Southern Stories.

Tales of the Sunny South in which
will be mingled pathos and bumor
with tears and laughter will be given
by Miss Louise A. Williams the prom
nent Southern Entertainer of Georgia
under the auspices Of the B. P. o. f. at
the B. P. o. B. Auditorium next We'd
nesday evening. July, 18th
Miss Williams has few equals as ra-
contour and impersonator.
Her characterzations concern types
of the old Southern negro-his sup
erstitions, numerous anecdotes, quaint
stories and songs.
Rendered in that soft inimtable dia-
lect which only native of the south is
able to portray, Miss William ms de-
lineates vividly and realistically for
her audience in word pictures the old
bandannaed 'mammies and "aunties'
solemn old "uncles" and fun loving
little rolling eyed pickaninnies, of
Dixie land.
No scenery nor costumes are en-
ployed but it is the art of losing her own
identity in her unique impersonations
with which Miss Williams has made
her hit in all the large cities of the
country.
OF her appearance in the Nations
Capitol, the Washington Star is quoted
Miss Louise A. Williams, delineator
of the old Southern darkey folklore en-
tertained large and brilliant assem-
blage last night in the ball room of the
New Willard with ''rhe South in
Story and Song"
Miss Williams dialect stories were
original and given in the rich quaint
dialect and grooming sweetness of the
old time slave.
Miss Williams wore flower sprigged
organdie gown and pink ribbons and
with her dark curls over her shoulders
she was the girlIsh embodiment of the
Old South of which she told. Most
of her stories have been CLEANED from
the old negroes who still live in the
, South to-day. Her sense of humor is
very keen and she easily carries her
audience amid the scenes characteris-
tics and native frolics of the Southern
regions and at will moved her audience
from laughter to tears.

DESERTER WANTS
old Army LIFE
ARMY DEsERTER APPLYs TO
CHIEF BOWERS AND ASKS TO
BE TAKEN BACK TO HIS OLD
PosT-cHANeEs MIND ABOUT
LOVE FOR CAMP FIRE.

A burning desire on the part Of
Clyde o. Davis, to return to his old
life in the army, which he deserted
July 4. last, caused him to appear be-
fore Chief Bowers of the police de-
partment and ask that he be taken
back to his old army post.
July 4, last year, Davis, who is a
member of Co. /, took a great deal too
much that makes life care free for the
time being, and while under the influ-
ence Of liquor, he deserted the army
and his company which was stationed
at Fort Missoula, Mont
Upon his desertion he came eastward
and finally landed in Fargo, without
having trouble with the officers of
any kind. In fact he has not been
bothered by the federal authorities at
all, which is very unusual, as the army
deserters are usually run down.
Upon coming to Fargo he secured
employment with the Strate dray line
and has been driving a wagon for this
firm for some time. He has always been
an Industrious and faithful worker but
the hours spent upon the wagon seat
have given him a great deal Of time
for reflection over his past life.

Stunt night at the Fargo college
proved big success. The gymnasium
was packed with people who applauded
each stunt loudly. Eighteen organ

all were good. The H. s. Literary
society opened the show with a mock
wedding. Following soon after this,
the German club produced Three
Bears in German.
The illusions of the Sigma Theta
sorority pledges were very good. Fol-

GROUND HOG WILL
LOOK TOMORROW
IF IT IS A BRIGHT CLEAR DAY
ACCORDING TO THE PROPHECY
THERE WILL BE SIX MORE
WEEKS OF WINTER, If CLOUDY,
WINTER is OVER.

Tomorrow is grounding day. Jam
uary has ended and the spring not
so very far away. February is here
the month Of uncertainty so far as the
weather is concerned.
There is consolation, though, the sun
is getting higher all the time and the
snow can't last forever.
On Thursday of this week the
weather will be watched with some
anxiety and interest by folks through
out the country. The old prophecy has
it that If Mr. Grounding sees his shad-
ow he will return to his hole, there to
remain for six weeks. It he does not
see his shadow he will remain outdoors
and winter will be nearly If not quite
ended.
All of which means that If tomorrow
is bright and clear there will be six
more weeks at least of cold weather.
II 1t is a cloudy day winter will be
at an end. But even the majority of
the people who pay attention to
grounding day, do not believe in the
prophecy and these usually wait until
the winter Is over before getting
ready to welcome spring. They are
from Missouri and must be shown.
Foster is preferred by many to the
grounding. He has been doing some
Al forecasting this winter and now
predicts some warm waves for Feb
ruary-one especially strong one to hit
this part of the country about Feb. IL
and to be followed by moderate
weather.

