WHEN POTATOES WERE NEW.
Ignorance of French Cook Came Very
Near Putting Them Out of Commits
SIGN as an Edible.

In France, arrangements are being
made for the celebration of the one
hundredth anniversary of the death OF
Parmentier whose name is INSOFAR
ably associated with the introduction
of potatoes as a popular comestible.
Louis XVI. promised to help him to
launch them by giving a banquet at
which they were to be served as an
attractive novelty; but the royal cook
unfortunately misunderstood the In
structSons given to him. Instead OF
boiling the tubercles. he cooked the
leaves as a kind of cabbage. The
courtiers, after trying every imagin-
able sort of condiment with the prep
aration, pronounced the dish detest-
able, and declared that no persuasion
would induce them ever to taste II
again. Inquiry. however, detected the
error which had been made, and sec
ond experiment brought the new deli
cacy into high favor.
no many remember that Mr.. Dahl
introduced the dahiia into civilization
with the intention of making the
tu5ers of which 1t bears so good crop
substitutes for potatoes?-The Argus.

RESINOL WILL
STOP that ITCH
Brings Instant Relief and Quickly
Clears Away Skin Eruptions.

No matter how long you have been
tortured and disfgured by itching,
burning, raw or scaly skin humors,
Just put little of that soothing, an
tiseptic Resinol Ointment on the sores
and the suffering stops right there!
Healing begins that very minute, and
your skin gets well SO quickly you feel
ashamed of the money you threw away
on useless, tedious treatments
Wherever drugs are sold, you can be
just as sure of finding Resinol Oint-
ment as court-plaster or toothbrush.
This is because doctors have prescribed
it SO regularly for the last eighteen
years that every druggist knows he
must keep it constantly in stock. It
comes in opal jars, for fifty cents and
one dollar, or you can try it at our ex-
pense. Resinol Ointment is most ef-
fective for healing sores, boils, wounds
and piles. Write today to Dept. 5-M,
Resinol, Baltimore, Md, for sample
of Resinol Ointment and a miniature
cake of Resinol Soap

four MORE
MEETINGS
FORFARGO

Four more conventions and shows
have been scheduled for Fargo to help
make the first of the year 1915 one of
the liveliest in the history of the city.
There will be a convention of the
North Dakota Grain Elevator Mana
the dog show on Jan. 20 and % inclu-
sive, the Mechanics Benefit union,
which will hold a session on Feb.
and 4, and the North Dakota Retail
Lumbermen's association will hold its
annual session here on Feb. "a and 25.
The meeting of the elevator mana
gers organization and the dog show
will be held during the Tri- State
Grain Growers convention and will
help to make this week the greatest
convention week in the history of the
town With the grain growers, the
dog show, the elevator managers, the
poultry show, the horne products
show, the meeting of the Equity So
.ciety, the pure seed show and tho
Grain Growers association, it can be
readily seen that the week OF Jan.
18 to 23 will be a most lively one.
Secretary J. p. Hardy of the COM
merciaI club has received definite in
formation that the elevator men will
come to Fargo on Jan. 20 and 21 and
ARRANGEMENTS are being made for taxi
ing care OF this meeting.
This convention will bring to Fargo
large number of the hundreds OF
managers of grain elevators in the
state for the purpose of discussing
matters that are of interest to those
engaged in the buying and shipping
of grain. The secretary of the or
ganization. in writing to Mr.. Hardy.
stated that the indications were that
the convention would be very largely
attended this year.
The dog show this year should be
a good one and there are a number
Of people taking interest in the mat
ter. The management are confering
with Secretary Hardy of the CONNER
ciaI club for the securing CT a suitable
location, which just at present seems
rather hard to find. The management
wants well heated building, which
would be most necessary. and If such
a building cannot be obtained at this
time it is probable that the show will
be postposed until later in the year.
III is the desire OF the management to
hold the show during the week of the
grain growers and every effort will be
bent to realize this desire. However
should suitable location not be Sc
cured the postponement of the show
win be announced

large number of German landwehr
soldiers and civilians are at work at
Waldhigoten constructing the double
railway line from Leopoldshoehe and
st. Louis. The French artillery with
its base at Belfort has now moved up
to within Ave miles of Altkirch. French
infantry and artillery now command
the heights above Guebwiller which
will soon become intenable by the Ger ,,
man garrison.
The Swiss paper Journal Du Jura
reports from Belfort that large
number of heavy creusot guns have
recently arrived at verdun, making the
fortress more secure from attacks. The
French army descending from the
Schlucht on Stossweier and Munster
captured Gebwenheim near Cernay,
where 5000 Germans are holding the
place. This manoeuvre and success
open a direct communication with Bel
fort instead of passing by the Ballon
d'Alsace. In these engagements sew
eral thousand soldiers on both sides
have been killed and wounded. Tho
fighting, though on a small scale, has
been terrible. All these troops are be-
ing held in leash from Verdun to Bel
fort, awaiting orders from General
Joffre. 3
