WANTED CHECK CASHED.
CRATER Selected the 'Threshing Nh.

chine Agents as Easy Victims.
Fargo, Aug. 81 am thinking
about buying threshing machine"
If there is one thing that will make
threshing machine agent sit up and
pay attention It is this statement
from a man who looks anything like
farmer.
During the past week there has
been a fellow making the rounds of
the threshing machine Offices in the
city who has no sooner introduced
himself than he has given out the
information that he is in the market
for machine.
Invariably the fellow has asserted
that he has been debating in his mind
the aivisability of buying the machine
sold in the place he is then in or
another machine sold up the street a
ways. An in conclusion the fellow
has asked to have check for $500
cashed. Failing in getting the check
cashed, the would-be customer has in
variably asked for the loan of dollar.
Gust to carry me over until I can
get this check cashed." he has plaus-
IDLY explained.
That several threshing machine
agents have been caught on the loan
proposition is a we'll known fact, but
it is not believed that any of them
have "bitten" on the check PROPOSE

good care of herself in almost every
imaginable situation. She has been
given a sound education and brought
up to be thoroughly conversant with
the difference between right and
wrong. Her morals are as sound as
her body.
She is generally used to the society
of the opposite sex, from earliest
childhood. 1t isn't the modern GUS
tom to shut away ones daughters.
with their brothers, and their BROTH
ers' friends. They early learn the
secret Of comradeship.
Naturally girl slips more and
more into an Independent frame of
mind. She knows that her relations
with her men friends are perfectly
open and above board. Then why
should she be saddled with chaper-
one?
In the majority of cases, such as
driving, sailing, motoring, theatre
goin, ETC., the chaperone is entirely
unnecessary. If the girl is reliable,
she assuredly will conduct herself as
carefully as though an older person
was present.
But there are many little parties in
which it is best to include some older
person who is qualified to give SUBJ
stantial aid, should need arise Often
iilemmas occur which could be avoid
ed. If there happened to be a man or
woman present OF greater age and eX-
perience.-
Every sensible young girl will
realize that though we sheer at re-
striction and proprieties We are bound
to observe them. if We wish the world
to go round decently.
Parents, the answer lies with you.
Teach your girls and boys to be hon
est and Trustworthy. If your son is
decent manly chap no mother need
be afraid to trust her daughter with
him, unchaperoned. II your girl is
sweet-minded, steady going, clear
eyed you can let her go nearly every
where with no other monitor than her
own sense of what's right.

Heyl Divorce Rumors are Met With
Evasion.

Milwaukee. Aug. 31.-Mrs. Jacob
Heyl, central figure in the recent
100000 Schandein will case has ar
rived in Milwaukee from Berlin, Ger
many, accompanied by her two sons,
her attorney, E. L. Frisbie of Buffalo.
Mrs Frisbie. Miss Joanna Schulz and
a servant. The party was met at the
train by Frederick Best and taken in
his automobile to the Hotel Pfister,
where rooms had been reserved for
them. Mrs. Heyl retired at once to
her room and refused to see inter-
viewers.
Mr.. Frisbie did the talking for the
party. He said in answer to questions
that Mrs. Heyl had given up her tenn
porary residence in Berlin and re-
turned to her old home in Milwaukee.
When asked the direct question
whether Mrs. Heyl was seeking a
divorce. Mr.. Frisbie gave an evasic re-
ply. He said, however. that Mrs. Heyl
had never given up her legal residence
in Milwaukee.
When asked as to the whereabouts
of Jacob Heyl, Mr.. Frisbie said that
he believed he was in Germany. either
at Berlin or at Landsthul. his mothers
attorney would not say.
That Mrs. Heyl is to live here is, in
the eyes Of her friends. very potent
reason for expecting separation, as
it is we'll understood that after the
revelations of the will contest and the
reception Mr.. Heyl received from old
friends, Milwaukee would not be a
pleasant place of residence for him:
while Mrs. Heyl will be received with
affection.
The will CT the late William Becker,
who committed suicide while on
visit to Mobile last April, is to be
contested by his widow on the ground
that it was not duly executed and fur
Their that her husband was not of
sound mind when the will was made.
Under the will Mrs. Becker received
an annuity of $4,000 and the home
stead with it's furniture and personal
effects. which is said to be worth about
$4,000. The income from much other
property was left to various relatives
The estate is about 100000.

