LITTLE STORM VICTIM
 MOURNS MOTHERS DEATH
Three Year Old Ruth Condray Is Brought Here For Treatment
 For Serious Injuries.

Doctors and nurses at the Davis hospital are fighting hard to save the life of pretty little Ruth Condray, storm victim, who was brought to that institution yesterday afternoon from Humphrey, where her father and sis ters and brothers are being treated for injuries which, like her own, were received in the storm of Monday night, which wrecked the Condray home near Vallier postoffice, in the southwestern corner of Arkansas county.
 The little miss is just past three years of age Her hurts are grievous, both boans in her left leg being broken and driven through the flesh, which is badly lacerated, and the right knee cap being also badly hurt. Hurts about the head are painful, but not serious. Ruth is suffering from her injuries, but she is suffering most because mamma is not there to care for her and kiss the hurts away. Little Ruth does not know yet-she does not understand-that mamma will never again kiss away the tears or the hurts, because Mrs. Condray, and her IA year-old son were instantly killed in that same storm. The nurses are helping little Ruth to forget-not to forget her mamma, but to forget her other troubles. Last night, the child was resting as we'll as could be ex- pected.
 At Humphrey, where MT. Condray lies seriously injured. wit hothers of his children, the people are caring for the stricken family in true Christian spirit. The Humphrey homes were opened to them, and their wants are being supplied. Sympathy in great measure has gone out to them, because MT. Condray and his children have lost everything they had-even to that most priceless possession, the wife and mother. Their home has been scattered to the four winds, and all it's contents are disappeared.
 Material assistance that might be rendered the stricken family. will be forwarded promptly, if desired by the donors, through The Graphic.

to us all, some time. A certain
young man, full of energy and
ambition, with as bright pros

that he never expected his in

that time; but inside of three
years it was nothing. He thought
he had life job, and it. had

not boast now.

stay out of doors when it don't,

ROAD MEETING AT ASKOV
LAST THURSDAY

A number of prominent citi-
zens from Bruno, kerrick and
Nickerson were in Askov last
Thursday evening and met to-
gether with a few Askov citizens
for the purpose of discussing
roads in this section. 1t was the
object of this meeting to lay be-
fore Carlton County officials that
they should build the few miles
of road from the Pine County
line, north of Nickerson, to con-
meet with a road leading to Du-
lluth. We have done our share
in building a good road from
Sandstone to Nickerson and now
it is up to Carlton County to fix
up the connecting link. Carlton
County seems to be SO anxious
to help Pine County get the
$4,000 federal aid to be spent
on the road along the N. P.
which leads through their princi-
pal towns. The meeting at As
kov was in favor of having that
big lump of money spent along
the N. P. and making it good
graveled road, thus diminishing
the maintaining expenses or

THE TURKEY THAT WOULD
BUILD A HOUSE

There is a Negro story of a
turkey who, every time it showed
drew his feathers about him and
firmly resolved to build him a
house. But before he could de-
eide where to build, or what kind
of house, the sun came out and
he would shake his feathers,
strut around and say to himself:
Nobody wants to be in a house
on a day like this" and the re-
suit was he froze to death one
winter night.
There is a lot of people in the
same frame of mind as the tur-
key. When things are going
wrong, work is slack, times are
hard, sickness or accident comes
and their money gone, they firmly
resolve that in the future they
will take care of their money and
look out for the rainy day; build
them a house, as it were; but as
soon as things right themselves,
they forget their good resolution
and the next time of need finds
them as i'll prepared as ever.

up children. We want what we

vague uncertainty to US. The
boy will gorge himself with ap-
Piles in June and forget that
there is a physical law against
eating green apples. Tomorrow
he will find it out, and may re-
solve not to eat green apples
again; but good resolution
never gets a man anywhere un-
less he keeps it. Many a New
Years promise is made only to
be broken and pledges are signed
only to be forgotten. How many
a man has resolved to stop drink
ing when drinking has brought
him in court! He should have
stopped before .... ..
p Thousands of men have firmly
resolved that they would start a
savings bank account, made a
deposit or two, and then quit.
An examination of the books of
any savings bank will show a
large number of accounts with
but one deposit. 1t is mute evil
dence of a good resolution bro
ken. A certain father with two
children had them insured in an
industrial insurance company.
He concluded that h. could save
the money he was paying for in
surance some other way and de-
cided to put it in a savings bank,
and proceeded to open an account
for each child. The first was the
last deposit ever made. The in
surance collector quit his visits
and the fathers good resolution
to save for his children stopped
with it's coming, and to-day they
are without either a bank ac'
count or insurance.
The rainy day comes to every
man. No matter how long il
