SHOES THAT SAVE LEATHER
American Inventor Claims to Have
Made a Discovery Ct Much Eco
nomicai Importance.

If you were to hear someone say,
"He's wearing out shoe cotton looking
for job" wouldn't it sound queer?
You have been used to hearing it
said this way: Hes wearing out shoe
leather looking for a job"
But the new way won't sound SO
foolish if the plans Of an American
do not go astray-for he has invented
cotton shoe sole which experts say
Is as good as leather.
Leather is scarce and dear because
cattle are getting relatively scarcer
and scarcer every year. An actual
decrease of 100000 cattle in the
United States in twenty years has
been found by the census enumerators
of Uncle Sam. But in the same pc.
riod CT time the population of the
country has been increased by 29,C00,.
600. At the beginning of the two-de.
cade period, or in 1890, there were
almost as many cattle in the land as
there were human beings, but in 1910
there were we'll toward twice as many
people as cattle.
Inasmuch as cotton is cheaper than
cowhides, it stands to reason that cot
ton soles should make our shoes
cheaper.

for some time.
After BicyeIists.
Chief of Police Downing is on the
war path for a number of youngsters
in the city who have been using the
sidewalks as bicycle speedway. A
number Of narrow escapes have been
reported by pedestrian, and the Chief
determined to put a stop to the
practice. People who persist in rid
ing after dark without the necessary
light, demanded by the law, will also
be visited by the wrath of the Chief.
Premature Fourth.

registered with the police department

MOORHEAD ENJOYS
LAST Bic NIGHT

Fargo, June 30-lIuge crowds arc
tonight taking advantage of their last
opportunity to qucnch their thirst III
Moorheld joy parlors. Promptly at
II o'clock the doors of thirty-one sa'
looms viii. else as a result of the cleo
ton held May II When the voters de-
cded that Clay county SHOULD be dry
by oveiI 1909 majority. The past two
weeks has Shown a marked activity
of the saloon keepers to dispose OF
their large stocks. Prices were slash
ed to an extremely low mark in order
to move the goods. Most OF the sa-
looms have by these methods mater
tally reduced their stocks SO that lit
tie will remain to be shipped to the
wet territories. Large quantities of
wet goods has been delivered in the
two cities during the past three days
and an enormous amount has been
taken away by visitors to their homes
over the state and Minnesota. Fix.
press shipments have been unusually
4atEge,, ali indicating that booze VIII
once more at least occupy It's old
place in the Fourth of July celebra-
tions. The speed of the attack and
he sudden manner in which the sa-
looms were outsted came as a distinct
shock to saloon keepers after they
had easily won out in the local option
election. Many have been unable to
decide on coure for the futu,e while
others will nave to some part of the
yet wet zone. Moorhead's nine break
.ng branches suspended business a
few days, after the election. Under
he provisions Of the option law the
saloon keeper had six months i'll
which to close their places Of busi-
aegs. THIS would have given them
until about December l, as the pres,
ent licences expired on JNne so, appli-
cation had been to the Moorhead city
council for short time licenses cover
ing that time but on The night the
council was to have acted on the ap-
plications, the saloon keepers as a
body withdrew them. 1t is understood
that test case is 10 be made of the
option law with regard to its relation
between the couny and, the city, but
whether the threat will be carried out
remains to be seen.

TELEPHONlNG IN THE FIELD
important Branch Of Warfare That
Has Been Brought to Practical
State of Perfection. ..

The telegraph section that accom-
panies every large column of the
troops now at war resembles a gun
team. According to Great Deeds Of
| the Great War;" the section is made
up of two vehicles, one of which is
the timber, and the other Of which
carries, not gun, but a great drum
upon which are wound many miles OF
cable. As the section goes forward,
a ratchet on the lrub of wheel en-
cages another on the drum, and the
cable is unWound. Behind the drum
rides soldier, who carries a lance
like pole that ends in a hook instead
of a blade AS the cable unwinds, the
soldier deftly catches it and thrusts it
aside, so that it will be clear of all
traffic. If the telegraph or telephone
system is to be more or less permanent,
the engineer section that follows
stretches the wire on light poles that
they take from one Of the wagons. If
the section is moving rapidly in dan
gerouSl country, 1t pays out, as II
travels along, heavily insulated
ground cable, and swiftly hides it be-
side the road-in ditch, for example,
On the timber, strapped to his seat,
is a telegrapher, with a receiver
clapped firmly to his ears, and with
sending" button under his finger.
Even as the section goes along, even
as the great drum Of cable is I'M
wound, he can talk, to the general
staff many miles behind. AS the sec.
ton moves, the cavalry scouts come to
it, give their reports, and receive
these sent on from headquarters;
Rocking in his jerking seat, the teleg'
rapher is sending and receiving in,
structions as if he sat comfortably in

Modern Business.


Oh, business, what sins are com
mitted in thy name! Thou art like
charity, for thy magic formula doth
cover multitude Of sins" Many
are the men who fall down and wor;
ship thee (and none other)! Not only
time and talent, but hearts blood are
sacrificed on thine impious altar!
Thy shrines are cold with dead loves,
reeking with forfeited joys. Mercy
and pity are vanished far from the
portals of thy temples. Sweet char.
ity falls dead, stricken by the glare
Of thy polished brass. Thou slayest
ideals and murderest sympathy and
dost crowd the spirit Of service out
Of the road of life. Thou killest with
surfeit and mad passion Of contest;
thou dost suffocate the timid and weak
with want and fear Of age, hunger and
infirmity. Thou art blasphemous,
arrogant, heartless idol and tyrant OF
man. Rev. G. /. Browne.

Take Station

Washington, June; 3O.-The United
States is seriously considering taking
over the wireless station at Sayville,
L.sI.. one OF the two great plants by
which direct communication between
the United States and Germany is
maintained. The other station at
Tuckerton, ". j, already is under
government control. Evidence Of al
legged violations Of neutrality at Say
vile, Notwithstanding the censorship
by the navy department, has been
gathered by the department Of COM
merce. The belief of high naval Off
GERS here IS that the Sayyille station
is powerful enough to communicate
with submarines across the Atlantic,
thus making possible the use of AM
erican territory as a base of hostile
operations. The officials of the navy
and commerce, departments favor the

Probably the most far-reaching law
in its effect is that placing the edu-
cational institutions under board of
regents.
'- AboIshes Old Board.
This law aboishcs the two boards
of trustees which administered the
affairs of the Agricultural college and
the University Of North Dakota. The
board of regents also supcrsedes the
Normal BOARD, which shaped the pol
icy of the three Normal schools and
the various local boards that manag-
ed the institutions at Bottlneau, Wah-
peton and Ellendale.
The board OF regents also will
supersede the work now conducted
by the state library commission. This
will serve to indicate the large pow
ers conferred upon and the variety OF
the duties falling to the lot OF tue
new educational board of the state.
Board Is Named.
Governor Hanna has named the
board, which will meet at Bismarck
socn, to select a secretary at a salary
not to exceed $500 a year. AS soon
as the board is organized it is re

pert from without the state to make

who shall outline for the board the
proper coordination and colrelating
of the work in the various institll-
Educational Commissioner.
Following this work an educational
commiss oner is to be appointed at a
salary of not more than $4,000 year,
who shall have supervision over the
educational institutions and report
only to the board of regents.
The Offices of the board are to be
located at the state capitol. .-+
While the board of regents bill is
the most important measure affecting
education, other laws tending to i'm
prove conditions become effective to-
day.
More Authority Given.
Greater authority is given to schoo
boards to establish free kindergar-
tens.
