WS3R h? 99wM1? Triage -xcror (-'ubiiahod on Erldpy of each week at Bpiybella. IW.1 B. A. STEFONOWICZ Entered as second-class matter July 24.1908, at the postoflice at Bowbells. N. Dak., under the act of March 3. 1879. Subscription Rates: To any point in U. S.. per year $1.50 To Canada, per year, in advance 2.00 COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER Before long it will be the high cost of living. November is delaying the over coat as long as possible. Champion Jack Johnson is in for a knockout in his bout with pub lic sentiment. With weather like Saturday, Sunday and Monday, who minds the coal shortage. We've got to hand it to T. R. Anyhow, he doesn't claim the el ection was stolen. Abdul Hamid and Porf Daiz should get together some after noon and swap laughs. In addition to all the other great crops this fall there is an im mense crop of Democrats. They say the new $10,000 bill is a work of art. Many of us will have to take their word for it. Pistol tragedies are largely of the order which would not happen were the pistol conspicuous of its absence. The Turks may be good fighters, but the capture of so many of them indicates that they are mighty poor runners. The Colonel says he has almost forgotten about the bullet. The result of the elecction was a fine counter-irritant. Every family should plant a few (lower seeds, thus providing the family dog with soft earth in which to bury his bone. Every woman whose husband is a failure is sure he would have been a howling success had he fol lowed her advise. Our idea of the stingiest man is the citizen of Richmond who made his wife pay his poll tax and then voted against woman's suffrage. Every time the Balkan states capture a town the American peo ple discover a place whose exist ence they never before suspected. Walking on the new railroad grade, it is now charged, has led to lovemaking. But what human ac tivity is there that doesn't, pray? Fame comes to all places in var ying guises. A town in Arkansas challenges national attention be cause it has a dog that wears spec tacles. Where a whipping may improve one boy it will create a grudge and a thirst for revenge in anoth er. Parents have several prob lems besides making a living. A mastodon's skeleton has been found in Alaska. The find will probably be discounted later on by the discovery of the remains of the largest Bull Moose on record. Schoolboy asks the editor to re commend a subject for high school debating society. Certainly! Re solved, that women will still be afraid of mice after they get the ballot. Jack Johnson says he is going to Russia. If he hasn't enough mon ey it will be easy to raise sufficient to enable him to continue his trip to Siberia. A number of rabbits upon whom coffee was tried to determine the effect, of the caffeine it contained died, proving beyond a doubt that coffee was never intended as food for rabbits. One of the rules issued by a Balkan power for the guidance of war correspondents says that such persons "may be suspended at will." Not, we trust, from the nearest tree? Unless William J. Bryan changes his mind—which he is little like to do—he will not accept office of any kind under the Wilson administra tion. He can be of more service outside than in. Los Angeles has opened a school where girls are to be taught dress ing as a fine art. We presume the institution will be coeducational with a "hook-me-up" course for prospective husbands. There were a few voters in the Bowbells country who voted for Lignite for county seat two years ago to spite this city. However, none would admit it. In Divide county the number residing in the Ambrose territory who voted for Crosby for permanent county seat at the recent election was a great deal larger, and one of the Am brose papers is telling them where tbey made a mistake. "Tjjif 0ntici|ie ppantott pi jgpnfer Nevada must be waking up the fact that it is gaining an un- savory reputation as the divonc state of the nation, for its present legislature has made the conditions less easy. This is another in stance of the wholesome effect of public opinion upon lawmakers even when money interests are con cerned. Under the parcels post regula tions packages can be mailed only at the postoflice or at one of the substations, and only special post age stamps can be used. A far mer would not be allowed to mail a package on a rural route. The postoflice department appears to be as kind as possible to llie ex press companies. Miss Maud Malone, the American militant suffragette, was found guilty in court of disorderly con duct in interrupting a Wilson pol itical meeting, but sentence was suspended. She repaid this judi cial gallantry by declaring the jud ges were afraid to punish her, and maybe she was right. It is a dan gerous experiment to make mar tyrs these sympathetic days. Train wrecks and resulting hol ocausts are getting too frequent in our modern scheme. The safe guards of travel are not keeping proportionate pace with the speed resources and taking chances has become far too much of a habit. But these tragedies will continue to happen until public opinion be gins to look on avoidable accidents as practical crimes and demand that they be dealt with has such. VISITING AND ROADS One of the needs of country life is a better social life. It has been found that good roads are condu cive to social life on the farms. When the road is good it is an easy matter to hitch up and drive over to the neighbors, to church, to the picnic, to the entertainment at the school house. The good road is al so followed by a better school and better homes. The better class of people will want to live there. The good road also makes it possible to market the farm produce more easily and cheaply, and at all times of the year. These things result in the good road making the land worth more. The good road is to the farm what the railroad is to the city. UNWRITTEN LAW ENLARG ED. There is an illustration of the logical absuridities into which the theory that there is an "unwritten law" in this country of written and specific guarantees and statutes in a case on trail at Columbus, O., the reports of which are garnished with declarations that it is a "test" of the "unwritten law/' If so, the unwritten law has re ceived a new and indefinite en largement. The original draft of that peculiar incursion upon juris prudence was that a father whose family ties had been violated, was justified in avenging the wrong by murder. But in this case a new form is that a woman who has been misled has the right to kill her betrayer, not on account of the original offense, but because he threatened to expose her past to the man who seeks her hand in honorable marriage. If this expansion of law, which being unwritten, can be constued to suit each individual need, is tolerated, there is no telling where the elastic limit may be reached. TRAINING GIRLS FORWIVES A Washington preacher advocates the establishment of a school for training wives. The best school for a girl to become a good wife is a good home, with a good moth er. The great trouble is, there are so many mothers who don't care about training their daughters for housekeeping. They want to make ladies of them, and have them sit in the parlor crocheting, playing the piano and reading so ciety novels. Now the influence of a good mother is such that when the time comes for a daughter to make her own home she will cook all right and be able to attend to all the de tails of her home. It is the in different and foolish mothers who make poor house-keepers of their girls, and bring upon them matri monial hazards. There is a won derful preservative in the spirit of a home, and it has saved from mis fortune and ruin many a boy and girl. Where these influences are lack ing, didactic teaching in a training school will be beneficial, but there will be nothing that will take the' place of a sensible mother. Lucky, indeed, is the girl who has one. ALL CAN GIVE THANKS By official proclamation of Pres ident Taft, the last Thursday in November has been set aside as Thanksgiving Day.

