United States Steel common, while first in
volume, did not, however dominate the
trading TO such an extent as on Monday,
it's total of 20 l40 shares being less than
one-third of the grand total OF $500
shares. Reading was second. with $50
shares. Floor trading sentiment shifted
several times during the day. The earliest
attitude opposed a further improvement
extensive short covering movement
which was Of rather hurried character
in some sections of the list The 1nal
trading view was again rather bearish,
the fact that Steel common had failed to
make any Roadway on a day fixed for the
publication Of a quarterly earnings state"
ment being construed unfavorsbly. De-
tailed operations follow.

DO 70 WET YOUR LEAD PENCIL,

The act Of putting lead pencil to the tongue
to wet it just before writing, which is habitual
with many people, is Of the oddities for which
1t IL hard to give any reason unless 1t began in
the days when pencils were poorer than now, and
was continued by example to the next generation
says Graphite. A lead pencil should never be wet
1t hardens the lead and ruins the pencil The
fact is known to newspaper men and stenographers.
But nj arly everyone else does wet pencil before
using it, The fact was definitely settled by
newspaper clerk away down east Being Of ma
thematical turn of mind he ascertained by actual
count that Of fifty persons who came into his ofice
to write an advertisement or church notice FORTY
nine wet pencil in their mouths before using it.
Now this clerk always the best pencils cherish
ing good one with something of the pride of
soldier feels in his gun sword, and it hurts his
feelings to have his pencils spoiled But poiteness
and business considerations require him to lend
his pencil scores Of times day. And often after
it had been wet till it was hard and brittle ana
refused to mark his feeling would overpower
him. Finally he got some cheap pencils and sharp
ened them and kept them to lend. The first per
son who took the stock pencil was drayman.
whose breath snelled Of onions and whskey. he
held the point in his mouth and soaked 1t several
minutes while he was torturing himself In the
effort to write IN advertisement for missing bull
dog, Then 4 swsst looking young Lady came into
the ONCE with kid gloves that buttoned hall the
length Of her arm. She picked up the same old
pencil and pressed it to her dainty lips preparatory
to writing an advertisement for lost bracelet
The clerk would of stayed her hand even at the risk
OF 4 box Of the best Dixon pencils but he was too
late And thus that pencil passed from mouth to
mouth for q week. Il was sucked by people OF all
ranks and stations and all degrees of cleanliness
and uncleanNness. But twere web to fofbear.
Surely no one who reads this will ever again wet
q lead pencil.

The following from the Daily CapitalJournal OF
Pierre South Dakota, will prove of more than pass
ing interest here:
The cement walk builders have called our atten-
ton to the fact that many walks being ruined by
children using roller skates At first glance this may
not strike the average person as being TACT but
experience has shown that the steel rollers Will
break the edge of the cement blocks on the walks
and after this edge is broken and the finish peneat
ed, it will be but short time until these walks
will begin to show wear After the finish Is broken
on cement block any place it soon will be injured
BY reason OF the exposure alone This is matter
that should receive regulation by the city officials
rs it is an expensive proposition to build sidewalks
A the roller skaters have not interfered with any
one on the walks the damage they are doing has
not been fully understood"

Minot will make the greatest strides during the
present year. the history Of the best little city
In the Northwest. The Independents mathematician
has Just concluded that the improvements that have
either been started this year. being projected
to start within few weeks aggregate million
dollars. Why, Minot has just started to grow. In
five years our city will have doubled in population,
for there is nothing to check the growth of Mnot,
which will make this city the most important in the
entire state The normal school will add thousand
or two to our population when it gets going full
blast. The new brquetting plant that will be In
operation by August first, means wonders for Minot
az a manufacturing point. The business man who
has foot hold in Minot is indeed fortunate and the
farmer who land within marketing distance
of this city should thank his lucky stars Minot''
best days are to come.

Last week, the Independent presented some figures
pertaining to the poor farm that proved of interest
to the tax payers. A farmer reader of the lnde-
pendent writes that we made mistake when We said
there were a dozen inmates at the farm claiming
that there are but six or eight besides couple OF
hired men and as many hired girls. Be that ~ It
NAV it is unfortunate that so much money has been
spent for improvements and for the farm, 900
over, and at a point several miles from a railway
station How much better it would have been to
have secured few acres in the valley, protected
by hills and trees, where the farming would consist
of light gardening. The Ward county poor farm
will never be self sustaining, let alone paying the
county anything on the enormous Investment.
A good many of the newspapers seem to think
that the hail insurance will prove fine thing

stopped to consider that the does not obgate
itself to pay for losses unless there is money in the

they will be paid pro ratio We not plugging

nothing to do with state hail insurance until the
law is amended.
