Abroad the expense is increased by
the higher cost Of gasoline and by the
fact that paid chauffeurs or mechani-
clans are more generally used. Other
wise the foreign upkeep would be less
on account Of lower wage cost.
The $3.50 a year would not include
those numerous special APPLIANCES that
are SO generally in use. Chauffeurs
also are common. especially in the
cities. and, II taxicab chauffeurs are
added. would certainly total 10000

The o S of upkeep in this country
alone for 1911 is placed al s144.OO0.-

which the automobile has been a COM
mon means of conveyance, would not
average less than $500 300. 900 a year.
The early machines. though few in
number, were extremely expensive
toys.
There are no figures extant that
give a complete showing of the num-

becomes out of date it is sold from
the large city to the small town, and
from there into the country on to
some less progressive section. But
few Of the cars in use during the first
two or three years Of the decade are
now serviceable. In addition it is es-
timated that $4,000 cars have been
ruined in accidents, firse, etc. It is
probably a small figure to place the
number Of carr discarded during the
ten years at $4,000. with an average
value Of $500, making a total of
$4,000 0 to be added to the total
expenditures for the ten years.

The story of the energy of this
county is unique in the annals OF state
fairs and similar exhibits. The citizens
are full of energy II realize that
their only salvation is to get a railway
through. The steel has been laid
through part of the country. hut the
track has not been bullasted and trains
are not yet running. President Elliott
of the Northern Pacific was an inter-

there is little wonder that orders are

scene introduces the d~issipated young
poet. Hoffman,. in the midst of rev.

petus to the gaiety someone suggests
that Hoffman, tell his companions
about his owe affairs, to which the
poet CONSISTS. The following three

Interpretation of Olympia, the me-

and when the poets devotion is laid
at her feet she spurns him and goes
away with another gallant. Disguised

Good Oats County.
The county is a good oats country.
according to Fl. L. Van Benschoten,
states attorney for the county. But
little pats is raised on account of the
difficulty in shipping. The wheat is
taken from the county by boat down

The crop of wheat is large on an

Like many of the counties in North

county. Agates and other semi
precious stones are found along the

big factor in the future growth Of
North Dakota.
Can Make Briquettes.
The state university has a station at
Hebron where experiments have been
carried on until the state officials have
developed a way of making briquettes
from the Ignite which will permit
their commercial use. Ignite is more
plentiful In North Dakota than is coal
IN pennsylvania. as government re-
ports show. The Ignite is easily min
ed. but contains thirty per cent water,
and when this evaporates it is of little
use. In order to make it of use a
binder Of pitch and flour has been
found effective, so hat it can be
handled like coal. In the western
part of the state it., can be. made and
sold cheaper than soft coal, and in the
eastern part of the state 1t can be
sold under the price of hard coal, ac-
cording to w. E. Bulge. in charge Of
the state experiment station, under
Dean E. j. Babcock.
There are a number of b]y-products
Of Ignite which also are valuable in
the way Of tar and ammonia. The
sale OF these will help reduce the cost
of manufacture. ~

Dr. 5. A. MorraIl of Trenton, s C.
mas written his friend Mr.. ]. Z. Loricl1
ol MS purpose 10 come TO Crescent Civ
'hiS iall and engage in the practice of
medicine. DR.. Morrall visited Crescent
Oily last winter with party of gentle
men, coming down from his home in \
touring car. During his stay here of 4
week or more the doctor met many of
our people socially, and all who met
him will be pleased 10 know that he has
decided TO cast his lot with us perma-
nently.
AS was noted in the PaIaka depart.
ment OF this paper last week, the county
board OF public instruction has elected
Prof J. H. Sclden principal of the
Crescent City school for the ensuing
year, in place of Mr.. H. P. Hammer,
who had accepted place at Arcadia at
higher salary. Prof. Scldcn comes
highly recommended, haying served as
principal of the schools both at Bronson
and Sanford. He is a man of family.
Mr.. Hammer will leave here the last of
the month as his school at Arcadia
opens on the 5th of September. The
people generally will regret his going.
Rev. Geo. w. Jenkins, pastor of the
A. NJ. f. church at ST. Petersburg, died
suddenly of heart failure at Dunncllon
last Sunday evening about 1870. He
had preached 10 a large congregation at
a Sunday school convention that after
noon, and up to little while before his
death was feeling in his usual health.
His body was brought here for burial,
and the funeral attended by many visit
ing ministers of the African NJ. L.
church, was held at that church here,
the sermon being by Rev. G. W. Haw-
kinS, presiding elder of the Dunnellon
district The colored people of CreS-
cent City generally attended the funeral.
George Jenkins formerly lived here and
was a well known, industrious grove
worker. He entered the ministry some
IS years ago and had gradually risen in
HIS profession and had acted as pastor
10 some of the most important colorcd
congregations in the state. He was a
man of more than avcvcragc intclli-
gencc, and his influence on his race
was good. He was a good preacher
and usually remained at his appoint
mcntS for the full time. His efforts 10
advance his people have met with sue
cess and his labor was not in vain. He
had many friends here among the older
white citizens, who will regret his
death. Among his own people there
we're few more honored.

WIRE TRUST HEAD
is FINED $4,000
Edward {, Jackson, Jr., Pleads
TO Nine Indictments.
HEAD AND BRAINS OF TRUST
Climax Reached In Governments Cam
paign Against Combinations In Vio-
IatIon of Antitrust Law.

The succession of fines which has
marked the progress of the govern
ments successful campaign against
wire manufacturers recently indicted
for forming pools in alleged violations
OF the antitrust law, reached a climax
when Edwin e. Jackson, Jr., the New
York attorney whom the federal attor-
ney termed the head and brains of
the trust" was sentenced to pay $45,-
600.
This is by far the heaviest penalty
inflicted upon any of the seventy
three wire manufacturers who have
pleaded nolo contendre, but it did not
satisfy United States District Attor-
nCy Henry A. Wise. He pleaded with
Judge Archibald to send the wire trust
attorney to jail. He declared that he
would apply for Mr.. Jackson's dis.
barment.
Ten of the indicted men, including
Mr. Jackson, changed their pleas of
not guilty to nolo centendre today.
They were fined $1,000 each with 500
more for each additional indictment.
Against Jackson nine indictments
were found and his fines were $4,000
for each count. In addition he was
sentenced to pay $4,000 in costs. ~
