GREED TAKES TOLL,

The greedy man stops at nothing.
This has been recently illustrated by
a certain class of undertakers. They
have deliberately taken the tears Of
tragedy and coined them into eXorbi-
tant profits. Undertaking is neces-
sary business and some undertakers
deal humanely with those compelled
to seek their services; but the bust
ness is cursed by some men who fol-
low it, and stop at no limit short of
the rankest exorbitance.
The Eastland disaster in Chicago
has brought this to light in most
distressing way. One undertaker's
license was revoked because he
charged a widow 1884 for burying
her husband. Another instance was
brought to the mayors attention by
Cy de Vry, the lincoln Park zoolo.-
gist. One Of his employees was charg-
ed $333.5O for burying his sister, an
other victim of the Eastland disaster.
Death benumbs the practical sense
of those afflicted and tne dishonest
undertaken takes advantage of this
fact. ITO bargain over the cost Of
paying final reverence to the body of
a loved one is impossible to grief. AT
the edge of the grave the living are
forgotten for the dead. 1t is Of this
human fact, so full OF pity and ap-
peal to generous impulse, that greed
takes despicable advantage This
suggests that it would be wise in time
of bereavement for those directly af-
flicted to place the duty Of dealing
WITH the undertaken in the hands Of
a friend who would see that they
were protected from the greed of I'M
scrupulous undertakers. 1t would be
better still if the decent men in the
trade would drive out the thieves.
The Eastland instances do not
stand alone. Death is daily episode
and extortion finds constant opportun-
ity. The sufferers do not go to the
law in such matters and the poor
suffer most. Hence there is the more
reason that dishonest undertakers,
along with other greedy men, be
brought to swift and proper punish
ment until they reform their ways.

EXPOSITION PLANS
SHAPING RAPIDLY
Indications Are That This
Years Exposition Will Be
Best Ever.
SECRETARY MILLS
PROMISES SURPRISES.
Any Number of Special Attcac-
tions Have Already
Been Booked.

Great preparations are DolNS Uldue
for the nnest agricultural exposition
North Dakota has ever seen. The
building a. Bismarck in which the
exposition has been held during the

Hearty support is being given the
management of the State Agricultur-
Il exposition, which is to be held at
Bismarck Oct. 4th to 18th inclusive.
A trip is being made throughout the
state and almost all the farmers ap-
preached upon the subject are heart
lily in favor of grand big exposition
this year. Exhibits are being proms-
ed and already plans are being made
by numerous counties for interesting
exhibits. Many individual farms will
have exhibits, and as the trip through
the counties progresses, the list of
these exhibits grows. The harvest
being so abundant this year, the far
mers generally are very liberal and
everything points toward an eXposi-
ton which will eclipse any other held
in Bismarck, in previous years.
Cash Prizes.
Two thousand dollars will he given
away at the exposition. Many far
mers in every county Of the state are
at the present time preparing exhibits,
as busy as they are, with their indi-
c1o Nd Lin1C
of grains and grasses will be exhibit
ed, not alone in the expectancy OF
winning one of the prizes, but because
each farmer is proud, and he can just
ly be proud, Of his harvest this year.
North Dakota is a great state but 1T
has been many years since the abund-
ant harvest has visited it as it has
This year. The premium list for the
exposition will be out soon, and they
will be mailed broadcast throughout
the state. Let every farmer interest
ed in the advertising of the state
make an exhibit of this years success
full work at this time. &c.,.

SOLVING DYEsTUFF PROBLEM.

Not long ago it was reported that
large amounts of American capital
were ready for investment in the
manufacture of dyestuffs, but large
mills continue to close their doors be-
cause of the failure to get dyestuHs
from Germany.
Great Britain has not yet been per
suaded to lift the embargo on the
dyes that are awaiting shipment -
Germany. Her control of the seas
enables her to force the closing of
scores of American textile mills.
Meanwhile England herself is manu-
featuring textiles and selling them in
competition with the United States.
She is using the war for her own com.
mercal advantage, and not merely
for the purpose of starving out Ger.
many
It must be clear by this time that
the administration, if it wishes Amer
leans to manufacture their own dye
stuffs, must meet the situation frank
ly. There has been determined ef-
fort by administration officials to
avoid the obvious necessity of pro-
tective tariff. The various substi-
tutes which lave been suggested,
such as an anti-dumping clause which
would prevent Germany from delug.
ing the American market as soon as
the war is over, do not meet the sit:
uation.
The party in power may just as
well recognize that capital will not
be invested in the manufacture OF
dyestuffs in this country until there
is a protective tariff that will equal
the difference in the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad. Germany
has mastered the art of making dye
stuffs. The business is in it's infancy
in the United States. Aside from the
disadvantage Of ineXperience, there
is the additional disadvantage that
comes to tho Americans by reason of
the payment of higher standard Of
wages.
Just as the tin plate, silk and other
industries have been built up in the
United States so can the dyestuff in
dustry be built up Until the govern
ment adopts the remedy which has
been used so successfully in the past
the country must continue to depend
upon the favor Of foreign countries.

Secretary of Board Of Regents
Visits Several

Gel. Chas. Brewer, secretary of the
board of regents, has just returned
from trip to Kansas, Iowa, Missou-
ri, and South Dakota, where he con.
ferred with tAe board OF regents Of
each state, and examined their sys-
TENS. This was an official trip made
by Mr.. Brewer for the purpose Of
gaining such information as lie could;
said information to be used by the
North Dakota board in establishing
their organization ard office system.
Colonel Brewer says there is no
country in the world like North Ia.
kota, and claims that there is much
interest demonstrated in favor of this
state. He says that everywhere nc
went there were inquiries about the
state as soon as an acquaintance
learned that he was from North Ia.

DOu'S TRIUMPH, -5y

Few dramas have ever received the
world wide fame and appreciation ex-
tended universally to Sardou's most
famous play which has been actel by
every great actress who ever played
and is regarded as the most exacting
emotional role ever written. AS pic
turized for William Fox starring that
eminent exponent of stormy emotion

dora rises to superb dramatic heights
impossible to attain within the limi-
tations of even the most modern Of
stages. Certainly no more absorbing,
or intense screen drama has ever
been filmed, nor has any greater act
ress than Nance O'Neil ever appeared
in the famous role of the Russian
princess.
Princess Fedora Romanoff, beauti-
full as Russian women of the aristo-
cracy are beautiful, is the sprightliest
and wealthiest woman in Petrograd.
The Prince ROmanoff, Whom she mar
ried avowedly for the old aristocrat's
money, has died shortly before the
story of the play opens and left her
the richest widow of the gay Russian

that Vladimir, fatally wounded in the
back by a mysterious assailant is dy-

name Of the man who killed him. Ger

centering on Loris 1panoff, an ac-
