the friend was just ducking UP an

BOOST LIVE STOCK
GROWING in N. ..
NEW FIRM THAT HAS JUST EN-.
TERED STATE WILL HAVE
GREAT EXHIBIT AT STATE FAIR
WILL MAKE FARGO THEIR
STATE HEADQUARTERS.

Among the many good attractions
at the state fair at Fargo this year,
win be an addition to the live stock
exhibit. This addition to the live stock
exhibit will be placed there by the
Finch Bros. of Verona and Joliet, Ill,
and Finley, Steele county, N. D.. This
firm is considered one of the biggest
in the United States, in the business
of importing and breeding pure bred
horses and cattle. They make a spe-
cialty of Belgian horses.
In the past years they have won
the highest awards at nearly all state
fairs and notable stock exhibits. This
is h first time, however, that they
have come to North Dakota with their
stock. They will show in Fargo this
year with two carloads of pure bred
horses.
Fol some time past they have real
lied the growing important of live
stock in North Dakota, and this year
they purchased a farm of 480 acres
at Finley, Steele county, N. ID. On
this farm they are building barns, hog
and poultry houses and silos and
making other improvements as will
make this a model farm second to
non in the state.
This farm will be used for demon
stration purposes and the raising of
pure pred live STOCK. Iney VIII also
use it as a distributing center when
all arrangements have been made. In
the meantime Fargo has been chosen
as their distributing center for the
northwest.
After the fair is closed they will
open and maintain an Office in Fargo
and arrangements have been made
with the state fair management for
the use of the state fair barns for
this purpose. One of the best live
stock statesmen in the northwest has
been engaged to take charge of the
Fargo branch.
The Finch Bros. believe that North
Dakota farmers will tax more inter-
est in live stock as the true value of
diversified farming becomes better un-
derstood. They are willing to assist
in this demonstration work and are
investing large sums here in land and
improvements and yet this is only a
beginning.
The active interest of such parties
as the Finch Bros. means much to
the live stock interests Of the state
and it has aroused much interest
among the friends Of better farming.

NO LONGER NOON IN STRAND
Violent Remedy Applied 20 Clock That
Fooled Londoners for Ten
Years.

London.-For ten years the clock OF
ST. Mary-le-strand has looked due
west past the Savoy and Cecil hotels
and on the Charing Cross announcing
20 all that the hour was exactly IL
o'clock. a couple OF days ago the
hands OF the old clock were removed
and n familiar feature OF the Strand
has thus been lost.
The rector's wife explains that peo.
pie passing down the Strand about
noon have been deceived into thinking
that the old clock was a trustworthy
tlmepiece, and the result has been
"innumerable letters OF complaint
from all kinds OF irate people who
have lost trains or missed appoint
ments. This has gone on for years,
until at last n clockmaster offered 70
take away the hands and leave the
dial blank but not misleading"
The reason why St Mary-le-Strands'
clock pointed 20 the same hour for ten
long years is simple enough. There
was no money 20 defray the expenses
OF keeping II In order
Up 10 eleven or twelve years ago
the vestry looked after II. but when
the Westminster city council took
over the vestries the clocks income
was stopped. Private generosity kept
It going TIL 1902. Then It stopped. and
except for three hours in 1908 It has
never gone sincs
It's Snort resumption OF labor was
due TO the enterprise OF an organ
blower who one day climbed the
tower. wound up the spring and after
a struggle managed 20 get the pendu'
lum to swing To the astonishment OF
the verger, the rector and people In
the Strand. the old clock recorded the
hours OF one. two and three, and then
stopped. Next day II was put back 70
twelve. and there II remained TIL q
couple OF days ago.

Pearl Harbor is TO be the most
strongly fortified naval base In the

Dor is landlocked and Is distant from

The most Of the expense I'm con-

has been for the cutting OF a chan

work has been slow. But the re
suits will be permanent and there Will
