Excellent OIIlCe lot OeHJsI, was bhS
way the advertisement read.
The first dentist who came to inspect the
rooms said he didn't see anything especially
advantageous either in the office or the
location.
''Is that SOP" said the agent well, just
sit In this chair which is standing where
your own throne of torture will probably
stand and look at the windows across the
court"
The dentist looked. Presently process
sion of figures draped in oriental costumes
filed past the window and began to execute
a series of difficult dance steps.
They train professional dancers there all
day long" said the agent, land in warm
weather the windows are always openf
There are some mighty interesting dances
taught in that academy and the patients
get so absorbed in them that they forget
their pain. The dentist who used to have
these rooms gained the reputation of a
painless dentist and he didn't do a thing to
keep from hurting except to tell his pa
tents to watch the show"
The woman showed a fat finger in whose
folds of flesh was Embedded plain gold
ring.
How much will you let me have on this
ring?" she said to the pawnbroker.
II can't tell until you take it off so can
weigh it," he said.
She tugged at the ring; it wouldn't come
off.
cant you get it off for me?" she asked.
The pawnbrol1er threaded a needle with
strong linen thread, soaped the needle and
slipped 1t head first under the ring toward
the hand. Then he wound the long end of
the thread tightly and evenly around the
finger almost to the nail. That done, he
took the needle and unwound the thread
from the base of the finger out, and as he
unwound the ring slipped off. He weighed
the ring.
1.-TWO dollars" he said.
THAT won't do me any good" said the
woman. Il can get s. any place else"
lie returned the ring
"She didn't really want to pawn it," he
SAID. "She just wanted somebody to take
the ring off. A jeweler would have done
it the same way, but he would have
charged something"
"A young couple very recently married
came into our store the other day." said
The silversmith with big silver pitcher
and wanted us to change the initials on
it so that they could give 1t to another
couple as wedding present. They had
received three others themselves. We can
sometimes do II, and l sent it up to the
workrooms, but word came back that 1t
could not be done in this case because the
initials had already been erased four
times"

TO ENCOURAGE HUMANE SO
CIETIES

1t is worth mention that the first
contribution for the benefit Of the
humane societies of the state came
from Catholic priest, Rev. Thos. L.
Rabsteinck of Dickinson. State A
gent Blake gave Father RabsteincK
a copy of the booklet containing the
laws on the subject of cruelty to an
imals and children and the apeal of
the horse. The reverend father at
once gave evidence of his approval
of the efforts to arouse a public SEN
timent in favor of such laws by pre-
senting the agent $10-which was
sent to the state auditor to be placed
to the credit of the state fund. Faith
er Clemens of Bismarck has written
his approval of the movement to Or
ganize societies and enforce the laws,
and stated that the extracts of the
law and the prayer of the horse"
for kind treatment would be read In
every home in his parish.

NORTHERN AND
500 RAILROADS
RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION BE-
GINNING. GRADERS AT
NEW ROCKFORD

Jas. Hackney of New Rockford, is
in the city on business and states that
preparations for railroad construc-
ton and railroad surveyors are the
chief topics of interest in his part of
the state. Graders for the new G.
N. extension from Page to Surrey on
the main line, have arrived at New
Rockford. The line has been chang
ed and will not start from Ayr but
from Page and run direct to Fargo
instead of going in on the line al
ready built. The extension will be
PIP miles long.
Another survey for the Great Nor
thern is being run beginning five
miles west of New Rockford and
making for Williston, through the
Berthold reservation. The survey
crosses the 500 at Manfred and runs
due west from New Rockford some
As miles in an almost straight line.
The survey then trends northwest
y, d crosses the SOP :,ct $40 farrt
son and Max and runs almost par.
allel with the Plaza extension of
the 500. This extension is to be
227 miles in length.
The farm of Mr.. Hackney, seven
miles east of New Rockford, will be
the location of a station when the
new line is located.
The 500 surveyors are running
lines for a cutoff from Drake south
west to Washburn, and it is reported
that the line will extend northeast to
Devils Lake and then to a connec-
tion with the wheat line to Du-
luth. IS =.

