twelve men array themselves in white

one fastens an enormous cowbell on

decorated by stenciled designs.
One of the twelve is called "Sami-

coneeceats and Concentrate, 10 the
AdvIee otven ~ Writer IN
FORBES Magazine.

You want to make Roadway In the
world, OF course. See II this thought
can help you: First, c~onsecrate your
self to your calling: then concentrate.
The lives OF most men Of notable
achievement have been characterized
BY conservation and concentration. Be
fore one can c~0nsecrate oneself, one
must be possessed by some bigger and
broader and better idea than mere
money making. There must be some
thing In the work that appeals to one.
The work must appear to be worth
while, worth effort and industry and
sacrifice. You could not, for exam
pie, conceive Of anyone consecratins
himself to '~'bootlegging." There isn't
one honest calling, however, to which
ii worker could not c%Onsecrate him
self or herself IL animated by the right
spirit. Having consecrated oneself to
4 line Of endeavor, then concentration
must follow II proficiency and success
are to be attained.
The worker, be he employee o. en-
ployer, who hasn't cOnsecrated him
self to his calling fails to derive from
1t that deep satisfaction known to
those who have c~Onsecrated themselves
to their jobs. Concentration follows
conservation naturally and with JOY
rather than hard effort.-Forbes Mag
azine.

AT the election next fall n Of the
questions to be submitted to a vote
CT the people Of the state will be the
question Of establishing q state bank.
The intelligent voter will take some
time looking into this question before
next November, and be prepared to
cast his vote from a study Of the
question. During last years depres-
zion the state of North Dakota had
d state hank and the story of the f.
nancial condition Of the state in COM
parison with its sister states will be
worth looking in to. What the poll
ticians did to the bank of North Da-
kota is pretty sure to be duplicated
when they get to handling the bank Of
South Dakota. If the pure uridefled
non-partisan politicians Of North
Dakota could create the havoc they
did in that state with a state bank
TO use as spoils, what may you expect
when the more corrupt and unworthy
politicians Of republican and demo.
cratic persuasion shall get thei,
hands in such q splendid dish of spoils
as d state bank is sure to be. Look
into the state bank question before
next November.

IN regard to the extension Of the

Ell Co., some persons have got the I'M
preston that the extension will If
granted, carry the franchise for 70
years beyond the present franchise.
This is an absolutely wrong concep-
ton Of the matter. The adoption OF
the new franchise automatically does
