The team from the penltenttary
town proved dead easy" for the local
boys. The game lacked interest
through the Inability Of the visitors
to keep Fairmont interested. There was
little more to it than practice. Some
thing less than half a thousand were
present. Johnson, Of the Fairmont
team, made the largest number OF
runs. Gibbs, at first put up good
game. having eleven chances, he
made good with each of them, putting
out ten men and assisting with an
other. Bennett, of the visitors, cover
ed the left garden well, and helped
them from worse defeat.

INGRATITUDE
DISPLAYED
In Article Written for the Herald
Criticizfng VIM. Bulge by University
Student, Overloaded Bounds Of
Sane Judgment.

Hannah, NJ D., March 90.
TO the Editor OF the Evening Times:
The attempt of some hayward stu
dentS at the State University to sally
forth in hilarious demonstration in
favor of Mr.. Duis Of Grand Forks,
was nipped in the bud by Mr.. Bulge,
life trustee of the university Such
action is given scathing rebuke by
John w. Anderson in the Grand Forks
Herald o; March 27th.
Now, my opinion is that of all the
men that live, honest Billy Bulge is
the last man that a student of the
university should make bold to criti-
else. Numberless times in the years
gone by when the university found it.
self in financial difficulties Billy Bulge
has dug away down deep in his pock-
cts to help the good work along.
AT every meeting of the legislature
he is there, using his influence in the
interest of the university. Mr. Ander-
son claims to be senior at the uni
verslty, but his judgment and lam
guage seems more like that of fresh
man. His talk about gang" and
gang rule" Is very refreshing. He
certainly has been we'll instructed by
some one. He didn't learn all that
gang" talk BY himself. would like
to inform my dear Mr.. Anderson that
II 1T were not for such men as those
about whom he talks so flippantly, the
beauty and the glory of our State
University would be divided between
Mayville and Valley City, for we'll has
the gang guarded these aspirations.
No state fair would have been held
in Grand Forks If it had not been
Tor such men as President Worst, Mr..
Bulge, Mr.. Bacon, Mr.. TAYLOR and
others. We are proud of such men
as these and why shouldn't we be? In
conclusion I would say that when
Rev. James Austin took a carload of
stock from Hannah to the fair a few
years ago, Mr.. Dinnie gave him sup
plies for them; not from the CITY
treasury, but as a personal contribu-
tlon. Henry M. Lean.

house theory. There is no class who
rebels against monopoly, centralized
power, and classification more than
the farmer; and yet their response
to the sap sucking tenticles of the
catalogue house does much to trans
fer the wealth of the country to the
great centers-unwitting they are
sending abroad wealth, which, in the
channels of trade at home would re-
plenish and multiply. They are de-
stroying that touch-stone of progress,
credit-without which the great west
would be yet wilderness Under
the catalogues regime it would re-
quire ten times the money now in use
to carry on the exchanges of COM
merce and by the difficulty of it's pro-
curement, to that extent retard the
development of the country.
The country merchant and all he
stands for represents a theory direct
ly opposite to that of the catalogue
house-he represents the greatst az
IONS of political economy in bringing
the consumer and producer in closest
touch. He represents the idea of the
completeness of communal organiza-
ton and thus the ideal society with
the most varied happiness of life.
The country merchant by the benefi-
cence of widespread credit furnishes
millions of capital that have turned
the desert to a garden and many a
poor man from poverty to opulence.
He gives the choice of selection on
the spot, the advantage in economy
and effective result few consider. He
stands as the visible guarantee of his
goods which is an everlasting incen-
tive to the highest standards of quail
ity. And finally when the quality of,
the goods, the. variety presented to
view, the choice of selection, the
quickness of delivery and the inesti-
mable value of credit when needed, the
saving of freight, are all considered,
he lays the goods in the farmers
hands at less cost than any catalogue
house can ever do. North1 Dakota,
alone, probably purchases in supplies
each year $20,000.00O and pays there
fore later on after the crops are har-
vested, sold and the money secured.
Wipe out the country store and this
$20,000,000 would go out of the state
before dollar came from the crops
and would require a mortgage on
nearly every farm in the state to raise
the money.
The popularity of the catalogue
house is based on prestige not war
ranted by facts. A voluminous cata-
logue profusely illustrated, glowingly
worded and presenting bats for cash
in advance, conveys the impression of
bedrock prices, but making no ac-
count of freight, expressage, exchange,
cash discount, loss of time, misfits,
and poor quality. It's myth; but the
danger comes in the credulity of the
people who continue to bunco them.
selves, impoverish their community,
to fatten the deluder. To send their
stocking-hoarded savings east and
then lean on their country merchants;
for necessities, until another crop
puts them on their feet again. say
the advantage of the catalogue house
purchase is myth, which allures the
farmer and ghosts the merchants, and
which will disappear when the mer-
chant boldly unmasks given case of
