Tales Of the Street

The deputy clerk of the North Da-
kota supreme court, Charles Wattam,
is genial fellow and is noted the city
over and, in fact, wherever he has been,
for his many little deeds of kindness
and for his generosity to his friends.
One of his chief Characteristic, which
has won him so many friends, is his
thoughtfulness of others, for Charlie
is always there when 1t comes to help
ing his friends out OF a dilemma and
to relieving them of care.
But there was time, so 1t is told,
when Charles was sadly lacking In
these OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES he was a
real mischievous little scamp, in the
days OF not far forgotten tender youth,
when he liked to get most everybody
into trouble and skip out himself and
then gloat over their unhappiness. AT
school he was always on hand 1t is
said, when IL came to instigating a lit
tie prank on the teacher or someone of
his playfellows, but he was clever
enough to be decidedly out OF it when
1t came in for taking the blame for
the misdemeanor.
Mr. Wattam was in Fargo yester-
day on his way to Bismarck from
Grand Forks, where he has been taking
case during a brief sitting Of the
supreme court there. Some friends saw
him at the Northern Pacific station and

FIRST AVENUE PAVING.

1t was matter Of regret with a
great many people Of Fargo that First
avenue north between Fifth and Rob-
erts streets had not been paved before
the recent u. c. T. convention. For
four or FIVE years the street has baen
torn up continuously. Construction
work along both sides has now been
completed and repaving should be hur-
ried. City Engineer Anders has had
men on the street two or three times
squirting through their instrumets and
waving frantically at one another
with occasional wigwags-and things.
1t is to be hoped the contracts will
soon be let and there will be some way
of travelling over one of the busiest
streets in the city with less discona-
fort than for the last several years.

THE 1911 CROPS.

Lest the heart Of man gets too swell
ed up and the breastbone of the aver
age North Dakotan become too much
like a pouter pigeon-the following
from The New York Journal of Com
nerce should be read:
The yearly harvests are of SO much
importance in this country. not only ia
the farmers but to transportation com
panles, to industries generally and to
domestic and foreign trade, that Ii Is
natural that their prospects should be
closeiy watched and ejaculation of their
results made at every stage from plant
ing to harvesting. The prospects for
the present year are bright Just now.
but 1t is too early TO count with conf
dence upon the outcome. The high
prices of the last two years have re-
suited in an increased acreage devoted
to staple crops, and that in itself gives
promise OF larger production. Besides,
the spring conditions have on the whole
been favorable for cotton and wheat,
which may be regarded as the leading
crops from the point of view Of com
m@rce.
AHe HTsL grain crop TO be counted
upon ID that of winter wheat, and there
il warning in the fact that the official
reports for June ! show considerable
decline in condition during the month
OF May, leaving 1t but slightly above
that OF last year, though at the begin
ming of May 1t was much more pronais-
ing. On account of the increased acre
age the indicated yield" at this time
Id 479.915.0O0 bushels, compared with
the actual harvest of 464,044,00O bush

Tor some injury to winter wheat, but
fair crop seems to be assured The
calculation that the total wheat pro-
duction Of the year will, according to
present indications. reach T64, 2s6, 900
bushels, the largest on record, depnds
almost wholly upon the spring wheat
yield. and that is subject yet to pretty
much ali the vicissitudes that ever be-
set It's growth.

TUESDAY, JUNE is, tstt.
FLAG DAY.

Tomorrow is Flag day. Next to July
4, there is no day in the year that
should more strongly appeal to the
patriotic instincts Of the American
citizen. 1t is a day set apart that those
who have lived under the protecting
Stars and Stripes may show their love
and affection for the proud emblem
which floats over the greatest nation
on earth.
1t is no idle boast that where Old
Glory waves-it is an emblem of liber-
ty, progress and happiness--and. as
such, is entitled 10 respect and love.
The people Of Fargo are as patriotic
as those of any other section of the
country. They should demonstrate this
tomcrrow--by getting out their flags
and floating them to the breezOs.
Every public building, every business
house and every home should be decor
atsd with an American flag.

