We predict that the Woodrow Will
son league, which is being given a
state wide precinct organization over
every county in the state, will etfectu-
ally demonstrate the fact that the
sentiment endorsing the Wilson ad-
ministration will include many of the
rank and file of the republican party
as we'll as North Dakota democrats.
President Wilson has shown a wisdom
IN directing the administration of the
affairs of the United States in this
most trying period of the worlds his
tory that has brought to him the ad-
miration Of American citizens, ire
spective Of party. This fact is so
plainly evident that the Woodrow
Wilson league is bound to be taken
hold of by the presidents admirers to
the extent of making it almost non.
partisan from the start off.

ITO know a little bit is dangerous"

wonderfully simple to acquire suffi-

training before a man can be sufficient

The cognomen Smith is destined to
have a pretty nearly top.o.column
position place on the republican ballot
at the June primaries. The particular
Smith who has a political bee distract
ing his attention from his own affairs
is one George J.. Smith of Plaza. In
cidental]y George is the sole owner
and proprietor of a string of eight
weekly newspapers advantageously
located in towns through the western
part of the state. But he evidently
doesn't think that his time is so occu-
pied but what he could devote as
much time to the Office Of governor of
North Dakota as Hon. l.. B. Hanna
has been doing lately. "Smithy''
would appear to have a very good
start off as far as newspaper support
goes right to home, but he has the
draw back of being a republican.

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES
Bring Suffering and Distress to a Number
of Langdon Readers

Pain is natures signal of distress.
A warning not to be ignored. Those
sharp twinges in the back-those sud-
den, stabilize pains when stopping,
are frequent signs of kidney trouble;
signs that must not be neglected. To
remove kidney pains, you must assist
the kidneys. Use a tested and proven
kidney remedy. None more highly
endorsed than Doan's kidney pills.
Mrs. 0. G. Thorson of Park River.
N. OAK, says: 81 had a lot of trou-
BILE with my back. 1t ached all of
the time, and when l Strengthened up
after STOPPING over, sharp twinges of
pain caught me in my sides. l was

dizzy spells and the kidney secretions

medicines and consulted doctors, but

The advance in the price of grain
crops of all kinds within the past few
weeks would indicate that forecasting
market conditions is about as reliable
as making weather predictions. 1t
will be recalled that President j. j.
Hill was among those who advised the
farmer to sell his wheat last fall,
when it was about ninety cents a
bushel, and as is natural in such in
stances there were quite a number of
others ready to follow suit.

The present isn't the first time a pres
ident has chosen a widow for his bride.
Woodrow Wilson, it seems, is only a
follower of a well established prece-
dent. Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Fillmore and Benjamin Harrison Sc
lected widows for wives, while Tyler
and Roosevelt took unto themselves
two wives apiece, but none Of these
latter brides had been led to the altar
before. AS for Andrew jackson, he
established his own precedent and mar
ried a Divorce. This would lead you
to believe that when the darts of Gu
pid strike home in our highest official
circle they strike with exceptional
force. Even the opportunities for
comparisons have no terrors for the

Time is divided into two periods by

Whitehead the torpedo, Maxim the 81

To prove 10 those more or less
skeptical that the Tulsa baseball club
is paying proposition. here are q
few figures submitted for your mas
tcauon. The gross gate receipts last
year amounted to- exactly $25.N5S5O.
While the salary limit was not strictly
followed last year this season a limit
OF $500 monthly must lee observed
For five months the money paid
players would total S6.5O0. The
travelling expenses of the club. i'm
Guiding hotel charges. last year were
L5OO, These two items. ircIuding
5000 lease money for the baseball
park, constituted the biggest part of
the expenses. President Roy Purpu-
last year was paid a sal ry of 5000
monthly. The total expenses. includ-
ing player salary travelling and ho-
tel expenses ana lease money for the
grounds amounted tu $500. Subtract
this figure from $25.S5S.5O. the total
receipts, and you have $13.35S.JO. of
course, not all ;hat is profit as the
expense i'm the upkoep of the grounds
and other incidantals probably would
amount to $500 during the season.
