Jack and Evelyn smiled They felt that they knew a good
deal about the country.
TITS about Teddie Trent I'll tell you a story. Teddie was a city boy who
went to visit his uncle Henry, who lived on a real farm
when Tedde got to the station there was Aunt Maria, with the horse and
buggy, waiting for him.
When old Senn, the horse, began to trt home, Teddie looked around
him. He could see nothing but fields, with here and there a house.
What grows in the feldsT Teddie asked. and Aunt Maria explained that
corn grew in some of them.
oh. yes, exclaimed reddie. 4 know what it's like, we have It o the
cob for dinner at our house,
$50 you do Amt Maria agreed. You have II, too, in the cornmeal which
your mother uses in making the mush which you have for breakfast
And is there anything else growing in these big fields? the little boy
asked again as they passed along.
Yes. wheat grows in these other fields Aunt Maria answered. Wheat
supplies the seeds that are ground up for -four used in making bread
When I'm a man. he said. maybe I'll keep a farm and grow wheat
Aunt Maria beamed, and % they drove into her own gate she told him
that perhaps Uncle Henry would teach him to be a farmer.
"Teddie was up bright and early In the morning His uncle had gone to
the fields, for farmers begin their work early. When Tedde finished his eggs
and rolls and glass of milk he said:
Nov. aunhe, Tn ready to start learning to be a farmer
Very well. dear. she answered. Then you may go out into the fields
and help Uncle Henry sw wheat. That's what he is doing today
would you mind giving me a needleT Teddie asked. coming back ana
the needle.
"A little later Uncle Henry and the hired man were startled to hear Ted
die call. as he came running into the field:
oh, Uncle Henry. I'm going to help you sew the wheat See. i've brought
my needle and thread right along with me-"
"Teddie knows now that you don't SOW wheat that way, but he haB never
heard the last OF his funny mistake"

PRIVATE scoVER Is ACCUSED OF
aossING FARMER NEAR
ROAD HOUSE.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 6.-Private
Scover Of Co. A Of Fort Lincoln was
arrested by Chief of Police Mcdonald
in connection with the holdup of w. c.
Wagner last Sunday night. Scover
was brought Jack to the city and is
now confined in the county jaiL. He
will be given a preliminary hearing
in the next few days.
The attempt to cash the two postal
savings checks which were taken
from Wagner led to the arrest Of
Scover. He came to the p~ostofice
Tuesday afternoon and made an at
tempt to cash the savings checks.
Postal Clerk Francis Halloran was
on duty at the time Scover attempted
to cash the saving checks and ne
identified Scover at the forth this
morning.
Scover had signed the name OF VIM.
{. Wagner on the checks and there
fore will be held for forgery in con-
nection with the holdup. When
Scover appeared at the window Hall

location of his home. He gave the

victim of the holdup. When asked

and told Halloran to keep the checks
q few minutes and that he would get
someone to identify, him. He left the
p~ostofice. but never returned. Hal
loran notified Chief Mcdonald of the
incident but he could not locate Scover
on the streets.
Halloran accompanied the chief to
the fort and through the courtesy of
Major Albright they located Scover.
Scover was brought into headquarters
with two other soldiers and Halloran
identified him, Scover was questioned
by the major and positively denied that
he was connected with the holdup and
also denied that that he endeavored to
cash the postal checks. He was told
to write his W name and also the
! INT of VIM. c. Wagner. He. did this
and it could be plainly seen that the
hand writing on the postal checks was
the same as Scover had written for
the major. He was placed under ar
rest by Chief Mcdonald immediately.

ROOSEVELT TO-DAY.

Theodore Roosevelt, mighty hunter,
former rancher, soldier, author, editor,
the only living ex-president, regulator
of the universe-and chief bull mooser
is in Fargo today. There are a lot Of
North Dakotans here to greet him.
His reception was sufficiently enthus-
iastic to please even a man who is
more dificult to satisfy than the rough
rider.
The colonel is a magnetic individual
and Fingered up the shouters today in
magnificent style. That his personal
popularity still remains high is very
evident to any one who was in the
city today. Despite the fact he was
defeated by LaFollette for the North
Dakota delegation to the national re-
publican convention--he will get a
large vote in this state in November.

RURAL CARRIERS.

Rural letter carriers on standard
routes will, after Sept. 80, receive
ki,1oo-instead of, as now, $1,000 a
year. The increase as provided in
the postoffice appropriation bill enact
ed at the recent session of congress,
affects directly 80, 900 employees. It is
a partial response to a righteous de-
n1snd long advanced by the carriers.
Carriers on shorter routes will recejvs
prcportionate increases.
An idea of the growth of the rural
Tree delivery system is gained from a
contrast in the number of carriers EN- :
ployed sixteen years ago, when the
service was first founded-and those
on the governments payrolls today.
In sixteen years this army has risen
from eighty three to AZ, 03I, the figures
presented at the end of the past fed

The difference in these statistics
does not represent merely the expan-
sion OF the service. It is an index, as

streaked with gray, and realize that
most OF these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful col

the proper treatment. There is no
necessity for gray hair under sixty five
years of age, and there Is no excuse
for anyone, young or old, having thin,
struggling hair, either full of dandruff
or heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessiye oil. .
You can bring back the natural coll

loose hairs, and make your hair grow
strong and beautiful by using Wyeth's

been used for restoring and preserving
the color of the hair; and sulphur is
recognized by Scalp Specialists as be-

The state republican central COM
srnittee met and organized. Frank
sEprague of Grafton was made chair
man and J. W. Foley of Bismarck,
Secretary. No fault can be found with
these selections. A strong executive
scommittee was selected to assist the
chairman and the secretary in their
work.
The platform, in the main. is fairly
Satisfactory. 1t is shorn of much of
sthe usual buncombe that is frequently
BANDED out.
y The committee adopted a resolution
latter q relation Of incidents in con-
nection with the national republican
convention--that support of President
9Taft would not be regarded as a test
of party fealty. This resolution was
by nc means unanimous-several
members OF the committee asking to
be recorded as strongly against It.
IS The adoption Of this resolution shows
d weakness on the part of the commit
tee. II the republican party of this
state 10 to reject Taft-then 1t must
reject the principles of the party as
enunciated by the Chicago convention.
1he same crowd who nominated Taft
also made UP the national republican
z platform. 1t looks like a poor subter-
fuge to swear allegiance to the Chica-
. go platform and the republican party
land discredit the nominee.
Roosevelt refused to stand by the
results of the national republican con-
-vention-and started a third party.
The republican committee Of North
Dakota has virtually di~scredited the
results Of the convention. Wherein
does 1t differ from ROOSEVELT In the
latter's case, he had the decency to
leave the republican party and start
a little side show OF his own. The
North Dakota republican committee
is less brave. 1t still hides under the
cloak Of the republican organization.
The resolution Of the state central
committee thoroughly emasculates
the organization.
1t should have the effect Of giving
over the republican vote of North
Dakota to Roosevelt-who is at
tackinG the republican party.
The results of the state central COM
ruittee indicate that the Roosevelt
a~ympathizers have slipped one over
on h republicans. The bull moosers
themselves could scarcely have asked
;for-or done a better Job.
The committee has gone on record
as stating to the voters of the state:
You can vote for whatever candidate
you wish for president-repubIcan,
democrat, bull moose or socialist-and
YOU can still be a republican-if you
care to be enrolled under such a
~1headless. discredited organization"
: After that, If the bull moosers put in

Indeed be an u~ngrstsful bunch.
