How to Hang a skirt.

There Is a new and very clever de-
vice for measuring a skirt length, and
one which-unlike most of these con-
trivances-may be manipulated with
out the assistance of a dressmaker or
kind friend who will kneel on the floor
while one stands before mirror. The
new skirt hanger" is simply long
rod OF steel with sharp pin that
moves up and down and may be ad-
Justed at any height. If the skirt is
to escape the floor by two inches from
the bottom of the rod, rest the rod on
the floor so that the pin thrusts itself
through the skirt. A twist of the wrist
lifts the skirt and chalk mark may
be placed at the point where the min
goes through the fabric So on ali
around the skirt.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

Chicago, July S0,-The wheat mar
ket opened at a sharp decline for July
with the deferred futures fractionally
lower, Opening prices for the latter
proved the low of the day and q reac-
ton of cent per bushel took place,
the market showing very steady un-
dertone. The strength in corn possibly
helped wheat some but some pressure
was less pronounced than here for sew
eral days Country offerings continue
bother here and the southwest. Re-
ports were current of sales of good
amount of -four for shipment from this
market Minneapolis reports cash de-
mand some better. We feel very firm
on the situation and look for an inn
proved demand for cash wheat from
millers who have been holding off
pending the settlement of the July
future and such demand with smaller
offerings will tend to give us a higher
market.

END OF BIG SHOW
TAXES RAILROADS
BREAKING UP or STATE FAIR
NOT LIKE THE FITTING or A
cIRcUs-ALL ROADS ENTERING
FARGO PREPARED TO HANDLE
EXTRA FREIGHT AND CROWDS.

The breaking up of big show Like
the state fair which closes its weeks
exhibition in this city tonight, calls
for plenty of work on the part Of the
railroads. Handling the exhibits Of a
fair and the shows connected there
with isn't at all like taking care Of
a big circus like the Ringing shows
The latter has it's own force of men
to do the loading on it's own cars and
all is conducted with clock like pre-
cision. but with a fair it Is different.
There are scores of different attrac-
tions, each having to be handled by its
individual owner and his men. Some
go one place and others to different
points, and this makes confusion. The
different roads entering Fargo are all
prepared to handle the going out par
ties from tonight until all have been
taken care Of A car load of horses
will be shipped over the N. F. this
evening to Des Moines, Ia, and next
Thursday the Cimijotti troop of train
ed stations will be shipped to the same
city, where they will appear in two or
three weeks, the horses taking rest
and being put in constant training
from now on. The Ed Evans Cook
show starts away tonight and each
road has its quote of fair stuff and an
imals to haul.

A caller at the First National bank
and other business offices today was
Atty d. J. Gardener of Plattville, Wis.
He said ,Moorhead has become to be
quite an attractive city, with its well
paved streets and elaborate lighting
system and its well kept residence
district, the extensive group of normal
school buildings, Concordia college and
public school buildings were features
not to be overlooked. He owned lands
In the vicinity and was interested and
he could say that there were any
number of towns in the country which
had not advantages to boast about
as Moorhead had. Mr.. Gardener comes
of the lead and zinc regions of his
state and in his town there are 500
men working in the lead and zinc in
dustries. The power for the latter is
electricity which is transmitted from
Galena, ILL.,, a distance of over twenty
five miles and the company supplying
1t has a capacity of 5000 horse power

ANOTHER KNOCK
STORY IS NAILED
YARN TO EFFECT THAT BUSINESS
AT REGISTER OF DEEDS OFFICE
WAS UNUSUALLY LIGHT Is ABB
soLUTELY WRONG, SAYS DE-
Putty REGISTER BROWN.

An erroneos impression has gone
abroad that business in the Office of
the Cass county register of deeds is
exceedingly light just at this time,
whereas, in realty it has not been
heavier in the last fifteen years, either
for tn is month just closing today, or
for this year Just how this impress
sion was formed and the report started
the officials in that office are at a
loss to understand, for they them
selves have not been buster during the
entire summer than at the present
time.
When asked about this lull in the
business in the register of deeds Office,
Deputy w. l.. Brown, this morning,
said: II cannot see just how that idea
has gone out, nor why The Fargo
Morning News published such a state
ment to that effect this morning.
am sure had any of their representa-
tives called on US, they would have
seen without having to be told how
busy we are, and the amount of bust
ness our books show for the whole
year and the month of July"
Mr.. Brown carefully went over the
records of the Office for the past fif-
teen years to compare the fees re-
ceived this month in comparison with
the corresponding months of the last
decade and a half, and at no time has
the business anywhere approached that
done this month. The nearest approach
to the business done during July, 1910,
was in July 1903. when the fees at
that time amounted to within $50 ap-
proximately of what had been done
this month at noon today. All the
rest of the totals for the month of
July for the last fifteen years are
below this months total anywhere from
5000 to $500.
And this doesn't imply that July is
generally a poor or dull month";" con-
tinued Mr.. Brown. For / have gone
over the results of each month this
year and for every month in the last
ten years and the month July, 1910 ex-
ceeds them ALL So why a statement
like that should be published in The
Morning News / do not comprehend,
and / would like it corrected so that
the public will know the truth as it
should
And" he added, II might say that
our fees do not constitute our heaviest
business, for the land trainers this
month are heavier than usual, and
demand SO much of our time, that we
can hardly call a minute our own"
