What The Earth Produces.

The earth has nourished us through I'M
known ages of human existence. Is 1t not
true that the earth supplies us with every
thing that we really require for existence
Have you ever thought that it is probable
that the earth supplies us with the means
TO keep our bodily vigor, our health, if we
only knew it? The animals know by in
stiuCt what is good for them and will search
until they find in some plant what they
need for correcting indigestion or constipa-
ton, etc. Is it, therefore; not possible that
there are roots and herbs supplied by nature
which will cure the diseases that aflLct
human kind That is why DR.. Pierce, of
Buffalo, II. Y, has such faith i'll his MED

in general and active practice, he found
that a combination of certain herbs and
roots made into an Alternative extract, with

the stomach into healthy condition, nour-
ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves
and put healthy tone into the whole
system.
PR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
restores the lost flesh by curing diseases of
the stomach and other organs OF digestion

OPEN AIR CONCERTS.

Editor Alert: I being member OF
the city band several persons have
asked me why the band did not give
open air concerts this year as they
have heretofore. All that can be
said is that the band has not been
sufficiently induced as in years past,
that they have to buy music, in the
winter coal, devote time that it is
not always pleasant to devote and
many other items that all cost money
and that without the money these
things cannot be had. If the citizens
want open air concerts the boys are
wiling co give them providing that
the citizens will look after the item
of money as they have in past years.
1t has been the custom to give the
band for the rendition of such se1-
vices $500 year b last year the
amount fell of 800 and as there has
been no mention of remuneration so
far this year and as the band cannot
continue without money it is pro-
bable that they will not give open
air concerts.

SUIT DISMISSED.

Judge Pond of Minneapolis dismiss
ed the suit Of Mary Fitzgerald
against W. f. and Vernon Dodge. 1t
was damage action in the amount Of
$500 against the Great Northern
road. The Minneapolis Journal says:
"The plaintiff charges that the
defendants, her attorneys in a DAM
age suit against the Great Northern,
misrepresented to her the terms OF a
settlement and gave her but $4,000,
when they should have given her
$4,000. The charge is the one upon
which disbarment proceedings
against the D0dges were based. and
the courts decision is therefore Of
special significance. In giving his
decision Judge Pond stated that's the
cause set up in the complaint was
undoubtedly deceit and that the
action cannot be maintained on the
theory of fraud or deceit -.

SKINNED MILK FOR PIGS.

Since the establishment of so many

possible fact that there will be many
farmers who will have lot of skim.
med milk on their hands it might
not be out of place to note what an
Ashland, man tells of how he made
good gigs out of SKIN milk. He says:
The first day of last June we
bought lot Of young pigs, seven
weeks old. We put them in pen
with board floor, having a small
house attached for shelter, We fed
them nothing except skim milk at a
cost of 25 cents for 45-gallon cask.
When we put them into the pen,
their weight was 25 pounds each.
July their weight was so pounds
each. By August l they weighed 100
pounds each. September l their
weight was $50 pounds each. Octo-
ber l it vas POO pounds each. We did
not weigh them Nov. but they
dressed November 10 at 205 to 2OS
pounds, dressed weight. Up to Oct.
l all these pigs were fed was skim
milk, no grain, but during October
they had c0rnmeal and mixed feed.
We have reached about the sa ne re-
suit in past years with the same
feed.

FOURTH GLASS Pm s.

Stutsman county is probably the
first county in the state to organize
fourth class postmasters association
for the objects that have been pre-
viously stated. There were ten post.
masters present from various parts
of the county. Mrs. VIM. Dwyer of
Medina was elected president, Jas.
Spalding Of Ypsilanti, president,
Frank Kellogg, Windsor, secretary
and treasurer. Geo. Putnam Of
Spring Valley was elected as delegate
to the state convention Wien it
is called. a constitution and by
laws were adopted. Among the post
masters present were Mrs. Chadduck
of Prairie. Postmaster Gerber Of Ger
ber, Odcnbach Of BlOOmenfield.
Vessey OF Eldridge while Paris and
Glare posti1ices were represented.
The objects of the association Of
the fourth class postmas ters is to
equalizc their compensation by get
ting congress to take up the matter
and pass legislation needed. Some
of the 4th class postmasters get near
ly 1000 compensation and others
less than S75 year. The law about
the parcel post is also Objectionable
to the country postmasters who gen
orally keep the Office in store build
lngs and who claim that the parcel
post helps build up the trade of the
metropolitan department stores at
the expense of the country merchant
who is placed at disadvantage
thereby. Also that the settlement
| and building up of rural neighbor-
hoods is more important than the
| feeding of a CITY department store by
aid of the government mails The
organization Of the postmastels of
this class is going on in many states
| and they claim their numbers are
such as to command attention when
congress meets and their plans are
put in definite and systematic shape.

vESSEY's RETURN TRIP.

Glenn Vessey writes to Eldrdge
friends that he has safely arrived in
New York City after long journey
sailing from Manila March 18th on
the United States Flagship Ken
tucky, and has about completed his
trip around the world with the ex-
ception of coming home. The first
stop was made at Hong Kong where
great deal of war news was to be
had. From there they sailed to
Singapore passing thru the street Of
Malacca which separates the Malay
peninsular from Sumatra. The next
stop was at Colon 90 on the island o.
Ceylon off the coast OF India which is
used as coaling station. lie went
on land and saw the famous tea plan
tations and other curious things Of
which he will write later. The next
stop was made at Port Said entering
the r I'd Sea, passing through the
Suez Canal where memory was
brought back to him of the days of
his Sunday School reading over it be-
ing the part where Moses divided
the sea, and let the lsraelites pass.
A fter entering the Mediterranean
straight course was taken for Naples
where several days were spent on
land. Four hours were spent saut-
ing the president Of France and king
OF Italy. Mt. Vesuvuis was plainly
seen from the ship. Vessev also
visited Pompeii f. From Naples they
passed thru the strait of Gibralter,
ana had a fine view Of England's
fortifcations. At Naples Italy seven
teen battle ships were in the Navy
yard. From Gibralter they sailed to
the MADEIRA Island from which a
straight course was taken for New
York City. landing there May 25th,
being a little over two months on
the trip. Glenn writes that he is glad
to get back to the states having been
away from the United States little
over two years. He thinks New
York is far ahead of any foreign city
where he has been, especially. in the
buildings where a great many sky
scrapers are to be seen. While at
Naples Italy Sir Thomas Lipton's
famous yachts were abreast the Ken
lucky, and Sir Thomas came on board
and greeted the admiral. Vessey
may be retained at the Brooklyn
Navy yard for some time but at
present does not know
