Keeping White Floors white

Most housekeepers would prefer to
keep the kitchen floor unpainted and
''in the white" were 1t not for the
labor of keeping such a floor in satis-
factory condition. However, the work
of scrubbing will be lightened
and milk-white floors can be easily
attained, by dissolving in each pail
full of warm water tablespoonful of
Gold Dust washing powder If scrubbed
this way each week, old stains that
seemed to be ground into the wood
will soon disappear altogether. This
is also excellent for scrubbing stone
steps and woodwork.

Travellers Tales


CharleyBennett, who travels out of
Fargo for the Sherwin- Williams
paints, came in yesterday from the
road 10 spend Sunday in Fargo and
visit his friends. He has met with
| many amusing incidents as he wends
his way over the state, seeking pur-
chasers for his ware. He tells a story
OF retail dealer in the middle part of
the state, which shows how a whole
sale firm Is occasionally held up. The
dealer keeps a general store in a coun-
try town, and handles paints among
his other wares. He was particularly
anxious to get some one to try the
paints on building and one day when
farmer was in the store, he mention
ed the fact that he would like to paint
his house just for the advertising 1t
would do the paint. Now, the store
keeper worded his invitation or offer
to sell paint in a wrong manner, for
the farmer man understood that he
was to have free paint, and he readily
consented. The store man went out
to the house with his hired help and
In few days had the farmers house
presenting g. handsome appearance.
but one day the farmer received a bill
for something over 500 and then there
was row. 1t was only then that the
dealer found he had made a mistake
He consulted the justice of the peace
in town, but could gain no consolation,
and SO as a last resort he appealed to
Mr.. Bennett to get his firm to stand
the expense of the paint on the agree
ment that he, the dealer, would pay for
the labor AS the store keeper has
been selling a good deal of paint the
firm stood for the loss of the paint.
w. ]. Moorish, OF the town of Page,
was business visitor to this city yes
terday. He was on his way to the ma
uonal capital to pay his respects to
Congressman Hanna, and stopped in
Fargo long enough to say that work
about Page was picking up and that
there wasn't an idle man in the whole
town. What with railroad work.
said Mr.. Moorish, tand the scarcity of
farm laborers it is very hard to get
the work on the farm don in a prop
er manner. never saw the time when
good laborers were so difficult to get.
Yes, / expect to go to Washington to
see Mr.. Hanna and will stay several
days and If the opportunity presents
itself will pay my respects to Presi-

says that it is one of the best hospitals
In the country. The treatment that
was accorded him during the year was
OF the best, and he has nothing but the
kfndest words for the doctors and
nurses. He is the man who was iniur-
ed in a railroad wreck on the Northern
Pacific just about year ago, and life
was despaired of for weeks. He ls
still walking with crutch and more
than likely viii have to do so as long
as he lives.

proper time and in proper quantities

of any tariff legislation.
Mr.. Hepburn: That, I trust, is not
a new condition in North Dakota. The
sun has been shining and the soil has
been good
Mr.. Purcell: Yes, but the conditions
have not always been the same. The
climatic conditions have not been the
same every year in any locality.
Mr. Hepburn: The average is about
the same.
Mr.. PURCELL Some years have been

POLITICAL DUNcoMBE.

Just why a North Dakota, newspaper
especially a Fargo publication
should stultify itself with the state
ment there has been too much politics
IN the census enumeration, is difficult
to determine. Prior to the appointment
Of the enumerators it was proclaimed
by some Of the more rabid insurgent
sheets that Messrs. Erich and Brewster.
the census supervisors in this state,
would name only stalwart enumerators
and would use the appointments to
further their political ambitions and
that of their friends. This was de-
MED at the time and subsequent events
have entirely disproven the senseless
charges
Instead of playing poIitics-and
turning down insurgent enumerators
the supervisors were unable to secure
a sufficient number of counters. They
never stopped to ask the politics of
a man who demonstrated the ability
and willingness to do the work. In
fact they were forced to go out and
conscript enumerators, not only in Far
go, but elsewhere in the state.
There are some men so mentally, or
denentedly, constituted they can see
n4ggers in every wood pile and political
DOGGY men behind every shrub
whether they are there or not.
