Romance Sometimes Turks,
as This Story Proves.

If anyone were looking about for an
unlikely place to stage a romance the
chances are, dollars to dingbats. that he
would choose a newspaper shop.
There in a wilderness of waste pa
per and worn tempers, nothing short
of an icthyosaurus or a city editor
would apparently have chance for
life. The unbeiever would scott loud
SCOTS if he were told that romance
actually had its genesis mid the roar
of the Hoes and Gosses and the vail
ings of reporters who had their stuff
"cut down" to whisper
Huh" he would say. And aVhen a
man says Huh" he means much. Ro-
nance in a newspaper shop would have
just about the same chance AS
a hollyhock in cyclone
But in spite of all that-in spite of
worn tempers and waste paper and
roaring presses and cub reporters and
other wild animals that infest the jour
nalistic thickets-there stands record :

who. according to the best of history,
met each other in an Atlanta newspaper

Treat Special, One Of the Finest

This Morning On Trip to Coast
Big MOVEMENT
OF SETTLER seen

Aberdeen, S. D., April 80. 2.
Shaner, general immigration agent for
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad, was in Aberdeen for day
with ]. H. frey, local immigration
agent for the road. on his return from
Bismarck, N. D., where he attended a
meeting of the Missouri Slope Devel-
opment league of North Dakota. Mr..
Shaner while here stated there would
be a strong immigration movement
from the east TO the west this year;
that eastern homeseekers are greatly
interested in the possibilities in the
Dakotas and Montana, and his depart
ment is in receipt of thousands of in
quiries relative to prices of land,
chances for filing on homesteads, etc.
He said the Milwaukee's exhibit car,
showing farm products of western
states, which first toured the east two
years ago, had been received with in
credulity in many sections, the people
refusing to accept as products of the
northwest, the exhibits of farm crops
shown The car last year, however,
met with warm welcome, and since
inquiries for information, advertising
matter, etc, regarding the northwest
had been pouring in at a tremendous
rate. 2, This. Is going to be great
year for the northwest, and particu-
larly for the Dakotas and Montana"
said Mr.. Shaner.

Suit Seeking Its Dissolution
Viii Be Filed Monday
CAN'T AGREE ON A PLAN
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND AT.
ToRNEYs FOR COMPANY GIVE
UP EFFORTS TO REACH AMI.
CABLE UNDERSTANDING AND
WILL GO TO THE COURTS.

Washington, April ga civil anti
trust suit seeking a dissolution of the
international Harvester Co., under the
Sherman law will be filed in Mime
apolis tomorrow. This is the culmlna-
tion of an investigation extending over
five years.
During the past few months, At
torney General Wickersham and coun-
sci for the corporation have made
strenuous efforts to agree on plan Of
disintegration which would meet the
ends Of the law. Their endeavors
were futile and the problem will be
fought out in the courts.
One insuperable obstacle was the re-
fusal OF harvester company to separate
the Mccormick and Deering harvesting
machine companies, subsidiaries, in any
plan of dissolution. The government
maintained that the so-called trust as
whole controlled from IS to 80 per
cent of the harvester business of the
country and its two principal subsid-
aries the Mccormick and Deering com
panies, represented from so to 65 per
cent of the business. Under these con-
ditions the attorney general refused
to consent to any of disintegration
which held the Mccormick and Deer
ing companies as one.
Another important contention OF the
government has been that the inter-
national Harvester Co. of America, the
selling agent of the combination, be
Dissolved. An agreement to this pro-
position probably would have been
reached.
The International Harvester Co. is a
$140,000,000 corporation, composed Of
six subsidiaries 1.-THE Mccormick, Deer
ing, Champion, Milwaukee, Osborne
and Plano companies.

ascribed to the negligence of the

trade remains inert"

The commission holds, however,

Is significant, however, that in every-
