CLARINDA,
Those Friday Trips.

People don't like to start a trip on
Friday" said a prominent local passen-
ger agent yesterday. and from year to
year Friday is our lightest day. We
sell very few tickets on Friday. The
difference is surprising between our
business on Friday and the other days
of the week, and it certainly shows
that there are a good many supersti-
tious people left in the world.
Another thing that most people dc
not know is that very few of the big
ocean steamship companies ever start
a passenger boat on Friday. You look
at a sailing list if you ever see one
and you will notice that.
They say the world is growing more
enlightened every year, but have beer
in the railroad passenger business fol
a long time and I cannot see any de-
crease in the numbers who believe ir

HAIL THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN

1t was proud day for the middle
aged man when theReading Railroad Co.
was forced to admit that its rule to
accept no new applicants for employ
ment over SO years old. was a fail
ure and the age limit was raised to
forty five years.
This is an era wherein youth domin-
ates and while the Readings change of
heart has not changed the main fact,
it will be an important factor in
bringing the man whose principle
qualification is Judgment and expert
ence as opposed to zeal and strength.
back into his own.
There is small doubt that the aver
age young man has more enthusiasm
in his work, more ambition and more
possibilities than an older man. For
example, there is more chance that a
young man who is a switchman at 20
may one day be president of the road
than that a man who is an engineer al
as will enjoy this distinction. The
young switchman believes this and the
engineer knows it. But after all the
companies need more engineers than
they do presidents and general man.
ayers and experience makes a better
engineer, everything else being equal
than enthusiasm. This. when taking
into account that the youthful en-
thusiast, ninety nine times out of q
hundred will never amount to any
thing more than a good engineer If
given every opportunity. Then, too. Of
course, there Is always the possibility
that he may never be even that.

WOMANLY TENDERNESS.

Last week, during a rehearsal at
the Hippodrome in New York, a stage
hand falling from the flies at a great
height. fell among the chorus girls,
crushed to death. 1t is reported that a
subscription of $500 has been made

the poor mans family, $500 of which
was given by the chorus girls. AS the

When a railroad engages an engineer
Of long experience who has made good
in his line, the company is taking no
chances. 1t knows what it has got and
the engineer knows what to expect.
The latter is fully aware that he may
never hope to be much more than an
engineer and he is content at As with
that view of his prospects. A settled
mind that knows it's own limitations
is better than an ambitious youngster
with a modicum of ability who feels
convinced that he is cut out for some
high executive job and that lack of
appreciation on the part of his en-
ployers is all that is keeping him from
being placed in the position which he
covets.

KNOCKERS BECAME BOOSTERS.

Shortly after the C. II. Hammond
company left this city many people
expected to see Hammond blotted from
the face of the map, the blues became
epidemic, weak knees We're the rule
and cold feet predominated. At that
time an optimist was as much out of
place as a tramp in bathtub.
However, there were a few men in
town who after taking an inventory
of the advantages of Hammond decided
that with its railroads and unequaled
location there was surely a future for
the city These farseeing men knew
that Hammond would not prosper while
they sat down and bewailed their fate.
They realized that something would
have to be done.
They got busy then and there and as
a result enough industries were located
in the city to make up for the loss of
the G. H. Hammond company and to
in measure restore confidence.
The optimist brought real estate on
q rising market. the pessimist tried
to find a reason to continue their pess-
imism. The town prospered.
Finally Gary became possibility and

the majority and the knockers have
dared not raise their heads since.
1t is remarkable what a stimulating
effect consistent boosting has upon a
community. Hammond instead of be-
Ing known as dead town, has sud

industrial activity that has ever been
known in the west

every one is talking about it. the en-
thusiasm of the business man and the
average citizen is Infectious. and the
knockers have been compelled to be-
come boosters or be out of tune with
their surroundings.
AS a result Hammond is now locating
industries with enthusiasm instead OF
money as a bonus and the beauty of il
all is that every one is contributing.

