Wind Plays Wierd Franks in Streets
Car Service Tied Up and VIM
dows Broken This Morning.

A heavy gale from the south swept
over Grand Forks this morning and
played a number of wierd FRANKS as
1t roared through the city streets.
The gentle zephyr blew down a
post supporting a guy wire of the
street railway company near the car
barns. with the result that the guy
wire fell across the feed wire causing
a snort circuit which held up traffic
for rs minutes.
A number of windows and show
cases were also broken. and those
pedestrians who adhered to stiff hats
found that it required considerable
skill to keep them in their proper
places.

BEST Way TO PUT Up
A CHRISTMAS TREE
TIME best and easiest way to put

NHE best and easiest way to put
III up Christmas tree has never
been patented or tpublshcd-n
fact. 1t Is so simple that it could not
be patented. Having failed one Christ
mas eve, to- provide a suitable foot or
base for the family tree, necessity com
PEELED me to invent one. because the
two youngest members of the family
would not heaH OF Christians. without
q tree.
SO sawed the butt OF the tree
square. then trimmed off Il few Of the
lowest branches and set the tree in II
good sized stone jar. Tho jar WAS then
filled with stones, pebbles, pieces of
brick and coal. All this material was
packed down tirmly and the position of
the tree so adjusted that it stood per
fcctly straight.
When the tree was in position little
Gretel had Il happy thought Let us
give the tree some water" she said
Just rs If it were II big flower" And
we filed the jar with water Then
we covered the stones with bits Of sill
yer tinsel and artificial snow. and now
our tree looked as II it was actually
growing In n big jar.
From time to time. ns the water was
drawn up by the tree. we refilled the
jar, and the result was that we kept
our tree green and fresh for month
Since that year our Christmas tree is
always put up in that way, and we
can keep it as long ms we wish. A
tin pail. tub or any deep vessel can
be used TO take the place of tho stone
Jar. and pieces Of coal or coke can be
used instead Of stones to hold the tree
In place
