This is being done to allow the can

many OF the clubs of $40 each as
possible and to insure them of MAX
ing a whirlwind finish and putting
them well on the road to success.
Today's publication of the list of
standings show activity all along the
line. Some of the candidates are
coming strongly to the front and are
leaving behind those who are disposed
to depend more on the interest of
friends to save coupons than their
own efforts directed toward the more

In every race there are those who
enter with vim and determination,

agement. Needless to say everyone
VINO drops out makes the pathway of
someone else just so much easier.
When you listen to the hard times
story or are met with a rebuff or
some one tries to talk you out of your
purpose to stick in the campaign,
just remember that by yielding 70
such encouragement you are taking
what rightfully belongs to you and
putting it in the hands of some other

of it than you are.
This is not a campaign in which
only one can win. There is certainty
of reward in the commission which
will be paid to every candidate who

If you find it hard, reflect that 9th

well to consider whether or not yol

ANCIENT HISTORY
OF NORTHWEST
Supreme Court Goes Back
to 1901 in Settling Disput-
ed Road Property.

Bismarck, N. D.. May 9.-Going back
to the explorations Of Henry Hudson
in 1901, and tracing the westward
movement Of the Indian tribes OF the
Mississippi valley through the various
migrations down to 1911; then skip
ping to more modern history as found
in the public highway act of congress
in July, 1856, the creation Of Dakota
territory in 1871, ard Of the Devils
Lake Indian reservation in 1874, the
supreme court in an opinion handed
down today finds that the district
court of Benson county was correct in
denying John d. Faxon damages from
the township of Lallie, Benson county,
for a 66-foot strip Of land seized by
that township for the opening of a
public road.
An interesting feature Of the opinion
is this statement: The public land
situated in the territory of Dakota and
the state OF. North Dakota at no time
belonged to the Indians, and the courts
Of North Dakota have never recognized
any title in the Indians thereto"
Mr.. Faxon loses out in his claim for
remuneration because under the pub
lie highway act of congress, adopted
June 26, 1865, and which antedated any
agreements which the United States
government or the territory may have
made with the Indians in establishing
the reservation, eight years later, sites
for highways through public lands of
the government in the northwest ter
ritory were formally set aside. And
that act remains binding, in spite of
the fact that title in the lands affected
has changed hands at various times
in the last fifty years. The judgment
Of the district court is affirmed.

JAMESTOWN JUST
MISSED TRAGEDY
Iron Support Gives Way in
School Building Endan-
gering Lives of Pupils.

jamestown, N. D., May 9.-What
might have resulted in a tragedy UNI
equaled in the history of jamestown
was narrowly averted at the Junior
high school building yesterday when
an iron support commenced slowly
tearing its way through the flooring
in classroom on the first floor, caus-
ing tremor throughout the entire
structure and allowing the floor of the
classroom above to sag a depth of
three and one-half inches. Quick work
on the part Of Instructor L. l.. Lamb,
who dismissed his pupils Immediately
and marched them from the room in
an orderly manner, and also on the
part of X. X. King, manual training
instructor, who rushed to the base
ment and with the assistance of a
workman placed a brace under the
weakened iron post. was undoubtedly
responsible for averting a serious ac-
cident.
Faulty construction by engineers
who erected the Junior high school.
which is wooden structure and has
been standing for the past 40 years,
was apparent after a thorough inves-
tigation. The iron support which gave
way was found to be resting on mere
ly the flooring of the first story and
was located several inches from a
beam, on which 1t naturally should
have been stationed.

HOW TO MAKE SCRAP
BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS
Mrs. sudIons, Tells How to do Work
for the Soldiers in the Trenches.
In Europe. .

Bismarck, N. D. May 9.-Mrs. M. c.
Budlong, secretary OF the North Da-
kota library commission and vice
chairman of the library and literary
extension bureau Of the National Fed
Grafton of Women's clubs, is receiving
daily requests for advice as to the best
manner of making up scrap books to
be furnished the soldier boys in the
trenches and hospital patients in the
war zone. The task of experimenting
this work in North Dakota has been
assigned to Mrs. Budlong by the ma
tionaI chairman, and there has been a
splendid response from this state since
this opportunity to do bit" first was
explained in the press.
"Scrap books for soldiers" said Mrs.
Budlong today, should be light In
weight, inexpensive in construction,
and numerous in quantity. They should
be easy to handle, so cheap that they
may be thrown away when sanitation
demands, and in quantities sufficient
to supply thousands of men and to
enable them to have a change of read
ing every day If desired. For this rea-
son, no stiff covers should be used
and no expensive materials. Articles
cut from newspapers can be pasted on
wrapping paper or on to the leaves Of
catalogues, which are usually thrown
away. 1t is better to divide the cat
alog into many sections, limiting the
scrap book to less than dozen
pages, 30 that they can be easily
rolled.
'aThe contents of the scrap books
should be cheerful, optimistic, patriot
ic. No depressing articles should be
permitted. Jokes cut from the col
umns OF daily newspapers and month
ly periodicals are the best possible
Illustrations are interspersed, very at
tractive booklets may be made. 1t is
4. good plan to have some OF the book
lets consist OF poems alone. others OF
Jokes alone, and some of the combin-
ations of the two. Modern poets are
contributing hundreds of short. pithy,
optimistic, patriotic verses which are
full Of cheer and comfort to the men
at the front
"Short stories are acceptable if care
fully selected. They may be bound to-
gether with their illustrations between
covers of wrapping paper, and can be
fastened in with eyelets, pasted with a
little mucilage at the back edges, or
sewed in place, Many different ways
will occur to ingenious workers for
arranging these materials. The es-
sentials are that they be light in
weight, numerous in quantity and in
expensive"
This movement was started by the
literature and library committee Of the
General Federation of Woman's clubs,
but all women, whether club members
or not, and all children, are urged to
clip and prepare as much OF this ma
terial as possible before the sterner
duties of the war are laid upon them.
All such material prepared in North
Dakota will be sent to the proper au-
thoritias IL forwarded to Mrs. G. Bud
long, Bismarck
