at the present time are getting along
as we'll as could be expected. DR.. Hal
version, the attending doctor, has all
cases we'll in hand.
,"Abe" Weatherwax and family were
visiting Sunday with Ross Leyder and
family.
Mrs. McKelvy and some friends
from Plaza were in Des Laos Sunday
visiting her husband, Rev. McKelvy,
who is the M. E. pastor at that place.
Mrs. McKelvy is teaching school near
Plaza. After her school is finished at
that place they will move to Des Laos,
as she has been engaged as teacher
for the intermediate room at that
place. .*
c. H. Weatherwax, VIM. Sayer and
James Richardson have each purchas-
ed small engine for handling the
cream separator and washing machine,
which looks better to US than buying
a gas tractor for farming purposes.
Quite a number of our farmers were
seen in the field last week
J. w. Hussey and L. B. Weatherwax
were seen in the field Saturday gath
ering stone and piling them in nice
little piles. Oh, those pebbles, there
/, are always a few left.
Our old neighbor, Chas. Dickerson
has returned to the land of his first
love and has purchased the VIM. Brad
I ley property in Des Laos. He will
make that place his future home. We
are certainly glad to see him among
US once more.
Mrs. Duran and family were visiting
Sunday with Mr.. Joe Pirkl and family
Miss Irene Pearson took dinner
with Fora Hussey.
Joe Boucher, wearing that smile
that never comes off, was seen among
our farmers last week buying hogs
and cattle. When we can sell fat
stock instead Of wheat and feed, IL pei
cent interest will cease to bother the
farmers.

Farmers are working in the fields
this week and very little seeding has
been done. This is considered rather
late season but if the weather remains
fair, the farmers will manage to get
in big crop by May /. AS a rule
not much wheat is sown after May 1C
and corn, according to the statement
of one of our most successful growers
should be in not later than May 20
Farmers are jubilant over prospects
for good crop, as the soil was never
in a more ideal condition at this time
of the year. 1t has an abundance of
moisture.

Billy Wise Writes
The Professor

Dear Dad:
l was in town yesterday and drop
ped in to see Mr.. H. S. johnson. He
grabs me and says, "Bill, you're just
the lad Pm wanting to see."
I says, "Well, take a look, but kind
ly leave my shirt on"
He leads me to chair and hands
me cigar that looks all right and
burns all right, but which made the Of
flee cat take sneak for air.
johnson spreads his legs apart and
stands in front of me, looking real
solemn and thoughtful.
Says he, "Do you know that fence
posts are scarce; that the demand for
posts right after seeding is going to
be ferce?" i.-
GLOW do you know" says I, "have
you had word from the weather bu-
reau?" ...
NO." says he, "but I've been wrap
ping up boards and passing out sticks
long enough to know that about the
time the robin starts to chirp and the
hired man puts up the drill that ev.
erybody's thoughts turn blithely to
fence posts and wire"
Correct" says little Billy, "they
also turn to love-"
"Now," he goes on, with wither-
ing look at me, "this year is like any
other old year except here he aims
a long, convincing like finger at me
Except that last winter there was
very little snow, logging operations
were light and posts this year are
hard to get. If you want to orde,
them now, I'll book you for 800 anc
you will be sure to get them when Vol
are ready"
And not wanting to have Olson,s
cows walking around in my flax,
books an order for the posts and 800
rods of woven wire fence. I can hau
it any time and the Rogers Lumber Co
carries the load
| Your son,
BILLY WISE.
P. S.: They sell woven wire now too

The cocaine habit has taken terri
BILE hold on good many young men
and women of this city, representa-
tives of the underworld. A number of
young lads have contracted the habit,
one of the most vicious known, so easy
to learn and next to impossible to
break. 1t is, as rule, contracted thru
association with denizens of the scar
let path. The stuff comes in white,
powdery, f1aky form and is usually
taken into the system thru the nostrils.
A pinch Of the drug makes a million
aire of the young man and a lady of
high caste of the girl using it for the
first time. 1t drives all care away.
Life is one continual round Of pleas
IRE as long as the spell lasts and soon
the stuff has gotten such a hold on
the victims that they'd part with their
very souls to get just another tiny bit
Of it. John Barleycorn is weakling
as compared with King Cocaine. 1t
makes criminal of the youth, dulls
all Of his finer sensibilities and drives
him to an early grave. Scores of
"snow BIRDS" as the victims are COM
monty called, have been hauled in by
the police repeatedly. Both young
men and women have occupied the
cells in our bastiles without showing
the slightest semblance of shame.
Someone is engaged in the sale of this
drug, which is punishable by very
severe penalty. Those guilty of this
nefarious business should be ferreted
out and given the limit. The time has
come to call halt.

The fair sex simply had to wear
their new gowns and Easter bonnets
Sunday, altho the day was trifle cool.
We went to church and could hardly
get interested in the sermon from gaz-

coat suits, altho we are free to confess
we didn't take the trouble to notice
whether the skirts were slit or not.
Mortal man will never get used to the
present day fashions.

Mr.. Clark, of the Northern Briquet-
ting Co., kindly piloted a number of
newspapermen thru the plant the first
of the week and opened their eyes to
the future possibilities of his great
industry. Mr.. Clark very honestly
made no claims for the plant that
could not be substantiated and ex-
planned the pitfalls that any pioneer in
the industrial field is heir to. The ma
chinery was installed at great ex-
pense, and while more than thousand
tons of first class briquettes have been
manufactured and burned, the work so
far has been largely experimental with
view of getting the machinery in
perfect running order for the better
days that are near at hand. So many
things to look out for. Practically
everything is done automatically, so
that when the plant gets to working
perfectly six men will turn out seven
ty or eighty tons in ten hours. The
material from the mines has to be in
just the right condition for perfect
work. The coking ovens at the mines
must first work just right. The pitch
that is used for the binder has to be
kept at the proper temperature and
must not be allowed to run out. No
foreign obstacle must get mixed with
the coke, otherwise damage might be
done to the machinery. The briquet-
ting press has capacity Of eight tons
and hour when everything is running
smoothly. Those who have burned the
briquettes are highly pleased with
them and the fact that this fuel is
used exclusively in the Kitchen of the
Hinot Normal school, and with perfect
satisfaction, is proof that this fuel is
certain to find favor everywhere. Just
a detail here and there to work out
and the plant will be running to capac-
ity.

1t is estimated that Will E. Holbein
will have the support of no less than
ninety per cent Of the newspapers of
the state in his campaign for Commits
sioner of Agriculture, and this sup
port is given freely, without the ask
ing, and only because his friends who
know him best realize that he's the
best man for the place. This is an en-
dorsement that money could not posi-
bly, get and "Old Bill" no doubt is
proud of it.

When Colonel Bloom, editor of the
yellow Devils Lake Journal, takes a
whack at a republican candidate, that
is a sure sign that that candidate is
showing some strength. The Colonel
thinks he's foxy old politician, but
the republicans, and some of the DEM
ocrats, are next to him, and he doesn't
cut a very big figure any more.

Minister Knew His Business.

It is said that no less than $500
changed hands as the result of the city
election at Kenmare recently. One
prominent citizen who had just won
$3.50, was approached by a minister
the next morning, who said: II be-
lieve this would be a good time to see

was nothing for the poor fellow to do
but to divide up.
