Not Afraid Of
The Webb Law

Fargo, N. D., June 2S-Wlthout a
penalty for it's violation, the distillers
and brewers no longer appear afraid
of the Webb law, which prohibits the
shipment of liquor into prohibition
territory except for personal use. For
some time after the passage of the
bill drafts sent for liquor were re.
turned. This is said to be the case
no longer and firms that month ago
refused shipments to North Dakota
have again resumed.
During the last sixty days the state
has been flooded by agents of con.
Germs offering for sale powders and
tablets from which substitutes for
beer can be quickly and cheaply
made. They have reported an i'm.
mense business as many of the for
mer users of beer are extremely anx.
ious to get some thing that can be
shipped in by parcels post instead of
express. If a satisfactory product can
thus be obtained it will have ten.
dency to relieve the threatened dry
period among the beer drinkers Of
the state. .

The frankness of the managers of
the Wardrobe in advertising their
special sale which is being held at
this time, to say the least, savors of
honesty of Just to Get the Coin" is
the slogan that has kept the store

Of satisfied customers, as we'll as a
satisfactory inflow Of COIN" This is
a regular semiyearly sale and means
that the odds and ends of the stock
is being closed out at low prices so
that nothing may be carried over.
This store has gained in popularity
because of the policy of offering
nothing for sale excepting new and
up to date garments and in order to
maintain this reputation, the store is
making prices calculated to bring

Altman Brothers BIO
Shows will Be At
Agricultural fair

The advance representative Of the
Altman Bros. Big American Shows
which are contracted to exhibit in
Valley City the week Of July 9TH as
the amusement attractions under the
auspices of the Barnes County Agri.
cultural Fair, arrived in the city to-
day, and is very enthusiastic over
the prospects of the organization
which he is representing.
In speaking of the Altman Bros
Shows he said. This season the All.
man Bros. Shows are larger, bigger
and better than ever, and that many
new and novel features will be offer
ed to the Valley City amusement low
ers during their engagement. The
shows and attractions are perfect in
every department., and 1t is well
known fact among the show knowing
people that the Altman Shows for the
past ten years have been considered
one of the most reliable and the most
complete carnival companies trav-
cling this country.
Nothing of a questionable nature
has ever been tolerated. Not an act is
presented or word is spoken that
could be objected to by the most re"
fined person. The usual catch-penny
affairs, games of chance, etc., that
one so often meets with an attraction
of this nature, are conspicuous by
their absence. The contract made
with the Altman Bros. Shows states
specifically that each and every show
and attraction is guaranteed to be
clean, moral and just as represented.
The list of shows offered were care
fully gone over by the committee re-
presenting the Barnes County Agri'
cultural Fair and they did not hesti-
tate in offering them to their friends
who are amusement goers.
Also that the Altman Bros. Shows
were too we'll known to make any
advance promises in regard to the
class and character necessary, that
no expense has been spared to secure
the newest, best and most novel at
fractions possible, and it is not an
exaggeration to state that with favor
able outdoor amusement weather, this
years celebration will be one Of the
most successful ever held in this city.

Patent Stacker

GRANHAM.ROACH DEVICE GIVEN
TRY OUT At BoRDULAC
YESTERDAY.

The patent stacker that promises
to revolutionize harvesting operations
in small grain countries was given a
try out near Bordulac yesterday and
proved all that was expected. E..
A. Roach, who is interested in the
patent with the inventor, David Ora
ham, expressed himself as much
pleased with the trial. The model
used yesterday has been built at Bor-
dulac this spring and will be given
further trials during the summer
Straw is used to try out the machine.
AS we stated in these columns ex-
clusively several months ago, the
stacker consisted Of a frame attach
able to binder. The grain Is cut in
the usual way and elevated into a
form, a man standing in the form to
stack away the grain as it arrives.
When the form is full, the grain is
deposited on the ground, a clever ar
rangement being used that leaves two
or three air holes at the bottom of the
stack and running the length of it.
The stacks are deposited in rows and
fall blowing can start Immediately,
EXCEPT on the small amount of ground
used by the stacks. At threshing
time a bull rake is used, which brings
the stack directly to the nlchine,
saving the expense OF bundle teams,

Many details and impro s7h:snts are
Vet to be worked cat bu' all who are

the idea is str'c.lv y X. and that the

Must Be Kept Sanitary
STATE PURE FOOD COMMISSION
Err ISSUES BULLETIN CON.
TANNING NUMBER OF
WARNINGS

In his latest bulletin, just issued,
Pure Food Commissioner Ladd Of the
A. c., has issued number Of warn
ings, one Of the important features be-
ing an ultimatum to the owners Of
slaughterhouses that these places
must be kept sanitary.
The Times Record publishes mum.
Der of extracts from the bulletin. Be-
sides these the bulletin contains some
valuable information regarding fake
nostrums that are offered for sale in
the state. 1t is one of the most inter-
esting bulletins issued by the pure
food department of the state in some
time.
Concerning slaughterhouses Profess
sor Ladd says:
Probably nowhere In the state will
there be found worse conditions with
regarding to the handling of food prod
ucts than those which are seen at the
majority Of the slaughterhouses. Here
the conditions are far from sanitary;
far from what is proper in the han
ding of animals intended for human
food. Often the place where the ami
NAL is slaughtered is only an old
shack, filthy and dirty, with no con-
veniences and no way of excluding
flies and vermin. Back of this may
be mud hole where tho refuse, intes-
tines and often dead animals are
thrown; and the hogs about to be
slaughtered are permitted to- live upon
the same, thus rendering their flesh
unfit for consumption. Aside from
this, the conditions are at times so
intolerable that it is hardly possible
for a person to live with comfort in
the neighborhood of these unsanitary
and unhealthy places.
There is no necessity for this and
the time has come when the people are
demanding that these places be kept
in shape and that sanitary conditions
be provided. There will never be
satisfaction until we have municipal
slaughterhOuses and all animals killed
under proper inspection. The depart
ment Is determined, however, during
the present year, to carry on cam
paign to do away with the kind Of
slaughterhouses now in general use,
and to see that proper places are pro-

The game with Buffalo last evening
was won by the local team by a very
close margin, the score being to 2, in
fact until the ninth inning the game
was very uncertain. From the start
both teams were in the best of condi-
ton and played close and careful ball.
Unfortunately the attendance was
not large, and the rooters were scarce
but Notwithstanding the handicap the
game was a beauty and those. who
missed it, are to say the least unfor.
tunate, if they have any taste for
good game of baseball.
