Still More COunterfeiting.

The secret service has unearth-
ed another band of counterfeiters
and secured a large quantity of
bogus bills, which are SO cleverly
executed that the average person
would never suspect them of being
spurious. Things of great value
are always selected by counter
feiters for imitation, notably the
celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators
but no equals for indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, nervousness
and general debility. The Bitters
sets things right in the stomach,
and when the stomach is in good
order it makes good blood and
plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength
and vitality, and restore vigor to
the weak and debilitated. Beware
of counterfeits when buying.

the hey-day of life and desire is
past, without seeking a definite
way to spend the remainder Of life
are objects Of pity. Unless we
discover by that time some great
working method in the universe
and settle on one for ourselves
this hustling, hurrying huckster-
ing family of human being will
seem like a witless, aimless mob.
With q working method for our
own lives, the feeling creeps into
the heart that there must be many
more like US and the world not
such an aimless affair after all.
The deepest human love is Oft
times the last to speak of itself, for
fear of being misunderstood.
Rightly too. The dashing picture
of a galloping horse is shown on
many a wall. A photograph of a
galloping horse is shown on many
a wall. A photograph of gallop-
ing horse looks unnatural, yet is
the truth, while the picture we ap-
prove is a lie. A love scene in a
play has to be like that horse, a
picture of love that all will recog-
nize as they think it ought to be.
Yet never a love scene has been
played or written that tells the
truth of what human loye is and
can do. That is locked in the
hearts of those who know, andthey
tell it not for fear it be denounced
as unlike q play or a book.

TRADE WITH THE ORIENT.

TRADE WITH THE ORIENT.
For the last few years our trade
with the Orient has been steadily
increasing. and existing conditions
promise this country an extensive
trade with Japan and China. The
wealth Of this country lies in the
Pacific ocean and our commercial
relations with our Oriental neigh
bors should be quickly and we'll
developed.
During the fiscal year 1899,
merchandise to the value of $751;
305,688 was exchanged with Japan
and China; while that of 1889
amounted to only SAG, 1884, 67, an
increase in ten years of $4l, OIL, 52l.
Thus it is shown that in the last
ten years we have nearly doubled
our trade with the Orient and if
the same increase can be con-
tinued, this country will have
found a custumer that will take
all our trade and we will no longer
have to depend upon the markets
of Europe for Jul prices.
OF our trade with Japan and
China during 1899. 500, 89O,653

United States, and $47,8l5,O OBS
the imports into this country; the
imports exceeding the exports

previous years shows a much
larger per cent of imports over
exports and it is pleasing to note
that the latter now nearly equal
the former.

State Conventions.

The Republican State Central Committee has
appointed Wednesday, May 16, as the day, aud
Fargo as the city for holding the state conven-
ton to select delegates to the national conven-
ton, and Wednesday, July 18th, at Grand Forks,
: the state nominating convention.
The representations to these conventions is
based on the average vote cast for congressman
and governor in 1898. Each county is to have
two delegates at large, and one delegate for each
fifty votes or major fraction thereof, of the aver
age vote. The following table gives the vote
cast for congressman and governor in each
county, and the total number of delegates to
which each county is entitled:

St. Thomas Times: Flax fibre
mills in the state are paying $3.50
per ton to farmers for their straw.
This is a good price for a product
that has heretofore been burned to
get rid of it. The fax fibre mills
have all put in threshing machines
and are threshing over all the straw
purchased, before it is used for
the manufacture of flax fibre pro-
ducts, and it is claimed that from
81 to S. worth of fax seed is taken
out of each ton of this fax straw,
that has been once run through a
thresher. The statement of the
flax fibre men, if true, should set
farmers thinking. If the average
threshing machine leaves from 81
to SIS worth of seed in each ton of
straw threshed, some more careful
method of threshing should be de-
vised in order to make the flax
crop pay it's full return to the pro-
ducer.

Bismarck Tribune: The pros
perity Of the state is again proven
by the fact that collections of
taxes by the different counties of
the state was heavier during the
month Of January than ever be-
fore in the history of the state.
The size of these collections is
reflected in the remittance by
county treasurers to the state
treasurer, which have been larger
than expected by thousands of
dollars-proving that there is an
increase in the taxable property of
the state-and that the taxpayers
have ready money to pay their
taxes before delinquency. The
railroads have been prompt in pay
ing their taxes, and the counties
along the Northern Pacific have
been benefited by the prompt
payment Of both the real and
personal taxes of the road.

Every merchant should set aside
a certain amount of time for his
advertising work. If he cannot
find time to give to this branch of
his business the attention it re-
quires, he should make it the duty
of one of his assistants. Nearly
all merchants find it difficult to
write adveltisements. If each
merchant would remember how he
talks to the patron in his store,
and talk to the public in his adj
vertisments in the same honest,
simple, plain English way, there
would be much more good adver.
Using. Very few men can write
a good humorous advertisement.
Therefore the temptation to be
funny or cute should be avoided,
The aim should always be to bring
out the good points of the goods
advertised, but not to exaggerate
them. The advertisement that
strikes the happy medium between
inadequacy and exaggeration will
be very nearly perfect. Sentences
should be short, and the whole adj
%vertisement should be as short as
it possibly can be without losing
