ADJUSTMENTS
sHUMAN HEARTS,

Any play hat teaches a great moral
lesson, Is bound to do good to COM
munity. Some of the greatest SER
mons ever preached against evil deeds
and association are embodied in the
plays of the stage. The lesson of life
Is presented to the listener in a way
that makes an impression on the mind
and gives him food for thought. While
the spectator is listening to the text
of the play, his visual sense is being
attracted by seeing the scenes enact
ed before his eyes, that are being de-
scrtbed in the words to which he is
listening.
In such plays as Human Hearts, .
which will be shown at the Metropoli-
tan tonight, the contrast between vir-
tue and vice is sharply drawn. The
author has not minced matters in
drawing his characters, and as the in
cidents of the play are based on real
occurrences, he has not had to draw
upon his Imagination to invent q mo-
tive for Human Hearts, - ~
The characters of Jeanette and
Frederick Armsdale" In .Auman
Hearts" should be carefully studied
by everybody. We meet their proto-
types in daily life, in nearly all large
communities. How often do we see
men and women, who, with all the
advantages of education, comfortable
homes. and the loving care of parents
and friends still 60 <astray, and sink
lower and lower In the social scales,
until they reach the lowest depths of
degradation. We meet them every
day. "a, s3

LEGAL Retailers Declare That No Or.
ganisation Exists IN Restraint Of
Trade Nor for the Maintalnance Of
Prices Not Subject to Investigation

The retail grOcers OF Grand Forks
contend that they are not the legiti-
mate objects OF investigation by a
grand jury. There is no organization
In restraint of trade nor to control
prices, in fact no organization Of any
kind. They compete with each other,
and while It may seem to the public
that high prices are being paid for
their groceries, that it is not alto
Eether the fault of the retailer.
A prominent grocer said to the
Evening Times this afternoon: II
don't know just what the grand Jury
will investigate relative to the gro
GERS; they might investigate enough
to find out how little we are making
on the goods we handle. Did you ever
hear of man getting rich measur-
Ing sugar over a counter or tying up
tea; l never did. 1t is almost con-
elusive evidence that we are not be-
coming billionaires by the number. of
grocers who fail in business Take
the city OF Crookston alone. A dozen
grbcers have failed there since have
beAn in the grocery business. 1t Is
not an exceptional case for man to
SELL groceries all his life and then to
fail at the end.
"The object Of any grocers' associa-
ton organized under the National Re-
tail Grocers association, is not as bad
as the public believes. There is not
more than dozen staple commodities
en- their price cards and they are the
goods on which we make the least
money, such as sugar, tea, coffee, etc.
The bad accounts we get and the small
profits keep US poor, The credit sys-
tenn whereby man cannot beat hut
one grocer is of more value to q
groceryman than any prices which may
be fixed by the association don't
believe that the grand jury would find
anything unlawful in the manner in
which ,the Grand Forks retail grocers
conduct their business IL they were
investigated until domsday." !.

A dispatch from Miles city under
date of the 10th has the following,
which will be of interets to Grand
Forks people who have holdings in
the vicinity of that city. "A party of
Milwaukee engineers, consisting of w.
ID. Hodge, division engineer; w. Nick
erson, field engineer and r. II. Hay
wood. B. A. Anderson, S. r. Donnel-
son, w. E. Brown, George Cole and
William l.. Smith, arrived in town last
night and as soon as their camp
equipage arrives Saturday, will start
out to survey the route. The engin-
GERS throw cold water on the hopes of
Miles City as being in the ultimate
line, as they declare they will take the
most direct, feasible route to Rosebud,
which, it is said, will bring the road
twenty or thirty mics south of here,
striking the Yellowstone thirty miles
west. Their instructions from M. d.
Rhame, the division manager, are to
survey east and south of this place
and one party will proceed to the Box
Elder ON the Custer county line. Real
estate has not responded, however, to

ment that is passed out"
w. II. Kelsey of this city recently
returned from that locality where he
has relatives owning large sheep and
cattle ranches as well as city prop
erty in Miles City.
Mr.. Kelsey reports times booming
out there and is of the opinion that
this report, even if true, will not affect
the prevailing sentiment that Miles
City is to move on in growth and
prosperity. The wool crop, propitious
season for grain and all will act as a
counter irritant to any dissappoint-
ment which may result from the ru-
NOR OF the railroads change of plans.

