WONDERFUL WORK OF DOGS

The grocery drummer from Chicago
had just made some remarks about
household pets, which awakened a

REAL LAND OF THE AUT0MAT
Germany, Probably More Than Any
Other Country, Makes Use Of
These Simple Devices.

Germany might almost be called
"the land Of the automat." Automatic
devices Of all kinds are popular and
are used for a thousand purposes. At
all postoffices, stamps and post cards
are sold by automatic machines; at
the railway stations, platform tickets
and suburban tickets are sold by
automats; automat restaurants, where
one can secure a glass of beer, wine,
or liquor, a sandwich, square meal,
cup Of coffee, chocolate, etc, by drop
ping a coin In the slot, abound every
where. Every city of $4,000 or 10000
population and over has from one to
several hundred such restaurants. At
railway stations automats sell choco-
late, candy, picture post cards, and
even a little kit of first aid to the in
jured, containing a few drops OF palm
killer, bandages, needle, thread, etc.
Ten pfennigs In a slot opens the doors
OF toilet compartments, delivering a
towel or piece Of soap. A coin In a
slot obtains cigar. tune from a
mechanical music box, pair Of shoe
strings, cellar button, or q visiting

WILSON HAS LARGE
PLURALITY IN OHIO
Carries Presidents Home State
by Big Margin.

Cincinnati, Nov. 7.-Wilson swept
Ohio by a plurality roughly estimated
at 100000 over President Taft.
James M. Cox was elected governor
by a plurality as large if not larger
than Wilson and the entire Demo-
cratic state ticket went through with
him, although with lower pluralities.
Returns indicated that General R. B.
Brown, Republican nominee for gov
ernor, would be second and Arthur l..
Garford, bull moose nominee, third.
The Democratic landslide, it is be-
lieved, gave two and possibly three
congressman to the Democrats, who
already had sixteen.
It appears that Wilson polled fully
as many votes as Bryan did four years
ago, when Bryan had 5G2, 900. Not
only was Wilson strong in the rural
districts, but he ran especially we'll in
the industrial centers, where it was
expected the Socialists and Roosevelt
would cut into the normal Democratic

Miss Keller made an address in Eng

stantly jump up and down to get some
piece of lace or material to finish a gar
ment. If the hundred and one things
a woman needs at her work were all
in some convenient place all this tron-
BILE would be avoided.
If there is a large closet in the sew
ing room or in the room where most of
the family sewing is done get three or
four shelves and divide these at con-
venient heights inside of the closet.
On each shelf arrange four or five
boxes and then place the various kinds
of laces. velvets. silks. buttons, etc.. in
one box. marking clearly just what
such box contains.
A closet arranged in this way will
be found a great convenience and time

Weeds lnjure
Your Business.
L. r. WALDRON, superintend-
ent Dickinson Satisfaction.

= :. !. x i. !. :. j. !. !. !. !. i. !. !. j. !.
Many farmers fail to realize that
weeds are doing them much harm or
that they are abundant in their fields,
when perhaps it is the weeds alone
that prevent farming being a profit
able business to them. Weeds injure
the farmer in three important re-
spects. The presence of weed seed
in grain makes the grade lower and
Injuries the grain for milling and often
Tor feeding purposes. Certain weed
seed, such as corn cookie and COW
cookie, are poisonous and flour made
from wheat containing cookie seed is
injurious TO health. Both kinds of
cookie are abundant in North Dakota.
Weeds injure a growing crop by
overcrowdjng and suffocation. Take
wheat, for instance A certain num-
Der Of kernels are sown upon an acre.
If the wheat is good most of the kerr
nels terminate, and during the cool
spring weather the growing wheat
plants stool or tiller out, if the condi-
tons are favorable. Wheat will not
stool much if own too thickly. When
sown thickly there are plenty of
wheat plants, but they are still spind-
ling. In such cases we are liable to
have a proportionately large amount
Of straw. If weeds and wheat come
up altogether the weeds prevent the
wheat plants from stooling, and so we
have spindling wheat plus a useless
mass of vegetation-the weeds, which
are robbing the soil of food and mois-
ture. Take wheat again. A healthy
wheat plant has rich green leaves. If
we keep it away from the light the
leaves become yellow and sickly look
ing and the wheat plant develops
either 10 head at all, or at best only
q small one. Weeds produce the same
effect. Examine wheat growing in a
yellow mustard, French weed or Can
ada thistle patch and see if these as
sertions are not the truth instead of
mere theoretical fancies. Unfortunate
ly we have not the exact knowledge
VI w uil11CISC "SSoS wv LII lilO
way, but I think I am safe in stating
that more damage is done than is
commonly supposed.
In the third place weeds injure the
farmer by robbing the soil of plant
food and moisture. If III seasons
were long enough it would be possible
to grow two crops in succession from
the same piece of land. Some farm
ers have tried to grow wheat and flax
together in this state and found nei-
Their crop paid. Many farmers evil

enough to grow a crop of weeds and

make the wheat or the flax profitable.
This is a mistake; it cannot be done.
In certain bountiful years it may be

flax On weedy land to make a small
profit, but in the long run it cannot
be anything else but a losing bust.
