Death Of Mrs. Falek

The death of Mrs. B. D. Falck
occurred Sunday morning at one
of the Bismarck hospitals, and re.
suited from pneumonia followed by
complications. Mrs. Falck had
been i'll only short time and her
death came as a distinct shock to
her numerous friends in this CON-
munity.
Mrs. Falck was native of Nor
way and was 68 years of age at the
time of her death. When she and
her husband migrated to the Un-
tied States they lived for a few
years in Minnesota. In 1882: they
moved to North Dakota and settl.
ed down on farm about three
miles from Washburn. They re-
sided here for many years, later
moving to Burleigh county. Mr..
Falck died some time ago and for
the past few years Mrs. Falck has
made her home with her sons, Os-
car and Albert who now live near
Bismarck.
The deceased is survived by
three sons, Oscar and Albert of
Bismarck and Herman who is still
a resident Of Norway; and by five
daughters, Mrs. Erick Sundqulst
of Bismarck. Florence Falck of
Bismarck, Mrs. w. Il. James of
Winnipeg, Mrs. John Anderson of
Chicago and Mrs. John Quinn of
Arizona. The funeral services
were held Tuesday afternoon from
the McCabe Methodist church,
Rev. Alison Of the Norwegian Lu-
theran church officiating. Inter-

Rcvctmcnt Work
For WaShburl
All Depends On Quick Work BY tie
Bidders as0n1y a Short Time
Given Them to Figure

The government may mean to do
the $4,000 worth of revetment
work promised at this harbor this
winter but 1t looks doubtful after
reading the bids published in this
issue. Bids for 400 cords each of
willow brush and niger heads are
to be left with Mayor T. J. Hauge-
berg not later than January l, The
bids are to be opened by the U. s.
engineers on January $. The will
lows most be freshly cut, not less
than J nor more than 2 inches in
diameter at butt, aud from is to
30 feet in length. Has anyone ev-
er seen them that high around
here? The niger heads are just
ordinary boulders and now will be
the time for the farmers to get rid
Of all the rocks they have gathered
from their fields by selling them
The government puts a limit on
the size of the rocks. They must
weigh more than 10 and less than
200 pounds.
Revetment work is badly needed
at this harbor and also the work
by the many farmers who had poor
crops but tits regretted that the gov
ernment does not see that it is nee
essary to give more time in which
to send in bids More persons
wonld send them in and probably
lower bids would be sent.

CAUCUS NOT

None of the candidates for
United States Senator before the
legislature opposed the caucus,
but each believed that a Senator
could be nominated before the
day set when the Federal statute
required voting in joint session.
The idea held by some that
Major Vardaman opposed the
caucus is erroneous. We are in
formed that the Vardaman sup
porters were among those who
took an active part in securing
the caucus. twas believed by
his supporters that Major Varda-
man would be nominated not
later than the third ballot in the
caucus.
The caucus has afforded none
of the candidates an opportunity
not enjoyed by every other
candidate and the result would
have been tied up as it is ii
no caucus had been held.

THE PRICE or MEAT.

M ~
The continued advance in the
price of meat has brought forth
vigorous protests from consum
ers in many of the larger cities
and an organized effort is being
made to cut down consumption.
Unions with many thousand
members have signed pledges to
abstain from the use of meat for
thirty days, or until material re-
duction has been made in prices.
This sentiment prevails in the
cities where every pound of
meat consumed must be pur-
chased.
The packers claim there has
been no effort made to combine
for the purpose Of advancing
prices, but the advance
is due to the falling off of
beeves and hogs. Of the latter
a falling off of more than five
million has made PORK scarce
and the advance in prices. Mr..
Armour says, it is due to this
fact. The remedy lies in the
hands of the produced. The con-
sumer must and will have meat
regardless of the price.

United Senates Senate by Sena-
tor Borah for the purpose of
raising money to complete and

opportunity afforded by the ad-

of respect to the memory of Ex-
Governor Lowry, to come home
for a few days to look after pri-
vate business and spend a day or
two with their families. The
Journal has watched with inter-

representatives and feels proud
of the fact, along with their 9TH
friends, that their votes are cast
ON every proposition with the
view Of the best interest Of the

The public drinking cup has
has been abolished by law in
Kansas. No pubkc fountain can
be furnished with a drinking cup
and the railroads have been re-
quired to abolish cups and glasses
on their trains. The fight for
better sanitary methods is
spreading and in a few years
every state will abolish by law

cause of the spread of disease
from such places. 1t is a step

night. Its bright light was also

were aroused from their slumbers
and believed that an earth quake
had visited them.

THE FAIR.


The second annual meeting of
the Try County Fair will be held
this fall and in order that it may
be a complete success we should
begin at once to make prepare
lions for it.
The management did remark
ably well last fall, but with the
experience gained by our first
,ffort we can easily excel the
first exhibition.
In this work every body should
feel an interest and pride and
should be willing to make a per-
sonal effort to show to the out
side world that North Mississippi
S the garden spot of the earth.
We have the resources and
through a combined effort we
AN get together a collection
that will do credit to any section
If the country.
There is a diversity of oppo1-
sunities here that no other Sec
ton offers. The whole range of
agricultural and horticultural
possibilities can be covered in
our fair. In order to do our
selves credit we must begin now
to make the necessary prepare
ton. There will beprizes offer
ed for all products of the farm,
the dairy, the garden, and the
poultry yard; for all live stock;
horses, mules, cattle, hogs and
sheep.
There will also be prizes for
the best in household articles
and the culinary department will
be as is usual, one of the most
attractive and interesting fea-
lures. The ladies' should keep
this we'll in mind and spend their
spare moments in making articles
for display and should lay aside
all recipes for preserving fruits
and making pickles and other
table articles that every house
wife is ambitious to excel in.
The boys and girls will be down
on the program and the corn club
and the domestic science club
will have prominent parts on the
grogram.
The above has been addressed
to the competitors who are ex-
pected and urged to participate
in the exhibition.
Now, a few words to the bust
ness public. Every business
man should begin now to collect
suitable prizes to be offered to
exhibitors in the fair. These
prizes should, in some measure.
furnish compensation for the eff
fort made by the exhibitors to
excel. Let's offer the best prizes
to be had and in order to secure
them we must begin right now
to look out for them.
Every business man should
feel that he is on the committee
to solicit and furnish prizes and
if each will do a full part we will
have next year the greatest fair
ever pulled off in Mississippi.
Let's all get busy.
