BUYING FURS IN
HOT Weather
PEOPLE LOOKING AHEAD FOR
WINTER SEASON DURING THE
HEATED TERM - MANY ARE
BUYING THEIR FURS NOW
READY FOR THE EARLY FALL.

Yes it is hot but the fur store Is
getting to be a busy place as shrewd
buyers are beginning to make their
fall selections earlier every year
realizing that the stock is complete
and all styles of garments are on hand
to select from, the fur mar who knows
turs has the time to give his customer
all the desired information about
them and by making a small payment
on any article will lay them aside for
you and give you the benefit of the
summer discount which moun TO
1879 and is a good Investment as j. is
but for three months.
The repair department and factory
of Joseph & Hoenck has been doubled
in size this year and they will there
fore be in a position to employ more
help n take care of their fast in
creasing business in good shape which
now extends from Eastern Minnesota
TO washington. Few customers
realize that it would be impossible to
get help to do one-half Of the fur
work If everybody waited until fall to
have their work done and a word to
the wise right here. Have your work
done in the summer time when the
proper time comes be allotted to each
job by each mechanic and there Is no
hurrying, overtime etc. to hinder the

Matinee RACES
NEXT SATURDAY
DISAPPOINTMENT OF MATINEE
RACES FROM LAST SATURDAY
ON ACCOUNT OF RAIN WILL;
HAVE BETTER RESULTS IN THE
END THAN ANTICIPATED.

The postponement OF the races
scheduled from last Saturday will
work for a larger number of horses
and better contests. Several of the
horses now racing at Crookston will
be shipped here for the matinee before
going to Grand Forks for the state fair
and several Of the horses entered for
the races at the Forks are here now
getting in condition and they nave all
entered for the trotting n pacing
race.
The runners are rounding into shape
and as there are six ponies entered in
this event the result will be in doubt
until the winners nose is under the
wire. The motorcycle rae will have
at least five starters and there may be
two more entries before the close on
Friday morning at 10 o'clock.
The music for the races will be fur
nished by DR.. Putnam's band and this
is a guarantee that it will be of the
best. The first programme should be
well patronized because if it is a sue
cess there will be five more races given
on Saturday afternoons.
The promoters intend to change the
programmes and will put on a roadster
race with owners to drive on the first
Saturday in August and also offer
prizes for various events. It is expect
ed TO nave ball gameS and other ath-
letic sports as we'll as the races on
each afternoon and if the patronage is
sufficient to justify the continuance of
the events the programmes will be
made very interesting to all the peo-
pie.
The closing Of the stores on Satur-
day afternoons makes a good crowd
practically assured and every person
should go out if he can possibly do
so. h amount of the purses will be
announced from the judges stand De-
fore each race.
The track is in first class condition
and the motorcycles are working out
there each evening and the horses are
making good time each day. If no
more rain falls before Saturday the
track will be lightning fast and bet
ter than 2:10 time can be looked for.
There will be no skin games allowed
on the grounds and the refreshment
privilege will be held by one man.
This will allow the people to see the
races without being importuned to
purchase this or that article. There
will be no charge made at the gate for
the admission Of automobiles or car
riageS.

Or. Frank Crane on FIunkins.
Copyright, 1913, by Frank Crane.

(Copyrlght, 1913, by Frank Crane.)
Never mind! That you have funk
ed in school does not always mean
either that you are lazy or incompe-
tent.
On he contrary; it may be an evil
dence of o u ability.
Schools are arranged upon the prin-
clple that there are so many cubic
feet Of knowledge which a pupil is
supposed to put into his brain in order
to entitle him to pass from one grade
to another.
Also upon the theory that you can
not know about a given subject unless
you are able to talk or write about it;
In other words, to pass a written or
oral examination.
Both of these propositions are I'M
sound. They rest upon a theory Of
education which is out of date; the
theory that education consists in a
student measuring up to a prearranged
system.
True education consists in the de-
Velopment of the individual ,child's
faculties, whatever they may be.
A child may be by nature incapable
of mastering mathematics, as Lord
Macaulay. was. He may have a nat
ural antipathy to Latin and Greek.
His Creator may have made him with
an Unborn taste for music, or for agri-
culture, or for machinery, n with
possibilities of great efficiency in these
directions. A system of education
that takes NJ account of individual
trend Is not education at all: for edu-
cation is the bringing out of what is
in a person and not stuffing into him
what he a never digest nor assim-
ilate. THE idea of grading pupils by
the amount of text book stuff they can
eat mentally is medieval.
The examination is pure humbug.
No examination is any test of what
one understands or can do. ' 49,, .
Writing or speaking is a gift, often
1t is a trick. The pupil who can tell
a thing most glibly is by no means
the one who best comprehends 1t. A
mar may be able to manage a bank,
or make h~orseshoes, or speak a for
eign language, or command a regi-
ment and be utterly awkward and in
coherent when he attempts to write
about how he does 1t. One Of the best
on maritime affairs was only
a third rate practical seaman.
The trouble with the school system
is that there are too many children to
each teacher. Real teacing being inn
grading and examinations are re-
sorted to-.
Stingy taxpayers, ignorant school
boards, and narrow pedagogues com-
bine to lay the blame on the child,
branding him as ""du1l' when they
cannot squeeze his genius into their
artificial world.
They may call you stupid, but never
mind! So also they called David Liv-
ingstone, Richard Wagner, Charles
Dickens, and Stefansson, the explorer.

NOT THE TELEPHONES
The American Co. Will Handle the
Telegraph, and Not the Talking
C~ontrivances in Fargo.

There was an error made in the
statement that the American Tele-
graph Co. which expects to open an
office in this city in the room formerly
occupied by the Independent telephone
line, would also have a telephone ex-
change. Such is not the case,
for the company is desirious
of securing a franchise for
its office and business in the city
for the telegraph alone, and will use
the wires and poles Of the Independent
Co, and will have nothing to do with
the telephone. 1t expects to do a.
regular business in the city and will
be ready for business as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made.
