Concerning Hotels.
The travelling men believe the fly is

with the views of every sensible man

to persist, until measures are adopted
which will require all hotels to have
at least their dining rooms and
kitchens screened.

FOSTERS FORECASTS
tcopyraRhted by w. W. Poster. 1909.

The very cold weather and SHOWS, of
course, must be assigned to northern
ATTITUDES. The fall in temperatures
from near Jan. 81 to 23 will be very
great and large part Of the January
precipitation will occur at this time.
sNext disturbance will reach the Pa
cific coast about Jan. 20, cross the Pa
cific slope by the close of Jan. 30, the
great central valleys by Jan. 81 to
Feb. 2, the eastern sections by

Pacific slope by about Jan. 20. the

the matter with him, has spread the
dreaded disease all around among his
section.
Fire escapes are also now recognized
as a necessity about hotels, and this
Is a measure which is to be pressed.
The Railroads.
Statesmen on the road insist that
mileage should be lifted by the con-
ductors on the trains as it has al
ways been done, until the past few
years. This is a great convenience to
the travelling public and enables the
salesman to put In all of his time with
the trade instead of as now, being
forced to leave prospect half hour
before train time in order to get in
line before the ticket window, to ex-
change for a ticket, in order to have
his baggage checked.
Another important matter to the
travelling salesman is to be allowed
more time at the station before he
has to pay storage on his baggage.
Frequently the salesman cannot tell
within the twenty -four hours allowed
whether or not it is wise for him to
carry his samples up town. Likewise
any traveller is interested sometimes
in leaving q piece of baggage at the
station longer than twenty four hours.
Mississippi, the Carolinas and other
states now have laws requiring that
baggage be stored forty eight hours
before charges can be made by the
road for storage. Therefore, other
states in this particular are only ask
ing that which is enjoyed by sister
states.
The Telephones.
Inasmuch as travelling men are very
large users of telephone lines to COM
municate with their firms and fami-
lies, the telephone companies have
been requested to issue coupon book
at a rate somewhat lower than the
regular rates. This to be sold in guam
tity and paid for in advance.
Some of the telephone companies al
ready have this subject under advise
ment and it more than likely that
may be done.

KENNEDY'S LOST HAT
A Traveller Who Lost His Hat, Had
Another Returned to Him and
His Own Still Gone,

r. B. Kennedy, the soap man who
travels for an Iowa company had a
queer experience with his hat here
this week. Thursday morning when
he left the dining room at his hotel he
got hat, it felt just like his, looked
just like his, and he was sure it was
his.
Another man leaving the hotel
picked up hat and at once saw it
wasn't his own. He complained to the
clerk of the house and a search at
noon disclosed the fact that the hat
belonging to the man was on the
head of Mr.. Kennedy. An exchange
was made and Mr.. Kennedy was as
tonished to see that the hat returned
to him was not his own, but one nearly
like ct. 1t was a Stetson, so was the
other mans and so was the one he got.
He said: Put the three hats together
and you couldn't tell one from the
other Three mighty smart men ut
the Gardner this week. We all have
heads the same size and shape" He
hasn't secured his own hat.

had entered into an agreement not to
loan farmers money to enable them to
hold their grain. If this be true-and
1t really does appear TO be true for
some of the states-those bankers will
see that they have made a grevious
mistake. Bankers, of course, have a
right to refuse new loans where secur
ity is not ample, but 1t is a serious
thing to enter into an agreement not
to extend old loans to enable farmers
to hold their grain little longer.
Farmers are slowly learning how to
use the ballot. That valuable little
paper wad is veritable gattling gun
in defense of rights and repelling op-
preston. Farmers should never per-
NIT partisan prejudices to divide them

the latest cures made by DR.. Gates is Mrs.
W. r. Safe. the wife of prosperous farmer
living near Harwood N. D., whose story is
given herewith. Mrs. Safe said when in

Il have suffered for many months with a

weak, short of breath, and had reduced from

pounds TO a mere skeleton took medicine

was absolutely no hope, and last Christmas,
when / was so sick that could not join my

culed my wish to visit DR.. Gates, that there
seemed but a short time of life ahead of me
