TAKE the COUNT

In an excellent match game at
the Grand alleys at Fargo Satur-
day night the Grand team, of the

a margin of fifteen pins. In total
pins the locals won by a margin
of 1853 pins.
It fell to Edlund to cop high
score honOrs for the evening

The Potato.

Potato eating has become a
habit, not because potatoes con-
tain enough nourishment to car
rv on life, but because they are
cheap, easy to prepare and bulky
enough to fill up the stomach.
The potato consists almost en-
tirely Of starch, and although
this has a place in the diet, it is
not capable of building up mus
Gle and strength. Constant ref
erence Is made to the hardness
of colonists and early settlers.
They were not raised on a potato
diet, for the potato was a luxury
as late as 1900, to be served with
sugar, nutmeg and mace. 1t is
a product of more recent years,
part ard parcel of the struggle
to keep down the living expense
at the cost of the body.
This doesn't mean that pota-
toes should be eliminated from
the dietary. for, like every other
food, they have a definite mis-
sion to fulfill, but they must be
used with discretion and in pro-
per combination. Excessive use
brings an inevitable trail of an
aemia, obesity and autointoxica-
tion. Country Gentleman.

STATE HAS CAUSE FOR
THANKSGIVING

Governor Hammond has issued his
proclamation designating Thursday,
Nov. 25, as a day Of Thanksgiving. The
proclamation, in part, follows:
"'The people of Minnesota have spe-
cial reason to give thanks to God for
His blessings through and by which
they have peace, contentment and the
material things necessary for their
welfare and wholesome enjoyment.
Unfortunately some who possess
more of the world 8 goods than they
need give too little heed to others who
through misfortune or other cause have
less than actual necessities demand
and so suffer. Will not the prosperous
at this time look for those who are in
want, relieve the distressed, help the
fallen to rise, and bring hope and cheer
to the disconsolate for the sake of Him
who has given us so bountifully3
HThere are no unusual disturbances;
tranquility prevails and there is little
of the bitterness and strife leaving
neighbor to suspect neighbor IF civil
designs or section to oppose section.
But greatest Of all, our nation is at
peace.
"In the midst of the greatest war
the world has known, accompanied
with the most awful loss of life and
destruction Of property and attended
by all the grief, misery and woe that
so terrific struggle can develop, Am
erica is at peace. Our hearts bleed
with sympathy for the stricken ones.
We pray that the terrible conflict may
end.
$50 it is especially fitting that we
should set apart day for ThaEksgiv-
ing, and I do hereby, as governor of
the State Of Minnesota, proclaim,
Thursday, Nov. 25, 1915, as Thanksgiv
ing Day, and 7 do most earnestly call
upon the people of our commonwealth
on that day to meet at their usual
places of worship in order that they
may there better render thanks to AL
mighty God for the manifold blessings
we enjoy.''

COMMON SENSE DECISION

st. Cloud Journal-Press: The deci-
sion Of Judge Roeser, which was con-
frmed by the supreme court, in an up
state case, is based upon justice as
we'll as common sense.
An agent for book PUBLISHING CO.
Germ as an inaucement to an attorney
to purchase set Of law hoods, agreed
that he would make no other sale in
that town. It later developed that the
agent had sold the same works to two
other attorneys. The books in the one
case were returned. The company
brought suit, and its contention was
that it's printed agreement signed by
the attorney contained the notice that
the agent had no authority to change
this contract. The court wisely held
that the promises Of the agent were a
consideration and that being violated
the contract was void.
The decision is valuable as prece-
dent.
It is often the practice Of unscrupu-
lous agents to make glittering promis-
es, and when the victim signs care
fully prepared printed form, and the
agreements made by the agent are not
fulfilled, the company who employees
the agent coolly informs the deluded
that it is not responsible for the argu-
ments used bv it's agent, and is only
bound by the printed contract. "a
1t is some satisfaction to have a
court adopt common sense in passing
judgment, and to override technicali-
ties that are an aid to fraud.
Thanks to Judge Roeser and the su-
preme court of Minnesota.
