Drinking Fountain Has Been Removed
The beautiful marble fountain, pre-
scented to the city by the National HUI
name Alliance, which has stood at the
intersection of Main street and Third
avenue for the past five years, has
been removed by the city commission
and stored at the city pumping sta
ton pending the selection of a suitable
site, when it will again be placed in
commission.
The matter of it's removal from
Main street has been the subject Of
more or less controversy, but on the
whole we believe that the commission
ers will eventually make such DISPOSE
ton of the fountain as to meet the
approval of all parties. The majority
of those who have expressed their SEN
timents regarding the fountain have
been in favor of it's erection in East
park, which would be most fitting
mark of respect to Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
Scarlet, to whose efforts the city is
largely indebted for securing this
fountain and to whom, also, the city
is grateful as we'll for the establish
ment of the East park. It's erection
there with suitable approaches would
fill long felt want as we'll as add ma
terially to the beauty of this magnif-
cent park.
The Commission has decided to erect
concrete watering fountains, one at
the end of Valley street, one on South
hill, one at the western approach to
the city, and two on the main roads
leading into the city from the north.
These are to be built according to the
latest ideas pertaining to fountains of
this character, and along lines that
will make them objects Of beauty as
well.

TOrson Talked Politics.

Hon. L. N. TOrson Of Rugby was in
the city Monday. While Mr. Torson
says that he is out of politics for
keeps, he is interested in the success
of others. He declares Oscar Knud-
son, former bank examiner, to be the
logical democratic candidate for gov
ernor. He thinks Hellstrom's chan
ces are nil. Some of Mr.. Torson's
friends declare that Torson himself
would make a good governor. He's a
first class vote getter, ready speaker
and he looks like real governor.

Pilgrims Progress, the book writ
ten by John Bunyan 257 years ago
during his Imprisonment in Bedford
Jail, England, and which attained a
greater circulation than any other
book save the Bible, has been done
into a feature film by the Ambrosio
Company of Torino, Italy, at an ex-
pense of $4,000, part of which was
subscribed by some English churches.
The part of Christian is acted by
Alexander Salvini, the worlds great
est actor. The supporting cast of
several hundred includes many of
Italy's best talent. The first reel is
a prologue and gives the life of Bun
yam, including the debauchery of his
early years, his conversion and call
to preach; his prosecutions and final
imprisonment. Three reels are de-
voted to the pilgrimages of Christian
and his family, showing their vicissi-
tudes in the journey from sin, SYM
bolized by the City Of Destruction, to
peace, the City of Everlasting Life.
This great production requires an
hour and a half to present. It comes
to Dickinson and will be given Mon
day evening, November 20, at the
Congregational church.-adv. 1t

DAIRYING is ANOTHER
NORTH DAKOTA INDUSTRY

Alex Monty, prosperous farmer
and elevator man tells very interest
ingly of his steps to success:
Dear Sir
In reply to your request I will say
that | am a farmer in western North
Dakota. l came here in the spring of
1905, from Bear Creek, Wisconsin.
The first summer 1 built a small
house on my homestead and fenced
the land. Then my money was all
gone, for $3.50 will not 20 far in
building and that was all the money
i had.
For the next three years I worked
out to get money to start in farming.
With the first money I earned l
bought a cow, a team of horses, an
old wagon and a set of second hand
harness, and in a year from that
time I had three cows. Then l had
to buy farm implements, a pillow, har-
row, disc and binder and two more
horses.
I then began to farm my land and
soon found out that l could not raise
wheat alone and make a success at
farming. Raising wheat only is a
poor way of farming. I have made
0 money milking COWS and I con-
slider that a farm without live stock
is like a wagon without a tongue. If
my friends and neighbors should ask
me what to seed on their land I would
tell them alfalfa, raise more corn,
feed the hay to their stock, raise
more hogs and feed the corr at home
and not to raise anything to sell un-
less If ran ua1k RI noorlyo+

they bring me a nice return every
day. Milking cow means a daily re-

Do colds settle on your chest OF in your

Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which * easily follows.
Scott Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special

turn and a daily return is what all
farmers must come to, for if they go
in debt for their living through the
summer they are just that much be-
hind in the fall.
If you are running a big farm you
must have hired help. 1t stands you
in hand then to have a few cows to
milk so that the hired man can earn
his board before breakfast and after
supper by helping with the milking.

rule.
The moment has come to re-
verse the practice. The slogan
which will lead to prosperity is
Buy 1t Now!
Never was it truer than at this
moment that the prosperity Of
this people is in their own minds.
By their own act they can hasten
the end of the existing depression
and speed the arrival of unexam-
pied prosperity. That end and
that arrival are certain to come
in any event, but a widespread
determination to cast off the fet-
tiers which doubt and aprrehen-
sion have put upon us in the past
will hasten the day.
The war, coming fast on the
heels of new tariff legislation
spread far and wide the seeds of
business distrust and individual
apprehension of hard times.
Thrift, virtue in it's place, was
carried to the point at which! 1t
became vice. Prudence Develop
ed into niggardliness; men ordi-
narily forehanded became misers;
the ancient maxim was amended
to read: Take care of the pen
MES and lock up the dollars out
of USE"
The result has been financial
stringency now happily fast dis
appearing, and business depres-
sion for which no reason longer
exists. 1t is time for people again
to resume the habits of life and
of business which characterized
Americans before this depression
set in. We do not counsel extra
vagance, but we insist that mig !
gardliness is no longer either
necessary or helpful-not even
to the person practicing it. If ev-
cry reader Of this paper, for ex-
ample, would loosen to the CHAM
mel of trade $40 in the next two
weeks for things they really need,
but have, through fear of the fu-
ture, been trying to do without,
they would be better off, business
would be appreciably stimulated,
and it's revival felt by those who
contributed to it.

oERmAny's COMPLAINT

And now Germany itself makes
complaint to the United States
that in it's opinion this country
has virtually acquicsced in the
British order-in-council, prohib-
iting commerce with Germany,
and that American dealers are
still selling arms and ammunition
to Germany's enemies, thus vio-
lating the spirit of neutrality. 10
this complaint the United States
is now making reply.
What that reply is, the Times
has not learned. But il will no
doubt satisfy any unbiased mind
of Gcrmany's mistaken view of
our position. The vigorous diplo-
matte notes this country has sent
to Great Britain protestinga against
England's action in interfering
with our commerce; with other
nations disprove Germany's
charge that we have acquiesced.
To the exact opposite of this we
are putting our country in condi-
ton to demand and secure rec
ompense for any and all damages
to life and property that the AL
lies may intlict upon us. The Ian
guage in which we have protest
tested to the Allies could not weel
be more vigorous without declar-
ing war upon England, which
Germany would no doubt like to
have us do.
AS for an embargo upon the
expectation of arms and NUM-
tions of war to Germany's enc
mics, it is true, as Germany says
that President Wilson did for q
time, forbid the expectation OF
arms to Mexico, but that is a spec
ial case, as the President pointed
out at the time. And the circum.
stances are by no means parallel
