North Dakota has had it's boom
days. They are past, and in their
stead has come the steady growth
that is increasing in volume and
strength each year. Nothing
gives better evidence of this than
that the free. government land is
now nearly all taken under the
homestead law, and that nearly all
the railroad land has passed into
the control Of big land companies
which are in turn disposing of it
to eastern people who are becom-
ing actual settlers, with means and
will to develop their broad acres,
Like all new states North Dakota
had it's earlier years of depression
and poor crops, and like them il
has won in the struggle for the
goal Of prosperity. This is the

MISTAKE

II is q well-known fact that Lydia
T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than m other
remedy. It therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female Ills
But some women make the mistake
Of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because it is new.
That mistake Is often q fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness Of
the experimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results of such experiments? Is it not.
better to depend upon q medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as'good.
It cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
hams Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best. This is not q
assertion, but is a positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
Rely on your WI common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take a medicine that you knozv is
good, and is backed by such letters as
these to Mrs. Pinkham:

The fall Of Dewey in the esti-

seems a remarkable thing, but
Dewey did not sieze the oppor-
tunity offered him for realizing
his presidential aspirations when
at the height of his popularity and
seeks the honor after letting the
opportunity slip by. The Ameri-
can people generally, remember
ing the great service he rendered
to his country, regret the GOODNESS
with which his announcement has
been received but Dewey evidently
is no politician.

Prosperity has struck the little
town of Hunter, in Cass county,
and a building boom will be in
progress there during the summer.
Editor Weatherhead is getting
out a first class paper in. the
Hunter Herald. He deserves a
better patronage than he is re-
|ceiving.
The Oberon Reporter gives
Minnewaukan a good write-up,
and prints a picture of the $4,000
court house soon to be erected
there.
The Hunter Herald says there
is a gang of stove peddlers work
ing in North Dakota and warns
farmers to look out for them.
Their scheme is as follows: "A
smooth talking fellow will visit a
house stating that he rep
|resents some Iron Range Co.,
and offers to put in q range on six
months trial. The prices of these
ranges are generally $68 or $50
cash. IF at the end of the six
months the people who take the
stoves are satisfied they may pay
SO down and the balance in an
|nual payments. Those who. take
the stoves are requested to sign q
certain document which the agent
will claim is to merely show the
company that everything is all
right, but they soon find the docu-
ment is nothing more than a clev-
erly worded promissory note
payable on demand. The stoves,
like the agreement, are also a fraud
and soon prove to be worthless.
We hope that if these charlatans
should attempt to work their game
in this vicinity the people will
have sufficient f%orethought to
drive them from their premises"

cies which accomplish Just as
much good. Take Hostetters
