Present Prices Warrant Investment Of
Capital in Unusual Business.
Louisville Courier Jurnal: Does any
one know Of anybody who wants to
engage in muskrat farming? The bio
logical bureau of the United States De-
partment of agriculture believes that

returns"
Owners of swamp lands may be in
terested to know that on the eastern
shore of Maryland. the muskrat indus
try has reached large proportions. and
that in Dorchester county alone 1t
brings in about 100000 annually. The
skins sell H. Baltimore at iron III IL as
cents apiece and the dressed muskrats
are worth cents apiece. The demand
for the meat is growing. Landowners
are getting good returns from leasing
their swamps to trappers. The musk.
rat is a good forager and he needs no
feeding.

information and a great deal more in

April 80. 1t tells all about the musk
rats economic value, his habits, his
modes of house building, and the best
methods of trapping him and depriv
ing him Of his valuable pelt. It treats
OF him as "a pest" but the evidence
goes to show that he is not much to be

Enterprise Of the Local Labor Organizations VIII Be Adver
tised to the Nation in Unique Way on Labor Day
- Big Thing for Local Unions .

Ireally cannot be appreciated on first
thought, but when consideration is
given to the Importance of the event,
it is little wonder the laboring men
feel proud. Roosevelt's coming to
Fargo, to North Dakota, and back to
the plains over which he used to roam
in his young manhood when he was
trying to regain his lost health, is also
something significant to the ex-presi-
dent. Many are the stories he can tell
Of his life in North Dakota and his
speech in Fargo to the local laboring
men will more than likely be reminis-
cent in character and sparkling with
many anecdotes of his career as a ten
derfoot at the age of %.
Until Labor Day, the local labor
leaders will be busy arranging for the
great event and the preparations they
will make for the Rough Riders visit
will be on scale such as has never
before been attempted in Fargo.

Ben FrankIin's Success.

Ben Franklin, the great printer
statesman, who probably accomplished
more in a human lifetime than any
other man since the days when men
ceased to live beyond a century, said
all his success was due to the fact that
he knew how to use every minute OF
his time. He never spent an idle minute
and he lived to be nearly a hundred.
In his famous book, Poor Richards
Almanac" he said 'Dost thou love life ?
Then do not squander time, for that's
the stuff life's made Of"
Almost the same policy has been
practiced in the everyday lives of
Americas two leading statesmen to-
day, Roosevelt and Bryan. Both have
been untiring workers and have reach
ed the top of the ladder solely through
work, work, incessant work. .....

FOSTERS FORECASTS
tcopyriEhted by w. w. Foster. looo.)

July 1S, great central valleys July 20.
eastern sections July %.
This disturbance will be at its great
est in and west of the Rockies about
July Is or July 16 and at the same time
the preceding disturbance will be at
its greatest in eastern sections.
AS this disturbance progresses
across the continent it will cause
showers in scattered localities promis-
ing to the eye but disappointing the
hope for much needed rains.
Not much hope for rains for next
twenty days west of the eastern range
while drouth will not be universal in
great central valleys it will be seri-
Gus in many places.
A rather strange feature is prom
ised in Atlantic sections. On middle
Atlantic coast, particularly in .vicin-
ity of Washington, excessive rains are
promised. Also in North Carolina, in
Cuba and Mexico. Some of the plains
states win get heavy rains and local
spots in eastern New York and Penn
sylvania. But a very large part of
the continent will suffer from drouth
and therefore large crops of corn may
not be expected.
Farmers are not selling and should
not sell their grain. They will get
better prices by waiting. They are
fortunate in that they are not com
PEELED to sell.
Those who are interested in railroad
stock speculation manipulate grain
prices. They can make it appear that
big crops will be produced that means
increased freigth and a rise in stocks
for railroads. They are bears on grain
and bulls on railroad stocks, The
bears on railroad stocks try to make
believe that crops are bad.

