GRAIN INSPECTION.
North Dakota Farmers Are for tn.
McCumber Bill Which Is to Be
Reintroduced.

Fargo, n. Dan effort is being
made to create sentiment favorable
to government inspection of grain
The bill was introduced in the last
session of congress by Senator Nc
Cumber, but too late to get it through.
The senator will reintrOduce the bill
at the next session and some Of his
friends are endeavOring to stir up the
farmers on the proposition. They are
fairly we'll convinced that they are
being buncOed in grain grades.
Tests have frequently been made
b. sending parts of a load of wheat
to one elevator and another load from
the same machine to another elevator
and there would be a grade and some
times two in difference The buyers
of the wheat are in Minnesota and
Wisconsin and they fix the grade.
Farmers who grow the wheat have
absolutely nothing to do with the fix
ing either the grade or the price. AS
result the most Of them favor GOV
eminent inspection. Minnesota and
SOnth Dakota farmers will be asked
to assist in the movement.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY.
Take Advantage of Half Price Offer Made
by C. A Sexton.

In these times when living expenses
have increased from thirty to fifty per
cent, it is unusual to hear Of standard
remedy being offered at half price.
Yet that is the way q. A Sexton the
popular druggist is selling Dr. Howard's
celebrated specific for the cnre of dys-
pepsia and constipation. In addition to
selling fifty cent bottle, containing
months treatment of sixty doses, for %
cents, he gives his personal guarantee
with every bottle he sells to refund the
money il it does not give satisfaction.
This unusual offer has brought hum
dreds of customers to his store in the
last few weeks, yet out of the many bot
ties of DR.. Howard's S specific he has sold,
but one customer has asked to have the
money returned. This was done with
out any questions, although Q. A. Sexton
does not think the remedy could have
been given fair trial.
Doctors bills can be saved by the use
of Dr. Howard's specific for the cure of
dyspepsia and constipation, and by TAX
ing advantage of this special half price
Introductory offer, our readers can save
half the regular price of the specific.
Do not let this opportunity pass to OBJ
tain standard fifty cent remedy at half
price. Remember that druggist G. A.
Sexton will refund your money if DIR.
Howard's specific does not cure.
