from II. Kings 1928: "And will wipe
Jerusalem as man wipeth a dish,
wiping 1t and turning it upside down."
1t is needless to say that he is doing
his occasional stunt.
The Misses Nellie and Lena Jordahl
and Fannie King, all of Lake Park,
Mimi, were drowned in Cormorant
lake Wednesday. The three girls with
several others were on a raft which
drifted into deep water and sank. They
were sisters of M. Jordahl of Devils
Lake.
That red clover can be profusely

Two barns belonging to Bazille De-
marse, of Carlisle, were set on fire,
supposedly by the sparks from a pipe,
and were burned to the ground. The
stock was saved but all the harness
and some farm machinery went up in
smoke.
Marvin Penrod, a farmer living near
Eckman, was shot in the leg by
neighbor. Chas. Shemenski in a dis
pute over some hay which the former
was cutting on the latter's place. It
was at first feared that the wounded
man would lose the limb but later re-
ports state that he is getting along
nicely.

Cat a Building Inspector.

In the New York Life building there
is remarkable cat. says the New
York Press. 1t Is not political cat
and has no association with the yell
low dog. 1t is just cat which cares
nothing about politics nor insurance
law making, and does not know the
difference between deferred dividend
and fiat rate. At least so it may be
inferred, for. like other persons of
prominence in the same building it
does not tell what it knows.
This cat is a tom. It is partial to
elevators. of which there are ten in
the building. and what this particular
cat does not know about the ups and
downs of life in this great building is
not otherwise recorded. Usually It
lives in the basement-that is. it
spends its nights there: but it's day
existence is spent in continuous in
spection of the elevators.
About 9 or 10 o'clock this extra
ordinary cat appears on the ground

A SUSPENSION.

Associated Press to The Evening Times
New York, Aug. 24.-The suspension
of the firm of Franklin & Billion, men,
bers of the consolidated stock ex-
change, was announced today. The
inability of the firm to collect addi-
tional margins from customers after
the upward movement of the market
last week is reported to be the cause
of suspension. A member of the firm
today estimated the liabilities at $780,
900 and the assets from 100000 to $4O,-
900. He said the firm hopes to COM
promise with its creditors and resume
operations.

RoRBING THE FARNIER.

The day of selling gold bricks to farm
ers is past. The average farmer is far
too intelligent-and suspicious-tO bite
on a gold brick scheme nowadays. He
reads the daily paper and he knows
better so the gold brick artist seeks
Wall street and catches the financiers.
But there are other ways of robbing
the farmer than with the old-time and
it might be design ated-threadbare gold
brick A writer in Tom Watson's Mag
azine. in discussing these, tells of some
of the compounds that are sold t. the
farmer to feed his stock. Some of these
foods contain some medicines which are
beneficial to stock in certain conditions.
but the prices charged for them are RI
diculously high; considering their cost.
Here is a sample. as given by this wri-
ter:
THE variations in the prices of con-
dimental compounds follow no known
law except that, familiar to captains
of industry, of exacting all the traffic
will bear Thus a horse and cattle
powder containing wheat, oats, sui
phur Saltpeter and EPSON salt retails
at 1868 cents a pound, which is precise
~ SS16.75 a ton. The farmer knows the
price of wheat. but he does not know
the mysterious drugs in the wonder
working food, nor their cost. If he did,
the horse medicine mans occupation
would be gone Mystery always has
been the medicine mans strong card.
The farmer knows that wheat feed re-
tails at $1.20 per hundred pounds. He
ought to be told that sulphur is quoted
by drug trade papers at 2 cents and I'M
der a pound. saltpeter at cents and
less. and EPSON salt from to 1.3 cents
a pound. Less than per cent of this
horse and cattle powder consisted of
these inexpensive drugs, yet for this
insignificant addition, at the most rep
resenting an outlay of two or three
dollar a ton, the price is raised $3.50. rs. -
