SOCIALIST WANTS FAIRNESS.

1t is rathed unexpected to find So
cialist who really wants to be fair.
Congressman Berger of Milwaukee ap-
pears to differ very much from most of
the socialists in this respect. He even
pays tribute to the "capitalistic
press" much denounced generally by
socialist orat ors. The other day Mr..
Berger said:
PERSONALLY, I have been treated as
we'll as I deserved during the last e5
years. j have just come, back form q
four-wesks speaking tour, and must
say the newspapers treated me very
we'll. Some gave as much as four col
umns to reports of my meetings"
Mr.. Berger even doubted that the so.
cialist press had treated the other side
any better than the press in general
had treated the socialists-and most
decidedly his doubts are warranted. i,

FIRE PREVENTION.

With the building of fires in unused
furnaces, stoves and 6replaces, many
accidents will happen if great care is
not taken.
At this season of the year scores Of
fires originate in defective furnaces
which should ahve been overhauled
and inspected bya competent persons.
In many cases smokepipes rust dur
ing the summer. and make it possible
for sparks and fire to fall into trash
which may have accumulated in fur
mace rooms. frequently flues become
defective through long disuse and the
effects of the weather. Hot air pipes
often catch lint and other inflammable
material which may ignite if they are
not cleaned out.
Chimney holes should not be filed
with paper which can be ignited read.

ney.
Half the fires at this season of the
year are oecasioned by pure careless
ness. It is better to delay starting
fires until a thorough inspection has
been made-which shows that the heat
ing apparatus has not become impaired
while in disuse.
Don't risk starting q fire in a fur.
mace which has cracked frebowl or q
smokepipe which does not fit securely
1t is dangerous and few dollars in
vested in repairs may save you thous
ands in FIRE loss.-Fargo Forum.

\ mortgage is powerful institu-
ton. 1t makes man rustic and it
Keeps him poor. 1t is q strong incen-

minder of the tleeting years. A mort.
gage represents industry, because it
is never idle 1t is like bosom friend,
because the greater the adversely the
closer it, sticks to a fellow. 1t is like
y soldier; it never hesitates in chars-
ing nor fears to close on an enemy. It
is like tho sand-bag of tho thug; silent
in its application hut deadly in its eff
feet. Like the hand of providence it
spreads over all sreation. and it sim
tiuenee is everywhere visible. It is
like tho grasp Of the octopus, the long

MORTON COUNTY FARMER
CHARGES THAT RAILROAD
WAS NEGLIGENT,

Mandan, N. D., Oct is. Criminal
negligence is charged by James II.
Bates, prominent rancher of southern
Morton county, in an action which he
has instituted against the Chicago,
Milwaukee &, st. Paul railroad, in
which he asks for $4,000 damages. The
accident out Of which the present ac-
toin grows occurred in 1910 near Raj
eigh, this county.
It is charged that while he was driv-
ing across the right of way at that
point, there being no signs or signals to
evidence the presence Of the tracks
until he was directly on them. At the
same moment q string of cars was
backed down the track, striking the We
hicle. One horse was killed and he
claims to have received injuries which
are permanent in their nature.
Application has been made by the
railroad company for the removal Of
the action from the district court to
the federal court, and such petition
will be granted.

J. q. aUNDERsoN OF ANErA SENT
LARGEST POTATOES YET SEEN
IN THIS, STATE HAS MORE.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 1s.-The First
National bank Of Fargo received by ex-
press shipment of potatoes which
proved to be the largest spuds yet seen
in this state.
The tubers were sent to Fargo by ].
C. Gunderson, the cashier of the State
bank of Aneta. They were grown by
Mr.. Gunderson on some of his land
and the entire crop produced some po-
tatoes as large as the ones sent here.
One of the tubers in the lost weighs
8 l-2 pounds. There is another potato
weighing three pounds. Almost all
the other tubers in the lot weight from
two to three pounds, which is most
remarkable.
The potatoes in the shipment are
decidedly solid and on being cut they
were found to be deliciously sweet. A
number Of potato growers near the
city pronounced the potatoes to be the
finest that they had ever tasted.
It has been suggested that some Of
the large potatoes of the type sent
down by Mr.. Gunderson be served in
the local cafes and hotels to parties
coming to the northwest with view
of making purchases of land. This is
regarded as most excellent medium
for advertising the great northwest
and it is probable that steps will be
taken to have the purchasing agents of
the hotels and cares secure this type
of potato to serve whenever possible,
and in this way join in the boosters of
the city and state.

SAYS THAT FIRE REQUIREMENTS
ARE NOT BEING OBEYED IN
DEVILS LAKE. sSsv

A list of those falling to comply
with the fire ordinance was given in a
report offered by Chief Of the Fire De-
partment c. o. Russell at the meeting
of the city council last evening The
report which was adopted means that
the chief Of police will arrest all
failing to comply with the city law,
especially with reference to the de-
stroying of rubbish.
Contractors who will continually 60
ahead with the construction of build
ings without receiving q permit in
accordance with the ordinance were
scored by the fire chief in his report
and the police department was instruct
ed to arrest every contractor without
further notice to the contractors in
the event that they fail to comply with
the law.
Several buildings in the city were
condemned as fire traps and proper no.
tice will be given to the parties now
occupying the buildings to vacate Con.
siderable discussion arose over the
roofing of buildings, one concern now
roofing its building contrary to law,
the work having been stopped. Roof.
ing is an important feature Of the fire
ordinance and this will be enforced to
the letter.
There will be no stopping of the
work until Devils Lake will be well
protected as far as fires are concerned

WOMEN ON THE FARM.

Any movement TO DoLtcr INC Hohc
and social conditions Of the women
on tho American farms should receive
all possible encouragement. An or
ganizntion Inns been started, in New
York city, intended to be national in
scope, to study this subject and bring
a broader horizon to tho farm wives.
At tho recent conservation congress
this Same subject was givcn much at
tenti0n, under tho title Conservation
of tho Farm Women aud Children. Z" A
suggestion from Mrs. Henry Wallace,
of Dos Moines, was for tho organiza-
tion of womcn's clubs in rural com.
munitics for social enjoyment, study Of
farm problems, and to get tho women
out of tho deadly routine OF tho farm
home.

OF tho st. Paul Commercial Club and a
trained publicity man to take charge
of the work Of tho Fargo club. Though
tho membership has always boon good,
tho quarters ample and tho enthusiasm
rife, tho Fargo club has mover accom-.

there was not enough publicity and
the mistake was rectified.
