him back. but his return wasn't much

in the weeds and moan and sing the In

Wires In Wrong Terminals.
A large number of the worlds great

nature of which the person who start

long distances apart when properly
connected was discovered by accident.
A scientific journal says: "Soon alter

Odd as it may sound to say so, the
lobster grows before, not after, he
casts his old hard shell-that Is to say,
he makes new cells and tissues, which
are not at once filled cut, but which
are intended to swell to their full di-

The SeIIs-FIoto Shows.

Wednesday was great day for circus
goers, and most people want to see a
show when they get chance.
The Sells-F Lotto Shows came from the
west and were unloading their "a circus
cars at an early hour. 1t required 700
feet of the Northern Pacific right of way
in the western portion of the city to ae-
commodate the great tents of this circus.
Good crowds attended both morning
and evening and the people seemed well
pleased. The animals showed that they
had been we'll kept, and the performing
ones did their parts we'll. The entire
show seemed to be free of crooked char
a good deal for q circus. If ali shows
were as free of Objectionable features as
this one they would have a better pat
ronage as people naturally enjoy getting
out once in awhile to laugh with the
clowns and see the elephants.

N ORTIZ CAROLINA
EDITOR
Visits Dickinson on His
Tour Of the Northwest.
Says San francisco Re.
lief Funds Are Being
Wasted,

A. Roscower, editor of the Goldsboro,
North Carolina, Headlight, well-known
southern writer, who carries letters of
recommendation from Gov. r. B. Glenn
of that state, U. S. Senator Simmons and
many other prominent persons, was
visitor in Dickinson last Saturday.
Mr.. Roscower is preparing series of
syndicate letters, for 100 papers, on edu-
cational, industrial and agricultural inter-
ests Of the western section of the United
States, Canada and Mexico. He has
travelled over 1900 miles and will round
out 1900 miles by the 10th of August
when he is due home.
From Dickinson, Mr.. Roscower went
to Bismarck, where he was entertained
by the Commercial club of that city, the
same as he had been in Helena and other
Montana cities the previous week. From
the capital city he went to Winnipeg
and thence to the Alberta country.
In Mexico and Colorado Mr.. Roscower
found it very warm. He was charmed
with the scenery of Los Angeles, where
he was entertained for several days. At
San Francisco he was disappointed.
"The half has never been told" he says.
The streets are full of debris and very
little has been done toward the recon-
struction of the ruined city, and it is Mr..
Roscower's opinion that the Golden Gate
City never will be rebuilt to any such ex-
tent as before the earthquake disaster.
Many shocks have been felt during the
past month or two, and capitalists are
timid about reinvesting their funds there.
Of the distribution Of the earthquake
fund, Mr.. Roscower says: "The manner
in which relief funds are being dissi-
pated in San Francisco under the aus
pices of the Red Cross society is a sin
and a shame. 1t is case of graft, pure
and simple.
81 went right into the camps and ate
the meals which are furnished sufferers
They are feeding about 10000 persons
daily, and a Los Angeles man has the
contract. The meals cost the society
15c. each, but doubt if they are worth
&C.. The right class of people is not
being reached in this manner either. In
fact, the class receiving the food consists
principally of 'bums,' or those who dc
not want to work. The Red Cross is
hiring more walters in the camps than
are necessary, and at $3.50 per day.
"North Carolina sent $4,000 to the
Red Cross society and l am reporting
the true situation to Gov. Glenn. We
have $4,000 more to 20, but l venture
the statement that it will not fall into the
hands of the Red Cross society. shall
urge the governor to send some respon
sible person there with it for proper dis
tribution."
Mr.. Roscower was pleased with Dick
inson and said that he hoped to visit the
city again within year or two.

take their chances along the same lines.
We must have issues as we'll as men to
solve them. The main interests at stake
in this section of the country are the
interests of the farmers in declining
wheat prices, which have declined not
only from bountiful crops but from the
leak in the tariff permitting free wheat
from Canada to go to Minneapolis mills
for manufacture and export. On the
other hand, sheep are high and wool is
strong and further strengthened by a
recent decision of the supreme court
against the importers who sought to
monkey with the wool tariff as the Min
neapolis millers monkeyed with the
wheat tariff. The man who can give
time and energy to organizing the farm
ers to secure court decision reversing
Secretary Shaw's ruling on the Canadian
wheat tariff is coming man in North
Dakota.
Hence, if primary elections would re-
suit in able men individually stumping
the state along educational lines in this
direction, much good might be accom-
plished. ..
The recent primary election has
demonstrated throughout the state that
the people of North Dakota act intelli-
gently, and the leader who is afraid to
trust them has foundations resting on
shifting sand.
This is the lesson taught by the James
town convention, according to my YER
sion. If the people really want primary
election for state and other officers and
know they want it, they are going to get
what they want
In that event the jamestown conven.
ton will stand as the final one.

after their removal from their house
in the suburbs, which was the only
home the children had ever known,
to the top floor Of seventh
story apartment house, the fam
lily gathered around the piano for the
usual hour of song, each member in
turn, according to time honored custom,
requesting hymn Of his choice. When
ten-year-old Marjory's turn came she

hymn is:

Than ever I've been before.

Fine Art In Show Windows.

It is q common error for dealers to
put too many shoes in their window.
In fact, some windows would lend the
impression that the stock was in the
window and the samples on the shelves.
Said a shoe manufacturer who has
travelled extensively: zone of the most
impressive windows I ever saw con-
tained but one shoe in each window.
Each was fine shoe, mounted on q
standard in the center of the window.
From this shoe red and white ribbons
were draped in various directions,
much like a sunburst. A small, neat
sign told the story. Everybody stop
ped to look."-Shoe Retailer.
