first obtain license from the secretary
of the state and pay seventy-five dollars
into the state treasury, and also sum
not exceedieg twenty-five dollars day,

dinance or order) to the city or village.
The same law also places the fire and
bankrupt and CLOSING out sale" men

WHEAT PRICES

The condition of the 1907 wheat crop
according to the advices is rather bad
all over the world and especially in the
United States. The green fly, drouth,
and freezing weather has done vast
damage to the winter wheat in the mid
die states. The delay in the northwest
caused by backward spring has also in
fuenced the market appreciably, as the
dealers expect that it will reduce the
acreage, if nothing more than that
The rusult is seen in the rapid raise in
prices during the last month and parti-
cularly in the last two weeks. The ad.
vance is about 20 cents.
With good weather we look to see
the prices fall, as in most cases sunshine
has it's effect on the farmer and dealer
Stiff according to the present outlook.
no one will know much about the croI
until threshing time as the weather tc
follow during the summer will make q
vast difference. Hence the prices Of
wheat are likely to be much more vary
ing during this season than for many
years before. 1t will be speculators
market all the year until the wheat is
threshed-or the frost comes.

From the reports of accidents ON the

our railway commissioners who are pop
mlarly supposed to lead somewhat of an

paying three cents mile over safe

It is great misfortune that the trial
of the men in Idaho for the dastardly
assassination Of former governor is SO
badly mixed up with capital and labor
questions. Instead of the trial being on
its merits and the evidence, it has de-
veloped largely INTO a fight between the
labor unions and the government. Thus,
no matter what the verdict Of the jury,
there will always be question Of it's

pessimistic. We hope and believe that
the chances are in favor of fine crop
of wheat this year in this county, des-
pite the unfavorable spring, but it will
be we'll for the farmer when looking
over the waving fields later in the sea-
son, to not forget that there is chance
of losing it, and wait until he gets the
crop before he spends too much of the
probable proceeds.

While the weather has not been ;anS
too warm this week, still there has beer
asgradual let up and to-day "Wednesday
Us fairly warm and sunny. OF course a,
yet there is no warmth in the ground
but otherwise the soil is in fine condi
ton and the farmers are rushing in the
seed. Snow banks are still in evidence
among the trees and near buildings
where they gathered last winter and ID
is stated that during the week sleighf
were still in use in parts of Cavalier
county. The conditions here and in the
Canadian Northwest, have attracted the
attention of the grain exchanges and
have had much to do with the great
advance in pride during the last two
weeks.
There is plenty Of time to grow fine
crop Of wheat yet this season-provlded
we do not have an extraordinary early
frost. For the last ten years we have
had no killing frosts, that we remember,
until after the first cf September, and a
similar season this year will let us out
safely.
But a killing fnost about the middle
of August gives too short season. The
usual time of growth of wheat from
planting to cutting is from los to- 1l0
days, and at this writing we have 81
days to August 18th. Many fine crops
have been raised and harvested safely in
this county that were planted after the
10Th Of May, some of them along in the
first part Of June-and exceptionally
later than that-hut this writer has had
the experience of losing three fine crops
of May seeding by August frosts in the
earlier years.
Given sufficient moisture, and just for
growth Of seed, we prefer late seeding,
for it is reasonable to believe that seed
soWn in warm moist ground will germin-
ate and grow to better advantage than it
sowni in cold ground while nightly frosts
are prevalent. and if it were motto the
danger Of early fall frosts it would be
better not to rush the. seeding in the
very late spring.

frosts and we have perhaps gotten to.

