FORD MOTOR CO..
MAKES PURCHASE
FORD MOTOR CO.. ACQUIRED
PROPERTY UNDER coNsIDERA.
TON ON NORTH BROADWAY
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND
ToDAY-DETAlLS LATER.

The Ford Motor Co., made the pur-
chase of the property under considera-
ton on North Broadway just north
of the Great Northern station park
way beyond the Great Northern tracks
late yesterday afternoon and today.
One Of the properties was closed
yesterday afternoon and the deal for
the purchase of the other was culmin-
ated this morning so that the proposed
establishment Of a Ford retail service
branch in this city now seems GER
tain.
These properties were purchased
Stanley, n the deal was made
through the agency of the Hodgson
Realty Co.
AS stated yesterday by Manager
Enders of the Ford Motor Co., the
plans of the new building to be erected
in Fargo are not yet known, except
that for the present it will be a service
plant n not an assembling plant, due
to the delay of decision of the freight
rates by the interstate commerce COM
mission.
These properties will give the Ford
Motor Co.. 150x200 feet of ground.
Soil tests have already been made and
sent to Detroit for analysis by. the
general engineers Of the company
there. Details of the building are now
being awaited by Manager Enders.
The acquisition of these two
properties on North Broadway Is the
elimination of plans the Ford Motor
Co.. has had in mind for more han a
year. Fargo real estate men have been
negotiating with the concern since last
August and at several different times
the deal was thought to nave gone
through, when the plans were delayed
for various reasons in Detroit. Twice
it has been considered expedient to
erect the plant in Moorhead until
definite decision was finally made.
The subject of a Ford building for
Fargo has been discussed in building
and architectural circles the whole of
last winter so that the news of the
purchase of properly by the company
does not come as any particular sur
prise 10 Fargo business men.
The general vicinity of the present
location secured was discussed as the
original site for the new plant last
year and the purchase yesterday is
largely the same though differing
slightly in details to the original
description.
Since Mr.. Enders assumed the man
agement Of the Fargo branch he bent
his energies toward his end and has
FASTENED it through SO that the new
Ford building will become a reality
during his administration of the com
pany's business in this territory. He
is to be congratulated upon his
achievement and the business interests
of Fargo are pleased to know that
such a building is to be erected here.

PERCH ARTISTS A
new SENSATION
PERFORMERS ON SLENDER PER-
T. PENDICULAR POLES ARE THE
WORLDS CHAMPION CLIMBERS
ITO BE SEEN HERE ON RING
LING DAY,

It is a common fallacy that the most
daring and expert climbers and aerial
worker today are sailors, and the jolly
tars have always been more or less
proud of their achievement in this line
Of endeavor. Recently, however, some
base ~landlubbers have managed to
wedge themselves into a position be-
fore the public y and rob the man
who sails the raging main Of his
laurels. These latter belong to a new
class of aerial gymnasts, known as
perch performers. They have created
a tremendous sensation in the hippo
dromes of Europe during the past win
ter, due to the thrilling and amazing
feats performed at such dizzy heights
and upon such slender and trembling
supports that it seems almost impos-
sible for the performers to escape
without fatal accidents.
A number of these daring perch per-
formers are to be seen in this city
for the first time when Ringing
Brothers circus comes here Wednes-
day, July 20. The perch act number
Is one of the costliest features of the
Ringing Brothers program this sea-
son, and includes such famous enter
tainers as the Mirano Brothers, Andre
sen Brothers, the three Jahns and the
Grau and Rodriguez Brothers.
These performers, all of whom are
foreigners making their initial bow to
American audiences, perform their
difficult feats from the tips of slender
perpendicular poles of great length
and supported solely by the strength
of one man, who stands on the ground
holding the pole upright from a socket
attached to his waist.
The perch acts are only n of the
many aerial novelties to be seen at the
Ringing circus this year. The big
features of the program Is h massive
new, spectacle, Solomon and the Queen
| Of Sheba, with It's cast of 1880 charac-
tiers and grand ballet of 800 girls. This
spectacle is produced for the first time
this season at a cost of $1,000, 900, and
Lis said to be the most lavish display
OF its kind ever presented in Ameri-
! ca.

Will Give Free
Admission to Canal
Exhibit at the Fair

the entrance Of the Panama Canal
Model exhibit tent between the hours
of 2 and 8 o'clock Monday afternoon
and it will be good for one admission
to that show.
Only children from IL to IS years of
age, inclusive, will be admitted on The
Forum coupons. There is a reason for
this. Children less than II years old
would not understand the model. For
those who are admitted it will fit in
admirably with their geography and
history.
The Panama canal has changed the
geography of the world. Shipping has
been revolutionized by it's construction.

President Emery of the city com
mission and Commissioner Stern con-
ferred with members Of the county
board this morning concerning he in
crease in the assessed valuation OF
Fargo city real estate. @
Members of the county board, act
ing as a board of equalization, believ-
ed that the 10 per cent increase in the
assessed valuation of Fargo realty,
ordered by the city commission, was
discriminatory, and that it was in I'M
fair proportion to the manne in which
county realty is assessed.
The commissioners, however, could
not see their way clear to make OIL
recommend any change at this time
the matter having passed out of their
hands when they adjourned as a board
of equalization, and it is probable the
assessment will be permitted to stand
as it Is. 1885,. So $685. ~......

AB1TA SPRINGS WINS ITS SUIT.
Attorney Noise Gets q Rel,earing and
tine Former Decis on Against
Town is reversed

The suit of Edmund R.xner against
the town Of Abita Springs for
$46S.9s, with per cent interest
from July 1, 1911, and 10 per cent
attorneys fees on principal and n
terest, and against Alexander Mutt;
and A. O. Pons tor the same, was
won for the town Of Abita by l.. c..
Mo Sc, attorney, on a rehearing OF
the case before the Court Of Appeals,
which had decided adversely on ap-
peal from the District Court of the
26th Judicial District.
The suit was made on notes given
by the town of Abita for street lamps,
which were endorsed by Mr.. Multi,
was secretary. It was pleaded that
f the town was not liable then Mr..
Mutt and Mr.. Pons were liable as
endorsers. Mr.. Noise answered for
the town, that as the ordinance and
contract arising therefrom was in
ccntravention of a prohibatory law
that the contract could not be en-
forced, even though the notes were
n the hands of tn I'd party, as this
party had taken them with construc-
tive notice of any want of power to
isSfe them
The town had refused to pay for
the lamps because it ella med that the
lamps did not come up to represen-
tations made for them. They had not
been used for some time, as the town
did not find them profitable or effec-
tive.

EFFECT OF OATS ON FLAVOR OF
MILK.

It has been asserted by some dairy
men taat the feed ing of crushed oats
to COWS will improve the favor OF
milk. To ascertain the correctness
of this theory q series of experiments
was made by the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture at the exper.-
mental dairy farm at BETSY lie, Md.
Six cows were used in the expert
ment three; were fed grain ration
of corn meal, bran and cotton seed
meal; the other three were fed q
grain mixture of five parts crushed
oats and one part cotton seed meal.
A number of samples of milk from
the COWS fed these rations were sub
m.tted to various persons in the
dairy div.si and they were asked
to Indicate their preference. In all
so opinions were passed on various
samples. OF these. 16 showed q pre-
ference for the milk from the cows
fed on curshed oats, Is preferred that
from the bran and corn ration, while
8 expressed no choice. The result
shows that in these rations. not only
was there no marked d ,ference In
favor of the crushed oats as feed
to improve flavor, but, if anything,
the ration containing bran and corn
was more successful in producing a
fine favored milk.-Weekly News
Letter.
