IS AAKER TO
HEAD A new
n. D. TICKET?
Mysterious Conferences Held BY
PrOgressives Today
Claim That Nothing Definite
Has Been DOne''
Senator Pettigrew Of South
Dakota Here Last Night

Several mysterious conferences from
which the outside public have been
excluded have been the extent Of the
deliberations of the Roosevelt or third
party Of North Dakota in the city
today. All of these have been held I'm
one of the rooms on the fourth floor
of the Gardner hotel where the leaders
have been admitted virtually on the
password system. ss.#
At 2:3O o'clock this afternoon 1t was
stated that nothing definite had yet
been accomplished but that the pro
ceedings of the day could be made
public tonight. 1t was learned. how
ever, that one of the purposes of the
meeting is for the selection OF a full
state ticket to put In the field.
H., III. Aaker of Fargo, whose resig-
nation from the. list of republican
electors on the ticket this fall was
announced this morning, it is learned,
will be the choice of bull moosers for
governor against Congressman Hanna
and Warden Hellsuom. This after
noon it was understood that no such
action had yet been taken though at
noon Mr.. Aaker himself said he would
not object to any such action.
Aaksr's Statement.
while / have not been asked by
any Of the leaders of the new third
party in the state to head the ticket
for governor" he said, II would seri-
ously consider such a proposition in
the face Of the present situation. A
number of my own personal friends
have asked me to become a candidate
for the governorship on the progress
sive ticket, but / have not been def
nitely approached by any of the mem-
bers of the executive committee of the
third party"
In certain circles it has been rumor-
ed, however, that Mr.. Aakers resigna-
ton from the list of electors on the
republican ticket was only the pre-
hminary step Of plan to nominate
him for governor.
Among those present at the confer
ence today are David Bartlett of
Cooperstown, Mayor Sweet Of Fargo,
A. Y. More of Fargo and national COM
mitteeman from this state, Dorr III.
Carroll of Minot and others. Judge
Lauder is expected up from Wahpeton

with the leaders tonight.
1t Is reported the Wahpeton jurist

in the First district on the third party
ticket.

The Hull House Players sprang
into existence II years. ago.
Dramatics were being attempted
sin hit and miss fashion by the
various social clubs, and the COM
ing of Mrs. Pelham, a Shakes

House, was seized upon as veri-
table answer to prayer by Miss
Jane Addams.

of the clubs was chosen. With

and come directly from office,
factory or school room to re-

In answer TO a query as to method
or rule for determining the sex of
geese an exchange makes the follow
ing reply:
There are no marks by which one
can tell the gander from the goose.
The only ways are to watch the ac-
tons OF the birds and to notice the
differences in their voices. The gan
der has what is popularity called a
tenor voice. 1t is possible that all
tour OF your birds may be geese. If

to raise any goslings even if you do
secure ganders. This is because The
mating season is in the fall. usually IN

their quarters changed when once
accustomed to them For this reason
people who wish to secure birds for
breeding purposes make their pur-
chascs in the fall so the fowls will &c:

eggs laid. but the eggs may not hatch.

Marketing Farm Products.

There is no question but that in the
selling OF farm products there is too
great margin between the price cf
the farmers product before shipment
and the price paid by the consumer.
Ii is often easy TO produce certain
crop or product on the farm. but the
trouble begins when i; comes to plac
ing the outut on the market. Too
many do not study the market close
enough to learn its demands. There Is
little excuse for this. The rural deliv-
cry and telephone has put the farmer
in touch with things SO that he can
get profits out of his selling of farm
better turn his sales Ia meet trade and
products.
Every farmer, aside from studying
the production of a particular article
i'll which he can see profit. should
keep posted SO that il it is for the be It
he can make a change Ia such crop
or product for which there is a de
mand Ever community should have
farmers organization or club that
meets regularly To discuss farm prob
lens. The exchange OF ideas is help
iul. and community can learn 10
work together by studying the ways
OF markets and club together in max
ing profitable shipments. Often large
profitable shipments. Often a large
shipment OF certain product will
bring much larger profits than VIII
small individual shipments. 1t IS also
possible To establish neighborhood
reputation for high grade product
that is uniform in quality. Many pee
picking problems may be worked ouf
by combining effort. Try it.

GIVING CHARCOAL TO FOWLS.
Puts Them in Good Condition for
Work and Prevents Disease.

Dies the average farmer know that
an excellent grade of charcoal can
be made by burning corn cobs till
they turn red, extinguishine the fire
and when dry grinding Tor mash
feeding for the poultry.
Charcoal is not food. though
fowls gain in flesh and eggs during
its use; j, simply puts them and keeps
them in good condition for work
1t prevents disease because of its
great capacity to absorb gases. aciis
and impurities. 1t is an alternative,
changing diseased conditions to nor
NAL, disinfecting the digestive tract
and toning up the system.
In putrid diseases like roup. in fer
mentation. like sour crop. in intestinal
maladics like diarrhea or cholera. il is
OF great benefit. In spring and in
summer when the fowls blood is slug
gish it is needed as purifier to ward
off diseases incidental to these sea
sons.
1t should be kept before fowls in
size to suit their age. and where fowls
refuse to eat il fine charcoal should
be mixed in the mash occasionally. Il
is best given TO individual birds in
FIVE grain capsules-large doses are
necessary.