CIGARETTES FOR WOMEN.
Will Prevent Heart Disease In Teu
Drinkers, Cleveland Doctor

Cleveland, Aug. 30.-Dr. Martin
Friedrich. health officer of Cleveland,
advises the women of the smart set to
smoke cigaretts If they would preserve
their compilations and escape heart
disease.
Tea, of which society women are so
fond, causes heart disease, he says. be-
cause it stimulates the heart without
feeding it. Nicotine is required to
counterfeit the effect of the beverage.
The doctor has declared war on the
pink tea and green luncheon. He says
there are two kinds of compilations
here, natural and premeditated.
81 care not for the latter" he said.
81 presume the owners will look out
for that. 1t is the former which may
be ruined"
Friedrich believes that Cleveland's
bon ton belongs to the former class
and seldom separates itself from its
complexion, so he proposes to make an

His grief is heartrending and shows
no sign of being less acute today than
the day his wife died suddenly, near
ly month ago. He has abandoned
business completely. having left all his
vast interests on "the street" to his
private secretary, Edward F. Nc
Sweeeny, and all attempts to in
duce him to resume his activities are
failures.

ton. Mr.. Lawson had the body taken
to Dreamwold and there placed in the
living-room of the little English cot
tage on the grounds which Mrs. Law
son had named "The Nest" There it
remains. Mr.. Lawson refusing to per-
init its burial. All his daughters are
with him, and his son, Arnold. is also
at Dreamwold. Scarcely any others
are permitted within the grounds.
Mr.. McSweeney tonight said: "Mr.
Lawson has received tremendous
shock in the death of his wife. as she
was for so long time and in so great
measure the principal part of his
life.
Naturally 1t will take him some
time to recover from such blow and
to adjust himself to new conditions.
but the stories that he will never be
back at his work are absurd. Within
month or six weeks he ought to be
back at his desk"
Mr.. McSweeney did not attempt to
deny that his employer since the death
had abandoned himself wholly to his
grief.

Colors Again in Esteem.

Though stiff in favor, white is some
what less worn than for several
years past, and colors seem to be re-
gaining the place in popular esteem
they held formerly. Vilet and mauve
are especial favorites. The other day

of the palest pink mauve gauze, with
bands of venetian lace alternating
with groups of plaits. Over this was
lovely boa of mauve poppy petals,
while broad mauve hat cast shade
over the eyes and supported two
sweeping violet feathers.

Preparing Greens.

Unless green's are washed just right
enough grit remains among the leaves
to make eating them somewhat un-
pleasant, but it is very easy to pre-
vent this. First cut off the roots, let
ting the leaves fall quite apart Then
put them in pan of water and rinse
thoroughly but do not pour off the wa
ter. Lift out the greens, empty the
pan, making sure that no dirt remains
at the bottom; then fill the pan again
with water, put in the green's and re-
peat three or four times. This sounds
trifle complicated, perhaps, but it is
not, and the result is surprising and
delightful.

around Ashley creek are being washed
into Sank lake and in such large por-
tons that the vegetation and the trees
have not been disturbed. About four
feet of earth still clings about the
roots.
These floating islands came down
the lake in three sections, each con-
tanning between two and three acres,
and came with such force that the
boom logs and chains were broken.
About thousand persons gathered
in the park to see the uncanny sight of
the old Ashley picnic grounds coming
into town. While this occasions no
alarm it will be great expense to the

Of Interest to Women
Some Things Worth knowing.

Do not put salt into the water in
which corn is boiled. 1t hardens the
corn.
When putting away tea ana coffee
pots the lids must be left open to pre-
vent mustiness.
When there is no mucilage in the
house, try the white of an egg. You
will find it a good substitute.
In flavoring the cake or pudding, use
the grated rind of an orange. It gives
much better flavor than the juice.
II your face is badly sunburnt, battle
it in as hot water as you can stand,
then apply buttermilk or sour cream.
This will relieve the burning and pre-
vent the skin from peeling.
If you wish to keep the rugs or car
pet in good condition, always push
the carpet sweeper in the same direc-
ton as the warp of the rug or car
pet.
Flies gather on the screen door
ready to come in when the door is
opened. A way to keep them off is to
cut wide piece of manila paper into
narrow strips or fringe, leaving
space at the top to tack to the door.
A light breeze will keep the fringe
in motion and, scare away the flies, or
if there is no breeze, the opening of
the door sets it in motion.
Picnic Hints.
The lunch for a picnic should be
abundant in variety and dainty.
Each sandwich should be wrapped
separately in waxed paper and packed
in pasteboard boxes and each variety
kept in a box by itself.
The cake should be baked in sheets,
cut into squares, iced with different
favored icmgs, wrapped in waxed pa
per and packed in pasteboard box.
Chicken and all cold meats should
be kept whole and not carved or sliced
before packing.
All fruits should be firm, never over
ripe, and we'll cleaned before putting
into the basket.
The lemon juice should be squeezed
out at home and bottled; and don't for
get supply of powdered sugar.
Cold coffee, tea, milk and grape juice
can be bottled, put into pals and sur
rounded by ice wrapped in clean, hea-
Wy. bags.
If hot coffee is desired small al
cohol lamp can be slipped into the bas-
ket.
Don't forget to put in plenty of
relishes, such as pickles, olives, rad
ishes and spiced fruits, as they, are es-
pecially enjoyed at picnic.
Don't forget the salt.
