EDGELEY R. R. BOON
Rumors of all Kinds Of Extensions
Out of That Town In the Air
Great Possibilities.

Edgeley Mail: There are all kinds
Of rumors in the air anent the North
ern Pacific building out of Edgeley
next year. 1t is reported, upon good
authority, that the Northern Pacific
will extend from Edgeley to the south
west, passing through Kulm and
thence to Fort Yates on the Missouri
river. This extension means q big
boost for the business interest OF Ed
geley, and will put the town in touch
with a splendid territory. 1t will also
give us direct communication with
Kuhn. our sister city to the west,
which will be warmly welcomed by the
people of that thriving city.
For some time past the Northern
Pacific has refused to release any Of
its right OF way south and southwest
of Edgeley, giving as the reason that
they were going to build as soon as
the weather settled next spring.
Another extension will be finished
next year is the one from Streeter to
Dawson. This VII place Edgeley In
direct communication with the capital
of the state and the coast country.
The completion of the Midland Con-
tinental from Edgeley to Winnipeg is
an assured fact, and again Edgeley is
given a northern outlet. The Midland
opens up splendid farming country
between .Edgeley and Jamestown, and
1t means that hundreds of new set
tiers will locate along the line, many
of whom will be tributary to this town.
The completion of these extensions
means much to the future growth Of
Edgeley, and it would not surprise us
If Edgeley was made a division point.
Then again the fact that SO many
branch lines win be run out Of Edge
ley, makes it a very desirable center
and If our people will only take the
matter in hand, there is no reason why
this cannot be brought about.
Let's take hold of this proposition
by the collar bone and elbow, and lei
every business man point out the adj
vantages Of Edgeley as distributing
point.

We chew stale bread for long time

down the guliet: we swallow new
bread with scarcely any mastication at
all. Chew your new bread as long a.

card Partx Prixes.


St Louis Republic: Among the
things thar may be bought for a dol
lar are books, hat pins, after dinner
coffee spoons, boxes containing play
ing cards and tally sheets, handker-
chiefs, and many other lainty little
gifth.
If you live near an old brass shop
you can pick up real bargains in the
way of tea boxes, fern dishes, CANDLE
sticks, and lamp shades, at about half
the price you would pay elsewhere,
for prices ranging from so cents I'D.
But rie real problem Of prize buy
ing comes when mems prizes must be
bought. Men don't, as a rule, like
home made" things; most OF them
have a good supply Of silver PEN
knives and leather card cases which
loving relatives have been giving them
on birthdays and Christmases, and it
Is really task to know what they
will like.
An expensive pack of cards isn't q
bad choice among the simpler prizes
for men, A good book, with an ex-
change slip Enclosed, is another ac-
ceptable prize. Then there are all the
attractive desk articles, made Of
nickel and glass.
In some card clubs which meet every
fortnight, good plan of giving the
same thing at each meeting is adopt
ed. For instance, in one Of these
clubs the first prize has for several
years been desert plate. These
plates are all painted by the same per-
son and are all decorated alike. one
lucky member of this club has al
most q round dozen plates now. q real

After the Honeymoon.

The wife of a business man
with a small income has rather
monotonous life as rule. There
are so many duties that must be
done over and over again, day
after day, week after week, year
after year. Her husbands s work
may be just as hard, just much
grind" but at least he sees
fresh faces, talks things over
with other men. That Is why he
can do so much for her by max
ing habit of storing up, to tell
her, in the evening, all the inter
estlng little bits OF talk and news
he hears. Many men often will
not take the trouble to do it,
more's the pity.-Home Chat.
