A City Of
Fargo Homes
Beautiful

Fargo is pre-eminently a city of
homes, and the home-loving spirit in
the hearts of the people is visible in
the neatly kept domiciles to be found
on every street of the city. This neat
ness is not only apparent on the
streets where are to be found the pal
aces Of the we'll to do, but in the more
humble portions of the city. The love
of the home is witnessed by the neatly
trimmed lawns, the beautiful Towering
%shrubbery n correctly trimmed trees.
In all portions of the city in the sum
mer months the beauty of nature is
enhanced by the art of the landscape
gardening of the home owner. The
salaried clerk, the skilled artisan and
the more prosperous business man of
the city all own their w homes.
Each, year sees the number of homes
increasing and the confines Of the city
are steadily pushing out to the north,
south n west.
That the number of homes will ma
terially increase in the next year or
two is assured by the number of peo-
pie who are enquiring for rooms and
from the number of lots that are being
sold by the real estate men of the
city.
Another thing that materially as
sists in the building of new homes in
Fargo is the number of expert con-
tractors who are III business in the
city and who give of their skill and
advice to the man who is erecting a
home. The prominent buildings of the
northwest testify to the skill of Fargo
artisans. as many of them have been
erected and decorated by the men
whose advertisements surround this
article. Even Seattle had to call on
one of the Fargo firms to erect the
thirty-story L. c. Smith concrete
building in that city.
The number of material houses and
lumber yards located in this city
make it an easy matter for the home
builder to secure materials for his
buildings without delay and the
promptness with which they fill all or
ders and the speed with which the
contractors place the material, causing
a home to arise like magic, is a great
inducement for the man. who intends
erecting a home to select Fargo as the
site for the building.
The present season will see the erec-
ton of more homes than for years
past and in all parts Of the city the
tap, tap of the carpenters hammers
can be heard singing the song of prog
ress and prosperity.
Fargo welcomes the man who wants
to build a home and her artisans stand
ready to give of their skill to construct
an edifce that will be a Joy to him SO
long as life shall last. She offers to
the man who desires to retire from ar
duous labor and finish his days In an
u~p-to-date city, all that any other city
can offer, and cordially invites all per-
sons to join in this great colony of
home builders. Come in among us.
erect a home and enjoy the happiness
Of creating something that will give
shelter during your days here on earth.
and will be a monument to your mem

One OF the most famous echoes is TO be
heard in Woodstock Park, OxfordShire.
England, which is said to repeat seventeen
syllables by day and twenty by night Al
though this statement is 10 be found in
various standard textbooks and treatises
on the subject, it has lately been contra
dicted by Mr.. Bacon, before quoted. The
latter remarks, however. that the diminu-
ton OF this classic echo Is probably due TO
the removal Of various buildings in its
neighborhood.
\ most striking interior echo is a feature
OF the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake
City. When this hall is empty and quiet
the ring OF "a pin falling on the floor can be
heard from all points, and even the faint
rasping sound produced by rubbing the
hands together is perfectly audible from one
end OF the building 20 the other.
In the cathedral Of Girgcnti in Sicily. the
slightest whisper is borne with perfect dis
tinctncSs from the region Of the great door
10 location in the upper part Of the
church about two hundred and fifty feet
distant. 1t is said that this circumstance
led 70 the removal of the confessional from
near the entrance as a result Of an accidental
discovery OF the peculiar acoustic effect and
a consequent tragedy in which love, zeal
ousy, and manslaughtcr figured Jointly.
Although acoustics would seem 20 account
satisfactorily for many echoes, there yet
remains much that Is mysterious and BAT
fling concerning them.

WILSON YACHT IN
DANGER FROM SHELL
Explosive Fired from Indian Head
Proving Ground Narrowly Misses
MayAower, President Aboard.

Norfolk, July Part OF twelve-inch
she'll came dangerously near striking the
yacht Mayfiower. with President Wilson
on board. while the vessel was proceed
ing up the Potomac River en- route to
Washington last Thursday. The shell
was fired from the Indian Head Prov
ing Grounds. near Washington, where
scores of big and little guns are tested
each week. The President was sitting
aft with his physician, DR.. Cary Gray
son, when the reverberating report Of the
gun was heard, and almost at the same
time a part of the death-dealing projec
tile passed over the Mayhower and fell In
the water 800 feet away. II made such
a screeching noise before it fell that men
below on the Mayfiower rushed on deck
to ascertain the trouble.
The shell continued on its way, but the
rotating band, a heavy piece of steel
twelve inches in diameter, which caused
the shell to turn as it pierces the air,
flew of at a tangent at a rate of 100
feet a second.
President Wilson declared that the
proving grounds located at Indian Head
were a very dangerous menace to navi-
CATION. The President did not show any
outward signs of fear. but declared that
II would be a good plan to do away with
the testing Of guns in Indian Head. He
f-vored selecting some spot where there
would be no danger to passing ships.

