securities suddenly were affected. The
sun rose as usual and set as usual
People went TO work and returned
from their labors Trains ran and ma
chinery whirred. but lot of talented
persons acted as IL the world were
coming to an end--and all because
those two gentlemen referred to had
disagreed. and were pulling and haul
ing each other.
You would not think little thing
like quarrel Between two gentlemen
in Wall Street would affect the dia-
mond market, but 1t did. Nobody want
ed to buy diamonds. The stringency
could not have come at a more inap-
propriate time for the Arm of Hodgns
& Ward. They had sold what was for
them considerable amount of stuff,
but they had not been paid for It, They
had connections with Paris and Am
sterdam houses, and had a good many
bills TO meet on which they could not
get extensions. And they did not have
a bank balance of any great mobility
Of proportions.
Mr.. Ward did not worry, but Mr..
Hodgins did. The struggle down in
Wall Street had lasted for several
weeks, and some persons thought the
whole business fabric was being shat
tered. Mr.. Hodens, who was given
to reading everything that was pessi-
mistic and gloomy. feared there was
more truth than poetry in the dire
forebodings

many advantages he had to promote
their business. But. sad TO relate,
Ham rarely sold anything unless his
friends, knowing of his connection
with the diamond house, saw, or thought
they saw, an opportunity to get a
greater bargain through him than they
could get through other channels. Mr..
Hodgins had hopes whenever Hamilton

ket place, and proceeded to bleed the
victim in the most artistic way.
Seemingly young Ward enjoyed him.

man as he had in the days of mis- great

would take a good many years TO
sober him and bring him to the class

had reason to know that If he did not

fairs were not at all well with the

STAYED his time. Younger and more
energetic men were taking business
from him. His fortune was almost
gone.
This was the situation when one of
those peculiar episodes in Wall Street
brought about hurricane OF the
money market. Some gentleman Of
large enterprises and an acquiring dis
position saw something another gen
tleman had that he thought II would

gentleman did not wish to let go what

to grab something the acquiring gem

instance 1t would be necessary for him
TO use to advantage the acquaintance
ship that heretofore had proved so
costly. Father and son discussed the
three lines in detail Then the young
man. with fine discrimination and some
presence of mind, considering the men
tai shock he had received. selected the
diamond field. 1t looked most like
ready money. He always had liked
diamonds, anyhow. 1t would not re-
quire any money to launch him as
BOND seller or as a peddler OF life in
surance, whereas there might be an
anchor to windward In the proposition
the old man set forth in regard to the
diamond business The elder Ward
was willing to put UP $4,000 to estab-
/ lish his son as partner with a rather
staid and steady person named Hold
gins.
1t was a dreadful experience for
Hamilton for the first six months or
| so. To get down town at 10 o'clock in
the morning was absurd, II not actual,
brutal. in the light that his retiring
hour for years had been when the
milk wagons came out. 1t was diff:
cult to see why he should allow bust
ness to interfere with pleasure, and
II he had not been so extremely good

criticisms and complaints of Mr. Hold
gins.
Mr.. Hodgins could not resist him any
more than could the elder Mr.. Ward.

Always On Hand

You can buy a months supply
Of Van Camps at time. Then
you have milk or cream when
ever you want it. No shortage,
no waste. An opened can keeps
until you use i. up.
And you have milk without
without danger of infec-
ton. Milkman's milk, unless it
Is pasteurized, has millions Of
germs in every drop. Think what
It means to serve on your table
an utterly sterile milk. You will
never serve any milk but Van
Camps when you learn the facts
about it.

Madam

1t is needless and wrong TO take
chances on milk. You can get
the finest milk from high-bred
COWS for less than you pay your
milkman. And it comes to you
pasteurized-free from germs.
There is no better milk pro-
duced in the woTld-no cleaner
milk, no richer milk than you get
when you buy Van Camps. 1t
is always fresh and always the
same. A million homes are en-
joying it. Why don't you try it
in yours?

Its Little Cost

This ideal milk, it is strange to
say, costs less than milkman's
milk. We save you the cost of
the daily delivery. And we saws
you all the waste. In the aver
age home, the use of Van Camps
cuts milk bills right in two.
How can you cling to milk,
wagon milk when such milk a.

just Rich,
Pure Milk

We have dairies in seven states
each in the hear, of a great
dsirying section. The milk fresh
from the COW is put into a clean
copper vacuum. There, in mod
crate heat, two-thirds Of the water
is removed by evaporation.
That is all we do to i, before
the milk is sealed up in cans.
Nothing whatever is added. The
sealed-up milk is then pas,.ur-
lied so no germs can exist in II.

4 NEW sALEMrourR
RELIEVED OF MONEY IN FARGO

The Fargo Daily News of March third
had the following story OF swindle' on a
New Salem boy:
Yesterday afternoon about $3.50 "a
young man. whose name is Christ Balm,
whose home is at New Salem. this
state, was on the street when he was
approached. by a man with gray hair
we'll dressed and apparently about 50
years of age. The two engaged in con-
versatjon and the stranger told the youth
that he owned several stores out in the
west and a wanting to take back a
clerk with him. After some time he
said he thought Balm just suited him.
The two became friends and walked
about for some time. when the man with
the gray hair said to the new Salem
boy:
1--WE got to have 5000 at once. Have
you got it,"
mo, I have just $20,' was the re-
Spouse. and the stranger..asked the boy
for the $40 for a minute or two, while
he went into the p%ostoffice. and secured
it. When he started away the boy
asked for his money, but the man thrust
q ring with a glass setting in his hand,
saying it was worth $50 and that he
would be back--from the bank..in twenty
minutes. The boy followed him into
the %postofice, but the fellow was slip
perry and managed to get out of another
door and away.
Balm hurried to the police station and
reported his loss. The department of
Moorhead was notified and. the New
Salem youth sent across the river to
point out the man should he be- seen.
Chief Malvey, when given the descrip-
ton of the party last evening, at once
located the man and placed him under
arrest. file was taken to the Moorhead
prison, and there Balm had no trouble
identifying him as the man who secured
his money.
On the road over, in company with
Capt. Dahlgren. Chief Malvey and other
witnesses the fellow admitted he had
received the money and said:
why. the fellow looks big enough 10
take care of himself"
He gave the officers three of four
different names across the river and told
Chief Bowers that his name was Pat
Murphy. In his pocketbook were found
checks made out but not presented. He
will be charged in the morning with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
No money of any consequence was found
on his person. He told the officers thai
he had spent Wednesday night in the
Lally block across the river. 1t is likely
that his photograph will be sent to otheI
cities as it is believed that he is vel
known elsewhere.
The ring was a common brass affail
with q glass setting that wouldn't b.
worth over a cent or two. Young Bohn
was visiting his brother, who is
student here. and was to have returned
home this evening, but the affair of tn
afternoon relieved him of all his none,
except is cents.

Value of Cooking Feed.

The North Dakota Agricultural col.
lege makes this statement: ITO learn
the value of cooking feed for live
stock, extensive trials were made at
the North Dakota experiment station
in feeding hogs and cattle raw feed
and cooked feed. 1t was found that
more pounds of gain were made from
q given amount of feed when fed raw.
Potatoes were an exception, as they
gave the best returns when cooked.
