Anything animate that is their own, that pro- tects, and, in turn gives unfailing loyalty for a master’s care. The country child still has his dog or her pet lamb. Time was when nearly every town boy had his pup, and the sight of a dozen tumbling children cascading over a great benevolent Dane, or riding | three deep on the broad back of a mastiff, or going to school chaperoned by a Newfoundland was as common as it was delightful. Nowadays the dog is of tin and runs on wheels. | A child raised with a dog is lucky. The eter-! nal lesson of loyalty, unquestioning obedience, un-| quivering faithfulness, unafraid protectorship, and over jovial companionship cannot help but! leave a wonderful impress on the child. Any man here present who was lucky enough} to have a dog for his own as a boy remembers the} dog with as sincere devotion as he does his first} love. Chickens are silly things but the girl who has fondled and reared baby chicks has early been! sanctified in the divine order of motherhood. | The lamb that was raised by hand on the nurs-| ing bottle did more for its nurses than they did for| it in inculcating the fundamental virtues. The broad backed family horse that never | shied, that was ever patient, that nosed you over} for sugar lumps, and that stood outside the meet-| ing house on a Sunday morning, the embodiment | of family virtue, loyalty and high-bred patience, | such a horse was almost as much an aid to Chris-} tian character as. grandmother, with her Dutch cakes, and spicy cookies, and:a vast understanding of the needs of.the juvenile stomach. And the spindle legged calves, and the woolly colts, and the pigs that learned to follow you about | the place like puppies, and the make-believe fierce | old gander and the tame pigeons} and the woolly | witted fat sheep, all these dumb ones under the benevolent dominion of the farm family were loyal | vassals, whose virtues reflected in the tenderness | and patience and kind heartedness of all who lived | with them. is epidemic should NOT arouse one’s fears. That is NOT the object of the publicity given such an epidemic: by newspapers and health authorities. The purpose is to incite carefulness, thoughtful- ness, watchfulness’and caution—to put you on your guard so that you may know best how to prevent it touching you and yours, and if it reaches into-your home, how best to fight it. When such publicity, by printed page or word of mouth fright- en you, consider the moral in this old story we heard a long time ago: A farmer ‘came home one evening and told his wife and children that rattlesnakes were thick in the neighboring wood. Of course they were 20 frightened, and gave loud and repeated expression to their fears. Finally the good wife exclaimed: “Henry, why in the world did you tell us? Now you have scared the children and I so that we will be afraid to go out of the house.” “T told you,” the father replied, “so that nc of you would go into the wood, and if you do, take a heavy club with you. I guess I’ll take the boys along and go down and see if we can’t make this neighborhood unsafe for rattlesnakes after this.” So it is with disease. It would be like burying our heads in the sand to pretend that the flu didn’t kill half million people in this country last year; that it didn’t attack millions of others; that it may not recur this fall and winter. It is better to know that rattlesnakes are in the woods than not to be in possession of that information. It is still better to oust the rattlesnakes. “So with the ‘flu.’” Don’t be afraid. Be prepared! eee | -WITH THE EDITORS | pee NORTH DAKOTA BANK As a corollary of the closing at Fargo of the Scandinavian-American bank, which had loaned $432,000 to the National Nonpartisan league and three subsidiary concerns, a loan rather mildly called by the state banking board excessive and made on unsound security, an attempt has been made to examine the Bank of North Dakota to ascertain “what moneys,” if any, have been di- verted to illegal “purposes.” The examination was ordered at the instance of the attorney gen- eral, one of the governors of the bank, the other two being the governor of the state and the state commissioner of agriculture and labor. The Bank of North Dakota is perhaps the most famous and curious of the institutions established by Mr. Townley, the autocrat of North Dakota and of the Nonpartisan league. In intention or pre- tense it is an imitation of the numerous rural credit banks of Europe, banks where farmers, ar- it is something entirely different and it is con- ducted according to rules unknown in any code of banking laws since modern banking began. It keeps no reserve; at least it is not bound to. The state banks have to have a reserve amounting to 10 per cent of their time certificates and 20 per /cent of their demand deposits. The Bank of North attorney general of North Dakota, told the Mon- tana Press association the other day, “can loan out all of its money and keep nothing to pay its Man needs animals‘ just as he needs children. | He requires the weaker vassals to raise him to| the spiritual dignity of an overlord. | And in the old days even townspeople had | enough retainers of this sort about them to be! kept kindly. | Now we have a devil wagon that snorts and! stinks, for our family horse. A contrivance that! gets there and back, but that cares nothing for! kind words, caressing, pats, nor a rug by the fire. | We defy anybody ‘to acquire character by con-| sorting with a six-¢ylinder engine, on a December| morning when the radiator’s frozen. And for a watchdog we have a burglar alarm} that never causes any real burglar a moment’s! alarm. Wires and devices and engines and thingama- bobs, instead of flesh and blood, devotion and sin- cere admiration. It was a poor swap, especially for these white- washed poor anaemic city kids, who would prob- ably break in two if they indulged in a regular romp with a regular