en- over to the commercial travellers
and the knights Of the grip have
taken full possession of the grounds
The censorious merchant has been
forgotten for once at least and the
shipping clerk who gets out Christ
mas orders on New Years day is
taking no place in the thoughts Of
the boys who know more about CROP
conditions and business In general in
North Dakota than all the experts
that were ever turned loose.

are some times accused Of doing moth
ing and not given credit for the real
Iy great and noble work they do &C

the horns, roped the crttter and are

overlooking any OF the good bets +

fication as bunch Of live wires car

Offering a continuous performance a.
