LEONARD H. N0RD

Who served the C2nd district in the
State Senate for the past term is or
Norwegian parentage, settled in Min
nesota in 1885. He was home
steader and colonizer in this section
of the state for many years.
Mr.. Nord crufSed over the larger
portion Of Beltrami and KOOchiching
counties, and covered practically ev-
cry township in these counties.
This valuable experience has given
Mr.. Nord first hand knowledge Of
the needs Of this district, so that
if he is elected to represent II in the
state senate he will be better able
to do so than ,One who has not had
this experience.
His record in the Senate during the
last two sessions entities him to cleo
ton to this office. Bemidji's Normal
School would not have been erected,
but for Mr. Nord's efforts in its
behalf
7'he anti-injunction labor bill, in
.ch the laboring classes were in
crested, passed because Of his eff
forts.
Other enactments which are credit
ed to Mr.. Nord are the dynamite bill,
criminal cyndicalism law, amend
ment No. /, and all legislation which
passed favOring Northern Minnesota.
Voters will do well to return him
for another term. He will appreciate
your support.

NEWS ANDLETTERS
FROM BEITRAMI co.
S0LDIERS-SAIL0RS
pat" ADVISES THE LORD.

TA1 AL 1SCIS ILL AOnD.
Once in long while a good war
story of a humorous vein crops out
and often are used as means to
further the war work Of the Y. M.
c.. \. and K of c., and such one
is as follows
Lost in Transit.
This story comes from France via
Chicago:
An Irish soldier, after eight
piled for Through. His request
was granted, and then it daWned on
him that he had no money to take
advantage of his holiday. He wanted
500 to go to Paris. He was at his
wits end, there being no time to be
lost, when he recalled his old moth
er's advice to apply to the good God
above in time Of trouble. So he
wrote and posted this letter:
Dear Lord: Here l am after
fightin' ten months in mud up
to me neck The work is some
what unpleasant, but yell be
glad to hear that I've killed fifty
Germans Now, I'm little tired
and l have me furlough all
right, but l have no money left,
having spent most of what had
for prayer books. Ask Father
Mccarthy if you don't believe
me. So, Lord, l ask ye in the
name Of all the Saints, for the
sum of $500. Sure yell never
miss it, and if we send me the
money, I'll never forget ye in
me prayers.
, PAT CASEY.
In due course this appeal reached
the censors office, which happened,
in this particular locality, to be
housed in the Y. M. c. A. quarters.
The letter was passed around and
aroused considerable attention and
interest, as Casey was known to be
brave and cheerful fighter. Con-
tributions were sought and finally
the sum of $50 was raised. This
was sent to the applicant without
further comment in Y. M. c. A.
envelope. The next day the following
acknowledgment was received:
Dear Lord: I've received your
remittance as per application for
furlough money and l thank we.
May yer shadow never grow less.
But | make bold as to give a
word of advice. Send the next
money by the X. C.'s. Ye sent
the last by the Y. M. G. A. and
they nipped half of it.