pup. DON’T LET FEAR OF THE “FLU” CONQUER YOU! Most physicians are agreed that fear of a dis- ease in many instances paves the way for that disease ; that it weakens the body’s resistance, and lessens the chance of recovery. This is true of the “flu fear.” Disease germs are everywhere, practically. They are lodged in every person’s body. They float through the air. They are in food we eat, things we touch; they are on the lips of the baby you kiss—and, what is more serious still, they are on the lips of those who kiss baby. But there is no sane reason for being frightened about it. Ordinarily the body can win a victorious battle with disease germs. To win, though, the body must be in sound condition. That includes the tis- sue, blood and bone. Fear weakens the body. The weakened body is no more apt to come into contact with disease germs than is the healthy body, but where the healthy body can wage successful war- depositors.” It “can loan all of its funds to one individual and overdrafts are not forbidden.” Only the le; public funds have to be deposited in it. Thus it isjv' sure of deposits, amounting recently to some $16,- 000,000. “Yet,” says Mr. Packard, while such de- posits are being made, the bank may be insolvent and refuse to honor the warrants of the political subdivisions making the deposits. It may con- tinue to transact business, including the receipt of deposits after insolvency. No penalty is attached to the mishandling of the funds.” This extraordinary bank doesn’t have to pub- lish statements of its condition. No penalty! can bé inflicted upon its officers for making false re- ports. It doesn’t have to make good bad debts or impaired capital. “Upon depositing the public funds in this bank all public treasurers and their bondsmen are released from liability. If the money is squandered or embezzled, the amount can be made good only by taxation.” Moreover, it is allowed by the act creating it to “transfer funds to other departments, institutions, industries, en- terprises or business projects of the state, which shall be returned wtih interest to the bank.” That is, it “may transfer the school endowment to the credit of any state-owned enterprise from a glue factory to a humming-hird aviary.” The public moneys may be appropriated, without security to any state-owned enterprise. If the money is lost; the taxpayers can make up the deficiency. “If there is a deficiency, the state shifts money from one fund to another, and taxes the people for the deficit.” The public bank examiner and banking boards have no supervision over this child of Mr. Townley’s genius. The directors are not bound to examine its condition. The bank examiner does indeed examine, but he reports to the governors, a political body. The attorney general, who happens to be un- sympathetic with the new banking, has called on the state auditor, likewise an anti-Townleyite, to examine this singular institution and ascertain if there has been any diversion of the public funds. The directors, of the bank and the magnates of the fare with encroaching germs—defeating them by preventing their multiplications—the weaker body cannot do this. Result is @ growing colony of dis- ease germs. Knowing that influenza (or any other disease) Nonpartisan league are resisting in the courts this wicked intrusion into political banking. As yet the controversy is sub judice, and one can only direct a reverent attention toward one of the most eccentric banks of the world—New York Times.

Refuses to Make It a Farewell Ceremony and Talks on Man’s | Mission in Life to Become a Conqueror Instead—Fine Mu- sical Program—Masons At- tend in a Body. The popularity of a man was fitting- ly, demonstrated. last night at the even ing services at | McCabe’ Methodis church where Dr, W. J. Hutcheson ap- peared for the last time urch before ‘he leaves for Grand this week to take up his new as superintendent of that dis- jut trict. The church wag crowded, all of the scats in the main portion being filled, the Sunday school department taxed and the balcony ¢rowded. The atten- dance was not confined to members of the church, there being a large rep- resentation of almost every religious bosdy in the city present. he Shriners sons of this city glory in the fact that Dr. Hutcheson nong their numbers, came to the rch in a body and occupied the en- tire center row of, pgws. The sery re It no sense in the nature of 1 service for Dr. Hutcheson insisted that he would not a Sermon on those lines, or conduct services. with that end in i where he hoped that day return. Instead of “Goodbye” to ‘his ends and members of his congrega- tion, this popular pastor preached on the qualities of a man and how instead of being only a “pebble on the beach” lie Was in reality a “conqueror.” f gram was given which included F, H. Hurley who rendered a saxaphone scio, the male quartette of the church and a duet “Watchman, What of the Night” sung by Henrg Halverson and George Humphries. RECEPTION TONIGHT George Wallace announced — that there would be held in the basement cf the church tonight a reception to Dr, and Mrs, ‘Hutcheson to which everybody in this vicinity who would like to join in bidding the pastor and hig wife farewell would be welcomed. There will be a short program. ‘The text for this sermon was, “Thou madest him but little lower than God” from the 37th verse, 8th chapter, epis- tle to the Romans. Dr, Hutcheson quoted from the writings of famous men to show what.their conception of man was from a worm to a pebble on the beach, from a wart on a pickle to an infant grouping blindly in the darkness, higher and more noble than any of these,” said Dr. Hutcheson; “Man, and when I say man I included al} mem- bers of the human race, was made by God to be a conquerer and if you and I and every one of us fail to measure It’s a fact that the use of alcohol even in moderate doses as taken in tonics is often habit-forming in effect.
