To-day had the pleasure of hear

the republican candidate for COVER

must say he made a masterful adj
dress for he accomplished in one
hour what failed to accomplish in
two years-changing one straight,
reactionary republican into a fight

san ideas This particular man
owns 100 acres OF we'll improved
land in North Dakota on which he
pays about $1,000 per year taxes,
while he also owns Roberts county
land on which he pays more than
twice as much. This particular man
also knows that part of his $1,000
North Dakota tax pays liberal SOL
dier bonus, while the tax in South
Dakota pays nothing TO our soldiers.
This particular man was also very
much incensed over the misrepre-
sentation concerning the libeious
free love bunk about the North Da-
kota farmers for he happens to
know that the man Harris, who in
trOd,.ced free love bill in the
North Dakota legislature and later
apOlogized for It, has ever since
been engaged in the attempt to de-
feat the League in North Dakota.
This man also happens to know
that ]. F. O'COnnor, who is the can
didate for governor in North Dako-
ia against the League candidate,
was one of a committee of to in
vestigate the charge that free love
books were sent out in the circulat-

happens to know that the book

Advice Handed Out by Successful
Business Men Is, to Use Slang

A successful lumber merchant mas
been giving a newspaper interviewer
a few Of the mental wrinkles that In
fiuenced him IN the making Of money.
Here are some of them:
IF your initials spell a word II
means you will be rich.
IF. on the other hand, you mend
garment while wearing IL, you VIII al
ways be poor.
IF your right hand itches 1t Is
sign that you will receive money. IL
your left hand itches you Will spend
II. This is because right begins win
r and r stands for receive, while l.
stands for let go.
"Whel. you see a shooting star you
should say money AS many times
as you are able to say the word du-
ring the fall of the star, so many eX-
ira dollars will you have in your
pocket as result"
Helpful words, aren't they? Well
they are no better and no worse than
tho bulk of the talk handed out by
Successful men for the guidance on
their fellows-that is, in the matter
of making money. The rich or sue
cessful business man doesn't disclose
his real secrets-if he has any
though he often attends club lunch-
cons or dinners and makes speech

Curious FATIGUE Test.

A unique method has been discov-
cred to measure just how tired ones
body becomes after hours of work. A
line is drawn across the forearm with
q sharp point, not sharp enough TO
break the skin, but only to drive out
the blood and leave a straight white
line on the skin. An observer hoidlng
a stop watch measures the time 1t
takes for the blood to rush back into
the skin and the white line to fade.
The exact number of seconds and frac-
tion of q second is recorded. This test
is repeated say at intervals of one
hour all day until the working hours
are over. When these readings are
plotted on paper a curve is drawn
which tells at a glance Just how ones
energy GIBBS throughout the day. There
is always a marked jump in the line
after lunch hour.-Boys' Life.
