WHERE LIFE IS HEAP.

Insurance companies have threaten
ed to write no more risks in South
C~aroilna-if Gov. Cole L. Blease should
be reelected.
The reason they threatened to with
draw from that state is because life is
rendered too cheap under the rule of
such a reckless and lawless executive
as Governor Blease has proved himself
to be.
The Insurance Herald, which is rec
ognized authority on insurance in the
south, says
Several life insurance com
panies are reported to have
decided to accept no further
risks in South Carolina II Cole

THE CITY MARKET.

Fargo is not the only city interest
cd in a central or general market
proposition. Minneapolis appears to
be trying to reduce the cost of living.
The Tribune in a recent article said:
ID. c. Bow, Twelfth ware alderman
and father Of the municipal neighbour
mood market project, went out among
the farmers yesterday to learn what
h man who grows received for his
produce and whether he was willing to
drop the various middlemen and help
solve the cost Of living problem by
meeting the consumer direct.
He ended his day among the corn
stalks and cucumber vines with two
very definite conclusions. The first
Was that between 40 and 60 per cent of
the ultimate selling price was distrib-
uted between the time the produce left
the hands OF the man who created ii
and the time 1t finally reached the lips
OF the consumer which, of course,
e that IL the consumer purchased
directly from the farmer, as planned by
Alderman Bow, the purchase could be
made from 40 to so per cent less. The
second conclusion was that the pri-
Nately owned central market to a great
extent controlled food prices and that
the farmers would be highly pleased
with the opportunity Of dealing direct
with the consumer.
In Fargo there is no necessity fol-
going to the expense of creating more
thai one market. If one can be secur
ed and properly managed it will mean
. great reduction in the cost of livine
in this city.

The disposition to eat cold food and

why constipation n diarrhoea is so
prevalent in summer, and there is no
time when people should more care

To regulate the bowels and quickly

believed that during the summer

The Northern Pacific will have consid-
cradle electrical machinery to pur-
chase, and its present electrical plant
will more than likely be removed to

into use there. The removal of the
boilers and dynamos will give the
company additional o. for other

LOWER p r RATES.

The extortionate charges of the ex-
press companies will soon become a
thing Of the past. The new rates may
not be entirely satisfactory to ship
pers-but there Is, at least, a promise
of relief. The state railway commits
sion has held hearings on this matter
in Grand Forks and Fargo. II is quite
probable that no action will be taken
by the commission pending the in
yestigation by the interstate Com
merce commission-but there is some
satisfaction that relief is in sight.
When the Interstate Commerce COM
mission orders a reduced rate-it is
probable that the North Dakota COM
mission win then insist on an equitable
adjustment for this state.
North Dakota is paying a far high
er rate than Minnesota and South Da.
kota, The shippers allege discrimin-
ation-and it looks as If their COM
plants are backed up by facts.
There are protests by shippers in all
forms. One is by the importers of
horses. From New York to Chicago
a distance of between 900 and 1000
miles-the rate on a car of horses is
$500. But from New York to Fargo
the rate is $3.50. The express is more
than double, while the increased dis
lance Is only two-thirds.
with congress reaching an agree
ment on a parcels post plan-shippers
will no longer be at the mercy of the
companies for small packages.
The North Dakota press-arguing in
the interests Of the rural merchants
for years was largely opposed to the
parcels post system. But that is the
only argument against the plan. To
protect the merchants against all pur
chasers is admittedly class legislation.
The small merchants have a remedy.
They can advertise their business and
compete with the mail order houses.
Reduced express rates will be Sc
cured OF all sized packages within a
short ~period-and the shippers and
consumers will no longer be bled that
the express companies may split up
huge dividends.
