It has been several years since the
state conference has hell forth in
Grand Forks, and it is not believed
that there will be much opposition to
the plan of bringing the 1911' meet
ing to the city.
The program that is being arranged
for the gathering in BLsnnarck next
month will be one of tlie very best
promulgated. There are a number of
important questions up for discussion,
and some of the leading members of
the clergy will participate in the sev
eral sessions. Besides there are a
number of prominent outside speak
ers coming for the gathering.

The largest sword of which there is

the hands of a modern Godfrey de

PARISIAN SAGE GIRLS
You never saw a beautiful woman
who didn't have beautiful hair. The
charm of a beautiful woman lies in
her hair.
Many women do not realize the at
tractions they possess because they
do not give proper attention to their
hair.
The women of Paris are famed for
their beauty, not because their facial
features are superior to those of other
women, but because they know how
to keep young by supplying vigor, lus
tre and strength to the hair.
Up to three years ago Parsian Sage
could hardly be obtained in America.
But now this delightful hair restorer
can be had in every town in America.
Lenhart Drug store sells it in Bis
marck for 50 cents a'Dirge bottle and
they guarantee it to grow beautiful,
luxuriant hair to turn dull, lifeless
hair into lustrous hair to stop falling
hair to stop itching of the scalp. Un

you your money hack if it fails. Made

Catcher Kling, of Chicago Cubs.
When Catcher Johnny Kling
patched up his differences with the
Chicago Cubs last spring there were
quite a few baseball fans who pre
dicted that he would not return to the
form he had previously displayed.
It was said that he had been out of
the game for a whole season, that he
had not kept himself in good shape,
and a lot of other things. But he has
fooled all of the skeptics. He has
played as good ball this year as he
ever did before.
This has been displayed by the way

O'Connor on Wagner.
Jack O'Connor thinks that Hans
Wagner is the greatest thrower in the
game. He is and has been the best
thrower in the game, according to the

the game. There are many others
who think the same as O'Connor in

to have the season's long-distance bat
ting record. He will have to keep

Pat Livingstone ls touted as the
star catcher of the Athletics. He will
likely do most of the backstopplng la
the world's series, but he will have to
travel some to get an even break with

Catcher Ainsmlth of the Senators

as a wonder. The new man ls filling

ease. Winning' or losing, they do

"Bull" Perlne, the American league
umpire, who has been officiating back
of the plate for seven years, says um
piring is becoming easier. The rowdy
ism of former years has been almost
entirely eradicated.
Lee Ford Tannehill thinks that the
Cubs will be bothered more by Cy Mor

of the Athletic staff. "There never was

more than the Cubs do," satd Tanny.
