FARGO IMPRESSIONS.

Visitors who have not been in Fargo
for two or three years note great i'm
proyement. They are impressed with
the inside growth Of the city showing
the new business blocks that have been
erected on former vacant spaces.
The new structures on N. p. avenue.
west Front street, First avenue north,
Fifth street and Broadway toward the
Great Northern tracks attract atten-
ton. Many vacant lots have been filled
in, giving the street more solid and
substantial appearance.
AS all these newer buildings are oc-
cupied-they demonstrate an increased
growth of the city's business enter
prises.
Another thing that commends itself
most strongly to those who return to
Fargo after an absence is the great i'm
provement made by the white ways on
Broadway, N. P. avenue and Front
street. The long rows Of bright lights
certainly add to the attractiveness of
the city and give the visitors a splen-
did impression of enterprise and prog
ress.
The new paving on First avenue
north, the paving of the alleys and
other improvements in progress will
add greatly to Fargo's attractiveness.
Half the victory is won when man
seeking an investment or a home in
a city forms good first impression.
He is much easier to convince of the
advantages and opportunities offered
when he sees everything looking pros
porous and modern.
The buyer who comes to Fargo for
goods is also convinced-when the first
impression is favorable-that he has
done the proper thing by coming here.
The general appearance of the city
means much to the business interests.
If 1t is favorable it results in more
money for the local dealers. If adverse
there are fewer sales The man who
visits Fargo and leaves well pleased Is
a big advertiser. He tells his friends
of the good things he has seen and
never forgets to put in a good word.
II he doesn't like the city he can do
considerable damage by decrying it's
interests
Let Fargo make good impression.

cY YouNe,s SECRET.

Cy Young, veteran baseball player,
has just explained an extraordinary
record by a statement-which is not
extraordinary at all--exeept in point OF
simplicity.
Mr. Young has amazed all baseball
enthusiasts by remaining in the ma
tional game as a pitcher for more than
twenty years, He won 500 games dur
ing that time. In other respects his
performances have been unique.
There may be a moral in his career
which is significant enough to reach
out into all the corners of life-ap-
plying to the business man as well as
to the athlete.
The phenomenal pitcher has been
quoted as saying that he held his own
longer than any other man i'm the same
field has been known to do-because he
was temperate in all things.
The calling of the physicians would
be greatly injured-if this rule of Cy
Young's were universally known.
There are thousands of schemes adj
vocated nowadays for the man or wom-
an who is in Ill health. Remedies vary
from the carrying Of horseshoe nails
In the righthand vest pocket to the
spending of six months at some foreign
resort-where only the very wealthy
can afford to be sick. Half the world
is ailing.
But the doctors know that practical
~ all ailments are caused by working
too much-or playing too much-or
eating-or drinlxing-or swearing-or
praying-or hating envying--or
fearing, too much-or by doing some
OF these things too little.
The man who was victor In 500 bat
ties on the diamond answers the riddle
of all humanity when he explains that
he was successful he was
temperate.
