GOVERNOR MADE A TOUR OF
THE COUNTY THIS WEEK

The statement which provides that

vote cast for governor, secretary OF
state and attorney general at the pre-
vious election, has been declared un-
constitutional. -.
It is stated that under the decision

ticket could be named.
All of the democratic county noml-
nees whose names were presented at
the primaries in June will go on the
ballot for the fall election.
Doyle Was Here
Hon. S. J. Doyle, democratic candl-
date for governor, was here Tuesday
afternoon and spoke at the hall. He
did not have a very large crowd as
most of the farmers are now very
busy with threshing and could not
come in, and as he was late in arriv-
ing some who had gone to the hall
earlier hadegone home. His time was
limited so he was making the whole
county in one day, and was late in
coming here from Turtle Lake, but he
kept all his appointments for the day,
and spoke at Underwood and Garri-
son the same day as here.
Those who heard him were pleased
with the stand he took, especially on
the subject Of loyalty, He does not
stand for the same kind of loyalty"
that Townley does. He said "that the
great majority 5of farmers of North
Dakota, irrespective Of nationality, are
loyal to the federal government, there

"The 1916 legislative assembly pass

concurrent resolution known. as House
Bill No. A, proposing an entirely new
constitution for the state of North

Of the upper house, however, voted
against the measure, thereby securing
its defeat. Some of the provisions of
H. B. A are before the people Of this
state at the present time and will be
voted, upon by them at the general

ing that you favored the passage of
H. B. "A, and that you still favor legis-
lation as expressed in this measure,
and in the proposed constitutional
amendments. The writer, on the other
hand, believes that final passage of
H. B. A would have been direct vio-

vicious in the extreme; that they con-

an appropriation therefor. This bill
passed both the house and senate, but
was vetoed by you. 1 charge that in
vetoing this measure you violated a
promise of the platform upon which
you were elected to office.
1.-THE platform upon which you were
elected alsoa pledged to the people of
this state an administration of effic-
iency and economy in the conduct of
their public affairs. I charge here
again your administration has failed to
keep its pledge to the people, as there
has been an exorbitant and un-neces.
sary increase in the conduct of nearly
all the departments of the state gov
ernment.
Il believe that the voters of the
state are entitled to be given every
opportunity to gain thoroug under
standing of the issues which they must
decide by their ballots. and that you,
the governor of the state, and I, the
opposing candidate, should jointly rem
der all possible assistance To this
end l invite you meet me upon the
public platform in open discussion of
the issues herein set forth. 1t is my
suggestion that the number of such
discussions, and the times and places
where held, shall be determined by a
committee of six men, three to be Sc
lected by you and three by myself, and
the six so chosen to select the seventh
man, he to cast the deciding vote upon
all disputed questions. Such discus
sions would stimulate interest in gov
ernmental problems and result in a
clearer conception by the people of
the real issues involved.
""In order that the proposed COM
mittee and each of us may have ample
time to make proper announcement
and preparation, and that there may
be sufficient number of such discus
sions to permit a majority of the vot-
ers of the state to profit by them, I
request that you reply to this letter

Protest a Happy Endlno.

The Paris correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette recently reported curl
Gus suit that should interest the read
ers Of Flaubert's romance of Carthage.
The action was brought by the niece OF
Gustave Flaubert against the adapters
OF "Salammbo" for the cinema.
Flaubert, 1t Will be remembered,
finishes his novel with the mobbing
and death of Mathos before the eyes
Of his mistress, who seems entirely
Indifferent to his fate. This would not
do for the film. The adapters not only
save the generals life, but ring down
the curtain with the marriage of the
lovers, who live happily together ever
after" and have a multitude of chill
dren to grace their old age.
This platonic and commonplace end
Ing to masterpiece" Mortified the
dilettantes, who made so much fuss
about the carcaturing Of the story
that Flaubert,s literarS executor felt
compelled to take the matter up, and
has appealed to the courts for redress.

to be thrown away, or fed to farm ami.
mails, If 1t can be used for human
food
AT creameries where whole milk Is
handled, skim milk is often thrown
down the drains. Creameries ought
to make their skim milk into cottage
cheese.
Farmers ought to make cottage
cheese at home. Skim milk so used
will supplement out meat supply, for
cottage cheese is one OF the best sub.
stitutes for meat. Use 1t in your
cooking.
Make and eat cottage cheese and en-.
courage others to use 1t.
Make puddings and soups and
bread with skim milk.

