HANNA'S BILL
FOR ARMORIES
SOME MISREPRESENTATION EXISTS
AMONG MEMBERS OF GUARD
RELATIVE TO THE PROVISIONS
OF THE RlLL-THE LAW is A
LIBERAL ONE.


A word or two has been dropped,
which leads to the thought that there
seems to be some misrepresentation
among the boys of the state militia,
that there are not the benefits to be
derived from Senator Hanna's bill pro-
viding for the erection of armories in
state guards, as was expected AS a
matter of fact the law is a most liberal
one, but at the same time the state re-
serves for itself a proper protection and
without it no bill could have passed
the house or TIE senate for the mem

O company or military band should dis

| 81 is found, as amended, i'm the jour
nal Of the senate for Feb. 25 The first
sum appropriated is $4,000 to be di-
vided equally between three companies,
! which see fit to take advantage of the
provisions of the law, and it will be
payable January, 1908, and $4,000 an
nually will be available for five years
thereafter
The company proposing to build an
armory must raise for itself 81 900 and
| furnish site free of encumbrance. In
the case of the armory which has been
erected at Valley City. the company
there can avail itself of the provisions
of the law and be reimbursed to the
amount of $4,000, it's share of the APP
preparation, and it may be one of the
beneficiaries of the law If it takes
proper action this year
The governor, adjutant general and
colonel of the regiment constitute the
board of armory supervisors. The law
is applicable to every company. battery
or band of the North Dakota National
guard. Only one appropriation may be
made in any one town or city, and no
more than thirteen state military or
ganizations shall receive the benefits
of this act After the first year only

priations of $4,000 each annually. until
each of the thirteen companies have
been provided with armories. The
board of armory supervisors shall de-
termine which company shall receive
the aid in any one year. and there
shall be taken into consideration the
proficiency of the company asking the
aid under the act, and its needs, The
proposed armory to be built shall not
be of a value less than $1,000 The

THE THEATRE
March 20-Yon Yonson.

George Thompson, who plays the
title role in Kennedy & Willard's pro-
duction of Yon Yonson, the Swedish
comedy-dr gives the role an en-
tirely different Interpretation from
those of his predecessors. 1t is said
that no one since the days of Gus
Heege, who created the role, realizes
as much from the role. Yon Yonson
is dispensing tonic and is a
sure cure for the blues.
Buster Brown, in it's new form, will
shortly be presented at the Fargo OPP
erahouse. 1t is considered by those
who have seen it to be a vastly super
Tor entertainment to its predecessor
of the same name. A number of
changes have been made in the cast
which add to its strength.

for by the act, without interest, In the
case Of a company, battery or band
which shall own any site with armory
building thereon of the value of $780,
600, the company, with the approval
of the armory board shall obtain the
benefits of the appropriation by execut-
ing to the state mortgage on the
property for $4,000, payable on demand,
and during the life of said mortgage
said building and site shall be under
the control and supervision of the
company, band or battery. Thus in the
case of Fargo, where the proposed ar
mory and site will be of a value ex-
ceeding 100000 all it will need do is to
execute mortgage for $4,000 without
interest and it will be paid the amount
Of the appropriation, $4,000; in other
words it is merely bond to secure
the state If Co. B should disband and
desire to transfer the property at any
time. The armory board is to approve
all plans and specification for the erec-
ton of all armories and audit and APP
prove all bills, claims and accounts in
connection with the construction before
such are paid. In addition to the use
as an armory the building may be used
for other purposes, but the building
must be under the supervision and con-
troll of a regularly organized and ac-
tive company of the militia. The APP
preparation may be used for paying de-
ficiency or debts on armories already
constructed when the provisions Of the
act have been complied with and upon
application to the armory board. Conn
panies exhibiting good faith and show
the proper degree of proficiency will
have no difficulty in securing the APP
preparation

MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
Successful Plans to Entertain Visitors
and Attract Trade.

