board of aldermen in session. adjourned

in September. and then will be indicted
into office the new city council. Many
of the incoming members will be new
ones. many of the present members max
ing their exit as city fathers last night.
The dissolution of the lower branch of
council was rather harmonious, and the
only thing fretted about was on the la-
journed for the summer at the last
meeting.
Before adjourning. common council
passed two ordinances for the paving Of
two squares on Lee street between King
and Queen streets with vitrified brick
and concrete sidewalks ten feet wide on
either side. 1t is provided that $4,000 be
appropriated for each square.
1t is further provided that the work
will be done when all of the property
owners sign the petition agreeing to pay
$3.50 a front foot. and this must be
signed within thirty days after the ordi-
nance is approved by the mayor, other
wise it will be void.
An ordinance appropriating 5000 for
resurfacing five squares on Queen street
between Columbus and Payne streets
was, on motion Of Councilman Brockett
referred to the finance committee. The
sum of 500 was appropriated for the

wear and what all the little turtles would wear.
You know they began talking about the costumes they would have to

A RIGHT TO o

= Fargo has a right to crow today
The stranger sojourning in our midst
for a short time has had an ample
demonstration Of the reason for call
ing Fargo the biggest little city on
earth. Fargo has yet to tackle a big
civic problem and fall down on the
100.
The latest success was the campaign
to raise $4,000 for the completion Of
the Armory-Auditorium. Coming
right after the campaign to raise
100000 for Fargo college, there were
some who predicted that it was DOOM
ed to failure. But Fargo more than
made good. The sum of $115, 900 was
raised for Fargo college and the sum
of $4,000 was raised to complete the
auditorium. Both funds were over
subscribed.
Altogether 100000 have been raised
Eby popular subscription for the Ar
fmory-Auditorium. This, with the
$4,000 raised for Fargo college,
makes over $500, 900 raised in the city
inside a year. For a city of the size
tof Fargo, this is surely a fine showing.
The Forum believes the most re-
lmarkable feature of these two cam
I,aigns was the spirit of self-sacrifce
and aggressiveness shown by the 200
business men n women of the city,
who neglected their own business and
gave their time and ability for the
common cause. A city that has a citi-
Eenship Of that calibre has a brilliant
future ahead Of it.
Sec. J. P. Hardy, General Dusen-
berry." as he was nicknamed bv his
~co-workers, is deserving Of special
Ecredit for his %unfagging zeal and en-
fhusiasm and for the way he handled
hthe details Of the campaign. AS Pres
ddent Watson Of the commercial club
says in his wore Of thanks. published
elsewhere in this issue, Mr.. HARDY has
won a warm spot in the hearts of the
people of Fargo. The people of Moor
head and DilWorth, who helred nv
contributing both money and time,
also deserve credit for showing q
broad-mlnded spirit of Corporation
The success of this $500 campafqn
1nsures Fargo one Of the finest audi
forums in the United States. It is a
building that would do credit to = civ
OF 100000 population. The entire sum
OF $4,000 will be used in the building
the lot having been provided by the
Go. B boys, who nave the use of the
big ground floor for armory r

An Old Time Horse Race.

