BOYS RESCUE PLAY.
MATE: FROM RIVER

$Will;ston. N. D.. June 22.--Two

themselves real heroes last evening
when they risked their lives to save
a playmate from drowning. The
boys are Harry Ogland. aged ID
years and James Ogland his young
err brother the sons OF Nels i. o.
land of this city.
With other small boys they were
swimming in the Little Muddy
river near the city when Johnnie
Townsend, 10 years old. wad Ing
beyond his depth, began to call for
assistance. Seeing the plight Of
the Townsend lad. James Ogland
a ass,urdy swimmer. plunged at once
to his aid.
AS the rescuer approached the
drowning boy, the latter seized him
in {; firm grip about the neck and
both boys sank from view in the
wi ater. When neither appeared on
the surface, Harry Ogland. the old
er of the brothers, also plunged
into the water. With little eff
fort he located the Townsend boy
and carried him to safety. He
then returned to search for his
brother. After diving a number OF
times he appeared on the surface.

BY this time other help had ar
rived and the two almost drowned
brothers were pulled ashore. The
younger boy was unconscious and
for a time it was believed he was
dead. Prompt measures saved his
life, however, although physicians
today say that he is threatened
with. pneumonia, The other two
lads are as we'll as ever: $-.-5;= =!

Staale Hendrickson Asks Voters To
Consider His Past House Record

A public Office is a public trust.
He who seeks the suffrage of the
citizen of a. state or district. who
does not feel that a public office is
public trust, is unworthy of a
single vote. The rights of the pub
lie, placed in the hands of a legis-
lature, should be more zealously
guarded, more carefully looked af-
ter, more scrupulously attended to
than any other demanding mans
attention. During the time I have
held the Office Of representative
from this district my sole desire
! has been to guard. look after and
attend to the rights of the whole
people. I may not have succeeded
in some things as success does not
always attend the most earnest ef-
forts, but l have sought to be
right. I have tried to fulfill the
duties that lay next me. In the
same measure that have succeed
ed in doing my duty in the past. dc
I ask you by your vote and i'll
ttuence to render to me what is
due. No. more, no less. If l have
measured fairly up to your expecta-
tions. give me th"; support which
you think l deserve. II I have
done things well then that is the
highest commentator any man car
obtain. I have always stood fol

came a candidate for Office of his
own free will. He has made no
promises to anyone, and will not
be hampered in his conduct OF Of
flce on this account He will be
perfectly free to conduct the affairs
Of his office in way that he thinks
best, and not as someone dictates.
1t is true. that he has large num-
Der of supporters in all parts Of
the county who are spending much
of their time in his behalf, but any
man who has lived the life that
Mr.. Larsen has. has the almost
perfect record that Mr.. Lorsen has.
and has done as many favors for
his friends as Mr.. Larsen has is
sure to have many supporters that
are willing to make some sacrifices
in his behalf. Mr.. Larsen has liv-
ed here since the pioneer days and
has helped materially in building
up the territory which now COM
nrises the county Of Burke. He is
favorably known to all the old tim
nrs, none OF whom can find a
single thing against him The old
timers will vouch for him in every
way They know that he is hon
est as the day is long, they know
that he is not afraid Of work. they
know he can't be bluffed or bribed.
and they know that he is fully quail
flied to hold the Office which he
seeks in way that will prove
great credit to both himself and
ihe county. For that reason all
the old timers are MS best friends,
and biggest supporters. Mr.. Lar
zen is the logical man for the place.
and most Of the voters know it.
You can make no mistake in voting
for him. He will give us the SER
vice we want. and there will be
10 cause for complaints after he is
worn in. Remember Larsen when
casting your ballot next Wednes-
day.

We have known hisu to get up
even In the middle of the night to
sign papers for people who had
business at his Office. His Office
was officially closed at five O'Clock
each evening, but even then he
did not consider chat he was
through If the county needed his
services. He was where he could
be gotten at any time of the day
or night, and even when called out
side Of regular working hours, he
did what he was asked to do with
out grumbling and in a pleasant
manner. If good work deserves
reelection, then Mr. Martin will be
our next clerk of court. If the
voters want the y most for. their
money, want the Office run by a
man that knows how, has proven
to us that he does know how, and
is willing to do everything in his
power; to give satisfaction, then
they will not consider anyone but

I have always recognized that the
sinew and bone, the real strength
and stamina of this state was
found among the agricultural class
es. The very basis or a1l our pros
perity, of all our Doasted great
ness as state lies on the farm.
I believe that those interests which
form the basis of sur prosperity
demand the greatest protection at
the hands of our law making body.
By that I. do not mean that injus-
tice shall be done 20 anyone, but
that the interests of the many
should be more scrupulously attend
ed to. The laws should be enacted
which will more equitably give to
the farmer what is his just due.
That those laws should not be un-
just to any person, but that they
should give to the farmer every
thing that he is entitled to. BY
the enactment, of just and equitable
laws for the benefit of the agri-
cultural classes we bring prosperity
to ALL, for with the prosperity of
the farmer follows the prosperity OF
every business and calling in this
state. I owe allegiance to no poll
tical boss. l wear no mans collar
I will serve no interests other thu n
the interests of the people who
elect me.
