railroad and +. f, Ward and w. w.
Roughton, general manager and general
freight agent respectively of the same
road passed through the city on an
automobile trip 10 North Dakota
points While here they confided to
Aberdeen business and professional
men their intention of building AN eX
tension OF their road from Aberdeen to
Fierre While the Great Northern has
taken no active part in the capital fight,
i, has been understood in some quar-
ters that the extension which has been
long contemplated, depended materially
upon whether or not Pierre succeeded
in retaining the capital. The fact that
the majority for Pierre was SO de
cisiva and that hnth Huron and Red
field capital aspirants afo.etime. have
both declared by their votes in favor
of retaining the capital permanently at
its present location, has determined the
Great Northern managers upon build
ing the extension soon.

Dear Sir: The way to reckon th,

together: the cost of the paint and the
the cost of putting 1t on.
1t would save this country hundreds
OF millions OF dollars a year; it would
save you alone (if you happen to be

See how it works. II costs a. much
to put-on one paint as another, don't
it?
Yes, II you use the same number Of
gallons
Well, dontI?
No you'll use twice as many gallons
OF sdulterated paint az of Deyoe: and
you've got to pay twice as much for
putting it On.

result he drives fat mules, has lots of
milk, butter and eggs. He says it is
wonderful that such changes can be
