a Good SUGGESTION.

When you go on your summer trip
have four or five pieces Of mat or
straw board cut the size Of the inside

tape. You can pack or unpack and
nothing need be disturbed until 1t ia

MARRIED BUT DIDN'T KNOW II

rejoicing over her marriage
but bitterly disappointed because
she didn't know the ceremony was
being performed, Miss Pearl Flem
ing Of Bowman, North Dakota,
found herself the wife of John
Anderson. They came together to
the office of the marriage license
clerk for a license, and being in
formed that it was necessary to
secure physicians certificate OF
good health, they were sent to be
examined. On their return they
were SO excited that they gave the
license clerk the idea that they
wanted the ceremony performed
right away. He did 50, and later
learned that the marriage had
been arranged for the next day,
and that big wedding had been
planned. The couple thought
they were going through a for
mula required in securing a Ii
cense when, before they realized
it, they were declared husband
and wife.

LICENSED TO MED

The new marriage law seems
to be working out to the salts
faction of all concerned, although
the cause of a little inconven-
ience to the parties contemplate
ing marriage, yet as the full pur-
port and intent of the measure
is comprehended it is conceded
that the Law will result in benefit
to the general community. The
following have been licensed to
wed by Judge Van Arnam during
the past week: William R. Sprin-
ger and Miss Ashley E. Hagen,
both of Wyndmere; Albert Rock
stad and Miss Margaret Sateren,

oPPlE's roooERY TO HAVE
STEAM HEATING PLANT

Work has begun and will be
completed before; cold weather
sets in on a steam heating plant
in Oppie's Toggery. The plant
will heat the store room as we'll
as the dry cleaning department.
This will give the store a better
opportunity to turn out a higher
class of work during the winter
months as it is very necessary
that the dry cleaning department
be kept at an even temperature
as some of the machines will do
better work when warm. With
the new machinery which was re-
Gently added to this department
and other improvements which
will be added from time to time
this store will have one of the
best equipped of its kind in the
entire northwest. Oppie has
made some cuts in prices as will
be found by reading his ad else

TEACHERS sALARlEs
IN NORTH DAKOTA

The average annual salary paid
to public school teachers in the
United States as a whole is $485.
In one state the average is only
5000 per year. The wages re-
ceived by teachers constitute a
measure of two things: First,
the quality or ability of the teach
er; second, the value the communi
ty puts upon the teachers servi-
ces. The fact that teachers wa
ges are lower than those paid for
almost any sort of other service
means that as nation we are
neither asking for or getting a
high grade of service and as q
nation we place a. low valuation
on the teachers work. Statistics
on file at the Office of the North
Dakota Development League Pre-
Bureau at Grand Forks show thai
I'VE stand .thrity-second in the mai
ter of the states 1887 men and
women who receive a total of $2,-
501,iO2 annually. This is an av-
erage OF only $4,000 per teacher
per year. This state gets more
value than that from it's teachers
and it should pay them more.

RICRLAND COUNTY
LAND AT 500 PER
Looks Goods to Some Mlnnesots
Purchasers-Much Land to
be Sold This Fall.

On Wednesday of last week
Mr.. John Altross of Adrion, Minn.,
closed a deal for the purchase
of the northeast quarter of Sec
ton 12, township 132, range SO,
of Michael j. Hafner, at consid-
Grafton of 10000 per acre. Mr..
Altross expressed himself as well
satisfied with his purchase, and
says he has several relatives who
want to come up here during the
fall harvest and buy farms around
Mooreton and Great Bend and that
this land at $4,000 per acre looks
good to them.'
This is only one of many sales
of Richland county land at fancy
prices in the last month. Several
quarters and half sections of our
rich soil has changed hands in
that time at prices ranging from
SIS to 500 per acre, and with the
excellent crops that we are bound
to have this fall there will be a
big influx of families into this
territory.
Several large tracts of land also
have been sold to corporations
who will cut it up into smaller
tracts and sell to individuals, and
from present indications Richland
county will have one of the big
gest land booms this fall and in
the spring in it's entire history.

NORTH DAKOTA TURNING
TO DIVERSIFIED FARMING

The North Dakota grain farm
of vast acreage, famed in the
pioneer days of the Red River VAL
ley, is passing, and the adoption
of the. new idea in farming is fit
tingly illustrated by a chanbe
just brought about at the Crystal
Springs farm near Grand Forks.
From $500 acre grain farm,
this place has just been trans
formed into a stock farm and
1 800 acres will be used in raising
feed for the stock. No grain will
sbe sold on the market. In years
gone by this farm has been one
OF the greatest grain farms in the
state, but advanced thoughts as
effecting the agricultural indus
try have brought about changes
that inticipate profits from a new
direction. The farm, deriving
its name from the innumerable
springs with which it abounds
was established a great many
years ago and is one of the show
places of the state.

