A new PUBLICATION
Walker Bros. G. Hardy Have Started
Weekly Newspaper Here With an
..--.:. - Unknown Editor. II.

"The Office Mop" is the title Of a
weekly paper being published at the
present time by Walker Bros. &
Hardy. So pithy are its utterances, SO
pungent are it's paragraphs, that there
can be no doubt but what the other
publications of the city and state will
soon be awed into complete silence.
1t styles itself a magazine of fear
Iessness." Carefully winnowed by A
Garden Lemon; unpadded, unstuffed
and unamplif1ed."
1t appears that the editor thinks
best to remain unknown and his OBJ
scurity, no doubt, follows careful
Judgment, after looking over several
sample copies.
Composed of paragraphs to a great
extent, which probably touch keenly
on the tender spots of the office force
and other employees, it often makes
use of a little jewel Of a verse such
as the following:
"a little plain talk now and then,
Though little relished by most men,
Is wholesome
Better make them fighting mad,
Than let them stay forlorn or sad
And dolesome."
The staff of The Forum feels call
ed upon to congratulate the unknown
editor" on his admirable little publica-
ton.

M'LaughIin Binder Co,
May Locate in Fargo
Head Of Concern Here to Confer With the Commercial Club
and Study Situation
Concern Makes Binders Extremely Simple In Design and Of
Great Efficiency

The Mclaughlin Binder Co, an In
diana corporation, may possibly locate
in Fargo and establish factory here,
according to Vora Mclaughlin, who
was in the city today comforting with
members of the commercial club.
The binder manufactured by this
concern is an innovation in harvesting
machinery. 1t is the invention of
Vora Mclaughlin, and was invented
by him to do away with the elevation
that is now necessary on every self
binder. .
Mclaughlin did away with the ele-
vator by putting the master wheel
out in front of his machine instead of
directly under the binding apparatus
In the ordinary binder all grain
must be elevated over the master
wheel. This requires many extra cog
wheels as well as rollers and elevator
canvas. In the Mclaughlin binder
the elevation of grain is done away
with entirely, the master wheel being
in front, the binder supported by three
wheels instead Of two, and the conse-
quent simple construction and design
Of the machine allows it to be pulled
with two light horses instead of three
or four draft horses.
AS Fargo Is the natural distributing
point for farm machinery, the concern
Is very anxious to establish a plant
here. 1t is planned to have many Of
the castings made by eastern concerns.

Big PLANT Is PICTURED
John Morrell G. Co. Make Exhibit of
Their Sioux Falls Plant at
Green's Market.

A water color picture of the Morrell
plant at Sioux Falls is on exhibition
in the window of Green's meat market.
1t shows the entire five story building
and gives a good idea of the size Of
the plant where the famous Dakota
Pride hams and bacon and the other
products of the Morrell company are
prepared for the market. This plant
is one of the newest and most .sani-
tary in the country. The Morrell
company are now receiving all the
hogs they can care for at the plant
and the farmers Of South Dakota reap
the benefit of home product for their
swine. The increase in the hog rails
ing industry of the state is directly
traceable to the fact that the pack
ing plant was established in Sioux
Falls. The business of the firm IS
growing to such an extent in North
Dakota that the time is not far dis
tant when they will be compelled to
erect a plant here, in fact they are
now erecting a con1modious cooling
and shipping plant on the Great
Northern right of way which will be
ready for their occupancy within a
few weeks and when it is completed
Fargo will be one of their important
distributing centers. The people OF
Fargo should take a look at the pic
ture in Green's market and gain an
idea of the magnitude Of the plant.

and then have the machinery assem-
bled here.
Farmers who are using the ma
chimes in the state of Indiana are very
enthusiastic over their many superior
points. The binder can be%turned in a
very small space can cut and bind
corn as well as wheat and it, will even
cut and bind light brush. It also does
away with the necessity of having ex-
ira attachments in the binding of flax!
The horses are attached directly to
the machine, doing away with the
stub truck now in use on every make
of binder and the horses are thus able
to give more power and the machine
does not jerk when going over fur
rows. ..s
Large manufacturing concerns have
endorsed the superior points Of the
machine but have refused to adopt 1t
because it would mean the destroying
of millions of dolalrs' worth Of ma
chinery and castings now on hand
The machine can be made and sold
cheaper than the present style of
binder because it contains a fewer
number Of parts and it does the work
much better, having none of the dis,
advantages of the old style machine.
Officials Of the commercial club are
doing everything in their power to en-.
able Mr. Mclaughlin to establish his
factory here and it is believed that
Indiana capital will enable the new
concern to come to Fargo. .2t4Ls .5'-@g =

TIE SECRET fORNULAE

The Bijou are showing one of the
great films of the year today and to-
night In the Secret Formulae. This
is a two reel feature and was posed
by the best actors in the Pathe forces
Including Wilbur Crane, Octavia Had
worth and Harris Ingraham. The
story is based on the attempt to steal
formulae which made cement inde-
structfble and 1t is very sensational
although not of the blood and thunder
class. One of the big features of the
film is a fox hunt and the racing
horses gaily colored costumes and
fleeing fox and braying dogs. Another
great film is the Edison picture The
Bells. Miss Follansbee the svioIinist
has a grand song and the entire pro-
gramme is one that.4wil1 help to pass

WILLIAM HOLT DROWNED.
Loses Life in Attempt to Save
panion.

William Holt, &c years old, painter
was drowned early Sunday evening in
Otter Creek while attempting to save
companion who had fallen from a boat

o'clock and the body was recovered
about 1000.
Mr.. Holt, in company with Harry

launch in which the party made the
trip, was nearing the boat house near
the Lyman ice houses in this village
Smith attempted to remove flag and
staff from the boat before the craft
entered the boat house and in so doing
fell. into the water. Holt, who was
supposed to be a good swimmer,
plunged over the side of the boat to
assist Smith. Smith, however, came
up near the boat and his companions
managed to reach and draw him into
the boat.
Holt took several strokes when he
suddenly went down and did not come
up. 1t is thought that he was seized
with a cramp. Searching parties un-
der the direction of Chief of Police
Frank Warren began Immediately to
drag the creek and when the body was
brought to the surface the flag staff
was found in one of Holt's hands.
First Selectman Harry l.. Hunt
viewed the body and ordered its re-
moval to the undertaking rooms of
A. j. Backmer. Mr.. Holt was a son
of Mrs. Helen Holt of Washington
