sailor in the o. s. navy.
You might say I was brought up on
the water.
When I was twelve years old went

Therifus, out of Boston. She was an
old square-rigged sailing ship, built
moro for work than for speed. We
were out four months on my first
cruise, and got Knocked around q lot.

land Banks, where we lost our instru-

that q fourteen-year-0ld boy should be
helmsman on an ocean-going craft.
but all over the world you will see
young lads doing their trick at the
wheel. I was on the Southerndown
two years and In that time visited
most Of the important ports Of Eu-
rope. There IL nothing like q tramp
steamer If you want to see the world.
The Southerndown is the vessel that,
In the fall of 1917. sighted German
U-boat rigged up like sailing ship.
Although liked visiting the foreign
ports, got tired of the Southernd0wn

Il You Don't Need II, Advertise 1t and
Sell II to Somebody Who Does!

n TANY of us are such creatures of habit
lVE that we store away something of use
and value which is not Immediately
useful to us, on the theory that sometime
1t may come in handy"
In these times. when useful things are IN
special demand, and the production OF COM
modities is necessarily curtailed, there is a
real market for USED ARTICLES.
What article of value are you storing
away for possible-but not probable-future
use?
Would it not be advisable to advertise it.
and sell 1t for cash. to somebody to whom
it would be Immediately valuable?
You may not particularly need" the
money it would bring to you. But you
could USE THAT MONEY to better advan-
tage now than at any previous time of your
life. You could use it to buy war securities
and every dollar of it would thus be en-
listed in the great fight for the freedom of
mankind
Do you not feel that such an additional
investment on your part over and above
the amount you can afford to expend out
of your regular income-would be of real
service to your country and your cause?
For it rs your cause" just as surely as this
is your country!

OLD MEMBERS RETURNED

Rep. A. M. Hagan, the father Of
House Bill A, Or, perhaps, more cor
rectly, the foster father. as 1t is gen
orally known that this waif was born
In St. Paul and brought here we'll he
yond the teething stage for adoption,
will represent Bottineau in the senate
of the next assembly. Rep. Hagan will
succeed Sen. l.. P. 'Sandstrom, q re.
publican hold-over in the last senate
who voted usually with the OPPOSITION,
although occasionally he lined up with
the league t.n.,
'Hagan's name was attached to
House Bill A and to many other
league caucus measures. He was &C.
casionally suspected of not even hav-
ing read bills for which he stood
sponsor. Nevertheless he proved an
excellent floor manager for President
Townley and he will be one Of the in
ner circle of leaguers in the senate.
Bottineauyreturns J.. G. Miller and L..
L. Stair, the Siamese twins, who oc-
cupied seats together, voted together
and trained together during the last
session. The county also returns Nels
Magnuson, while William Martin,
Lacquer, succeeds Hagan in the house.
Stair, and Magnuson are democrats.
Miller is a republican and it is pre-
stunned, in thes absence nofGevidence to
the contrary, that aMrtin is a repub-
Ncan. So.
Rep. Stair had hoped to be toastine
his toes in the office, of the United
States marshal at Fargo. Several
months ago he went to Washington
with a Nonpartisan petition praying
hrs appointment The petition was
