THE MAIL ORDER FRAUD

Some time ago the PRESS mentioned
the fact that a great many publishers
had taken an apple advertisement fol-
an outside concern which turned out to
be a fraud. 1t is not a good thing to
do even if the concern had been reli-
able. because the home merchants were
handling apples and were anxious Ia
dispose of them at reasonable prices.
AS it turned out, the Benton Harbor
swindler became alarmed lest the gov
eminent authorities should swope down
upon him and many of the drafts and
money orders tent in from Western
North DAKOTA were never taken out of
the p%ostofice and in the course of time
the letters were returned. Otherwise
the senders of the various amounts
would have lost their money. The
publishers, who. in some instances.
grabbed a half page or more of this
Benton Harbor fake advertising, never
got a penny for their work.
This is what the Grand Forks Herald
says of the scheme:
There has just been arrested in
Chicago a man named Wright who il
charged with the use of the mails fo,
purposes of fraud. He is said to be the
man who has been doing business under
the name of the Northwestern Growers
association of Benton Harbor. Michigan,
an institution with which a good many
North Dakota people have had dealin Il
to their sorrow. In addition to this
title Wright is said by the federal

MEDICAL INSTRUCTION NEEDED

In the last issue of the Hettinger
County Herald appeared the following
on a vital matter which should be given
more thought by people of every local
ity:
At a recent meeting of the Cass
county school officers held in Fargo. Dr..
v. H. Stickney of Dickinson, one of
the best known physicians of the state.
urged medical inspection for school

its health was bad. Bad teeth and adj

An Intercepted
Proposal
By KATHERINE HOPSCN


AS he turned a corner of the piaz-
Ia, Frank Bramley saw, with a thrill
of joy, that for which ali evening he
had been vainly seeking.
"The time, the place, and the grill"
he exclaimed.
The girl was sitting on lawn seat
looking out across the bay. The moon
shone on her thoughtful half averted
face, and lightly touched her brown
FURNISHED hair.
'At last l have found you alone,
Edith" he said, his voice vibrant with
happiness as he sat beside her
There Is always such a crowd Of 9TH

"Why, didn't know that you cared

His Status as a Foreigner.

What is foreigner? 1t depends on
the country. In the United States it
is a newcomer who has not yet had
time to catch his breath, unpack his
kit, and find job. In India, the case
is different. An official at Malabar,
South India, lately received a letter
from man whose status he was in
vestigating, and who said: 81 am a
native of India by birth, but l have
claim to foreign origin and foreign

differ from the last series only in body
design, finish, equipment, etc.
2 Mechanically, there are but few

e Noticeable changes have been made
in the body construction. All models
are Of the hush-sidcd, straight line type.
The upholstery is thick, deep and luxu-
rious, and the remarkable riding quail

the running boards have been cleared
