What are we doing to add to our

community the better for our
living, or have we, by our lives,
proved a detriment to others?
Have we practiced what we
preach2 Have we scolded at
others who have not come up to
our standard of preaching, when
our lives have given to others a
license to do those things which
we have hurled out our anath-

Peter Norbeck was born in Clay

within ten miles of the first permanent
schoolhousc erected in the territory.
His parents Were among the pioneers
and made entry OF a homestead only
a few years after President Abraham
Lincoln opened that part of the terri
tory for settlement. His father was a
Lutheran clergyman aside from being
a farmer, and took great interest In
all questions pertaining not only to
the farm, but also 10 the state and the
church. on account OF his interest In
public affairs the elder Norbeck was
elected to the territorial assembly in
1877, and to the state legislature in

prevented young NOrbeck from getting
a real college education. He had only
a short period at the state university
at Vermillion in addition 10 his com
mon school course. But what he was
lacking in college training was more
than made up in the university OF
many other great Americans who. as
self men, have blazed the trail

When only twelve years of age Mr..
Norbeck became interested in arteslan
well machinery, and when he grew TO
manhood he engaged in the business
kota. With only $50 which he had
borrowed from his father, he started
at the age Of twenty-five on a business
career. Himself and partners now CON
duct the largest artesian well drilling
business in the United States, with
headquarters at Redfeld. Their sue
cess has been wonderful. New meth
DDS and machinery evolved by Mr..
Norbeck and his partners, coupled with
efficiency and organization have made
1t possible for every farmer in the
a constant supply OF water always ut
command, at a small fraction or the
former cost.

soon discovered that he was Interested

state primary election. he was given
the nomination for governor on the

questions bearing upon the success and
prosperity OF the people Of South Da-

specialized on alfalfa.
He stands unswervinPly for the
rights of the people and for all reforms

FORTY-ElGHT COUNTIES
Wade Has Lead in Instructed Votes
Delegates Not Tied Will Control.

Oklahoma City, April Up to nine
o'clock tonight, As counties have re-
ported results of Saturdays conven-
tions. In these counties, Lafayette
has 1876 instructed votes, Wade has
217, and there are 40 uninstructed
votes. 1t now looks like Wade may
have a majority of the instructed
votes, but it is certain that neither
man will go to the convention with
enough delegates to elect him, and
the uninstructed delegates will con-
troll the convention. In each of these
counties where uninstructed delega
tions are sent, the home men have
a candidate for delegate, or for some
other honor, and the success OF La
fayette or Wade may depend upon
the ability of their friends to trade
support with the uninstructed delega-
tions. At any rate, from now until
the state convention is held on April
II, the game of politics will be played
in Oklahoma.
