Turned tho Joke.

Professor Williams of the Greek de-

sometimes the despair of his students.
One of the prize students, who was ad-
dicted TO the use Of the interlinear, was
trying to blunder through a passage Of
Aeschylus recently and was making a
bad job Of it, 1t became evident after
the first line that the young man was
liz deep water. Reads of Precipitation
dampened his forehead MS he tried to
blunder through the passage, wallow-
ing helplessly and raising the distress
signal. Professor Williams showed no
mercy nor offered to throw out the
life line TO the sinking man. The latter
appealed dumbly for relief and at last
broke down completely

UNIQUE PLAN
FOR RAISING PIGS.

ATLANTA, Dec. 5--A unique plan
for stimulating interest in the live
stock industry among boy farmers in
Georgia has just been worked out by
the Southern Bell Telephone company
in connection with a chain of banks
Twenty boys will be selected. Each
will be given pig by the telephone
company, and a pig by the bank The
boy will give his note to the bank
for the price of the pig, with interest
lat per cent.
Out of the first litter, the boy will
give the telephone company and the
bank three pigs, the former getting
two and the latter one. The tele-
phone company and the bank will use
these pigs to supply other boys, and
thus will the chain of pig-raising clubs
be extended as rapidly as new litters
Of pigs arrive.

has been making a study of the
hardness of our city water. The
class finds that it can be soften-
ed with little difficulty. Boiling
for a few minutes reduces the
hardness by about one-half, but
this method is too expensive. The
following is much cheaper
method. Place a so gallon barrel
in the basement or wash room.
Place i'm this 3 l-2 ounces of
fresh lime, if the lime is old use
a little more. Fill the barrel with
water and stir severa times dur
ing the next two or three hours.
At the end of that time add AS
grams of ordinary washing soda
and stir few times during the
next four hours. Allow it to set
tie and you will have water very
similar to that formerly supplied
by the artesian we'll except that it
will contain even less solids.

SCIENCE. DAY, JUNE 18th

Inc big Science Day Picnic is
Tomorrow, Friday June 10th, on
the Science School Campus. All
business houses are asked to close
from 1 80 Il. m. until 4:OO p. M.
SO that the town will have a real
live celebration in honor of the
Science School. A community af-
falr @ this kind is the finest thing
that IAN happen for town. 1t
relieves the people for a little
wb ie from the cares of business
aid gives real and complete rest
by the total change in their line
OF thought. 1t makes friends and
marks the participants as boost
ers for the local and home inter-
ests. Bring out the family and the
little old picnic basket and Join
the big celebration. The Science
School band will furnish the mu-
sic while we all eat. Lets give the
school a rousing send off.
All persons having bills against
the Science School are requested
TO present them before July 1st.
All courses will remain as be-
fore for the next year. The report
OF the survey commission recent
ly made public by the Board of
Regents has occasioned some
false impressions as to how the
new plan will affect the State
School of Science.
This report was only prelim-
mary of the survey; the final re-
port will not reach the Board of
Regents before July and probably
will not receive official considera..
ton from the Board of Regents
until late in that month. The
Board may adopt or reject any or

The Democratic party in this
State is largely i'm the minority
and cannot elect any candidate to
office without the support of Il
large number of Republican and
Independent voters. Our candidate
to be elected, must have the con-
tidence of the voters without re-
gard to party affiliations. Such
candidate is ID. H. Macarthur, can
didate for Democratic nomination
for Governor.
Mr.. Macarthur has been an ac-
tive Democrat for more than thir-
ty years. He served in the State
Senate during the sessions of
1908, 1905, 1907, and 1909, dur
ing which sessions, he was one of
the party's leaders in bringing
about remedial legislation. In ad-
dition to supporting the progress
sive legislation initiated by other
members of the legislature, he
is the author of many progressive
measures passed during these
sessions, the most important of
which is the Pure Paint Law. The
attack made upon this law by the
moneyed interests of the country
and its defense by President Ladd
of our Agricultural College has
given our State more favorable
advertising than it has obtained
from any other piece of legisla-
ton ever enacted by our legisla-
ture. Another important measure
introduced by him is the one pre-
venting corporations from con-
tributing to campaign funds. He
is the only candidate for Cover
nor ON the Democratic ticket who
has had legislative experience. He
is man of ability and of the
strictest integrity; has the con-
fldence of the people and will
make an ideal Governor.

in the success of the Democrats
in getting the consent of that
splendid citizen and Democrat, d.
H. Macarthur, to become a candi-
date for Governor of this State.
We in Bottineau County are es-
pecially delighted for we have
known him for so many years,
and in no instance has he been
found wanting. His sterling 10y
atty, his fearless and aggressive
efforts in behalf of progressive
democratic candidates and meas
ures has endeared him to every
real Democrat who knows him.
We will never forget how loyal
Doug. Macarthur stood when it
was not popular to be Democrat;
how he picked up the banner Of
progressive democracy when trait
ors had dragged it in the mire and
carried it to glorious victory. In
my opinion, no better man could
be found in any party for this
honorable position than Mr.. Nc
Arthur, and 1 am glad to add my
feeble efforts toward his nominal
ton and election.
