WYS0NC WOULD
BECOME LEGISLATOR
Prominent Minot Attorney Who Has
Political Aspirations, Announces
His Candidacy.

C. C. Wysong, a prominent young
Minot attorney, is a candidate for the
republican nomination for the legis-
lature from the goth legislative dis
trict. Mr.. Wysong's candidacy COM
plicates matters somewhat for he is
certain to draw rather heavily from
several of the country precincts.
Mr.. Wysong is running on no plat
form in particular for like Abraham
Lincoln, he considers that platforms
are often prepared in lieu of records
and up to date. he has had no oppor-
tunity to make any legislative record.
But he is willing to put in his time at
Bismarck during the next Legislative
session if the voters desire to send
him there.
Mr.. Wysong asked the Independent
not to publish very long OBITUARY
and we promised not to do so. He is
80 years of age, has one wife, one
daug hter, one country and one flag.
Was born in Indiana, graduated from
the University Of the Hoosier state
and has been practicing law in Minot
for five years. He is good, bright
attorney, most affable and has large
number of friends. He is ready
speaker and declares that if elected, he
expects to be the "whip Of the house.
Seriously, however, his candidacy
will meet with the approval of large
following and it would not be at all
surprising if he is one of the nomi-
neeS.

N0RWEC|ANS CELE-
| bRATf 18th Of MAY
Judge A. M. ChristainsOn of Bismarck
and Hon. Halvor L. HalvOrsOn Ad-
Il dress Large Gathering at Hall.

A crowd of nearly four thousand
attended the 18th of May celebration
I at the Sons of Norway hall in this city
I "wednesday evening. The hall was
1 decorated with the flag of Norway and
the Stars and Stripes.
John X. Sveen presided at the gath
ering in his usual happy manner and
introduced the main speaker, Hon. A.
M. Christensen, Judge of the Supreme
Court, of Bismarck. Mr.. Christensen
paid a high compliment to the Nor
wegian race and paid special compli-
ment to those in America.
Hon. Halvor L. Halvorson Of this
city also made pleasing address, both
speeches being given in English.
E. J. Isliefson, Minot's we'll known
tenor, sang two solos, one in English
and the other in Norwegian.
u Miss Stromrud sang a solo in Eng
fish and for an encore rendered one in
Norwegian. Miss Stromrud, who is
perhaps our most popular soloist, was
in excellent form last night.
Z The Norwegian National Hymn and
that of our own country, America,
were sung by the audience.
At the conclusion Of the program,
the guests remained for an enjoyable
dance, music being furnished by Fla
tens orchestra.
The Norwegians of Minot are GER
tainly splendid entertainers and last
nights exercises could hardly have
been more enjoyable.

ieve that he was one Of the very ear
Hest members Of that organization.
Mr.. Walton is one of the candidates
endorsed by the Nonpartisan league.
This came without solicitation on his
part. Speaking of the league program
Mr.. Walton recently said to the indie
pendent: 81 do not see any reason
why anyone should worry if the league
should happen to get control of the
legislature. This is mainly a farming
state. l believe that 80 per cent of
the voters are farmers and if the
league can do anything to benefit the
condition of the farmers, this will re-
act on every other line of business.
We do not desire to tear down any
other line of business, but only de-
sire to build up the farming industry
of North Dakota"
Mr.. Walton stands we'll in the COM
munity in which he has resided for
years and it looks as tho he will be one
of the top-notch candidates when the
votes are counted.

THINGS THAT ARE USEFUL

Here Is story from away out In
Kansas that may he Of interest and
profit in Virginia, and Il may pertain
to many fruits other than cherries
The story reads rs follows:
a man watched his wife seeding
cherries and throwing the pits away
An idea came to him There must be
some use for those pits. He got the
bureau Of chemistry of the Department
and Agriculture interested. and this is
what has resulted
The kernels OF cherry pits yield n
fixed oil. almost exactly like almond
oil. worth 40 cents pound: and n
volatile oil like that of bitter almonds
that could be used in making perfumes
and flavorinS extracts. and is worth
about $40 pound: ana the residue
would make Il meal for stock food like
and the juice that is wasted In seeding
the cherries could be used IN making
table strip, jelly and alcohol.
Three and onc-half million tons Of
cherry pits are thrown away each sea :
son at the plants whore cherries are
canned in the country. This would
make 200 tons OF the fixed oil, worth
$4,000: 5000 pounds Of the volatile
oil. worth SGO.000, and $50 tons Of meal.
worth $4,000, a total of Slji,00O be-
sides more than 5000 gallons Of pure
alcohol. 1000 gallons Of Sirup or S.
600 gallons of jelly that could be made
from the wasted Juice.
