farmer MAKES
HIS own ROADS
McHenry County Man Sets Splendid
Example for Farmers All Over
the State.

Balfour, May 28.-One of the most
progressive stunts that has been pull
ed off in this vicinity for some time.
was done by Christ Stenso, a live wire
farmer living north of the city.
Mr.. Stenso, at his own expense, put
his teams and hired man on the grader
and made great improvement on the
road between the Geo. Behner farm
and his own place. The distance the
road worked covered about six miles
and those who have travelled over this
particular road say if this example
was followed by all, the road problem
would be practically solved. Mr.. STEM
so spent two days at this work and as
result many places that were almost
impossible have been improved to such
an extent that travel is delight over
this particular road.
Mr.. Stenso has had considerable ex-
perience in road building and realizes
that the low grades should receive the
first consideration, for it costs more
money to haul over hilly road than
over a level one. After the road is
once properly built it is an easy mat
ter to keep it in shape with the road
drag.

GRAND FORKS MAN
MURDERED WAITRESS
Harry Smith, in Jealous Fit, Took the
Life of Mrs. May Cain, Who Had
Spurned His Attentions.

Harry Smith shot and killed Mrs.
Mary Cain, aged 36 years, at her home
in Grand Forks Sunday afternoon, in
a fit Of jealousy. Within sc hours he
had pleaded guilty before Judge Cool
ey, who sentenced him to life i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary.
Mrs. Cain was waitress at Hotel
Dacotah in Grand Forks and worked
hard to support her four children.
Smith had been rooming at the Cain
home and for years had been infatu-
ated with Mrs. Cain. He met her
while both were employed at the
Grand Pacific Hotel at Bismarck and
followed her to Grand Forks.
Smith, after killing the woman, says
he intended to turn the weapon on him
self. Her eldest daughter grappled
with him and the chamber Of the re-
volver fell out. After he had more
time for thought, he decided to give
himself up to the authorities.
Smith claims that travelling man,
one Harry D. White, became acquaint-
ed with Mrs. Cain, and believing that
White was visiting the woman at the
time, he got gun and went to her
home. When she refused to make up
with him, he shot her in the breast
twice, one bullet penetrating her heart.
Mrs. Gains former husband, G. HI.
Cain, lives at Claremont, s. d., where
the remains were inferred beside those
of child who died several years ago.

LAMBERT FOR DISTRICT JUDGE.

On account of the fact that this Of
flee is non-partisan and there are only
two candidates, it is certain that both
will be nominated in June, and the
real fight will come off in the fall.
Therefore, to save time and the ex-
pense Of two campaigns, / will not
make personal canvas of the voters
before the primaries, but will, never
the-less, appreciate every vote I can
get at that time.
Don't vote for me because you want
to be appointed Juvenile officer, bailiff
or juror; because you expect to get the
long end of some law suit that might
come of before me if am elected, or
because need the money. If elected
l want it to come as result Of your
deliberate judgment that I have the
ability and will deliver the goods with
out fear or favor. I do not belong to-,
nor will I be controlled by any gang
or faction, and if elected will study
hard, consider conscientiously all mat
ters submitted to me and whenever
any case is being tried in my court,
will keep my eyes and ears open and
be in the game from start to finish.

GREAT EXHIBITS At
THE N|N0T.SCH00LS
Annual Event Attended by Thousands
Who Praise Splendid Work Done
BY Boys and Girls.

The annual exhibit of the work done
in the departments Of art, domestic
science, penmanship and manual train
ing were on display at the High and
Central school buildings on Monday
and Tuesday of this week and were
viewed by hundreds Of interested pat
rons and visitors interested in the well
fare of our schools.
The exhibits this year were unusual
ly fine and reflect much credit upon
those in charge of the instruction in
the various departments mentioned.
The exhibits were cleverly arranged
and the decorations Of each room in
which they were displayed harmonized
nicely with the character Of the ex-
hibits. On Monday evening the high
school orchestra, stationed in the Of
flee Of the Central building, discoursed
pleasing variety of selections which
contributed quite materially to the
pleasure of the visitors. In the high
school building, the domestic science
class served frappe and waters. Taken
all in all, the exhibit this year was
we'll up to the high standard which has
characterized the exhibits of former
years.
Manual Training.
The manual training exhibit attract
ed much attention and the excellent
choice of articles exhibited, taken in
connection with the skill manifest in
their construction, merited well the
high praise accorded by every visitor
who entered the room. A number of
handsome library tables, bookcases,
pedestals, Morris chairs, buffet, music
cabinets, piano benches, umbrella
stands, tabourets and foot-stools COM
prised the principal portion of the ex-
hibit. But especial mention must be
made of the exquisitely beautiful Ii
brary lamps which were unique as
well as artistic in design. This de-
partment of our schools is in charge
of Messrs. Van Duzee and Smallwood,
and the work of the pupils reflect the
hearty spirit of cooperation which ex-
lists between the instructors and the
students. Manual Training is taken
up in the 9th grade and students may
continue the work until they enter the
junior year of high school. The work
begins with simple elementary bench
work, leading thru wood turning, arch
itecture, drawing, advanced wood
work, and mechanical drawing. Each
student designs his own products and
works from his own drawings and
blue prints. No effort is made to teach
a trade, but rather to train the stu
dent to know how to do things and
to read blue-prints intelligently, be-
coming accurate and skillful in the
process as matter of course.
Lack of sufficient room has hamper
ed the work in this department but
with the facilities at hand the instruc-
tors are doing wonderfully good work.

