Demand for Burdick
as Speaker Insistent--
Whirlwind Campaign to
Be on Next z Weeks

Williston, N. D., June 10.-U. l..
Burdicl. the Williston candidate for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor, is in demand in all sections Of the
state as speaker at farmers gather
ings. Practically every date from now
until the primary election on June %
has been filled and more than half the
invitations received at the offices OF
the Burdick for Governor club here
have to be refused because Of previous
engagements.
This week Mr.. Burdick has spoken
before the United Commercial Travel
ers at Minot, and at farmers gather
ings In Powers Lake, and several
points in Bottineau county. Today he
will address large gathering of Ben
son county farmers at Harlow. Mr.
Burdick will speak at points In Cava-
lier county on June IL and 13: and on
June IL, Is and 16 he will fill dates
In Dickey, LaMoure and Richland
counties. On June IL, he will return
to his home county for an address
before gathering of eastern Williams
county farmers at Tioga.
On June 19, begins the big swing
around the state which Mr.. Burdick
will make in special train which will
be furnished by his friends in Willis

scented q united front in civic and state

affairs, but never before has it been
so united on any subject as the candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Burdick. The people of
Williston feel that If Mr.. Burdick were
known in all sections Of the state as
he is known here at home, there would
be no question Of the result of the
primaries, June 28.
In an effort to present Mr., Burdick
to the voters of the state that they may
become acquainted with the cleanest
and most capable man who has arisen
in North Dakota politics for many
years, the people of the city and the
surrounding community have planned
the special train. Demands for
reservations are in excess of the ac-
commodations and the train will be
entirely financed by the friends Of Mr..
Burdick who travel on the train, each
paying his proportion of the total cost
Of the trip. 1t is believed that the
cost to each passenger for the weeks
trip will be about $50. and while there
will be a greater local demand than
can be satisfied, every attempt viii be
made to take care of Mr. Burdick's
friends in other cities who will want
to make the trip. Requests for
reservations on the train sent to the
Williston Burdick for Governor club
will be filled in the order received and
as many as possible will be given
places on the trip.

some tribute should be paid to the pio-
neer women who held the men at it
during the strenuous times, in the
monument which the officers of the Or
ganiZation propose to erect upon the
Chautauqua grounds. A great amount
of praise and thanks is due to Mayor
Moe, of Valley City, for his labor as

such organizations the work usually
falls upon one man and in this case
the secretary nobly responded to the
call by preparing an excellent program
and having the work we'll in hand.

IT PAYS

Public health is a purchasable COM
modify. Like many other good things
you have to buy it and you can get just
about what you pay for. This has
long been realized and the consequence
has been that communities are awak-
ening to the conditions and are spend
ing more and more for public health
work. Simmered down to legitimate
conclusion it is a commercial PROPOSE
ton, pure and simple and it pays. This
is what makes the movement so popu-
lar. Health is the greatest economic
asset of individual, community, state
or nation and conversely ill health and
disease are the conditions that entail
our greatest economic loss. 1t is no
wonder, therefore, that business Or
CARNATIONS and large combinations of
capital more intent on declaring divi-
dends than on promoting humanitar-
ianism, should recognize the fact that
poor health is one Of the greatest
drawbacks to success. They have
been leaders in social welfare work
among their employees and have spent
millions in lettering their living con-
ditions, knowing full we'll that they
would get it back tenfold in enhanced
efficiency and service.

YEARS WITH INDIANS

among the Indians is too well known

eulogy.
He built church and a school
which still stands at what is known as

busted under Father Jerome for many
years and the church is still the house
of worship for his faithful band. Liv-

hearts of his red brethren and through
effection led them to religion and
Christ. He made of his Indian child.

citizens of the United States.
Much of their present prosperity re-
f1ected in many very we'll titled farms
and substantial homes, is due to his
gentle but firm influence. He made
of the Sioux tongue language, trans
lated the Bible into it and taught the
Indians to read and write. At the
mission every month in Brother
Charles printing room a paper in the
Sioux is published.

SOME READABLE VERSE
HOW FATHER AND MOTHER


There are people around us who start
off full speed
BY going on credit to get what they
need,
And straining and striving the rest of
their days
To learn the sad lesson that honesty
pays,
When this could be saved by the sim
pie old plan
OF starting as father and mother be-
gan:
Saving and scrimping and doing
without,
Trusting and waiting and turning
about,
Denying themselves, by the help of
the Lord,
And never a thing that they couldn't
afford.
There's smiling young couple just
starting in life,
And they've bought to the limit; she's
such a sweet wife,
And he is so mad over all that she
does
He's willing to struggle, to hump and
to buzz,
To wear himself down to the skin and
the bone
To keep in the end what they've strug.
gled to own,
Often so foolish, so silly and wild,
So much like the wholly incOmpe.
tent child,
When all was so wise and SO easy
to scan
In the way that old father and
mother began.
If they couldn't have Brussels, rag
carpet would do;
And they lived in one room if they
couldn't have two;
They saved, but were happy, content
ed and free,
Just as the youngsters we speak OF
might be
With the sweet consolation of things
after while,
Setting in after shadows with sun.
shine and smile.
Struggling and waiting and paying
their way,
Putting off luxuries for some other
day,
Thus so contentedly, sweet, life
And that is how father and mother
began.

LOAFlN' IN THE STABLE

When the days too wet for plowin',
And the clouds are in the sky,
You'll be apt to find me loafin'
In the stable where it's dry;
Kinda tink-rin' with the harness,
Or a-bright'nin up the plows,
Or a'plannin' out the stanchions
So they're handler for the COWS.
Or maybe I'm just a-loafn'
In lazy kind of way
In the stable loft, a-dreamin'
In the sweet alfalfa hay,
And the tinkle, drip and dribble
OF the raindrops runnin' down
Messy shingles on the gable
Is a mighty soothin' sound.
Prop myself up by the winder
Sos to watch the broad expanse
Of the cornfields and the medders
Where the raindrops splash ant
dance;
Watch the wheat fields dip and billov
AS the breezes come and 90,
Jest lay back there in the shelter
Of the caves and watch her grow.

KEEPING DOWN DUST

Dust is one of the nuisances OF a
road It is disagreeable both to the
traveller and the one living near the
road. In many places the roads are
oiled, but this is expensive. Much or
the dust comes from the wearing down
of ruts, and the ruts were formed by
water standing on the surface. The
road bed that is well crowned in the
middle and packed hard will not
loosen up much in wet weather and If
no ruts are formed there will be little
material to be ground into dust. The
drag should be run over the road after
every rain and in this way the soil is
laid on the road bed in thin layer
and becomes packed down.
When the bed is hard and crowned
it will hold just about the right
amount of moisture unless it is sandy
Grass and weeds growing along the
road send their roots under the sur
face and hold the soil grains together
The weeds should not be allowed to
get within several feet of the Travelled
part of the road.
Clay or loan will pack hard when it
contains the right amount of moisture
when too wet it becomes soft and
when too dry the soil grains do not
stick together. The best way to keep
a fair amount of moisture in the road
bed is to keep at least IS inches above
The standing water keep it packed
hard and we'll crowned in the middle
and to keep a strip on each side free
from weeds. When ruts are allowed
to form they will be ground to dust
as soon as drying weather sets in. Use
the road drag to keep ruts from form