ings. If considerable portion
of this acreage and of succeeding
acreages were devoted to seed pro-
duction, then comparatively large
acreage could be sown to Grimm al
falfa each year. AS matter of fact,
much of the crop will be devoted
to hay production and the sources of
seed will thus be cut off. 1t is scarce
ly putting it too strongly to say that
it is public duty that the Grimm al
falfa be increased as rapidly as pos
sible. Anyone having Grimm al
falfa becomes public benefactor in
devoting the acreage to seed produc-
tiOn.
Grimm Seed in Demand
There will soon be great demand
for Grimm alfalfa seed. Unscrupu-
lous dealers will not hesitate to sell
common alfalfa seed for the Grimm.
This will work hardship upon the
farmer. 1t would be wise thing
for the state to regulate in some
measure the sale of alfalfa seed and
require seed sold as Grimm to be
properly certified to. It will prob
ably be found that the production of
alfalfa seed is profitable venture in
North Dakota. In 1909 the Dickin-
son experiment station produced al
falfa seed at the rate of Sc bushels
per acre. At the present prices Of
seed this would mean an income of at
least $4,000 per acre. Doubtless
these figures are above the average.
Even a yield of 2k bushels per acre
would be profitable.

SAYS BANKERS SEE
 NO MONEY CRISIS
FINANCIAL CONDITION IS VERY FAVORABLE ACCORDING TO eRoPHY

w. H. Brophy. who returned Mon day from Los Angeles where he went to attend the bankers convention. stated that the sessions of the con yentioo were very interesting. In speaking of the conditions of the country as seen by the bankers, many of whom represented some of the largest banks in the United Stat es, Mir Brophy stated that they ali were of the opinion that there is no danger of a financial crisis. The splendid crop yield of the big agri- cultural states has produced a very optimistic feeling and insures a sound financial situation.
 The eastern and middle west bank CTS, as well as many of the western bankers, are advising and following a very conservative line of business. They are discouraging speculation Tn certain lines and are using their in fluenoe to prevent speculation in high priced lands. form of speculation that was rife a short time ago and which has not turned out for the best for those who engaged heavily in 1t
 The bankers are also very much against encouraging extravangances and are doing all that is possible to prevent people who are not financial ly able from indulging in certain forms of extravangances that have become popular of late.
 Tfse bankers through their conser- 'a'iye policy are bringing about a sound financial condition all oyer the United States and the situation IS now such that all indications point to prosperous times which will result n natural industrial growth ana me following of careful business

The immigration med. icaI officers are very strict in examin- ing immigrants who land in this country and watch particularly for this disease.
 A fire drill has been established in the Central school and at the Lowell school.

Some of the older boys will be assigned stations with the fire hose and others will be detailed to use the fire ex- tinguishers in case of fire starting in the building.
 The Central school is semi-fre- proof and has very wide halls and three large exits which insure the escape of all children in case of fire that should start in any part of the edifice. the Likelihood of which is very remote because ot the construcr tion of the building and the care maintained

FAVOR REDUCTIONS
 IN EXPRESS RATES
BOARD OF TRADE IS HELPING IN THE FIGHT FOR LOWER TARIFFS

The Bisbee board of trade, among many other like organizations of the United States, is working for a re- duction of express rates and it is now believed that there will be re- suits that will be favorable to the people within a short time.
 In June the Bisbee organization re- oeived a communication from the New York Merchants assceiation ask ing that the board join them in an effort to get general reduction of express rates as many other cham bers Of commerce and boards of trade are doing. It asked that finan- cial as well as other forms of support be given the movement.
 The B.sbee board acted promptly and took the matter of express rates up with the Arionza railroad commis sion asking that general reductions be made. The railroad commission later advised the local board that they were preparing a schedule Of rates for submission by the express companies.
 The commission reported that if this schedule was not acted on favor- ably by the companies a complaint would be lodged with the interstate commerce commission. It IS under stood thai the express companies fail ed to take favorable action on the schedules and that the railroad com mission has flied complaint with the interstate commission.
 Secretary Reynolds, of the Bisbee board, has written to the railroad commission, asking for report Of the status of the express rate quas- ton and offering the assistance or the local organization to secure the desired rates.
 The board will hold meeting within short time and it is Lrob able it will take some aC,ion towards securing favorable action by tho War department for the establishment Of an army post in this vicinity.
