FERGUS COUNTY ARGUS. JULY 6. 1905.

At the time of the San Francisco
earthquake the citizens Of Minneapo.
lis contributed $4,000 sacks of dour
to relieve the suffering there. 1t seems
that the relief committee was over
supplied with flour and they are now
selling it at q reduced price from mar
ket rates and applying the cash in Ne.
moving distress. The Minneapolis mil
lers are protesting against this &C.
ton as injurious to their business in
supplying the wants of consumers.
There may be something in their con-
tention, but if there is more flour on
hand than is needed ii would seem
the part of wisdom to convert it into
cash in order that the money may be
used for more pressing needs. Not on
ly Minneapolis but other cities sent
flour. hence the large accumulation.
If there is no necessity for giving it
away why shouldn't the relief society
realize something from it?

The Thaw's promise to reveal some.
thing of startling nature when the
principal in the recent New York trag-
edy is brought to trial Nothing that
emanates from the fast set in New
York should surprise the country.
Young Thaw is a wealthy rake who
has been going at rapid, pace in the
effort to get rid of the millions left
him by his father When he became
smtten with Miss Nesbit, the Floro-
dora girl, he took chance of her hav-
ing other admirers. White, the victim
of Thaw's jealousy and rage, may have
his terrible fate, but this would
hardly put the former in the hero class.
They were all a hard lot in all prob
ability. and the public should nor be
shocked at any revelations the trial
may bring forth.

The Northwestern Stockman and
Farmer says: Before you think of
building creamery be sure you have
800 cows. Don't count all the COWS in
the neighborhood, either, but simply
those that are actually being MIXED"
The advice comes too late to Dillon.
The stockholders in the Dillon cream
cry would probably add to this advice
that, to be on the safe side, better
not count on more than half the 300
COWS being actually MIXED. either.
We've had experience over this way.

Evidently the business men of Dill

Although Mr.. Bryan was a poor man
when he first ran for the presidency in
1896, he has improved his time in the
past ten years in accommodating lit
tie fortune out of his lecture engage
ments and good investments. Accord
ing to the report that comes from
Lincoln. Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan's wealth
in his suburban holdings is more than
100000 while in the business portion
OF the city he has $4,000 worth of
property, according to the assessor.
Upon this he will pay about $500 tax
es. This assessment is an increase
over that of last year and is repres-
ented in large part by his real es-

For the pub1ic.s information.

1t would be a good idea for every
town, village and hamlet along the
line of any railroad to put up Il sign
or two somewhere in proximity to the
railroad station setting forth the name
Of the town and whatever claim it
has for historic, residential and indus
trial interest, says -Four Track News.
Travellers often wonder when Il train
comes to a stop what the town is that
spreads out before them and wherein
lies its excuse for being. True, the
railroads are doing 4 great deal to en-
plot and advertise the attractions,
scenic and commercial, Of most Of the
more important places, but it wouldn't
be an altogether bad idea for the
towns to do Il little something them
selves, If only to set up a bulletin OF
facts for the enlightenment of the pass
inC traveller.

German Care of Landscapes.

Most German states have laws to
prevent the Disagreement Of landscapes
by advertisements. The district au-
thorities, like our county boards, are
authorized to determine what land
scapes, buildings OF monuments Of a
historical or artistic value should be
protected, says the New York World.
Violations of the statute are made pun
ishable by fine, with or without i'm
prisonment. The statute provides
against the display Of pictures, adver-
tisements OF other things calculated to
mar or disfgure any especially attrac-
tive landscape or detract from the
artistic OF aesthetic effect Of any build
ing OF other structure of special i'm
portance OF be highly prejudicial to any
street OF part of a town. The altera-
ton of buildings Of historical or arts
tic value may be prohibited by the
local authorities, as may the construc-
ton of other buildings calculated to in
terfere with such historical monu-
mentS.

FOR H CHILDREN
hlastcrs and Men.

70 play masters and men sides are
chosen with an equal number of play
ers on each side, one side being men
and the otlasr masters. The object of
the play is to remain men as long as
possible and to keep the masters out Of
work. The men so outside the door
n choose among themselves some
trade in which the arms, legs or hands
are used. Then they go inside the room
and range themselves in a line before
the masters, and the leader, or fore
man, tells the masters the first and
last letters Of the trade chosen, such as
A-Y for apothecary, CIR for carpenter,
and so on.
He then turns to the mcn and says:
"Now,smy men, the works begun;
No more talking till it's done"
Immediately the men begin to show
by gestures the movements peculiar to
the working of the trade selected, such
as hammering for q blacksmith, saw
ing and planning for a carpenter. After
/ minute or two Of this the foreman
shouts, "Stop, my men, and demand
your wages" Each master in turn has
one guess at the trade the men are
supposed to be working at. Should
they not guess right the men SO out
again and choose another trade, and
so the game goes On. The gam ends
when the masters guess right. and they
must they take the places Of the men.

IMPROVEMENT CLUBS WORN
What ii Somerville CMnss.) Assoc1a-
ton Has Done.