On Wednesday night, July 6, the
carpenters held a most enthusiastic
meeting. Being the first meeting Of
the semi-annuaI term nunusalamount
of business was tranacted. InstaIla-

ports were the chief features Of the
session.
NJ. G. Bingham who acted as master
of ceremonies installed the new Of
ficers and in a few we'll chosen words
impressed them with the responsible
ty of their duties. r. r. Sandie as
newly installed president responded in

Due recognition and respect to the
retiring president, M. N. Melvay, was
paid by 100 or more members pres
ent. They freely acknowledged that
1t was largely through his efforts

the little band of almost unorganized

LITERATURE ON LABOR.

Do your work.
Find notable cause to work.
Do thy work and thou shalt live.
A careful man yields work.
Leave no rubs or blotches in thy
work
A while to work and after holiday.
Bend to the working thy heart.
Workmen, strive to do better.
Make thy labor pleasure.
To labor and effect one thing spe-

Labor shall refresh itself with hope.

That Former President Roosevelt is
going to spend so important holiday
on the years calendar as Labor Day
in Fargo, is not only feather in their
cap, but a compliment to the efforts
of organized labor in this city.
To bring Theodore Roosevelt to
Fargo just at this time, virtually upon
the very morning after his return,
when the whole country Is clamoring
for him and all the largest cities are
holding out alluring invitations at the
same time, indeed a signal vic
tory for labor and Congressman Han
ma, who so ably co-operated in the
movement.

AN EASY AND HARMLESS WAY
TO DARKEN THE HAIR.

Who does not know of the value Of
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft, glossy and in good condition?
As a matter of fact, sulphur is natural
element of hair, and deficiency Of it
in the hair is held by many scalp spe-
cialists to be connected with loss of
color and vitality of the hair. Unques-
tionably, there is no better remedy for
hair and scalp troubles, especially prema-
turc grayness, than sage and sulphur, IL
properly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical
Company, "a Cortlandt St., New York
City, put up On ideal preparation Of this
kind, called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur.
1t is sold by all leading druggists for
60c. and $1.00 bottle, or is sent direct

MEANS Higher PAY
FOR TELEGRAPHERS

The C.. p. r. railway telegraphers
have won victory by the finding OF
the conciliation board at Toronto,
consisting of Judge McGibbon, Donald
Ross OF Barrie, and w. T. Lee.
Telegraphers who are agents on main
lines Will receive $50 per month, and
on branch lines $66 per month This
is a large increase. Relieving agents
will receive $66 per month on both
main and branch lines. Telegraphers
who are train dispatchers will receive
$131 per month for the first year, $136
per month for the second year, and
$148 per month for the third year
Relieving dispatchers will receive $119
per month. After one years accumu-
lative service they will receive $131
per month.
Linemen will receive SIS per month
The three main points in the dispute
were hours of labor, question of train
dispatchers, linemen and agents at ter
minal points being brought within the
schedule of rates, and rates of wages
of telegraph dispatchers.
The decision of the board brings
train dispatchers, linemen and agents
at terminal points within the schedule
Of rates.
The hours of labor are as follows:
Where there are two telegraphers,
twelve hours will constitute day, in
cluding meal hours; more than two
telegraphers, ten hours or eight hours
without meals. Telegraphers called
after hours will receive so cents for
the first hours service and pay gradu-,
ing less than 25 cents an hour. Less
than thirty minutes is not to count:
over thirty minutes to count as an
hour.
Eight consecutive hours train dis
patching counts as a days work for
train dispatchers. ...-. ,-

Francisco ten days ago, is d prisoner
in the Jail in Hackensack, because
he was too honorable to deceive the
officers. When LecIerc was arrested
it was decided it was too expensive
to send an officer to the Pacific coast
to bring him back and the San Fran
cisco police were notified to release
Leclerc-
But the prisoner decided that his
honor was at stake and agreed to re-
turn to Hackensack without a police
man If the New Jersey authorities
would pay his railroad fare and meals
en- route. This proposition was ac-
cepted and LecIerc came back by
himself to answer a charge of OBJ
tanning $500 under false pretenses
while acting as a real estate agent
When Leclerc reached Hacken-
sack he went Immediately to the
prosecutors Office and surrendered
himself and was placed in Jail.