This description Of the finish of a
county fair horse-race fifty years ago
Is taken from Judge Shutes recently
published Misadventures of Three
Good Boys, the three good boys, as all
readers of The Real Diary of a Real
Boy will guess, being Plupy, Beany
and Pewt.
The whistling of whips, the yells
of the drivers and the rapid beat of
flying hoofs were heard. Here they
come yelled hundreds of voices, and
the crowd rose to it's feet in excite
merit as the horses burst out of the
woods, Sheepskin a length to the
front, it's driver leaning forward, ply
ing the whip and yelling his war-cry
Of Wake up, thar! Wake w, thar in
a voice life a fog-horn, while at his
wheel was Flying Cloud going like a
Whirlwind and Benson yelling like a
demon, neck and neck with Billy Boy,
gallop had rested him and
whose driver cursed and whipped as
the trotter went off his feet. But what
was this? For still on the outside. two
lengths to the rear and 200 yards from
the finish came a little bay mare with
her neck stretched forward, her trim
ears laid fiat to her head. her name
flying, and her slim legs going like
piston-rods in a wild engine, while on
the sulky, with hair flying and cap
gone, eyes blazing and shrill voice en-
~couTaging the mare in a high squeaky
falsetto, sat Plupy.
The crowd went wild. Shouts,
shrleks, bellows of encouragement,
and hoarse directions were showered
on thed river. Beany and Pewt yelled
like ones possessed, while the groom
leaned over the rail until he held on
by mis- eyelids. e.,
She passed the plunging Billy Boy;
she is up to the Flying Clouds wheel,
to his flank. his saddle, she creeIs up
to his throat-Iatch; she is by him, a,
head, a neck, a half-length; she is
clear, and has Tapped the big gray fiji
ty yards from the wire.
The driVer's whiskers stand out
straight behind him; he sees the little
bay head at his elbow, and down
comes his whip on the gray again and
again. He yelIs and swings his whip,
wildly trying to break up the little
mare; but he might as well try to stop
the fight of time. She reaches his
saddle, Their his shoulders, and then
with a mighty burst of speed passes
him n sweeps across the wire a
length ahead"

EBs-TIDE.

Gone are the olden days
With their olden, golden fancies,
And the light of memory plays
Gone are the painted boats
With the fortune they promised me
And only the wreckage floats
On the tide that is out to sea.
But I have seen the shore
When the joyous tide was on,
When the bright waves danced before
In the light of the morning sun,
And I have enjoyed the play
OF the waves in their b~oist'rous glee,
But the shore is bare today
And the tide is out to sea.
Yet why should I grieve for this,
The wreckage along the strand,
For the boats that have gone amiss
Or the pearls that are lost in the
sand?
They never were mine, I trow,
Although they were promised me,
But this was long ago
And the tide is out to sea.
So I will go out today
Along the shore afar,
And I will make my way
Out Owe the wreck-strewn bar;
One pearl l shall surely find
Awaiting somewhere for me, .s
One gem that was left behind
When the tide ebbed out to sea.

ONLY SQUARE DEAL ASKED,

The city commission is not asking
anything more than a square deal in
its endeavor to move the city limits
northward. The people who are resid-
ing just north of the city limits are
enjoying practically every benefit pro-
vided by the city Of Fargo without
paying their proportIonate share.
Fargo has gone to great expense to
provide the finest filtration plant in
the northwest for the residents of the
city. 1t has spent a lot of money for
paving, for street Lighting and other
civic improvements, practically all Of
which are shared by the people in the
village Of North Fargo and adjacent
property, at but a very small part of
tho expense that must be borne by
the people residing within the city
limits.
These people use Fargo's beautiful
ly lighted and we'll paved streets to
reach their homes, with as much free
dom as the people who paid for them.
They also get the benefits Of the DO
NE anu ire HOIeCtlOn given by the
city and the district has a connection
with the Fargo waterworks system.
Some Of the people who live in this
district are among the w~ealthiest peo-
pie in Cass county, and they have
made their wealth out of the growth
and prosperity Of the city of Fargo.
Why should they enjoy all the privi-
leges of the city without sharing the
cost?

DIRECT MARKETING.

