what should be lone with her until her
mother could make good her promise to
leave drink alone. Mrs. Quinn was In the
Good Shepherd home and in the dipso-
maniac ward at the Lincoln asylum taking

and severally admitted they had broken
into a Rock Island car in Albright and
taken from 1t seventy-five bottles of beer.
The boys were just as unanimous in tell
ing the court they got very little good out
of the loot because their parents and their
parents boarders deeming 1t bad morals
for the boys to have so much Intoxicating
liquor took it all from them and put the

COOL WEATHER HELPS TRADE


New York, Sept. 5.-Bradstreets
weekly review Of trade says:
Fall jobbing trade. and to a lesser
extent retail demand, has been helped
this week by the advent of cooler
weather. the opening Of the season OF
fall festivals and the continuance OF
buyers' excursions. Hence the con-
census of reports that distribution has
eypanded at leading northwestern and
southwestern markets, while there Is
q further gain shown at many south
ern centers.
Enlargement OF crop movements
particularly in winter wheat and cot
ton has also made for further i'm
movement in collections, which al
many points are now classed as rair
lv normal. But the weight or testi
mony Is that trade is still below ths
same period OF last year, when con
traction was already in evidence. Con
seryatism, in fact, still governs buy
ing operations. and there is DISPOSE
ton to order merely for immediate o
nearby necessities pending q cleare
view of the political outlook and tn

Marshall on Aldrich Bill.

Washington, April 27.-Representa-
tive Thomas F. Marshall, of North Da-
kota, delivered speech in the house
strongly denouncing the Aldrich cur
rency bill, the ''stock gambling" of
Wall street, and the interference of
corporations in politics and advocating
postal savings banks, or some other
method for securing depositors.
Somewhat disabled, but nothing
daunted," he said, 1.-THE ranks of the
predatory interests stand ready atevery
opportunity to regain any lost ground
by taking advantage of every condition
growing out of the panic for which
they were the most directly responsible.
Their latest move is to come to congress
for relief, through. currency legis-
lation, because they have been brought
face to face with aperiod of liquidation.
Let me ask" he continued, ''what
relief did the farmers of the west get
from congress after the period of in
dation of land values, when they were
compelled to face liquidation and see
their homes sold under the hammer for
a mere song? They coaxed relief from
the soil by tireless energy and patient
toll rebuilding their fortunes by the
slow process Of self-denial. and rigid
economy
And now the we'll known Aldrich bill,
he said, was devised to still further
centralize the money and wealth of the
country in New York by adding and
giving greater scope to an already bad
system. 81

EIdnTY-NiNTn ANNIVERSARY.
ODD Fellows Attend Divine Service LAST Sum
day and EnI"y Sermon.

Ill., day ana Enl"y Sermon.
Forty-fve Odd Fellows turned out
last Sabbath morning to the service
at the Presbyterian church. 1t was
the eighty-ninth anniversary Of the
order and in accordance with the usual
custom the members of Oakes Lodge,
No. 40, gathered at the church to
listen to a sermon by the pastor,
Rev. R. T. Fulton. The members and
visiting brothers come directly to the
church from the lodge hall where they
assembled to get properly clothed.
The center row of seats were reserved
for them and oil appeared to appreciate
the sermon very much.
The minister took for his text, Glove
your eneraies," as taken from Christ's
sermon on the mount, Matthew 5:44.
He chose this because it was the central
link in the chain of Odd Fellowship
the three links denoting Friendship,
Love and Truth. The speaker showed
the great love of Christ for man and
how He died that men might be saved.
Bringing it down to present day events
he showed how men might live more
happily-more brotherly-if they would
say good things instead of bad things
about each other. Glove your enemies,
do good to them that revile and hate
you" was the motto of Christ teaching
and He was the Greatest Teacher the
world has ever known. Let the echo
of your evil words come back and you
will always be fighting something, but
let good words go forth and the echo
will come back likewise.

capacity of 800 barrels which is devoted
entirely to the manufacture of durum
wheat -four. This is the only plant in
North Dakota which is devoted exclu-
sively to the manufacture of durum
flour. The new plant can be operated
entirely Independent of the hard wheat
plant and both plants can be operated
together or separately as may be de-
sired. This gives the Oakes Mill Com
pany q considerable advantage over
competing mills in the state as there
is such large percentage of durum
wheat now being raised in this state
that in some localities it is a difficult
matter for the mills to secure sufficient
hard wheat stocks okeep them running
steadily. The Oakes mills have never
experienced any trouble in securing
ample stocks of hard wheat to supply
their trade. However, should this
condition arise at any time the entire
plant can be run on durum wheat if
necessary. The entire output of the
durum plant is shipped to foreign
countries where there is steadily in
creasing demand for durum flour and a
market which is unlimited.
The present plant has a valuation of
approximately $50. 900 and the entire
capitalization of the company will be
held at only $4,000. On a basis of the
past earnings of the business the plant
should be able to pay from 20 per cent
to 25 per cent dividends on this capital
besides the addition Of a substantial
amount each year to the surplus fund.
This makes the stock an exceptionally
choice investment and the small issue
Of stock which is now being put out at