COMPLAINT Is LODGED
AGAINST LOCAL ROAD
President W. F. Jones, Of Chesapeake
Beach Railroad, Says Protest
Is. Everyday Affair.
The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald
Baltimore. Nd, July THE Public
Service Commission today received pro-
test against the passenger service of the
Chesapeake Beach Railroad Company.
Certain patrons of the road complain
that regular passenger trains are side
tracked to give excursion trains the
right of way, and that passenger trains
carry freight cars, which are loaded and
unloaded at way stations by conductors
and brakemen.
President W. F. Jones. of the Chesa-
peake Beach Railroad Company, last
night declared that complaints similar to
the above were filed with the Maryland
Public Service Commission daily. He
stated that the farmers along the line
were continually complaining about the
through trains not stopping at the way
stations and Of the local fares.
He stated that the number Of rural
passengers carried on the road in year
would not pay the operating expenses
OF single train for one day. The farm
ers. he stated, feel that the local rates
between stations should be less than the
through rate from the District line to
Chesapeake Beach.
President Jones declared that IL the
excursion trains were compelled to stop
at way stations, the thousands OF pas
sengers travelling from the city to the
beach would soon rebel, and the road
would be forced into bankruptcy.
1T is a case OF a few wanting to rule
a majority" said Mr.. Jones. mo i'm

plants: they are of a daily occurrence,

Billie Burke's greatest Empire Theater
success, My Wife," a comedy written
by Michael Morton. was presented by
the Columbia Players last night. and
scored decided triumph. The whole
piece was so skillfully handled by the
members Of the company collectively and
in their individual roles that no fault
could be found with it whatever. The
clever manner in which the characters
managed TO get themselves into embar-
RAISING situations and then extract them
selves was so smoothly done. bringing
out all the spontaneous comedy and ridic-
ulous sarcasm with which the play Is
literally infused, that nothing but the
highest praise should be given to every
member of the cast.

has been left a fortune by an old maid

marry another. BY the aunt's will

when Rene returns and states that he
has become infatuated with a girl in
Morocco whom he has married. and thus
Gerald and Trixie are relieved of getting
rid Of this very troublesome obstacle.
The incidents relative to the action of

STORY OF LACTINE
FAMINE GONE ASTRAY
Dairymen Cannot Bear Out Pet
worth's Tale of Scarcity
of Mill

Somewhere within the confines of the
District there is wandering aimlessly
around, crying, no doubt, for some fami-
nine mother. a milk famine. its poor
battered feet bleeding from constant con-
tact with hard asphalt or dusty bypath.
1t is lost. Citizens of Petworth will give
a substantial reward for positive news
of its death or adoption by some other
suburb. II found, they hint a favor
would be conferred if the finder would
cut of a lock of its hair in token that
it has been found. and then, grasping it
firmly around the neck, hold 1t under
water until dead.
Milk-seeking Petwortnians have been
complaining that they cannot obtain milk.
They have been told that there is a
scarcity of milk 1t was alleged by the
Petworth-finish 1t you-self-that on Sun
day. in particular, there was no milk IN
Petworth. This. too, on a day when there
are supposed to be sold no stronger
liquids. They said tina. it was open sea-
son for milk, ana tina. any unfortunate
milk wagon driver who happened to be
plying his craft near Petworth was as
sailed, browbeaten, and otherwise rem
dered unfit properly to remember the
relation of pure spring water to milk.
Dairymen were surprised when told of
the existence of the milk famine. They
did not understand. al first, what was
meant, thanks to telephone.
What do l know about that milk for
you?" they asked. ''Whadd'ye mean;
what do 1 know about that milk for
you? Call up the information bureau"
Milk for me. Ah,-" Famine? Oh,
that's different" Sure. I heard about
one once" Nah! there amt no famine"
There was talk of a debate between
the dairyman and the milk famished.
The dairymen. though, wanted to furnish
pitcher of milk for speakers. The citi-
zens, unwilling to concede a point said
that would be too extravagant, and
