A Hint to Farmers.

Farmers who have seed to sell,
will do we'll to advertise in the
columns OF the Independent.
Those who wish to buy seed
grain OF any kind will do well to
do likewise. A week or two age
the Independent suggested that
those having chickens or eggs to
sell. should advertise in. this
paper. Several followed our ad-
vice, and one man tells us that
he sold out his lot Of chickens in
very short time. Don't over
look the fact that the Indepen-
dent has nearly 1000 farmer

among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-

favorite household remedy for all

years. August Flower rouses the tor

WiIliston men who went to
Washington, D. G. a short time
AGO to confer with President
Roosevelt regarding the Willis

Minot Thursday, and tells an in
teresting story OF his visit with
she President.
In company with Senator Hans
brough, the four men were usher
ed into the presence OF the chief
executive Of this government.
Roosevelt heard the wishes OF
these men, and at the conclusion
OF the explanation, Senator
Hansbrough walked to the Pre-
sident and laying his hand on
bis shoulder said, snow Mr..
Roosevelt you know what we
want and l want you to bring
this action before the Secretary
at once"
Roosevelt grasped the situa-
ton Immediately, and throwing
his lower jaw down in such way
as to display his famous set OF
teeth to their best advantage,
gave a hearty laugh and said,
ZIP see to it this very day." And

great memory for faces and

his heart for North Dakota.

closely, and glories in her rapid
development.
4 good story is told on an in
Huential rancher from this state
who recently gained audience
with the President in order that
he might recommend some OF his
friends for appointment. Roose-
yelt knew all about the country
from which this fellow came. He
was well acquainted with the
ownerof the Big 1 ranch and ask
ed the rancher about several
people he knew, The rancher was
SO afraid that l1e would know too
much about the men whose ap-
pointment he sought that he
