A Live Little Business Point
With a Live Set Of Business
Men, j. f,;t:s

1t is not a big town, this place
called Sutton, N, d., but It is a thriv-
ing town and a new n situated on
the new Great Northern line between
Hannaford and New Rockford. The
surrounding. farming district is one
Of the richest in the state, rivaling
even the Red River Valley.
It is true that a e town grows
by publicity, and yet the reality Of
most towns lis: distorted to, paint a
picture in bright colors that will lure
the settler and investor. The boom"
is on and the town is developed be-
yond its natural state. A short time
and empty buildings await the coun-
try''s development.
No false advertising is needed to
display the merits of Sutton. Facts
written in bushels of wheat and bus
mess opportunities prove the thrift Of
the community. Transportation facili-
ties, climatic and toll conditions are
of the best.
The sod huts and the now novels
have long ago given place to modern
buildings and improvements. : BUSH
ness men soon saw the@yast resources
within the district and aimed to make
Sutton the commerciar center of large
territory.
ss\ History"
The Fargo Surrey cut off of the
Great Northern road came through
here in 1912. At this time Coopersiown
was the nearest shipping point. The
town was named after John Sutton,
a farmer 3 IL miles northwest of
the place,ySwho sheltered the survey
ors when the line was first run
The Citizens State Bank of Sutton
was organized July Is, 1912 with a
capital stock of $4,000. H. P. Ham.
mer is the, president and A. J. Mel.
gard the. cashier. The State Bank of
Sutton was organized on Sept. 1913.
Both banks are doing a large business
and need no comptroller's statement
to put them on a sound footing.
Merchandise.
The Sutton Mercantile Co. has now
under construction . nex, annex which
will make the store one of the largest
in the town. This firm handles gen.
eral merchandise and carries a line
which is new and complete. Partners
of the firm are Eric Erickson, Thee.
6. Thompson and Oliver B. Hoff. The
place was opened a year ago, and is
a first class concern doing a good
business. . - .
Hardware and Machinery.
Hardware, machinery, live stock
and real estate are the business
commodities of the Hammer-Thingel
stad Co., a corporation. Charles l..
Anderson is the manager. He came to
this =, town and opened the present
store on July 10, 1913. Mr.. Anderson
has 4 branch office at Binford where
he is also doing a good business. He
handles the Majestic range and a full
line of tools and shelf hardware. The
firm is incorporated for $4,000 and
started innthet town when there was
only a lumber yard here.

purchase price Of the property mort
gagged, defendant interposed the de-
Tense that plaintiff waived the de-
fault in the payment of, the first note
due April /, 1911, and that he is es.

fault. The trial court held adversely
to defendants contention and on q
trial de novo in this court it is held
that such defense is without merit,

erly alleged or proved.
2. The mortgage contains the usual
stipulation that if default be made in
the payment Of any snum or the in
terest when due,7 it shall be lawful
for the mortgage to foreclose. Also
a further stipulation that in case OF
default in the payment of interest OF
any installment Of principal, the
MORTGAGE may declare the whole sum
due. Sometime after default had .oc
Cured in the payment Of the interest
and principal due on April l, 1911
defendant mailed to plaintiff a draft
for the overdue interest but paid nc
part of the principal then due.
Held, that the acceptance of the
draft for interest did not operate as
a waiver of plaintiffs right to fore
close. the mortgage for the amount
of the principal. -
3. The COMMENCEMENT of the fore
closure proceedings for the collec'
ton of the full amount secured by
the mortgage, was a sufficient exer

WHAT IS A KISS?

Judges are learned chaps on the
whole, but the judges who grace the
Imperial supreme court Of Leipsic
essayed a hopeless task wheA! they at
tempted recently to define a.kfss. Az
ter celebrating seriously over the
question, and taking evidence, they
came to the astounding conclusion
that "a kiss is an operation performed
upon another's body, requiring in all
circumstances the recipients sane
sicA." This obviously leaves something
to be desired, though there is one
supreme advantage in the finding of
the Leipsic court. When an ardent
lover surreptitiously purloins q kiss
from the object Of his affections, and
the lady enters. a more or less pro.
he can retort by saying that since
9Th operation" did not have "the
recipients sanction" it was no kiss.
