ARE NOT UNHEALTHY

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 12.-P. +. Trow-
bridge, director of the experiment
station at the North Dakota Agricul-
turaf college, said recently that the
claim that North Dakota chickens
were infected by mysterious dis
ease was news to him. 81 have
heard of no strange malady infect
ing our chickens" said Dr. Trow-
bridge. "Of course we have known
that there is some . tuberculosis
among the ilocks in this state but
not as much as there is in other
places"
THAT North Dakota would not be
materially affected by the embargo
was the opinion expressed in Fargo.
The great bulk of chickens shipped
from this state go to the large pack
ing concerns and dealers in middle
west centcrs, kherc the chickens
are fattened, killed and dressed for
the market, it was pointed out. -

Rev. Quarrington Speaks
At First Baptist Church

Rev. Walter Quarrington spoke
last night at the First Baptist church
on the topic. IF Lincoln Lived To-
day." BY way of introduction Mr..
| Quarrington spoke at length on Lin
coins character and what 1t means
to the people of America at the pres
| cnt time. This was followed by so
stereopticon views illustrating Lin
coins life.
In his introduction, Mr.. Quarring-
ton named the things which are
| symbolic of Lincoln's life. The first
thing is the log cabin. which is SYM
! bolic of his humble origin. Next
we have the White House. which
shows to what heights he rose in
the confidence of the American peo-
pie. Then Mr.. Quarrington gave a
description of the Lincoln memorial
at Washington. which is a fitting
symbol of the accomplishments &C
the great statesman and emanci-
pator. The most imperishable mon
I ument Of Lincoln's life. however. is
not to be found in these things, but
in his character and work. IF you
would seek his monument. look
around" At the time of Lincoln S
death Stanton said: Here lies the
most perfect ruler the world has
ever seen"
In answer to the question, "If Lin
coin lived today what would he do?"
Mr.. Quarrington mentioned four
points. First. he would make the
most OF his life's opportunities. The
speaker described Lincoln's climb
from the log cabin to the White
House through lis study. thought,
toll and patience. No one can study
