FRIGHT DRESS"

Editor Wardwell of The Pembina
Pioneer Express gives the people Of the
entire state a valuable bunch in the
following:
When soldiers are marching either in
drill, or in the darkness of the night or
In the binding smoke Of the battle,
they keep their places in line by the
touching of their elbows each to each.
II shot makes a gap in the line, the
order comes "Close up, right dress"
and the men side step to the right, un-
til they feel the elbow of the next man
and then forward again. In the town
or city where the citizen can feel, the
touch of the neighbor on his either side,
there are no gaps in the line and con-
fidenee and progress are certain. But
that citizen must himself also keep IN
line TO feel the elbow touch. And II
he lags behind. the others will miss his
touch as we'll. Pembina needs every
citizen in Right dress"

at Grand Forks, The fun begins to-
morrow Reports from the city down
the Red indicate that elaborate pre-
parations have been made for the BIZ
ennial event, that the entries are
numerous and a great line Of amuse-

The Forum hopes the weather will be
perfect and the attendance will be
large, Grand Forks has lot of boost
ers who have done great deal OF hard
work and they deserve success. Presi-

are experienced hustlers.
Next year Fargo will endeavor to
make a bigger and better state fair
than Grand Forks is doing this week.
Fargo has great opportunity to en-
gage some experienced publicity ex-
pert now who could be secretary both
Of the commercial club and the fair as

WHO DRINKS THE RoozE9

The prohibition movement has swept
the south, and year by year, the man
who drinks finds it harder to get or
keep job. There is plenty of evidence
all about us that excessive drinking is
on the decline. Yet year after year.
the government statistics and the
whisky distillers' and the breweries' re-
ports show that more booze is manu-
featured than ever before. One won
dsrs what becomes Of all this extra
booze. Somebody drinks 1t in all prob
ability. 1t cannot be the cat. An
eastern newspaper in commenting on
the last report of the United States
Brewers association, says:
The spread of prohibition has af-
fected the trade considerably" saws
the current annual report OF the United
States Brewers association. And then
come the associations statistics show
Ing sales Of 100000 barrels of beer
during the fiscal year to July /, an in
crease of 81 per cent over the previ-
Gus year; and sales of $146,973,O0O
worth OF hard liquors, or Sc per cent
increase. In just what way, then, did
the spread Of prohibition affect the
trade considerably?
II 10 an interesting problem to be
sure. The prohibition territory spreads
and more and more states go dry
while the distillers and breweries put
on extra forces to keep up with the In
creasing demand for their stun. Who
can solve the puzzle?

SUNDAY EVENING NEWSPAPERS

New York now has it's first Sunday
evening newspaper, The New York
Telegram which is the evening issue
OF James Gordon BENEFITS New York
Herald.
July rs saw the first copy of the pa
per, and dispatches indicate that 1t
sold web and seemed to meet a demand
! which nobody ever tried to supply
until Frank A. Munsey began printing
Sunday evening newspapers In wash
ington, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
For more than two years the Nun
sey Sunday evening papers have been
published in the three cities mentioned.
Mr.. Munsey insists they have been a
success In every way. In his opinion
the six-day evening paper is e thing
OF history In great cities.
Here II his argument in favor of the
Sunday evening newspaper:
We DO not fast from eating on Sum
day evening more than on any other
day of the week. We are quite as nor
NAL and human and natural as on the
other days Of the week when the even
Ing paper has become necessary part
Of our home life. That this news fea-
ture Of our lives should be interrupted
on Sunday, that the inflow of the news
Of the day. the news OF the world
should be denied to us on Sunday

ers leave the city for week -ends-and
consequently are not there to read 9

much the matter with the baby-just
got a little toothache, that's ALL"
you might naturally suppose that
Bon would kick against anyone fooling
with his jaws, but he seemed to know
instinctively that the doctor was there
to help him. SO when the doctor cleaned
out a cavity in one of his teeth as well
he could and sprayed little antiseptic
solution into it and plugged up the
hole with fist full of amaIgum, he
never whimpered and kept his mouth
wide open without the slightest urg-
ing.
1t is often said that a person in a
state Of great excitement or Impotence
"sweats blood" but IL isn't generally
known that there is one animal at least
which actually goes through that pro-
cess under certain conditions.
According to the Sells loto trainer,
the hippopotamus literally "sweats
blood when the temperature Is lower
than he is used TO. Curiously enough,
this fact was first brought to the
trainers attention while preparing TO
take the hippo's picture.
II was cold day and the beast was
loath to leave the warm water of his
tank. He was prodded and pushed
however, to such an extent that he was
finally Obliged to face the camera.
In very few moments the keeper
discovered that his subject was COW
cred with bloody froth, which oozed out
of his pores. Fearful that the animal
would catch cold, he was allowed to
return to the water without being
snapped" and the pool was immediate
ly discolored as result of the bloody
excretion.
Further investigation revealed that
the red fluid was indeed blood serum
which was brought to the surface OF
the animals thick skin by the cold at
mosphere.
Though the hippopotumas is a very
tinid animal despite it's huge size and
great power, it "sweats blood" not
through fear or anger, but from the
cold, to which it is not by nature ac-
customed.
The Sells-F1oto shows come to Fargo
on Monday. July 81. 1t must not be for
gotten that this year the price OF adj
mission has been cut in half, fact
which will undoubtedly tend to make
this ever popular attraction still more

QUEEN HUMAN. SAYS HARDIE.
"She is Not Doll. But a Woman of
Capacity"

London, july 24.--In the midst OF his
tedious abuse or tne king and royal
family, Mr.. Kerr Hardie allows himse'f
to admit implicit faith In queen.
Il confess he says, ito a weakness
for that good lady. She is the only
royal person / have ever seen who
rocks like healthy human being. She
is not of the wax doll or professional
type OF beauty. But she is handsome
woman. or what in Scotland would be
called bonnie woman. hear on
every hand that she IS hard natur-
ed woman. The statement is a libel.
Queen Mary's features are those of a
woman of capacity. To see her with
her children. as have, and to note
her hearty laugh and the perfect con-
fidence existing between mother and
sons, is all the proof needed Of her
womanliness."
