pistail indicated. and every possible

Recalled the "DeaP'.
Then the German company made Its
offer, II was small, ridiculously small
The Commune officials laughed at the
offer and the deal fell through and
forgotten--until along towards the
close OF last August when the Ger
man army advanced across the
marshes Of Saint-Gond without losing
man.
Another story I heard. from an
other source. was that some years ago
a German bought country home for
himself near Paris Upon a command
ing ridge stood his house and upon
the house was n pointed spire. To
the right and left of the house he
planted n single line Of fir trees. with
graceful, peaked tops, and, down the
slopes a few hundred yards, tennis
court In cement and asphalt was laid.
The German seemingly took sud
den dislike to his country home about
the time he had finished improving
II, for he went back to Germany and
did not show up again-until war was
declared.
Then he was wearing a uniform,
the uniform OF German officer of
artillery.
The tennis court was nothing more
than a foundation for heavy guns;
the country home, with its pointed
turret was the center of sighting
system. of which the fir trees to right
and left were adjuncts (notches). The
story has 1t that had the Germans
advanced to this point they could have
planted their heavy artillery on the
n-disguise, used the tur-
ret and fir trees to sight by and dom
mate every quarter.

East Grand Forks

f. Arneson is the president of this
company, while he has an able assist
ant in Mr.. R. w. Frazee, secretary
and treasurer. A clean, fresh general
merchandise stock that was purchased
with the view to meeting the identical
requirements of the trade in and
around East Grand Forks, is syste-
matically arranged on the shelving
and counters for display and sale.
Prints, laces, dress goods, silks,
satins, corsets, ladies' ready-to-wear
garments, shoes of several makes,
covering all that is desired by men,
women and children, brooms, vacuum
cleaners and neat, ample line of
groceries for the home. The Arneson
store gets quite business locally
here in the city, but the trade pouring
in from the country districts is the
main reliance, and it is a very good
one, too. During the past few years,
the call for high grade ready-to-wear
clothing for men and boys has seen
the entrance of such a department.
These gentlemen run their store with
care and judgment and it is pleasure
to see the satisfaction meted out re-
sulting from courteous treatment and
honest goods.

Bemidji is the county seat and prin-
cipal town. Almost every line of busi-
ness is represented. This town is a
distributing point for all farm prod
ucts, shipping the same east, also into
the Iron Range country to the north
Eighty farmers patronize the Bemidji
creamery.
The Lake of the Woods forms the
northern boundary Of Beltrami Coun-
ty and the Rainy River separates it
from Canada The surface of this
county is generally level, with a grad
ual slope towards the north. The
soil is a clay loan and sandy loan,
with rich vegetable mould, which is
the accumulation of centuries. The
subsoil is clay of various depths.
The country in general is heavily
timbered with pine, maple, ash, birch,
oak, Eastwood, elm, tamarack, etc.
The principal cereal crops and aver
age bushels per acre are as follows:
Wheat, 1854; oats, 27.61; corn, 246;
barley, 1913; flax, 8.8; buckwheat, 10
bushels. Hay crop has an average of
1SS tons per acre, and vegetables,
potatoes average lO4.42; onions, 1882.
Miscellaneous vegetables have an
average value per acre of $53.43.
Dairying, live stock and poultry
raising, truck gardening, etc., are very
profitable industries. The demand,
particularly from the Iron Range
country, far exceeds the supply. The
county is we'll supplied with railroads,

BYDAL & BYDAL.

1t has been about eight years since
the Bydal Brothers went in business
together in East Grand Forks. The
brothers, T. A. and c. NJ, respec-
lively, have been in the city for over
thirty years, Notwithstanding the fact
that the present business has only
been in for the first mentioned time
The line handled by the Bydal firm is
one that most essentially appeals to
the lover of good things to eat 1t
is a grocery and meat line, and few
indeed are the stores of this size and
character which possess a stock equal
to this. The groceries are the very
cream of all that is best in edibles,
comprising both staples and fancy
goods in great variety. The meats are
of course prepared stock, such as
smoked hams, bacon, with all the diff
ferent ramifcations. The utmost care
is exercised in seeing that only the
very choicest of the market is carried.
For the fastidious person and also
the genuinely and honestly particular
individual, who is careful what he
eats, and must have a superlative
grade in eatables, let us commend the
grocery and meat supply retailed by
the Bydal people. After trying out
the stock on hand, we believe you will
coincide with the critical majority and
agree that it is we'll chosen stock.

then there is but one place in East

choice confectionery for some ten
years, though he has been here in
East Grand Forks for twenty three
years all told. One of the purest and
cleanest lines of soft and hard candy
is here kept that exists in the radius
of many miles around this city. In
addition to the confectionery, cold
drinks of soft nature are always on

are much in the habit of dropping in
to Downham's for liquid refresh
ment. Ice cream, and it's many at

G.. J. KELLEHER.

The installation of hot water heat
ing systems is becoming a general
thing in the more prosperous country
towns and smaller cities, and is even
spreading to the residence of the pro-
gressive farmer, who for a reasonable
sum can have all the comforts of
city bathroom with hot and cold rum
ming water in every room of the
house if he SO chooses. Mr.. C. J.
Kelleher is we'll equipped for doing
just this kind of work, as he is prac-
tical plumber, and has had much ex-
perience in installing general plumb
ing, hot water and steam heating
systems; also pipe valves, fittings and
the like. He is also agent for the
Waterloo Gasoline engines which are
we'll known about East Grand Forks.
Mr.. Kelleher is widely known as one
of the more prominent Catholics and
is good business man at every stage
of the game. Give him trial when
next you think of putting in some
radiation or something goes wrong

KINGMAN PHARMACY

Mr.. Kingman, proprietor of the
Kingman Pharmacy, is a registered
pharmacist in Minnesota, as we'll as
in North Dakota. The pharmacy is
a fine one, and carries drugs, drug
gists sundries, toilet articles, sta
tionery, books, cigars and confection-
cry, complete line of Victrolas with
records. The store was opened in
1908 by Mr.. Kingman, who is
primarily a native of Holland, coming
to the northwest in 1889 from St.
Paul. He is secretary of the Sacred
Heart Catholic church, of which he
is an influential member. He is also
member of the Commercial Club,
while his daughter is organist in the
church. We would urge our people
making it point to give Mr.. King
man a goodly portion of their trade
from this on.
