CON MUNICATED

Editor of the Cou1IER-DEMocRAT:
I notice clipping from the Milton
Globe claiming, on what it says is we'll
founded suspicion, that our North Dako-
ia wheat is extensively used for mixing
with the poorer wheat raised further
south, and therefore we do not get the
full price for our wheat that we are
entitled to.
Why, sir, this is not only suspicion,
but actual facts, we'll known to many of
our North Dakota farmers. Last winter
while visiting in southwestern Minnesota
I noticed at one of the elevators at the
station where I stopped, that there we're
cars of North Dakota wheat unloaded
every day for the several weeks that I
stayed there. The wheat was loaded
into wagons and taken into the elevator
and 1t was not suppose to be North Da-
kota wheat, but it was the actual stuff,
aud the agent openly admitted that it
was and that he used it for mixing the
poorer kind of wheat raised in that local
ity, of which I saw several samples, both
at elevators and among the farmers
there, and for the eighteen years that
I have lived here I never saw as much
as one bushel of rs poor wheat raised in
North Dakota. And I am positive t. at
none of our elevator agents in Grand
Forks county would have taken any of
that wheat at any grade at all
| But those Minnesota farmers get most
ly No l Northern for their poor stuff,
which Melted them there more than we
OF for our good wheat here, which when
mixed INTO that poor quality there helped
the buyers out on their deals and put
many dollar into the pockets of the
farmers there which they could not have
got without North Dakota wheat.
And now, just imagine. When elevator
companies out of the direct stations can
afford to pay local freight, unload and
reload cars of our Dakota wheat for the
purpose Of mixing to get even on grain
bought at least three grades above what
We could get, what will they not do at
terminal points? Right there again is
where North Dakota farmers are heeced
ard I hope that some of those exceeding
smart legislators of ours will this winter
be able to stand on their own legs and
pass laws that will stop eastern wheat
spectators from fleeing us at least in
that way. CHARLES J. Foss.

Why Babies are Cross.

It seems almost absurd to advise
mothers not to pinch babies feet,
and yet physicians say that much
of the fretfulness and irritation of
babyhood is due to tight shoes and
stockings. Not tight, perhaps, from
a grown-up standpoint, but stuff
GENTLY snug to hurt the tender,
soft flesh of baby feet. The shoes
that are gotten for the very little
baby are often actual instruments
of torture, because of some slight
roughness or pressure.
If the shoe fits snugly, no matter
how soft it is, the sole is sure to
press into the sensitive flesh and
irritate the temper, if not actually
injure the nerves. Baby flesh is so
soft that mothers or nurses do not
notice how badly the little foot is
being crowded until impeded circu-
lation tells the story of suffering.
And small stockings are as fire.
quently means of injury as are
small shoes. Always buy both
shoes and stockings at least one
size larger than the so called "easy
fit This rule should hold good
until the foot has ceased to grow.
The result would be generation of
healthier, better tempered and more
graceful men and women.

For many years the navy depart
ment has been urging the necessity
of coaling and repairing gstation
in the West Indies. The lack OF
one was severely felt during the
Civil war, and even more so during
the troubles with Chile in 1891 and
over the Venezuela boundary in
1904. In 1867 Secretary Seward
made treaty with Denmark for
the purchase of St. Thomas for this
purpose, which was ratified by the
senate upon the condition that the
question of annexation be submitted
to vote of the inhabitants of the
island, The result was unanimous,
but ongress never made the appro
priation of $1,000, 900, which was
agreed upon as the price, and it fell
through. Subsequent attempts
have been made to renew the nego-
tiations, but Denmark's experience
has not encouraged her to take the

Two Men Hold Up Another Near New
Castle and Secure His valuables.
On last Friday evening, soon af-
ter dusk as Mr.. VIM. Ridenaur was
driving through a strip of timber
near New Castle, Ohio, known as
Barber's Woods, he was suddenly
accosted by two men, who proceed
ed to "hold him up" in the true
sense of the word. One of the
robbers was armed with a shot gun
and the other with a revolver.
They secured Mr.. Ridenour's
pocket.book containing about four
dollars in cash, and valuable gold
watch. Neither of the men were
masked, and though strange to Mr..
Ridenour, he says he can identify
either of them on sight.
Ridenour is an employe of A. ].
Limbaugh, the leading furniture
dealer, of Woodsfeld, and had been
delivering load of furniture to
Richard Schamhach, who lives
about two miles east of New Castle.
Two detectives visited the scene
of the robbery and claim they have
located the perpetrators.

German Guri VINO Married at le n
now studying Law I'm New York.

A German GFrl VINO MaErteu - 40 -
now studying Law I'm New York.
The woman's law class of the
University OF New York has re-
markable member in the person of
Mrs. Frauceska Haider who. though
only II years old, has been married
nearly year, has travelled all over
the world and has now settled down
to the study of the law that she
may be able to better the condition
of women in Germany.
Mrs Haider was born in Berlin.
Her father is wealthy architect,
designed most of the modern resi-
dence buildings of that city, his
more notable work being the pala-
tial residences that line the Kurfur-
stendamn, tha principal boulevard
of Berlin and the favorite drive OF
the kaiser. When, at I6, Fraulien
Pruss was graduated from her col
lege an accomplished linguist and
musician, her father wanted her to
take up the study of medicine at
Leipzig. but fraulein had no leaning
toward medicine. She was inter.
ested heart and soul in the emanci-
patton of German women.
"The lower classes are nothing
but beasts of burden" she said in
her charming German-English; u
must help them, and how can | do
1t better than by making myself
competent to make plain to them
their rights and privileges? Herr
Pruss took his pretty daughter on
little journey in Switzerland, and
one summer morning up in the
Tyrol she met handsome young
Austrian artist. They met in the
morning, were engaged in the even.
ing and would have been married
on the following morrow, they said,
but for papa. Papa was cruelty
phlegmatic and practical, and he
would have everything quite decor
Gus and conventional. Young
Hyider was an artist of fine Aus
trian family and for several years
he had been a globe-trotter. The
Berlin authorities would not per-
nit him to wed Fraulein Pruss un-
less he could produce a certificate
from the mayor of each and every
municipality in which he had ling
cred, affirming that Haider had uot
been married in their cities. So
that the bride and her family and
the bridegroom and his attendants
iourneyed to London town and
there they were married. After
which they returned to Berlin and
were married again, with no oppo'
sition this time, in the Kaiser Will
helm Gedaechtn!s Kircbe, the
church of the emperor. They came
to New York last August, she to
study law at the New York univer-
sity and he to study political science
at Columbus college,
