Mr.. Weld prefaced his lecture, when

Chicago Packer: The boom in the

go of a few weeks ago has been stead

about normal. Operators were forced
to cut a little on former prices in or

umphs were quoted out this week at
So cents, f. o, b. loading station, and
some operators were selling at 81

at 6S@78c. Cobblers were fairly we'll

Operators declared hat the amount
Of seed potatoes left is very limited.
and hat any squirt in the demand will
probably influence a firmer feeling.

laid to the lack of activity in the mar

Shear Was Convicted.

Senator Marden has returned from
Detroit where he has been assisting
the county attorney in the prosecutor
of a saloon keeper, Fl. 2. smear OF
Ogema who was charged on indlct-
ment for selling liquor to Indians. The
defendant was convicted and Judge
Roeser sentenced the prisoner to serve
a term of six months IN n StaIe
nrison. The government has been
tracking the defendant for a long time,
but owing to the unwillingness of the
Indians to divulge where they buy the
whisky they get and from whom II
has been a difficult job to secure con-
victing evidence. 1t is said that Shear
has been doing a remarkably good
business and reported to have had
plenty of money to pay a fine. but the
court considered the enormlty or the
crime committed and did not give the
defendant a chance to use his allegeo
il-gotten gains to keep himself out Oh
prison which hi feared greatly.

PETERSON TALKS
TO The STUDENTS
REV. E. A. PETERSON OF FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH ADDRESSED
STUDENTS OF FARGO COLLEGE
THIS MORNING ON THE JOY OF
LIVING.

Rev. A. E. Peterson OF the First
Baptist church spoke to the Fargo
college students this morning on Find
ing Joy in Life. He urged the stu
dents to seek those things in life
which make one contented and hap
ply. After speaking Of the importance
of a joyful nature, Rev. Mr.. Peterson
told of the danger of failure in finding
JOY through temperamental traits,
physical condition, sorrowful memories
and over-estimating tine importance of
small things.
Jesus was happy because he found
JOY in his work, and because he had
faith in the truth and the triumph Of
right over wrong.
We have two possibilities con-
fronting us, either failure in enjoying
God-given things, or a joy through
the realization Of the best that God
has given us.
