"FROGGIE" SMITHS NEW PARTY.

'FROGGlE' SMITHS NEW PARIY
George LaFollette Frogestine Smith
has again broken out, and as usual
with him, in new spot. Not sure
whether it's measles or smallpox. In
either case it's sure to be a mild at
tack. For reasons, quite obvious,
George LaFollette couldn't develop a
germ with sufficient strength to catch
a cold. He's against Hanna, Linde,
Treadwell Twichell, the 18th Legisla-
tive Assembly and the Lords Prayer.
His latest spasm is an Industrial Par
ty. This new party is a sort of a
half baked apology to Socialism, pos
sessing none Of its virtues. There need
be no great alarm, however, since
Smith and his kind never tarry long
anywhere nor for anything. He be-
longs to the army of discomfort Such
men can pull down but they can't
build up. Politically they are hot
wind in June and a hail in August.
Given man who lacks depth and
breadth-just surface; innoculate him
with well-developed, Over-worked,
deep-seated crouch, looking the part
perfectly; loan him a stub pencil with
a thought attached, and you have
George LaFollette Frogestine Smith.
He's kind of political crawfsh. He
can, when emergency requires, and
with equal facility, go backward or
forward with both ends of his anat-
omy. In either case he works under
the surface and always-crawls.
There are times when George La
Toilette takes himself seriously. That's
because he totally lacks a sense of hu-
NOR. At such times he reminds us of
tad-pole boldly assuming the pre-
negative and powers of a sperm whale,
feebly attempting to disturb the calm
smooth surface of week old tub of
buttermilk. George LaFollette mag
ines he is churning out "butterfat" or
= terminal elevator" It's a safe bet
that no cooperative creamery would
be caught "asleep at the cross roads"
and buy the rot he attempts to dump
upon a weary and congested home
market.
For the love of Mike, George, get
into something where your talents
would be appreciated and your ener-
gies have full swing. Select job in
which you could pry off smile occas-
ionally; cultivate degree of optim-
ism, believe in your neighbors and be
reasonably happy. We suggest as a
start, sell eggs-goose eggs. Sell
them when the carborated hydrogen is
in full bloom. Great opportunity!
Your country needs you!

SICK-ROOM DON'TS.

Don't allow the sheets to become
wrinkled.
Don't jar the bed by leaning or sit
ting upon it.
Don't allow stale flowers to remain
in the room.
Don't appear anxious. People who
are i'll are very sensitive.
Don't rattle papers. Nothing gets
on a patients nerves more than this.
Don't have a carpet in the sickroom
if it can be avoided. Rugs are better
Don't shut out light from the sick
room when the patient is able to tol-
crate it. Make the sickroom the most
cheerful and best ventilated room in
the house.
Don't let bad air remain in the sick
room. Pure air is imperative. Avoid
air from the kitchen or clothes closets
Outside air is best, but beware OF
drafts. Pure air and direct sunlight
are our best disinfectants.
Don't neglect screens to shade the
light from the eyes of the patient.
Don't neglect the means to tempt ar
invalid's appetite. Dainty service and
delicate china will often do this.
Don't forget to vary the seasoning
of food according to the condition Of
the patient.
Don't give the patient toast that has
not been put in the open oven first ant
then toasted. It improves the TASTE
and digestibility.
Don't let the patient suffer for {
cooling drink when one can be givel
safely.
Don't, always, bring flowers to in
valids; a few are better than many il
any case.
Don't open the window at the bot
tom only; open at the top, too.
Don't talk too much, either in or GU
of the sickroom.
Don't be fussing and doing thing
all the time, invalids need rest as wei
as care.
Don't argue with the sick; tact will
get you out of many difficulties.
Don't appear peeved when thing
are not going just right; ray of sun
shine is far better.
Don't indulge in forebodings of evil
plant seeds of hope and watch for tn
spring blossoms.

There are rumors of another daily
newspaper starting in this city. The
Optic and Reporter were consolidated
some months ago but there are some
who consider that the field is large
enough for two daily newspapers. One
daily newspaper in Minot ought to
prove a good thing, but until our city
is larger, there is not business enough
for two. If the new publication starts,
it will simply mean the Survival of
the filter"

The express companies, in order to
cope with the parcel post, will engage
in the fruit and dairy business. Ar
rangements are now being made for
one express company to ship a nice
box of oranges to any address in the
United States for dollar. Another
company will deal in butter and eggs,
delivering to the consumers choice
produce at reasonable prices. The ex-
press companies are resourceful, to
say the least.

NOTE THIS COMPARISON.

In this issue will be found some in
teresting figures showing the develop
ment of Northwestern North Dakota
and the Second National Bank, which
has grown apace with the country.
The old Great Northern Bank, now
the Second National, was organized in
1898, seventeen years ago, and was
the only bank in Ward county at that
time, we believe. According to the
statement of the institution March
18th, 1898, the deposits amounted to
only $4O,311.85. According to the last
statement, the deposits have reached
the enormous sum of $1,195, 1864
The other comparisons will prove in
teresting.

There are not as many foreclosures
on Ward county land as there used to
be and in way this speaks well for
the improvement in the agricultural
conditions. We remember not a great

sales were held at the court house at
Minot in one day. Not so very long
ago, an average of twenty a week was
considered just ordinary. We under
stand that twenty or whereabouts have

In answer to an inquiry, we will
state that Andrew Miller was at one
time an official of the state Of North
Dakota in the capacity of Attorney
General. He had Senatorial aspira-
lions which came to naught and he is
now living in a secluded retreat in
Bismarck. Scarcely ever may his
name be found in the papers.

