The members of the Masonic fra
ternity of Bismarck will dedicate
their new temple on February 10Th
with appropriate ceremonies. Res
Ildents of Bismarck are especially
proud Of the achievement of the To-
cal lodge. and will do all in their
r0.s,t ia make the dedication eNer-

a vigorous effort is being made to
secure the revision of rates ON cream
in cans shipped from North Dakota
points. 1t is charged that rates to
the Twin Cities are made abnormal
~ low IN order to encourage ship
ments to creameries there, and that
unusually high prices are paid by
eastern buyers for cream at stations
where there are local creameries.
Then, when the local creamery has
Dcen shut up, down comes the price
of cream. The result is to discour-
age the creamery business in North
| Dakota in the interest of the eastern
buyer.
