CLEAN UP.

DR.. Strauss, city health coma mis-.
sioner, should be given the support Of
the citizens in his crusade to remove
all refuse where flies breed and YER
min thrive. A clean city is worth
striving for. Considerable progress
has been made in cleaning up some
Of the worst vacant lots and back
yards, but there is still much loom,
"
for improvement. Is
Everybody clean up or the city may
do the Job for you.

a Galley O. Fun!
AN AFrER.D1NNER SPEECH.

AN AFTER-DlNNEN
I cannot do less than rise, though
i'm taken by surprise; supposed tnat
was out of sight and reach over mere
behind the table; but | find ! am un-
able to escape the usual summons ZOE
a speech. a@Es. ,.
Mr., Secretary, and he casually IN
CURED if l could preach. l said, NO,
but I could practise; then ne saio:
"The Solemn fact is, at our banquet
you'll be called on for a speech! 1
protested, on the spot, that ia ratnea
far be shot, that it would make lle
blush as scarlet as a peach, that my
tongue would catch and stutter, ana
my legs grow weak and totter, II l
tried to stand up here and make a
speech.
"Well," said he, then write a poem
that is so compact and SO imaginative
write a madrigal on pork; write a.
bread-and-butter ballad; write a
sonnet upon salad; write of Mary's
little lamb-chops on a fork! Write a
homily on hash; write a song on sue
tcotash; write a parody on pickles IN a
can! Write a paean on potatoes;
write a treatise on tomatoes; write an
epic on an epicurean. Write an idyl
to frogs legs; write a chant to
scrambled eggs; write.a soul-inspiring
anthem to a ham! Write a pastoral
to baked beans, or to cabbages or
green's; write a delicate cantata to a
clam" '-'''. .1 800 ",.
"Thanks," said I; II really should
like to do it if l could; I would gladly
sing the praises of the bean; I would
write a lobster lyric or a frying pane
gyric, or all olio on oleomargarine.
But, dear me! ! haven't time for a
|couplct or a rhyme in this fragrant
apotheosis of meat. I'm afraid Of pots
and kettles, and I do not care for
v~ictuals; and any time I'd rather work
than eat. But" said I, "Ill do my
duty; I will join the ranks OF beauty,
with a dainty bib and tucker upon
each, and III be a pretty waiter, and
industriously cater to the chaps who
are obliged to make a speech"
So he said he couldn't refuse me;
if too busy, he'd excuse me; and l
thanked him that my jaded muse he
spared. That was only Friday morn,
ing. Now the president, without warm
ing, calls upon me when I'm wholly
u%nprepared.
l am sorry, but. between us, by the
shade of old Silenus, BY the spooks OF,
all the cooks that've passed away.
by the ghost Of this dead chicken,
whose backbone I have been pickin'-
l can't think OF a single word to say.

Beaver relished his meal and is again
feeling as clipper as the proverbial
:2.year.old~ behind abanc -of~mu-
sic, due to the life predicting proper
ties of prime North Dakota corn.
Thos. Anderson OF Minot. the genial
grain elevator company auditor. was
at the North Dakota building this
week. He was most welcome, for he
brought the news that the land men
Of North Dakota were receiving four
times the inquiries for land this year
as compared to those of the last five
years. Mr.. Anderson was much pleas
ed with the fine exhibits Of grains and
grasses in the North Dakota building,
and said he had heard about the eX-
hibit all along the road out here from
people who had visited the exposition
and we're On their way homo.

the specifications was known TO him
at the time he made his bid on the
state printing. c-i 44f,-7 .
Delay Disastrous 71ooil,.
The secretary Of state was again
called to the stand and this time he
testified that the publication Of the
blue book would be delayed four
months if competitive bids on the
work should now be called for.
Mr.. Knight was recalled in his
own behalf and he testified that all
of the type set from the copy furnish
ed him for the 1915 blue book would
be a loss if competitive bids should
be called for.
Mr.. Ko1el at this point suggested
that knight might possibly get the
contract on the bid basis.
The defendant then rested.
Dummer's Experience.
Nr. Drummer was recalled in his
own behalf and testified that he call
| ed at the office of the secretary Of
state in March and notified John An
drews, the deputy secretary of state,
that he desired to bid on the blue
book. Mr.. Andrews, he testified, as
sured him that nothing was to be
done in the blue book matter until
July first, that no copy was ready at
that time and that nothing had been
done on the blue book as yet"
He further testified that the hrst
copy for the 1913 blue book was de-
livered to him on April 26, 1918, the
last copy in August of that year and
the book was ready for delivery the
early part of November.
The plaintiff at this time rested.
Legislative Intent.
When the taking of testimony was
concluded the time for arguing the
case was agreed upon and arguments
will be heard Saturday morning at 10
o'clock.
The court stated that it was his
first impression that it was clearly
the intention of the legislature that
all public printing be let out by com
petitive bids and only in exceptional
cases should this rule not be followed
He further stated that in cases where
such printing was not let by contract
on the competitive bid basis the mat
ter might be questioned with 1mpun'
ity.
Why the Exception?
One point made by Mr.. Hall in ex
planning why the blue book printing
was not included in the five classes
of state printing in the specifications
for this biennial period but is on the
other hand specifically excepted
therefrom vas this: That the pur
pose of the exception was to make II
plain that the blue book was not IN.

