We hope you prunsd the Erapevines

few each season. For main planting,
however, stick 10 the time-tested stand

Why not give those trees deceit
meal this year, Try l 900 pounds per
acre of any good, complete commercial
fertilizer. Or apply stable manure,

spray fruit trees for fnngOus troubles,

This is the word received by Repre-
sentative Wilson from Jas 5. Simpson,

with the situation. The legislature will
be urged to make an appropriation to
provide hay for the starving animals to
prevent their loss to the state. Il is es-

WHEN You WEEP.

The Way That Tears Act Upon the
Human Organism.
Professor Waynbaum, M. D., Of
Paris publishes some queer facts re-
garding the nature and purpose Of
tears, coming to the conclusion that
tears act upon the human organism
like chloroform, ether or alcohol"
"When a human being gives way to
sorrow," says DR.. Waynbaum, "the
blood pressure in the brain decreases.
The tear helps in this process. which
benumbs the brain for the time being,
causing passiveness Of the soul al
most approaching Indifference.
clears. are blood, changing color by
their passage through the lachrymal
glands. One can drown his sorrow in
tears az n can benumb his senses
by the use of alcohol Or drugs. When
q person cries the facial muscles con-
tract and the appearance Of the face
changes, which action facilitates the
white blood letting, driving the blood
particles into the lachrymal gland.
from which they issue in the shape Of
tears.
"Children whose nervous system ia
particularly tender derive great ben
eft from crying occasionally. The act
Of crying relieves their brains. The
same may be said with respect to wo-
men,"
The professor likewise explains why
laughter sometimes produces tears,
but the explanation is too technical
for reproduction.

NOME DOWN IN MEXICO

On the west coast of Mexico. on the
Southern Pacific railroad and near the
sea. I am just Offering a special deal In
q five hundred acre block for Dickinson
people. The block to be divided among
twenty buyers at three hundred dollars
for two lots containing about twenty
five acres.
This will make only $12.0 90 per acre
and as l have sold several tracts to Min
nesota people for w $40. 90 per acre
(Which will be the price again after
this sale) and as the land has a pro-
ducing value of five hundred dollars
per acre, it looks to MI like q good
investment and you get the climate foz
less than nothing.
Several of the prominent business
men of Dickinson have taken an interest
in this proposition. among them being
]. H. Daily. T. j. Greene, George M.
Frye, W. F. Burnett, N. L. Mcbride,
W. D. Kirkman, 50 you will have some
good neiehbors alright.
MI. Frye is especially enthusiastic
about the proposition and l think YOU
will agree with me that there is not q
man either in or outside of Dickinson
who can spot a good land proposition
any surer or quicker than your Honor
able Mayor.
Mr.. Frye says he is eoine down to the
lend to select a special block for him
self and nineteen more desiring to
join in, and l think this is a very good
idea.
You will find me at the St. Charles
hotel a few days more. If you want
to know somethina about this West Coast
deal, call on me and if you will ask
the clerk for a folder he will give you
one. l made the folder myself. you

esting.
