WILL GET THE REAL THING
Farmers of North Dakota Will Not
Have to Worry About Tenderfoot
This Season.

Farm hands from the south and
middle west will deprive the college
boys and "city chaps" who take vaca-
tions in the harvest fields, Of their
jobs this year. Instead of worrying
with "tenderfeet' who never saw a
bundle of wheat lying in the stubble,
farmers in the northwest will be able
to employ young men who have cal
louses in their palms and who have
shocked wheat and stood at threshers
since they were in knickerbockers,
says the St. Paul Dispatch.
At the union depot this morning in
coming trains from the south dis
gorged possibly 200 of these sun
burned farmer boys on their way to
the harvest fields. The small restaur-
ants and lunch counters in the vicin-
ity of the station We're busy dishing
out ham and eggs, black coffee, pota-
toes and rolls to the young men, most
all of whom had used seat in chair

The telescope" was in hand, carrying
an extra blue shirt, pair of overalls
and a bandana handkerchief or two
and at least one paper collar. Out
going trains to the Dakotas and the
agricultural sections of this state took
the same young men from town.
"There's nothing to harvest down
our way" said one young man who
had travelled from Oklahoma. Wheat
isn't worth cutting for the straw and
grain didn't grow on the stalks. The
newspapers told about need of men
in Minnesota and the Dakotas and of
81 to $275 a day being paid for har-
vest hands, so we came north to get
work. There are nineteen in our par
ty. All the way through Kansas the
farm hands kept boarding the train
and we picked up a few more from
Missouri when we reached Kansas

TWO MEN Hello FOR
CARRYING BIG
WEAPONS
Search of Home Also Reveals
Firearms-Further Action
Is Uncertain

Edward Mcmahon is being held in
the East Grand Forks Jail and Bert
Allison is in the tolls of the police
here following the rounding up Of
two of three meA whom the police of
the two cities have been watching
rather closely for the past few days.
Mcmahon was taken on Wednesday
night and Allison was arrested this
morning, both men being held on a
charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons. 0. rt.
Officer George Franklin of East
Grand Forks, who was transferred
from the Minnesota point beat to De-
Mers avenue the fore part of the
week. noticed the three men on De-
Mers avenue Wednesday night. Nc
Mahon, who was employed in the Ole
Lukkason restaurant for short time,
was suspected Of having taken a gold
handled umbrella and $25 in cash
from the place where he resigned
his job after having worked for three
days.
Orders were out to apprehend him
and Officer Franklin started after
him. The, three mem headed for the
Northern Pacific tracks and entered
the depot. Franklyn stood outside
where he could watch the doors but
as they failed to show up he went in
side and found that the three had
gotten out of the building by drop
ping out of an open window in the
toilet room.
He started out on search for them
and about 12 o'clock at night spot
ted Mcmahon heading west on De-
Mers avenue. officer Quigley was on
his way home and the fugitive was
fairly caught between the two po-
licemen. He was seized and escort
ed to the Jail where he was search
ed. An excellent Colts 38 caliber
revolver was found on his person,
but there was nothing else beyond
a few pocket trinkets. The revol-
yer taken from his is about fourteen
inches in length and according to
Officer Franklin is one of the best
obtainable. Mcmahon is at the pres
ent time confined in the East Grand
Forks Jail.
The Scene Changes
The next on the program of the po-
lice of the two cities was the arrest
of Allison. His rooms in the south
end of the city where he and his
wife, who is at the present time in a
delicate condition, have been living
for the past month, were visited and
Allison was taken in charge.
This morning thorough search of
the premises was made. His trunk
was opened and number of things
found. A As caliber Colts heavy
service revolver was found in his
trunk. It was freshly oiled and
cleaned and was in perfect working
condition. A leather Chilly" about
seven or eight inches long and
heavily loaded with buckshot, the
thing Weighing about two and one
half pounds, was also found. Alli-
sons wife, who is confined to her bed,
surrendered Smith & Wesson load
ed .32 caliber revolver which she had
concealed under her pillow. A depu-
ty sheriff's star was among the con-
fscated articles and letters founnd in
the trunk lead the police to believe
that the men are from either Kan
sas or Missouri.

As has been explained before, in
order for filter to operate efficient
~ 1t is necessary that the Shiny bac-
terlal growth in the uppel layers be
maintained. To do this efficiently
requires that the filter be kept full
or lowing water as air interferes
with these water bacteria. For this
purpose an outlet should be provid-
ed small enough to make the flow
steady and keep it steady. If large
outlet is used the water, travelling
faster through the lower layers than
through the Shiny upper layers, will
take IN air which greatly binders the
action of the filter. If the filter is
operated continuously, some auto
matte intake device must be provided
to regulate the head by means of a
float. There are several such de-
vices on the market. They consist
of float attached to valve by a
lever.
When filter is first put in opera
ton, the water is not purified effic-
iently until after the gelatinous mass
forms on top of the filter. Because
of this fact the water should not be
used for the first week if better
water is obtainable. After a filter
has been in operation continuously
for some time this gelatinous mass
becomes so thick as to greatly retard
the flow. This condition can be rem
edied either by removing about a
quarter of an inch of sand from the
top or by allowing air to circulate
through the sand. If the former
method is used the operation of the
filter can be Immediately resumed
but if the latter is used it is best not
to use the water for several days.

A southern colonel had a colored
valet by the name of George. George
received nearly all of the colonel's
cast-off clothing. He had his eyes
on a certain pair of light trousers
which were not wearing out fast
enough to suit him, SO he thought he
would hasten matters somewhat by
rubbing grease on one knee. When
the colonel saw the spot, he called
George and asked if he had noticed
it. George said, yes, sab, Colonel, l
