EACH TREATED IN ORDER

Each of the above subjects was talk en up in order and given severe ar ralngment. MT. Bryan s;lid the differ ent gods of evil that he named were responsible for all the vice and rotten ness in the world and that as a matter of fact the entire lot resolved them selves into one god, known as self ' At no time did he reach any of the flights of oratory for which lie is famed.
 He waxed eloquent only when he came upon the Evil God of Drink. He devoted more time to this subject .than all the other eight evils combined When he began his tirade against the Evil God of Travel. he made some few exceptions and finished by saying that it would benefit a man more to go to China and spend one day in learning the customs of the people of matter for a solid year on the same question.
 Tt would profit man more to go to Japan and spend one day for the cultiva- tion of his mind on the habits and cus- toms of these people than to stay at home and read books upon the subject for one solid year." he said. Tt would profit a man more to visit the Ganges river and learn more about the worship of false gods in one day than if he stayed home and read about the same subject for a solid year. He dwe't at length upon the difference between the man who travelled for the sake of learning and the one who travelled for the mere sake of travelling. slight litter ran through the audience when Mir. Bryan closed upon this subject by saying:
 When my wife and I planned triI around the world some years ago, we be- thought us of the different missionaries that might be of great value to us in learning about the peoples to whom they were teaching the gospel.' burst of ap- plause followed when he remarked that he found that the sun never sets upon the various missions for the redemption of the souls of the foreigners throughout the globe.

NO DEMONSTRATIONS

There was noticeable lack of enthusi- astic outbursts of applause on the part of the audience and he Was interrupted but twice by the clapping of hands in ap- proval of his remarks. Upon his intro- duction he received an ovation that lasted several minutes. When he came to the subject of the Evil God of Drink he warmed up perceptibly and went at the demon rum with hammer and tongs. While no reference was made to Presi- dent Wilson in his lecture he took up the cudgel of rum and preparedness and used it numerically in his argument that was evidently expected to have some bearing on the main plank in the forth coming presidential election.
 When a man takes up a subject and has few adherents,'' he said, "he is branded a fanatic. When he has con- verted a great many to his cause, he is immediately called an enthusiast. When he finally has the masses at his back and the people thinking as he does, he is pro- claimed a hero. And many a man has been known a fanatic and has gone down to his death rather than give up his ideas which in some instances were so far ahead of the minimizing that they coudl not grasp them. It is far better to go down to death fighting for a principle that you know is right than to live and

BANK DEPOSITS INDICATE
STATE PROSPERITY

1t is one thing to prophesy that
conditions will be good but the
real proof is in the results. We
have been saying for a year that
North Dakota is prosperous and
that she is one of the best states
i'm the Union and now bank fig
ures come along and prove that
We have been right. Bank deposits
all over North Dakota are high,
AS an example, the report of the
Banks at Grand Forks may be
quoted.
Grand Forks bank deposits a
year ago We're $3,)67,6 $50 and they
now are $4,O0l,3l9.
Total resources of the bank
have increased about 100000 in
the same period.
Bankers regard this showing
as very remarkable, particularly
in view Of the fact that so many
sections of the United States have
a far different story to tell so far
as deposits are concerned, and
they also maintain that the Grand
Forks condition is about the same
as it is elsewhere in North Dako-
Ia.

the NURSES ASSOCIATION

The annual meeting of the
North Dakota State Nurses Asso-
ciation' was held at Grand Forks,
April 9th and 28th. 1t was large
ly attended and was full of inter-
esting features from start to
finish. For a young Organization
il has attained an enviable posi-
ton among the good health fac
tors of our commonwealth. AS an
instance of the influence which it
yields, during the last session of
the legislature it had introduced
a bill creating a board of Nurse
Examiners for the registration
and regulation of graduated nur-
SEES and other matters pertaining
to their profession, and had the
satisfaction of seeing it become a
law.
A resolution to accept the in
vitation from the North Dakota
AMi-TuberculOsis Association to
affiliate with them was unani-
mously adoped. This will give the
president of the Nurses Associa-
ton position on the Executive
committee and will also give the
right to vote on all questions to
members of said Nurses AssOcia-
ton.

