Devil and laps Lose at Westhope
Last Saturday night was Hallowe'en, and next morning one would have thought that the devil and all his imps had been abroad all night. Innocent pranks that don't cause trouble or mean property destroyed are alright, but when it comes to destroying and dam-airing property, it is all wrong. Last Saturday night grown men, young men, boys and even girls who consider themselves young ladies, were out tipping over out-buildings of different kinds, many of them being damaged to a certain extent. Men who have grown up should know better, and it
I yould seem that young girls y Would be better off in some other business.—Westhope Standard.

On this day it is meet and rijjht for us to render thanks to Almighty God for blessings and merciful gifts bestowed.
Therefore 1, L. B. Hanna, Governor of the State of North Dakota, in conformity with traditional custom and in pursuance of a proclamation issued by the President of the United States, do hereby designate and proclaim Thursday, November 20, 1914, as Thanksgiving Day, and request our people to suspend their daily vocations and render unto Him the homage and reverance due.

In a Perfume Factory. Musk is perhaps the most valuable
find delightful of all perfumes, yet the refiner as lie opens the musk p> ds must wear thick cloths over iiinutb and nostrils, so repulsive is the mlor chut the pods emit. Indeed, tills odor, inhnled for any length of time, causes nosebleed. Civet. karaKUlliic «nd ambergris have in small quantities » delicious perfume, but in lar>;e quantities rhey smell so abominable as to jrlve the worker nausea. The hawthorn blossom is delicately sweet, and perfumers prize it highly, yet a roomful of hawthorn blossoms smells like a charnel house. This, too. is true of the tuberose.
