Bow Shot Einuar Off.

Dickinson. N. D.. Dec. 3.-While
hunting near the Sibley farm, about
three and a half miles west of Dick
inson. William Littlehales. jr., re-
ceived the discharge from his shot
gun in the middle finger of his right
hand and in one of his legs. His
finger was shattered so amputatior
was necessary. On shot was removed
from his leg and another lodged in his
knee. but was not removed as it was
too deeply imbedded to successfully
probe for.
Littlehales. accompanied by Harry
Peterson. was crossing a pond near
the Sibley place when the accident
happened. Fearing that the ice was
not strong enough to bear their
weight. the boys decided to push theil
guns over ahead of them. Peterson
successfully ACCOMPLISHED this feat
but the hammer. or trigger of Little
hales' gun caught on the ice in some
manner and his gun was discharged
with the result stated.

Arranged the Budget.

l.. A. Huntoon returned this morning
from the cities where he has been
spending a few days attending meet
ings OF the state normal board. The
principal business considered was the
budget for normal schools for the ensu-
ing biennial term. Several new build
ings were requested by different mem
bers of the boapd, but it now remains
to be seen just what favors the legis-
lature will disburse along this line and
that of course nothing, will be known
absolutely until the appropriation bills
have passed all stages. A little time
was devoted 20 the further considera-
ton of the proposed four-year course
leading to the i]ssuance of a degree to
be known as bachelor of education"
Practically the matter has been indie
initely postponed.

CAN YOUR BABY FIND ITS NOSE?
Here Are Some Tests to Determine
the NormaI. Child,

the Normal Child.
New York Journal: If a child of
three years knows his name and can
thrust a chubby finger to his nose,
these organs, he's a normal kid. If he
can't, then its time papa and mama
got busy with Petty's little think tank,
or he'll grow up to be a boob.
This, in plain Boweryesque, is the
translation of the formula given in
scientific terms by the medical sa-
wants of the Mental Hygiene con-
ference and exhibit, who are holding
tests of children" in the hall of the
City college.
"A child of a." continues the scien-
tific, formula, "is expected to know it's
sex and be able to recognize such
objects as a key, knife or a penny,
and to tell the comparative length
of lines. la
AT 5 a boy or girl should be able
to draw a square and repeat SEN
fences. When a child is six we ask
for definitions. l might ask: What
is a fork? If a boy answered, I eat
with a fork it would be SUFFICIENT for
that age, but If he inserted the word
something in his definition, as A
fork is something to eat with it
would place him in the Swear class,
If he said: "A piece of tableware
he would be in the 12-year class"
A child of 10 is asked what he
would do if he missed a train. Here
the answers vary. Any reply that Is
an answer is accepted. One child
said: walt for another" Another
said he would "run and catch It,"
While a boy from the Bronx said he
would go home for the day.

way, precipitating Alfred Nelson and
Miss Ruth Tosdal into the chilly wa

Cling in the water and by clever work

usual. evidently none the worse for
the thrilling experience of the night

We Get Out Of Life What We Put Into It.
We Get Out Of Advertising What We Put In It.

Many merchants of Fargo would advertise if they had the time
to prepare the copy, but when copy has to be prepared amid the
other duties of the store, meeting customers, selling goods collect
ing accounts, purchasing, and the like, will it be the kind that will
produce results.
How can the busy merchant prepare good copy after his days
business, when his brain is tagged, his best energy gone? He
doesn't do himself credit nor the medium through which he wants to
reach the prospective customer justice.
To meet these conditons--for there are many in Fargo--many
good business men whose volume of business does not allow of their
employing an advertising specisist--The Fargo Forum has employ
ed men--men who have studied the game--who are not only sales
men---thats the least of it--they are advertising writers.
They study modern advertising.
These men are at the service Of Fargos merchants. They will
assist the merchants to build their business wisely, economically,
from the advertising standpoint. They will prepare your copy, plan
your campagn---evcr mindful that your success is ours.
Call 1885 and ask for an advertising expert Cease patching up
any sort Of an ad and then being disappointed, but use right copy
and watch your business grow.
