, L. A. Tyron. who contested q valu-
able forty acre piece Of lani not far
from the suburbs of Sawyer, won his
case and filed on the same in M:rot
this week. Tyron will erect T.. fine
cottage on the land in the spring and
will embark in the chicken raising
business on large scale. He will
also do truck gardening, keep Few
COWS and take life easy generally.
Mr.. Tyron is known as Fairview's
cracker jack butter maker. He says
he never sells pound Of butter that
he would mot himself eat and he likes
good butter at that. He never stores
his butter in the root cellar, for WITH
in two hours it will become tainted
and spoiled. The cans should al
ways be scalded, and the cream al
lowed to sour to a certain degree.

THE RANGE ,PEDDLER.

The farmers of North Dakota and
especially Ward county threshed last
fal the largest money producing crop
in ten years when you consider the
high prices that have prevailed. Mon
ey among the farmers is more 21ent
full than ever before and in conse
quence the country is beingg over
run with all kinds of peddlers ami
vendors of different kinds of articles
some useful and others not only
worthless but which the farmers buy
ON the spur of the moment and after
he has gotten it he wishes he had his
money back or his name off from the
so-called order he has signed, which
is liable to be promisory note
for three times the amount for which
he signed his name.
This innocent piece of paper gets
into the hands of third party and
then you have got to pay it, no mat
ter what the amount is.
One of the worst Of these peddlers
is the steel range peddler, who drives
up to your house with a pair of
mules (the reason they are mules in
stead of horses is to appear innocent
and harmless) but the mule is by far
less dangerous than the fellow who
drives them, because you can keep
away from the mule far enough 20
he cannot reach you with his heels,
but the fellow who drives them will
reach your pocket book before he
leaves your farm if he ever gets a
range in your house.
The range these people sell is
just fair stove, nothing better than
you can buy from your home dealer
for from $50 to $50 and on which
your home merchants make "a profit
of from So to SO for backing, furnish
ing pipe, etc., besides he trusts you
for goods from sppring until fall, helps
pay your taxes, build your roads,
buys our butter, eggs, vegetables, hay,
oats. etc.
Now Let us see what the steel
range peddler does for you. In the
first place he doesn't pay one cent OF
taxes in this county nor any other
county where they have from twenty
to thirty mule teams and wagons, sew:
eral car loads of ranges stored for
when the assessor comes around they
haven't range nor mule in sight,
o, I forgot, two years ago they did
get caught in Minot, and YOU should
have heard them roast They use
cur roads. = toward whose ma;ntaia-l
ence theynpntHbutes not. Soes cent

repay you for this privilege they
charge you from $40 to s25 more
for range than, you can buy just
as good a range for and for your
particular purpose better range.
The first thing one of these ped
dlers does after he has told YOU
what a fine farm you have and what
a fine fellow little Jimmy is, is to
dump range out of the back end Of
the wagon on to- the ground, the
cover flying in allJdirections and then
taking a cover and hammering it on
the wagon wheel. Next he is liable
to ask you to take an ak or sledge
hammer and try to break the cover,
which of course you cannot do as
the cover is malleable and being pill
able will not break. He then tells
you how much better malleable iron
is for a range than gray or cast
iron. Next he wants ito set the range
in your kitchen; but the old stove is
in the way, so out goes the old stove,
and in nine cases out of ten he j.
sure to break it. The breaking is
done to convince you that his stove.
being Malleable iron will not break
which is true so long as the iron is
new, but once it is heated red hot
and allowed to cool it will break as
easy as cast iron, if you don't believe
it try the cover of your range if you
bought one for $50 two years ago.
Now that he has the old stove out
of the way and broken, he of course
wants to pay for the breakage, but
all the time he is talking to your
good wife and gets her interested by
showing her few pieces of cooking
ware which you can buy in any hard
ware store for IS and which he is
going to give to her in order that
she will recommend the stove to her
neighbors and help him to overcharge
them the same as he has you, so the
stockholders Of the company who
the range can build col

AMERICAN STORE CAUSES
AN OUTCRY IN LONDON

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
LONDON, March 2i.-The invasion Of
Londons commercial trade by the Amer
ican department store Of II. C. selfridge,
formerly connected with the Marshall
Field store in Chicago, has aroused a
tremendous outcry among British mer-
chants and today both English newspa-
pers and financial journals are urging
the people TO patronize only English
shops.
The papers are using all sorts OF argu-
ments against Selfridge, charging that
ne eluded the English revenue in the
agreement to take over the old company
Of Selfr!dge. 1t is also said that the di-
rectors Of The new company have not
yet recorded the .act that they are also
shareholders. Selfridge is accused OF
seeking all the advantages OF the Eng
lish market without accepting any OF the
duties and responsibilities imposed on
English merchants.
Despite the attacks on Selfridge. his
new department store is drawing tre-
mendous crowds and the business exceeds
the expectation OF the owners. 1t is
this fact that has embittered the Eng.
lish merchants.
