When the body Of the unfortunate
boy was found two large greyhounds
sat shivering in the snow guarding
their young masters remains from
wolves and other wild beasts
After the boys burial the two
faithful hounds would make almost
daily trips out to the cemetery and
sit for hours at his grave. On these
days they would not partake Of bite
to eat until they returned to the In
gram home.
Many have followed the dogs to the
cemetery out Of curiosity to see what
they would do. They were often
found lying there. one on each side
OF the grave, their heads between
their paws, as If in silent prayer.
Last summer the dogs were seen
to gather wild pansies and violets in
their mouths and trot of toward the
cemetery, where they would deposit
the flowers upon the boys grave.
These flowers were favorites with the
Lad. About a month ago the two

ind nothing wrong with them. How
ever, they still refused to eat and
finally disappeared.

Morgan City Publishing
Company Closes Sue
cessful Year
Stock Earnings of 1918 Passed
to Undivided Profits to
Meet Growing Business
Demands

of the Morgan City Publishing
Company Wednesday afternoon,
the report of the company for the
year 1918 was presented showing
return to the stockholders for
the twelve months of eighteen
per cent. on their investment. A
thorough discussion of the COM
pany business and prospects de-
.cided the directors to pass the
earnings to the undivided prof
its account and this action was
formally taken. The business
outlook for 1919 and the ex-
,panding territory being develop
ed by the newspaper and print
ing business operating the plant
of the Publishing Company led
the directors to believe that the
best interests of the stockhold-
ers would be served by withhold
ing the distribution of profits for
the present. On the council of
Mr.. G. L. Wise, the attorney for
the corporation, a motion was
made by Mr.. Hy. Loeb and Sec
onded by Mr.. H. M. Gotten that
such action be taken. The mo-
tion was favorably voted by the
directors present.
The Morgan City Publishing
Company was organized and in
corporated in July, 1916. The
revenues from all stock sold
were applied to plant and equip
ment and the holdings of the
corporation were leased outright
to the Morgan City Review
Printing and Newspaper busi-
ness. The Company was origi-
nally capitalized at $4,000. At
the end of 18 months from or
ganization, the stockholders
realized 25 per cent. dividend
on their stock and raised the
capitalization to $12,OOO.OO. On
this capitalization, the year just
ended netted the stockholders 18
per cent. In order to avoid in
creasing the capital stock Of the
corporation and yet to provide
for the increasing demand for
additional plant facilities to meet
the growing business of the les
see, the directors saw fit to leave
undisturbed the profits of the
corporation for the time being.
The officers of the Morgan
City Publishing Company are:
Mr.. L. J. Bass, President ; Mr.. w.
]. Lowrance, President; MIR.
F. D. Winchester, Treasurer; Mr..
K. S. Foster, Secretary. Other
of the directors are:
Messrs. Hy. Loeb, H. M. Gotten,
C.. L. Wise, E. A. Pharr, M. E.
Norman, A. F. Storm and C. E.
King. Both the directors of the
Publishing Company and the les
see of the plant wish to offer
their thanks to the people Of
Morgan City, Berwick and sur
rounding territory for the splen-
did support which has been CIV
en- their business and to again
renew the pledge of continued
unbiased service which has char
acterized the policies of the Re-
view in its newspaper and gen.
eral business capacities. Every
effort is being made to bring the
standard of newspaper and gen.
eral commercial printing service
up to that high standard which
the interests of this, the finest
community in the state deserve.

FORESTRY STATE NORMAL
SCHOOL

Miss Flora Cameron Burr address,
ed the school last Friday morning pre-
sent in an earnest manner and with
considerable literary skill the follow
ing legend and aspirations Of the Scot
fish people. She spoke in part as fol-
lows:
"Let me tell you the hope at this
hour Of certain families of the Celtic
race through a legend handed down
through many generations-the dream
Of the ancient people Of the Isle Of
Britain, who yet retain today their
W customs, more or less, and have
living, written languages. The Le-
gend runs thus: And there fell a.cer
tain time when the Great Father of
the Race would bestow upon the child
rem of the Isles the greatest Of all
gifts, next to life itself, which they
were not to question o refuse, for
should they do so upon them should
fall calamity and dire disaster. The
priests, and the who were also
the bards of the land, were directed
to cause to be erected in the homes of
the clachan, the Smelling, and the cas-
tie, affairs Of unhewn stone, each stone
bearing a name, as love, faith, cour-
age, and generosity, truth and purity,
and to gather the people upon the
hills, the day the sun shone through
the mist upon the purple heather. And
they came, the people of the hill and
the people Of the sea, of the muir and
glen, and amidst them came the dwell
lers of the waves, and the departed
who love to linger in the mist, and
who share forever the joys and the
sorrows of their ace
"And then fell a flame from heaven,
variegated as the rainbow, brighter
than the sun in its glory, lighting the
: whole land, as did the fire Of the Lord
the sacred Mount of old. And its rays
fell upon the white robes Of the priests
the somber mantles Of the bards and
upon the killed and plaided chiefs, un-
til their garments became v~aricolored
and checkered, and the people called
the coloring the breachan. And as a
clansman understood and valued the
gift, he too might wear a tartan, the
Great Giver bestowing' on each clan
it's pattern.
Nor were the people afraid of the
flame, though Heretofore they had
only known the warmth of the sun,
and the light of the heavens.
Into huge iron kettles the priests
gathered the Goals thereof and spread
them upon the affairs in the homes OF
the clachan, the Smelling and the cas-
tie. And the people called it the fire of
the Living God.
1t was never to go out, day or night;
through storm or shine; in joy or dis

NO CONFUSION OF ISSUES.