DRADY BRUTE
Gets 3 II YEARS
George Hemmeken, Who Assaulted
Miss Alma Nelson With Pitch
fork, Pleads Guilty.

George Hemmeken, who assaulted
Miss Alma Nelson with a pitchfork,
some weeks ago at the home of the
young woman's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Nelson, ID miles southwest Of
Minot, in an attempt to take her life,
entered a plea before Judge Leighton
Tuesday and was sentenced to serve
three and half years at hard labor
in the penitentiary. 1t is considered
that Hemmeken got off very easily for
a criminal who committed such a ter
rible otfense.
Hemmeken was employed by the
young woman's parents. He professed
to love Miss Nelson, but she took a
dislike to him and spurned his atten-
tions. This enraged him and during
the absence of the father from home,
he attacked Miss Nelson with a pitch
fork as she was milking early one
morning. He beat her over the head
several times. She fought with the
brute and managed to get into the
manger. Here he stabbed her seveSal
times, intending to murder her. She
would have met death had not corset
stay diverted the course of the tine
VI Viz iol ~. Leaving CLS yOullS WO-
man more dead than alive, Hemmeken
went to the house. Miss Nelson re-
gained consciousness and made her
way to neighbor's half a mile dis
tant, where she summoned medical
aid. She hovered between life and
death for several days, but has now
fully recovered.
Sherwood Man Took Bad Tumble.
Lew Gregg, who lives in the vicinity
of Sherwood, nearly met death Mon
day evening when he fell backwards
down the areaway in front of the Mi
not Steam Laundry building. Gregg
was "pickled" at the time, otherwise
he would have Jared worse. He struck
on his head and received some severe
cuts. Gregg was perched on the rail-
ing, which appears to have given
away.

National Issues.


Experience: As a member of Con-
gress for four years from our state
have valuable experience in national
affairs, which would be highly advan-
tagious should become United States
Senator from North Dakota.
Water Power: We have right here
in North Dakota one Of the greatest
water powers in the world-the Mis-
souri, river. North Dakota furnishes
more money than any other state in
the Union for National Irrigation pro-
jects. / hold that this state is entitled
to the use of some Of these funds for
the purpose of damning the Missouri
river. The water of the river, if dam
med, and it can be, could be used for
irrigation over a large area, and, in
addition, power and light could be gen.
Grated to supply farms and towns over
vast territory.
Reciprocity Act: The Reciprocity
Act between the United States and
Canada should be repealed. I voted
against this act when a member of
Congress and should be elected to the
the repeal of this Law.
Tariff and Philippins: am Re-
publican and believe in reasonable
protective tariff. I believe we should
maintain our control of the Philip
pines until such time as we shall have
fulfilled our pledges and the inhabi-
tants of the island shall be fully cap
able of self government.
Preparedness: l am in favor of
preparedness. No one believes more
strongly in peace than l do, consistent
with virile Americanism. would well
come the day when the whole world
should agree to arbitration of inter-
national questions. I believe it is a
matter of necessity for the United
States, with present island posses
sions, with the Panama Canal, and
with the great place we are taking
among the nations of the world, to be
in a position to protect our citizens,
their lives and property, at home and
abroad. I strongly favor the Swiss
method of military training and am,
therefore, in favor of such prepared
ness as shall put our army upon a
sound basis and give us navy that
shall command the respect of all ma
tions Of the earth.
Our Foreign Policy: / am in favor
of strong foreign policy; one that
will keep the United States out of war
if possible, but which shall, at the
same time, keep to us the respect to
which we are entitled from other ma
tions.
I believe we should introduce econ
omy, thrift and efficiency into all de-
partments, both state and federal, and
will work to that end.
Upon these propositions ! submit
my cause to the people of North Da-
kota. have given them a clean, eco-
9omea1 administration fn iS have worked
citizen, as member of Congress and
as Governor, and upon the record
made, ask for support for the nomi-
nation for the United States Senator