John Bruce was arrested at Grand
Forks by Deputy Sheriff Gilbreath on
a charge of stealing ten tons of hay

ALLEGED PIeeERs' PLAN FAILS

Judge Takes Hold and Seventeen In.
dictments Are Returned.
The grand jury at Mandan brought
in indictments against seventeen al.
legged blind piggers, and they will be
arraigned and tried at the present
term of court. Originally there were
but twelve such cases for the district
court, and emulating the profitable
example set in Burleigh county last
spring under like conditions, the de-
PENDANT circulated petition for a
grand jury, in the expectation that
no indictments would be returned.
The grand jury started in on its
part of the program, but Judge Burke
of Valley City, who had been called
by Judge Winchester to sit during
this term of court, would not have it
SO, discharged the jury and had an
other summoned. This last jury
seems to have been working over
time, and not only indicted the orig
inal dozen, but few more, and is still
hard at, work on blind pigger cases,
SO that it is probable that more than
thirty will fall beneath its Juggernaut,
It is understood that attorneys will
move to quash the indictments, and in
case OF failure will appeal to the ,su.
preme court for writs of habeas cor
pus and other processes.

WELD FAR BELOW AVERAGE.
Reports Of Crop Conditions In North
Dakota.

Dakota.
A special agent of an elevator and
milling company Of this state has re.
Gently made an extended and circuit
GUS trip Of inspection Of the crop yield
Of this year and other matters con-
nected Herewith. He visited eleven
counties in the northern part of the
state and also made inquiries into
certain localities in Manitoba regard
ing crops raised there this year His
conclusions are that the average field
In North Dakota yielded as follows:
Blue stem and fife, us bushels:
durum, 91-5; flax. 67-8; barley,
IL 1916; oats, IA to II; rye, unknown.
In the extreme northern and Red
river valley counties the hard varie-
ties grade approximately as follows:
60 per cent No. 1 Northern, % per
cent No. Northern, and balance No.
and rejected. Durum, Is per cent
No. 1, 25 per cent No. 2; flax, 70 per
cent No. 1, 80 per cent No. 2 and no
grade; barley, 40 per cent No. 8. GO
per cent No. a; oats, all high grade
The average prices paid to date are
as follows: At local elevators, hard
varieties, 81 SIC; durum, Csc; flax.
$1.07; barley, 76 5-Sc; oats, 80 f-5c.
1t is extremely difficult to determine
with accuracy the percentage of grain
already marketed this year, but from
the best information obtainable your
correspondent believes that these fig
ures will be found nearly right. OF
the hard varieties 70 per cent have
been sold and stored in elevators,
perhaps 10 per cent still in store;
durum 80 per cent: barley, IS per
cent. flax 80 per cent, oats, no more
to sell.
It will readily be seen that when the
seed wheat is retained that not to ex-
coed 20 per cent of our hard wheat
crops in the localities mentioned is
available. Should these conditions
exist in other counties, and the pre-
sumption is that they certainly do, it
would look as if higher prices would
certainly prevail before another crop
is harvested. From what could be
learned of the crop grown in the prov
ince Of Manitoba and the Canadian
Northwest, the yield was much below
the average and the quality of low
grade owing to the early .frosts.

GRAND JURY NO. BEGINS GRIND

Prosecution After Results In Morton
County.
The movement for the suppression
Of the liquor traffic west Of the Mis-
souri, river will be resumed at once.
The second grand jury has been
sworn in and testimony will begin this
week.
Cases against alleged violators Of
the prohibition law in Mandan were
brought some time ago by the attor.
ney general. In the ordinary course
of affairs they would have gone di.
rectly to trial on information by the
prosecuting officers. But when
grand jury is summoned all matters
of criminal litigation pending go be.
fore it. Some Of the persons concern
ed possibly felt that If the grand jury
failed to indict they would be clear Of
prosecution. Accordingly, the neces.
sary petition for jury was filed and
it was called. The first one failed to
fndict anybody, but Judge Burke Inn
mediately called second one which
has already begun its work. If 1t fails
to find indictments a third is prom.
tsed.
Prosecutions have also been begun
against alleged violators at Dickinson
and injunction papers have been serv.
ed. Although no liquors were found
in search of the places, they were
closed, and the proceedings will take
their regular course in court.
The local option system of dealing
with the liquor traffic has prevailed in
some instances west of the river, and
licenses have been collected from
''piggers'' that have been turned into
the city treasures to pay running ex-
penses. It is contended by advocates
of the liquor system that now their
towns will have lower class Of liquor
sellers and that there will be no com.
pensation in the way of revenue. The
prosecution, of course, contends that
the collection of licenses is only con.
doning a violation Of the prohibition
law.
