IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

J. H. Reed, one of the big farm
ers of the state, was at the Waldorf
the latter part of last week. He is
identified with the great Reed farms
in the neighborhood of Armenia and
he keeps a close tab on what Is going
on in his neighborhood.
Most of the blowing has been done
in our locality" said he, but last
week many of the farmers were plow-
ing in the afternoons. after the ground
had become sufficiently soft after the
freeZe-ups at night. 1t was rather q
curious sight to see this, and l was
told that they were blowing on Satur-
day afternoon down along h South
western railroad. The farmers were
delayed on account of the very late
harvest and the wet weather, but l
am glad to be able TO state that the
work Is nearly through with. This
was a peculiar fall. We had splendid
crops and bid fair to go ahead of any
thing that the state had seen hereto
fore, but the rains came n kept
coming and 1t was by hard. and ener-
getic work hat we got u ~threshing
done, but 1t was finally finished. Our
farmers very generally took the pre-
caution shortly after the grain was
cut to stack it, so that nearly all vas
saved, and I am satisfied that another
year will see practically all Of 1t
stacked, so that the lessons that were
taught the past cas- cannot but
bring about good results"

tary of the Masonic bodies of the

There are thousands Of bushels of
grain remaining in the fields" said
he. the greater part Of which is
shocked. and there are some that have
been stacked, so that the latter at
least is nretty we'll taken ARE of. I
refer to the territory between Winni-
peg and the border line of the United
States. A great deal of this in the
shock will never be threshed. but We
saw many threshers at work as we
passed along In the train, and there
will likely be a good deal threshed if
the weather remains all right. Re
Gently l paid a visit to McCiusky, this
state, and was astonished at the
large amount of grain that is still
standing in the fields. wheat and fax
apparently predominating. There was
not as much by any means as we
saw in Canada, but enough to con-
vince the people that they should
stack their grain in the fall so as
to be prepared for any emergency.
Like in the dominion there were some
threshers at work in our state. and
just north Of us a great deal If
grain will yet be threshed provided
the weather remains all right. In
Canada we saw great fields Of grain
in the shock as we passed along, the
most of which l am sorry to say will
likely never be th%reshed, and it seems
too bad that this is So"

BARGAINS MAY BUILD
Local Investment Company Consider.
ing New Rockford For Location
of Modern Hotel.

New Rockford Transcript: Mr..
Eddy, of Fargo, has been in the city
this week looking up a desirable loca-
ton for the erection of a hotel, modern,
and to have a basement and -four
stories. He states hat a hotel must
be modern to meet the needs of the
city. to have seventy to 100
rooms, forty of which must be provid-
ed with bath.
He was under the impression that
New Rockford had heretofore been
provided with light, water and sewer
age. Learning to the contrary he
would promise nothing unless the city
makes these improvements. Baths
are necessary with any modern hotel
or other building, and they cannot be
operated without water and sewerage.
The people he represents own fine,
modern hotels at Lisbon, N. D., the
elegant Comstock : at Moorhead,
Mimi, and other investments. They
are a most substantial company, and
If our city shows the proper spirit in
providing the necessary improvements
we have every reason to believe they
will build one of the best hotel build
ings in the state in our city.

JUDGE Did not
LIKE EVIDENCE
ADA BROWN WAS DISCHARGED IN
THE CASE AGAINST HER BY
CITY, WHILE THE MAGISTRATE
TALKS PLAINLY TO THE or
FicERs.

Ada Brown. who had a hearing Sat-
urday afternoon on a charge of re-
sorting to rooms, was discharged by
the police magistrate this afternoon
at 2 O'clock.
Judge. Miller in dischargfng the de-
PENDANT said that the chief of police
of the city was more to blame than
either of the parties to the case: as
it was shown that he had secured the
services Of a boy-barely in his ma
jority--to visit the 0 and get the
evidence against the woman, and he
took the position that the evidence of
on accomplish unsupported was insult
ficient to convict. He read the code
which makes it a disdemeanor for q
police chief or any other officer to
connive to bring about the conviction
in a case such as the above. n said
that no detective agency in the world
would resort to such means to secure
evidence in such a case. The judge
spoke for fully half an hour on the
matter.
Miss Brown was represented by
William H. Shure and Attorney Smith
appeared for the city. The latter said
he would give the boy a severe lecture.

Minnesota Death Rate Less.

Late health statistics disclose that
Minnesota. is one of the very healthy
states in the union. Fewer deaths by
500 were recorded in the state during
1911 than in 1910, according to com
plete figures compiled by the state
board of health. There was less ty-
phoid fever, measles, diphtheria, scar
let fever, and kindred communicable
diseases, while tuberculosis, despite
the fight that, is being made against 1t,
increased. There was more pneu-
monia, fewer accidents, more cancer
and more influenza last year than the
year before. The total number of
deaths in 1911 was 23,597. The total
in 1910 was 24,13S.

selves, and patterns, are furnished by
the national headquarters.
The object of this movement Is to
add the power of organization and the
charm of romance to health, work and
play.
They have chosen fire as their symbol
because the hearthstone has long been
considered the center OF the home. IN
this case 1t is an adaptable fire and can
take the form of a candle and serve
the same purpose as a real outdoor
campfire where the latter is Impossible.
Each local group is known as a
Campfire. The amp theme is chosen
more to bring the wholesome spirit Of
the out-of-doors into the home than TO
compel girls to live In camps. Meet
ings can be held anywhere. There is a
weekly meeting for work and a mon
thly meeting for play. This latter Ii
known as the council FIRE and then the
awarding of honor takes place n
new members are admitted. The IeaG-
ar, or head of each o Is known az
the guardian OF the fire.
The Campfire Girls have found a
word which Ats the true basis of the
movement. Out of the first two letters
of the words work, health and love, the
word has been evolved, woheIo. With
these three essentials to back their
caTnpaign-work, health and loye--the
organizers OF the Campfire Girls move
ment hope to give back TO the woman
OF tomorrow through the girl of to-
day, an interest In those fundamental
| activities which for all ages have been
hers. Only give 1t backsto her remod
eled on an ~up-to-date pattern.

BUYS $500 CARS

NORTHERN PACIFIC INVESTS 49,
100000 IN NEW ROLLING
STOCK.

st. Paul, Nov. 18.-To provide ade-
quate transportation for the fruit crop
of the Pacific coast, $500 refrigerator
cars were purchased by the Northern
Pacific road during 1912 and LOO more
have been ordered for 1918, according
to Pres. Howard Elliott. The new
rolling stock involves an expenditure
of 49, so {, 900 and will be a positive fac
tor In preventing the loss of the
perishable fruit.
There is always, says Mr.. Elliott,
a percentage of the fruit that will
not stand the cost of long distance
shipment. In order to prevent the
loss from this source, drying and can
ming industries should be promoted
throughout the country. 1t is general
ly recognized. he says, that the North
west produces the best apples grown
anywhere In the world.