The MERCHANTS
SEEK RELIEF
HEAD OF RETAILERS AsSocIA-
TIoN EXPLAINS OBJECT OF TWO
BILLS NOW BEFORE THE LEG
IsLATURE AND THROWS SOME
LIGHT ON BUSINESS METHODS.

]. T. Nelson of Glen Ullin, president
Of the North Dakota Retail Merchants
association, is in Fargo on business.
He is very enthusiastic over the work
of the association. A year and a half
ago it had fifty-two paid UP members.
1t now has over 500, and within anoth-
er year practically every retailer deal

eve have found a great many adj
vantages resulting from our associa-
tion,'' said Mr.. Nelson today. 1--WE are
not in a trust or combination to in
crease prices or to hold up the con-
sumers Our competition is Just rs
lively and hot as before, but we want
to establish the business on a safer
and a saner basis. We want to help
men who are really honest and to make
others honest who are inclined to be
the other way, when the opportunity
offers Only the dead beats have any
thing to fear from the organization.
Just now" continued Mr.. Nelson,
1--WE are interested in a couple of bills
before the legislature. The merchants
Of the state find themselves badly
| handicapped with the Nelson national
bankruptcy law and the high state ex-
emption law. Behind these two COM
binations there are great opportunities
for fraud, which some crooked mer
do not hesitate to use. Our national
association and the different state or
CARNATIONS are working for the repeal
Of the Nelson cure.
Tn he o. 81 hor fxryr
bills, one Of which is for reduction
IN the amount of exemptions. At pres
ent the owner of 100 acres of land
valued at $1,000 and $1,000 personal
property, can evade payment of hon
estly contracted store bills by resort
ing to the Nelson cure and claiming
his exemptions. We want these ex-
emptions cut in two, making it eighty
acres Of land and $500 personal pro-
perty. We believe this is sufficient
safeguard for every honest man and
the crooked ones certainly need no
more protection.
Another bill in which we are in
terested is to have bills collectable
where they are contracted. farmer
in Cass county runs up bill in Fargo.
He removes to Morton county, almost
across the state and locates. Under
the present law the Fargo merchant
is forced at great expense to follow
him to Morton county to bring an ac-
ton. We contend 1t is only fair that
the Fargo merchant should be allowed
to institute this action right here at
home, where the bill was incurred, and
make the fellow who tries to evade its
payment, come here and defend the
action, right on the ground where he
purchased the goods.
There doesn't seem to be anything
unfair in this position. The merchants
are the men who have to carry farm
ers in bad years. They can't get money
from banks without proper collateral.
We take our chances and help them
along, or some would be thrown on
the county for support. We believe
we are justly entitled to the relief and
the protection we ask"

SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
HAIR


There is nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the color
of the hair. Our great grandmothers
kept their locks soft, dark and glossy
by using a sage tea" Whenever
their hair fell out or took on dull,
faded or streaked appearance, they
made a brew Of sage leaves and APP
piled 1t to their hair with wonderfully
beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
TO the old time, tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
brew. This is done by skillful chem
lists better than we could do it our
selves, and all we have to do is TO call
for the ready made product. Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, con-
tanning sage. in the proper strength,
with the addition of sulphur, another
old-time scalp remedy.
The. manufacturers OF this remedy
authorize druggists to sell 1t under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded If 1t fails to do exactly as
represented.
This preparation is offered TO the
public at fifty cents q bottle and is
recommended and sold by Fout & Por-
terfield.

A BARREL OF FLOUR.

Prof. f. F. Ladd in his latest bull
letin says: What will barrel of
flour make? What will the retail
price Of the finished product pro-
duced from barrel of -four, as
an article of food? The Modern
Miller in discussing the National
Biscuit Co. states that The actual
cost of manufacturing their goods
is small, considering the amoG1t of
the output, as is shown by the fact
that one barrel of -four will pro-
duce an average of over 1900
packages of ginger snaps, retailing
at cents a package, or over 500
packages of social tea biscuits,
which retail at 10 cents" II is
evident. therefore, that barrel of
flour costing the manufacturer say
80 has. with a small amount of
other material added TO it, been
transformed into a product for
which the consumer pays $50 in
the form of ginger snaps, and $50
in the form Of social tea biscuits
or crackers.
