Our Nem Circuit .Indae

The appointment of f. c. Higbee Of
La Crosse to succeed the late Judge
Fruit as circuit judge for this circuit
puts upon the bench one Of the ablest
members of the La Crosse bar and in
filling the vacancy occasioned by Judge
Fruits death Governor Davidson has
acted upon the practically unanimous
recommendation Of the bar of the dis
trict. Judge Higbee succeeds to a
large accumulation of unfinished busi-
ness, because of the long illness of Judge
Fruit and the difficulty of getting other
circuit judges to occupy the bench in
his stead, but with his superior ability
and his capacity for hard work he will
promptly bring conditions to a normal
basis. - La Crosse Leader.

Does Ii Paw

Does it pay to hold special sales and
advertise them we'll? Persons raising
the question would have had all doubts
finally and emphatically expelled from
their minds had they attended Linde-
manns' Saturday sale on china. Long
before the hour set for opening. an
anxious bevy of feminine bargain hunt
ers had gathered. Promptly at 800
O'Clock, Manager Geo. MEG onigal
bundled up the canvass covering the
display and a dndred hands were busy
with that china in less time than It
takes to tell it. For some fifteen min
utes, the ladies' scrambled and iostIed
vigorously, but in a good natured man
ner, for the different pieces which ap
pealed to their tastes-about 300 pieces
being selected. During the remainder
of the day steady sales were made and
by evening but $50 of the 700 pieces re-
manned unsold. The sale was inaugu-
rated solely as an advertising scheme,
and not &c source of profit. The
prices ranged in value from 25c to 81. 90.
but were sold at the ridiculous price of
Is cents each

Help Old Veterinarians

A bill of general interest to the un-
licensed veterinary surgeons of the
state passed the Legislature and was
approved by the governor. 1t is de-
signed to give old line non-graduate
veterinarians a chance to continue prae-
tlce, without being subjected to a tech
nical examination. provided such un-
licensed veterinarians produce before
the state board of examiners sworn en-
dorsements of such PERSONS qualfca-
tiOns signed by $50 freehoiders and
owners of live stock residing in the
county in which such unlicensed veteri-
nariana lives. Such veterinarian is re-
qured to pay 49, 90 to the state veteri-
nary board for the first license, and
must make application before july Z,
this year, in order TO come within the
provisions Of the new act. 1t is esti-
mated that the new law will permit
some one hundred old time veterinarians
in the state who were leRislated out
of business by the law Of 1907, to prac-
tice veterinary surgery without being
subjected to an examination.

The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter:
''The plcnting of the new crop has

the transplanting which might be well

FROZEN KINDNESS.


A writer says that the world is full
of kindness that is never spoken, and
that 10 not much better than no kind
ness at all. The fuel in the stove
makes the room warm, but there are
great piles of fallen trees lying on
rocks and on tops of hills where no.
body can get them. These do not make
anybody warm. You might freeze to
death for want of wood and in plain
sight of these fallen trees If you had
no means of getting the wood home
and making a fire of It. Just so in a
family. Love is what makes the par
ents and children, the brothers and
sisters happy. But If they care never
to say word about it, If they keep it
a profound secret, as il 1t were a
crime, they will not be much happier
than If there were not any love among
them. The house will seem cool even
in summer, and If you live there you
will envy the dog when anyone calls
him Poor fellow"

THE EQUITY MEN.

Fargo is to entertain the American
Society of Equity June and 10 in a
most important meeting. Hundreds OF
farmers from all sections of this state
as we'll as Minnesota and South Da-
kota will be in attendance. The Of
ncers OF the North Dakota Union have
been especially active and are greatly
encouraged over the outlook. Some OF
the speakers-including Senator Nc
Cumber and Governor Burke-will not
be present but there will be a promt-
nent array Of oratorical talent. Being
a member Of the finance committee of
the senate, McCumber thought 1t in
in the middle of the tariff fight. He
believes he can do the state more good
there in looking after it's direct in
terests than by coming here at that
time.
The members of the American So
Ciety Of Equity are deeply in earnest
In their movement. They realize the
great advantages OF organization and
are endeavoring to get the farmers
into compact body through which
they can secure a reasonable price fol
their grain and derive fuller benefits
: for their labor and investments.
Gra&n growing is North Dakota's
chief industry and every citizen of the
state is directly or indirectly interested
In the equity movement. The pros
psr1ty OF the farmers means that oi
all other interests in the state. They
have the sympathy and the support
