We don't believe in sending to
Harry Mitchell for clothes, as we
have good stores and a good tailor at
home But we didn't start to write
this to talk about the clothing bus
mess, but to talk about something of
interest to every farmer. We refer to
an implement that every farmer ought
to have, namely, the Manure Spreader.
We ordered a a load Of Success
Manure Spreaders last fall, and then
in May this year got in another car,
and have sold down to two machines,
so we have just ordered a car which
will be here in a few days.
There must be a reason why the

thing, as is demonstrated by the fact
that some features now in use on

this firm years ago and discarded as
impractical. Two farmers were sit

ed to give them a pretty good pull too
Another farmer spoke up and said
that a farmer near him had another
make of spreader on which he used
four horses. Now there is a reason
for this light draft, as every wheel
and working part on the Success is
roller-bearing, and the drive wheels
are larger in diameter than COM
petitive makes. Then the main axle
is larger than most machines, and the
frame more rigid, 80 that there is no
friction through any binding or
straining of the frame. Then as to
quality of work, the special patented

NATIONAL CORN
EXPOSITION,

Many valuable prizes to be offered
to North Dakota farmers for exhibits
of corn, wheat and oats. !
North Dakota is one of the leading
grain producing states in the United
States and besides producing a large
amount of the country's surplus grain.
It's products are of superior quality.
In view of this fact, the farmers of
this state should show an active in
terest in the National Corn Exposition
to be held in Omaha, Nebraska, De-
cember 9th to 10th and send the best
corn, wheat and oats that they can
produce to Omaha. While the expo
sition is known as the Natioal Corn
Exposition, it is really a grain expo
sition, for many valuable premiums
and cash prizes are offered for the
best exhibits of not only corn, but
wheat, oats and alfalfa.
There will be three general classes
in which North Dakota exhibitors may
show:
lst, the Classes open to North OAK
ota exhibitors only.
End, classes open to exhibitors in
the Northern zone'' which includes
North Dakota, South Dakota, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and the
north tiers of counties of Illinois and
Iowa.
3rd, classes open to the world.
Besides winning all the premiums
offered to North Dakota exhibitors
our farmers should carry home their
share of the premiums offered in the
larger classes, for some of the best
wheat and oats in the world are grown
in North Dakota. AS yet very few en-
tries have been made from this stat,
but it is the duty of every farmer tc
furnish an exhibit of North Dakota,
leading products for this exposition
which will not only uphold the state!

but will result in the recognition of tn
leading grain producers in the state.

The College Girls.

The College Singing Girls certainly
"made good" in their entertainment
given in the Opera hall Satul day eve
ming. Such expression as "Far bet
ter than anticipated" "Most excel
lent" 'sThe best entertainment we
have ever had in lecture COURSE"
indicates pretty thoroughly how well
the general public was pleased. Ont
side of the Thes plans, no other enter
tainment or lecture has ever drawn so
large an audience, there being over
500 persons present. We cannot
select any one of the performers for
special praise for they all deserve un-
stinted praise for the artistic manner
in which they rendered their program.
They are whole souled, bright and
attractive company of singing girls
and they entered into the perform
ance with dash and enthusiasm that
could not but find a hearty response.
In the song in which the various col
leges we're repre- sented and the
respective banners waved, the last to
come upon the stage was the large
banner of Dartmouth enthusiastically
waved, which instantly brought a
rousing cheer from the audience.
The costumes W IN in the various
features added considerably to the
beauty and artistic value of the
scenes. Mr.. Eccles is certainly past
master as an impersonator and at
once carried his audience with him;
the only criticism heard was that he
did not appear often enough as ar
lmpersonator.

course, it being that of the lecture b!

minutes. Looking up the gentle
slope to point 500 yards away,
where monument rears it's shaft
twenty feet into the air, while near
1t, scattered about it irregularly,
were a number of whit upright
stones, I asked him to point out the
exact spot where Custer fell
''Well, there amt nothin there now
but wooden cross, !" he said.
Some people used to come here and
chip away the stone until there was
nothing left of 1t. The government
put up another stone, but burned If
them fellers didn't come and chip
that away, too. Another stone was
put up, and they carried that away
almost bodily. Well, the govern
ment got tired of that at last, and
SO put up just wooden cross to
mark the place The visitors shavn't
taken that away. Yes, they chip off
some other stones, nearly all of the
officers. It's too bad. shouldn't
think people would do anything like
that, but, you see, can't be watching
them all the time
why are you here, and what does
the government pay you to do?" I
asked.
well, I'm in charge of the GEM
etery; but, bless you, one can't be
watching these visitors constantly.
They come here when you don't
know it.
.sWhy don't you know it?'' said.
well, they just slip over here any
time from the Grow agency or else
where. The come into the cemetery,
look around for awhile, and then they
go away, and that's all there is to

eyes, that's where Custer was
killed." concluded Garrett as I turn
ed away to the spot. you'll see
fifty-four graves marked over just be-
yond the monument of the Seventh s
men, but they didn't belong to the
Seventh. They were infantrymen
who were killed by the Sioux at the
Fort Phil Kearney massacre. That
was after the fight of the Little Big
Horn, and their bodies were brought
here. Through mistake at the
time they were all buried up there
where the Seventh men lie, so don't

