Richmond Building Record.
In many sections Of the city last year
there was a marked decrease in building
activity. Richmond, however. was an e1-
ception to the realty sluggishness.
throughout its length and breadth specu-
lative builders and homeseekers were busy.
They put UP 555 frame dwelling houses at
a cost Of sl.2S7,770. as against si.215.2s0 for
similar construction work in 1909 The total
cost Of all construction work was S's'3.l s'.
In the previous year te,Hl,025 was spent
for new buildings.
Besides 90 frame dwelling housese there
were put up in Richmond last year o. BRICK
dwelling houses. o factories and work
shops. 81 stables. - stores. schools. y
public buildings. places Of amusement. etc,
60 garages. 5 office buildings. ! tenement
house. churches. hotels and 81 other
structures. For altering 1913 old buildings
SOC, 757 was expended. Unquestonably this
was a brilliant showing in a dull building
year.

ALL SAINTS DAY.

Az usual on this beautiful day,
the people turned out in great
numbers, attended church services
and visited the cemetery.
During the past few days much
attention and work had been ri.
ven to tho city Of the dead and On
All Saints Day presented a very
attractive sight. Much attention
was given to the repairs and i'm
provsmsnt of tho tombs and with
the proposed improvement of the
cemetery, We expect to see more
permanent attention given to this
place, which should be the pride
of every community, by showing
to the world that those Of our
dear ones who have left US are
gone, but not forgotten.
The cemetery this year prssen
ted a condition that was really
pleasing aud thousands Of persons
spent the day among the dead
Wednesday, aud Thursday morn
ing again visited the grave yard
where the service and benediction
of tho graves, as is usual with
Catholics, took place.
All Saints Day is one OF the
most observed of all the feasts of
the year as many persons from the
country and other places have
their dead in our old cemetery and
on that day always visit this place
to deposit some tokens of remsm-
brancs over the grave of their de-
parted loved ones.

More Testimony For Road
Drag.

Now that We have had the rain
We would like to see split-log drag
used as soon as possible on the
public roads in the Parish. The
first experience OF this kind was
made some time ago on the Bas-
trop and Mer Rouge road by tho
automobile club, and the condition
it put the roads in was proof
enough that the split log drag is
the very thing to smoothe the
roads. BniId you a drag and give
it Q trial. You will never regret
il. -Bastrop Enterprise.

Con. j. B. Levert, when ques-
toned several days ago as to the
start Of grinding at his large ca
pacity st. John central, in St. Mar
tin parish, stated that the mill was
to get under Roadway Thursday,
the Goth, and the outlook is for Il
record crop being handled, there
having been the greatest abun-
dance of outside cane obtainable
throughout the parish of st. Mar
tin, in view of the recent sxpan-
sion in cane growing there, follow
ing the advent of the boil wtevil.
General Levert reports that the
cold snap last Monday was very
severe, coming within an ace of
creating disaster, for the mercury
column, on a Trustworthy thermo-
meter, showed the closest possible
grazing of the 81 degree mark, yet
no ice formed, and owing to the
moist condition of the ground the
cane escaped without injury as far
as they have been able to observe.
Asked as to the behavior of the
D.4 cane he has been growing on
the st. John estate, the proprietor
related that with them, as CON-
planned of elsew here, the seeding
fell down in spots as result of
the recent heavy rains experienced
tho middle of the month. - The

JUST A MATTER
OF PUNCTUATION
SUPERINTENDENT RILEY WANT.
ED TO KNOW HOW THE INsAN-
ITY BOARD MADE IT'S TESTS
AND FOR A TIME THOUGHT HE
MIGHT BE DIPPY HIMSELF.

At the courthouse the other day,
Superintendent Riley OF the county
schools, dropped into the county
judges Office soon after the insanity
board had had a hearing on a some
what technical case and sought in
formation concerning their methods.
He said he wondered how they could
: determine whether man was mental
ly unbalanced or sane in many cases
which might come up before them. He
asked the method pursued to deter
mine the prevalence of insanity and
was told that 1t differed greatly in
various cases and some tests which
We're used with ignorant people could
not be applied to those who were well
educated.
He persisted in his questions when
one Of the members of the board hand
ed him the following: THAT that is
Is that that is not is not is not that
1t 1t is"
He was asked to punctuate 1t and
read aloud. He tried 1t In several
ways but could not make any sense
OF It and declared that it was nonsen-
slcaA and was told that the same
opinion was given by insane men who
tackled It,
He persisted that he knew some-
thing OF the English language and no
such tumble OF words could make an
Intelligent sentence, and the board al
most became convinced that they
would have to examine his mental bal
ance further, fearing that he might
be subject for treatment at James,
town.
Finally one Of the members OF the
board handed him the sentence, pune
tuated as follows: THAT that Is. is:
that that Is not. is not. Is not that
1t? 1t IL !.
Mr.. Riley was satisfied and after
reading 1t over once or twice the board
concluded that he was not d subject
for the asylum.

FARGO TOURISTS
RETURNED HOME
DRs. BROKER AND GREEN, WHO
MADE EXTENSIVE TRIP IN
AUTOMOBILE. ARE HOME AFT
ER EXCITING AND DELIGHTFUL
TIME IN EAST.

After a seven weeks automobile trir
through the east, In which 1000 miles
were covered by the tourists, Drs
Fred Bricker and H. G. Green, two OF
Fargo's popular dentists, returned last
night. They were in excellent condi-
ton and reported most enjoyable
time and said they took things easily
enough to escape fatigue.
The two dentists came up from Fair
Hills on Pelican lake yesterday after
noon. arriving In the city about 8
o'clock. Their speedometer registered
1892 miles. which was the extent of
their travels through the eastern part
of the United States and return.
They left Fargo June 2S and went
directly to Duluth where they took
the lake steamer to Buffalo, shipping
their car by the same boat, so that
it was at the exposition city when they
arrived and there was no time lost.
They took their car at Buffalo and
proceeded to Rochester In time for the
great Shriner's convention, where J..
Frank Treat OF Fargo was elected inn
perial potentate of North America.
They spent the entire week in the
flower city, having as good time as
possible with the Fargo patrol and
then proceeded eastward
From Rochester they drove to Syr-
acuse. from there to Utica. then to
Schenectady, across to Albany and then
down the Hudson river road to New
York City. This part OF the trip was
perhaps the most beautiful they had.
In gotham they took in all the sights
and they said they left no stones I'M
turned. Their Fargo friends will
probably agree with them that every
thing worth seeing in the little berg
on Manhattan island was seen by these
two Fargo representatives who had
nothing else to do but enjoy them
selves.
From New York they went to
Goshen, N. Y, and at that point broke
through the Pennsylvania mountains
into Wilkesbarre. Pa, and then up
through New York again, visiting
Elmira and Rochester once more and
back to Buffalo. Instead of making
the trip from Buffalo by water as they
had gone. they came by car, going
from Buffalo to Cleveland, on through
Toledo and up to Detroit, where they
paid a visit to the Chalmers factory.
From Detroit they went to Chicago,
and came northwest through Milwau-
kee, Oshkosh, Alexandria. Minneapo-
lis, Pelican Rapids and Fair Hills on
Pelican lake and finally wended their
way homeward to Fargo last night.
