taken as proof that the disease is
hereditary. This does not at all fol-

THIS MAN MADE SURE

my wife and I looked at 1t from
2 business standpoint" said a friend
last week.
Men protect their business. Yet
many of them put off protecting home
and dependents. Business loss Is Of
ten replaced, but in life u loss is
total. 1 figured that my earnings are
my wife's income. With me gone her
income ceases. So I protected her.
Now If anything happens to me, /
don't sentence her for her remaining
days to a life of hardship and misery.
She will have enough to live COM
fortably. And I am making certain
that if 1 should die the payments on
my home will not stop and leave her
without a roof over her head.
Il know two men who put off taking
insurance SO long that they could not
pass the physical examination when
they were ready. 1 am glad 1 didn't
make the same mistake"
You will never know what insurance
means to you until you investigate
fully. Get the facts here. No obli-
cation on your part. Phone or let's

BITTER ORANGE JELLY

Specialists of the department in the
course of experiments have observed
that the hitherto useless fruit of the
sour or bitter orange can be made to
yield a highly %palatable jelly which
promises to afford a use for a large
amount of this wasted fruit. This
fruit is too bitter to be eaten raw.
The chemists, however, found that
the pulp or interior of this orange,
with the unusually bitter skin re-
moved and with the addition OF twice
as much sugar. would jell into an
amber-colored product not quite so
bitter as bitter orange marmalade but
having some of the characteristic flaw

RAINBOW TROUT EGGS
FOR NEVADA FISHERY

Learning that the United States
fisheries at Baird, Calf, contained an
excess quantity of fish eggs of the
rainbow trout variety, and there be-
ing a shortage of that kind in Ne
Vada. Fish Commissioner Mills re-
Gently wrote the superintendent, @.

state. Mr.. Mills received a reply
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1915-04-14

stating that 100000 eggs were avail
able and would be shipped as soon
as instructions arrived.
The shortage in rainbow trout eggs
in this state was caused mainly by
high water the past season and the
washing away OF the spawning
grounds, the Truckee river being the
principal sufferer.

White SAYS OUR
EXHIBIT IS Great
DECLARES THAT NORTH DAKO-
ia HAS THE FINEST CORN EX-
HlBIT AT SAN FRANCISCO
FAIR-WAS FIRST NORTH DA-
KOTAN TO REGISTER.

Mr.. and Mrs. Eden White have re-
turned from six weeks visit in the
west. They visited at Medford, Ore,
where they are interested in a 400
acre fruit orchard, visiting Mr..
Whites brother, Ed, there. Enroute
home they came over the southern
route, visiting Arizona and Texas.
Thru Iowa and Minnesota they found
much snow.
They spent considerable time in CAL
ifornia, seeing both eXpositions. They
found the one at San Diego very pref
ty, tho not on such a gigantic scale as
the San Francisco fair. The San Diego
grounds have unusually pretty gar
dens. At San Diego they called on
F. E. Graves, formerly of this city,
now prominent real estate dealer
there. At Los Angeles, they called on
Mr.. Graham, formerly employed by
the city of Minot as a civil engineer.
He now has charge of some big work
that James Kennedy is doing and he is
making good. In many of the Cali
fornia cities, Mr.. White noticed thous-
ands Of buildings either for sale or for
rent.
Mr.. White was particularly interest
ed in the exposition at San Francisco
and especially in the North Dakota ex-
hibit, which he brands as first class in
every particular. The building is To-
Gated on a three -cornered lot, and has
two entrances. AS you enter, you see
large light house, made of North
Dakota corn. He declares our corn ex-
hibit is the very best of the fair. The
light house bears the inscription,
North Dakota Enlightening the
World and about it's sides are the
terse statements: Everybody falls in
love with North Dakota" "Smiling ma
ture awaits you in peerless North Da-
kota,' and '"No sage brush to clear
before you put in a crop-the land is
ready for you;" "The State of Oppor-
tunity and the land of plenty" The
letters are formed of grasses and
grains. The state seal appears in
grains. Mr.. White visited the build
ing several times and heard only
words of praise. One wing is devot-
ed to minerals. There is an immense
block of coal weighing several tons.
This has been covered with tar to keep
it from Stacking. The Hebron Brick
Co. has fine exhibit and there is a
fine display of clay and pottery mater
ials. One wing is devoted to our
grains and grasses. Upstairs is the
rest room, which so many of the
buildings lack. A player piano fur
nishes music. One can sit on the ver-
anda and look out onto the bay. Kan
sas and Iowa have good buildings, but
no display and the doors are locked.
Minnesota's building was not complet-
ed. Canada has outdone even Califor-
MIA. "It's a great fair-we don't know
the wonders of our own country" Mr..
White declared. He was the first North
Dakotan to register at the building on
opening day.

Discovered a Gold Mine.

In Williston there is great excite
ment over the fact that cartoon, the
mind reader that appeared at the
Grand few weeks ago, has discover
ed a Gold Mine. A real estate man
who asked about a certain piece OF
property in the neighborhood of Will
iiston was told by cartoon it contain
ed gold-bearing quartz. cartoon, who
is appearing at the Star theatre, char
tered an automobile the next day and
drove out to the property with the
owner and took him to the very spot
They knocked off a piece Of the rock
and upon examination it was found to
contain gold quartz. This wonderful
man is attracting great deal of at
tention in Williston, and the manager
of the Grand Theatre has been fortu-
nate enough to secure him for re-
turn engagement, commencing next
Monday ight. If you are in doubt
about anything, now will be your op-
portunity to settle the question.

DIES AT GLENDALE
OF THE GLENDALE
LEADER PASSED AWAY SUM
DAY FROM LEAKAGE OF THE
HEART.

Editor Goddard of Glendale is dead.
We received telegram from a son of
our old friend Sunday conveying the
sad news that the publisher had pass
ed away at his home at half past six
o'clock that morning from leakage of
the heart. Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Goddard had been ill for months
and for the most Of the time was con-
fined to his bed. At the time of the
winter press meeting at Fargo, Mr..
Goddard telephoned his greetings to
the "boys," talking thru phone at his
bedside. Resolutions of sympathy
were passed by the association and
carried to him by wire.
Editor Goddard was one Of those
great big, good-hearted men, true
gentleman in every sense of the word;
a capable business man, and splendid
asset for the city of Glendale and the
state.
The Independent editor sincerely re-
grets the loss of our staunch friend
and his wife and family have our sim
cerest sympathy.

had no tendency to stay out at night.

DR.. and Mrs. w. J. Wood, her par

from Evanston, one
from Montreal, one from Shreveport,
one from Spokane, one from Glencoe
and one from Hubbard Woods. The
seven will be on "probation" for three
years and correspond with Miss
Woods at stated intervals.

FOUR BATHS PROVED FATAL
TO AGED MANDAN PIONEER,

Mandan, N. D., March 22.-"Give a
man a bath and care when he lived in
dirt, unbathed for years, and it is liza
BILE to kill him." said the matron of the
Mandan hospital a few weeks ago
when Mike Keating, aged 101, was
taken in charge and cleaned up for the
first time in twenty years.
The prophesy proved true, as Keat-
ing died this morning. The shock to
his system when given four baths to
remove the accumulation of dirt, caus-
ed his death. He was one of the oldest
settlers of Dakota Territory, and held
record for being the oldest man who
ever proved up on government
homestead.
