LIGHTS !.
ON The FARM

Lighting the farm by electric
ity is a great convenience and in
addition, a safeguard against
fire. Two things must be con-
sidered if satisfactory service is
to be assured-namely, a plant
of standard equipment, and
backed by a responsible con-
Germ that is really in the electric.
al business.
The Hope Implement Co., of
Hope, have the agency in Steele
County for the 24-Hour Sun.
shine Plant made by the West.
ern Electric Co. This is the big
electric company of the country
and their plant is sold on a
years guarantee.
If you buy the Western Flee
trio you have only one concern
to deal with all the way through
and have an agency in your own
home county. They furnish not
only the plant but all wiring.
fixtures, motors, irons. or any
thing that runs by electricity.
The Hope Implement Co. have
installed a plant on their sample
floor so that the real thing may
be seen, not a little demonstrate
or. Make it a point to see this
plant before purchasing. Both
the plant and the company will
bear careful inspection. Five
sizes to choose from and the
prices are about the same as
many of the inferior "assem'

THE SUPREME JUDGSHIP.

Chief Justice c. j. Fisk was jockeyed oft the
bench two years ago by servile pandering to the
clamors of the mob. There was no case against
Judge Fisk but his political enemies fashioned one
from whole cloth, and they nodded it to catch the
popular fancy of the moment, and as a result one
of the ablest jurists who ever has sat on north
western bench was lost to the commonwealth.
But it begins to appear that North Dakota, hav-
ing had time for that sober second thought which
always comes, no matter how great the hysterla
may have been, will gladly reconsider, and that
it will graciously accept the tender of further SER
vice which Judge Fisk has been prevailed upon
to make.
The return of Judge Fisk to the supreme bench
would do more than anything else we
know of to prove that North Dakota's
electorate is enjoying return OF sanity.
The supreme court needs the upright hon.
esty and judicial clarity of mind which have
characterized Judge Fsk's long public career He
is today at the height of his usefulness as public
servant Matured by many years experience as
both district and supreme court jurist, quickened
by two years closer contact with the people as a
private practitioner, Judge Fisk should return to
his high duties capable of stabilzing and restoring
to the first tribunal of our commonwealth that
dignity in which it has been so sadly lacking dur
ing the last two years.
