Victory Worth While.

There's no satisfaction equal to the
consciousness OF measuring up to your
limits. The man who does the merely
ordinary things can never take the
pride in his achievements men Of
vision take They see what lies be-
yond the ken Of calculating mOrtals.
Struggle to them Is second nature.
They delight in hard things because
they are hard. And to them come the
great victories that never tarry long
enough to be made sure to the weak
ling and the fearful. 1t may cost toll
and struggle to land the crowns men
pray for, but they have no value with
out sacrifice. When men purchase re.
wards that demand the strain Of every
capacity to win them, they are train
ing the personalities in reserve that
when set to work mark the superman.

Former Governor L. B. Hanna gives
some mighty good advice anent the
present financial situation in North
Dakota when he says this is not time
of panic, but one when the sta
county, city and individual should
spending cent that is not actually
practice the strictest economy, not
necessary. North Dakota grew great
crops in 1918 which sold at war time
prices. The banks were bursting with
money. Everybody had more money
than was needed. Money was loaned
out at low rate. Nearly everybody
bought stock in some sort of enter
prises and spent more than they should
have for Injuries. Many bought more
land and other property, going into
debt on large scale. Stock sales
men would take peoples notes for
stock, sell the notes to banks at dis
count and instead of accepting cash.
would accept certificates CT deposit
payable in six months or year. The
banks hoped to collect on these notes
but two poor years of crops followed
and just recently the price of pro-
ducts started to 60 down. The banks
have been unable to collect on the
notes and their reserves are low. Ii
appears that our people have gone
into debt during good times and now
they must crawl out of debt in hard
times. Mr.. Hanna predicts that ev-
erything will come out all right, but
emphasizes the fact that we should all
exercise the strictest economy.

HEN AND KITTEN cHuMmY
Really Remarkable Case Of Friend
ship That Is Vouched for by
Woman Writer.

The strangest friendship that the
writer has ever seen was that Of q
young Plymouth Rock hen and white
kitten.
When the kitten was about two
months old she was very fond of be-
ing around in the chicken park, or
wherever the chickens were She was
the friendliest kitten alive and showed
a disposition to chum with every liv-
ing thing. But the chickens paid no
attention to her except to get out of
her way. The hen In question, how
ever. met her advances kindly and
they soon became boon companions.
Many times !; day they were TO be
seen walking together around the
place. The hen would frequently stand
still while kittie would rub back and
forth against her breast. And while
Biddy scratched for bugs and worms
the little white kitten was never far
away. We do not know what was
their means of communication, but
they evidently had satisfying one,
for they never seemed to tire Of each
other They associated together to
the exclusion of the other fowls and
cats OH the place. One seldom saw
Biddy with the other chickens. and
little white kitten absolutely deserted
her little white twin. We sometimes
wondered If the kitten thought she
~vas a chicken or the hen believed her
self to be cat At all events. they
were most cOngenial.
This state of affairs continued until
the sale of the farm necessitated their
being parted.-Mabe J. NcIlwane. in

Martin Johnson is Given Cows,
Horses and Money

L. T. Larson, of forming township,
was in the city Wednesday. Mr.. Lar
son states that Martin Johnson, who
lost all of his horses and cattle in a
recent fire, has been remembered nice
ly by the good people Of Ward county.

ed 500 cow and calf; two others
presented him each with fresh cow.
He received two good horses and sub

such poor Thanksgiving day for
himself and family after all.

pains across the small Of my back and
my nerves were badly upset. l was
troubled a great deal with constipa-

a dull, mean headache.

to take Tanlac and it proved to be the
very thing l needed. Although have
taken only three bottles the rheuma-
tism has left me entirely and l never

all the time and no matter what or
how much l eat l never suffer from it

&C. r. Shorb Reports Hold-up Near
Surrey

Sheriff Scofield, Deputy Vanden-
toever and two assistants made an auto
trip out to the G. r. Shorb farm south
of Surrey Wednesday night to inves-
tigate a report Of hold-up in that
vicinity. Mr.. Shorb had phoned in
that a whiskey car coming that way
had stopped near his place, and that
he was held up by one of the drivers.
He said the fellow held gun close
to him but as he carried nothing of
value, he lost nothing. He reported
that the car broke down south of his
place and the officers drove down the
,cad mile or so, but found no trace
of the car.

The one outstanding fact in connec-

is the attitude of the people. For
merly, the closing Of bank was the
cause of much excitement on the part
Of depositors, but few years ago, in
North Dakota, there was passed the
Guaranty Of Deposit Law, which fully
protects all those having money on
deposit in State bank. This law pro-
vides for the assessment Of all State
Banks in proportion to the amount of
their deposits, and thereby, fund is
created for the purpose of paying de-

The National banks do not come un-
der this act, but are fully protected
