OF my life. ! have never kissed one.

least. But the words OF the young
man who blandly states that he

he has induced TO surrender her
good senre fills me with righteous
indignation. BY what code OF ethics
can he who kisses deem himself
higher and In position TO disrcnpect
the one whom he has kissed2 Sure
ly one Is foolish TO the same extent
az tho other. And why, may ! ask.
cannot girl, reversing the situation,

FARGO PEOPLE WOULD
MAKE NATIONAL PARK
Petitions Being Circulated Asking For
Reserve on BerthoId Near Sanish.


Petitions are in circulation here in
which the department Of the interior
and congress are asked to set aside as
an historical park a tract Of land ad-
joining the town of Sanish, Mountrail
county, on the TT. Berthold reserva-
ton. containing 25S acres. The petit
tons call attention to the historical
value Of these lands to the state and
to the nation.
The land in question is on the
Missouri river and includes within its
boundaries the second highest butte in
the state. 1t also contains many evil
dences Of former days In the state, the
ground being covered with buffalo
trails and wallows and the ancient
Hidatsa village lies near the base of
the butte. History shows that the spot
was visited by the Verendrye explor-
ing expedition in 1913. the first record
ed visit of white men to the state.
The plan of those behind the move
ment to make this a national park is
to erect a monument on the spot in
memory Of the Verendrye expedition
should the park plan materialize.
The petitions have been started by
the state historical society, being
placed in the hands Of III. J.. Hagen,
who is a member of the board of
directors Of the society. Several local
people are interested in circulating the
petitions adm many signatures are be-
ing received.
