The above corporation was formed in
1905, and was an outgrowth of Walker
Bros, established In 1892. At that time
the firm was located at what is now known
as the Prescott hotel. which was then
called The Argus building. In 1901 j. l..
Hardy bought an interest in the firm and
in 1905 corporation was formed. In 1906
the corporation bought ont the firm OF
Brown & Gage, Mr.. Gage becoming
stock owner in the present company and
accepting position of general superin-
tendent of the plant, which he now holds.
In 1909 the firm added a Autograph de-
partment, putting in a new Offset press
system, which Is the latest model press

ploys forty-hve people, and transacts the
largest bank and county supply business

in fact, carry and manufacture everything
known and needed by Office men. The plant
moved from Broadway in 1905 to First
avenue north into the building owned by
Walker Bros. In 1910 their retail busi-
ness had grown to such an extent that
they found it necessary to install a retail
store, which is called the Annex, and is
located directly east Of the parent concern.

200 per cent. This is an evidence that
business conditions in the state at
large are very good.
For the year 1906 the Fargo Office
received on money order accounts
ss2s,76s.14, while in 1911 the amount
reached s1,O2s, sss15.
The Fargo office issued the past
year $4,000 more of money orders than
Ave years ago and the money orders
paid increased during the same period
about 90 per cent.
The Fargo office is now paying the
rural carriers over the state Of North
Dakota over 100000 per year.
In FIVE years the employees of the local
office have increased from twenty five
to thirty eight.

The postoffice is a very good mirror
of the condition of business in any
community. If the local receipts are
steadily increasing it shows that the
business of the town is growing. If the
receipts are at stand still it shows
stagnation and If the amount paid for
stamps is decreasing year by year it
shows that business conditions are not
in satisfactory condition.
In Ave years the receipts of the Far
go postoffice have Increased from STA
s1O.47 to s12O.sO7.5s. being an increase
Of about 20 per cent.
The Fargo office also receives the de-
posts of the surplus funds of the post
offices Of the state. In 1906 the offices
Of the state sent in s12s.567.2s to Far

paper wrappers and the stock on hand
runs from $4,000 to 100000 all the
time.
For nearly year office supplies for
all postoffices in North Dakota, Mon
tana. Idaho, Oregon. Washington and
Alaska have been forwarded by freight
to Fargo and mailed to their destina
ton through this office.
1t is only five years since the last adj
dition was completed to the federal
building. but it is already far too small
to meet the requirements. and agita-
ton has been commenced looking to the
necessity Of a new government building
for Fargo.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that Uncle Sans business in Fargo Is
rapidly increasing and additional facili-
ties must soon be added in order to
care for the same. All of this indicates
that Fargo's future is decidedly bright.

up nursing and who are eminently fitted for this work in every other way, are obliged to abandon it for the reason that their feet refuse to meet the demands put upon them.
 The first sign that the foot is giving out is q sensation of weakness. It passes off when the foot is allowed to rest, bu, soon returns when the sufferer tries to use the feet again. By and by the dull ache will run farther and farther up the leg; the knee will hurt and then the hip. The dull, constant ache may be enlivenetl by 4 sudden sharp. darting pain, and the patient complains that he has gout or rheumatism.
 If the patient neglects treatment and persists in overuse of the foot he jig driven to abnormal attitudes by the effort to ad- just the weight of the body, and these unnatural attitudes will presently result in a permanent displacement Of bones.

 All the miserable symptoms connected with this trouble are due to the fact tha. the machinery of the foot has broken down, and the weight of the body is too much for it. 1t follows that there will be mau5 degrees of flatfoot, and of the suf- fering incident to it. Naturally heavy person who is obliged to be on his feet n great many hours of the day will suffer more than one of light weight who is in a position where .he can humor his feet. This is why the foot breaks down so often in early adult life, when most per- sons take up their chosen occupation.S
 Such occupations as those of trained nurses, policemen walters and cooks will soon bring to light any unexpected weakness of the foot mechanism and in many cases this weakness is of such a degi ee that the occupation must be changed Many women who wish to take

The patient must learn to throw the weight on the other side of the foot and to this end a shoe with the inner border of sole and heel little thicker than the outer one is often a great help.

People should not fl arch supports at the 1o-cent store any more than they should eyeglasses.

County Cyclone as Fourth That
Has Devastated Wisconsin.

Madison. to the rec
ords at the weather bureau at the
University Of Wisconsin there have
been three disastrous tornadoes, in
which lives were lost in Wisconsin,
previous to the one near GAINESVILLE.
There are also others of more re-
mote date which are not registered.
On July Z, 1877, the little village
of Pensaukee, Oconto county, was to-
tally destroyed by tornado which
passed through the center OF the
town Eight persons were killed and
about fifty severely injured. Nearly
all the houses and outbuildings in
the village were leveled and the loss
to live stock and crops was large.
At Racine on May IS, 1883, a por-
ton OF the city was destroyed by a
tornado and storm in which twenty
FIVE parsons lost their lives and 100
were injured. The property loss
amounted to about 100000.
By far the greatest damage that
was felt by any part of Wisconsin
