Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw's eldest
son Edgar arrived from Cooper
town, N. D. He has been on a
farm with friends since March
1st, and is glad to be home
again.
Lightning struck the Adams
farm barn last night, set it afire
and destroyed the barn-all it's
contents, including 14O horses.
A severe loss at this time of
the year.
John and Richard Carey of

George Johnson the con-
tractor and builder has some
work on hand for C. NJ. John
son of Dwight. Mr.. johnson
is on the move all the time, and
has one of the most commodi-

Prof. Steve Braun spent
most of last week at the twin
cities and heard Band Rosa at
two or three different times.
Said twin city critics claimed
this Italian band better than
Sousa's band and better than
any band Sousa ever directed.
The band was in the twin cities
two months and closed there
this week.
Mrs. J. H. Knox for county
school superintendent, is easily
among the foremost educators
of the state or of the northwest
and should get the hearty sup.
port of all classes of citizens.
The tendency of the times is to
leave school work largely in
the hands of the ladies. The
school is close to the home and
where lady is so competent
as Mrs. Knox is known to be, il
would seem to be the part Of
wisdom to place her at the
head of the school system OF
the county. With her superior
knowledge of school work and
school teachers, we believe she
would soon prove to the public
that no mistake had been made
in her selection as head of the
schools. Why not have the
best when it's all the same
price.
Monday afternoon young
man named John Simons who
for some time had been barn
boss at the Adams farm, this
county, hired a team of Floyd
Partridge, this city, and the
team not having been returned
as expected, Mr.. Partridge
phoned out to the farm, We'd
nesday, to learn something of
Simons, when he was told that
the young man had left the
farm June End and had not
been seen since. Mr.. Partridge
was then preparing to send out
notices to the different sheriffs
about the northwest, when
Sheriff Billings of Fergus Falls
phoned over and asked Floyd
if he had lost a team. Shefiff
Billings,did not know the team
but he knew Floy's peculiar
brides and thus soon found an

Luxurious Travelling on an In
perial Train,

Foreigners travelling through the
Middle and Western states are as
tonished at not only the comfort,
convenience and even luxury of
the homes of the American people,
but at the fine railroad equipment
and service they meet. Special
mention is made by them of the
elegance in furnishings and con-
veniences for every possible need.
"A great many of our visitors from
across the water do not realize that
the people in the interior of the
United States are educated and ac-
customed to the very best the land
affords and when travelling over
the country on an "imperialh train
like the North Western Limited"
their eyes open in surprise at the
superb eq1ipages furnished. Their
surprise is not to be wondered at
after an inspection of the Limited
running between the Twin Cities
and Chicago over the North West
ern Line. No train on the globe,
either here or in foreign lands, is
fitted with finer interior furnish
ings. Especially is this to be no.

You also have choice of six other

Cities and Chicago, when you
travel via the North Western Line.

why He Bought wholesale.

The slender stranger had just bought
q dollars worth of IL" tickets and
was folding them when the man from
Harlem asked:
"WhyT
1t is so seldom that a New Yorker
asks a reason for anything that the
slim stranger explained. Because one
ticket seller in the L Is sleight Of
hand artist" said he. II offered 81
bill in payment for single ticket q
few weeks ago and ought to have re-
ceived $4.9o In change. /, counted it
twice and could make out but S4.70. l
pushed 1t back to the ticket man, and
he at once pushed 1t back to me, gruff-
ly saying, Can't you coantY and as he
said 1t saw a quarter fall into the
pile of change from the palm that
pushed It. l retorted. It's all right
now,' and pocketed the money without
recounting 1t. He saw that had OBJ
served the trick, and the look he gave
me would have made me feel weak II

perience shortly before at the same

To begin with he's "a good fellow"
That's a phrase easier understood by
men than by women. 1t generally
means-well, 1t means he's an ali round
good sort In the male line.
Saturday afternoon he was feeling
pretty good. He had been quite thirsty
IL what he had taken was to be judged
as criterion. And the libations left
him In thoroughly good humor, and
he felt at peace with the world
In this delightful mental and phys
ical state he bethought him of friend
Of his in Providence, and he further
thought that he would call up that
particular friend on the telephone.
So he went to Broad street hotel,
told the young woman there who had
charge OF the telephone that he wanted
to speak to Mr.. So-and-so In Provi-
dence and wouldn't she kindly can up
the party.
The girl did as she was bade.
"Party's on the phone" she said.
and the man went into the telephone
box. sat down and put the receiver to
his ear.
And then he calmly and sweetly
dropped Off to sleep.
When he woke up, he owed the tele-
phone company 1920.
He said he wouldn't pay 1t. but he
did.-Philadelphia Press.

