DRY GOODS STORES DECIDE tt
REMAIN CLOSED EVENINGS
DURING HOLIDAYS.

Saginaw, Mich, Nov. 2s.-Christmas
shopping will have to be done early in
the local dry goods establishments, for
they have made an agreement to close
their places Of business at 6 O'Clock
during the holiday season and not keep
open in tho evenings as has usually
been the case. Saturdays of course,
are excepted.
One of the dry goods men said of
the decision:
"Wc have come to the conclusion
that the move will be wiser all around.
Our clerks and employees desire to ne
| joy the, Christmas festivities as do 9th
er people, but are in no condition to
do so when they are obliged to work
until all hours night in and night out
preceding the Christmas time,
cit also strikes us that the clerks
and employees while working reasonable
hours and not such as to over fatigue
them, are better able to devote them
selves to the wants of the customers
so that the purchasing public will ben
eft largely by the departure. The PEG
pie about the stores will be able t.
give the buyers better attention, ant
we believe the departure will result il
better satisfaction all around"

BISMARCK COUPLE CHUNG TO
EACH OTHER ON RAILROAD
BRIDGE AS TRAIN PASSES.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 24.-When the
friends of Miss Resale Preston and
Harry Roseau, two prominent young
people residing near st. Anthony,
heard that they had been driven into
Mandan to be married, large chart
vari party fastened in autos to the
Morton county seat to give them an ap-
propriate send-off. The newly weds
were given a tip by friends over the
phone and decided to hurry to Bis
marck to catch train No. 2 for their
honeymoon trip, thus giving their
friends the slip. They telephoned to
Hinckley's barn at Bismarck to have
hack meet them at the bridge, and
drove to the Mandan side Of the bridge
in a sleigh. They started to walk
across to the Bismarck side, but when
only half way across through freight
train came around the bend by the In
dian school. The young wife became SO
frightened that she tainted, and mar
rowly escaped plunging into the river
below. Young Roseau gathered her in
his arms and leaped to the top of one
of the piers few feet below and re-
manned there until the train pounded
past. He revived his wife by washing
her face with snow and although lit
tie shaky, she finished the trip across
the bridge in safety. Roseau said that
if he had to face the altar again, he
would take chance with the rice and
old shoes and not risk his life in such
a manner again.

CONDUCTOR ON GREAT NORTH
ERN TRAIN LEADS AN INTER-
EsTING LIFE ON FARM.

Devils Lake has the distinguished
honor Of being at one end Of the limo
where Charles Bryant, conductor on
1875 and 1876, runs into. Being a rail
road man does not interfere with his
being one Of the most prosperous farm
ers.
Mr.. Bryant has held the run form
st. John to Devils Lake on the Bran
don line for a good many years. Each
morning before he leaves home, which
is on the farm, he attends to his own
chores, sees that the cows are MIXED
and separates the cream, and more
than that, has customers along the line
who think that he serves out cream and
milk that is just little bit better than
the rest.
Upon arriving home at night he
again dons the overalls and with the
vim Of a prosperous famer digs in and
does the evening chores. He has moth.
ing but registered cattle on the farm
and even down to the chickens takes
particular pride in keeping only the
best, some of his fowls and numbers
from his herds having won prizes at
exhibition shows.
No matter whether it is cold OF
pleasant weather he always figures on
the disposition Of SO much produce on
his trips and is always sold out when
he arrives at this end Of the line.

PEN AND INK DRAWINGS OF THE
CHARLES PIANIST ARE EXCEP-
TIONALLY FINE.

A collection Of drawings and paint
ings that it is expected will be placed
on exhibition at the Mid-Winter fair
is one that has been done by Miss
Peavey, the pianist at the Charles the
atre, who possesses a rare talent in
that line.
The collection includes number of
pen and ink drawings, pastel and cray.
on work and oil paintings. Miss Pea
vey is very modest regarding her abil'
ity and claims that it is merely pas.
time to while away the idle hours.
Local critics who have examined the
collection state that it is one of the
best that they have ever seen in this
part of the country and its exhibition
at the fair will be looked forward to
by lovers of artistic work in Devils
Lake.

