FRIDAY, SEPT. 15, 191 I THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO KANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES It is up to the citizens of Wash burn whether they want a larger Bchool or not. Since school opened last week a number of farmers have been here looking for places for their children either to work for their board or to pay board and go to school, but no place can be found except the hotel. The child ren will have to go to some other town where places can be found. The school board has almost enough money to erect a large brick build ing, but if no country eiiikiren come here this one can accomodate I I rm 'mm :mr\ I '/rrn ona mtmnc \j%j* Mm. Co. Dogden ui ilk •str JM »5ltS the town children and none will have to be bnilt. Everyone wants to see Washbarn grow, and each one should take a personal inter est in seeing what can be done about this matter. A larger school means a better school, and Wash burn wants the best. If you know of any place for a school girl or boy, mention it to a member of the school board and he will see that one is placed at once. This town seems large enough to ac commodate a great many energetic boys and girls. The Washburn commercial club has been at work for a number of weeks trying to get the commercial clubs in other towns in the county interested in a county exhibit. It seems as though Wilton and Garrison are the only towns who have responded and the failure of towns to do so has discouraged the the boosters to such an extent that the whole matter has been dropped. We are sure this county can raise as good grain and vegetables as any other counties in the state but there will be no way to prove it now to the many who will attend the exposition at Bismarck, it is regretted that such is the case and it may be some time before such a chance is again given to advertise the county so well. »TSattendance,equipment,coursesof s- For Tour Home An JjJ7ADSJf//EMfALL\ great influenceextends far and wide.

Burdick, lieutenant gov ernor of North Dakota, made a public statement that he will not be a candidate for district judge of his district nor for congress from the west district. He says he may become a candidate for governor. That will depend, he further states, upon whether there is any particular demand for his candidacy. He standi! for the principles advocated by 'Theodore Roosevelt and says he will not compromise his belief in these policies for ai\y public office. Last week we made mention of the fact that Editor Jone of the Turtle Lake Wave was selling a farm and would move to the coast for his health. We are informed that the conclusion we drew from his editorial was entirely wrong. We infered the reason for his leav ing, which he does not intend to do, was on account of the $5000 li bel he has on his hands as the re sult of an article published in* the Wave about the Wassou-Hawes horsewhipping case. By selling the farm, it would give thecom plianant less chance to collect and $5000 is no small amount to lose. 7 vv Everybody likes to do business with a live business man. A live business man is one who shows enterprise in soliciting your busi ness through the advertising col umns of the home paper. The Leader is your home paper, and the merchants who aid it with their advertising patronage are worthy of your encouragement. The premium list of the North Dakota Industrial Exposition has been sent out and in looking it over one will find many valuable prizes ottered, not only for grains and vegetables, but also for all kinds of needle work. A copy of the premium list can be had by sending to the commissioner of agriculture at Bismarck. There's nothing strange about Cole's store at Kenmare being robbed. Cole carried a full page ad in the local papers and every bo in the country knew that if anyone had any money—it was the live advertiser.—McCluBky Gazette.
