Because a woman stays at nome

KING ALFONSO USED ALIAS

His Jaunts TO Paris Were Made With
Young kobIeman Of Unknown

LONDON, Feb. l0.-Government
agents who have been trying to run
down the reported derelictions Of
King Alfonso, OF Spain. during his
secret visits to Paris, received mail
advices today that Alfonso's alias,
while In Paris. was Monsieur Lamy.'
On these trips 10 the pleasure resorts
OF the French capital, which are per-
sistently reported TO have estranged
Queen Victoria from the king. AL,
fonso was always accompanied by a
identity, and by two chosen detec.
lives,
The mere fact that Alfonso guard
ed his movements while in Paris with
such care, Is considered proof that he
was indulging in little filings at high
life, the nature Of which IL would
never have done for the public to
know.
simultaneously with the receipt OF
this information, came an official
denial, by the Spanish court, that
there are martial differences between
Alfonso and Victoria. The reports
published In different European pa
peEsr. denial says respecting
differences between the king and
queen Of Spain and regarding the
queens proposal for separation. are
absolutely false and calumnious. The
king and queen are aware that poll
teal enemies have invented these re-
ports"
The issuing of this denial was a
great surprise to English court circles
and. II 10 ! red. its effect will be
exactly opposite from what was In
tended by It's sponsors. The worst
feature OF the denial Is that II was SO
long in coming. II has been monSi
since the United Press first told the
story o. the. reported differences be-
tween Alfonso and Victoria, and II
has taken all this time, according to
the best Information obtainable here
for the English and Spanish advisors
OF the king and queen to patch up
matters so that a denial could be is
sued with safety.
/ Now that the denial has been Ii.
sued, II Is assumed that the queen
has forgiven Alfonso, on condition
/ that he forego his pleasure-seekine
jaunts to Paris.

Corn Contest for the Year 1911

Believing that the commercial future
of North Dakota depends in a large
measure upon better and more diversi-
fled farming and that more extensive
corn raising and the feeding of hogs
and cattle should be encouraged, The
First National Bank of Fargo has de-
cided to give the farmers of North
Dakota cash prizes aggregating one
thousand dollars for the best specimens
of corn raised by them during the year
1911.
The First National Bank of Fargo in
making this liberal offer wishes to en-
list t6h cooperation Of banks. news

men, Sin fsst Of eysry one interested

seeing that they enter into the contest
and that shipments of their EXHIBITS to
Fargo are made at the proper time.
Since the first announcement Of this
contest letters have been received from
bankers in every section of the state
offering; their help and cooperation, and
in many cases stating that they ex-
pected to give special prizes for the
best corn raised in their immediate To-
calities. 'ai
Land in corn this year means better
wheat crop next year. An increase of
only ten pounds to the acre in the yield
of wheat means million dollars year
to the farmers of the state. We urge
the farmers OF North Dakota toconsult
with their local bankers regarding the
terms Of this contest and to make 1911
the big corn year of North Dakota.
