Hon. J. A. Power, member

though Mr.. Power has an ex-
cellent education he has always
remained on his $500 acre farm,
experimenting it personally,
growing and feeding cattle
both extensively and intensive
ly, having won three cham
pionship on car lots of fat steers
at the great fat stock show at
South st. Paul. He also breeds
purebred Shorthorns, but init
mates that the grades have
been more profitable. Mr..
Power is president of a bank

are owned and operated by
farmers and are prospecting.
He is a pleasant gentleman to
meet and we feel that the in

An inspiration to Your Boys.
A true story is told of how
Hon. L. L. Burdick, the man
who aspires to be your govern
or, became interested in the
live stock business, showing
the indomitable spirit of en-
ergy, courage and independence
that displayed itself even at an
early age.
When still a boy in Benson
county he attended a Fourth of
July celebration. But unlike
the boys of today he was oblig-
ed to walk from his fathers
homestead instead of riding in
automobiles, carriages, bicy.
cles or the like. The occasion
was of very great importance
to him, for besides other sports
there was to be a boys foot
race, the winner to receive the
unprecedented fortune of a pair
of common sheep. Without
either dinner or supper flor
they were poor homesteaders
without funds) young Burdick
waited patiently through the
day for what he considered his
life's opportunity. Handicap
ped as he was, but stirred to
his utmost by dire necessity, he
outdistanced the large field of
competitors.
With this humble beginning,
coupled with persistent effort.
he worked his way through the
Mayville normal and the uni
versity of Minnesota.
Just as his superior physique
enabled him to lead the boys in
the foot race, it has together
with his great moral courage
and desire tor truth and justice)
enabled him to become the
leading statesman of North
Dakota.
His early training and natur-
al love for live stock, and the
farm have shown themselves

sources of income are from
these sources, and he is an
acknowledged leader in his

Protestants and Catholic, a communi- cation which says it's purpose is to promote the cause of international peace through the churches. These men are planning an International religious organization to do away with the war. They say it is possi- ble to obliterate war. But in this they take issue with Jesus Christ, who said that in the last days there would be distress of nations with per plexity. The peace advocates are telling us there will be peace and safety. Who is right?
 ''The question often is asked, why don't the nations stop. disarm, and live at peace? They can't, because they are controlled by a power from beneath. Satan and his agencies have gone forth into the earth. The nations are being driven on inevitably to the great climax. At the same time God is calling individuals every where to repentance. In connection with these momentous events Christ declares, Behold I come quickly

By putting out clean rolled barley one day and following this the next day with poisoned bait they found the dogs were killed over large area, treated at McAiister While, when the poisoned barley was put out first not such good results were obtained as they would not con- Sume the poisoned bait first. Several other kinds of grain. including feteria and wheat are now being tried. The cattle owners arc especially interested in this work and have been watching with much interest the work now be- ing done in the prairie dog campaign. Messrs. Johnson and Cook. of Will COX, who own and lease much land for grazing purposes will commence the poison at once. It is estimated that about 200 sections of grazing lands in Cochise county has been or is being ruined for grazing by prairie dogs. Other cattlemen and ranchers are glad that a systematic campaign has been launched against these pests.
 In connection with this prairie dog campaign. an excellent ir. I. A. meet ing was held at McAlister Saturday evening" About 50 people were pres ent to hear MT. Paschall and MT.

DESTRUCTION OF ARNAGEDDON

Jerusalem. A Armageddon Revela- tiOn Is. 1921 and 1g:11-2l will meet their fulfillment.
 "The reign of peace never will come to this old world through the political obsortpoin of it's governments into one g eat whole. to be presided over by Jesus Christ. Revelation Ills tells US the kingdoms of this earth shall become the kingdoms of Christ. and he shall reign forever and ever, but Psalms 2:9 shows that the na ions will be broken, like a pot ter's vessel, and Daniel 2:44 tells us that The Cad of heaven shall set up. kingdom, which shall never be de- stroyed and the kingdom shall not he left to other people. but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms. and it shall stand forever.
 The Bible prophets are not silent upon the great peace movement prog ressing at the same time as war preparations. Many people believe this will be the last great war, that the nations will have become so tired of war they will never fight again Isaiah 2:2-4 predicts a great peace movement and says it will be in the last days Here we are told tha. the mountain of the Lords house NtiiAlI it tSldDuSlltu III the IOD or tho mountains, and all nations shall flow inio it The language is sym boiic. Mountains in scripture rep resent governments The mountain of the l ord's house is religious organization. and this religious fed eration is to be established over the governments, and is to include all na- tions.
 The prophecy goes on to tell us that many pco9le shall go and say: Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the Gcd of Jacob and he will teach us If his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zior shall go forth the law. and the word If the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations 9nd shall reDUke many people; anC they shall heat their swords into pl9wshares and their spears into piurine hooks; nations shall not Tiff ID sword against nation, neither shal they learn war any more."'

McElhany, of Oakland. president of the California conference of the Seventh-day Ad .Ventists, in a discourse at the Ad- ycntist camp meeting at Washing ton street and Sixth avenue, last night His subject was the Euro pean war from the standpoint of the Bible He painted a clear word pie ture of conditions ia the world today.
 There never was a time in the history of nations ha said. when it could more truthfully be said that the nations are angry. and perplexed. Christ said Of these very times that in the last days of the worlds his- tory perilOus times should come, that mems hearts would be failing them for fear. and for looking after those things which are coming upon the earth. The very next event. Christ says will be the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. The child of God, tonight my friends, should be looking for Him with re- ioicing.
 Revelation ll:1S tells us in plain language that thc time when the na tions are angry is the time of the dead. when they shall oe judged, and the time when the servants of God are 70 be rewarded These are the last days, the days near the end That the nations are angry there is abundant evidence.
