and material comfort. To all of those
people we tender our most sincere and
heartfelt thanks, and may God bless
them. Mr.. and MRS. H. c. order.

an excellent opportunity to win the
nomination.
McCumber's friends fear that the
entrance of the Minot man into the
race may result in the success Of Han
ma, as Nestos will draw largely from
McCumber. On the other hand, Mes
tos' advisors say that he will not only
draw many votes from McCumber, but
enough from Hanna to secure for him
the nomination.
From this minute on, the Minot man
is in the fight and he can fight some.
Mr.. Nestos is now serving his sec
ond term as states attorney for Ward
county He was member of the leg
islature in 1911, was chairman of the
committee on Tax Laws and the auth.
or of a number of tax reform meas
ures. He was born on farm in Voss
Norway, in 1877. In 1893 he came tc
North Dakota. For seven years he
worked as a farm laborer, harness
maker, bookkeeper and teacher. He
graduated from the Mayville Norma
in 1900 and received his degree from
the University of Wisconsin in 1902
The next year he commenced the study
of law, in the university of North Da
kota, and was admitted to the bar ii
1904, coming to Minot to practice.
Mr.. Nestos has always been affiliat
ed with the Progressive wing of the
republican party and is clean, politi
cally and personally, and capable.

DR.. Conwell's lecture at the Normal
school Friday evening was the crown
ing feature of the gathering Of Of
ficers.
DR.. Conwell believes that it is the
duty of every man to make the most of
his opportunities, and so far from it
being crime to get rich, it is crime
to remain poor in this, the worlds
greatest land of opportunity.
This man, IA years of age, with
hardly gray hair in his head, is one
of the greatest optimists the world
has ever known. For him the world is
great field of diamonds, waiting to
be picked up. That they are not pick
ed up by more is not because they are
not there but because of the blindness
of those who are walking over them
are diamonds. .-@-.-s--,
DR.. Conwell is best known over the
country by his celebrated lecture
"Acres of Diamonds" A few years
ago the total earnings from that lee
ture had reached $4,000,000. DR.. Con-
well has earned over $8,000,0O0 from
his various lectures covering period
of over forty years.
He is the pastor of the Baptist
Temple of Philadelphia, reputed few
years ago to be the largest Protestant
church in America. The building has
a seating capacity Of 1900 and for ten
years such crowds. have gathered that