SHIRT WAISTS.


lew - LAunder Them without Tn
tuSing Color or Fabric.
When the waist has become soiled,
the frst precaution, Of course, In to
remove the buttons and shields; then
proceed to wash II In cold water, using
good laundrv soap. When II 10 clean.
rinse 1t In cold water. Do not use hot
starch, bluing or borax in the rinsing
water. Use any good powdered starch
that does not contain borax, making 1t
into a paste with boiling water. Then
thin the starch to the consistency de-
sired with fresh water until it is cold.
Pass the waist through the starch and
hang II In the sunshine until dry. This,
1t should be remembered, Is the only
way to retain the original colors of 8
waist through the process of launder-
ing.
A somewhat different method is Hec-
essary for the white waist. 1t should
be washed In hot water. The hotter
the water the whittier the fabric will
be- Rub until all the soiled marks are
removed; then wiring and place in a
tub, where boiling water may be pour
ed over 1t or, better still, boil for ten
minutes. To the scald add q little
powdered borax. The rinsing water
should be cold. with little bluing in 1t
10 insure snow whiteness. The waist
should be starched In the ordinary
manner, using the same kind Of starch
described for colored waists. This ap-
plies to the laundering Of all white
garments.
After the waist is thoroughly dry
sprinkle It with cold water until 1t is
moderately damp. Have some cold
starch ready. using four tablespoonfuls
Of powdered starch to one pint Of wa
ter. Dip the collar or collar band, cuffs
and waist fronts into the starch one
at time and be sure that every thread
Of the liner composing those parts is
saturated with starch. Then fold the
garment for few minutes, and II is
ready for ironing. Here the results de-
pend much upon the temperature of
the iron. and nice discrimination Is re-
quired to avoid too much or too little
heat. When ironing colored waist,
either Of silk or cotton fabric, one
should not use too hot an iron, and yet
1t must be hot enough to iron smooth
ly without blistering or sticking to
the starch. An overheated iron Injuries
bright eolors as much as do hot wa
ter and poor soap.
In ironing silk waist place a piece
Of cheesecloth over the garment and
Iron as any ordinary article. BY doing
this the natural appearance Of the silk
is preserved, which would be impos-
sible II the iron were brought in direct
contact with it---Woman's Home Com

Over 20 years ago an American civil
engineer, who visited Cabecera, In
Venezuela, was asked by deputation
Of the inhabitants, who had heard of
his skill as surveyor, whether he
thought q canal could be made from
their village to Provecue, which would
save a very long river journey. He
visited the district and found that by
taking advantage of two small streams
q canal Of about a league would be all
that was necessary.
The committee were delighted with
this report. and they begged the sur
veyor to write an official letter to the
government on their behalf, asking
that they might be permitted to begin
the work at once.
Ten years after this the surveyor
was again at the village Of Cabecera.
and the first question asked him was:
do you not think canal could be
made from here to ProvecueY'
On his informing them that he had
been asked the same question ten years
before and had taken some time and
trouble about the matter, the chairman
replied that on account Of politics, the
death Of his father. etc, the govern
ment letter had probably been over
looked. Search was made, the letter
was found and once more all was ex-
citement. Nothing was talked about
but the canal.
Some years later yet the surveyor
was again at Cabecera. Immediately
on his arrival deputation waited upon
him. do you think canal The
speaker never got any further with
that question.-Youth's Companion.

White of the Boiled Esg Unit TO Eat.
Very few persons can eat the white
of hard boiled egg with any degree
OF comfort. Eggs are highly nutri-
tious and easy Of digestion when light
iy or under cooked. The albumen, the
white Of the egg, coagulates as soon
as 1t Is dropped into hot water. The
long boiling renders the yolk soft and
meaiy. but the white becomes tough
and indigestible and should be dis.
carded.- Ladies' Home Journal
