Uncertain What Was Wrong.

A nervous little man stepped
briskly mo a jewelry store with a
medium-sized clock under his wing
He placed the thermometer on the
counter, turned the hands around to
about one minute of 12 o'clock, and
told the expert to listen.
1T keeps perfect time" the GUS
toner said, "but / want to find out
if you noice anything wrong with
the way it strikes"
The jeweler listened. "There's
no hing" he replied with a grin, af-
ter the clock had struck, except she
strikes thirteen instead of twelve
That can easily be remedied.'
The GUS. omer looked as relieved
as if he'd just awakened from a bad
dream.
That's just what I've always thot
ever since we've had the clock" he
burst forth. "I've always felt sure L.
struck thirteen. But no one else IN
the family ever spoke OF it, and l
was afraid to say anything about il
for fear there was some thing wrong
with my own works. Well it's worth
the price of having the thing re-
paired just 20 find out l was riglc.

young farmer from Des Laos, pass
ed thru Minot Wednesday enroute for
Minneapolis, where he will be joined
by his family in two weeks. They
will then go to Missouri, where M
Waterman used to live, and which
state he has not visited for ten
years. They will later go to Col
orado to inspect the irrigation pro-
ject in the Gunderson river and
Mountrose river valleys, the vater
for which was recently turned On
when Pres. Taft touched the cleo
trio button. Mr.. Waterman may in
vest in some irrigation land in this
vicinity, which he considers about
the best proposition there is in the
country in irrigated land.
Mr.. Waterman has made good in
North Dakota and can afford 10 take
his western trip, which will require
about four months time. Arriving
here ten years ago, he filed on land
near DIS Laos, and then was compel
led to hunt for job, finding one at
Devils Lake. After securing that
job he had just seventeen cents to
his name. today he owns four
quarters of land, which he considers
worth $4,000, and is on the high
road to wealth.

John E. Thelin, one of the sub

Now who dares to say that good ripe
corn can't be produced in the north
ern par: of North Dakota? The
| world is moving. We remember
thirty-five years ago when people
said northern Iowa was too far
north for corn; therefore the coun-
try was no good and land was SELL
ing for three dollars per acre Now
nor hern Iowa is one of the best
corn producing sections in the world
and all the old settlers that kept
their land can now wear diamonds