We don't believe that one single
member Of the legislature is familiar
with all of the laws passed during the
last session. This would be practical
ly impossible, considering that some
eight or nine hundred different bills
were introduced and between three
and four hundred became laws. If the
legislators themselves are not aware
Of all Of the bills that were passed,
how in the world are all of the people

leisure.

Those who have found it necessary To
mortgage their land, are in better
condition to take care Of their debts.
They are making money more surely
The farmers have mortgage filters
and they are reducing their indebted
ness. Soon they will be the money
lenders. True, many lost their farms
thru reverses in times past, but all of
these foreclosures do not mean Just SO

none of them addicted to drink.

an untiring worker ever after in the
defense of home He was prominent
as a harmonizer among his fellow
men in business life and often in the
homes. He was given the name OF
peace-maker, by Mrs. J. c. Aldrich.
He acquired one thousand and two
acres of land, and the wonder Of it
is there never was a mortgage on
any part of it but some times he had
to borrow money the second time to
make one payment. His knowledge
nf the nrincinles of spiritualism was
firm. He affirmed the existence Of
supreme intelligence, or soul
force in the universe. Also that
this soul force is omnipresent and
the source of life visible and invisible

DANGER IN FACE POWDER.

Some preparations of face-powder
are the cause of Inflammation of the
eyes. This form of Inflammation oc-
curs-from obvious reasons almost
exclusively in women. They will COM
plain that the vision is blurred; that
they cannot read or sew for any
length of time; that the lids burn
and itch, sometimes intolerably, and
that rubbing the lids only aggravates
the itching. The reason for this is
that many of these toilet powders
commonly known as "rice powder
or "Poudre de Rix" contains in addi-
tion to the rice powder, other ingre-
dients which irritate the delicate
membrane of the eye. Sixteen
samples of so-called rice powders
were recently analysed, and of this
number only two consisted entirely
of, rice; and only six contained any
rice at all. Women who are accus-
toned to using face powder should
be careful to select only those pre-
parations which are known to be
pure, and free from harmful sub
stitutes. In applying powder to the
face, it is much safer to use a cloth
and rub the powder on the skin
rather than to apply it with puff,
as by the latter method the powder
is driven upward and lodges on the
moist eye-ball. The tears change il
into a mucilaginous substance which
lodges behind the eye-lids, and pro-
duces the symptoms complained Of
Since toilet articles do not come un
der the federal and state food ant
drug acts, they can easily be adulter'
ated. Rice flour purchased at gro
Gerry would. says The Journal of ths
American Medical Association, re
move this particular danger.

Not a Robber or Cheat.

We know that the average consumer
does not feel that his local merchant is
robber or cheat; but. like all hu-
mankind. the catalogues and prices of
mail order houses appeal to him, and
he forwards his order and cash with
out considering the injustice he is do
ing himself, his merchant and his
home town.
The catalogues OF the mail order
house are ilumined with pictures to
catch the eye of the unwary They
range in complexion from a brunette
banana to blond canary bird. They
offer to sell you anything from phi
losopher's stone to a cypress shingle
sawed out of a sunbeam.
Cash Versus Credit.
1t seems unbelievable. but it is new
ertheless a fact. showing the entire
lack of any sense of justice. that many
people regard their local stores as
merely institutions of accommodation
When these people have cash to spend
At goes to the faraway mail order
houses. but when times are dull. when
they are sick or out of work or during
the season when farmers are not turn
ing their produce into cash. what do
they do? Do they write to the cata-
logue house and ask for credit?
If they did do you think they would
get it? Not on your life. Those con
Germs must have cash. must have it in
| advance. must have it before you can
even see the goods you buy. The con
! sumer sends his money and then sits
down and waits until the mail order
house gets good and ready to fill his
order.
But when home people want credit
or favors Of any kind they hustle Oh
to their home merchant. very obliging
! ly order what they want and tell him
to charge it. expecting him to wait al
least from one to six months for his
pay.
Dealing With Neighbors.
In buying from your home merchants
you deal with neighbors. Buy will

ticles of food, no family will get
along on one pint of milk every
other day as one man present stat
ed many of his Customers were in
the habit of doing. Mr.. Aitken be-
lieves that there is little danger of
over production of pure bred cat
tie, for at the present time only 1k
per cent. of all dairy cows are pure
bred.
The Holstein-Friesian cow is by
far the most efficient machine when
it comes to the production of milk
and butter. And apparently she has
not yet reached her highest develop
ment. At the present time the worlds
record cow is a Holstein that has
produced over 1400 lbs. of butter in
365 days, but within a short time
another Holstein COW will have com
pleted years record with over 1900
lbs. of butter to her credit,
During his speech, Mr.. Aitken
made the significant statement that
man can place siA pure bred huif-
ers on farm Of eighty acres and
after selling all male calves he can
have herd of females at the end of
six years that will be worth more
money than his eighty acre farm. The
members of the local organization feel
very gratefu, to Mr.. Aiken fo.
coming to Wauseon and everyone who
heard him felt well repaid. Besides
breeders from all parts Of the coun-
ty, there were breeders present from
MDicnci, Sylvania, Toledo ard Per-

over fifty members and it is the aim
to double this number before spring
