HOW ONE MAN SAVES.

Even in these days a young man
can save if he has the disposition to
do so. That very few do, is readily
admitted. But the fault is not with
conditions. The trouble is that very
few young men today will pay the
same price for success their fathers
paid. We have in mind an IIdepen-
dence young man who has proved that
saving is possible. His salary is $22
a week. Sometimes he makes extra.
two good building lots, making small
payment on them. Two years ago he
had the lots paid for. Then he bor-
rowed $500 and got ready to build him
self a home The excavating he did
himself. Everything that he could do
himself he did. He erected a nice
bungalow home of six rooms and bath.
He painted the house himself; he grad
ed the lot, and almost kept his family
on what he raised in the summer from
his two lots. This week he makes the
last payment on the loan and has clear
of all encumbrance a neat little pro-
perty that could not be duplicated for
s1.Soo And this young man has a
wife and three children. He lives
within his means and he saves a part
of what he earns.-Independence Re-
porter.
THE DEAD BEAT
"A Oedu OedC can get along IN any
community for a year or two. He
can get a living without working
UGH until people come to know him.
But no dead beat ever got rich, or
independent. No dead beat ever oc-
oupied warm place in the hearts of
his acquaintances. No just man seeks
his company or wants to be called his
friend, and when he makes a pre-
tense of responsibility the people
know that he is adding hypocrisy to
his other shortcomings. He gets on
fairly well when times are good and
the sailing is smooth, but when the
sQual comes, and it surely will, he
will find his little boat crushed and
no one willing to stand by with a
helping hand. A man convicted of
murder is comforted by the sympathy
of most good people, and sustained
by his friends who hope to establish
his innocence. But when trouble over
takes aadead beat he is friendless and
hopeless as a new born puppy in
the middle of a desert. Go hungry
Freeze. Beg if you must, but never
peat the man who trusts you with
SHOES to warm your baby's feet, or
loans you money because you have
none.-Blue Mound Sun.

REGULATING PRICE OF RREAD.

EdO1A11NG HhlCE OE BREAD.
In France the price of bread, which Is
the principal article OF food. is regulated
according to law. 1t has been the care of
several French communes and municipal
tiles, of which Lyons is one, acting on a
national law passed in 1871, to regulate
the price Of bread by local ordinance. A
much greater number of communes ana
cities, Paris among others, have in prac-
tice an arrangement whereby the bakers
themselves establish the price of bread.
In such cases the authorities pay close
attention to the action of the bakers 10
the end that the cost of bread to the con-
sumner is made as low practicable. In
one recent instance south of Lyons where
the official price was in force, the bakers
felt themselves put on too close profit
margin by the township and struck work
with the intention of leaving the popula-
ton breadless. 1t was only after the
town council through the mayor was on
the point of signing contracts for the iii
portation of the necessary thousands of
leaves from a neighboring center that the
striking bakers resumed work--New Or
ieanS Picayune.

N C0EY WILL
FLY ROUND
STATE

Grand Forks, N. D., April lo.-F. G.
Kenworthy left on Sunday evening for
Winnipeg, where he will spend the
next few days lining up schedule for
flights this coming season. The local
man was summoned to the "Peg' by
a representative of the syndicate who
plans on furnishing aeroplane flights
for cities in western Canada, and who
have picked Tom Mccoy as one of the
picked cards. Mr.. Kenworthy has had
correspondence with the commercial
clubs Of Brandon, Moose Jaw, saska-
toon, Calgary, Regina and other points
in the western end of the dominion,
but stated before he left here on Sun
day evening that if the syndicate will
offer enough, he will let them sched-
ule the flights.
A rather complete schedule is being
considered by the Kenworthy- Me- oey
firm, the big feature of which will be
an over state trip, which will be made
by Mccoy in the new machine. Start
ing from Grand Forks, a flight will be
made to all the cities on the main line
of the Great Northern railroad, stops
being made in the principal towns for
flights. A few of the branch line cities
will also be visited.
The local aviator will guide his ma
chine as far west as Williston and from
there will go south to the main line of
the Northern Pacific. The return to the
eastern part of the state will include
all of the cities of any Importance and
cities On the branch lines. A big avia-
ton event is planned for Fargo in
which both of the local men will fly.
The return trip is not as yet decided
upon. Tt is possible that the line through
Crookston will be followed, although it
may be that to make the flight all-state
the return from Fargo will be made by
the way of Hillsboro.
While this plan is still in an en-
bryonic stage, the commercial clubs Of
the various cities of the state are TAX

LAST TINE HERE

MAKES HIS FIRST VISIT TO DEv.
Ills LAKE IN 1881-THINGS
HAVE CHANGED.

II. M. Taber of Jamestown arrived
in the city last night in company with
DIR. B. II. Kroeze, president of the
Jamestown college, and they are stop.

completed will be somewhat similar to
the local library.
The last time Mr.. Taber visited Dew
lis Lake was in 1881 and since that
time he says things have changed won
derfully, both in building and morally.
''It was in the spring Of 1881, when
I visited Devils Lake the last time,''
said Mr.. Taber. "There was party
of us came over here merely for an
outing and to see the sights. In the
party were Mr.. and Mrs. Winslow and
myself. The Winslows came out from
Pennsylvania to visit me and I brought
them over to show them Devils Lake,
and I'll tell you they saw some lively
town too.
We drove across the country to Fort
Totten where we left our team and
came across Devils Lake on the Min
ME H., and at that time the boat
brought us right up to the city where
we had only short distance to walk
into town. can remember that night.
There was an editorial convention here
and they were having a dance. It
surely was some time, for everyone
was enjoying himself.
There were no real hotels here then,
and we went over to a farm house
owned by man named Brown, where
we secured lodging. Jim Winslow and
I slept on the floor with a lot of 9th

ours. We layed there until about two

for more. The moral appearance is
better and the town looks clean, while
in those days, like all the other North
Dakota towns, it certainly was tough

COUNCIL DID NOT

ABSENCE OF MAYOR AND CITY

ACTING ON MATTERS,

Owing to the fact that the mayor
was absent from the city, the city aud
itor being away also, it was impossible
for the council to 60 ahead with the
business they had planned for last
night.
While there were enough councilmcn
present to handle the business it was
thought advisable by the city attorney
to adjourn until Friday night as the
city auditor was not present and no
law could be found as to an appoint.
ment of temporary officer to fill his
place. There is considerable business
to be performed where legal technical
tiles will figure strongly should any
complications arise and hence the meet.
ing was adjourned until the auditor
could be here.
During the short session last night
Sam Wineman acted as mayor, while
Avery johnson filed the vacancy of
the auditor, both men acting only long
enough to make motion of adjourn
ment.
Mr.. Kerlin sent letter to the Hon
Mayor and common council in which
he had stated his desire to reduce the
rates on electric current. He also said
he had looked into the light rate ques-
tion in other states and had found
there was nothing to govern light
charges.
The proposed reduction of the light
company, while not large, would re-
duce the cost to the common users
about two cents per kilowat. The let
ter was not read in open council last
night but with the other business was
held over until Friday night when the
adjourned session will be held.
Mr.. Stotlar was in the council rooms
to see about his franchise but that,
also, had to hold over with the rest Of
the business.
