Rev. Crouch spoke to the Assembly
last Thursday, his topic was "The Big
Idea"
Three new students enrolled after
the holidays, they were Flora and
Kathleen Nero and Genevieve Her
manson. .>.
Last Friday our basket ball team
went to Willow City and was defeated
by a score of 80 to 20. The game was
fast and furious, the smallness Of the
court seemed to place our boys at a
disadvantage. They report very en-
joyable time during their stay at Viii
low City.
On Thursday the team will journey
to Rolette and on Friday to Egeland.
They promise better results on this
trip. ..
Our first semester ends January Fl.
The full year subjects will be contin-
ued until June, the half year. subjects
will be finished at this time. Sociol-
ogy, Botany and Commercial Geogra-
ply will be offered the second semes-
ter.
The debating team consisting of
Olive TAFT, Helen Scott and Merle Nc
Balm are hard at work on their ques-
tion preparatory to their first appear
ance which will take place soon.
On Friday evening, January 18th,
the Sophomores will hold their an
nual party. Only the members of the
class will take part in the festivities.
On Saturday evening our High
School will play a game Of basketball
with the team from Gardena high
school. The game will take place at
eight o'clock. Come out and boost the
team. Gardena is represented by a
team that is making an enviable rec
ord this season.
At a meeting of the basketball
squad on Tuesday Harold Craig was
elected Captain Of the High School
quint for this year. Clarence Riley,
captain elect, was forced to stay out
Of the play this year on account of
injuries sustained in railroad acci-
dent a few months ago. The loss of
Riley is a great drawback for the
team as he is conceded to be one of
the best offensive players that the
high school. has had for years. The
new captain has occupied permanent
guard position on the team for two
years and is the proper one to guide
the destines of his team this season.

"A DAMN FOOL HOUSE"

"If you pass resolution of this
kind you are going to make such a
damn fool of the legislature that the
people. down there will not pay any
attention to our message" is the elo-
quent way, according to the Bismarck
Tribune, in which Speaker Twitchell,
who had left the chair and then the
floor, peorated his remarks on a. res
olution introduced by Representa-
tive Miller, Lacquer.
Mr.. Miller's resolution was to sum-
mon before the house the auditors of
Bishop, Brissman & Co. the "expert

BOMB BISMARCK
PROPAGANDA WRITER'S INVADE
BISMARCK FOR ONSLAUGHT
OF LEAGUE PROGRAM

Having no constructive program
whatsoever to offer and seemingly
thinking the financial panic they did
SO much to help bring on gives them a
splendid opportunity to finish up the
farmers Industrial Program and the
Bank Of North Dakota, the plutocratic
rule or ruin inner circle of the I. V. A.
is meeting in SECRET CAUCUS in
Bismarck and is filling the state capi-
tol with. the ablest mud singers mon
ey can buy. X @....'.
What the Plunderbund is counting
on heavily is their belief that the
League is "broke" and, so, will not be
able to keep on the ground enough
publicity men to counteract their cam
paign, which as usual, will be based
on false issues raised in the legisla-
ture and then sent broadcast over the
state and nation by an army of ink
singers. .....
While this hullabaloo is going on
in the open Big Biz will be silently
operating on the Industrial program
and the Bank of North Dakota, thus
proving the efficiency Of cooperation.
Information has leaked out from
the inner circle of the I. v. A. con-
troll that even if no laws can be passed
the session is to 60 the whole limit
for political purposes. It is planned
to flood the legislature with bills Of
one kind and another, requests for in
vestigation will be made with the fill
ing of trnmpt up charges and every
manner Of political trickery is to be
resorted to in attempts to discredit
the administration.
For several weeks past it has been
whispered around that numerous SEN
sations are to be sprung as soon as
the legislature is in session. The word
has been passed to the anti-farmer
newspapers outside of the state and
they are making preparations for
Covering" the session with greater
thoroness than ever before. The anti
farmer dailies in North Dakota are all
getting ready "to handle something
big" in connection with the session.
The Fargo Forum has been represent
ed by one staff man in former years
this year it will have three persons on
the job, the regular staff man, an
assistant and one stenographer. Ev-
erything now points to mud drive
by the !. v. A. papers never before
equalled to the states history.

WHAT. WOULD LINCOLN DO!

