ABI(I SUCCESS

The One Cent Sale conducted by the
Otto Pharmacy last Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday was the most sue
ces3fuI ever put on by local druggist.
The sale was a unique one in as
much as yoU purchased one article at

another for one cent.
The buying began early Thursday
morning and continued right up to
closing time Saturday night Some
Of the articles offered for sale were
completely sold out before Thursday
evening and it was necessary to order
more sent up by express.

HOTEL WITTER DINING ROOM.
Since Mrs Fontaine has been away
it has been the writer's pleasure to
take several meals at the Witter Ho-
tel the past two weeks. In this man
ner we have heard many compliments
for the Hotel Witter, its rooms, beds,
dining room and excellent manage
ment of Mr.. and Mrs. Gerow. The
dining room is always specially COM
mcnted on by the travelling men IS the
best in the state when comparing its
size, its beautiful decorations and
finish, its faultless service under the
personal direction of Mrs. Gerow, and
its beautiful outlook The dining
room is 35 feet wide and As feet long
with windows on three sides looking
out upon the Wisconsin river, the Con-
solidated P. & w. P. Co.'S. park and
dam and the beautiful rapids caused
by the OVERLOOKING waters over the
dam and coming through the tail race
of the paper mill. The view is sur
passed by none. On this account the
Witter Hotel is becoming favorably
known turnout the state and nation 1t
want be long before the owners will be
Q, liged to add another story and ele-
vator. The present dining room will
accommodate leo guests at one sit
ting. It's decorations are artistic and
in good taste. It's an inviting place to
stop,

THIS WASTE SHOULD
STOPPED.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are lost each year, through unwise in
vestments, the purchase of shoddy
goods from irresponsible pedlers and
donations to charities which r I'M
worthy. The average man has not
the time or the means to investigate
all of these propositions which are
put up to him and as a result a very
large amount of money is absolutely
wasted in every community.
All over the country it is known
today that North Dakota has har-
vested excellent crops and that her
people will have money. AS a result
this state will be flooded with all
kinds of solicitors. The get-rich-quick
men will offer stocks and wares, So
licitors and pedlers of all kinds will
try to work all districts Of the state
and every kind of scheme will be
tried out, which will promise to "get
the money" for the solicitor.
There is better opportunity for
profitable investment in North Da-
kota today than in almost any other
section on earth. This state is
growing, she needs many forms of
business enterprises and u own
money should be invested in u own
state.
In many communities, commercial
organizations and farmers clubs in
vestigate propositions which are
presented to their members and ad-
wise them as to the honesty of those
who seek their money. Almost any
community has in it competent men
who can look into these different So
licitor propositions and report upon
them. Before you invest in any kind
of a proposition presented by tran
sient strangers Of whom you know
nothing, either have his proposition
investigated by your commercial or
farmers organization or by your
bankers. Thousands Of dollars will
be saved to the community and state
if our people will know that their
money is being well spent and that
none of it goes into the hands of
grafters.-North Dakota Development

WHEAT ESTIMATES TOO HIGH

The last government estimate of
the spring wheat crop of North Da-
kota is 127,OOO,OOO bushels. When
threshing begins tie big yields are
always heard of first. The later re-
turns where crops are diminished by
wild oats, by rust, by poor farming
and other causes are not made
known. The wheat crop of the state
is not nearly half threshed. Wet
weather may yet cause a serious loss.
The high average yield guessed at
when the first returns from the
threshers were announced will I'M
questionably be reduced when the
final story is told. The government
estimate is worth no more than that
Of any observing resident of the
state fairly familiar with the gen.
eral conditions of the crop. The es-
innate of fifteen bushel wheat aver
age for the entire state is beyond
question far too high. This estimate
gives a total yield of 150,OO0,OOO
bushels. The straw is heavier than
usual this year and %threshing is
slower work. It will take a month
of threshing to make a close esti-

A WISE FATHER

A wise man and father died the
other day in Denver, says the Duluth
Herald. His name was Bernard Beer
and he left a snug fortune, accumu-
lated during years of strict attention
to business. He also left two sons
who will get the fortune-if they de-
serve it.
His will provides that the two lads
shall each be given $500 at once
Thereafter they are to get each year
as much money al they have made
and saved. This is to say, if at the
end of the first year they have saved
a thousand dollars apiece they will
get another each from the fathers
estate. If they have saved nothing
they will get nothing.
Mr.. Beer hardly needed to explain,
as he did in his will, that in making
this provision his aim was to encour-
age habits Of industry and thrift in
his sons, and to induce them to &C.
quire a competence by their own ef-
forts and judgment.
Sordid poverty spoils many, but it
is very much to be doubted if it ruins
more than do unearned riches gained
by gift or inheritance instead of by
hard work. Perhaps such poverty as
that of the Sums destroys more in
numbers, but certainly not ore in
proportion. OF a hundred slum-born
boys and a hundred boys born to lux
urv and inherited wealth, more boys
from the slums than from the homes
of wealth will be worth while; for
the slum-born boy must work out
what is in him, and the rich boy has
no such compelling need for self de-
velopment.
Seldom docs anything worth hay
ing count for much unless it is gained
bv hard toll and personal effort an
Ingenuity. The Denver father wi
tied up his estate so his boys would
have to earn it while earning an
equal amount by their own efforts
was wise and better acquainted with
human nature than most fathers.