q. N. PERMITS FARM
ING OF RIoHT.oF.WAY

Through special arrangement
farmers may now get permission
from the Great Northern Railway
to cultivate and plant the railway
right-of-way adjoining their
lands. This right-of-way has been
unsightly waste land in many
places and it is hoped that by
farming it, not only will increas-
ed production result, but that a
more slightly farming country
will meet the gaze of the summer
tourist on his way to the big fair.

letter is given out by Great Nor

kota headquarters of the road in

DISCOVERING CORN MEAL

The war i'm Europe is likely to
teach the Europeans the value of
corn meal as human food. The
demand for it has already boosted
the price of corn i'm the Ameri-
can markets, and it is likely to
boost it still higher. This is
unfortunate for the domestic
consumers of corn bread and boil
ed mush, but there will be COM
pensations. After the war is
over the Europeans have eaten
conr will continue to eat it, and
the fields of waving corn on the
American farms will be trans
formed into gold mines. The
yellow kernels will CLINT with the
real luster of wealth. But even
though corn meal is dearer than
it was few weeks ago, it is still
cheaper than wheat -four. Nee
essity may teach some American
that they can reduce, the cost of
living, even now, by using more
corn meal. And that will be an
other form which the compensa-
ton will manifest itself.

that Mrs. Alice Nelson Page, one
of the prominent suffrage work.
ers of the state, is the candidate
for president of the North Dako-

ton to succeed the late Mrs.
Clara l.. barrow Of Fargo.
There are a number of pro-
minent workers over the state
mentioned as the new head of the
work, but there seems to be a
disposition to let Mrs. Darrow's
mantle fall upon the shoulders of
Mrs. Page, if the latter will &C
cept. She is splendidly equipped
for the work and extremely en-
thusiastic.

RESOLUTIONS FOR A GOOD

The following resolutions which
originally appeared in the Cando
Herald were favorably discussed
at the recent meeting of the Group

which was held at Grand Forks
early in May. The sentiments ex-
pressed may we'll be adopted by
every citizen of our state.

ing that will not have time to
knock. That will vote, talk and
work for bigger, better and
cleaner town. That will help to
make this a good town SO that the
town can make good. That I will
increase the value of my proper
ty by improving It's appearance.
That Twill say something good
about this town every time | write

ney here where I made it and
where | can watch it. That | will
not point out the towns defects
to stranger, nor fail to point

and my buildings repaired as a
matter Of pride and profit. That I
will brag about this town so much
that | will have to work for this
town in order to keep from being

right now to pick up the odds and
ends around the place and turn
them into use, money or ashes.
That l will contribute as much
money as can afford and as much
enthusiasm as anybody to any
movement to develop the towns
resources. That ! will make

man, or with the town folks. if a
farmer, and help work together
for the good of the community of
which this town is the center.

CHECK BOOK ACCOUNTING

Farmers who do most of their
business by check on, with little
effort keep a very satisfactory &C
count of the total farm receipts
and expenses. Two things are es-
sential for the success of this
method:
First. All money received
from any source, whether i'm cash
or by check, should be deposited
in the bank. By doing this the re-
cord of deposits will give the en-
tire farm income. Most import
ant of all, it insures against any
moneys being spent without a
check or stub to show for it..
Second. When drawing checks
care should be used to state for
what purpose drawn. In this way
the check stub will give an item
lied account of the farm expend-
itures.
Under this system, checks for
money for personal use are drawn
in the same way as for any other
purpose. At times the purchase of
minor articles for farm use will
require cash when the amount is
so small that it is not desirable to
use a check; therefore, to have an
exact record memorandum Of
the farm items which are paid
out of the money checked out for
personal use is needed. That is,
these items should be charged to
the farm, but they are really paid
out of the pocket money which is
charged on the check book to the
personal account.
A memorandum of produce ex-
changed for groceries is also nee
essary, as there is no cash trans
action in such cases.
In using this system it is bet
ter to have large book of checks,
which, if the farm business is of
moderate size, the banker will
gladly furnish with the checks
numbered and the owners name
printed on them. A check book Of
this kind will generally last for a
year, thus the advantage of 4av-
ing all the accounts in one book.
This check book system as an aid
to keeping financial accounts on
the farm is very simple and will
prove valuable to a large number
of men whose business is adapted
to it.
