Cattle In China.

Perhaps the long wished for oppor-
tunity for American enterprise in Chi
ma is open. Consul Gracey of Tsingtan
reports that there are no cattle ranches
there and in general the conditions of
stock raising and the production of
butter and milk are behind the times.
Cattle are not grown by the Chinese
to any extent, each farmer raising
what he may need. There is a foreign
demand at present for shipment, and
the owners are easily tempted by a
cash offer.
Cows are not used for milk in China,
according to the consul, but are used
as work and draft animals, like oxen.
Wherever milk is produced the better
class Of Chinese take to it, and the
market among foreigners residing
there Is sufficient to make this a profit
able industry. The native cows are
small, but their milk yields double the
quantity Of butter fat found in the
milk Of this country. 1t produces ex-
cellent butter, with very little waste,
and requires but a small expenditure
Of labor. Cattle native to China seem
immune from the local diseases, but
foreign importations quickly succumb.
This has prevented the Introduction Of
the choice breeds Of cows and may &C.
count in part for the tagging cattle
industry among the Celestials. An
other check is the bar upon individual
enterprise. A Chinaman inherits the
right to do just so much business, and
to branch out would infringe on the
rights Of others. He cannot extend
his milk route or his butter trade nor
sell meat in the market belonging to
others.

Lanadon Ball Team Disbands.

Langdon's ball team has dlsbanded
for the season, the reason being mainly
owing TO it being unable to secure any
more home games. Its record shows
having lost 8 games out of % played,
the 20 games o going it a per centage
of 721 out of a possible 1,OOO-a much
better standing than lots of th4league
clubs a show. The Langdon boys
have won every game played On the
home grounds and over half of those
played away from home. Of the eight
we didn't win we are not going into the
explaining business about. The fans
can tell you what his Jumps" did to us
in the game with the Pickets at the
Forks, or how Clyde played a winning
~ game when We made a trip over
there early in the season-and there are
two or three others that We didn't lose
by poor playing either, but its all over
now and Langdon did pretty we'll thank
you anyhow. y?

A Business Builder.

Advertising is today the mightiest
factor in the business world. 1t is an
evolution Of modern industrial compe-
tition. 1t is q business builder, with
a potency that goes beyond human de-
Sire. 1t is something more than a
drummer" knocking at the door Of
the misunderstanding more than
mere craftsmanship on paper. 1t is a
positive, creative force in business. 1t
booms the town. 1t builds factories,
skyscrapers and railroads. 1t makes
two blades Of grass grow in the bust
ness world where only one grew be-
fore. 1t multiplies human wants and
intensifes human desires. 1t furnishes
excuse to timorous and hesitating ones
for possessing the things which under
former conditions they could easily get
along without. The human mind is so
constructed that it Is appreciably af.
fected by repetition, and, after all, ad.
vertising is only repetition.

sP0TLEss INDIANA TOWN..

How the Inhabitants Of Hope Cleaned
1t UP.
Hope, Ind, observed q cleanup day
a short time AGO., and an enterprising
poet was moved to write the following:
Let us, then. be up and doing,
Each one with a bar of soap,
Still achieving, still pursuing
Make a spotless town Of Hope.
And that's what they did. The resi-
dents of the place certainly made Hope
a spotless town, and there is a reward
Of SIS in gold for the smallest piece of
dirt to be found inside the corporate
limits.
The town board decided that June II
should be cleanup day. Notices were
posted, the town marshal went around
and notified everybody, the board Of
health got busy, and when the sun
arose on a Thursday morning brigades
of cleaners were at work. 1t became
the duty Of every person to clean up
his own premises and to pile the gar
bage and trash in the street in front
Of his house. The town furnished
wagons to make the rounds and haul
the trash away. Other men were en-
ployed to clean the streets, and by
evening everything was spick and
span. Now the people Of Hope intend
to keep their town that way.

PICTURE LECTURE BooMs.
How Some Towns Advertise Their
Beauties to Other Towns.