States department Of agriculture,

to make cottage cheese In the home

Birds That Are Credited
With Bringing Good Luck

Tradition has II that late swallow
brings good luck to the hostel he IA
vors, and many country people still
regard the bird as semiconsecrated,
and refuse to allow it's empty nest to
be interfered with during the winter
months, observes London Tit-Bits.
With the spring, the birds return to
their original caves, and 1t is a sign
of impending misfortune If they neg.
lect their former nests. A swallow at
sea brings disaster In It's train, but a
sand swallow Is considered mascot
by the surrounding countryside.
Even the humble hedge sparrow may
lay claim to some share Of notoriety,
for illness attacks the occupant of the
room into which 1t gains access. A
dead wren is another little treasure,
and the superstitious Manx fishermen
would never set sail at one time with
out one. A live wren will not work the
same result, but a dead wren can vie
with the renowned caul among sea SUI
perstitions.

Rabbits Of the World.

All Of the domestic varieties Of rab-
bits, except the Belgian hare. are de-
scendants of the burrowing rabbits of
the Old World. and the big European
hare, almost as large as our western
Jackrabbit, is the ancestor OF the 30
called Belgian form, which Is now
quite popular as a domestic animal Of
profit and is becoming more SO. OBJ
serves an exchange.
In the Northern hemisphere Of the
New World we have many more species
of hsres than the Old World can boast
Of. as the cottontail. the Southern
swamp hare. the Arctic hare or snow
shoe rabbit and two species OF West
ern jackrabbits or giant hares. Yet
we have not successfully domesticated
one Of these forms. though this might
be done as matter Of profit In the
production of meat.

Seer's Words Considered InfaIIIbIe,

No one doubts the fortune teller In
China. His word is regarded as infal-
lible. When he becomes rich on the
offerings Of the credulous, the Chinese
reader Of the future installs himself In
luxurious apartments. There, in a
darkened room. the wealthy visit him
just as the coolie did on the street.
Even westerner becomes impressed
with the sense of mysticism when he
enters one Of these chambers. about
the wall hang red and black curtains,
embroidered with Chinese characters.
Strange, hideous faces of bronze idols
peer from dim recesses; wavering
lights flicker and cast protentous shad-
ows. Spiral rings of incense ascend
and evolve into mysterious shapes.
In the center Of the room sits the
specialized oracle. Before he talks
some one I'm the distance begins beat
Ing tom-toms; there are ghostly cries
as he consults the spirits, but as he
begins to speak in monotone other
sounds discontinue and one can almost
hear the knees OF the superstitious pa
irons knocking together In the semi
darkness.

Airplanes Take Movies OF
Foe AIon1 Battle Fronts

American pre-eminency in the NOV
les has made itself felt at the front,
where United States airplanes
equipped with motion picture cameras
clicking constantly as the machine
whirrs over German positions are rap
idly coming into use, writes II c0rre-
spondent. When the war started both
allied and German airmen speedily
saw the advantage of photographs of
the enemy's defcnSes, and pocket ko-
dakS came into use. Next the machine
carrying larger camera and de-
Tended by a battle plane was brought
forth. The camera grew larger and
larger and the Italians finally pro-
duced machine which had a large
aperture I'm the bottom, through which
camera took pictures In rapid sue
cession. 1t remained for the Ameri-
cans, however, to place complete
motion picture machine In this aper-
ture and to take thousands of feet of
film of long lines OF Prussian fortifi-
cations, trenches and troop move
ments.

Selection of Books From
Lists Will Fill Gaps in

There are gaps on the children's
book Shelves-books are missing that
have been worn out by fingers too
eager to be careful. or, worse still,
there are staring spaces that you
have been unable to fill, writes Char
lotte A. Baker. You are planning to
fill these gaps gradually, but you have
little time to give to the work. This
means that you must depend upon
lists, and that you must know your
lists are reliable.
Recently the Michigan library COM
mission gave the Colorado library COM
mission generous supply Of the lists
they had worked out for their dis
trict, rural, and high school libraries
The selections in these lists are made

FROGS AND WHAT THEY EAT
croakers Thrive on Almost Any Form
OF Animal Life Small Enough to
Be Seized and Swallowed.

The food Of the frog consists of
earthworms. insects. spiders and any
form of animal life small enough to
be seized and swallowed. Large frogs
Will often devour their smaller rela-
tives. The big bullfrog Is an especial
ly dangerous enemy to other members
of Its kind. 1t has been known even
to eat small birds. Some frogs are
fond of snails and will swallow them
shells and all. says Boys Life.
1t is interesting to note that frogs
can eat bees and wasps notwithstand-
ing the sting. In seizing food it usu-
ally makes use of Its curious extern
sile tongue, which can be thrust out
of the mouth with surprising rapidity
The tongue Is attached to the front of
the jaw, Its forked rear end free so
that 1t can be Tipped out of the mouth.
1t is supplied with a sticky secretion
that picks up the food. The frog can
not see an object near to itself. Any
dangling bait should, therefore, be at
distance of from two to three feet.
Frogs may be caught by dangling
small bits of red yarn before them on
a hook and sometimes even without a
hook. When the yarn is seized the ami
NAL may be jerked out of the water.
Bullfrogs kept in captivity readily at
tempt to swallow ones fingers.