The solitary Social ist in Congress, Berger, of the Milwaukee district, was defeated by a fusion nominee. The only Socialist in the Pennsylvania legis lature was retired from public life. The Socialist mayor of Schenec tady was rejected at the polls. Ex cept for the greatly increased vote for their presidential candidate the party seems to have -nothings to offset these losses. Doubtless the Socialist propa ganda is gaining converts from year to year As long as the party re mains a minority organization, however, it stands in constant per il of defeat whenever its oppon ents choose to combine against it. So far, the Socialist party has been useful only as a means of effective protest when both the major par ties override public sentiment and show themselves amenable to no other kind of discipline. 1.

A report reached this city the fore part of the week to the effect that "Dutch" Menzel, who played ball with the local team during the past two years, died at his home in Min nesota. We learn that the report was verified, but have been unable to learn the cause of his demise. "Dutch" won the friendship of a great many Bowbells people while here, and news of his death was a great shock to us all who did not even know that he was ill. H. A. Hanson and wife of Pow ers Lake spent the entire week in Bowbells while Mr. Hanson tried several cases in district court. Mr. Hanson was unanimously elect ed to the office of states attorney of Burke county at the present elec tion, and we learn that he intends moving to this city in a week or two, he having already leased a residence here for occupancy dur ing his term of office. Geo. H. Phelps is just in receipt of a commission from Wm. B. Mel lish, Grand Master of the Grand En campment of Knights Templar of the United States, appointing him as Representative of the Grand Mas er to the Grand Commandery of Montana. But one man in North Dakota has previously been honored by a similar appointment and Mr. Phelps appreciates the distinction. Ice cream of the very best quality at the Benno Drug Co. for Thanks giving. Be sure to get some. DP productive that the let the American peo- n upon by their chief executive, contemplate their many blessings with grateful and ciative hearts. appre- Thanksgiving has its more ma terial consideration, as well, sym bolized, perhaps, by the groaning table laden with edible evidence of plenty and prosperity and it is comforting to have the assurance that the price of turkey promises to be such as to afford the usual delight of eating a rare morsel for the multitudes of Americans who will gobble the gobbler in the cen tury-old pastime of eating a Thanksgiving dinner. The season of political turbalence gives place to the period of placidity and of joyfulness that is a bration of De cember, in which the entire world participates. It is delightful to realize that amid the fitful fevers of the times there comes such fine and exhil arating separations from the cares and anxieties of life when wor ship and praise and the pastimes of of social converse have sway and the highest distinction is that of the dinner. Only one week away, the day of home gladness and of repletion of the dinner of maximum interest during the course of the year will have arrived. So let dull care aside and let everyone prepare for the home delight and social fellow ship of the most truly American holiday Socialist Gains and Losses. During the campaign Socialists said they hoped to poll 1,000,000 votes for their presidential candi date. Complete figures are not yet available, but apparently the traditional third party failed of this expectation. However, their vote was increased by some hun dreds of thousands over that of four years ago and their showing in that respect may be considered satisfactory from a Socialist stand point. Tr iiv-inn A Mcrm Thanksgiving Day is drawing near again,- and a remark that one has heard frequently this fall is: that everyone ought to turn out this year to a Thanksgiving service. Well! we shall see. An opportuni ty is to be given the citizens of Bow bells to attend a Thanksgiving ser vice in the Presbyterian church next Thursday at 11 o'clock A. M. This is not to be a Presbyterian service, but a citizen's service with out any denominational tag what ever and the doors are thrown open to every citizen. It is befitting that every citizen should reveren tly observe this national anniver sary. If the Puritan Fathers felt constrained to hold a Thanksgiv ing Service for the first harvest they reaped in this land there ought to be a greater constraint upon its to do so. Our harvests are always better than ever theirs were, oui fortunes and circumstances are much in advance of what theirs were. Every man whether a far mer or not ought to be thankful for the harvest that has been gath ered this year for we all depend upon the success of the crops. Every man as he reviews the past year, no matter how' hard his luck has been, discovers he has much to be grateful for. At this service there will he a Thanksgiving offering. The ob ject of the service is not to make money. Far from it. l?ut if any one ffeels like showing their^thank fulness in a practical way an op portunity will be offered them to do so. The railways, the stores, the banks and all other businesses are feeling the benefits of the big crops this year but there is no sign of any benefit coming to the church yet, and money is required t%, car ry on religious work as w. II as any other work. Last spring we had to do some necessary repairs to the church, the interior was also cleaned and painted. The exter ior now needs a coat of paint as ev ery one can see for themselves. The reason it does not get it is that we have no money. It will be a shame if the church has to go an other year without being painted in a year of such good crops as this. Any Thanksgiving gifts we may receive will be devoted to the repairs of the church property. Let all the citizens assemble to gether for-an hours Thanksgiving service on Thanksgiving Day, and show that Bowbells is not the God less place that some people would try to make it out to be. There will also be a Thanks ing service in he Westminister church at night at 8 o'clock.
