HOW DO YOU RES

If you swing a heavy sledge
all day. take your exercise
rest yourself-by doing some.
thing that will make you for
get the sledge.
If you grind at a desk or
counter all day, take your ex-
ercise, your rest-by doing
something that will make you
forget the desk or counter
grind.
If you earn your bread and
butter by thinking-mow the
lawn.
If it's your work to push a
lawn mower-do something
that will make you think.
If a man has a job at being
happy, it will rest him to be
solemn. If a man has a solemn
job, it will rest him to laugh.
The little lady who makes
high priced gowns for richer
folk, can find rest looking at
flowers in the woods. The man
who works in the woods or
fields is rested by looking at
the pretty dresses in the city
show windows.
If your work compels you to
wear a red coat, sneak away
once in a while and put on a
blue coat.
A change, that's the cure
that's the EXERCISE we all
need.
This is nothing new we are
telling you, but it's something
we don't think about enough,
the same as We don't think
enough about a lot of little
things which are really i'm
pOrtant.

Last Sunday while Ward
Johnston was leading a bull
back into the barn from the
watering trough the animal
jerked the stick which was
fastened to a ring in its nose,
out of Wards hands knocking
him down and stunning him
and then rolled him clear out
of the barn where Roy Scott
who was near by came to the
rescue armed with a AKA, which
was the only weapon at hand,
and succeeded in clubbing the
brute off but just as soon as
Roy picked Ward up the brute
made another attack and was
dubbed off again. He finally
got Ward into the house where
medical aid was given and al

WATCH OUT FOR TAKERS

North Dakota will this fall
be one of the attractive fields
on the continent for the legiti-
mate business man. The peo-
pie will be we'll supplied with
money, and they will be large
purchasers of everything that
goes to make life worth living.
Because of this condition the
state will also be an attractive
place for the professional faker.
There is no line Of legitimate
human endeavOr which has not
been prevented to the use of
scoundrel. Gold mining is a
perfectly legitimate business,
and often a very profitable one;
but people have been victimiz
ed by so many bogus mining
schemes that it would be very
difficult today to sell stock in a
perfectly sound and legitimate
mining enterprise.
But, while the gold mining
swindle is no longer popular,
new swindles are being invent
ed every year. and some of the
old ones are occasionally re-
vived. A few "Don'ts' may
be useful:
Don't sign papers for or pay
any money to strangers under
any pretext.
Don't invest in enterprises
that promise enormous profits.
People are not giving big pro-
fits away.
Don't neglect, when in doubt,
to ask the advice of your local
merchant or banker. These

Mo sane person believes that sex was an accident in the creative
N scheme. Man and woman were created with their special func-
lions to perform. which at the outset preclude them from engag-
ing in the same activities and assuming similar responsibilities.
IF WOMAN is TO BE MERELY AN IRRESPONSIBLE ELE-
MENT IN THE ELECTORATE THE STRUCTURE OF GOVERN
GIVING HER THE BALLOT. If she is to be a responsible elector,
then she must qualify herself to vote wisely, not only upon questions
classified by the sufragits as municipal housekeeping" but also upon
questions Of grave public interest concerning finance. international dis
putea, tariff. etc., and she will be able to do this only by entering the
school where men acquire such knowledge-through the experience Of
their daily work out in the world.
There is no question but that the whole social structure of our state
will be weakened in this attempt to equalize and identify the activities
and responsibilities Of the two sexes.

HELD FOR PRIZE COURT.
British Government Seizes Cargo OF
American Steamer, Wilhelmina.

London, Feb. 90 The British govern
ment announced yesterday that it had
decided that the cargo OF the American
steamer Wilhelmna should be held for
the decision of the prize court.
This announcement was made by Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign sec
rotary. Ii seems to make clear the pur-
pose of Great Britain to declare all food
stuffs for Germany contraband as well
as to foreshadow other reprisals. In
his note Sir Edward Grey after review
ing the German methods of warfare and
them as absolute violation OF
all international usages says:
IF, therefore, his maiesty's govern
ment should hereafter feel constrained
to declare foodstuffs absolute contraband
or to take other measures for interfering
with German trade by way of reprisals.
they confidently expect such action will
not be challenged on the part OF the
neutral states, by appeals TO laws and
usages. of war whose validity rest ON
their forming an integral part of that
system of international doctrine, which
as whole their enemy frankly boasts
the contention to disregard, 50 long as
such neutral states cannot compel the
German government to abandon meth
DDS of warfare which have in recent
history been regarded as having the
sanction of either law or humanity"

SOME SMALL GAINS
BY ALLIES IN WEST
The Russians Haul Up New
Heavy Siege Guns to BE
Used in Assault on Austri-
an Stronghold of Przemysl
Which Has Made Success
full Resistance Month Aft
er Month

In an attempt to force the Dardanelles
the gate to Constantinople, French and
British warships began bombardment
of the Turkish fortifcations yesterday
which are being continued to-day. The
present movement evidently is the most
formidable which has been made in an
effort to force way through the Darda-
nelles.
The fighting in France and Belgium
apparently is increasing in severity. To-
days official reports from Paris and Ber-
lin show that the French attempted TO
break through the German line at two
points toward the eastern end and that
the Germans made an assault on the
trenches of the allies in Belgium without
efaecting important results in any case.
The Germans claim the capture of two
towns in the Vosges.
A new attack has been begun by the
Russians on the fortified Galician city OF
Przemysl, whose resistance of the besieg-
ers month after month has been one of
the striking features Of the campaign in
the east The Russians are reported to
have brought up new heavy siege guns
for the assault Elsewhere in Galicia,
according to unofficial advioes, the Rus
SLAMS have gained measure of success,
especially near Dukla, where the Aus
TRANS are said to have suffered heavy
losses the last few days.
From English sources, il is reported
that the Russians have formed a line
along the Pruth river in Bukowina and
that a new battle is developing. THIS
conflicts with recent statements that the
Austrisns succeeded in clearing BukoW-
ina of Russians.
In northern Poland, as far as the Ger
man accounts show, the pursuit Of the
Russians is continuing. London believes,
however, that the German rush into hos
tile territory has been stayed.