How to attract trade to towns is a
question that interests every business
man. There must be some attraction
for people of the surrounding country;
some entertainment to please. Many
means have been put in operation hy
different towns to bring about the OBJ
iects desired. The people of the small.
er towns in different western states
have inaugurated street carnivals, fall
festivals and similar enterprises to
entertain people from the surrounding
farming sections. These methods
have been universally successful, and
have resulted in bringing trade to the
towns that otherwise would have gone
elsewhere. Not alone this, but the
residents of the rural districts are
brought in contact with the city peo-
pie on friendly basis and harmonious
relations established that are highly
desirable.
In many towns market days have
been established. From early spring
until late in fall one day in the month
is set aside for market day." For this
occasion bands of music are engaged,
balloon ascensions, baseball games,
races and similar attractions are en-
ployed to interest the people. All these
are free, the expense being borne by
the business interests of the town.
The farmers are invited to bring to
the town their horses, cattle, hogs, in
fact, every product that they have for
sale, and the same is auctioned off to
the best advantage. On these market
days all kinds of articles can be had
at bargain prices. Each storekeeper
makes special efforts to offer bargains,
and generally the sales are enormous
A few enterprising sfslall towns that
have adopted the market-day idea
have become noted for many miles
about as lively trade centers and take
trade away from territory in the neigh.
borhood of less enterprising towns.
The market-day idea is worthy of con-
sideration by business men in small
towns who desire to pursue an mex.
pensive method Of attracting trade to
the place.

lake to another, had evidently started

ing to its mate, and had caught the
wire full in the mouth. The momen-
tum had carried it against a second
wire, the two forming a viee-Iike grin
upon the birds neck, the body making
several revolutions around the wires
and twisting them into cable. Thus
short circuiting the system. The duck
with broken neck, was still suspend.
ed from the wires when the linesman
reached the scene.

FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.
Prosecution of Oppressive Combines
Afford a Lesson to Home Traders.

Never before has there been such
stirring up of the masses and an
awakening as to rottenness in f1nan-
cial affairs among the large corpora
lions as at present. Some one at one
time said that when thieves fall out
the devil gets his reward" So it
seems at present when faction is ar
rayed against faction in exposing
crooked operations in great financial
and business deals, in which the little
fish are swallowed by the big ones,
and the men in control, like wolves,
lead the lambs to slaughter.
It is amazing how farspread are the
frauds practiced, and how high up in
public estimation are the manipula-
tors of the rotten deals. The stealings
of the millionaires and multi-million
aires, the intrigues and their perjuri
GUS lying and Misrepresentation to
accomplish their aims; the intricacy
of the machinery used in their opera
tons, the perfection of the means, the
combinations employed to fleece the
people of dollars, would do credit to
a Gagliostro or Machiavelli, or q
Capt. Kidd
There cannot be doubt that these
various articles appearing in the mag
azines and general newspapers will
have the result of opening the eyes
of the public to things that few hereto
fore ever gave serious consideration.
They will have the effect of making
the people more cautious in making
investments of their earnings, and
will result in lessons that are bene.
fetal to the country at large. Home
trade principles preclude the POSSIBLE
ity of people losing by the operations
of such gigantic schemers. Money in
vested in your own community in the
development of it's latent resources
will give excellent returns, is ever
under your own observation, and while
the percentage of profit from some
home investments may not be up to
the representations made by the ma
nipulators of stocks and the shearers
OF. lambs in general, you are not so
likely to be d loser.

Back to the West.

The buffaloes came from the west
and now they are going back. Years
ago the animals roamed the plains in
countless numbers. Indiscriminate
slaughter by hunters of big game and
by settlers and Indians for food pur-
poses has practically exterminated
them in their old haunts. A few are
TO be found in private parks and ZOO
logical collections, and it appears that
from these sources the new supply
from the west must come, If at all.
There Is an 8,000-acre national reser.
vation in Oklahoma, established by the
United States government, and here
it is proposed to gather as many of the
bufaloes as possible, turn them loose
under conditions approximating those
OF their native habitat and leave them
to enjoy life and to increase and mul.
tiply after their kind. Some of the
buffaloes will come from the New
York geological park in the Bronx,

EQUITABLE PROFITS.
Cost of Production Should Always Be
Factor in the Matter of Prices,

Profits should bear an equitable re-
lation to cost of production. The farm
er who has money invested in lands,
agricultural implements, stocks, and
other things necessary to carry on his
business, when selling his products
must take into consideration the inter.
est on his money invested, the wear
and tear of farm equipment, the wages
OF hired help and a salary for his own
service. When he sells his products
for less than pays the expenses nee.
essary to carry on his work and cult
waite his crops, care for his stock, etc.,
he is the loser. The same principles
apply to the person engaged in any
other line of business. There is inter-
est on capital employed, wages, taxes,
license and cost of articles which COM
prise the stock necessary for opera
ton. Goods must be sold at a certain
percentage of profit or there will be
a case for the sheriff or the bank
ruptcy court. In dealing with our
fellow men we should always bear in
mind the principles of business, and
not exact too great profits or sell or
buy at prices other than equitable. It
is also good thing to remember when
great bargains ere offered that cost
OF production and legitimate profits
must be considered. Too low prices
give cause for suspicion that goods
are inferior in some way, or that there
is niger in the fence"
