@AHE man in the moon was very bright that evening. Jack and Evelyn
loved to look up and wonder about him.

Many Indian young men looked at the chiefs daughter and sighed with
love, but they sighed in vain, for she would marry none of them.
"Her father was quite content, for bis wife was dead, and he needed some
one to look after his lodge and cook his food.
1.-THE maiden was quite content until one day when she was out In the for

Nevertheless 1 shall marry your daughter, the young man declared IS he

Nov, the old chief was very angry and he stole about until he found the
lodge which the young couple had built so that they might go to housekeeping
Rushing in, the chief tried to strike his daughters husband. The young man
at once made himself invisible, for he did not wish to quarrel with his father

Fargo is long on motorcycles. The
number increases each year. The mo-
torcycles have passed the luxury stage
and are now down to a utility propo-
sition. They have proven very useful
along many lines. The rural mail
carriers probably get the best use Of
the machines-though they have little
on the telephone linemen, the country
doctors and solicitors for
and other periodicals popular in the
rural districts.
The present motorcycles are far
from being perfect, though they are a
great Improvement on those in use
four or FIVE years ago. One of the OBJ
Iectionable features is the noise made
by the I1achine-so annoying to every
body within a block. This may be
overcome by some kind of a mufffer.
There are stories Of great injuries to
the spines Of the m~otorcyclists by
continued use Of the machines. 1t is
claimed that a few years will cause
permanent injury to riders-in a loss
of nerve force.
The machines are rapidly multiply

THE STATE FAIR.

This is Fargo's year to entertain the
perambulating state fair. Next week
is the date for the big show. That Il
will be an immense exposition seems
assured. President Lewis and Secre-
tary Talcott have done some strenu-
Gus work to make the big meet a sue
cess. 1t is claimed that Secretary
Talcott never sleeps and rarely eats,
He is on the job day and night and
when he and the president get their
heads together there is something do
ing.
From the number of entries 1t is
safe to state there win be more live
stock exhibited this year than ever
seen in one display in North Dakota.
There will be high bred horses from
the tiny Shetland ponies to the huge
Percherons n Clydesdales, There
will be cattle from the dainty and
deer-like Jersey heifers to the NAM
moth shorthorns. Hogs of all colors
and sizes will be shown-and there
will be sheep galore.
But the live stock exhibit-which is
always an interesting feature of a
fair-will not be the whole thing. The
officials proudly announce a long line
of exhibits in many departments. The
machinery exhibit and the display at
the Merchants pavilion will be the
largest attractions-but no more so
than numerous other exhibits.
In lines of entertainment the pres
emit officials have extended themselves
till they have attractions that should
excite the attention and interest of
the thousands who will be at the fair.
The horse racing will be high class,
The races between competing and rival
a~yiators will be something never at
tempted in North Dakota before and
should furnish thrillers. There will
be high class vaudeville and other free
exhibitions in front of the grandstand
and entertaining shows on the ground
each night. One Of the browning fea-
lures will be the fireworks two even
ings. No such pretentious effort has
ever been attempted before and the
visitors have a rare treat in store.
One thing on which the officials are
to be congratulated is the announce
ment that all fake and swindling
games will be barred. In former years
there was some criticism on the games
The operators were able to fleece YER
dant visitors. It sent them and their
friends away very bitter-and the
skin games looked rank to the spec
tators. 1t is stated that all this class
Of graft will be absolutely abolished
The officials r to be commended
for their stand. Any other course
would nave resulted in criticism ant
condemnation. The little temporary
revenue to be secured from these
graft games can never compensate fol
the permanent injury they do the fail
association.
1t looks like the fair officials have
made every effort to get a large line
Of exhibits and entertainments-ant
that they have done everything tt
safeguard the visitors.
The big show opens Monday, Jul,
%, and continues till Saturday night
July q.
There viii be something to interes
all.

SUGAR sEETs.

Commenting on the growth of sugar
beets in the United States, The Toledo
Blade had the following comment, in
Guiding a reference to North Dakota:
A few years ago It was the inn
preston among American farmers that
sugar beets were soil e~xhausters.
They would, said critics, drain 1t Of
it's fertility, compel seasons of rest,
and in certain cases actual abandon
ment of farms.
That impression has goneto join the
belief in the moons control over crops,
the mandrake's cry and the poisonous
nature of tomatoes. The sugar beet
not only does not rob the soil, but on
the contrary feeds 1t and enriches it.
It's root breaks into depths that be-
fore have not been available for plant
production. A way is made for mois-
ture to penetrate and the root decay
ing makes infertile ground into fer
tile.
Germany and Kansas sowed the
same acreage to wheat in 1907. The
Germans reaped 145,000,000 bushels.
The Kansans harvested $4,000, 900
bushels. The difference is said to be
due to the fact that German soil has
been fortified and prepared by rotat-
ing crops with sugar beets. France
sowed the same acreage as did Kan
sas, Minnesota and North Dakota.
French farmers took $4,000, 900 bush
els from their land made ready by SUI
gar beets. The farmers Of the three
American states reaped a crop Of 1885,
600, 900 bushels from their land, al
most virgin soil in comparison with
that of France. Upon sugar beet land,
the Germans have averaged thirty
bushels to the acre where before the
introduction Of the beet they reaped
1913 bushels.
When a thorough system of rotation
of crops has been adopted in this coun-
try Of which the sugar beet is a part,
81 1000, 000, 900 a year-it is estimated
will be added to the value Of Amer
lean farm products.

AFTER FROM THE FORUM
BIBLE.

Did you aver hear of the Sunshine
society?
Such an organization exists and its
object is to incite its members to the
performance of kind and helpful deeds.
They also bring the sunshine of hap
piness to the hearts of homes Of shut
ms" or those who through some un-
fortunate circumstance are shut up In
the home.
Did you ever notice how the face
of a child lights VI when you smile
at it as you pass on the street? Your
smile as a ray of sunshine for the lit
tie one.
There are many kind and helpful
deeds that bring sunshine and hapFi-
ness to others and usually cost less
effort that the gloomy look.
"A member of the Sunshine society
recently got several copies IF the Illus
trated Bible which the Forum s. Re-
publican offers to its readers. She said
she wanted to present them to ONE
little "shut-ins" who would be amused
by the beautiful pictures distributed
throughout the volume.
While thus being amused one also
acquires a wealth Of Bible lore that
will be of rare value. For indeed the
Bible is an educational work. Abra-
ham Lincoln said that hardly a quo
tation was used that did not have its
origin in this great book of books.
If you want to brighten the path of
some poor unfortunate present him
with this magnificent copy of the BIZ
