DLOI ~ And His
Bedtime Story.

%Y&HE smiling faces Of Jack and Evelyn were presented TO daddy
"WeI, sWeethearts, here we are again" said he; bedtime at hand,
two little folks waiting for me to begin a story and poor daddy with
out an idea In his head.
II wish + were q s carefree as Mr.. Swallow seems to be out there as I saw
him flying home to the wife and little ones that he has over there III the barn.
i wonder If Mr. Swallow has to tell bedtime stories to his little fedgingsg ~
What do You suppose he would tell them2' the children asked.
1WeL, let me see. daddy said. q should fancy Mr. swallow might spina
yarn something like This: @
my little doWny darlngs, be very careful to- cudde close together I'M your
nice nest up here among the beams OF this quiet barn. A
"Old. Dobbin and Mrs. Bossy ire our kind friends. They like to have us
about because we catch and kill the hond fst that annoy them.
"sheppie, the big shaggy dog who sometimes comes in here to sleep, would
not harm us, but beware of the ogre cat that eats little birds alive.
"'Puss is out In the barn d great deal of her time because she car get So
many rats and mice here. IL do not mind her killing the rats, for rats eat birds,
eggs and are very disagreeable creatures; but though she seems to be so gentle.
to let them alone will catch birds as well as rats and mice.
fall over and the cat get you She cannot climb up here. SO you are quite safe
as long as you stay at home N
Mrs. swallow says very mildly: Perhaps If the children who live in the
house knew about our babies they would watch the cat until we IAN teach our
little ones to fly. They come out here sometimes to play, and I've found them
to be very nice children They feed the birds on the lawn every day, and Mrs.
Purple Martin told me that the dear little bungalow on top Of the pole in the
yard where she and her family are living this year was put up by the children
You may be, right my dear Mr. Swallow answers mildly. I have not
been home Sc much as you and have had no chance to get acquainted with the
children, but how are we to let them know that we would like them to watch
the catp 42f" @s
Don't you see the chldrenhs daddy down there feeding the horseT Mrs.
Swallow answers. Perhaps if we ask him to tell them be will do so.
"A splendid idea, Mr.. Swallow exclaims. Then both of them tuck their
heads under their wings and go to sleep. Wasn't it, a good thing daddy was
right there and understood swallow talkT" S

LITTLE ADA BOY
Was CREMATED
WAS PLAYING AROUND A BON
FIRE AND CLOTHES CAUGHT
ON FIRE.

Ada, Mimi, June 1.-THE S~-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Olson of
Mary township. near Ada. was burned
so badly that death resulted within a
few hours. Medical attention proved
to be of no avail, although all to save
him that could be done was> attended
to.
A number of little children, between
the ages of 6 and 10 years, were play
ing around a bonfire in the yard. After
a while the children became tired of
just watching theS blaze and began
throwing the tirebTands around and
another little boy threw one at the Oh
son boy, who fell down, and his cloth
ing caught afre. The parents of the
boy were not at home and no assist
ance was given the child except by
little ~10-year-old girl that had been
watching the play. She did all that
was in her power to put the fire in
the boys clothes out running for a pail
of water and pouring 1T on the unfor5
tunate boy, but the fire was not put
out and the youth was SO badly burn-
ed that he lived only a short time.
The affair was purely accidental and
no blame is put on the other little fell
low who threw the firebrand, though
he is heartbroken over the Tragedy.
After the parents arrived home they
sent for a doctor, but very little could
be done for the child, though his suf-
fering was somewhat relieved.

THURSDAY, JUNE IL, 1918.
THE WATER RATE INCREASE.

The increase in water rates by Com
missioner Blakenore, who is in charge
of that department has caused con
siderable adverse criticism as was 70
be expected. But water users should
remember that those who dance must
pay the fiddler. Fargo has the finest
water in the northwest, by actual
test. This water is obtained in it's
present purity by an expensive pro-
cess and, naturally, those who use the
water should pay what 1t costs.
There is a criticism Of the present
system Of figuring rates however, that
The Forum believes is justinable. At
the present time there Is no hydrant
tax. It is said that one OF the COM
rnissioners has figured out that the
amount of water used through the
hydrants costs approximately $15.-
900 annually.
1t would seem only fair that this
hydrant cost, be taxed against the city
as a whole. Under the present system,
the mar who uses water is paying
for the fire protection for the nom
resident property owner and for the
resident owner who does not use the
city water. This is palpably unfair
and should be remedied.
Commissioner Blakemore has pass
cd some rules and regulations which
will also help greatly in getting tho
payments for water on a more eQuit-
able basis. The large water users
such as laundrieE, livery barns etc.
must put in meters as soon as they
can be installed. This will undoubt-
edly do away with much waste and
bring fairer returns to the water
works plant.
1t is the belief OF those who have
studied that matter, that many house,
helders would ave money by INSTALL
ing meters, without euFta!llng their
use of water in the least. There are
probably hundreds Of families where
very little water Ia uaed, who would
pay the city aauah loss IL they were
measuring their water than under tho
fat rates, Some have already in
stalled meters voluntarily and others
are planning on doing 80.

NET RESULTS,

Was the Japanese war scare, i

signed for the purpose Of inducing the
American people to do a little bene-
lcial etreading up on the Japs ana
their nation? 1t does not seem ia
have had m other effect, says The
st. Louis Times, It has vanished COM
pieteiy, with no one to bid it farewell
or to mark the time Of its passing.
Oddly enough, everybody seems to
be satisfied: California, because IT has
has passed the kind Of law it wanted
or that its politicians wanted:
Japan, because 1T made it's profess IN
the most farvid and vehement fashion;
Washington, because it witnessed the
spectacle Of Secretary Bryan going
from sea to 81 "a. al a sort OF prelimin-
airy in his later peace propaganda.
~ Is quite evident, however, that the
scare which has so suddenly and
strangely passed was not without its
uses. Thoughtful people throughout
the United States were Induced. BY the
intinaidating headlines iii the newsspa-
psrs, to- turn their attention to the
people Of Japan. Now they know a
great deal more than they did about
the chief traits OF the laps, about their

their ardent admiration for the Amer

Take Plenty Of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that rapid eating
Is slow suicide" If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you are
most likely suffering from indigestion
or constipation, which will result
eventually in serious illness unless cor
rected. Digestion begins in the mouth.
Food should be thoroughly masticated
and insalivated. Then when you have
a fullness Of the stomach or feel dull
and stupid after eating, take one of
Chamberlain's Tablets. Many severe
cases of stomach trouble and consti-
patton have been cured by the use Of
these tablets. They are easy to take
and most agreeable in effect, Sold by