The declamatory contest to be held in
Grand Forks tomorrow by representa-.
tives of the schools from all over the
state is of value or not according to cir
cumstances.
Considerable stress is usually placed
in this work upon the requirement of
the ability to stand before an audience
and speak. If this were all, then such
work, time and expense are of little
value: Very few people are ever called
upon to thus stand upon the public plat
form and these few would find that the
mere getting up before an audience as a
youth and speaking piece would not
help them much when it came to- make
an extemporaneous speech.
The real value of such defamation is
really in the preliminary study. By
this we do not mean to memorize the
words. That is simply an exercise of
the memory. But the study necessary
to get the meanings of the author, to
acquire them as though they were part
of the speaker, and then to render them
with all the shades of emphasis, inaec-
ton and spirit of the originals, that's of
great value. In other words it is lust
learning to read in the true sense of the
term. 1t is fact many people who ap-
pear to be we'll educated don't know
how to read. They don't even know
how they read themselves. By this we
do not mean to be able to give dramat-
ic ,or tragic defamation, but to read
with the understanding. Most people
read as sort of recreation, about the
same as they look at things generally
without looking closely enough to get
clear and definite ideas.
1t is tie close analytical study of the
defamation that is the most value to
these young orators. They must ac-
quire and conceive before they can pro-
duee. The production is the result of
study and exercise. The value of such
exercise to the vocal organs Is very
great. Our own thoughts are spoken in
stinetively according to the varying
feelings of our minds, bat to speak
others thoughts we must first produce
the authors sentiments id our own
minds and then make our vocal organs
produce the tones and infections re-
quired just as in music one must first
learn the scales and notes from the book
and then play them on the piano,-and
it is harder to play on the organs of the
human voice than it is to play on the
piano. When you attempt to make
your throat muscles act in certain ways
they seem to have ways of their own and
prefer to have their own way. When
you are frightened it is easy to yell or
scream; but it yon attempt to make the
same sound when you are cool and col
lected the chances are that you will ut
terly fail. As with all other muscles of |
the body it is worth great deal to have
them under command, which few peo-
pie have.

BARLEY

The fact that barley is high this
spring and the short season is likely to
induce a larger acreage of that cereal
than for several years. But those facts
will have tendency to make barley
cheap next fall, unless that possibly
wheat is high, and then it may keep a
good price in sympathy.

The Four Leaf Glover Quartette
has secured Mr.. Percy Noggle to
fill the vacancy made by Mr.. Shgodes
who recently left for Hopkinsville.
Mr.. Noggle is musician of note,
having been connected with bands
and quartettes for the last twenty
years, and We predict quite an i'm
provement in this organisation in
the near future. Miss Sallie Woods
will fill the place made vacant by
Mrs. Shrodes. This makes very
strong organization, as all the mem
bers are good musicians, and have al
ways pleased the audiences wherever
they have appeared. They will be
heard once week in the leading
churches in town, and no one should
miss this treat.

A POOR FARMER FINDS
81, 900 IN GOLD AND SILVER
While Tearing Down Old Chimney Finds a
Can Of Old Coin Beneath the
Hearth Stone
HOARD OF A MlSER FINALLY REVEALED

MayKing, KY, Jan. 13.-Hut
Hall, very poor farmer who hives a
bout ten miles north of here. found
81. 900 in gold and silver yesterday.
Hall was building a chimney to a
new house he had just erected near
the place where the residence of AL
len Hall once stood. Allen Hall
was rich old miser, and was thought
to have great deal of money in his
lifetime, but when he died some eight
or ten years ago his children aud
heirs never found any money. after
he died his widow and her youngest
son still resided in the house.
later on some few years ago she
was murdered one night by motor
ious gang of robbers and regulators.
1t was thought by the neighbors that
this band of robbers secured Halls
money.
Later on the old residence was
burned. So when Hut Hall was USE
ing the old chimney rocks and dug
up the hearth stone, he found under
it an old rusty bucket containing 81
900 in gold and silver, which was
black and furnished with age.
Now the heirs of Allen Hall have
brought suit against the man
who found the money, claiming it to
be Allen Halls money, which they
suppose he buried there many years
ago perhaps before the late war.

Mrs. A. s. Cavendar inaugurated
contest last fall by which each Gus.
toner, not only received full value
for each dollar spent at that store,
but was also given a chance TO win
a magnificent steel range with all
the utensils complete. The idea was
quite original and quite popular
The ladies all wanted that range,
for there is nothing a good housewife
takes greater delight in than her
kitchen.
Last Saturday was the day set for
the drawing, and little Miss Vera
Conyer was chosen to draw the win
ming ticket, which she did after be-
ing blind-folded. When the name
on the ticket was read out "Miss
Matte Perry" it caused quite de-
cline in the range stock some of the
ladies held.
Miss Perry is being congratulated
and We hear she is to give big
dinner and cook it all herself on the
new range and invise a number of
her friends to show them what
good cook she is.
