SOME MAIL ORDER FUN.
How to Double Your Money and How
to Write Without Ink.

to Write Without Ink.
Advice Is costly. The other day q
man with eye trouble paid fee Of
$4,000 to the doctor who told him
merely to stop smoking. That advice
was worth it to the patient, and he
paid 1t gladly, for he recovered his
sight.
There is other advice which is cost
ly, but the recipients of such knOwl-
edge are usually not so pleased, says
the New York Herald. This is mail
order advice.
Did you ever read an advertisement
in one of the little farm journals or
poultry magazines which read like
this?
DOUBLE YOUR MONEY.
can teach you how to double your
money In six months; absolutely sure;
send 5Oc. for the secret Of how to double
your money.
In answer to this the shrewd mail
order man sends out a little slip bear
ing the advice:
First have your money changed into
bills, then fold them carefully, and
thus double your money"
One of the recent exposures Of using
the United States mails for fraudulent
purposes resulted from this advertise
ment, which appeared in scores Of
cheap farm magazines and mail order
journals:
CURE FOR DRUNKARDS.
I have discovered an absolutely sure
cure for drunkards; gave 1t to my hus.
band and he was cured permanently in
ONE DAY: 1t Is a certain remedy and
you will bless the day that you send mo
&c. to pay for this great secret.
Here Is the advice in six words (bar-
gain day-six for quarter), Take
the pledge and keep It,"
Young lovers are always looking for
advice and usually get it, either from
father or younger brother, but here Is
safer way. The following advertise
ment appeared in many of the cheap
journals and caught thousands Of ar
dent SWANS:
MAKE AN IMPRESSION.
II you are in love and you want to mar
~, we will teach you quickly and easily
how to make an impression on the girl
you love; there Is nothing easier. and It
Is absolutely certain: 1t will be worth 80
to you, but we will sell 1t to you for .
quarter. just to help you out. BONANZA
COMPANY.
The guileless youths who answered
this alluring advertisement In good
faith received in return this valuable
and infallible formula for making an
impressions:
"Sit down in a pan Of dough-"
Mail order advice Is surely most
unique. You would think that people
would get enough Of 1t, but there ia
always one fool left who wants to
spend his money.
Here is the latest offender who took
advantage Of mans patent on an
inkless pen, novelty to be used by
merely dipping it in water. This was
the advertisement:
WRITE WITHOUT INK.
The discovery of the century; you've
read about It: 1t will save you money to
learn to write without ink; full directions
and secret for 10 cents.

The Washington, ID. Co. Herald
has the following to say about
Senator Hansbrough: Senator
Henry Clay Hansbrough, Of North
Dakota, is one Of the few Senators
who have received praises from
President Roosevelt directly.
After the passage Of the denatured
alcohol bill last session, an act
which meant a great deal to the
farmers, and for which the Senator
waged a PERSISTENT fight, the Pres
ident sent personal letter COM
mending him, and inclosed the
pen with which the bill was signed.
The Senator has been a printer
and editor, and Notwithstanding
the opposition Of the railroad in
terests, was the first member OF
Congress after North Dakota was
admitted as a state. He was also
AN advocate Of the irregatiom bill
and the anti-lottery measure, which
was a death blow to the Louisiana
lottery in the Omitted States. A
Of the Committee on the
District of Columbia, he is in
with local affairs, and is ex-
pected to take an active part in
Investigating the public school
muddle when it comes before the
committee.

Larimore Pioneer-The Pioneer
does not participate in the bitter
ness manifested by some of the
papers toward Mr.. Marshall since
he welded the insurgent faction.
While many circumstances in
cident to the ceremony would have
been stigmatized by them a year
ago as "gangism," charity requires
us to remember that the insurgents
constitute a new political organ
ization and as such are susceptible
to those radical and rapid changes
of view exhibited of late. The
circumstances leading up to the
nuptials we're that Mr.. Marshall
wanted to be senator and needed
votes. The insurgent faction had
the votes but needed a candidate
with money. It is not surprising
that after a little political Irritation
each discovered in the other his
"aMnity." As a stalwart we feel
sorter cast off, as it were, for a
younger love but entertain no vim

