~ Splendid Crop Outlook.
The main source of optimism at
present, however, is the splendid crop
outlook. There are some reports of
damage to wheat from the hessian
fly and the season generally ia back
ward. Nevertheless, agricultural con-
ditiOns as a whole are unusually
promising for an abundant harvest,
and there Is ample margin to allow
for customary deterioration and still
provide large crops of both grain and
fruit. Good crops will prove the most
effective stimulus to business in the
West; will provide larger transporta-
ton for the railroads; will enable far
mers to pay their debts; will stimu-
late the demand for agricultural ma.
chinery, and do more to restore sound
conditions in the great agricultural
districts THAI any other one thing.

So far as the railroad situation is
concerned, it would seem as II the.

for such a large party they had made their plans weeks in advance
even before they sent out their invitations The party was to be given o n the

t1ay said. The Invitations they sent out read Al follows: ~
THE mountain lizard family at home on the top of the mountain Thurs
day afternoon from 8 until Z. "
"P. s-Ptease come early. a we're going to have wonderful games first,
which win make ycu very hungry, and you'll then more than enjoy the good
supper we've prepared .#
when Mr. Sammy Snail opened his invitation he was much delighted.

If BACK HURTS

FLUSH THE KIDNEYS AT ONCE
WHEN BAckAcHY OR BLADDER
5oTHERS-MEAT FORMS URIC
ACID,

No ma or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a Well-knoWn authority. Meat forms
uric acid which, clogs the kidney pores
SO they sluggishly filter or strain only
part OF the waste and poisons from the
blood, then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, fadizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts. or liz
the urine Is cloudy. offensive, full OF
sediment, Irregular of passage or at
tended by q sensation Of. scalding,, get
about four unce OF Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a ta-
blespoonTul in a glass OF water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and has been used for generations to
flush cloggedG kidneys and Stimulates
them to activity, also to neutralize the
acids In urine SO 1T no longer causes
irritation. thus ending bladder disor-
ders.
Jad Salts Is Inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful e~fferyescent
Whitewater drink which ali regular
meat eaters should take now and then
TO keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure. thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.--Adyt.

WEDNESDAY,, JAN. %, 1914.
FARGo's MUSICAL TALENT.

The splendid musical talent dis
played in the concert given at the
First Baptist church last evening was
a revelation to many Fargoans. That
Fargo possessed excellent vocal talent
was known, but the remarkable pro-
gress and development in instrumental
work. as shown by the able renditions
of the Fargo Symphony orchestra was
a distinct and a very agreeable sur
prise to many in the audience.
The city Of Minneapolis has gladly
given thousands Of dollars annually as
a guarantee fund to build up the great
symphony orchestra in that city and
the success Of that organization should
be an incentive to the people Of Fargo
along the same line. This bread
cast upon the waters in the -four
city is now beginning to come back in
the way Of invaluable advertising for
that city.
But there is a broader and higher
value in the development of the must
cal talent of a city than can be
measured from a materialistic stand
point. Music is said to be the highest
mode of expression possible to
humanity n love Of music and an
appreciation of it's value and its pos
sibilitieS means an uplifted citizen
ship. Both those who play and those
who listen will be broadened and find
a cheerier and healthier outlook on
life.
70 bring about results shown at
the concert last evening means months
OF persistent, faithful work on the
part. not only of the leader but Of all
those who took part in the programme
was necessary. 1t meant a constant
struggle and the personal sacrifice of
time and pleasure and Professor
Stephens and his musicians deserve
not only the congratulations, but the
hearty support of every Fargoan who
is interested in building a bigger and
greater Fargo.

, t. NEW EXPRESS RATES.

Express rates will take a drop on
Feb. 1. In some respects they will be
cheaper than the parcel post and it
looks as though the companies were
starting out to give the parcel post
a race. Very good. That would make
the service of both better and give
the public the benefit.
In some states there are new laws
regulating express rates, but the re-
d2ction that is to become general next
month 5 by full and free compliance
rather than by litigation. 1t required
a Iong time n some other things to
bring the express companies to the at
titude Of servant rather than master.
The establishment of the parcel post
brought about this change Of attitude,
OF course. But for the parcel post, by
which the mails now carry I'D to
twenty pounds for all distances and IN
to fifty pounds within restricted areas,
the express companies would be fight
ing to the last ditch to avoid commit
ance with the statutory rate sched-
ules.
Nothing but the parcel post has
brought the express companies to time
in this matter. They are now in a no.
sition where. instead of monopolizing
the field, they have to compete for the
business and the celebrity with which
the change Of attitude has been
brought about is the best tribute to
the judgment of those who, for years,
urged the inauguration of parcel post
by the government. 1t is a glad dav
when the express companies are eat
ing out of the public's hand.

GOT TIME"
Opportunity tapped at a door,
With a chance for the brother wit

Opportunity tapped at a door,
With a chance for the brother with
in;
He raped till his fingers were sore
And muttered: Come on. let me in.
Here is something I know you can do.
Here's a hill that l know you can
climb"
But the brother inside
Very quickly replied:
"Old fellow, l haven't got time" !
Opportunity wandered along
In search Of a mar who would rise.
He said to the indolent throng:
Here's a chance for the fellow who
tries"
But each of them said with a smile:
Il wish I could do it, but I'm busy
today;
Very busy today, r.
And I'll sorry to say
That really I haven't got time"
At last Opportunity came
To a man who was burdened with
cares,
And said: 81 now offer the same
Opportunity that has been theirs.
Here's a duty that ought to be done,
It's a chance if you've got the time
to take it,"
Said the man, with a grin.
Come along, pass it in!
Ill either find time or I'll make it."
Of all the excuses there are
By which this old world is accursed,
This haven't got time" is by far
The poorest, the feeblest, the worst.
A delusion it is, and a snare;
If the habit is yours, you should
shake it.
For if vol want to do
What is offered to YOU. ;
You'll find time to do it, or make it.