ADVANCED MARRIAGE
LAW BALKS CUPID

The effectiveness with which
North Dakota's new marriage
law, which makes a physicians
certificate necessary before a Ii
cense can be issued, works against
the intermarriage of diseased per
sons, drunkards, ETC., is illustra-
ted by the fact that since July
1st the applications of fourteen
couples have been disallowed by
the state marriage officials. In
five cases one or the other Of the
parties were found to evidence
traces of insanity, two Of them be
ing under parole from state asy-
lums; in other cases various
causes are assigned'fOr refusal,
three being on the basis of tuber-
culosis. In only one instance has
the rejected couple gone to an adj
joining state to be married.

NOTICE TO the PUDLlo

On and after August 4, 1913,
our charge for haircuts will be
35c instead of 25c. The price of
haircuts has been lower in Wah-
peton and Breckenridge for q mum
ber of years than in all other near
by towns, and we believe the pub
lie will agree with us that the
high cost of living and necessary
higher wages for tradesmen make
a higher price necessary.
We appreciate the business
the people of Wahpeton and
Breckenridge and surrounding
country are giving us, and we be
lieve the advance will be received
in the proper spirit.

which has been pending for some
time was closed whereby the
agency for the Singer sewing ma
chimes was transferred from b.
G.. Ness to j. R. Molloy and the

look after that business for the

Mr.. Molloy is hustler from every

better man for the agency. We
understand that Mr.. Ness has ac-
cepted a similar position at Far
go and will go there in the near
future to take up his work.

Miss Elizabeth Taylor of Fair

Richland County Fair, recently
suggested that a babies contest
be made q feature of this years
fair. The secretary investigated
the proposition and found that in
order to hold q contest according
to the rules prescribed by the
promoters of such affairs It would
be necessary to have four rooms
trained nurses and physicians in
addition to a half dozen commit
tees of five persons each, to say
nothing OF the immense amount
of routine involved in the UNDER
taking. Therefor, the idea Of
q contest has been abandoned.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS
ARE PLENTIFUL
Local Nlmrods are Promised Some
Good Shooting This FalIE
season Opens Sept. =.

Prairie chickens are unusually
plentiful in Richland county this
year and in the state in general.
Owing to the large amount Of
grain left standing in the shock
over winter the old birds winter
ed unusually we'll and have rails
ed large families. From all parts
of the county come cheering re-
ports regarding the size and the
number Of covies. The young
birds are said to be nearly full
grown. The season has been very
favorable as there has been very
little hail in this locality and in
the absence of such storms as
would hurt the crop between now
and Sept. Z, when the season will
open, there will be some thrilling
sport and some wonderful feasts
of fried prairie chicken to reward
the sportsmen.
The season has also been very
favorable for young ducks, as the
slOughs were we'll filled with wat
er last spring and farmers report
that most every one of the sloughs
has an abundance of mallards and
iteal. These birds will not be
bothered however till late in the
season as they are considered too
tame for the real sportsman un-
til after the chicken season is
we'll along.
The game wardens of the state,
and of this district particularly,
are after the "sooners" strong
and any man caught in the fields
with a gun before 1.-THE season
opens will have many questions
to answer and will get the full
extent of the law. Wahpeton has
some good sports and these will
join with the wardens in stopping
all illegal shooting.
There has been some dispute
as to when it will be lawful for
training dogs. The law reads very
plainly that dogs may be trained
in the fields after August 18th,
but NO gun shall be carried by
the trainer.

to spare a piece Of ground about nine
feet square. and this 10 all that Il nee

The situation 10 matter Of some
Importance. In general way odd
corners are to be avoided. and the
more open the position the better.
A very good formation for the pool
would be that Of a rough circle. Six
feet is suitable measurement for the
diameter Of the pond, which should be
dug out in the form Of a rough basin.
The greatest depth must be in the cen
ter Of the pool, and the sides should
sink fairly abruptly. In pool Of this
size Il IL desirable to have a. much
deep water as possible. % that there
VIII be good accommodation for water
lilies. The deepest part Of the pool
should not be less than two fest ok
inches and might be q little more.

but the Commercial and Booster
clubs, as we'll as many indiviu-

The first day of the fair has
been designated as Homecomers'
Day in honor of the anticipated
crowd OF one-time residents. Ap-
propriate souvenirs of the occas-
ion will be distributed on that
day by the fair association to all
visiting former residents.
The last Home Coming celebra-
tion was held during the 1910 fair
1t was an unqualified success. The
visitors gathered from coast tc
coast to talk over old times. Mos
of them had not been in Wahpe-
ton since they left. Many Of then
had been gone for a quarter Of 8
century or longer. All Of then
who had been gone any length Of
time were astonished at the rapid
strides made in the communit5
in agricultural and business de.
velopment and in civic improve
ments. Imagine what their sur
prise will be when they return
this year and view the magnifi-
cent 100000 court house, the
Way of Light, and the many new
business blocks and residences
which have been built in the past
few years, and which are now
in course of construction.
