Farmers Day

With Chanute, Farmers Day" was
an experiment. The town had never
before tried the experiment of getting
the farmers to town on any set day.
Though the hottest day of the season,
the farmers came by hundreds and
brought their wives and children. A
large crowd assembled to watch the
sports and participate therein. The
auction was we'll patronized. Farmers
brought in considerable stock and it
seemed to sell at satisfactory prices.
The farmers, so far as we could learn,
pronounced the thing a success and
worthy of being repeated. 1t is pro-
posed to make the auction feature a
monthly affair. A large number of
prizes were given.
The S25 cash prize went to Elmer
Shurck, route l, SIS cash to G. Finn,
Benedict, SO cash to Fred Bowers,
route l. Many valuable presents were
donated by the merchants but want of
space will not allow us to enumerate
them.

She Solved the Problem

General Grant says it was at Mon.
tauk Point, after our soldiers had re-
turned from Cuba and the hospital
were crowded with sick and wounded
that the ladies visited them daily,
carrying delicacles of every kind, and
doing all they could to cheer and COM
fort the suffering.
1t happened one day that pretty
young woman Of l&~was endeavOring
to cheer those round her, when she
overheard soldier remark: Oh,
LOrd!"
Thinking to rebuke him for his pro-
family, she said:
"Didn't ear you call upon tt e
name of the Lord? l am one of his
daughters. Can l ask him anything
for you?"
Looking up into Ter bright, cheer
full countenance, he replied: II reckon
you can, miss"
"What Is it you wish?" she asked.
Raising his eyes to her, he extended
his hand and said: "YOu might ask
him to make me his son-in-lawp-

Everybody takes hogs freely, and
really there is no bear effort at present.
Provisions specialists say that present
values are legitimate. Middlemen
have decided that the bottom has
been reached, and all hands are stock
ing up on provisions, and statements
of provisions stocks indicate a free
outward movement and no accumula-

Found Dead

The dead body of an Italian named
Tortorize, was found near the railroad,
north of town by Mr.. j. w. ingram,
last Sunday.
Life had evidently been extinct for
some time. The man has been at
work at the north cement plant for
the past several months He lived
with his cousin in the north part of
town, the two men living alone. Tony
as the man was called, took a layoff
Saturday afternoon and seemed to
drop out of sight soon after. 1t is a
mystery how he came to his death.
His clothing was covered with mud
as though he had been in the muddy
ditch near where the body was found.
The mans neck was broken. He
had part of bottle of whiskey in
his pocket. He may have been drunk
and fallen in some manner to break
his neck He may have been killed by
some one for some purpose, no one
knows.
Far away from the sunny land of his
childhood, he met death in strange
land alone or confronted by remorse-
less enemy.
The manner of death will probably
never be known. A fond mother will

Keep The Children Safe

An earnest and special campaign is
On hand throughout the United States
to protect children against infantiIe
paralysis. In districts where dust
prevails much of the time there is
need for especial care; and through
out the summer, which is the time
the disease becomes noticeable, every
precaution should be taken. The
following general instructions as to
ways of fighting the disease have
been issued from an authoritative
source:
Keep your children away from sus-
pected cases.
Keep the mouth and nasal passages
clean, for it is through these organs
the germ enters and attacks Che spinal
marrow and the brain, causing either
temporary or permanent paralysis
of the muscles.
Like typhoid or scarlet fever, the
germ can be carried by perfectly
healthy persons, who themselves will
not contract the disease, but who may
transfer the germ to others. Dlsin-
feet or destroy the secretions of the
nose and mouth Of the patients, for
the disease is thrown off just as it is
contracted, from the brain, through
the nose and mouth.
AT present THERE'S no cure, no rene
dy, for this awful children's scourage,
but preventive measures, intelligently
employed, will diminish the number of
cases.

The early potato crop is very poor.
Raspberres, that were very promis-

Corn, our great crop, is not probably
hurt any yet, needs rain, and will
have to have it soon or suffer serious
damage. We think 1t will come all

No Help

A st. Louis travelling man, making
his first trip through North Dakota,
woke up one May morning to find the
ground white with snow.
"For Heavens sake" he asked the
hotel clerk disgustedly, "when do you

country?"
81 don't know" replied the clerk,

Measure Represents Much Hard
Work By Our Representative

Members of Both Houses Express
Satisfaction With Bill as
Submitted.

The legislature committee an reap
portionment has submitted it's report
to the house. The report shows the
most painstaking effort to make an
apportionment exactly just to every

this city, chairman of the committee
is recognized by all as having done
good deal of hard and devoted

The scheme provided for by the bill
reduces the senate from Sc members

house from 120 members to 1875 men,
bers. These changes were made solely
because it was thereby made easier
to apportion representation equitably.

COMPLIMENT THAT IS
MOST JUSTLY MERITED

There is no better known or more
popular printer in Northern Minnesota
than G. A. Bergstrom, superintendent
of the mechanical department of the
Duluth News Tribune. American
Bulletin Magazine, Minneapolis, Mimi.
The people of Duluth have admired
Mr.. Bergstroms good qualities for
years, and they are glad to know that
his merits are appreciated by the
newspaper fraternity of the flour
city,
1t is said that Mark Twain, like
Franklin, learned more in the print
ing shops than the average boy does
at college. He graduated from the
printing-shop high school and then
spent four years in the pilot house
Those four years were his university
course. Mr.. Bergstrom took "hissen'
on the News Tribune.