beyond, the scene was such that it
silently told the tragedy of nearly
thirty-two years before. Situated at
the top of a ridge, or eminence,
stretching away for 500 yards in one
direction and for several miles in
another, it was here that Custer and
such of his officers and his men who
had not been killed in the retreat
from the river fell as the Indians
closed in upon them. In case of the
privates and non-commissioned Off
GERS and places where they died are
marked by white marble slabs, eigh-
teen inches in height and one foot
in width, inscribed with the words:
"U., s. Soldier, Seventh Cavalry, Fell
Here June Is, 1876" There is no
change from this wording in the case
of any Of the enlisted men.
The spot where the officers fell
from the enemies bullets is marked
with white stone slabs about three
feet in heighth and one foot and a
half in width. Evidently, in the re-
treat, nearly all Of the officers sue
ceeded, with many enlisted men, in
reaching the same spot with Custer,
where his life went out, for after
walking all over the battlefield
found but one other stone showing
where an officer fell. It was that of
the gallant Captain Miles Keogh.
The stones of officers and men at
the spot where Custer received his
death wound are grouped almost in
V-shape, with Clusters stone at the
apex of the letter, the other points
extending down the hill in the direc-
ton of the river. AS Garrett had
said, wooden cross marks the spot
where the Seventies commander
gave up his life, fighting like lion
at bay, for while no white man now
living saw his end, yet the Indians
who were in the fight have often
borne evidence to the fact that he
fought desperately.

BY EMERSON HOUGH

Bible, the story of this, which once was land of
milk and honey, and now is waste and desert
place?
Tyre and sdon did just what we are doing; with
this difference that they could not travel in their
course of destruction rapidly of to-day, and
that they had no history to guide them. We have
history hundreds of years of it. Plato called this
devastation wrong thousands of years ago: but
in what ward does Plato live? Cicero arraigned the
policy of deforestation in his day; but what
Italian vote can Cicero deliver now? Mesopo-
tamia once garden, is a desert; but how
many votes does Mesopotamia have in the electoral
college to-day? The Euphrates was river once;
but what congressional district asks River and
Harbor appropriation for the rlprapplng OF this
Euphrates creek to-day? Why whine about barren
Greece SO long as the banana stand vote is well in
hand? Why concern ourselves over outworn Sicily,
so long as we have Black Hand squad in metro
politan police In fact, why read history at all!
Why read anything? | presume the question of
to-day is about the baseball pennant.
From Tyre to Pittsburgh
TT is no far cry say certain ervid ministers, from
Sodom and Gomorrah to our big cities. Let us
pass that comparison and contine ourselves to that
between Tyre and Sidon and Pittsburgh This latter
city has all the heritage of the ages: the art, the
science history literature, the learning, all the
counsel of the centuries that are gone. Pittsburgh
and by Pittsburgh let mean all Amerlca-does
not care for Tyre and Sidon; takes little heed OF
their story Pittsburgh seems, at least, concerned
over the pennant, the steel output, or the Salome
girls
The parallel is easily traceable between those old
capitals and this Our civilization changes in some
features Coal made Pittsburgh,-coal and steel.
1t sends steel out for all the ships of the world,
Tyre and Sdon sent out their ships builded of the
cedars of Lebanon.
Coal and steel go hand in hand to make the wealth
of Pittsburgh But suppose the coal and iron for
the making of steel should both run short! Why,
then go west and get some more. But suppose when
we 90 west we find them short also? The answer IS
to go west again, north, or south, or-hang 1t!
where YOU like. Go to the devil. if you pleased!

bother sl That is the cry of of the citizenship
of America.

An Early Captain of Industry

HIRAM, King of Tyre, was IN his time something
II of a captain of industry himself. He contracted
with Solomon, King of Jerusalem, to supply the
wood for the great temple at Jerusalem and Hiram
furnished the largest logging crew that ever went
into any forest of cedar or pine His preparations
times on our front page to-day. There eighty
thousand men who went out to cut and hew the tim
bers for the temple, all of which must go by ship
from Tyre to Iaffa, thence overland to Jerusalem.
Solomon-it seems pity that his last name is for
gotten-was in turn great industralist. He made
good as they say in Pittsburgh now He QUILTED
hundred and fifty thousand men for twenty years
to supply Hiram with one hundred and fifty thou
sand measures of wheat, many measures OF bar
lev as MANY gallons of wine and oil respectively.
So we see that must have been a splendid forest
country and backed by a splendid agricultural
country well.
We have only this possible advantage over Tyre
and Sidon: that after them, and may, II
We choose benefit by their experiences. If we do
not so benefit, it may not be very long before we
ourselves may offer interesting comparisons as TO
history repeating itself.
Gro to-day and search for the cedars OF Lebanon.
They are gone. Gone also all the giant frs, the
groves of sandalwood, and the oaks Solomon was
wise but he had not the wisdom of the centuries to
guide him. Gone now is his glory; and the land
that once produced these many measures OF wheat,
of barley, of OIL of wine, lies destitute and bar