last year and the June / condition was
decidedly promising. As rated by the
crop reporting board il was s4.6, com
pared with 92.S last year. IL Is this
acreage and condition upon which the
large estimate for the total wheat crop
is based. but the indicated yield last
year at this time on the reported acre
age and condition was over 702, 900, 900
bushels, while the actual harvest was
only 684,00O,000. During the next two
months there Is liable to be too much
rain or too little, and spring wheat is
subject to maladies and pests the ex-
tent of whose ravages cannot be fore
seen. This only implies that prospects
calculated upon present acreage and
condition are not to be too confidently
accepted for estimating actual harv-
ests.
The oats crop, which is of consider
able Importance, is likely to be smaller
than last year. The acreage is smaller
and the condition at the present stage
of growth is less promising. The big
gest of all our crops In value, though
1t contributes comparatively little d.
rectly to foreign trade, is that OF corn.
Nothing definite is heard from that yet,
but it is late in beginning and rapid in
its growth when started, IL weather is
favorable Its value Is apt not to be
fully appreciated, but it furnishes
largely the material for our meat and
dairy products and is a crop for which
ocr country has an advantage over all
others. Crop prospects are. TO say the
least, cheerful at present and If
promise is fulfilled the harvests Of the
year may be a harbinger Of renewed

NUMBER OF QUESTIONS.

At the closing meeting Of the year
of the town criers. Fred r. Hall OF
st. Paul, advertising manager OF
Finch, Van slyck & Mcconville, one
Of the largest wholesale houses OF
the northwest, delivered most help
full talk on Advertising That Begets
Confidence.
Mr.. Hall handled his subject in an
able manner and gave one of the most
beneficial talks that has been heard
at the town criers since it's organiza-
ton. Not only did he succeed in rous-
Ing much interest in his topic and his

ing the city Of st. Paul as the meeting
place Of the 1912 convention Of the
national association of Advertising
Clubs Of America, which holds its an
nual convention this year in Boston.
Mr. Hall is not an orator nor does
ne claim to be but at once plunres
into his subject and hits rock bottor,
he calls a spade a spade and sneaks
with conviction.
Outlining some Of the methods by
which his own house is rendering val
liable service to its patrons, he laid
much stress upon plain and truthful
advertising, which he said was the
KIND that won in the end. He decried
the furbelows In advertising. said n

he advocated every man writing
his own advertising, believing that
better results may be obtained through
the simpler efforts OF the small dealer
who feels that he should call mo-,
an advertising expert.
mention was also made of the house

WEDDING SUGGESTIONS.

Superstition hovers about weddnigs--
especially June weddings. Great care
must be exercised by the bride il she
wishes to insure her future happiness
and keep all the nervous members OF
her family from falling in collapse.
II the bride should absent mindedly
eat pickles at her wedding dinner I'M
requited love will be her lot.
The bride who tries on her wedding
gown before the ceremony win never
be happy.
All brides upon whom the sun shines
win be happy-and conversely a rainy
wedding day means fearful life.
Bad luck will pursue the bride who
does not step over the doorsiIl of the
church with her right foot.
1t is good luck for bride to kiss a
baby just after the wedding ceremony
1t is bad luck for bride to keep any
of the pins used in her bridal gown.
II any of the dishes at the bridal
dinner are passed to the left i'll for
tune viii pursue the couple.
II crow appears near the house or
church while the ceremony is being
pronounced bad luck win attend the
principals.
A widow in attendance at a wedding
viii bring bad luck unless a widower
or bachelor Is also in attendance.
1t is extremely bad luck for the bride
and bridegroom to tell anyone where
they are going on their honeymoon.
1t Is bad luck IL the bride and BRIDE
groom stand at right angles to the
cracks in the floor.
These are but few of the pitfalls
which must be watched by the Young
folks who are plighting their troth.
However, all of them have been thor
oughly tested in various localities
and are entitled to the credence Of
persons about to marry. 1t is a little
difficult to understand how a bride
would manage to get her gown pro-
perly fitted were she not to try it on
before the wedding. 1t is also a little
Disappointing to learn that brides have
pins in their gowns.
Can It be possible that on such an
important occasion young woman
will risk her fate on such a frail thing
a2 pin?