Dickinson Post-A great many
voters are asking what is the mat
ter with Senator Hansbrough and
why is the state SO much in need
of It man to fill the position he
now holds. And they will want to
know how long it may take the
senator to gain the prestige the
present incumbent has. Everyone
acknowledges that time is required
to gain an appreciate Roadway in
the senate and as a man is salts
factory and doing the best he can
why replace him at the moment his
value to the state is greatest.
Senator Hanbrough is chairman
Of the committee on public lands
easily the most important OF all
the senate committees to North
Dakotans. He is a member OF the
COMMITTEES on culture and
forestry, finance, industrial exposi-
tions, irrigation and library.
Senator Hansbrough became a
resident of Dakota Territory in
1881, was twice elected mayor OF
Devils Lake, where he was engaged
in the newspaper business; was a
delegate to the republican national
convention in 1888; was a national
committeeman for eight years:
nominated for congress by the
first republican convention in this
state and was elected to the U. s..
senate Jan. %, 1891, and reelected
in 1897 and 1908. His term ex-
pires March 3, 1909. His record
shows him to be a straight party
man and as such he is entitled to
the respect and support of all
men.

For you can easily learn, with a little practice,
Oliver is the simplified typewriter. And you
can, see every word you write. About so per
cent more durable than any other typewriter,
because it has about so per cent less wearing
points than most other typewritcrs.
~ per cent easier to write with than these
other complicated intri ate machines that
require ".humoring''-technical knowledge
long practice and special skill to operate.
Than machines which cannot be adjusted to
any special space-with which it is impossible
to write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd
sized documents except you buy expensive
special attachments requiring. experts to
operate.
You can adjust the Oliver to any reasonable
sp.ce.-you can write on anv reasonable size
and thickness Of paper, right out to the edge,
with out the aid of any expensive attach
meut or special skill, and your work will be

PETROLEUM EMULSION.
New and Promising Fall Treatmen,
For San Jose Scale.

q SOSS SSGiS
Those who have to combat the San
Jose scale will be interested in know
ing that the Connecticut experiment
station at Storrs has worked out Il new
formula which is very promising. 1t
car be applied in the fall, when the
scale is most susceptible to injury, and
is easily applied and prepared. 1t has
no i'll effect on the flesh nor does it
corrode spraying machinery.
This new remedy goes by the name
Of petroleum emulsion. 1t is made as
follows: Use two quarts Of carbolic
acid, two and a half quarts of fish oil
ind IL pound Of caustic potash. This
Is brought to a temperature of 300 de-
grees. The next step is to add three
and a half quarts of kerosene and five
and a half quarts of water. This mix
ture is a stock solution, Or, rs Pro
fessor Jarvis explained, "an emulsi-
fer" Then for the next step eight
parts of this emulsiier is taken, one
part of water, eighteen parts Of crude
petroleum and four parts of rosin oil.
Dilute the Mixture.
To spray, dilute this mixture with
fifteen parts Of water. The formula
sounds a little complicated, but is not
in actual practice. Stock solutions are
made, and it is little bother to have
the mixture ready for application. 1t
stays in suspension for days at a time.
and while an agitator in spray barrel
is not necessary it is a little better to
use such. Arsenate of lead cannot be
mixed With it, but paris green can
with fairly good results. There is no
special danger in making the mixture,
says New England Homestead. Horti-
culturists everywhere, west a well as
east, will watch the behavior Of this
mixture closely.

Ripenino Green Tomatoes.

Often when frost comes there are
many tomatoes on the vines that are
nearly full grown, but that have not
yet ripened enough to send to market.
I have picked such tomatoes and put
them in a cool, dark place to ripen
slowly and sent them to market when
the supply had low and prices run
high, says a writer in New England
Homestead. But for home use a bet
ter way is to pick the smaller ones
from the vines and then hang up the
branch in the cellar. d%arkening the
windows and keeping the place cool.
They will ripen slowly. and one may
indulge in ripe tomatoes in January,
when those grown in a dollhouse and
not as large or any better flavor are
selling at % cents a pound or more.
Try it.

SAVING the Clover,

1t is a failing of the American farm
err when a blade of grass or a stem Of
clover makes a strong showing to try
to turn it into beef, mutton or pork.
In this effort to utilize it he entirely
forgets that the plant may need a lit
tie winter protection. He does not
understand how little is often sufficient
to save the plant from frost destruc-
ton. Where the clover is not pastured
it is often allowed to perfect it's seed,
which is as fatal to the crop next year
as the winter freezing. Clipping would
save the crop where it is sc forward
as to bloom and perfect seed.-Rural
