BLOCKS ELoPEMENT.

Some excitement was caused at
Courtenay when Charles Reecks came
to town late and announced that Fred
Risler was trying to elope with his
daughter, Rosilla. He says that Refs
Ter had been stopping at his home the
greater part Of the summer and on
Friday morning he asked Reecks to
take him to Wimbledon, as he wished
to take the train for Superior, Wis.
Reecks said he complied with the re-
quest, but as soon as they arrived at
Wimbledon Reisler engaged a livery
team and drove back to the farm Of
a neighbor where the girl had agreed
to meet him, and the two drove to
Courtenay, intending to take the train
east in the evening.
When Weeks was on his way home
from Wimbledon his son me him and
informed him Of what had happened.
The father and son then drove back to
Wimbledon, thinking they might find
the couple there. Failing, they came
to Courtenay, and for a time there was
something doing about this town.
Reisler was taken into custody, but as
Reecks refused to swear out a war.
AN for him he was given his liberty.
The girl was persuaded to return to
her home. Reecks says that the girl

house, when freight charges are count
ed in. II the farmer does not believe
this he should make up a list Of things
that he ordinarily orders Of the cat
alogue house, take it to his town
stores and see what prices they will
make him on the same goods. In just.
ice to himself he should do this.
To Sum Up.
The mail order house il under i'm.
mense expense. It's advertising alone
runs into hundreds of thousands of
dollars a year. 1t maintains great In.
situations at high cost. 1t cannot do
this and legitimately undersel the
country merchant.
In conclusion, let US reiterate that
the home merchants show their GUS
toners the goods before purchase and
willingly make exchanges. The cata,
loeue house don't do that.
The home merchants reputation
and business standing in, the com
munity are back of every sale he
makes. The catalogue house feels no.
such responsibility. Their misdeeds
in n community do not hurt them in
another. They would rather lose a
customer than a dollar. The home
merchants would rather lose a dollar
than a customer.
The home merchants buy farm
produce, sometimes at a loss. The
catalogue house don't.
The home merchant gives credit
when necessary. The catalogue house
insists on spot cash.
The home merchants live among
their customers, contribute to the up.
building of the town, schools and
churches. The catalogue house spends
its profits elsewhere. The very ma.
ture Of it's business kills the small
community and builds up tho large
city. Sc
The home merchants can and do
meet all legitimate competition.
The mail order patron yves It to
his towns welfare and his own well
fare to give his merchants a chance to
prove the statement before denying
them his patronage.
The catalogue house in it's dealingA
with its patrons ignores all the fun
damental principles of community vel
fare. Its methods are a trespass on
community rights.

"skinning" a Stove as Practiced by

for the order at less than that figure.

MAY APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
10 Decide constftutionallty Of Prt.
mary Election 1 avn.

10 Decide constitutionallty Of Prt.
mary Election Law.
Is the primary election law enacted
by the last legislature of the state Of
North Dakota invalid9
This question is the chief topic OF
discussion among the members of the
various political parties as the ap-
preaching campaign draws near, and
will be answered by the state supreme
court If present indications are any
criterion.
The basis for contending that the
law is invalid is set forth in section
III of the primary election law as. it
appears IN the statues Of 1906, as fol.
lows:
"Any citizen, otherwise eligible by
law, afhliating or representing the
principles enumerated in the national
platform of the following parties are
eligible to maintain under this act:
The Republican party, the Democratic
party, or any party designation that
cast 5 per cent Of the votes cast for
governor at the last general election,
and it shall be unlawful for any per.
son to call for or vote a ballot at the
primary election herein provided for
except a ballot representing the party
or principle with which he a~filiates;
any any person who has reason to be-
lieve that the ballot called for by the
voter does not represent the party or
principle with which said voter afili.
ates may challenge such vote, and he
shall not be entitled to cast his ballot
unless he makes and files with the in
spector of such primary election an
affidavit to the effect that such ballot
represents the political party With
which he a~filiates."
At the last general election Gov. E
Y. Sarles received 48,028 votes, Arthur
Bassett, Socialist, 1850 votes, and the
Prohibition candidate, H. H. Aaker,
1883 votes. Five per cent Of Gov.
Sarles' vote amounted to 2,401. This
leaves the Socialist party GAL votes
below the statutory provision and the
Prohibition party 1908 Votes behind,
thus disqualifying either party for a
place on the ticket under the primary
election law. This leaves the field
clear to the Republican and Democrat.
ic parties of the state, providing the
law now in force should be held to be
constitutional. The best legal authori-
ties say that the law is unconstitution-
al inasmuch as it operates to dis
franchise two already recognized po'
litical parties of North Dakota.

BARRY ON SKATES.

John J. Barry, the handsome editor Of
the New Haven Echo, was a welcome
visitor in Louisville Saturday and Sun,
day. John is true sport. Whenever g
new fad comes up he tackles it. He
plays golf and coaches girls in academic
classes at New Haven and bowls in Lou.
isville. His latest stunt is roller skating.
During his visit to Louisville he went to
Trinity Councils club house and saw
several of the boys gliding gracefully
around the hall. It looked easy to John
and he secured pair of skates. John
struck out slowly, bnt the skates were
contrary and wanted to move in opposite
directions. The EDITORS patience became
exhausted and he finally took off the
skates. He is not through with the
sport yet. He bought skates of own and
is practicing every night on the pike
between New Haven and Athertonville.

BOOK BEER HERE.
The Beverage That Has Been
Famous For Centuries
Appears.

Pictures of an imposing looking billy
goat adorn many windows today, and
announce to the faithful followers of
Gambrinus that Book beer Is out today
and tomorrow. Most people who are
accustomed to use beer know what Book
is, but there are some who are not
learned in the lore of the ancient Ger
man folk. To them there is no signifi-
canoe in the emblem of the beer that is
put on tap every spring.
Beer seems to have been a favorite
beverage with the ancient Germans and
Britons for as far back as history and
tradition have anything to tell of the
habits of these people. Formerly the
beer brewing was domestic industry,
and the mild liquor was drunk as soon
as made, because there was no means of
keeping 1t cool. John the First Of Ger
many, called Jan Prinrus, now corrupted
into "Gambrinus," was lover OF beer.
One of his servants stole jug of beer,
but becoming alarmed. buried it and
ran away, joining himself to another
duke IN one OF the northern principal
tiles. A year later, coming back to his
rightful lord to ask forgiveness, he stop
ped by the way and dug up the jug. and
to his surprise found most excellent
ripeued beer. He took It to his lord. and
that shrewd ruler saw at once that the
beer could be made much better by rip
ening or ''lagering, "as the Germans say.
This was the origin Of lager beer. and
FROM Il came Book beer. No beer could
be fully ripened save during the winter
months because of the lack OF refrigerat-
ing facilities. and it became the custom
to make brew and set It to lager during
the winter. Naturally this best brew of
the year was reserved for the great fes-
tival with which the coming Of spring
was celebrated. And this u the custom
