GEO. F, SHAFER
DOES NOT WANT
STATE OFFICE
Will Run For u. s. Senator If
Endorsed at jamestown
Convention

Tacit announcement that he is a
candidate for endorsement by the
Independent Republican state con-
vcntion for the Republican nomina-
ton for United States senator was
made here today by Attorney Cen
eral George +. Shafer.
Shafcr's is the first hat to be
tossed into the political arena as a
possible opponent Of Lynn J. Frazier,
Nonpartisan Republican incumbent.
Frazier was re-endorsed for the post
which he now holds at the Nonparti-
san convention here week ago.
A potential rival for the 1ndepen-
dent Republican endorsement looms
in the person Of r. A. Nestos, Minot,
q former governor.
Nestos was elected governor in
the recall election Of 1921, which
swept Frazier and two other Non
partisans from office. He was beat
en- for a third term by A. &. Sorlie
in 1924.
Shafcr's Statement
The text of Shafer's announcement
follows:
II have received many inquiries
lately asking whether l intend to
become candidate for attorney
general, governor or senator this
year, and / think the time has come
when. I should make my intentions
in that regard known.
Il am serving my seventh year in
the attorney generals office, a SER
vice that has been both congenial
and. / hope, useful to the state.
have no desire, however, to hold this
office longer nor to hold any other
state office. Some of my friends
over the state are considering the
advisability of offering my name
as q candidate for senator at the
Independent Republican convention
at jamestown on March s.
IF this is done, and / am endorsed
/ shall enter the primaries for that
office. If, however, the convention
selects more satisfactory candidate
l shall deem it a privilege as well as
duty to support the ticket as nomi-
mated with the same degree of 10y.
atty and energy as I have shown in
the past several campaigns.
"The Nonpartisan League has en-.
dorsed its ticket with Frazier, one
of the founders of the league anG
chief advocate of it's radical prin-
ciples, at it's head. It has reaffirmec
its support Of the principles of state
| industrialism and demands new
state -owned elevators, state owned
branch banks. and a general cxpan'
sion Of state ownership into the fielc
Of private business. Thus, the issue
for the coming campaign is agar
made clear, and the. Independents
are challenged to meet it. If we d.
50 with judgment and courage,
confidently believe that we can ans
will win q decisive victory at tn,
polls in june"

Hard to Get Correct
Figures on Longevity

Many and widespread are the dis
PARTIES in the longevity of animals,
birds and fishes. Scientists are I'M
able to say why some species live
many times as long as others. They
have no explanation, for instance, of
the fact that tiger, lion or a hip
popotamus will die of old age long be-
fore an elephant has reached his
prime. M
An elephant might live to be two
hundred years old A tiger is old at
twenty years, lion at twenty-five
years, a hippopotamus at forty years
and a bear at fifty years. A swan can
survive for one hundred years and an
elder duck or parrot for more than
two hundred years. A tortoise might
live to be three hundred years old
Insects usually have short lives, but
some ants have lived in captivity for
fifteen years. Queen bees live from
four to five years, but the bee work
ers succumb in six weeks. Carp and
pike sometimes live to he one hundred
and fifty years of age.
Diseases, adverse weather, lack Of
food and enemies affect nearly all
forms of wild life. so that few ami
mails die of old age. and the scientist
experiences difficulty in assembling
data as to the natural span of their
lives.

Research Into Past
Would Be Interesting

How fond we are of prophecy !
There is a steady and unfailing de-
mand for representations; the novel
lists and utopia-mongers, the scientific
popularizers are ready to supply it.
We read in an endless succession of
books and pamphlets and newspaper
articles about the future of politics
and marriage, of art and war, of cook
ing, science, religion, clothes, flying
machines, morals and thousand 9TH
er things. Among the few important
entities about which nobody, so far as
Lam aware, has yet written proph-
ecy Is the Past. This is the more
surprising, since our interest in times
gone by is as keen as our interest in
time to come. A prognostication of
the Future of the Past, based on a
study of the Past's past and the Past's
present, should make multiple ap-
peal to the ''time snobs" of this age.

ture would be scarcely less popular

Take Horrible Risk
in Pursuit of Sport

Savages are as fond of sport as are
civilized peoples. but many of their
games appear to be unduly risky. One
such game is "clam batting" played
on the Coral sea. The procedure is
for man to swim directly over a
giant clam-which may weigh several
hundred pounds-as 1t lies wide open
on the bottom, waiting to entrap fish
and other food. and drop a stone into
It. This causes the clam to bring its
tremendous serrated "lips" together
with terrific speed, and the danger
lies in the rush of water caused by
this sudden movement sweeping the
man into the creatures grip, from
which there would be no getting
away. There have been many narrow
escapes and some cases in which the
batter was caught. But the natives
think il great fun and talk delight
edly of how they had made the clam
think he got something to eat when
he only got stone."-London Daily
News.

How Indians Fashioned
Implements Of Stone

Indians obtained their material for
stone implements freshly from the
earth when possible. A piece of
stone was first split into suitable
fragments by holding it edgewise on
hard base and hitting it sharply
with a one-sided twist of another
stone, says Pathfinder Magazine. The
fragments were trimmed to leaf
shape by striking them smartly with
hammer Of horn, bone or tough
granular stone mounted on light
handle. Stones thus prepared were
then carried to camp to be finished
at leisure. They were buried in damp
soil, not to hide them, as often sup
posed, but to keep them even-tem-
pered. This practice accounts for the
caches of crude arrowheads often
found. The finishing was done with
a chisel-like pressure implement of
bone or buckhorn. Frequently the
crude arrowhead was folded in a
buckskin pad to keep it from break
ing and then placed on stone or
notched block of wood with the mar
gin projecting over the edge. By APP
plying strong, abrupt pressure at the
proper points with the pressure tool,
skilled artisan detached flakes with
considerable ease. In this manner
margins were trimmed, stems formed,
notches made and points sharpened.
Heat and fire played no part in the
process.
