"wAv ELYN got weighed today" Jack told daddy as they came up to SO

"rhat reminds me of a funny story that I read about Mr. Pig"
said daddy. This Mr. Pig was perhaps the father of the five little
pigs that were going to market He was driving along In his. ht cart 9 his
way to the PMkersviue market to sell some turnips he was in high good
humor, and a he drove along he hummed a little song. Mr.. Pig hoped to get
a good price for his turnips
"Ata turn of the road he came to a weighing machine Mr.. Pig had never

be, and he looked around to see II any one was looking to catch him tit he
had great big pockets, and he filed every one with turmps
"Then Mr. Pig looked around again. There wasn't a soul In sight He
grabbed a bag of turnips and threw 1t over his shoulder.
"Then Mr. Pig skipped on the scale and watched the hand on the face OF
the weighing machine swing round to the point to his weight
But that scale didn't weigh any more than 500 pounds. and Mr. Pig had
so many turnips in his pockets and in the bag that he was heavier than that
And, Of course, then the card wouldn't come out of the machine.
"TWhy' Mr. Pig cried, this old machine cheats! I've put my penny in
that SLOT and / don't get any card at all I hate cheatsP
"Now, the little old lady pig who tended the scale came out OF her cottage.

{ TREATMENT.

Much difficulty has been experience
ed by DR.. Friedman, the German
physician, to get a chance to demon
strate his alleged cure for tuberculosis
in New York City. Some days 1t look
ed as IL legal red tape was going to
prevent any treatment being given.
At last the board of health has grudg-
ingly permitted him to treat patients,
provided some hospital will denomin-
ate him as one of it's resident physt-
clans.
From the treatment he has received
it would seem as II DR.. Friedman has
been placed on the same plane with
the charlatan with some fake remedy,
for the i'll, Of the human race, instead
of being a physician of standing who
claims to have been successfully using
a serum directed at the great scourge
of modern times. tuberculosis.
Here was a reputable physician
claiming to be bringing a cure which
would save the lives of hundreds Of
thousands yearly. Only al OPP
p%ortunity for demonstration was asked,
with no charge for the treatment.
With men and women possibly dying
from the lack of the free treatment,
and while hundreds besieged the
building where it was first announced
that it would be given, the medical
society gave notice that as the visitor
had no license to practice medicine
in New York, he would not be allowed
to make the attempt to save the lives
of consumptives, to whom the efforts
of the medical society to prevent them
from riskinE the serum must have ap-
peared as a hollow mockery.
If there is a time for red tape to be
cut it is in the case of a distinguished
physician who claims to offer a free
cure for the disease which takes the
heaviest toll OF mankind. Should the
discovery OF DIR. Friedman prove Ia
be in the same class with hat Of Jen-
ner, the physicians who threw stumb.
ling blocks in his way will come in
for deserved condemnation from tho
public. Even if it does not bear Out
the claims of DR.. Friedman. it Is
worth trying regardless of the opposi.
tion Of the members of his own pro-
fession.

p THE GAMER.

The decision of DIR. J. M. Walters of
the First Methodist church to remain
in Fargo is a matter for c~ongratula-
ton to the people not alone of his
church, but also Of Fargo and North
Dakota. DR.. Walters is a man of a
callbre that neither the city nor state
can afford to lose.
Not only Is he a popular preacher,
he is a man of sterling character and
of intense convictions. He has a
broad grasp of the affairs of the city,
state and nation and is absolutely
fearless in presenting his convictions.
Above all else he Is a fighter for ev-
erything which goes to make for bet
ter citizenship and his departure
would have been a loss to the forces
that are working for a cleaner man
hood in North Dakota.

How to Shell Seed Corn.
Many farmers who plant twenty or
forty acres Of corn, carefully shell
their seed by hand and are profted by
so doing. A few remarkably success

dreds of bushels by hand. Where
much seed is required there is a strong
temptation to- run it through the corn
shelter. Hand Smelling is profitable
for the small farmer and therefore
more profitable for the extensive farm

OF the kernels and there is not the OPP
portunity of examining kernels from
different portions of each ear as in
Smelling by hand. After being nubbed
the proper way to shell seed ears is to
shell by hand. n ear at a time, into
a sieve that will let the chaff fall
through and leave the kernels from

If unsatisfactory, all the kernels can
be easily discarded and another ear
shelled. The ears should not be she'll

Does Planter Drop Satisfactorily?
If the corn planter gave trouble last

to use. Even though the planter

SPEEDING THROUGH THE AIR.

Making a trip through the air from
Paris to London in a little over three
hours, and at a speed of ninety-four
miles an hour when flying was an
achievement last week which is note
worthy even in the wonders of aviation
Of the past few years. A Frenchman
named Brindejonc made the trip of
2S7 miles in a r~1onopIane in record
breaking time and between two Eu-
ropean capitals. A year or more ago
1t seemed that a speed of a mile a
minute would be about the limit for
air navigation, but the Frenchman at
tanned a speed Of a mile and a half a
minute.
When it comes to speed the mono

now the contest Is for an effective fly

construction are also to be weighed.
Measured by these requisites, the

the dirigible balloon.
Germany's agreement as to the
building of ten battIeships to En-
