Party.

Between 10 o'clock last night and
seven o'clock this morning a thief
or thieves broke into the Geo. r, IA
ker and Co. Jewelry, store at 116 srd
street and stole jewelry valued at
$500. Indications show that only
one entered the store as only one foot
mark could be found. Entrance was
gained by breaking the rear window
OF the store which is located in the
manufacturing department. The acid
jars which are placed in front of the
window were not disturbed and from
the manner in which the thief car
rled out the robbery the local au-
thorities believe that the man was a
professional. .
The safes were not touched, but
as large shipment of jewelry reach
ed the Baker store yesterday which
had not been checked over and which
was overlooked last night when the
goods were stored in the safe, the
thief made good haul. Among the
jewelry articles missed were five
bracelets, one tray of gold watch
chains, one tray of charms and lock-
cts, several brooches and small pieces
of silyerware. Five stop watches
were taken from Mr. Bakers private
desk and one swiss watch belonging
to Edgar Titus was taken from Mr..
Titus's work bench. -. .-;-- 81
Chief of Police George Lane and
Deputy Sheriff George Denly worked
on the case this morning and notified
the surrounding towns and cities to
be on the watch for the man. s.,
Mr.. Baker believes That the rob-
berry was committed by an amateur
or young man of the city as diam
ond breach and several Elk teeth
valued at many times the amount
taken, were left untouched. The
measurement of the foot prints found
beneath the window and on cush-
toned chair was a fraction of an inch
less than ten inches. The thief was
undoubtedly man of small stature
as only small hole was broken in
the window which is several feet
above the ground.
Considerable gold had been left in
molds in the manufacturing depart
ment where rings, pins and other
solid gold articles were being manu-
featured yesterday. 80 +a. r.
A reward of 500 has been offered
by the jewelers. Security Alliance of
which Mr.. Baker is member, for in
formation leading to the arrest and
conviction of the guilty party. De-
tectives hired by this Alliance will
probably arrive in the city today or
tomorrow and help the local authori-
ties in tracing the thief.

BLOW sHAvINGS IN LAKE

A big fan has been placed at the
base of the big shaving pile at the
Crookston Lumber compan plant and
will be used for the purpose of blow

NEW WAY TO GET THIN.
Rope or Wire Walking Said to d

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
At a time when womankind Is deeply

Of weight reduction any new device that
promises results will be eagerly well
coined.
The trouble with the present effort
toward reduction is that they tend to

which necessitate rolling over, with a
curtain rod for a balance pole. arise
from the ordeal with the appetite Of a
horse. 1t can't be helped.
A Chicago doctor said the other day
that the only certain way to get thin
Is to abstain from food. II you per-
sist long enough. you'll get thereon

But now comes a young woman with
perfect physical lines who says rope or

Of q a0o-pound matron cautiously foot

seem merely entertaining. but think of
the results, 1t also is true that occa-
sionally the matron is pretty certain to
topple from her wire and bring all the
kitchen plastering down on the head of

GOOD ROADS BOOST
FARM LAND VALUES
Department Of Agriculture Cites Cases
Of Rapid Rise in Property,
Due to improvements.

The direct eject that changing bac
roads into good roads has upon land
value and the general economic welfare
of a community is shown in several con.
crete illustrations gathered by the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The department has Just issued a state
ment on the subject. based upon a mass
Of information gathered by the ONCE OF
Public Roads, which Is making a special
study of the economic effect of road inn
provement in the country. According Il
data gathered, where good roads replace
bad ones. the values of farm lands bor-
dering on the roads increase to such an
extent that the cost OF road improvement
is equalized. IL not exceeded. The general
land values as well as farm values. show
marked advances, following the improve
ment of roads.
In Lee County, Virginia. a farmer owned
100 acres between Ben Hur and Jones'
willie. where he offered to sell for 81. 500.
In 1905 this road was improved. The
farmer refused 5000 for his farm.
In Jackson County. Alabama. the
people voted a bond issue Of $4,000 for
road improvement and improved "A per
cent of the roads. The census of 1900
gives the value of all farm lands in
jackson County at $3.50 per acre. The
selling value at that time was from IS to
SIS per acre. The census Of 1910 places
the value of all farm lands in jackson
County at 1913 per acre. and the selling
price is now from SIS to IS per acre. Ac-
tual figuring of increased value following
road improvement are shown.
As the roads in no way effect soil fer
tility or quality of the farm. advances
are due essentially to the decrease in
the cost of hauling produce to market or
shipping point.
immigration is particularly marked
where road conditions are favorable: in
fact. the figures of the department seem
to indicate that good roads indirectly in
crease the demand for rural property.
and the price of farm land, like that of
any commodity, is ruled by the relations
between demand and supply.
