GOOD SIRE MOST ECONOMICAL

1t has been demonstrated again and
again that the cheapest investment

. good pure-bred bull 1t Il not neces-

nor ID It economical The most eco
nomical results can be obtained By
buying ball With mAsculinity enough
behind his good breeding to stamp his
hkeness upon the calves secured.
A striking proof Of this has been
shown on the cattle show circuit 1t
various state fairs this fail. One OF
many instances viii suf1cs. Reeentiy

there was no trouble In distinguish

BETTER NINE CONDITIONS.
Reports Show Loss Of Life is Less
In Last Year Than Formerly.

Denver-A human life was lost in
Colorado's mines for every 10000
tons of coal mined last year. A PEN
atty of ninety-one lives was paid for
the 10.157,3s3 tons of coal produced
by the mines in 1911.
In the first eight months Of 1912
practically the same ratio held good,
for sixty-four men met death in the
industry of coal mining in this state
up to September 1, 1912.
Both years show e great reduction
in the lives lost from 1910, however.
for in that year terrible disasters in
the Trinidad and Louisville fields
brought. the total of miners deaths
up to 1923, or one for each $4,000 tons
of coal produced. This was the high
est average OF deaths in comparison
with tonnage in tho nation in that
year-1910.
1t was partly on account Of this
disastrous showing that the federal
bureau of mines was impelled to send
two of its mine safety cars to Colo
rado. Every effort has been made by

SUICIDE REPORTS
were 0VERORAWN

MINOT, N. D.. March 6.-Mrs. A.
r. Calderwood, who lived in Minot
several years and is now located at
Weyburn, disagrees with the dispatch
printed in several northwestern news
papers that she had committed sui
eide.
Attorney Robert s. Gillespie Of Sat-
urday received a letter from Mrs. Cal
derwood and from the facts stated in
the letter it is evident that the woman
is alive and we'll and perfectly can
tented to sojourn on the terrestrial
ball a while longer.
Mrs. Calderwood left Minot about
two years ago with her husband, who
formerly was a carpenter. Mr.. CAL
derwood was in Minot last summer,
but his wife did not come. They have
a five-months-old baby boy, whom
they call George" and who is the
picture of health.
About December the report reached
North Dakota that Mrs. Calderwood
had committed suicide. Her many
friends in Minot were much grieved to
hear of the supposed tragedy and the
sad event was the subject Of much
about the city.
Now Mrs. Calderwood denies en-
phatically that she is dead and in her
denial is supported by her husband
and little George is willing to side in
with his mother, too.
