U AT HOME.

Buy at home. This is sound adj
vice. In doing SO you have many
advantages. You can see the goods
you buy. If they are not right,
the dealer will make them right
without expense to you. The dealer
has stood by you through hara
times, perhaps he has carried your
accounts over a season when you
were short on crops or on prices.
If you have a little money, don't
send it off to some cheap John cat
alogue house and buy goods "sight
unseen" Spend it at home and
keep it in circulation about you,
and it cost no more in the end than
to send away to buy cheap goods
at cheap prices. The dealers are
not swine, they don't want the earth.
They aim to keep an up-to-date
goods; he pays the freight. asks a
reasonable profit, and there you are;
goods at your hand, the dealer to
fall back upon and return the goods
if not entirely satisfied and repairs
easy to obtain. The catalog houses
may not be an entirely unmitigated
evil, but their offers are very de-

Local Live Stock Conditions.

Cattle on the ranges are said
to be in good condition. A large
number will be shipped from this
vicinity this fall to eastern mar
kets, and a large sun of money
will be brought into the county
from that source. The cattle in
dustry on the Missouri slope is
becoming larger each year and as
it grows the country adds much to
it's prosperity. The territory adj
jacent to Washburn is one that is
adapted to the raising of stock. It
is surprising the amount of grass
that is allowed to go to waste year
after year in this county which
could be made into a good many
dollars-and would beat the new
discovery, the turning of silver in
to gold.

WILL SHOW LARGE INCREASE

BEMARCK TR1BUNE:-The total
valuation Of property in the state
will show a large increase over the
figures Of last year. Railroad val
uation has been increased about
two millions, and real estate has
been increased nearly seven mil
lions owe the figures as equalized
by the state board last year. The
real estate equalization was com
pleted by the state board at noon
and the following figures r taken
from the uncompleted returns.
Total valuation as returned by
the county board, $3.50, S64, 1914.
Total valuation as equalized by
state board, S91, 247.235.
Increase over county returns.
S4,3S5,34l.
Increase over returns as equalized
by state board last fall, $6,S54, 444.
The increases made by the state
board were as follows: In lands ex-
elusive Of structures, $3,867, 200.
In town and city lots, $70,176. In
structures on lots, 1922, O94. Struct-
ures on lands were decreased $41, 1874.
The average value of land as equal.
lied is 1924.
The average value Of land in un-
organized counties is raised from
IS to So cents, and the valuation is
increased from 1864, 874 to $685. 29.
The board is working on personal
property and will probably not COM
plete the equalization until next
week.

Want Us at Bismarck.

Misunderstanding theW Wash
burn baseball team would like to
play a really good team a game of
ball. Bismarck is in a position
just now to administer a nice line
of punishment to the boys up the
creek. 1t would be even money
that the boys would be shut out"
Washburn plays ball for sport, not
for graft, and at any time that the
Bismarck aggregation sees fit to
come to Washburn, they'll be given
a warm reception. Until such a
time, there will be no game be-
tween Washburn and Bismarck.
More than half Of Bismarck and
all OF its newspapers are up in arms
just because the Dickinson baseball
special stopped at Mandan for dim
ner instead of going direct to Bis
marck as had been arranged for
them by some enterprising Bis
marcker. There was no dissatis-
faction among the Dickinson peo-
pie on account Of the arrangement
but it appears that the excursion
lists spent some money in Mandan
that Bismarck had counted on get
ton. Uncompromising grafters
those Bismarckers.

When you get a catalogue from
a big mail order house, just look
it over and see what they will pay
you for your produce; also investi-
gate and see what their terms of
credit are in case you do not have
the ready cash; how much they
will give towards the keeping up
Of the sidewalks; just write them
and ask how much they will give
towards the erection Of a church;
how much they will give to assist
the poor. After you have done this

and there was said to be alarm for
his safety, but The LEADER last
week said he passed through Wash
burn on his way to the Ft. Steven

by Billum Hogue and Joe Patter-

all right, "but nothing's been seen

right. "
