treat her as you would like to have an
other young man treat your very own
sister. Do not seek the society or
friendship of girl for whom you have
not the greatest respect, and then show
her the consideration and respect due
her. A girl who does not appreciate
such treatment is not worthy of YOUR
attention. Show her every little atten-
tion and courtesy which Increases her
pleasure. comfort or entertainment
When 1t is all summed up It means. be

a girl has every right to expect only
the most courteous and gentlemanly
attention.

STATE CONTEST
ON CORN WILL
BE HELD HERE
Directors of Association of
Commerce Authorizes
Unique Idea For State
TO A w ARD PRIZES
Contest to be Centered Here
in January, With all COun.
ties Participating

Launching of program for a
statewide corn contest has been au-
thorized by the board of directors
of the Association of Commerce
The contest will be held in Janu-
ary, and it will be planned on a
scale to center the eyes of the en-
tire Mississippi Valley on North Da-
kota as a corn-raising state. 1t may
also be the preliminary to develop.
ment of the annual corn show or corn
palace idea.
Corn contests would be held in
the various counties of the state, in
all probability, under. the plan. The
winners of the various counties
would send exhibits to Bismarck
where the corn would be judged by
experts of national repute and prizes
awarded. There would be in it not
only honor for the individuals but
the honor for the winning county in
the contest.
The general idea has been endors-
ed by Commissioner of immigration
J. M. Devine and it is expected that
the office Of Commissioner of Agri.
culture and Labor J. A. Kitchen and
that of Mr.. Devine will take a big
part in the conduct of the contest.
1t is believed that through this
method, not only can North Dakotans
find out just how good corn can be
raised in the state, but the whole
country can be informed that North
Dakota is in the corn belt and tha,
it produces not only quantity but
quality.

cral fund to pay jurymen. They

HAGAN HOUSE
HERE'S SOLD
Industrial Commission OBJ.
tains $500 for Property

The house built for John N. Hagan,
former Commissioner of Agriculture
and Labor and member Of the In
dustrial Commission in the Frazier
administration, has been sold by the
Industrial Commission to John Park
inson, proprietor of the Annex hotel
of this city, for $1,000, the sale to
include a lot adjoining the Hagan
house on North Fifth street and a
vacant lot almost opposite the house.
Mr.. Parkinson's bid was the best
made, it was said.
When the Home Building AssOcia-
tion said the cost of the house was
$S,Ss9.98, Mr.. Hagan declined to
take it. Under the law providing
for the winding up<of the Home
Building Association bids were ask
ed for it. The highest of three bids
was $4,000. The Industrial Commits
sion declined to accept the bid and
sought new bids, which resulted in
the present sale. 1t was stated by
members of the commission that
since the house had been occupied by
a renter for two years it would re-
quire about $1,000 to place it in first
Glass condition.

stand that he shot and killed Doll
iver only as an act Of defence
which was prompted when Dolliver
threatened to kill him with hand
AK which he said Dolliver held in

fled that. owing to a large number
of family alterations between DOLL

has satisfied himself that North Da-

willing to work and that success will
surely come by diversiication in far
