Comparatively few people, even in the city

that within the last few months new bust

near future, to assume proportions of con-
siderable magnitude We refer to the Blue
Ribbon Poultry Farm owned by C. H. Ahren,
who has recently located about two miles
northeast Of the city and proposes to engage
in the breeding of Commercial and Fancy
Poultry on a large scale.
Mr.. Ahren was formerly located near Far
go, N. D., where he was very successful and
where he had fine business but where the
soil was too heavy and cold to secure the best
results in poultry propagation and so he be-
gan scouting for new location.
After looking over various sections in diff
ferent parts of the state, he finally selected
what is known as the "Grundman Forty"
northeast Ct the city, which he purchased
from the w. A. Moore Land Company.

ideal place for large poultry plant. The lake
shore furnishes splendid opportunity for

CHILDREN's EVENING STORY

| It was too bad the little creatures
had had a falling-out so soon, but
please wait just moment and see
what happens. No sooner had Jimmie
started to go home-Jackie didn't
know why, you see, for he didn't know
1t was wrong to bite the ball-no soon.
er, say, did Jimmie start home, than
out from the bushes jumped great
big water rat, with ugly, cruel, sharp
teeth and wicked eyes.
Oh, how frightened Jimmie was. for
he. knew big water rats ate ducks,
But what do you suppose Jackie, that
puppy dog, did? Why. he just growl
ed away down in his throat. and he
stuck up one ear as far as 1t would
go, and he let the other ear fall down
as far as it would fall, and he opened
his mouth, and he showed his teeth.
that he had sharpened on Jimmie's
ball, and he jumped right at that bad
rat! Yes. sir. right at him, growing
all the while!
At first the rat was going to fight
but when 1t saw how brave Jackie
was. it turned and ran away And
then that PUPPY dog just put his little
tail between his legs. and howled, and
ran away, too: Jimmie waddling after
him. You see Jackie was frightened
after 1t was all over, but he had
frightened the rat worse yet.
GLOW brave you were!" cried jim
mic, when they were at Mrs, Bow
Vows house. you were very brave,
indeed
"Do you really think so?" asked
Jackie. "Then must be-"
"You can bite my ball all you want
to-" went on Jimmie, and then Peetie
came home from the store, and they
all had fine time playing catch. Now
tomorrow night I'm going to tell you
about Grandfather Goosey-Gander's
tall hat. if l don't lose penny off the

"Then let's you and I have catch

So Jimmie tossed the ball to Jackie