Governor Frazier will be commended by all
right thinking people for his refusal to hold the
referendum and initiative elections on the same
date. There is not the slightest doubt that the
terminal elevator, the home building and the
,rural credits bills for the sole purpose of con-
fusing the voters. These bills were SO greatly
similar to three of the laws which have been
referred that even the most Intelligent students
of public affairs would have had difficulty in
telling them apart. Only the titles Of the bills
would have appeared on the official ballot and
to distinguish between the genuine terminal
elevator, home building and Bank of North Da-
kota laws passed by the legislature and the fake
measures initiated by the I. V. A.
The Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
crowd initiated these bills with the intention
that thousands of citizens would vote for the
wrong bills. They expected that many others in
their doubt might not vote at all on the Conflict
ing bills. The I. V. A.. bills were initiated with
the deliberate plan of obscuring the issue and
deceiving the public.
Governor Frazier has foiled that plot. Now
the referred laws will be voted for separately
and upon their merits. Each citizen will have
a fair opportunity to vote either for or against
these measures without being confused by a
similarity in title.
This insures an honest election. The vote will
be a fair test as to whether or not the people
approve these laws. Even the I. v. A. cannot
object to this-that is, if they believe in ma
jorty rule.
The sort of an election which the I. V. A.
planned would have been a travesty. Governor
Frazier did exactly right in exposing and frus-
trating this contemplate conspiracy to thwart
the will of the people. Those who believe in
majority rule and the sanctity of the ballot will
applaud his action regardless of their political
affiliations.

men and women Of the clans. For as
surely as the fire died down upon a

The days and years passed and the
people learned more fully of the flame.

Great Father alone was king and no

men stood shoulder to shoulder, fol

The grandmother took the newborn
babe beside the hearth SO the rays Of
the flame might fall upon it, singing q
song of love and home, and at night
she never forgot to smoor the fire
grooming the lays Of the clans, to keeI
it alive. And as a Scottish mother

THEIR USUAL STYLE.

The. Grand Forks Herald Of May 10th prints
a letter from a Lieutenant Charles "A. Dawson
OF the 35Oth Infantry, 88th Division, addressed
to Governor Lynn J. Frazier in which the form
er makes an unworthy and cowardyl attack
on the Governor, using the prestige he has as a
soldier to do the dirty work for as big a bunch
of political pirates as ever tried to sink a state
with a campaign of unwarrantAd and lying at
tacks upon it's officials and people. The cam
paign that the Grand Forks Herald, Fargo For
UNI, Bismarck Tribune and some of the smaller
character assasins have waged for the past two
years can only be compared to the campaign
waged by the Government press of Kaiser Bill
against the fair people of France several years
prior to the European war. If anyone can show
us where any of the aforementioned papers
have ever taken a stand in accordance with the
ideals that the Stars and Stripes fought for,
we will make a public apology for this article.
And we are going to withhold Judgment on
Lieut.. Dawson for the present, as we believe he
got his information from these sheets. If he
had the unvarnished truths he would know
that North Dakota has a record of loyalty to
their boys unsurpassed by any state. It is the
ium to protect the soldiers property when he
was away fighting for his country. It is also
creating a fund to pay to every soldier a sum
of $500 per1nonth for each month he put in
the service.
We have boys returning every day from over
alos hear from the boys still in France and we
are going to tell Lieut.. Dawson that we are not
afraid to meet the boys and show our record of
service to them when they return for the Star
of North Dakota is the brightest of our great
Union today and will continue to increase in it's
brilliancy as long as our beloved and patriotic
Governor Lynn j. Frazier continues to guide it's
destiny, despite the base, lying and unwarranted
attacks of the above sheets of this and %neighbor-
ing states.
The Gospel of Hate was preached by Kaiser
Bill and his satellites in Germany and by the
above mentioned papers in North Dakota. Bill
has met his fate and the latter are very close
to their final accounting.

NOT so
A state daily runs this item:

A state daily runs this Item:
Tn weighing as much as a wagonload of grain
in some parts of India, when regulation weights
may not be easily obtainable, the weigher re-
sorts to the practice of substituting his elbow
for the 5-pound weight, and his half-bended
knee for the 10-pound weight. Both buyer and
vender seem to be satisfied with this method;
which is remarkably precise in the hands of the
adopts"
Still we refuse to yield the palm to the "poor
benighted Hindoo," for this performance as to
weighing grain. We are acquainted, to our sor-
row., with certain Minnesota Aryans who weigh
out the dockage from our grain, make us pay
transportation upon it and sell it back to us
again for cattle feed at $4,000 a ton. We are
further acquainted with other Minnesota Ar
vans who establish the value of wheat by it's
color, size and shape rather than by OTIS flour
making quality. Laugh, if you will at the Hindoo
who makes his elbow weigh five pounds Of grain
and his knee weigh ten poundss-but don't stop
there. Laugh some more at our enlightened
methods Of weighing dockage and judging
wheat, that we have pursued for these thirty
years and are only about to change-if the
grain gamblers will kindly permit.