How Some Towns Advertise Their
Beauties to Other Towns.
There are many methods Of getting
the attractions and advantages Of a
town before the outside public If the
t~ownspeople only care enough about
the matter to do something active and
actual in that line. One Of the most up
to date methods Of town booming is to
have a good talker go from town to
town delivering a picture lecture
about the place which is to be doomed.
The first thing, Of course, is to have
about fifty or sixty lantern slides made
from photographs of places Of interest
In and around the town. The slides
may be colored or left in black and
white. Colored one naturally add to
the beauty Of the scene in cases where
coloring is indicated.
The lecturer, who should be person
ally acquainted with each building,
bridge. stream, park, landscape or per-
son represented, devotes a minutes
talk to each subject Is the picture is
thrown on the screen. Half a hundred
pictures will make an evenings enter
tainment Of an hour to an hour and q
half, SURE to be enjoyed by the people
Of the towns visited.
The outfit for a picture lecture costs
so little that the expense is scarcely to
be considered when a whole communi-
ty is interested in the project.
There are towns in southern Califor-
MIA which maintain regular booming
Offices in Los Angeles. the metropolis
Of the district. At certain intervals pic
ture lectures are given, the dates being
advertised in the local press. The adj
mission is free. Thousands Of tourists
from all parts Of the country are at
tracted to the hall where the show
takes place. Many of these are attract
ed to the town which is the subject Of
the show. Some of them buy lots,
start in business, build homes there.
The California idea can be applied
to any town elsewhere. Put your pic
ture lecture man in a suitable hall in
the nearest city Of considerable size,
and it is reasonably certain that before
very long inquiries will begin to come
and people will begin to follow the in
quiries. This is a suggestion easy to
work out anywhere. "If nobody does
nothin'. nothin' will be DONE"

Ex-Gov. Sarles has intimated to the
school board here his intention of offer
ing a gold medal for annual competition
in certain classes of our school. The
board greatly appreciate the governors
generosity and gladly accept the gift.
j. T. Ellenson has lately installed a
new gas lighting plant in his store, which
adds materially to its appearance.
Under the glare of the gas light the
broad and expansive smile of the genial
proprietor is now more pronounced as he
welcomes his many customers to his
popular store.
The school board are having an eight
foot cement walk built from the school
building to the street and are having
the grounds fenced with a handsome and
substantial fence. Two hundred trees
from the Grand Forks nursery will be
planted on the grounds this fall. When
finally completed Sarles can justly point
with pride to its handsome and SUBJ
%stantial school and beautiful grounds.
An efficient corps Of teachers will begin
work Sept. LIST and the patrons of the
school are looking forward to an in
teresting and instructive year for their
children.
The Masons of Sarles and vicinity held
a very pleasant function recently in their
lodge room, being the constitution of
their lodge, Eureka No. 81, by the grand
master of the grand lodge of North Da-
kota, Bro. S. j. Hill, of Fargo, assisted
by Bro. Henry, of Devils Lake. All the
members of the lodge together with their
wives and lady members of their fami-
lies, we're present and the officers of the
lodge were installed by the grand master.
After very interesting addresses by the
grand master and Bro. Henry, everyone
present repaired to the spacious dining
rooms where an elaborate supper, pre-
pared by Bro. Postmaster Mclean, was
in waiting. 1t was the unanimous senti-
ment of all present that the function was
the most interesting and instructive ever
held in Sarles. A very pleasingincident
of the entertainment was the presenta-
ton by the Masons to Bro. Atkinson,
late assistant cashier in the state bank
here, of a handsome rug and a beautiful
cut glass service of four pieces. Rev.
Bro. Burden made the presentation
address in a pleasing manner and Bro
Atkinson who was completely taken by
surprise, made a fitting response. Mr..
Atkinson's host of friends in this vicinity
regret to see him leave Sarles and the
very best wishes ofall go with him. Mr..
Atkinson left on Saturday for Winnipeg
and it is currently rumored that upon
his return for a short visit before locat-
ing at hansen, ~. d., he will be accom-
panied by, a fair young bride, one who
was until recently a teacher lin the
schools here. Ia