"hat IL SOmerVlile (MnSs.) AssOc1a-
ton Has Done.
The third annual banquet of the Win
ter Hill Improvement association, one
OF the thriving organizations of Somer-
Vile, Mass, with aims and purposes
for the betterment Of the conditions in
that section in which it is located, was
recently held in Somerville, says the
Boston Globe.
A short business meeting was first
on the programme, after which the Of
fcers elect We're installed. These ex-
ercises were followed by an address,
and the banquet was the last feature
Of the evening.
The report Of the secretary, Mrs. A.
NJ. Smith, who has held the office eyer
since the association was formed three
years ago, was full of interest to the
members. In it she reviewed the his
tory Of the body and complimcnted the
members on the proportion of improve
ments they had succeeded in obtaining
out of the number desired.
Speaking of the membership, she said
the roll contained 11S names, 81 Of
which We're those of mon and 81 wom-
en-. Outside the list the meetings had
been attended by a number who had
given the work of the association their
support.
Mrs. Smith commented on the fact
that a postofice in Gilman square,
named the Winter Hill station, had
been secured through the efforts of the
association, and a hook and ladder
truck had also been obtained for the
better protection of the homes of the
section. The menu card Of the banquet
was adorned with cuts of both i'm
provements.
An innovation during the year Will
be introduced by the organization, con-
corning which Mrs. Smith said: "The
association has made arrangements to
offer in the early spring cash prizes, to
be competed for by residents of Winter
Hill and vicinity, for the best kept
premises, including the condition of
front and back yards, the houses
fences and street in front of the house
Any one who keeps a gardener will
not be eligible for the contest"

Street Names In Mexico.

AS so many of the Indians cannot
read the streets in Mexico are named
after birds OF beasts. The name of the
street appears in Spanish letters, but
this is followed by the figure of the
creature after which the street is
named. For instance, Ok street is in
dicated by q figure of an OK in plaster
or painted on a wall. The street of
Flamingo presents the tall famingo
with back Of fiery red, and Elephant
street has a we'll nodded figure Of that
animal with enormous tusks and trunk.
This custom is a very useful one, for
the youngest child can thus find its
way home. Even the sheep of little Bo-
Beep might have saved their mistress
an endless amount Of worry had this
custom Of naming the streets been the
fashion in Mother Goose land, as it is
in Mexico.

BENEFITS IN GOOD ROADS,.
Suggestions For Rural Communities
to Obtain Them.

to obtain Them.
Organize good road clubs. Get every
association Of business men, farmers,
every newspaper, to push along the
good roads movement. There are few
other things more important to the peo-
pie of agricultural communities and
rural towns than the good roads prop
%osition, says D. M. Carr in Home Trade
Advocate. 1t is something that every
good citizen should be interested in.
1t is a question Of the greatest elements
Of economy. Good roads throughout
the farming districts Of the country
mean millions upon millions Of dol
lars yearly saved to the farmers. They
mean millions more in benefits to the
rural towns. Every citizen should ap-
point himself a committee Of one to
work for the end to be attained by the
cooperation Of the national with state
governments in the road improvement
matter.
Don't be afraid to write to your men,
Der Of congress-, individually and col
lectively, and urge his support of the
proposed measure for governmental ap.
preparation for the needed improve
ment. Talk good roads to your neigh
Dor, join the people Of your town in
booming local improvement and urge
your representative in the state legis-
lature to give support to any legislation
that has for it's aim better roads for
the farming districts.

The Century Plant.

There is a widespread belief that the
so called century plant got that name
from the fact that it blooms only once
In q hundred years. The belief Is err
roneous, for in tropical countries the
plant natures in about ten years,
when it bears a crown Of greenish
yellow flowers, which last two or three
months. The plant then dies down
to the root, but new shoots come up,
and thus the plant lives on. The hun
dred year notion grew out Of the long
time it takes the plant to mature IN
colder ATTITUDES, sometimes a period OF
seventy years. A liberal construction
OF the conditions, therefore, would war
rant the use of the name century,
for in growth Of a plant seventy years
seem a hundred.

"Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and myself
contracted severe colds which speedily
developed into the worst kind of la

says Mr.. J. S. Egleston of Maple Land
ing, Iowa. "Knees and joints aching,
muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and

chills and fever. We began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, aiding
the same with a double dose of Cham

Rheumatism Makes Life Miserable.

A happy home is the most valuable
possession that is within the reach of
mankind, but you cannot enjoy its COM
forts if you are suffering from rheuma-

when you enter your home and you can
be relieved from those rheumatic pains
also by applying Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. One application will give you re-
lief and its continued use for a short
time will bring about a permanent cure.

Tremble. Like on Aspen.

Why does the aspen leaf tremble?
There is an old legend that it trembles
for shame because the cross on which
Christ was crucifed was made Of that
wood, but Of course that is only fanci-
full. The trembling is due to a per
fectly natural cause. The leaf is broad,
and the stalk that supports it is long
and flexible. The upper part of the
stalk is fiat, and as the leaf hangs ut
right angles with it the least breath of
air will make it tremble.

Ell and lie.

The best spoilers are often puzzled
by the combination Of the letters Ell OF
lie. They wish to write a word IN
which the combination occurs, and
they cannot remember whether the e
or the i comes first. But there IS q
very simple rule that may be relied
upon to remove all doubt. Eli should
follow the consonants c and S, as in
receive, seize, ETC., and lie should fol
low all other consonants, as in thief
belief, etc. There are two exceptions
however, that should be borne in mind
the words sieve and siege.
