited
and ready to help. That fellow sitting
on the fence? Well, he has never yet
been on the township as a public burden,
but that Is the best I can say for him.
Work and he fell out many a long day
ago.
It is not so very hard to guess which
of these two men spent that day the
happier hours. who spends year after
year the happier hours. Work builds
men as well as fortunes.

The Sealed Doors of Belgium.

Frederick Palmer in Golfers Weekly.
The Belgian farmer can not go to the
next town without the permission of the
German sentries. He can not even mail a
letter to his son who is in the trenches
with the Allies. The Germans have taken
thing he has If they choose-the power Of
the bayonet.
If he wants to send his produce to a
foreign market, If he wants to buy food
in a foreign market, the British naval
blockade closes the sea to him. He sits
on a chair with steel spikes, hands tied
and mouth gagged, while his mind seethes,
solacing its hate with hope through the
long winter months.
If you lived in Kansas and could not get
or newspapers from the nearest town, or
learn whether your son in Wyoming was
alive or dead. or whether the man who
owns your mortgage in New York had
foreclosed or not-well, that's enough
without the German sentry. Only instead
need past that blockade Is bread to keep
you from starving.
Many sob stories have come out of
Belgium. but this is not one. I saw no
one sobbing there; only grim stubborn
ness, endurance, and suffering. Belgium
has been the paradise of purple patch
painters In rhetoric. But 1 could think Of
only simple words like food, life, death,
hate, love and sacrifice. Belgium Is a
house with sealed doors, where a family Of
a cherries hearth, thinking; thinking of
nothing but war and feeling nothing but
war. America opened a window and
slipped a loaf of bread into the empty
larder. Those Belgian soldiers whom I
had seen at Dixmude, wounded, exhaust
side the people waiting at home. They
were in the fight.

Newspapers Growing Better.

No doubt, the terrible experience Of Eu-
rope in the latter part Of 1914 has done
much to create public sentiment against
militarism, but the changed sentiment was
here before the war in Europe came. A
great part OF the credit for thiy healthier
public opinion is unquestionably due to the
American newspapers. The American
newspapers have been wonderfully i'm
proved since the yellow journalism of Is
years ago cast its blight in SO many
quarters.
There are still yellow journals, and there
are still newspapers that are published
for men to read in the street cars and
throw aside the moment they have some
thing else more interesting to do, but the
number of American newspaper that
make an effort to present along with the
latest news of the day a considerable
amount of solid information and carefully
prepared arguments IS steadily increas-
ing, and the patronage that such news
papers receive from readers and adver-
Users shows conclusively that the future
is with newspapers of their kind.
Fifteen years ago there were learned
men who said hat the editorial page of
the daily newspaper was a thing of the
past, but there are not today in the Unit
ed States a half dozen newspapers with
any claim upon circulation or influence
that are not giving more and more atten-
ton to their editorial pages.

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac-
tice Due Economy, and Adopt
Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in deyel-
oping the agricultural of
Western Canada In bringing to the
notice Of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming in
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but 1t has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay Of
capital, either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either a homestead. or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have ac-

Carl Dickan, of Russian Poland lived
in Pittsburgh, Pa. for fourteen years,
and saved up 5000. In 1903 he took
the 5000 with him to Alberta. His own
story is that he bought a quarter sec,
ton, for which he agreed to pay
$1,000. "In 1904 I had thirty acres Of
crop. threshed 900 bushels. In 1909 I
bought another quarter. / now have
one hundred acres under cultivation,
and have never had a crop failure.

wheat per acre, but the average has
been about forty. My oats for the

win there is a partially timbered dis
trict lying between Buck Lake and
Pigeon Lake. All this land is ready
for demonstrating, and judging from a
letter received by a resident there,
this would seem to be an ideal place
for a farmer who desired such sur
roundings. This settler lives on the
shore of Buck Lake, his land is willow
brush, which is easy to clear. Some
of the lumber is good saw timber,
and lots of good logs for buildings can
be had, as well a. rails for fencing.
For wheat growing the soil is excel
lent. Water is easily secured, fishing
is good and plentiful and game is any
thing but scarce. The settlers are
mostly from the United States and
Canada.-Advertisement.

the game between Crosby and Am

The aeroplane flight was not made.
The aviator arrived from the east
with his machine, which was unloaded
just outside of town, where the avi-
ator intended putting it together in
the morning. Some degenerate open

the wheels on which the machine runs
just before leaving the ground. The
thousands who attended the celebra-

the culprit. The aviator was to have
received $500 for his work, but will
not get cent, except his expenses.

M|N0T CITIZENS WORKING ON PLAN
FOR PERMANENT PEACE PALACE
WORLDS PERMANENT PEACE
ASSOCIATION TO BE LAUNCH
THE ARMORY FRIDAY EVEN
ING, JULY 9th.

Some time ago the Secretary of the
Association Of Commerce proposed to
the Board Of Directors the plans for a
Worlds Permanent Peace Association.
After the proposition was discussed a
committee of $50 was appointed to
see if the plan was feasible or not.
About two weeks ago the first meet
ing was held, when twenty-five of the
$50 members were invited to meet
with the Chairman of the $50 COM
mittee and the Secretary. The twen-
ty-tive men endorsed the plan and
then a meeting was called of the $50
and also at that meeting the plan was
unanimously approved of. The general
outline of the plan is that every man,
woman and child can become men,
Der for the sum of ten cents, and as a
symbol Of the Association there will
be held World Peace Exposition in
Minot, on one side of which there will
be buildings showing the horrors of
war and on the other side buildings
showing the tremendous benefits of
peace.
The committee of $50 is headed by
President Shaw and Halvor l.. Halvor-
son and d. S. Hollenga, the originator
of the idea.
With the people of Minot back of
the plan there is no question but that
it will go through and that the city
will be known the world over. Details
Of the gigantic undertaking will be
given in our next issue.

WOULD-BE ASSASSIN SUICIDES.

Holt, the maniac who attempted to
blow up the Senate wing of the ma
tional capitol and who later shot J. P.
Morgan, the eminent finacier, closed
his earthly career by jumping from
his cell at the Mineola jail Tuesday
evening, landing on the pavements so
feet below, his skull being crushed by
the impact. When attendants arrived
it was found that life was extinct.
In letter to his wife at Dallas,
Texas, Holt informed her that he had
placed a bomb aboard a ship that
would clear from New York on July
3rd, and that the bomb was timed to
explode on July 9TH.
The letter was laid before the gov
eminent officials and immediate steps
taken to inform the ships sailing from
New York on that date. AS four
ships left New York on the 3rd, the
wireless messages swept the Atlantic
and fast cruisers were despatched to
warn, or to aid any vessel in. distress.
At latest reports nothing had occur
red to verify the apprehensions felt
and in all probability it will be found
that the letters simply mark another
phase Of the workings of Hollis d.
seased mind.

Farmers Improving Their Places.

Just now in driving thru the coun-
try, you will find many farmers build
ing good, strong, durable wire fences.
There is nothing that will enhance the
value of your farm more than a good
fence. After the crops are taken off
in the fall, the stock can be turned in
and every bit Of the grain cleaned up.
A good wire fence does not really cost
so much. We have an immense lot of
the reliable fencing, all kinds of it,
and will be pleased to make you a
quotation. :.
This is barn building time. Don't
wait until the wintry blasts blow. Why
wait when you are in need of a good,
roomy, warm barn.
Of course you are going to put
screens on your house if you have not
already done so. Don't let the flies
bother you all summer long. Be COM
Portable and save doctors bills.
Screens are cheaper than drugs.