Expo Notes

The state of North Dakota has been
we'll represented at the exposition
| thus far, over 1900 people from our
| state registering at the North Dakota
building. This does not include those
who were former residents of the
| state, either.
Beaver, the champion PAGER at the
exposition, calls for good corn. Sat

season was pulled off at the San Fran
cisco Exposition race track. 1t was
the 2:07 pace, and Beaver a Canadi.

sons will accompany the governor to
San Francisco, arriving here Sunday,
the goth.
Among the prominent North DakO.
tans who have visited the North Da,
kota building the past week are:
Messrs. and Mesdames Richard New
ell and w. j. Poole of Forest River
and w. p. Butler Of Oakes. They all
report crop conditions as being the
very best in good old North Dakota,
and therefore are taking more pleas
ure in seeing the sights here at the
exposition.
A number of North Dakota farmers
have been visiting the North Dakota
building during the past week, owing
to the fact that seeding is over and
they can get away for a few weeks,
They are taking in the exposition in
a systematic manner and very little
escapes their interested notice. They
say that the North Dakota building
and its fine exhibits of farm produce
look as good to them as anything
they have seen on the grounds.
Due to the eXertion or from some
other cause this pampered prince OF
the horse kingdom went off his feed
the following day, and after his groom
had tried every delicacy known tc
equines, the owner came to the North
Dakota building and coaxed John
Freyberger, who has charge of the
grain and grass exhibit in the build
ing, for a feed of the celebrated
North Dakota corn. OF course, Johr
was only too glad to save the valu
able horses life and selected some o.

WITH US,

Bismarck is the mecca of North
Dakota bankers today. The Capital
City extends them a hearty welcome
and will show the men who boost the
state in and out of season one of the
most progressive cities in North Da.
kota.
1t is the center of the North Da.
kota corn belt.
Ideal drainage and excellent water
make 1t one Of the healthiest cities in
the state. Probably no city of it's
size has a lower death rate per cap
ita.
Two transcontinental railroads are
represented In the city, with several
branches tapping n Of the most fer
tile and diversified sections of the
state.
A system Of freight transports ply
up and down the Missouri river, car
rying thousands of tons Of wheat
coal and other commodities. Bismarck
has the exceptional advantage Of a
river traffic that has its effect in max
ing lower freight rates.
Near its boundaries, at Wilton, Is
the largest Ignite coal mine probably
in the world. This and other mines
insure cheap fuel in an abundance.
To the west is a large brick and pot
terry industry. Other enterprises could
be mentioned, but these will be suffi-
cient to impress upon the bankers
the commercial Importance of Bis
marck.
The fact that it is tho political
nerve center Of the state often OBJ
scures the solid foundation upon
which its prosperity is based.
Bismarck is glad to show its re-
sources and to open wide its gates to
the men of the state who have done
as much as any other class to develop
North Dakota. Their business judy
ment has assisted in intoxicating les.
SOM of thrift; their faith in the state
- Nf..F ' ..a
has attracted others TO invest capital
here.
The people are often prone to mis-
take the function of a bank and bank
ers in a community. Few men as a
class are so united in promoting the
best interests Of their respective
communities. The banker is usually
the first man consulted when any en-
terprise, civic or financial, is contem-
plated. His, cooperation is necessary
for success and it is usually given un-
g%rudgingly.
Years ago bankers lost their sig
nifcance as mere money changers and
dealers in negotiable paper. They
are now business experts willing to
advise their patrons freely. In rural
communities they have taken an in
terest in the better farming move
ment. They not only preach better
stock, Investigation, rotation and
other cardinal principles of agricul-
ture, but in many instances set the
example themselves.
This state and this nation owes
much to the bankers.
bismarck hopes their visit will be
. pleasant one.

thirds of the populace of Mexico for
