Faith awoke the next morning with
the blessed feeling of Goods in his
heaven; all's right with the world
And Bob was especially lover like
He rose early, prepared rose
scented bath for her, and carried
her to it, swung high in his arms.
And while she bathed he went into
the little scrap of back yard and
picked bunch Of flamboyant mas
turtiums which she later found in q
tumbler of water before her break
fast plate.
And he marched her to the door
with him, his arm close about her
shoulders, when he was ready to
leave for the office. A curt, employ
er-like command sent Cherry, rather
sulkily, to the car parked in the
) driveway.
Here's a check for a hundred,
sweet" Bob told Faith in low voice,
as he tucked folded bit Of paper
into her hand. ."Buy yourself that
dress was telling you about for the
Pruitt party. And you'd better get
yourself dress-up hat to 60 with it.
If that's not enough, don't skimp.
I'll give you more at lunch today"
"1'm lunching with you?" Faiths
voice trembled with happiness.
"Of course you are! You just try
to stand me up!" Bob gibed, STOPPING
to kiss her-a hard. long kiss, not
the quick, husbandly peck that his
goodbye sometimes was.

Lundy applauded.
Faith, smiling and flushing in her
happiness, agreed that he was.
She had not realized, until she was
actually in the shopping district, how
closely she had stayed at home, how
"out of things" she had let herself
be since her marriage. 1t was q
sheer delight to sit like a young
queen-or like beloved wife with
a generous husband--while attentive
salesgirls brought lovely, misty
dresses for her approval. And it was
Bob's choice that she bought after
ala dream OF chiffon frock--a
vivid blending of orange and Grim
son that brought out the warmest
tints in her creamy skin and the cop
perry glints in her brown hair. In the
nasturtium dress she looked very tall
and very slender, like a proud prin-
cess.

SOrlie Not a Candidate
VALLEY City Times.Record)

Following on the heels Of the declaration of Pres
ident Coolidge that che chooses not to be candidate
in 1928" comes the declaration from Governor A. G.
Sorlie that he will not be candidate again for gov
ernor and shat he is not seeking any political Of
fice.' The governor says that when he has served
his four years as governor he has given enough of
his time to public business.
This sets loose another bunch of office seekers
who will not doubt be putting UP their lightning
rods for the governors job Rumor has it that our
fellow townsman, l. ]. Moe, is to again be candi-
date for the governors seat Other candidates men,
toned are Walter Maddox, present lieutenant gov
ernor, George F. Shafer, c. A. Fisher and dozen
or 50 prominent men Of the state who will no doubt
be glad to have the executive mantle settle down
upon their shoulders for term or two. There will
be no dearth Of candidates you may rest assured Of
that.
Then along with that scrap the senatorial fight
Is commencing to come into sight. Lynn J. Frazier,
present senator, is up for reelecton next year. and
his press agent is getting pretty busy these days
telling the world what good senator he has made,

Canada is celebrating her sixtieth anniversary
this year. 1t was in 1867 that this nation which
now extends from sea to sea, confederated. At
that time, it consisted of only few provinces cling
ing to the Atlantic seaboard and the lower Great
Lakes, sparsely settled and more or less isolated
from the rest Of the world.
Now, Canada is great nation, rich in resources
which seem almost nexhaustible and which are be-
ing developed to make progress still greater Bands
Of steel, transcontinental railroad lines link to-
gether the nine great provinces. At Ottawa the
affairs of the country are handled by republican
assemblage much resembling ours. No longer is
Canada daughter" of Great Britain in anything
more than name She is sentmentally attached,
but politically she is separate country, going her
own way. And United States minister sits at
Ottawa, Canadian minister at Washington bring
ing closer together the two great nations of the
North American continent
We worry on the Pacific coast for fear of an at
tack from Oriental countries. We worry along the
Mexican border for fear uprisngs may occur. We
worry on the gulf and the Atlantic coast afraid
invaders may come upon But one the northern
boundary, we do not worry. All the jngoism in the
world will never convince US that we have anything
to fear from Canada.
The ties OF blood are great, but here is a case
where the ties of neighborliness are greater We
rejoice with Canada at her progress and achieve
ments and we well predict that the future will
see us still more closely affiliated.

One of the saddest spectacles in
the afflictiens Of mankind Is early
blindness caused by improper care
Of the eyes in newborn infants.
The National Committee for the
Prevention Of Blindness has been
giving attention to this subject for
many years, and reports that the
amount Of blindness for 1926 due to
the infection of the eyes in child
birth was 1873 per cent, a gradual
reduction from q per cent in 1908 to
1912.
The venereal diseases. continue to
be responsible, however, for most Of
the blindness from which human be-
ings suffer, since. other venereal con-
ditions are responsible for loss of
sight besides that which causes the
common type Of blindness Of in