The growing success of Fargo's new
central market, is arousing interest
throughout the country directly tri-
t*nutary to Fargo, in market gardening
F1t will not be long before there will
ne a small truck patch / in connection
with every farm in the vicinity and
the market will also stimulate the
traising Of poultry and other like pro-
ducts.
There is a good suggestion in the
past issue of Northwest Farmstead
EaIong this line. John C. Miller, in a
F1stter to The Farmstead says:
my boy of 13 is developing in
TO an efficient salesman. He has
a motor cycle with a little van at
tachment. We have a good road
< TO town, about three miles distant.
~ taxes him only a few minutes
I TO run into town early each morn
ing with fresh bottled milk and
vegetables freshly gathered. He
sells direct to families who are
gia to pay good prices to have
sucn stun fresh for breakfast,
During the season for straw
berries and raspberries he makes
q delivery Of these fresh fruits
again between S and 6 D. m. so
that the family a have it's fruit
served on its table within an hour
from the time Of picking. Only
the most perfect fruit is sold. and
the strawberries are carefully
picked, SO that each berry sets
in its hulls on its long stem.
Our customers like to have the
berries delivered in thic u,o -.
each berry makes a fair mouthfuI
by itself, n the consumer holds
1t by its stem and rolls it in sugar
before carrying to the mouth.
This is the English way Of eating
strawberries, We wear clean
white gloves when picking fruit, so
that we are able to guarantee
consumers that each berry has
never been touched by human
hand.
"All this care means some ex-
ira work. but we have no difficulty
in getting double the price direct
from consumers that we could get
for ordinary fruit sold in market.
The motor cycle enables nv son
to make his deliveries very Quickly
n he brings back from town
anything we need in the house or
on the farm. / pay him a COM
mission of 5 per cent on all he
sells, S o hat he is making money
h pretty fast, yet u garden and
< dairy net much larger profits
than ever. The boy is ambitious
to get IN automobile and do a
larger business, and the demand is
increasing so rapidly that he may
Z have to do this, though I think
there is a good deal in having lust
a few customers and serving
them with fastidious perfection"
Many a boy living on a farm near
fargo could earn the price of a motor
cycle in one summer by utilizing part
of the farm for a garden patch.

throngs that fiocked to the market
place this morning.
Fargo women have proved that they
will go in person to the market and
buy and the fact that they turn out
in such numbers n that there is
such a big demand, is going to work a
transformation in the farming COM
munity in the immediate vicinity of
Fargo.
There were two articles in particu-
lar for which the demand far exceeded
the supply this morning. These were
spring chickens and fresh eggs. The
spring chickens should be brought to
market dressed, or at least killed. One
man who brought live chickens this
morning found their sale slow, while
dressed chickens were snapped up and
scores were disappointed. The buyers
also fought for the fresh eggs hat
were brought to the market.
Pouletry raising and truck farming
will be popular in the immediate vi
cinity of Fargo from now on and there
is going to be a lot Of profit in cater
to this trade.

From The Forum Book Shelf

Political maxims Of Cong. William
G. Sharp, new American ambassador
to France:
Admissions are b~oOmerangs.
Sarcasm is safer than sanity.
When you get them on the run, head
them for a hill.
Down with the spoils system, down
Onto our pockets).
Folks will forget-it never failed
vet.
Craftsmanship, like any ship, ar
rives by lacking.
Oratory is a thick ambush.
Answer statistics with the broad
principles Of political economy.
The proposals of the minority, sea-
soned with oblivion, make good planks
for our platform.
Useful is the ally who says nothing;
doubly useful if he talks all the time,
still saying nothing.
Keep the business out of the record.

my life was despaired of, but recov-
cred sufficiently to be up and around.
My bowels seemed paralyzed. Was
compelled to use injections once or
twice a day. Could eat no solid
food.

cided to try Peruna- My bowels
began to move at. once, without the

CHEER UP.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Henry Ford
OF Detroit has not been generally con
sidered a practitioner of "mushy anna
bility." He would not be likely to
mistake a real condition for one mere
ly psychological" And this is what
Mr.. Ford says Of business conditions:
Il do not see any depression that
is marked. Such as there is seems
inspired, and l do not think it
amounts to more than 3 per cent
Of the total volume Of business in
the country"
And this is what the Iron Age says
of the situation in it's field, which is
considered a kind Of barometer of con-
ditions in a large field Of industrial
activities:
Indications of Improvement in
the steel trade are notably in
Creasing. The corner seems to
have been turned at last and
manufacturers are now confident
that the remainder of the year
will show a much larger volume
of business than the first half.
According to news received in this
city a couple Of days ago and printed
in the Plain Dealer. the Pennsylvania
railroad has ordered back to work
thousands of shop men laid off a few
months ago, This report from Phila-
delphia is believed fairly to reflect up
ard tending conditions among all the
more important lines.

The fame of Fargo's market promis-

ardent supporter OF the market propo-

spring into such instantaneous popu-
lar favor as was evidenced by the
