So far the Wilson Admin.

local victory on its policies. II
was defeated in the Twenty.
third New York district where
the Democratic candidate rar
on an Administration platform
it was defeated in the second
West Virginia district where
Mr.. Wilson insisted on excllid

now comes the news from Te
xas, a Democratic stronghold
that McLemore was renominat

that Ex-Governor Colquitt de
feated Senator Culberson in the
FIRST primaries by 10000 vote!
for United States Senator.
The fight against McLemort
turned on the fight over the re
solution which made his nam
famous overnight, while Gov
Colquitt made his campaign or
a platform Of open hostility tc
the policies Of the President
The first Senatorial primaries
were for the elimination Of all
but two receiving the highesl
votes, and the contest is not yei
settled. 1t is certain that every
battery Of the Administration
forces will be employed from
now on to beat Colquitt for thR
Senate as Senator Cnlberson's
successor.
But Judging results as they
now appear 10 view, the Admi

forms the Independent that this last
meeting of the National convention
was the twenty-frst one which he had
attended. There were nearly 1000 del
egates present and the discussions
were full Of interest to those identified
with the buttermaking business. Co.
operative creameries especially came
in for goodly share of favorable
comment. The concensus Of opinion
being that cooperation is the ideal
method of operation. North Dakota
was we'll represented, seventeen cream
cries having representative at the con-
vention. While this number is not as
great yet the percentage of represent
alton compares favorably with the
number present from any other state.
Over 700 tubs of butter, samples from
various creameries, were on exhibit
ton. Their weight totaled $4,000 TBS.
At the conclusion of the convention
this butter was sold at auction, bring
ing the unprecedented price Of Al
cents per pound, the highest price
ever realized for exhibits at any Ma
tional convention. One fact which
should be called to the attention Of the
North Dakota buttermakers is that
this state stood sixth in the number of
sample tubs on exhibition and in the
percentage test stood very close to
the top of the list. Minnesota won the
prize banner for having the highest
average score.

TO DIRECT APPRECIATION
WEEK FROM WONDER CITY
Secretary Holbein of Association Of
Commerce Takes Over Secretary
ship of Yearly Event.

Will E. Holbein, secretary of the
Minot Association Of Commerce, spent
Thanksgiving in Grand Forks in con-
ference with the executive committee,
who have charge of the Appreciation
Week affairs, and while there he was
appointed to fill the vacancy as secre-
tary caused by the resignation of Mr..
i. E. Black, who will take up another
line of work.
This means that Minot will receive
some very enviable publicity out of
this annual event, that is bound to be-
come greater every year. The Appre-
citation Week of last year set pace
that will be eclipsed from year to year
and it is hoped that this year many of
the prominent people of the state who
did not take part in the proper observ-
ance Of the week last year will be
found boosting for all they are worth.
Last year over 100000 copies of
North Dakota newspapers were sent
out of the state during Appreciation
Week, and $4,000 essays on North Da-
kota were written by the school chill
dren of the state This year it is
hoped that fully 100000 newspapers
will be mailed out of the state and
100000 essays written by the school
children.
More complete particulars will ap-
rear in these columns from week to
week. Watch for them.

How an Anticlimax Can Destroy the

and coquettish, and after showing
marked favor to the senior partner
suddenly threw him over and became
engaged to the younger The Tilted
one was In despair. He raved, sobbed
and tore his hair. His family and
friends, after quieting him as best
they could, persuaded him to complete
by letter the severance Of business re-
lations with his successful rival.

TOO MUCH LEISURE.
Ho Wanted . Job Where 10 Could
Have Steady Work.

The hours OF work in vogue on west
ern grain ranches are not such as
would satisfy the average city bust
ness man. In fact, they sometimes
prove little strenuous even for hard
ened farm hands.
Early during the last harvesting sea.
son certain rancher was looking for
hands, but only wanted men who de-
sired steady employment and would
remain with him throughout the sea
son.
One afternoon young man, with
blankets on his back, stopped at the
ranch and struck for Job. He said
he wished steady place and was
hired. He went to bed, and at 3 o'clock
the next morning the foreman called
him to 60 to work.
The new hand labored all through
the day, stopping bare half hour for
lunch at noon. At o'clock the crew
had supper, and then, as the foreman
wished to get through with the field on
which they were working the men re-
turned to their duties and labored until
midnight They they retired.
At 3 o'clock the following morning
the foreman again called the young
man. He arose and ate breakfast. He
then went to the farmer and demanded
his money.
II thought you wanted steady Job, y
said the farmer.
'Well, do said the youth, but
was laid off for three hours last night,
and l can't stand that, you know.
