Gibson CONCRETE
SUPPLY COMPANY.

One Of the important manufacturing
industries OF Fargo is that which has
to do with the making OF concrete
stone for building purposes.
For some years this industry has
been confined TO the making Of various
blocks of different sizes and shapes
from sand, gravel and. cement mixed in
a more or less dry state and tamped
into forms by hand and in some cases
by machine hampers which results in a
stone product of rather brittle charac-
ter and not sufficiently imprevious to
air and moisture to. afford entirely sat
isfactory results from the builders
viewpoint. 5...
only by the pouring OF soft concrete
properly mixed into a,strong steel press
and subjecting the forming stone to
great pressure suficient to force the
aggregates of which the stone is to be
composed into the closest possible re-
lation and so as to turn out a finished
stone as nearly identical in texture as
the natural stone Of which IT is in
tended to be. an imitation. ,
The Chilson Concrete, supply Co., Is
the only manufacturing concern in
Fargo or vicinity employing this proc
ess and the quality of the stone made
by 1t is highly interesting to all who
visit its plant n are permitted to
witness the forming of raw materials
into building stones OF dependable
character. each and every stone made
being subjected to al hydraulic pres
sure of 1000 pounds and so faced as
to closely simulate granite, marble or
other substantial and handsome build
ing blocks. A visit to this excellent
plant will well repay the intending
builder.

Kansas City Star: Several years ago
a northern Missouri farmer came to
Kansas city to spend a few days. and
registered for a room 1t one of the
larger hotels. When he learned the
price he was to pay for the Dor
he was stunned. He considered 1t an
extremely high rate, but since he had
already registered he decided not to
be a gutter, and kept the room.
The first night, just az the farmer
had fallen asleep, the bell boy rushed
into his room, turned on the light
and exclaimed:
Get up! Better hurry The hotel
is on flrei"
The mar raised himself on one ell

at the boy. Finally he said:

Sick Ginaretfes-

Every Easter, on my annual junkec

half Of must and half of camphor."

Egyptian cigarette as big as cigar.
Il used to think" he continued,
''that it was my imagination-but no
as soon as I'd strike the salt
marshes on my way down, my Gig
arettes would begin to have that
nauseating, musty favor. I'd almost
have to give up smoking. The fault
I've since found, lay with the sea air.
Sea air, salt and moist, makes tobacco
'sick'-'sick' is the trade term. Sick
tobacco is tobacco in which grows a.
microbe-an invisible moss or fungus
that burns with a disagreeable,
camphorlike aroma. So, If you are a
smoker, be careful on your trip to the
shore this Easter TO protect your
cigars and cigarettes from sickness
The only protection is an alright box
or Jar. Even this sometimes fails"

Lovers Waited Long.

A miracle of patience was the court
ship of a worthy sIipper-maker of the
town of Elbing, Western Prussia, and
his bride of a few days. Their be-
trothal had lasted for 80 years. When
the man was % years of age a mar
riage between the pair was actually
arranged, but at the last moment an
affiuent aunt on whose fortune they
had been counting interposed with
the threat Of disinheritance in case
this particular union should take
place. Accordingly the wedding was
postponed till the obstacle should
have been removed. 1t was not long
before the aunt died, but when her
will was opened 1t was found that she
had bequeathed her possessions to her
nephew only on condition that he did
not marry the girl of his choice for
at least another 80 years With COM
bination of fidelity and prudence
which is deserving Of wonder, If not
Of admiration, the couple calmly set
themselves to wait out this term. Il
has at last expired, and they have be-
come man and wife, though # should
be added that the marriage ceremony
had to take place in the house of the
bridegroom, who is now confined ia
his room by heart complaint
