EVERY WEEK SHOWS GAIN.

The bank clearances for the
week ending today at noon were
$61,51S.84 higher than they were
for the corresponding week of
last year, which is 5 per cent
of an increase. This is not so
high as some others weeks of
this year, but shows that the
banks are gaining over last year
all the time. The clearances for
this week amounted to the sum
of $763.126.50 and for last year
the amount was $7o1, 6076O. T he

HELP HOME ENTERPRISES.

Fargo is reaching out for more new
enterprises. There are opportunities
for securing many things that will ben
eft this city. The Forum has recently
called attention TO many manufacture
ing plants that were already in opera
ton.
The people of this city should start
right and patronize these. II Is not
fair to expect the rest OF the people
of North Dakota to buy Fargo made
goods, If the people of Fargo do not.
The local mills turn out high grade
OF flour, the sash and door and show
case factories are high class. Fargo
bakeries and candy factories manufac-
ture pure food stuffs. The bottled
goods turned out in this city conform
to all the regulations prescribed by
Commissioner Laid. The mattresses
made here are comfortable The trunks
and the boxes manufactured in Fargo
are better than local dealers can pur-
chase elsewhere.
The different lines Of industry could
be carried on throughout, but there is
but one final conclusion: Home indus
tries should be patronized ,
Buy at home whenever possible.
Every dollar spent by Fargoans for
Fargo made goods means keeping the
money in Fargo, giving more employ
ment to people-increasing the popula-
ton and business--getting more people
to share the burden Of municipal and
school expense.
Don't forget to support and boost
for Fargo-made goods.

LITTLE DIFFERENCE.

Commenting on the similarity of the
views of Taft and Roosevelt on some
of the big things now before the Amer
lean people, The Minneapolis Journal
says:
| The president and the former presi-
dent have come and gone, and Mime
sofa. a typical republican state, which
has honored both with large majorities,
has had a chance TO see and hear them.
What is the net result of it's bordering
on their teachings?
This, at least, Is certain: There is
not enough difference between them on
which to hang a controversy. Roose-
| welt initiated the conservation move
ment. Taft says: II inherited this
policy, and rejoice in my inheritance"
Taft initiated tariff making by COM
mission as a practical issue and Roose-
| welt says It is the only way to get a
square deal in the tariff. And yester-
| day Colonel Roosevelt unreservedly
commended the presidents conserva-
ton address and the policies it recon-
mends.
Everywhere their proposals support
O0ASAA SLIiGE as neatly DIS Shingles cover
a roof. What room is there for antag-
onism between them? There is none
in works or words, and one is forced
to the conclusion that whatever there
was has been manufactured by de-
signing persons. Mr.. Roosevelt in his
recent travels has announced himself
as progressive, but he has not been
able to confine his Endorsements to the
insurgents. When he went into Kan
sas, he Endorsed Governor Stubs, who
is an insurgent from way back. When
he went into the next state, he in
dorsed Senator Burkett, who is de-
scribed indifferently as a near-insur-
gent and a near-regular. If there is
anything to be learned from this. it
is that Mr.. Roosevelt knows there is a
republican party that is broader than
either faction, and that there are good
men in both. The president knows the
same. So it appears that Roosevelt
and Taft not only agree upon the
things to be done, but that they fire.
quently agree upon the men to do
them.
The tour of Colonel Roosevelt, which
threatened to be a fir 9brand, has, we
believe, been after all a good thing
for the republican party 1t has clear
ed away some clouds of misunder-
standing between the president and the
former president. and it has left less
bitter feeling between the factions that
are striving for the mastery of the
party.

MORE BIG BATTLEsHIPs.

The nations of the world are still
talking of peace and preparing for war.
When the tremendous expenditure
for naval supremacy is considered, one
cannot feel but that peace talk is the
shallowest kind of buncombe.
The most important recent event in
naval circles was the launching of the
British battleship-cruiser Lion-which
will outshine the famous Indomitable
and Invincible. The Lion is as much
in advance of her class as the Dread
naUght was of hers, and is conceded
to be practically invulnerable by naval
experts abroad because of the weight
of her broadside and her great speed.
The Lion mounts eight 1876 rifles, each
of which fires weight of 1900 pounds,
while the first Dreadnaught has ten ~
inch guns using s5O-pound projectiles.
But the Lion will have a speed of from
% to 80 knots, while the big battle
ship makes 81 and the displacement of
the new ship is 1880 tons, against the
1900 of the old.
Equal progress is being quietly made
on the other side of the world-where
Japan is now carrying out the third
stage" Of her naval advancement This
calls for one battleship of the Dread
naught type. two battleship- cruisers, a
destroyer and q submarine-but al

which will dispIace 1900 tons, is near
ing completion at Nagasal1i, and she
will carry, in addition to two big tor
pedo tubes, a battery of 3-inch
guns which will IRE IA rounds Of
shrapnel per minute. Her triple ex-
pansion Parsons turbines are expected
to drive her 80 knots an hour. The
Kawachi battleship OF $4,000 tons,
will be launched in the spring, while
her sister ship, the Settsu, will take
the water in October. Both will mount
twelve Pinch guns. ten. 16-inch and
twelve 4-inch rifles.

Travellers Tales


II was just strolling around the barn

hiss family out to a farm boarding
house this summer to spend a few
weeks, taking a last look at the place
and kicking myself for being such a

strolled toward the sound and heard
the following in the voice Of the farmer
who owned the place:
Two weeks board for that squint-
eyed gal who longed for hills ami dalas.

Three weeks for that artist chan
who wanted to see sunrises and sun
sets. Kicked a little about his corn
husk mattress, but saw the suns and
left me $21. Clear profit, about SIS.

the simmer of the moon on the lakes
while holding hands with some one. No
lakes--no shimmer--no moon How
ever, she fell for SIT. Clear profit, $11.
Young man from the music store.
Wanted to hear the robins and blue
birds and catch their notes for a new
medley. No songs--no medley. Kicked
about the fried pork and left at the
end of ten days. Clear profit about Sc.

man.
A little southside girl still under 6
went all alone to visit her aunt who
AiNSS near the "A. u Inc little miss
played around the front yard OF the
aunt's place for awhile. Then her aunt
brought playful young terrier into
the yard saying to the child
This is your little four footed
cousin"
Five minutes later the aunt re-
turned to the front yard to call the
kid into the house, but she wasn't
anywhere to be seen. The fox terrier
was playing alone. There was a
scrambling hunt for the child and all
kinds of alarm, but the little girl didn't
turn up. After a half hour hunt the
aunt called UP the little girls home.
The little girl was home with her
mother.
She had walked right to the car for
the southside as soon as the fox terrier
pup was presented to her.

her mother asked her in surprise.
