of potatoes last season which yielded
from 100 to 12O bushels per acre, but
he managed to get only about half Of

80 far goes to show that but few Of
the girls are getting enough money TO
"get by" In good shape, even when
living at home. Two telephone operat-
ors testified that the least they could
possibly hope to receive in order to
i've decently is from SIS to $18 d week
and most of them claim they should
receive from $1S to 20 a. week, where
they have to pay for their room and
board. One girl employed in five
and ten cent store in Fargo received
5000 week. She pays $25 month
for her room alone. One of the girls,
a Miss Miller, employed in five and
ten cent store, receives the top-notch
wages, SIS week. She spends 81 a
year for amusements and gives $40 a
year TO her church. Last year she
wore six pairs of shoes, costing from
$40 to SIS pair. The goods for her
coat cost $25 and she made the coat
herself, which would have cost her
$50 in the Fargo stores. She made
her own skirts, the goods costing $40
for each skirt, saving 81 by making
them herself. Further investigation
shows that the mattresses in the Fargo
hotels and cafes receive from $12 to
SIS week and their.meals, with often
free room rent. They are able TO dress
as we'll as the department store girls
and usually save from $500 TO $3.50 a
year. One waitress testified that she
spends on an average So month for.
amuse1nents.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
By E, J. Isleifson.

One hundred and eleven years ago
today there was born in the world q
babe Of the most humble origin, and in
the crude American home, amid pow
erty and pioneer hardships, this babe
grew into sturdy boyhood with very
little promise of future. But as this
boy grew into manhood and drifted
further into the life Of his nation, ne
finally developed into mental and
moral giant, who towers above all men
Of all ages. :
The world has had great generals,
great orators, great politicians, great
writer's and great thinkers, but TO my
mind there never lived a man like
Abraham Lincoln, whose influence in
creases more rapidly than that of any
other man in history.
venture to say chat the life of
Lincoln exemphfed and taught in
schools, is the greatest factor in de-
,veloping real manhood, not only in
America, but throughout the whole
civilized world.
Among the great qualities Iof Lin.
coin with which the world is familiar,
one shines above them all, and that is
the heart of Lincoln, SO large and 20
loving that millions of people gather
about the roots of it today, responding
to it's tl,robs.
The anarchist who struck the fatal
blow in sixty five, that sent the body
Of Abraham Lincoln to its eternal rest,
failed TO kill his great, wonderful
heart. It will Live forever.

This is Boy Scouts week in America
and the members of this noble organ
ization are very much in evidence in
Minot. If some manly looking young
fellow steps up to you and asks TO do
you favor, let him do it, for accord
ing to the tenets Of this great organ
ization, the lads are taught to endea-
vor to do some good turn to someone
each day of their lives. If you offer to
pay them for their services, the
chances are that the boys will refuse
to accept any remuneration, but you
will have plenty of opportunities dur
in the year to show your appreciation
in substantial manner. These boys
will be the future citizens of our
country and to them we must look rs
the saviors of our country, which is
now being preyed upon like q pack Of
hungry wolves by the Reds. Long 1--we
