SIDEWALKS LOOK
LIKE BILLBOARDS
ONLY HAVE 70 RE TILTED UP
ON SIDE, SAYS This MANA
LOUD PROTEST HEARD AGAINST
PRACTICE or DAuRING BROAD
WAY WALKS.

81
IF some of the sidewalks in the
business district OF Fargo could be
tilted up on side. there is not the
least doubt but they would be mis-
taken for bin boards" This was the
remark OF a pedestrian this morning
as he passed down Broadway and
saw all manner OF announcements
daubed on the sidewalk.
who owns the sidewalks and what
are they for?" he asked Of a friend.
who was wrestling with long Ha-
vana and ieisurely standing on the
corner.
Il guess some advertising associa-
ton owns them in Fargo, from the
way they are smeared up. Every
other place that have been, the city
controlled them, and they were used
to walk on, was the reply.
II is likely that the habit OF painting
the sidewalks originated when league
baseball was played In the city. Be-
ing considered a public enterprise, in
which the city as whole is inter-
ested, there was never any objection
to having the time of starting the
game painted on the walks In fact 1t
was looked for. Since then dance pro-
motors, shows, as we'll as many retail
establishments have added sign
writer to their payroll, for the sole
purpose OF kalsomining the sidewalk
every morning
Many protests have been heard from
scores VINO are OF the opinion that it
should not be tolerated.

Hatcher Bros. always try to keep up
to-date In insurance matters and they
are now able to offer something new

IN ORDER WITH ITSELF.

So the doctor had decided
After doping her in vain,
"Just a simple operation
VIII relieve you of your pain"
Her objections were surmounted
And to 1t she agreed,
Now, to him 1t all amounted
To a gratifying fee.
Strange 1t seems, she thought IT over
And she reasoned to herself
'Will an operation truly
Bring me back to life and health p
Then thought itself suggested
Seemed to light anew her path.
In that moment she decided
Il will try an osteopath."
So today life is a blessing,
She's restored to vibrant health
For the human mechanism
is in order with itself.

An aggregate of $ss5,e67 viii be
raised by taxes in Cass county FOR
county and city purposes. TO meet the
expenses of the next fiscal year.
While the levy of the board Of edu-
cation is smaller than last year, that
of the city council and the county
commissioners, is higher. This,
coupled with the increase In the valu-
alton Of property In Cass county, will
result In moderate levy In mills but
increase In taxes. To have the taxes
equal those paid last year, the levy
in mills would have to he considerably
smaller than previously, on account
of the big increase in valuations.
The $4,000 levied by the CITY
council by no means represents the
amount that will be expended by that
body. Over 100000 will go through
the office Of Treas. w. G. Laizure.
There is $S0,700 from the waterworks
fund. The money OF the board Of
education is handled by the CITY
treasurer and besides the SIS, 900 levy
made. several thousand dollars Is re-
ceived each year from the tuition
funds. The city also receives a couple
thousand dollars from the state fire in
surance fund. The fines and penalties
In the police court have run as high
as $4,000 a year bringing the aggre-
gate amount which passes through the
treasury higher than most people an
ticiDate.
me county also levys one mill for
building. two mills for schools and a
quarter of mill for the county fair,
which can not be computed.

THIRD ALFALFA CROP
Couple of Loads From Land Which
Was Highly Productive, Weighed
on City Scales.

A couple Of fine loads of alfalfa was
weighed on the city scales this morn
ing and considerable attention was
attracted. The hay came from the
James Holes farm and two crops have
previously been CUT, all of which
clearly demonstrates that alfalfa can
be raised to the best advantage in