school building was entirely devoted
to a display of the handiwork Of the
students Of this department. Dis
played upon the walls and upon tables
were hundreds of examples of the pu-
pills ability along the lines of sewing,
crochet work, embroidering, tatting,
and machine sewing. The neat and
careful manner in which the various
articles were designed was a revela-
tion to many who had supposed that
domestic science, as taught in our
schools, was only a fad. The major
portion Of the exhibits were things
that had practical value and use in
the household economy of any home,
consisting of aprons, dresses, chill
dren's garments, in fact, garments Of
every kind and articles requisite to
the home were displayed Miss Taylor,
who is in charge of this department in
our schools, says that her aim is to
make her instruction practical and
thorough. In cooking her pupils are
taught the art of bread-making, pas
try and every toothsome dainty that
the human appetite Graves being in
cluded among the list of eatables
which the pupils are taught to pre-
pare. Frequently Miss Taylor's classes
serve regular dinners when their
knowledge of the culinary art as well
as their ability to properly serve a
meal are put to the test.
Penmanship.
Perhaps no single subject in the
course Of study of the public schools
Of today is more neglected than the
art of writing. But happily this crit
icism does not apply to the Minot city
schools. Under the capable supervis-
ion of Miss Waters the pupils of our
schools are enjoying the privilege of
having one of the most efficient expon-
ents of the writing art among the ed
ucators of our great state. The COM
plete Palmer course of penmanship is
used. This system has come to be
recognized and accepted as the stan
dard, just as the Spencerian system at
one time held sway. Under the Palmer
system the pupil is led by carefully
planned gradations in the course to
advance step by step from the rudi-
mentary to the more advanced and in
tricate phases and finally, upon COM
pleting the course, the pupil, if found
proficient in the art, is awarded a di-
ploma. At times prior to this attain
ment, if his work shows sufficient mer-
it he receives a certificate of improve
ment. This year there were % who
received diplomas and % who were
awarded certificates of improvement.
Miss Waters is enthusiastic and un-
firing in her efforts, the immense dis
play of work by her pupils which re-
quired the wall space of two rooms in
the high school building attests the
excellence of her instruction and the
splendid work the pupils are doing un-
der her guidance.
Art.
The art exhibit filled every room
of the Central school building. Here
were displayed the work of the grades.
The exhibits covered work in water
colors, drawing, paper-cutting, etc.,
and was revelation to many visitors
of the wonderful possibilities that may
be developed in our youth along the
lines of talent in sketching and draw

CITIZENS WILL
DON 0vERALLS
Members of MinOt Auto Club Will
Work With Pick and Shovel Re- L
pairing the Roads.

An interesting meeting of the Mi
not Auto Club was held at the audi
torium of the public library Thursday
evening and important plans were laid
for improving the roads in the vicin-
ity Of Minot: The club has a fund of
several hundred dollars, raised from
membership fees, and this will be ex-
pended to the best advantage.
The club does not believe in Spout
ing hot air" but in doing things, as
was evidenced by immediate action.
The following morning, one of the
county's new graders was secured and
an engine hired. Some good work was
done on the road leading west from
Minot. Some of the city streets will
be fixed. Street Commissioner John
J. Lee attended the meeting and ex-
pressed his willingness to work with
the club.
County Commissioners Vanden-
oever, Lokensgard and Hennessy, who
were present, spoke favorable to the
work and offered some valuable sug-
gestions. The commissioners outlined
their plans for building good roads,
which appear very practical.
A Good Roads day was considered.
The Minot Auto Club will work in
unison with the citizens of some of
the surrounding towns and the men,
bers will don overalls for day, work.
ing with pick and shovel. They will
meet the workers from some other
town, and after repairing the roads,
will all journey back to Minot, where
luncheon will be served. Most of the
other towns in this section of the state
will organize clubs and some good
work will be done.
The next meeting of the club will
be held this evening.

CLEANUP NEEDED AT THE
CEMETERY. {

We take this opportunity to 6
speak a few words about cleaning 9
up and identifying the cemetery. g
Every year, just few days be- 9
fore Decoration day, it has been 9
customary, in most instances, for G
people to rush to the cemeteries 6
and do a little cheap fixing up,
merely for the sake of good looks 9
for that one day, and then neglect 9
the plots for the balance of the 6
; year. This is not right, and does 6
not show proper respect for the 9
) memories of the departed. It is 9
not the big, gaudy or fashy mon 4
) uments that make a beautiful g
) resting plot for the dead, but 9
something of a permanent ma g
; ture, in the way of improvements 6
to the landscape, that is worth g
) while and show the best respect. 9
1t might be better if monuments g
Of extravaganza, erected only for 9
show, were restricted in our cem- g
eteries and lot owners required in g
place of these to beautify their 6
lots and be limited to modest 6
headstones or markers. This /.
might bring more attention to g
the beautifying of the plots by g
people of modest means, who de- .
fer at present. A load or two of 6
black dirt and some grass seed g
) and flowers will not cost but g
couple of dollars, and if you do &
the work yourself it will add in 6
terest to the plots, and if every {
person would do but a little along .
these lines, our cemeteries would {
soon become noted as beauty .
spots, of their kind. Z
Minot at present has two ideal 9
;. spots for burial places and quite {
a little work has been done, but Z
much more can be done. Plenty {
of green grass, flowers and trees {
are within the reach of all, no .
matter how poor, and these /.
things make the beauty. After 9
making the start, keep it up, and {
each year add something perna- 9
nent. &

an out-of-door festival on the campus
Friday night. Informal stunts were

dancing was enjoyed until 1920.
