CROPS ARE FINE
IN NELSON COUNTY

Neville, N. D.. July 14.-And still
we can say that crops in this section
are still in fine condition and pros
poets bright. The weather has been
ideal for the growing grain and a
couple of showers the past week has
added materially.
However the next three weeks are
critical ones as the grain is now head
ing and filling. Without destructive
hot winds or hail storms Nelson coun-
ty will pull through with a glimmering
crop
Reports have gone forth that this
section has been burnt up by drought
and hot winds. This is absolutely false
at this writing as there has been moth
ing to damage the grain and prospects
could not be better.
There are places, however, in the
state that have and are suffering from
lack of rain and even have been touch
ed by hot winds, but we speak for this
vicinity when we mention the fact that
Nelson county is at present enjoying
the brightest hopes in crop conditions.

Michael Clarity Wants a Job as su.
perintendent of the City
Dumping Grounds.

Michael Clarity is after the place
Of superintendent Of the city dumping
grounds which are located just west
of the city limits, and has asked the
mayor for the place.
During the last week Clarity has
circulated petition which has been
freely signed, asking the mayor to APP
point him to the place. Mayor Lowell
in speaking of the matter this morning
to representative OF The Forum,
stated that the signers of the manu-
script were some Of the most influ-
entail and prominent citizens Of Fargo.
The mayor stated that he did not
know what he would do with the pc
tition asking for the appointment Of
Clarity. 1t is claimed that Clarity Is
crippled in one arm and has a large
family which is dependent upon him
for support. 1t is for this reason that
the mayor has been asked to give
him the position, which is more of
experimenting place, than job that
requires a great deal Of physical la
Dor.
The present incumbent of the Office
is William Oshwald and he has held
the place for several years.

TAKES A RAP At
The dead BEATS"
!. w. LUX OF ST. PAUL, AT MINoT,
CALLS SUCH DEBTORS WORSE
THAN ROBBERS.

! Minot, N. D., July IA strong plea
In favor of greater cooperation among
the merchants of North Dakota as well
rs the other states of the union and a
comprehensive review of the beneficial
results of cooperation was made in an
address on Organization, by John w.
Lux of st. Paul, president of the Ma
tional Grocers and Retailer Merchants
association at the convention Of the
North Dakota association.
Mr.. Lux explained how cooperation
among the merchants and the labor or
CARNATIONS had brought about shorter
business hours, the elimination of child
labor to a large extent, the securing of
compulsory education. the punishment
of dead beats" and the promotion of
the mercantile profession.
Mr.. Lux especially urged the mer-
chants to cooperate in war on the
man who makes business Of not pay
ing his grocery bills.
"The dead beat is worse enemy to
society than the burglar or the thief"
said Mr.. Lux. 1.-THE man who holds
you UP at the point Of gun as rule
gets his deserts at the hands Of the po-
lice, but the professional dead beat
goes from city to city robbing the mer-
chants. and seldom Is caught"
Mr.. Lux reviewed the history of CO.
operative stores in Minnesota, stating
that in most instances they have been
q failure. He said history showed that
the individual merchant who made the
profession life study is the best man
to distribute the goods, and that the
CO. cooperative stores are bound to fall
because they do not employ business
like methods.

BOX CAR Held
RIGHT OF WAY

Velva, N. D., July 14.-During the
high wind Monday afternoon an empty
box car in some manner got out on
the main line at Sawyer and due to
the force Of the wind kept moving I'M
til 1t arrived at Velva. AS this took
place about O'clock, it so happened
that train los had to be held at Velva
and 100 at Sawyer until the STRAY carr
had vacated the right Of way and got
in the clear at Velva. This is the first
time that such an event has occurred
in this vicinity, necessitating the tenn
porary suspension of traffic to give an
empty car the right Of way, but it is
only such an occurrence as may be ex-
pected from the changeable North Da-
kota wind.

decks that tells of q riven target.
Down in the turrets Of the great r.
inch guns the gun pointers say they
hear practically no noise at all of the
explosions. Their attention is concen-
trated on the three-foot recoil of the
big monster that they have to neigh
Dor with while at work
The men in the turretsi go about
their labors with the rapt attention of
bookkeepers trying to strike difficult
trial balance. There are leaders, she'll
men, sight setters-one manipulating
the reflections with lamp strapped
on his forehead-all stripped to the
waist. Most of them are gay with
tattoo marks and Goddesses
Of Liberty being the favorite designs.
Usually the pointer is the least mus
cular of the lot. Sometimes he is
milk-cheeked youth with limpid eye
but a sure one. When the huge
breech picks itself up on it's hind legs
and settles back in a quiet recoil, the
men reel off the lightning mechanism
of their drill with confident litheness
that is almost uncanny. They will
even kill a cockroach or two on the
white armor between sa1vos.
The shock. of just one of these great
projectiles, weighing 1,400 pounds, Is
equal to that of heavy locomotive
and five Pullmans crashing into some
thing at the rate of 70 miles an hour
The muzzle energy of one of the big
guns that the new Dreadnoughts carry
is $500 foot tons. To explain in plain
language what this means, suppose
that 16,000-ton battleship be put on
top of a 32,000-ton Lusitania, and one
of the biggest of the Sound steamers
placed on top of that. The total
weight of the three would be nearly
$4,000 tons. Next try to conceive the
power that would be necessary to raise
that huge load. The muzzle energy of
one of these guns is equal to this task.
The energy exerted at the moment of
discharge Is SO tremendous that it
would be able to lift all three vessels
one foot.

