(By Judge Wilnott)

lust came to Potosi from Germany,
met a horrible death. He was en-
gagged in mining with an old country
companion, named Frank Elskamp
who but a short time previously had
come to Potosi from Germany. Neither
one had any knowledge of mining, nor
of the English language. John and
James Hull Isaac Wilmott and Martin
Parinteau were mining but short
distance from where the young Germ
ans were. One day they heard much
hollering and wailing at the German
boys diggings and they rushed there
and from the gestures OF ElSkamp,
pointing down the shaft, were con-
WINGED that an accident had happened.
James Hull and WilmOtt were first
lowered down the shaft, and to their
horror found the young man standing
alive but Wedged between a liner and
the opposite wall, the liner, about six
teen inches thick and ten feet long,
had broken away from the west wall
OF the shaft and caught the young
man unawares The rescuing party
saw at a glance that there was moth
ing to be done but to pick and CAD
the rock away from him, to blast it
away was of course out of the ques-
ton The four men worked with
might and main to resue the unfor-
tunate man from his perilOus position
but to no avail, he died before the
rock could be removed sufficiently to
extricate him alive. Experienced
miners would have seen this danger
Gus liner and with a cross brace or
two prevented it from sliding. The
third fatal casualty happened in Feb
ruary 1859 when John Beier met his
death in shaft on the Mattox Range
little southwest of Dutch Hollow.
He and John Gerhardt, a son-in-law,
were down in the shaft doing some
timbering Beier stood on cross
timber, receiving timbers as they
were being lowered from the surface,
and met with death by timber fall
ling from above, hitting him on the
head, and he fell into twenty feet of
water. Mr.. Beier was the father OF a
large family. The only son in the
family, Ben Beier, is the only de-
scendant now living in Potosi.

Shall Bible Be Read
In Public Schools?

Is question that should interest
| every Christian man and woman in
| our beautiful state. Our pilgrim
fathers declared their purpose was to
| found a Christian Commonwealth and
with this thought in mind, schools
were established and the Bible holds
Appointment place in them. Americas
greatest peril today, is the spiritual
neglect, of her children. Danger sig
nails are being hoisted all over the
land Let us heed the warning before
it is too late. The February number
of Home Missions gives these start
ling figures - twenty-seven million
children in the United States receive
no religious training at all--while
radical Sunday Schools are being or
ganiZed all over where the Diety of
God is denied. This great army of
children are growing up without the
knowledge Of God and the Ten Com
mandments, which contains the Best
Code of Morals, without the know
ledge of the Golden Rule or the Faith
erhood of God and the Brotherhood of
man. Francis E. Willard, the un-
crowned queen of America had a vi
sion that to lead us on to victory we
must create a department that will di-
rectly touch our public schools, so that
every boy and girl in this land may
have an opportunity to know that
there is Thus Saith the Lord, in
regard to personal and national duty.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union of Wisconsin deplore the alarm
ing increase OF juvenile crime, due
largely to ignorance, that is sweep
ing over the nation, that there is
manifest need of more moral educa-
ton as more than half of the children
do not attend any Sunday School A
large percent do not receive it in
the home. the public school their only
chance. The Governors of thirty
states have appealed to the Bible
House New York City, that the year
1921 might be made a Bible Year. In
correspondence with DR.. Wilbur
Craft of Washington, D. c., 206, Penn
Ave, who is Supt., of the Interna-
tional Reform Bureau secured his
splendid book, Bible in Schools Plans
of Many Land" 1872 pages, price so
cents, get it and read it. Look on
rage IT. what it says about the Bible
in the schools of Wisconsin. In let
ter he says there is nothing in the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of Wis
consin to prevent the Bible being read
and he goes on to say it is only the
timidity of the teachers and the negli-
gence of the preachers that has pre-
vented the reading, for the decision
stated specifically that the Bible
might be read in nonsectarian way.
without wrong to anyone. We find
this decision has not been repealed
A movement is being started by the
w. C. T. u. throughout the State to
interest the educators and school
boards and ask the pastors to bring it
before their audiences, that unless our
youth is instructed in the fundamental
principles of Christianity our nation
is in peril. For the boys and girls of
today will be men and women of to-
morrow. Let us give them our love
and protection. help them to be honest
and true, save them from the snares
and pitfalls. Prevention is better
than cure. The gospel makes it cas-
Ter to do right. The law makes it
harder to do wrong.

tion at Devils Lake on March 31st,
have now been filed with the Secre-
tary Of State.
The campaign for signatures on the

every precinct, including the slowest
one in the state, gets it's job done
that is until it has signed up at least
80 per cent of the O'Connor vote.
Every citizen has not only the right
to sign the recall petitions but it is
the duty of every citizen who believes
shat the squandering Of public money
should be stopped as soon as possible:
An incomplete check-up of the recall
petitions Indicates that there are be-

them now and that they have been

hounds were secured from the peni-
Tertiary at Bismarck and they hunted
thru the brush without success. Hun
dreds from the countryside aided in
the search but at last reports the lit

Trees are necessary In making q real
home out on the prairie and they add
great deal to the value Of the farm,
says A. F. Yeager. horticulturist ut the
North Dakota Agricultural college.
There are great many trees that are
growing native In the state, such as
American elm, bass wood, black will
low, box elder, green ash, white poplar,
cotton wood, cedar, aud western yellow
pine, which is evidence that these trees
all are adapted to conditions In North
Dakota. A good many others have also
been found to be hardy when given
proper conditions.
Trees do well In all parts Of the
state when given proper care, Mr.. Yea
ger finds. Due to the small rainfall in
some parts, this proper care must con-
sist q great deal in giving the trees
cultivation until they get good start,
as weeds that are allowed to grow will
get the moisture before 1t gets down to
the tree roots. It has been found also
that the land should be broken up q
couple Of years before the trees are
planted as this tends to put it In
better condition for the growth Of the
trees.
In planting the trees, the first thing
to be provided for Is the wind break;
this can be made of willows most sue.
cessGcu,ly. The common white or gay
willow has been found very satislac-
tory for this windbreak, which can
consist of one or two rows Of these
trees on the outside, follow0 by To-
fcct strip Of timber composed Of white
elm and green ash. The willows can
be started from cuttings, while the
elms and ash are grown from seed
lings.
