Opposition-thaH is Office Of

The closing Of the period for
the filing of petitions for the
primary election, brought several
surprises in the North Dakota
primary-principal among which
is the failure Of Leslie Simp-
son to file as a candidate for
congress in the Third district.
AS result, p. D. Norton will be
nominated by the republicans,
without opposition.
The announced decision OF
Leslie Simpson to enter the race,
months ago, barred others from
taking die, flyer-Staale Hend-
1ickson Of Burke county being
at one time, particularly anxi-
ous to make the race. However
he gave up the idea when it was
stated that Simpson would enter
and now Simpson s failure to
file leaves the way clear for Nor
ton.
The United States senatorial
proposition also brings forth a
new feature-the filing of Her
man Midtbo, Of Minot, as can
didate for the republican nomi-
nation. He is habitual canIi-
date, who takes between 1000
and 1900 votes every time he
comes up-which is about every
election.
The three-cornered fight pre-
dicted for the democratic guber-
material nomination has come TO-
pass, for Halvor Halvorson of MI
not has filed as a candidate.
Thus, u. A. .RlatOu, d. H. Near
thur and Halvorson will fight it
out.

Points About holdings

The molding is the connecting
unit between the walls and the
ceiling. It makes rooms low
or high at will.
A low room Is made higher by
a raised molding, with several
accent lines Of molding on the
ceiling.
A high room is made lower by a
dropped molding. This is par
ticularly true If the molding be
Of dark color.
The style Of molding is impor-
tant. Those of rounded con-
tour tend to fade away into the
background. Those deeply
channeled, with concave lines,
catch and hold lights and
shadows.
The color Of molding may also
aid in determining its promi-

ment by the architect, an elab-
crate or decided molding may
spoil the effect.
