ARE WELL PLEASED
WITH PROPOSITION
FARMERS CONGRATULATE THEM.
SELVES ON RURAL FREE DE-
LIVERY SERVICES WHICH WILL
BE RE-ARRANoED TO PLACE
cAss IN THE LEAD.

That Cass county farmers are more
than pleased with the prospects OF
getting a complete rural free delivery
service, was indicated last evening by
the favorable comment heard among
those in the city, after reading the an
nouncement In The Forum. No little
pride is displayed from the fact that
Cass county is the first section In
North Dakota to be considered in the
matter.
While we have a very satisfactory
service at present" said one agricul-
turist who resides short distance
from Casselton, the new service Of
fers many advantages on the whole
which could not be secured otherwise.
If / understand the plan correctly, ev-
cry farmer in the county viii be called

Uncle Sam who win keep us in touch

o comparatively short time ago when
the rural letter carrier was introduced

any idea that system so complete as
the proposed would this soon be In
augurated"

DAKOTAN
INVENTS METER
FORMER cAss COUNTY MAN is
SAID TO HAVE SOLVED PROB
LEM THAT HAS long PUZZLED
ELECTRICIANS - HAS A NEW
ELECTRIC METER.

]. s. Webster, well known to many
Fargoans and for years a resident Of
the northern part Of Cass county. may
bring fame to the state and win for
tune for himself through the invention
of new electric meter
All electric lighting companies are
compelled to use meters to register
the amount Of electricity that q con-
sumner may use. In fact, the lighting
companies would soon go out OF busi-
ness II they did not have some way TO
determine what amount Of electricity
their customers used.
Electric meters are very expensive,
an ordinary meter costing as much as
SIS. The interest on this sum and the
cost Of repairs. together with an al
lowance Of 2 per cent for depreciation,
makes the annual cost to company
fully SLIPS for each meter in service
Now this cost has to be met. A COM
pany cannot install a meter unless IL
is assured of enough business to war
rant the outlay.
1t makes great difference to a
company what a meter costs and the
amount necessary to be paid for an
nual repairs. If thesd costs can be re-
duced then the charge for meter SER
vice can be proportionately reduced.
Many inventors have been at work for
years trying to perfect a meter that
will give perfect service, and at the
same time cheaper the cost of manu-
facture. The Westinghouse people
have spent large sumo in experiments
without materially reducing the cost
Of manufacture or improving the
mechanism of electric meters.
Mr.. Webster has perfected meter
that is reported to be a marvel of in
genuity. Its construction is much
simpler than that of the meters now in
Use. Besides having the main feat
ures Of most meters, there is a self
registering device adjusted in such a
manner that at the end of each month
a printed postal card showing the
amount of electricity used month,
together with the amount due the com
pany from the consumer is dropped
from the meter into a box. When
the man comes to read the meter all
that he has to do is to take the postal
card out of the box, which card is
then taken to the office, entered in the
companies books and the card is then
stamped and mailed to the consumer,
thus simplifying the Office work
Owing to the simplicity of Mr. Web
ster's meter 1t can be made at a fac
tory cost far under that of meters as
now made
The North Dakota Heat & Power
Co. has secured the exclusive rights.
This will mean 20 consumers of cleo
tricity at least reduction of so per
cent in the monthly charge for meter
service.

big SUPPER HELD IN THE
CHURCH PARLoRs.

The congregation Of the First Bap-
fist church held their annual business
meeting and reunion at the church
parlors last evening. There was a
good attendance and preceding the
business session sumptious supper
was served.
The following officers were elected:
Deacons-Wallace Rice and D. ].

Clerk-Mrs. c. E. Webster.
Treasurer. r. Barlow
Asst. Treas. and solicitor-E. @.

Sunday School superintendent-S. B.
Babcock.
After some discussion the church
voted to adopt a set of resolutions and
recommendations made by the board OF
trustees. This action will mean con-
siderable change in the policy of
church government, especially as re-
CARDS handling the finances of the
church.
The church adopts, by this action,
the budget system of raising money,
which is being urged by the national
Baptist organization. It is a business
like way Of handling this part of the
church work, and will undoubtedly re-
suit In great good to the church.

Faiia:s to Recognize His Genius Didn't
Dampen His Ardor.
Paddy Quinn, a type Of bohemian
found only between the covers of
cheap novel. was sentenced by Justice
Samuel c. Hyde. congressional repre-
sentative for Washington during ter
ritorial days. to serve ten days on the
rock pile after confessing that he had
worked only seventytive minutes dur
ing his stay of two months in Spo-
kane. Asked by the court to explain
how he earned a living, the prisoner
said:
81 am poet. but there is no use
explaining to you that which would
be unintelligible to your mind. | will
recte some of my poetry instead.
will read few stanzas from my mas
terpiece."
Before Quinn could give voice to the
second line of his latest work the
court had imposed sentence and the
sweet singer was on the way to the
city JAIL where his tattered garments,
oxford shoes and flesh colored hose
were exchanged for overalls. jumper
and hobnailed brogans. His long
black hair and flowing beard were also
trimmed for hygenic purposes. and.
armed with a six pound hammer, he
started for the rock pile, mumbling as
he left the station:
"The muse got an awful jolt that
time at the hands of an unsympathetic
Judge; but. then, there's hope. Recog-
milton will come some time. 1t must
come. Officer, please see that Pegasus

Corset Ancient Armor.

A French historian of women's dress
states that the corset was worn by the
ancient Egyptians. This assertion is
borne out by the figures carved on the
tombs OF women, who are invariably
represented as wearing garment
strongly resembling the modern cor
set There does not appear to be any
representation exlant of Cleopatra W.,
the beloved Of Antony. but in one of
the temples there is Il figure of her
predecessor. Cleopatra H., in which
the sculptor has endowed her with
corset cut on the lines Of those worn
today. Whalebone was probably un-
known to the Egyptians but nation
capable of constructing pyramids with
out steam cranes would probably find
no difficulty in making stays without
busks.-London Chronicle.
