LETTER
AT P0STOFFICE

Fargo, N. D., July 29.-Not little
postoffice concerning the possible des-
curiosity has been aroused at the
tination Of letter received there sew
eral days ago. addressed to
Monsieur L. Fotou,
Harveru Co., Box 1872,
N. Dakota, America
At least that is the address as nearly
as it can be deciphered by the postal
clerks.
The letter bears a stamp, marked in
indelible ink, l piastre. The stamp
is illustrated with head, closely re-
sembling that of George of England,
and across the top is printed, in Eng
lish, internal revenue" In the lower
left hand corner if the letter is re.
turn address, which has so far baf-
fled the ingenuity Of the postofice
employees who have tried to decipher
it. The characters look more like
Greek than anythin else.
Because of the English letters at
the top of the stamp and the Egyptian
spelling of hte word piastre, it is
thought that the letter halls from
Egypt. 1t will be held several days be-
fore being forwarded to the dead let

PRINTING co. AND WALKER
BROS. & HARDY, BOTH OF
FARGO.

Bismarc, N. D., July 27.-The state
printing commission met for the pur-
pose of letting the bids for the state
printing. There was a good represen-
tation of the big printers of the state
present. There was wide variance
in figures, which made it easy in decid-
ing the winners for the first, second
third and fourth classes, but when it
came to the fifth class the figures
were so complicated that it was prac-
tically impossible to decide intelligent
ly who was low bidder.
Mr.. Black of Grand Forks urged the
rejection of bids on the fifth class.
This was opposed by Mr.. Knight.
Contracts Let.
The contracts were let as follows.
First and second classes-Knight
Printing company, Fargo.
Third and fourth classes-Walker
Bros. q Hardy, Fargo.

RAIN AT FORDVjLlE.

Fordville, N. D., July 23.-A well
come rain fell here Tuesday and while
there may be some of the heavy grain
lodged in consequence there will be
no loss to amount to anything. The
reports that hail visited this section
are not true. The rain was heavy all
through the Golden Valley territory
and a light rain fell south of here.
Hail is reported west but inquiry for
at least 100 miles fails to subsantiate
this.
Mekinock, July 23.-Rain, accompan-
led by high wand, visited this sec

Junior Senator Has a Lead
of 1927; Gov. Hanna's
Plurality Is More
Than 1900.

The Times Record is giving here
with, as near as possible, the complete
vote on some of the principal offices
in the primary election. These figures
will vary some when the official can
vass is made in September, but there
will be no material change.
Most of the figures received are Of
fetal, with the exception of four or
five couties, and while the figures in
these instances are not official, yet
they are quite reliable. No figures have
been received from Ward and Steele
counties. These will raise the pre-
sent figures little.
Senator Gronna Is high man, lead
ing by 11,127, while Mr.. Linde, can
didate for attorney general is a close
second with 9,761. Mr.. Linde stated
yesterday that he had carried Ward
county by about 800 and that he had
carried Steele equity by possibly 200.
This being the case he will crowd Mr..
Gronna for first place. Mr.. Flint is
nominated by about 5000 for commits.
sioner for agriculture and labor.
Judge B. F. Spalding of the supreme
court is renominated by majority of
6,150 over Mr.. Christianson. This is
of course, on the non-partisan ballot
The run made by Mr.. Christianson was
somewhat of surprise, as it was his
first attempt.
Congressman Young's majority has
crept up to $3.50. This figure IS prac-
tically complete, though it may vary
Ia little on the official canvass.

chamber today, President c. ]. Ha-
den said:
None except those who live in the
threatened territory can realize the
extent and thoroughness of the cam
paign which the Georgia chamber of
commerce has waged during the past
few l1onths. We have simply sowed
the territory with boil weeyil litera-
ture, matter prepared by the most
rCted experts in the country, includ-
ing those of the national government
and have in addition written thous-
ands of iersonal letters, enlisting the
aid Of practically every school teach
tr, preacher and storekeeper in the
% counties.
1T is safe to say that if the COM
ing of the boil weevil brings any
hardship to single farmer in Geor-
gia this year, it will be his own fault,
fer he has had warning and daily re-
n nders, that he will be hurt unless
ne makes preparation.
Our campaign has been a hard one,
especially in view of the fact that we
were handicapped by the lack of sufl
ciant funds to properly conduct the
fight, but we have made up for this
by hard" work.

The residence of Mrs. Dora Knee
was also broken into, and Mrs. Knee
says that though she has made repeat
ed calls, the police have not yet sent
anybody to investigate the case.

Christmas, and robbed the cash

GRAND JURY ADJOURNS
WITHOUT INDICTING CLUBS

Atlanta, Feb 1.-THE grand jury
adjourned yesterday after very short
routine session after refusing to take
up the proposal to indict the locke.
clubs of Atlanta for violation of the
prohibition law.
These proposed indictments were
urged by the Men and Religion For
ward Movement and the Evangelical
Ministers Association. 1t was report
ed that after a conference with Rev
DR.. DuBose, Solicitor General Hugh
Dorsey drew up the indictment forms
f presentation to the grand jury.
When the grand jury met it asked the
presidents of two or three of the prom
inent clubs, like the Driving club and
the Capital City to appear before the
body, but the grand jury decided at
terward to take no action whatever at
this time on the locker club situation.

have the locker clubs closed vii await

STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
HAS THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED
THE STATE FOR THE FIGHT
AGAINST THE PEST
% COUNTIES ARE ORGANIZED
Although Hampered For Lack Of
Funds, the State Chamber Has

Practically-not wholly. For to be

Some Striking Figures.

The state chamber on Saturday is
sued from its headquarters in At
lanta a condensed statement of what
it has already accomplished in it's
campaign against the boil weevil. The
statement shows that for some months
past the entire threatened territory
some % counties in all-has been
literally flooded with letters and lit
erature, and that practically every
man, woman and child in this sec
ton, warned some time ago of the
coming of the weevil, has since that
date had the seriousness of the threat
impressed upon them day in and day
out.
Here are some of the remarkable
figures included in the statement:
$4,000 pieces of literature sent out.
LOO school tachers sent personal
letters.
200 preachers also personally COM
municated with
1900 small merchants and store
keepers sent Letters, literature ant
posters.
1000 billboards throughout the ter
ritory placarded with six by eight
feet posters. Hundreds of columns Of
literature furnished to the daily and
weekly press of the territory from th2
chambers headquarters, and canvass
ers, with horses and buggies, sent
out among the farmers.
Magnitude OF the Work.
This in a nutshell is what has al
ready been accomplished by the
Georgia chamber of commerce in its
practically single-handed fight against
the invasion of the insect which as
in past years wrought such deyasta-
ton in the states west of Georgia,
and which will spread it's ravages into
iris state the coming summer.
