A man will run as fast as he can to

an exchange. Then he will watch it
until 1t goes out of sight. Then he
will walk leisurely away. He seems
to be all right, and be probably is.

Then she will open. the satchel and

THERE is considerable agitation in
many Of the counties in the state in
favor of county gopher bounty, the
same to apply only in the spring
months. 1t is claimed by many farm
ers that the gophers do dollars worth
of damage to the crops where the
wolves do eents, worth of harm to tiie
stock, and that when you kill wolf
you destroy a beast that feeds to a
great extent on gophers. One would
suppose, from the lean and hungry
appearance Of the wolves late in the
winter, that their chief diet is sun
shine and snowballs.

oREAMERIEs IN THIS STATE.

The creamery industry in North
Dakota, says the Fargo Forum, has.
passed the experimental stage and
become fixed and profitable. There is
scarcely q town in the state without
one that is not making an effort to Sc
cure a plant. The chief influence Of
the creameries lies in the manner in
which they revolutionize business.
Instead of raising all grain and send
fng to Chicago for their oleomargarine,
the farmers In creamery neighbor-
hoods are making many dollars out Of
their COWS and raising wheat'as side
issue. The question of crop failures
has ceased to have its terrors. In
stead of plastering his home with
mortgages, the farmers are now de-
posting their creamery money in the
banks. With it, all the farmers have
the satisfaction OF knowing that the
butter made in thfs state is rated
among the finest III the country, and
cpnniands the highest price In the
New York markets.

STEELE COUNTY ALL RIGHT.

There seems to be growing scnti-
ment, says the Kuhn Messenger, that
our teachers should be better paid
than they have been in the past At
the December meeting Of the school
officers of Steele county the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we favor an increase
in the wages Of teachers, to the end
that our schools may he supplied with
the best teachers, and we recommend
that the wages should not be less than
$35 for third grade, s45 for a second
grade and S55 for a first grade" And
this resolution expressed the judg-
ment Of a body of men of whom most
are members Of school boards, North
Dakota is surely awakening to the
need Of educating its children the
right way.

Many farmers Of Northern Iowa are
in bad shape, says the Edgeley Mail.
They had two consecutive crop fail

AS consequence feed is scarce, the
price high, and stock = especially
horses = thin. A. Stutsman- county
man who recently visited the north
crn part Of the HawReye State re-
ports that two-thirds of the farmers
there who are paying y per cent in
terest would be glad to come to North
Dakota were their financial condition
such that they could get away, and a
good many renters are leaving on
short notice or no notice at all. On
the whole, the situation in this state
is much better than in Iowa.

difficulty with them when stored in

tanned in the spring, and old varieties,
SO very cheaply that like most Of my
bedding plants, leave them out and
reDurchase when needed. The best
plan that can be adopted with those
plants which We desire to keep through
the winter is to bed them out in their
pots. Fuchsias and geraniums and
lantanas and begonias, with a few
salvias, will help us through the winter

The Danger OF Dust.

ono other cause Of illness prevalent
IN hot, dry weather Is dust, and this,
with little attention. might be abat-
ed, The usual practice Of municipal
authorities is still 10 sweep the perfect
ly dry and Gust-laden streets in the
small and early morning hours by
means Of powerful machine brushes,
with the net result that the dust-at
least. its Gner particles-is sent whirl-
Ing into the air only to fall again; the
particles are rearranged, not removed.
The problem has been solved In the
cities Of London, Westminster and
Paris, and perhaps in others, by wash
ing the streets in the early morning
and sweeping them afterward II nee
essary. This insures the removal OF
the dust without playing at the eternal
Sisyphus-like task Of stirring up over
and over again the same dust particles,
sort OF ''scavenger's labor lost" With
regard TO country roads, the plan Of
applying a chemical substance greedy
OF water, such as calcium chloride, to
the roadway has been tried with adj
vantage. 'Westrumite," a cOmbina-
ton containing this substance, has
been used i'm many places with success
so far as bicycles and motors are con-
cerned. The microscopic body abb
serbs moisture from the air, and thus
keeps the roads damp. The question
Of the influence Of such substance on
horses hoofs and on rubber tires has