CURE THAT CATARRH

Our climate with it's sudden changes
Is conducive to catarrh-which Is
chronic Inflammation of the mucous
membrane surface of head-nose or
throat.
One months local treatment with
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic will con-
vince the most skeptical that Paxtine
is not palliative but specific for all
catarrhal conditions.
: Paxtine is a perfectly harmless an
tiseptic and germicide in powder form
which contains all Of the antiseptic
qualities Of liquid antiseptics, but
with other valuable cleansing, germi-
cidal, and healing ingredients added.
Just little in a glass Of water as
needed-used as a spray and gargle,
will not only remove the accumulated
secretions, but heals the inflammation,
destroys the germs Of disease, and dis
pels the disagreeable odor caused by
chronic catarrh.

Jim jerked the shade down and un-
swathed Aunt Selina's legs so that
she could walk, offered his arm, and
stalked past us and upstairs, without

"Jim!" she gasped do you mean
that Jim is-out there, too?"
Jim and Aunt Selina!" 1 said as
calmly as I could for joy. You see
how it simplified the situation for me.
"By this time they are mile away,
and going"
Everybody shook hands again ex.
cept Bella. She had dropped into a
chair, and sat biting her lip and
breathing hard, and she would not
join in any Of the hilarity at getting
rid of Aunt Selma Finally she got
up and knocked over her chair.

stormed. you deserted them out

Never mind" Dal said, reassuring
ly. "He can borrow Aunt Selina's
comfort. Make the old lady discard
from weakness. Anyhow, Bella, if
know anything of human nature, the
old lady will make it hot enough for
him. Poor old Jim!"
Then they shook hands again, and
with that there came a terrible bang

manded. 1t was one of the guards.
"Open it yourself!" Dallas called

Dallas put his hands in his pockets,
seated himself on the table, and
whistled cheerfully. We could hear
them comforting outside, and they
made another appeal, which was re-
fused. Suddenly Bella came over and
confronted Dallas.
"They have brought them back!"
she said dramatically. ''They are ou-
there now; l distinctly heard Jim's
voice. Open that door, Dallas!"
ooh, don't let them in!" l walled.
1t was quite involuntary, but the dis
appointment was too awful. Dallas,
don't open that door!"
Dal swung his feet and smiled from
Bella to me.
Think what solution 1t is to all
our difficulties" he said, easily.

There was more knocking, and

them in, that it was fool thing any
how, and that he wanted to go to
bed and forget it; his feet were cold.

FISH DEALER MIXED ORDERS
Senator Frye Made Good Showing In
Weight but the Herring Was
Smoked.

Far more unerringly than by any
weather bureau prediction, the ap-
proach of spring is indicated by the
CLEAN of the piscatorial fervor that
irradiates the eyes of Senator Frye of
Maine just before the opening of the
fishing season. During the winter
while the streams are ice bound and
the spruce trees are white with snow,
the senator loves now and then to re-
late fish story.
He tells of a memorable trip on
which Senator Spooner joined him at
his choicest trout stream. They had
it all arranged, after having called into
counsel a reliable fish dealer and a
trustworthy expressman, that a box Of
trout should arrive every other day
at Senator Frye's home to indicate the
success with which they were casting
the fly.
The plan worked beautifully-"of
course we caught some and some we
didn't"-but the expressman was fair
ly regular in the weight of fish for
warded, and the prepaid charges were
about the same from day to day. All
went we'll until one day dispatch
came from the Frye domicile.
Rush two more boxes smoked her
ring. They are great. Are the salt
mackerel running also?"
There was a busy time with the
wires just then, for the fish dealer had
got his orders mixed, and instead of
shipping fresh trout to Frye's home, he
had sent herring-thoroughly smoked.
But the senator was equal to it. Camp
supplies had been mixed with the fish
caught that day-of course. He
hastened his reply:
You received the bait by mistake.
Nothing but smoked herring will ever
catch fresh trout you know"
Senator Spooner usually concludes
the tale truthfully by giving the re-
turn message:
Received the bait, and taken it sic
hook and all.'-National Magazine.