One Of the most important steps in
preventing defective vision has been

A Novel Business

society woman, daughter of banker, is the
head OF unique business in New York City and
1T is business that should have great possibilities
in any city, It is bureau of personal service that
Miss Jessie Jerome Fanshawe heads, and, although
she has been in business only since last January she
has built up large CLIENTELE and employs a large
force Of assistants
Miss Fanshawe's service is novel in that it does
things for people that they ordinarily find too trou-
blesome to do themselves For instance, she will
close town house or apartment after a family has
gone 20 Europe or Newport and then set the house
in order prior to their return She provides chaper-
ones. fills rush orders for hostesses secures enter
tainment, does shopping for clients buys theatre
tickets for them, orders flowers, makes up pro-
grams does temporary secretarial work and in all
other ways stands between her clients and the
thousands Of details which they find bore but
which have to be done.
Ihat the idea is not impractical is testified by
her success in this field and leads to the assumption
that the scheme would work out in any city of fair

qualities commonly associated
with greatness. His close person
al aides are v~ociferous in their
praise of him. A few refer to
him with something akin to awe
and hero-worship, and woe to the
individual who speaks %disparag-
ingly of their chief.
Hoover says one, always
was a g~o-getter, Even when he
was attending Stanford University

SMALLPOX: An Eternal Conflict
(Hygeia for December)

In 1854 a French physician said
to smallpox, and that ~one-fourth
of mankind was either killed by
it or crippled or disfigured for
life. In 1896, Edward Jenner, an
English physician, demonstrated
that smallpox could be prevented
by vaccination.
Since the time of Jenner, as
pointed out in a bulletin just is
sued by the American Association
of Medical Progress, Jul know
ledge has advanced greatly. 1t is
now possible to perform vaccin-
alton without the slightest danger
to the person v~accinated other
than that associated with any
minor scratch of the skin per-
formed under conditions of strict
bacterial cleanliness. The vaccine
used is prepared in accordance
with regulations set forth by the
government. AS a result of all
the safeguards that have been
thrown around vaccination, the
danger has been reduced to infin-
itesimal proportions. Only occas-
ionally is there a serious compli-
cation among millions of persons
who are vaccinated.
AS a result Of the application
of vaccination on a tremendous
scale throughout the world the
person with the scars of smallpox
today is a rare individual in the
community. He is a sort of a
walking monument to his own ig-
norance or that of his parents.
The child who has not been vac
cinated is exposed to danger and
is a n to other persons
should he become infected with
the disease.
The evidence that vaccination
protects against smallpox is sound
enough to convince anyone except
those whose minds have been so
prejudiced by the mewlings of the
propagandists that they are not
open to conviction. In 1924 there
were 1910 cases of smallpox in
Detroit with 163 deaths. Among
of these cases there was not
one with a successful vaccination
of less than five years duration.
Of the 1853 persons who died of the
lisease 142 had never been vac

THE WOLF POINT BRIDGE
(PopIar Standard)

We suppose that to u true to
form and carry out the traditional
rivalry, friendly and otherwise, ex-
listing between Poplar and our
neighboring city of Wolf Point,
we should use our influence to OPP
pose the building of the proposed
bridge across the Missouri river
at Wolf Point or some point be-
tween Wolf Point and Poplar. We
do not, however, take that view of
it. We are heartily in favor of
the building of such a bridge,
whether at Wolf Point, Poplar,
Brockton, or Culbertson, or some
place in between.
We believe that an improve
ment of that magnitude, no matter
where placed, would be a material
benefit to every town in the coun-
ty along the Roosevelt Highway
as well as to the surrounding
country.
Any improvement or incentive
that can be made to draw outside
traffic through one part of the
county cannot help but benefit the
county as a whole.
We as a community should sup
port the building of this bridge be-
cause we 1--WE it to the farmers
south of the river; they have
done a large share of their trading
here-have marketed their grain
and spent their money with us.
We are in favor of the bridge.
We are in favor of building it at
as near Poplar as physical and
engineering facts and political in
fuences will permit, but first and
last we are in favor of the bridge.

WHICH APPEALS TO YOU?


New Rockford, N. D., transcript
Every time you speak a good
word for your own town you
speak two for yourself, for the
home booster is always respected
by home lovers.
It's an easy thing to make a
nasty remark about your home
town, but it is difficult to stop
that remark from travelling after
it has once been uttered.
The monkey in the jungle
swings from limb to limb and
from tree to tree at remarkable
speed, but the monkey is a snail
compared to the caustic remarks
and comments of a chronic pessi-
mist.
The monkey does not berate
either the limbs or the tree, for
they are his home-they mean
safety and comfort to him.
The pessimist, however, is not
so considerate.
His happiest moments are when
he is slamming his home town.
Nothing is right.
None of it's citizens
possess the ability to perform
civic duties in the proper manner.
Other persons are unable to
e the glaring defects that are
so plain to him.
He lives in darkness and radi-
ates gloom.
He is simply a pessimist, and
the work of the pessimist is too
often destructive.
But why be a pessimist? Why
not an optimist instead?
Pessimism is worse than rheu1
matism. The one puts a few j%ointsl
out of proper working order, butt
the other is a drag to the mind
the body and the soul.
Station yourself on a street cor1
ner in a large city and watch thel
people go by for an hour. NinetyI
nine out of a hundred will be hapJ
Ply, and cheerful, and contented.
They are optimists unawares.
The rays of the monday sun are'
not brighter or warmer than the|
smiles upon their lips of the hui
mainly in their hearts.
The hundredth man may be diff
He may be the odd sheep
in the flock, the cloud that dimsl
the brightness of the community
light. He is a pessimist, and hel
knows it. His soul is shrouded mi
gloom from which he never seeksj
to escape. He is a bore even tol
himself.
The pessimist is never happy
The optimist is seldom sad.
1t is possible to be either, butt
never both.
Which appeals to you?
