House For Sale and Tells Of
Its Advantages.

There are several reasons why ]

to that end have noted the following
facts concerning it. / have had several
inquiries and all agree we have a nice
little home but 1t has not been just
what they wanted:
FOR SALE-My seven room cottage,
full high basement, z4x40, fine ce-
ment floor. bell trap, complete laun-
dry. separate vegetable and fruit stor-
age room, hot air furnace that keeps
house warm, hot water connection
with furnace. Screened porch, hard
wood floors and woodwork, three bed
rooms good shed, gas, electricity,
large bath room, corner lot 50x140, fine
lawn and shade trees, vines, gar
den plot 100 it., cement walks; worth
$3.50, will take $3,150.
This house Is just right for some fam
lily of three or four 1t can be heated,
ana that warmly, for $50 during the
winter It Is in one Of the most healthy
and congenial neighborhoods in the
city-as is suggested by the fact that
l have been suffered there for four
years. A grade school and Fargo col
lege are but two blocks away There
are electric light fixtures, gas stove,
roll curtains, laundry equipment, lawn
mower. garden hose and tools and
kitchen utensils, as well as other arti-
cles necessary to housekeeping that
might be included in the sale price
If one is not in a position to take adj
vantage of cash price, we can make
deal for a few hundred down and
mortgage back on the balance with
privilege of easy payments. Property
is increasing In value in this vicinity
and this can be had at such a bargain
as to be a profitable speculation. Taxes

Clay county politics are not In the

little too early, but nevertheless the
slate makers are at work and there
are whisperings here and there that
though the election next year will be
an off-year one, It will be an excep-

Interest win be added to the fight
because of the fact that state sena-
tor will have to be elected to succeed
Atty. F. H. Peterson Of Moorhead.
When one of the "boys" was asked II
Mr.. Peterson would be candidate he
Uttered quite loudly and said only a
catastrophe would prevent him and
that he had begun already TO fix his
fences. AS to his success, it much de-
pended upon Becker county and what

very astute one and has a host of
friends in Becker county to form a
basis for his battle. Then, too, he has
done a lot for Moorhead, but there
are those who say he did no more than
his duty and what he was sent to the
legislature for.
The fight in Clay county will be
conferred on the sheriffship. Whether

prospective candidates who are being
talked about unreservedly are Jalmer

THIS VINE GREW SOME.
Remarkable Experience Which Hap

Argusville. N. D., Sept. 21.-To The
Forum: Reading the item in a re-

Red river OF the north does not really
need fertilizing, / thought OF testing a

The hills were prepared beforehand.
Having two friends with me took
them along to see the result. had
told them of the wonderful starting
properties of the fertilizer, and advised
them to be on the lookout for some-
thing lively. I put the seed in the
hill and a handful Of fertilizer on the
seed and kicked some dirt on top Of
the whole with one foot and started
to run with the other foot. One OF my
visitors being quick to observe, start
ed off lively; the other one was rather
dumbfounded at the rumpus going on
In the Hill and did not begin to move
until ne saw a vine pop out OF the
ground and start toward one or his
legs. The other started toward barb
wire fence and before he could get
over the vine had him and several
others came and Joined the first. Al
hired man who was trimming with a
bush scythe near. was watching the
performances going on and went to
his rescue and 1t took some time, with
the assistance Of myself and friend
with out pocket knives. to cut him
loose. He was SO overcome with the
exertion that a great perspiration
came over him. In putting his hand
In his pocket for his handkerchief he
found fun grown cucumber in his
pocket. It could not grow any more
as the vine had been cut in the melee.
Since then | have been more eau
tious. / mix the fertilizer thoroughly
with the earth. The seeds do not

A GREAT LOSS
TO HIS COUNTRY
LOCAL MEN pEPLoRE THE PASS
ING OF STATES BRILLIANT SON
AND GovERNoR-sELIEvE HE
HAD GREATER WORK TO Ac-
coMPLIsH.

The announcement OF the death OF
Governor Johnson came as a great
shock to the people Of this city, and
today on all sides the executives
death is Almost the sole topic OF con-
versation. That the late governor had
endeared himself to his people, re-
gardless of political afflIiatlon, Is re-
fiected In the many beautiful tributes
paid his memory by prominent local
citizens. which follow below:
Geo. Il. Perley: Governor Johnson's
death removes from public life man
who has been for the last few years
much in the limelight of publicity, and
who, in the general opinion OF the
people, has been tried and not found
wanting. Mr.. johnson was probably
not great man In the broadest sense
OF that term; but he was a ready, a.
versatile, tactful and a broad vision
ed man. Personally he was most
charming and congenial and very
prince OF mixers. Most of all he was
honest, fearless and high minded. His
untimely death cuts short a career
already OF national interest and con-
Germ, and removes from life a pub
lie servant of a stamp, especially
needed in American politics, and
which, alas, Is too rarely found. He
doubtless occupied q unique position
in public affairs in Minnesota. and II
is possible that there is no other
member of his political party on whom
his mantle can fall. Minnesotans with
out regard to party affiliations sin
cerely mourn his death.
Lew A. Huntoon: With every true
son of Minnesota, mourn the death
of Gov. John A. Johnson, a man
clean in private and public life and a
man Of whom every citizen of Mime
sofa should be justly proud.
Patrick H. Lamb: I consider the
passing away Of Governor Johnson a
very great loss not only TO the state
but to the nation at large. He was
devotedly honest and courageous to
a marked degree and always jealous
for the best interests of the public.
Carroll A. Nye: The dea 4 of Gov
ernor johnson is not only great loss
to this great commonwealth and his
intimate friends, but distinct loss to
the whole nation. Men possessing the
characteristics which our departed chief
executive possessed are so rare that
his passing away comes doubly hard.
