The following from the San Fran
cisco Examiner of June 70 shows the
kind of publicity North Dakota is get
ting from our state building and ex-
hibit at the Panama-Pacific exposition
at San Francisco. No wonder the real
estate men report a great increase OF
inquiries for farm lands, when the
great papers Of the west devote front
page space to articles of this kind:
. Yesterday was North Dakota day at
the exposition, and in observance of
the occasion the governor Of that north
ern granary state, Louis Benjamin Han
ma, planted a North Dakota ash tree on
the lawn in front of North Dakota's
building at the exposition.
When it grows from an exposition
sapling to the tree it ought to be If
suspicious planting counts for aught,
it will throw it's shade on the beach
of which swings the Golden Gate, for
North Dakota's state building has one
of the most commanding marine views
to be seen at the exposition.
At the conclusion of the tree plant
ing ceremony Governor Hanna was
presented with a casket Of jewels
from the Tower of Jewels. M. H. de
Young, vice president of the exposi-
ton, presented the jewels and extend
ed to the governor of North Dakota
the official welcome or the exposition
directorate
John Paulson, vice chairman of the
North Dakota commission to the ex-
position, was chairman of the day.
The plaza in front of the building
was packed with an enthusiastic au-
dience which assembled half an hour
before the hour set for the appear
ance Of the governor and his staff.
Mrs. Hanna was given an ovation
when she appeared.
Mrs. Hanna and the other members
of Governor Hanna's party occupied
seats upon the platform, and made an
attractive picture. Besides Vice Pres
ident de Young, Governor Hanna and
Commissioner PaulsOn, the other

lied and drilled and details of the
work and administration 20 on with
out jar. Mr.. Patterson has given
special attention to ,ne organizing of
his force, and has high-class people
with him. Among them we may men
ton Mr.. Elder, his assistant, who
comes of one of the best known fam
lilies in Kansas. Mr.. Elder is a vet
eran Of the Spanish American war,
and is skilled in the directing of men,
He finds plenty to keep him employed
while with this big show Mrs. Elder,
who is a skilled horsewoman, does
some wonderful riding in the ring of
Mr.. Patterson's big wild animal show.
She learned to ride on Kansas farm,
and has taken the part from pure love
! of it as recreation. The cream col,
| ored horse she rides is valued at
$4,000.
Mr.. Patterson is still young man,
! but has grown wealthy following the
| business Of Snowman to which he
takes naturally. He possesses admin
istrative gifts of the very highest
| character, and makes a favorable i'm
preston upon all with whom he comes
in contact. There are many who are
convinced that he is destined to be-
come one of the greatest showmen
America has ever produced-to take
rank with such remarkable men as
Barnum and Forepaugh. He has al
ready distanced every competitor in
the carnival field, possessing an out
fit and an aggregation which by rea-
son of it's bigness, neWness and CLASH
ness gives it a field by itself and the
first call from the largest centers and
most appreciative communities.
Mr.. Patterson is short stocky
man, clean shaven, about forty
years of age. The reader of character
i sees in him the elements of general
ship. He is man who could COM
mand an army, build a railroad, or
dig canal. Wherever he goes he
makes steadfast friends, who are
keen to have him come again. He can
be called constructive Snowman in
that the popularity and patronage &C
corded his shows increases with each
visit. This is something that can be
said Of few amusement enterprises.
Originally the carnival company
; as the people know them was made
up of numerous small shows, each one
conducted by it's personal owner. To
a considerable degree, Mr.. Patterson
has eliminated this system from his
enterprise. Of the 20 shows which he
J has this season he owns the big wild
animal show and circus, the big annex
of curiosities, the magnificent $500
swing, the Ferris wheel and the
: new and thrilling motordrome

ONE SUICIDE A MONTH
approximately the Record in Shawnee
County for Three Years

Suicides in Shawnee county are few
er than in other counties of the same
population, according to a report of
Coroner J. H. Rinehart. There have
been 33 deaths by suicide in the coun-
ty since January, 1912. Two-thirds of
them were men and all were white
persons.
Causes of suicide are given as dis
appointment in love affairs, the use of
drugs or drink, and high living. A
large proportion of the men become
tired of the responsibility of caring for
a wife and children. The majority of
women kill themselves on account of
unfortunate love affairs.
The average number of suicides for
the three years is about the same,
showing that suicide is not Increasing
in Shawnee county. -
The methods of suicide show pOiS-
oning in a majority of cases. Shooting
is second, hanging third, cutting
Threats and drowning are tied for
fourth place. Seventeen persons, or
about One-half, took poison.

THE Lusitanias officers must have

about five minutes. Forty minutes
later the torpedo struck.

life belts to passengers as long as they
lasted, taking one myself. Then

Soon afterwards L saw a lifeboat
break from the davits and fall into

the little boat and battered it to bits.
One of the men was cut to pieces be-