The American Civil Liberties union
in statement issued yesterday by
Albert De Silver, one Of the executive
directors, again took issue with the
Democratic administration and with
President Wilson for his refusal to
pardon Eugene v. Debs and others
convicted under war laws for offenses
involving crisicism Of the govern
ment's policy. The statement calls at
tention to the fact that the day before
Christmas the President issued par
dons in the cases Of three men con-
victed Of serious crimes, one even be-
ing guilty Of murder, and refused
clemency to Debs on the ground that
he was not repentant. 'eThe predicat-
ing 81 executive clemency on repent
ance," says De Silver, brings out
sharply the element Of political per-
secution involved in the Debs case and
IN similar cases. Debs is not repent
ant because he was convited for
speaking what he believed to be truth,
and because he has not changed his
mind about II. If he would change
mind OF recant his beliefs, il is pre-
sumable that this would Be construed
as repentance and would earn him q
pardon. This is, Of course the essence
Of political persecution. The same
philosophy underlay the heresy and
sedition man. hunts Of the seventeenth
century. Il Il regrettable that y should

The Anti tuberculosis Association
asked Bottineau County to sell $4,000

we would do better than that so they
sent us $4,000 worth. The Seals were
sold on a county basis this year and
Bottineau County a. little more than
doubled what she was asked for. Had
the request come a little earlier the
county could have been better organ
lied so that many more people might
have been reached. As it was the re-

THE OVERALL FARCE

Do you remember the time, little
while ago, when there was sudden
protest against the high cost Of cloth
ing, the rich men, wearing $1100
shoes and $1,000 silk shirts, put On
overalls over expensive clothing and
wore them few days in public? Do
you wish to know how that worked
out for the benefit of the common peo-
pie? It had just one result, so far al
we have been able to learn. The COM
mon man, who goes to work with
dinner pail in his hand, and is obliged
to wear overalls at his work, had to
pay 20 per cent more for his overalls
than before the rust Of these fly-by-
night reformers occurred.
This incident illustrates how much
many Of the people really think on the
larger questions. The wind blows war,
they are pro-war; it blows peace, they
are peace advocates. The press talks
right side up, they are right side up.
it speaks up side down and up side
down they go.-The Golden Age.

Bedtime Stories
Old Man Coyote Has m Empty Stomach
By Thornton W. Burgess
An empty stomach sharpens a0st,
AND courage grotcs because OF 1t.
Old Man Coyote.

Old Man Coyote doesn't like winter
No, sir, he doesn't ike winter. You
see it is only once in q while that
ne IS lucky enough to get his stom-
ach really filed. Most of the time
ne IS hungry, and no one likes being
hungry when there is nothing to eat.
80 now that winter had como with
snow and ice, Old Man Coyote could
think OF little but his stomach and
how he was 70 fill it. When he was
asleep he dreamed about it. When
he was awake he spent almost every
minute hunting for something TO eat
And Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
and Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Grouse
and other little people who are much
on the ground had 10 be more watch
ful than ever, for there was no know
ing when and where Old Man Coyote
might suddenly appear.
And all the time that Old Man
Coyote vas hunting he was thinking.
There is nothing like hunger to
sharpen wits. Old Man Coyotes wits
are never dull, but now they were
sharper than ever. He couldn't af-
ford to miss meal and he didn't in
tend to because of dull wita. SO the
hungrier he grew the sharper his wits
became.
AS long as the snow was not too deep
for him to travel easily he got along
fairly we'll. Though no, almost never
felt that he had eaten all he could
eat, he did get enough to keep
from starving. In fact, he got enough
to keep him in good condition. But
when the snow became so deep that
he had to wade through it his real
troubles began. In the first place. he
couldn't run. and you know Old Man
Coyote depends very much on the
swiftncss with which he can ret
about. in the second place, wading
through the snow soon tired him. In
the third place, he could trave! only
a short distance, and you know he
Is great traveller. That meant that
his chances Of finding enough to
cat were just that much smaller.
Lastly. he left tracks wherever he
went and that made him nervous.
So while the snow was soft Old
Man Coyote seldom went far from his
home in the Old Pasture. In fact.
he spent nrost Of his time IN his home
and came out only when his stomach
bad been empty so long that ne sim.
ply couldn't stand it any longer
Then he ate such berries as he could
