SEND IRONS TO ROOSEVELT
Relics of coIonel's Ranching Days
Find Way to Oyster eay-Dis-
covered at Medora.

Fargo.-Ranchers and cattlemen who
who were close friends of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt when he operated
two cattle ranches west of here 30
years ago, were delighted by the re-
ceipt of a letter from Oyster Bay. The
letter was an acknowledgement of the
receipt of two branding irons which
Colonel Roosevelt used when he rode
the range.
The maltese cross branding iron,
with which the Roosevelt cattle on
the Chimney Butte ranch were mark
ed, was discovered by workmen who
were digging at Medora, the little
trading post where Roosevelt got
his supplies. The iron for the
elk's horn brand, the sign of the
Roosevelt ranch 40 miles north of Med
Grad, has been in the possession Of
County Commissioner Neuens of Bill
lings county for 20 years. He agreed
to send it along to Oyster Bay with
the maltese cross iron.
Colonel Roosevelt, in his letter, said
that Mrs. Roosevelt was ever more in
terested in the irons than he. and that
henceforth the relics will occupy a
place in the Roosevelt home. Jimmy"
Foley, North Dakota's poet and an old
item resident of Medora, was instru-
mental in effecting the return of the
Roosevelt branding irons to their ow-

Miss Singwell had been member
of the choral society ever since 1t
had been in existence, and it was I'M
doubtedly true that her first youth
had waned, but the choirmaster was
astounded recently by the news that
she had resigned her membership.
Resigned" he gasped. "But what
ever for?'
"Well, 1 don't know exactly" said
the secretary, "but it strikes me that
It may have something to do with the
solo we picked for her at the next
performance"

Electricity on Farms.

Rural distribution of electric current
has made great advances in the last
two years. In some communities the
farmers have financed local distribu-
tion systems, taking current from the
nearest cross-country transmission
line at one point and retailing it
among themselves. In other commu
mites Individual farmers find it de-
sirable to pay for lines directly from
the power plant to the farm. Other
electric companies install the connec-
ton and require yearly minimum
use proportionate to the investment
in the line extension.

have suffered internal injuries, but so

Cas-. County Free Of Debt.

Fargo.-Only $4,000 worth of bonds
are outstanding against Cass county.
This is the only debt the county has
and it is in position to pay this at any
time.
The bonds fall due in 1918, but
whether they are paid now or later
makes little difference as they are 511
per cent bonds and the $4,000 which
the county commissioners have to
meet them is out on per cent inter-
est, making the interest on the bonds
only " per cent. The bonds will pro.
badly run until they mature.

HOW TO HEAL STUBBORN

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatmek for people suffering
with eczema, fingworm. rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar
Of resinol ointment and a cake Of resi-
mol soap. These will not cost a bit
more than seventy-five cents. With
the resinol soap and warm water battle
the affected parts thoroughly, until
they are free from crusts and the skin
is softened. Dry very gently, spread
on a thin layer Of the resinol ONT
ment, and cover with a light bandage
III necessary to protect the clothing.
This should be done twice day. Usu-
ally the distressing itching and burn
ing stop with the first treatment. and
the skin soon becomes clear and
healthy again.-Adv.

DRUG HABIT VICTIMS.

| Some interesting IactS concerning
the use of habit-forming drugs in this
country are revealed in report re-
Gently issued by the federal public
health service. 1t has been a common
belief, and especially since the agita-
ton which resulted in the adoption
of the so-called Harrison anti-drug
act that addiction to habit-forming
drugs was becoming very prevalent
among Americans. The report refer
red to tends to refute this belief. In
stead of the number of "dope fiends"
increasing at the rate of 100000 a
year-which is figure that has been
extensively used by those who dis
cussed this problem-the official in
vestigation indicates that the actual
victims of this pernicious habit do not
number over $4,000, all told, and
that their number today is no greater
than it was four or five years back.
OF course this is bad enough, but it
is gratifying to learn that the stu
alton is not so bad as it has been
made to appear. 1t also is gratifying
to learn that the Harrison law is
having good effect, and that the
of deaths due to the inability
of drug users to get their usual sup
ply because of the law has been great
ly exaggerated.
Another statement Of no little I'M
portance is that the drug habit usual
ly is formed. 1t has been the popu-
lar opinion that drug users commonly
became victims Of the habit through
the carelessness of physicians in pre-
scribing narcotics, and the willingness
Of unscrupulous druggists to renew
1t is true that these
causes have been responsible for
many cases, but a greater cause has
,een the prolonged use of some medi-
zines and other patent connections
which contain a small quantity Of
soothing drugs.
1t is announced that the daily use
IF such a cough mixture for thirty
lays is quite likely to develop the
habit to an extent that makes it some
what difficult to leave off, while nine
" days use will mean the necessity
IF medical advice and aid before the
,aste for the drug may be removed.
This is not only news that will sur
Prise a great many people, but it con-
,titutes a warning that may well be
needed by all.

plan is an excellent one, and should
have the hearty approval of every

nearly eighteen hundred adults paid
their respects to the schools on "Gc
