ASSOCIATION OF
LAUNDRYMEN
THE NORTH DAKOTA TRADE OR
CAME AND WILL WORK FOR
EQUITABLE AND UNIFORM Ex-
PRESS cHARGEs-F. 8. LEACH
OF THIS CITY is PRESIDENT.


North Dakota trade for North Da-
kota business concerns. This is the.
principle on which the laundrymen OF
the state are working, according to II.
b. Leach who returned this morning
from Grand Forks where he attended
the meeting of the laundrymen OF
North Dakota and northwestern Min
nesota.
"The meetings and the formation of
the new association was the outcome OF
the convention of northwestern laun-
drymen recently held in St, Paul. At
that meeting laundrymen We're present
from the states of Minnesota, Iowa,
Wisconsin and North and South Da-
kota, and the suggestion was made
that state associations should be form
ed. and that all should cooperate and
assist each other as much as possible
"One of the principal objects toward
which the laundrymen of this state are
working is to equitable and uniform
express charges. AS it is now there is
discrimination in favor of the twin city
laundrymen and they are able to ship
laundry much cheaper in proportion to
the distance than we are. For instance,
laundry can be sent from the twin
cities to Bismarck for $1.75 a hundred
pounds, whereas it costs us $3.50 to
send the same sized package from here
to Bismarck although the distance is
only about half as great.
1--WE want to do away with this dis
elimination and / believe that is one
of the chief objects of the new assoc
citation. / believe the twin city laun-
udrymen will cooperate with us and
that the matter can be adjusted
| through mutual agreement"
AT yesterdays meeting which was
held in the commercial club rooms at
Grand Forks the following officers were
elected:
President--F. B. Leach, Fargo.

Rob't M. Pollock: The intimationS

without foundation. The temperance

directly interested and in sympathy

ance people are as enthusiastic over
the matter as any other people of the
state can be. Whatever benefits the
farmers benefits all of US and there is
nothing threatening or menacing in the
project of the manufacturers of denat-
ured alcohol in large quantities. The
completed product Of the denatured al
cohol plants will be poison and can
not be used as beverage and tho
manufacture of alcohol without the de-
maturing element IS strictly prohibited

Ceres Flour
| MAKES AND HOLDS FRIENDS

Good flour is hard to get
You do not need to tell the
housewife. She knows it.
Millers are driven to such
straits that the Minneapolis
fellows are now mixing soft
wheat with Macaroni, which of
course does not make the best
bread.
Bakers are complaining be-
cause it is simply impossible
for the millers to supply them
with hard wheat flour. The.
miller can't help it because he
can get no more hard wheat.
Conditions the past year are
against him.
Here's where Ceres Flour
comes in. We have contracted
far in advance for as high as
I3 car loads of Ceres Flour.
The contract says it must posi-
lively be made from No. hard
wheat and be export No. pat
ent. We gave the miller plenty
of time and he provided his
mill with the proper amount
and kind of wheat. That makes
Ceres the best flour on the mar
ket and absolutely of No. /

Where Moon was Torn From Earth.

In Harper's for June Professor Pick
ering of Harvard writes of the origin of
the moon. He holds that the moon was
originally part of the earth, and was
cast off when in a nebulous condition
from q point somewhere in what we
now call the Pacific ocean. The re-
suits of this are interesting:
IF it is true, as here suggested, that
we owe our continents and ocean beds
to the moon, then the human race owes
far more to that body than we have
ever before placed to its credit. If the
moon had not been formed at all, or if
it had carried away the whole of the
terrestrial crust. our earth would then
have been completely enveloped in it's
oceans, as may be the case with the
planet Venus at the present time. Our
race. then could hardly have advanced
beyond the intelligence of the present
deep sea fish If on the other hand,
the moon had been of but a fraction
of its present bulk, or if it had been
little larger than it is, our continents
would have been greatly diminished in
area and our numbers decimated or
our lands oVerpopulated

A New Peanut Party.

There still are unexhausted possbil-
titles iii a peanut party. Let the invi-
tations be sent out in peanut shells,
and the guests upon arriving be re-
quested to hunt for hidden peanuts.
But besides peanuts have shells. tied
with ribbon, containing future fates,
for example
You who find this shell
Will live both long and well,
And welded twice, l see,
The pa-ri-ent of three.
Red ribbons could denote masculine
faJes: white or blue. feminine.
After each has read his future fate
aloud the hostess may pass a dish of
shells containing present fates. Each
guest selects a shell and performs the
fate" therein indicated. Form could
be:
To help along.
Please sing us a song.
Please tell us a story.
Either witty or CORY.
Propose a novel game.
And please conduct the same.
Before fulfilling these 'fates" the
dish may be placed in the center of the
room and the guests try their skill at
landing" their peanut shells therein.
AfteTward the number of shells in the
dish may be guessed, and to the best
guesser may be given a Chinese doll
made OF peanuts; to the poorest guess
er a peanut owl fastened to a paste
board plaque or water color card with
this consolation verse:
You. like this bird, art doubtless wise,
Although you did not get first prize.
Before supper ask each guest to take
half of peanut shell from the DISH
these shells previously having been
prepared. Then search among the 9TH
eer guests for the other half of the
shell
Refreshments for a. peanut party
could consist of sandwiches made with
peanut butter or baked peanuts, pea
nut cookies, sailed peanuts. peanut
candy and coffee served in cups that
have been "decoratedt externally by
a covering of peanut shells, which
may be pasted on. Spoons made of a
half shell and sticks would be appro-
pirate and usable-at least for stirring
ones coffee

come over garrulous A fitting sense
of reserve is one of the chief attrac-
lions of womanhood. Its possessor
carries with her a dignity that COM
mands respect and admiration every
where she goes.
To know how and when to be silent
is Of as much importance as 20 know
when and how to speak effectively.
The woman who can control her
tongue and look intelligent while others
speak is given credit for all the Wis
dom she possesses, and oftentimes
more. One tires OF a transparent We
man, who tells all she knows and
much that she does not know. The
over talkative woman makes a poor

The business of Baseball.

The game as nationally organized is
divided into major and minor baseball.
This is a distinction which prevails be-

also between the financial promoters in
their understandings with one another

leagues, the National and the Ameri-
can, are each an association of clubs
Cor properties, in the financial view
which employ the star players of the
country and handle them according to
the business methods made necessary
by metropolitan demands. On the 9TH
er hand, the multitude Of minor
leagues, also composed of professional
players, provide the best that can be
afforded by crowds of the second and
third magnitude. There are about 80
baseball leagues, and altogether they
furnish the regular series of games of
256 cities and towns in the United
States and Canada-for Canada has
become a part of us in this respect and
crosses our borders regularly to give

TO WIN A WOMAN.

A woman sometimes scorns what best
contents her
Send her another; never give her DER;
For scorn at first makes after love the
more.
If she do frown, It's not in hate of you,
But rather to beget more love in you;
If she do chide, 'tissnot to have you
gone;
For Why. the fools are mad, if left
alone.
Take no repulse, whatever she doth
For get you gone" she doth not
mean away
Flatter and praise, commend, eXtol
theiFs graces;
Though IEer so black, say they have
angels faces.
That man that hath a tongue, 1 say,
is no man,
If with his tongue he cannot win
