Towner, Oct. 24.-Congressman O.
3. Burtness of the first North Dakota
district spoke here this evening to a
large and enthusiastic crowd. Earli-
or in the day he had spoken at Leeds
and Rugby, where no also was given
a splendid reception.
Mr.. Burtness explained hat it had
not been his intention to come back
to North Dakota to take part in this
campaign as there were other impor-
tan things to attend to in Washing
ton, but when he saw how the League
bosses had imported an army of out
forgetting the real issues Of the re-
call election, he had decided that his
first duty was to his state.
II have travelled more than 1900
miles to speak to you and to other Of
my fellow citizens in this state re.
gardins the important issues in this
campaign" said Mr.. Burtness. ut Is
not particularly pleasant to make the
journey and not particularly pleasant
to talk several hours q day, making
the various towns by automobile,
train and other conveyances, and i
assure you I would not do so did 1
not have the best interests of North
Dakota at heart.

no taxpayer of North Dakota would
be doing his full duty by his state If
he did not render every service in this
campaign which he could. That is
why I am here.
Mr.. Burtness addressed his re-

beginning OF the movement desirins
certain fundamental changes in our
state government and desiring the op-
ton OF a definite program.

THE. LOW COST OF
ADVERTISING
SPACE.

Few advertising men know that
advertising space i'm newspapers is by
far the economical way to reach the
consumer It is fact and the onlv
reason that advertising was ever ere
atcd was because wise and shrewd
business men learned that they could
buy white space in publications at a
minimum cost and because of the
message they would put into that
space they could make profit on
the transaction and make the advcr-
tising a real Investment in production
of sales and goodwill.
In these days Of high cost Of white
paper and printing the advertiser
could not print a full-page advertise
ment and buy the white paper at the
small cost that the newspaper charges
him for the complete page delivered
into the home by invitation. That is
to say, the readers of this newspaper
buy paper because they want to
read 1t and because they know they
get more for their money at 2 or 8
cents than anything else they could
buy at that price. That is what
makes the advertising so valuable to
the advertiser, provided they have the
right message, the right illustration
and the right merchandising plan
back of the advertising.
Newspaper advertising is by far the
most economical method to reach the
consumer.

at the signal wire that led to the
engine room, with the intention Of
giving McGuffey four bells-the signal

McGuffey promptly kicked her wide

having done so, Mr.. McGuffey should
forthwith climb the ladder and thrust

that he failed to hear the engine room

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to- test this great preparation send
ten cents to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
tom N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

(To BE coNTINUED)
LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY FEW
Migrants in East End of London Use
an Ancient Celtic Tongue Among
Themselves.

Shelta Thar Is language used Sc
cretly among people of the tinker class
and principally to be met with in Scot
land and Ireland. It's use was first dis
covered and made known in 1876 by
! Charles K. Leland, an American anti
quarian, and Prof. John Sampson OF
Liverpool. One day, while walking
by the seashore at Aberystwyth, they
encountered tramp who addressed
them in an unknown tongue. Both
| were versed in the Romany or gypsy
language and were much surprised to
meet one who spoke tongue of which
| they knew not a word.
They collected a number of phrases
from this man and found on inquiry
that he had acquired this strange
speech from his wife, who was a
tinker. The thinkers, he said, kept
their knowledge of the language Sc
cret, speaking it only among them
selves. Later Leland encountered
many other persons who spoke Shelta.
He found that in many of the drinking
| places in the East end of London,
where Migrants often congregate, the
language was freely employed. but
that when an outsider made his ap-
pearance, it ceased at once to be spok-
en-. Scientific methods applied to the
study of Shelta proved that it is no
mere system of back slang or can't, but
an ancient Celtic speech.
Romany, the language Of the Eng
lish gypsies, is still spoken by large
J number Of persons. Among the ma
| jority Of them 1t has become corrupt,
but the older gypsy folk still speak
what is known as deep" Romany,
that is, the gypsy language in its pure
| state.
The dialect Of Shetland, although
| its grammar is Lowland Scotch, Is
very largely Morse and as spoken by
| the Shetlanders among themselves Is
scarcely understandable by the aver
| age Scotsman. On the Isle of Man, a
Celtic tongue different from Gaelic or
WEIGH is still used by number Of the
| inhabitants.

"Spendthrift Wills" in which the