Of the university will occur on Febru-
airy -, probably in down town build
ing. Just at present the young men
are hard at work on their orations
and a close contest is predicted. The
six men, who have won out in the pre-
liminaries are all experienced orators
and are considered as able contestants

the university. Much is expected of
the winners in the state contest.
There are four literary societies at
the university and each holds free
for-all contest to select an orator to
represent the society in the university
contest. All students are not members
of the societies, so fifth contest is

society orators, constitute the orators
in the final contest.

MADE A GOOD
OWING
Red River Valley Ranks Show Good
Deposits in Localities Where Crop
Of Wheat Was Failure 1000, 900
in Crookston Banks-A ls Per Cent
Dividend.

'Dispite the fact that two years of
crop failure, or at least partial fail
ure, have passed and some portions of
the valley have been experiencing
hard times in consequence, bank de-
posits continue to be up to the normal
and financial institutions seem to be
thriving" These were the words of
G. w. Thornburg, manager for the ]. /.
Case Threshing Machine company,
with headquarters at Crookston. Mr..
Thornberg was in the city last night
on business affairs.
According to him there Is now on
deposit in the four banks of CrOokston,
Mimi, $E000,000, and at recent meet
ing of the First National bank direc-
tors of that city dividend of 1e per
cent was declared and the salary of
the cashier, J.. w. Wheeler, who is we'll
known in this city, raised to $4,000.
CrOOkstOn is situated in a territory
much affected by the crop failure and
1t seems marvellous that dispite the
hard times following two bad years
the city across the Red has held its
own.
Collections on threshing outfits have
been very slow this fall, according to
Mr.. Thornburg. In the country north
of Crookston and as far as Hallock
the farmers had very little grain, If
any, to show for their labor. 1t Is
apparent that they are fast realizing
the virtue of diversified farming, for
in many cases had farmers depended
upon wheat alone this and last year
they would have been in bad shape in
deed. -
Elias STEVENSON of Crookston,
brother of Hon. Halvor STEVENSON of
that city, is practical illustration of
the farmer who believes in diversified
farming. He owns large farm near
Crookston and has erected large
silo upon the premises, yearly putting
in many acres of silage and keeping a
large herd of cows for dairy purposes
as we'll as producing beef for market.
Mr.. Steenerson this year, despite the
poor crops in many places, made his
farm pay and turned off crops of fair
hay, fax and some small grain, as we'll
as realizing well from his dairy and
from the small stock turned off.
"If diversified farming is continued
and expands In the Red river valley
a crop failure of wheat will not have
the Significance it hes had in former
years." said Mr.. Thornburg. to The
Evening Times man after a very pleas
ant visit.

The $50 bet put up by j. S. johnson
the local skater with Joe Isaacs has
not been covered up to this writing
and those who are anxious to see a
race between the fast youngster and
Holcroft, the Bosemont skater are
wondering why, If Holcroft is as fast
as has been claimed, his admirers do
not come to the fore with the cash.
1t is probable that q race will be ar
ranged for johnson with some other
skater and that the same will be pulled
of next week.
Judging from the way that Reed is
having the stauhch Buster worked out
daily, there will be things doing on
the river soon. Both the Reed horse
and Della Downey are being logged
daily and brush recently, on the
side, resulted in a rafting close finish
with honors even. If Della can stay
the route, and her owner winks
knowingly when this question is dis
cussed, she will call on Mixer" and
the rest to do business from the start.
Mixer. If it is the colt formerly owned
by Joe Exert of Crookston, is one of
the gamest little animals in this Sec
ton. The writer has seen him 90
many time and he is as level as an
old campaigner, strong strided and
with plenty of knee action. However,
1t is certainty that he will have his
match in the little mare, Della Dow
ney, for a quarter and that Buster.
If handled right and in shape will
lead the bunch for half. This is
just fair guess from an onlooker
who has seen them all perform.
The river tracks, being scraped to-
day and it is expected that the race
looked for will soon be arranged. 1t
