distributing point for farm machinery
in the United States. For many years
Fargo has held third place, with Kan
sas City first and Minneapolis second.
Kansas City still holds the premier
place, but the rapid development of
North Dakota in an agricultural way

advanced a notch. The total figures
are given as $G,250,0O0, divided as fol.
lows: S3,G0O,0OO for threshers and ex-
tras: $l,SC0,000 fcl binders ana NOV

BLOCKS ELoPEMENT.

Some excitement was caused al
Courtenay when Charles Reecks came
to town late and announced that Fred
Risler was trying to elope with his
daughter, Rosilla. He says that Refs.
Ter had been stopping at his home the
greater part OF the summer and on
Friday morning he asked Reecks to
take him to Wimbledon, as he wished
to take the train for Superior, Wis.
Reecks said he complied with the re.
quest, but as soon as they arrived at
Wimbledon Reisler engaged a livery
team and drove back to the farm of
a neighbor where the girl had agreed
to meet him, and the two drove to
Courtenay, intending to take the train
east in the evening.
When Weeks was on his way home
from Wimbledon his son met him and
informed him of what had happened.
The father and son then drove back to
Wimbledon, thinking they might find
the couple there's Failing, they came
to Courtenay, and for time there was
something doing about this town.
Reisler was taken into custody, but as
Reecks refused to swear out war.
rant for him he was given his liberty.
The girl was persuaded to return to
her home. Reecks says that the girl

house, when freight charges are count
ed in. II the farmer does not believe
this he should make up a list Of things
that he ordinarily orders Of the cat
alogue house, take it to his town
stores and see what prices they will
make him on the same goods. In just,
ice to himself he should do this.
To Sum Up.
The mail order house is under i'm.
mense expense. Its advertising alone
runs into hundreds Of thousands of
dollars year. It maintains great in
stitutions at high cost. It cannot do
this and legitimately underseu the
country merchant.
In conclusion, let US reiterate that
the home merchants show their GUS
toners the goods before purchase and
willingly make exchanges. The cata,
loeue house don't do that.
The home merchants reputation
and business standing in the com.
munity are back of every sale he
makes. The catalogue house feels no
such responsibility Their misdeeds
in one community do not hurt them in
another. They would rather lose a
customer than a dollar. The home
merchants would rather lose a dollar
than a customer.
The home merchants buy farm
produce, sometimes at loss. The
catalogue house don't.
The home merchant gives credit
when necessary. The catalogue house
insists on spot cash.
The home merchants live amons
their customers, contribute to the up.
building of the town, schools and
churches. The catalogue house spends
its profits elsewhere. The very ma
ture OF its business kills the small
community and builds up the largo
city.
The home merchants can and do
meet all legitimate competition.
The mail order patron owes 1t to
his towns welfare and his own well
| fare to give his merchants chance to
prove the statement before denying
them his patronage.
The catalogue house in it's dealingA
with it's patrons ignores all the fun
damental principles of community well
| fare. Its methods are a trespass on

"skinninq" Stove as Practiced by
Some Supply Houses.


Some seven or eight months ago.
said the president OF prominent
stove company, this house was asked
for price on 100000 stoves by lead.
ing catalogue house. The inquiry
specified several of the leading pat
terms shown in our catalogue and spec
flied that the stoves furnished should,
in appearance, be exactly as shown in
, the catalogue. Such an order don't
come along every week. so went over
all the factory costs, figured mighty
close, and submitted a fiat price Of
$13.65 each. (,
When this price was submitted, I
was told that it was away too high,
that they couldn't touch the line at
any such figure.
Il replied that we couldn't possibly
shade that price cent and didn't care
for the order at less than that figure.
"Thc buyer for the mail order house
told me that he thought a more care.
full estimate would tring a better
price because he said that he had one
of each of these stoves weighed and
light VIC Lad about twenty pounds
of IT,. ecassaiy iron on each one.
Now leave off that twenty pounds
surplus and see what you can do said
he.
Acting on this hint, and realizing
more fully the precise value of the
words lin appearance exactly as shown
in your catalogue" contained in the
inquiry. the price of the stoves was
made to meet the ideas of the mail
order house and the order secured.
These skinned stoves were ship
ped all over the country, being largely
advertised by the mail order people as
one of those phenomenal purchases
of the leading numbers Of a we'll
known makers line. being exactly az

'They were so thoroughly relieved
Of surplus iron that a slight jar in

break leg or fracture some other
part, with a result that the stove com.
pany's losses by breakage in assem-.
bling parts, and the railroads loss
through damage claims left the only
profit in the transaction to the astute
and honest mail order man.

MAY APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT

70 Decide constitutlonality Of PR.
mary Election Law.
Is the primary election law enacted
by the last legislature of the state Of
North Dakota invalid?
This question is the chief topic of
discussion among the members Of the
various political parties as the ap.
preaching campaign draws near, and
will be answered by the state supreme
court If present indications are any
criterion.
The basis for contending that the
law is invalid is set forth in section
II of the primary election law as it
appears on the statues of 1905, as fol.
lows:
"Any citizen, otherwise eligible by
law, affiliating or representing the
principles enumerated in the national
platform of the following parties are
eligible to maintain under this act:
The Republican party, the Democratic
party, or any party designation that
cast 5 per cent of the votes cast for
governor at the last general election,
and 1t shall be unlawful for any per.
son to call for or vote ballot at the
primary election herein provided for
except ballot representing the party
or principle with which he af1iliates;
any any person who has reason to be.
lieve that the ballot called for by the
voter does not represent the party or
principle with which said voter af1li.
ates may challenge such vote, and he
shall not be entitled to cast his ballot
unless he makes and files with the in
spector of such primary election an
affidavit to the effect that such ballot
represents the political party With
which he affiliates."
At the last general election Gov. E
Y. Sarles received 4S,O2S votes, Arthur
Bassett, Socialist, 1,760 votes, and the
Prohibition candidate, H. H. Aaker,
1883 votes. Five per cent of Gov.
Sarles' vote amounted to 2,4O1. This
| leaves the Socialist party GAL votes
below the statutory provision and the
| Prohibition party 1,0G3 Votes behind,
thus disqualifying either party for a
place on the ticket under the primary
election law. This leaves the field
clear to the Republican and Democrat
ic parties Of the state, providing the
law now in force should be held to be
constitutional. The best legal authori-
ties say that the law is unconstitution-
al inasmuch as it operates to dis
franchise two already recognized pc.
litical parties of North Dakota

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-

for time, to do good, but which, from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles of the
blood, are sure to do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable. "Favorite Prescrip.