MAN WITH PACK ON HIS BACK
WOKE UP NEIGHBORHOOD
LAST NIGHT,

Unable to state where he lived, his
business or what he wanted, a man Of
uncouth appearance was found wander
ing around in the vicinity Of School
avenue this morning, awakening the
residents of that part of the city, in
quiring where he should find his home
In answer to one business man who
slcepily answered the summons at his
outer door the man responded that he
Iived at the ten cent store" To an
other he asserted that his home was at
"the electric light plant. The man
was finally directed to the Great Nor
them depot where he was told that it
would be to his advantage to take the
train out of the city.
The man carried an emlgrant's pack
on his back and it is believed that he
was mentally deranged. Nothing has
been heard of him this morning and it
is believed that he took the train for
some other town.

low these directions in sending in
your sample for inspection:
l. Select ten ears uniform in length,
with straight rows as we'll filed towards

will not shell. ..
3. If you cannot come to the judg
ing send your sample by express or

dents Office on or before Dec. LIST.
4. The boys and girls who wish to

LAND VALUES.

cheaper lanQS nave Deen the means
Of inducing many good farmers in this
state to sell their lands here and re-
move to Canada in the belief that bet
ter returns may be accomplished by
the cultivation Of the cheaper lands to
be obtained there but careful mathc-
NAUTICAL consideration Of the subject
and facts connected Herewith reveals
the fact that under present conditions
by the cultivation of say 3 acres for
example to equal amounts of wheat,
fax and barley under the same con-
ditions for ten years that the differ
ence in the prices received here for the
grain produced would net the producer
in ten years $40 per acre.
This does not seem possible at first
thought but here are the facts: At
Hansboro, N. D., today large quaint
ties of wheat are being marketed from
many miles across the Canadian Dor
der which is bought in bond at IA
cents per bushel under the price Of
North Dakota wheat, large quantities
of flax and barley are also being mar
keted at the same point from Canada
after paying a duty of 25 cents per
bushel for flax and IS cents for barley.
The yield per acre.
Wheat, Is bushels at IA cents
difference per acre...................$ 2.lO
Flax, 20 bushels at 25 cents,
difference per acre-..................... 800
Barley, 40 bushels at 35 cents,
difference per acre...................14.O 90
Total for acres.....................$2l III
A trife over an average Of $500
per acre each year and for ten years
$1,000 per acre and the fact that this
grain is being hauled a long distance
to obtain these prices is conclusive that
! we're it marketed at their home market
the price would be yet smaller and the
expense Of hauling the grain long
distance must also be taken into con-
sideration, and everything the farmer
has to buy in the way Of machinery in
Canada is much higher in price than
here.
From this it would appear to us that
our lands in Ramsey county are today
better value at $1,000 an acre than til
same land across the border at moth
ing, and where lands are found across
the border which produce greater yields
than ours it will be found that as well
as yet lower market there will be
found frost danger and Inconvenience
to market to more than offset the diff
ference in yield; then why sell your
land here at any price to buy land al
from $500 to $4,000 an acre in Can
adaq

Some will, of course, laugh at this

When have told these things to parties

but they have no weight with them. It
seems.
Do the people decorate the graves of
soldiers because of the good they have
done for their country, or do they do II
for show? They seem to go to an extra
amount OF expense for the soldier after
he is dead, but pass him by unrecog-
niZed while he is still a simple mortal
being. When he becomes immortal he
will need not their aid. 1t is very ap-
parent that the patriotism of many
only go so far as their bank account,
and there it hats.
Do they realize the fact that had IT
not been for the American soldier in

are now enjoyed BY the wealthy would
not have been possible at the present
time?
But, thank God, for the peace we now
enjoy, which was brought about through
