LETTER TO c n WILEY
Island Pond. VI.

Dear Sir We should like to set your
boys aud girls at work on this question
in arithmetic aud easuisiry.
A farmer is fatting three hogs in three
small pens they have equal room aud
straw aud care, aud are fed in these three
ways: FIRST hog, on certain proportion
of milk aud cooked eorumeal: second
hog. on the same, bali water third hog
GU the same, half water aud sawdus,.
How long will il take, how much will
they weigh, how much will they cost.
aud what'll the profit be on the three 2
And a similar question in pigmentry.
That same farmer is going TO paint three
barns same size; aud he SAYS to three
painters "what"ll you take to paint
that barn."
First painter scratches his head few
minutes and says: I'll do it for $50"
Second painter "s7j."
Third painter "97.is."
Will they each get a harm to paint. or
one get two, or one all three, or nobody
any and what'll they make on the job
That's about how painting goes some
times.
But there is way to reckon s.
gallon. The difficulty is in knowing how
many gallons to buy. There's a way
out of that.
Buy the least-gallons paint, Devoe
No matter how much one buys: he re-
turns what's left costs nothing,

ACCIDENTS REPORTED
ACCIDENTS REPORTED
AccoRDING TO NEW LAW
ARE BEING FILED.
SO FAR ACCIDENTS In THE STATE
HAVE NOT BEEN VERY
SERIOUS.

A number of reports of accidents
have been made by the several rail-
roads in the state under the new law
passed last winter which requires the
report of all accidents occurring in
the state In which any person is kill
ed or injured. There have been no
serious accidents in the state since
the first of July, when the law went
into effect.
About the only derailment of a
passenger train was on the 500 line,
where several passengers were bruis-
ed but no one killed.
An accident on the Great Northern
by the collision of an engine with a
work train caused two or three
deaths and there were several deaths
of laborers on the road from being
run over by trains. A number of
minor accidents were reported
The new law requires the time OF
the accident, trains involved, an ex-
PLANTATION Of the nature of the acct.
| dent, name and nature of the person
/ or persons killed or injured and
such particulars as will enable The
commission to place the cause of the
accident.

AGAINST MACARONI
CLAIMED THAT ELEVATORS ARE

So. SUARE DEAL ON MAC
5 ARoNt WHEAT.

Grand Forks Times: Complaints
are heard in several quarters of the
state to the effect that agents Of line
elevators are making determinations
against macaroni wheat in favor of
blue stem and other. varieties. 1t is
claimed that the grade given ma
scaroni wheat is much lower than the
grade given other products of the
same quality. r.- :eE e
Il Further thar this it is claimed that
the elevators, after Purchasing the
wheat, screen out the smaller ker-
nels and mix the large ones with
other varieties, commanding higher
prices for the product. r3s 5 IF.
To what extent the alleged dis
elimination exists, very little is
known by those making the com
r.t>ints. 1t is said, however, that the
practice is general in all parts Of
North Dakota. E: n,
There is considerable macafoni
wheat in the state this year, H7hch
more than a year ago, and. if dis
elimination exists, the proposition is
A very serious one for the farmers.
It is very probable that the matter
will be taken up and Investigated
thoroughly during the fall, and if
the supposed discrimination does ex.
ist, some action may be taken to COM
mand the right price. for the grain.

Telephone Orders sentC 0. D.
WERE put OFF
Family On Way to Washington From
Iowa Were Separated at
New Salem.

New Salem Journal: Last Satur-
day an unusual event took place in
New Salem, so unusual as to occasion
some comment and speculation. Ear
ly in the morning through freight
stopped here and a moment later
when it pulled out again a well dress
ed lady with a little boy stood upon
the platform, evidently greatly Devil
dered and In trouble. Upon inquiry
the agent found that the lady was
from a small town in Iowa and had
started out with the husband and
father in car with all their personal
property bound for place in Wash
lington. Things had gone smoothly
until they got to this division when
lthey were discovered by the epndue !,
tor who promptly notified them that
fhhey must get off at the next station.
Z Argument and persuasion failed to
dismiss his conscientious scraples SO
i they were obliged to get off here,
leaving the head of their little hous-
hold to go on without them. Alone
in strange town, no one to identify
her to aid her in getting money for
the remainder of the journey, twas
little wonder the woman was ner-
vous and troubled Even with check
for more than she would need, the
question was whether any one in:
town would trust her and cash the
check. Mastering courage from the
kindly advice of the agent, she made
the attempt to find some one to cash
it and fortunately for her, succeeded
in very short time. They eontin-
ued their journey on the first west
bound passenger and probably arrived
at their destination quicker and in
better condition than if they had made
the trip in a box Car, but the trip
from here west probably cost them
almost as much as if they had bought
tickets through from Iowa.

Prize Melon.

Bismarck has been fortunate this
summer in having a market supplied
with fresh fruit of every variety; this
is due to the excellent service of our
wholesale fruit houses. Melons in
particular have been plentiful and

season was one sent to the Tribune
office by the observation-disclosures Co.

DANGEROUS Practice.

1t seems TO be a common practice
of late for men and women to take
guns in hand and strell down the
track, toward the river, shooting song
birds, sign posts, fence posts, or most
anything else that comes before their
eyes. These people may not be aware
of the fact, but they are violating not
only a city ordinance against shooting
within the city limits, but also a state
law against shooting songbirds.
