SPRINGTIME
(By Mrs. Winnie Exli1

Winter with its snow and ice
His been very, very nice,
Sleigh rides often from our door,
We would enjoy many more.
Christmas past with all its fun
Spring days now have just begun.
Sun shines on the earth so bright,
Illuming everything with light.
Flowers and grass begin to peep,
From long cold winter sleep.
Trees begin to bud and bloom,
Spring Birds MARBLE a pretty tune,
Seeking where to build their nest
For their little ones to rest.
Chilren soon from school set free
Fill homes with mirth and glee.
Happy season of the year;
Joyous springtime now is here.
Who sends the sunshine and the rain
Reviving over hill and plain,
The withered grass, the leafless. trees
The sweet flowers blooming for th'
bees?
IT'S God, our Father reigns above.
He sends all these with perfect love.

NORTH DAKOTA
 SOCIALISM FAILURE

North Dakota has been in the limelight as the home of social istic enterprises under the rule of the Non-Partisan League. Ev- erything was fine when prices were advancing and the political managers of the state required little business ability. When the tide turned the story changed. The political managers were found to be poor business man. agers and class government fail ed. Some 35 banks closed in the past few months and the state bank in which all public funds were required to be kept has had a close shave. To try and relieve the situation the state bank is now soliciting private funds for deposit which it has not hereto fore carried, and offers to pay from 2 per cent on daily balances above $200 to 3 per cent above $500 and 51A per cent on savings accounts for more than a year.
 Aside from the state bank there has been chaos in the Leagues industrial program and in trying to fix the responsibili- ties for the financial tangle in which the state finds itself un- der the ,Non-Partisan Leagues political control there is now talk of recalling the whole indus trial commission, and if neces- sary every state official. Other states which have been, and still are threatened with League ac- tivity are watching North Dakota's dilemma:

GOOD SCOUTS!

We believe that everyone's mission in life should be, in ad- dition to his usual labors, to ra- diate as much sunshine as possi- ble; to make other people feel that you have some interest in their well-being, and sympathy for their vexations, trials and mistakes. To this end, com mencing with this issue, we have instituted our Good Scouts. " Each week we will select some one or number of persons, whom we deem worthy of extraordin- ary mention in these columns. Some outstanding thing must occur to properly bring the per son to our notice.
 This week we have selected H. w. Hughes, a patient sufferer from intestinal trouble, who is at present recovering from an op- eration at the Mayo hospital in Rochester, Minnesota.
 We know of a bunch of good scouts in Holbrook, and needless to say each will be mentioned.

ARIZONA PLAYS IMPORTANT
 ROLE IN THE UNITED STATES

An article on Arizona prepared for the supplement of the eleventh edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica by Professor H. A. Hubbard, head of the department of history of the Univers- ity of Arizona, shows the important role that the youngest state of the Un- ion has played in conection with the political and economic issues of the last ten years. The question of her admission introduced a controversy into the legislative halls at Washing ton that eliminated in the famous message of President Taft on the re- call of judges. The Allen labor law called forth decision of the United States supreme court. The numerous industrial disputes were matters of national interest and concern; and the deportation incident was the occasion of investigation and report by com
 mission appointed by President Will son. This indicates that new state can not be provincial, for within its boundaries appear issues of more than local importance. Here are gathered men from other states and from other nations; and thus many lines of thought are brought to focus in the new commonwealth,

UNITED EASTERN WINS RIGHTS
 TO RUN BIG JIM ORE VEIN

The Big Jim vein of copper, having g, ,000, 900 worth of ore in sight and potentially worth many millions, is the property of the United Eastern company, Judge Bollinger, of the Mo have county superior court ruled in handing down a decision in the Tom Reed United Eastern suit. He held that the plaintiff had no extra-lateral rights, being confined to its side line vertically downward, and that the DOT ton of the side line would be divided as cut by the vertical lines of the side line. The Tom Reed mine had follow ed it's vein downward 600 feet when it found that the vein had faulted. On reconstruction it was found that the Big Jim vein of the United Eastern was the continuation of the Tom Reed vein. The Tom Reed then brought ac- ton to gain control of the Big Jim vein, alleging that they could follow the vein no matter where it faulted and shifted to. An appeal will be talk en to the supreme court.

UNFAIR

Those of you who are con- stantly criticizing our local mer- chants because of their stocks, prices, etc., would do we'll to take
 a little time off and thoroughly inspect what our merchants have to offer in the way of variety and dependable merchandise ; then compare stocks and prices with other towns many times larger than our city, not taking into account our long distance from big markets, and you will get a rude shock. Many times we have heard tourists say My, what a nice stock for such a small town" Or: "I wouldn't have believed that you could have gotten that here" Our merchants, restaurant men-in fact all lines of commercial en- deavor, are doing splendidly, try ing to give the public what it wants, and still absorb their losses from price decline.

LUMBER TAKES LEAD

In summarizing the business outlook, the Irving National bank of New York says:
 A distinctly encouraging fea- ture is the gain of 32 per cent in expenditures for building con- struction in February over Jan uary, the more noteworthy be- cause the prices of building ma terials have not yet fallen much below their maximum.
 Lumber is the chief exception to this rule as in many instances it has dropped 50 per cent and is the cheapest building material today.
 If other building material and building trades labor would fol- low lumber's example, the long delayed building activity would be on full blast and thousands of men out of work at present would have steady employment.

MUST HAVE WARRANTS BEFORE FRYING INTO OTHERS BAGGAGE

Of interest to local owners of suit
 eases and cellars is the decision re-
 gently handed down by the United
 States district court in San Francisco, to the effect that suitcases may not be searched for alcoholic contents without warrant The decision was oceasioned by the arrest of George E. Barnard, in whose suitcase the police claimed to have found brandy. In dismissing the case the court ruled that suitcases should not be searched without warrant. Barnard accord ingly departed with his suitcase and also all the alcoholic evidence in the case. 1t is believed the decision will stimulate the sale of suitcases, and, as it is supposed to apply to cellars as well, will cause home owners to put the under portion" of the house to more constant use.

Roll the Table Cloth.

In some of the domestic science schools the pupils are now taught to roll table cloths instead of folding them, since the folds in the linen are always the first places to show wear. The cloths are irOned flat and rolled while being ironed. Start to roll them as soon as half yard is ironed and keep the roll directly in front, turning it as fast as the ironing is done. Thick brown paper may be used if you have no regular roll. One clever woman who procured several mailing tubes placed them end to end and covered them with fancy wall paper, pasting 1t on securely. This makes a firm foundation for the roll.
