The fact that this shipment COM

another indication that North Dakota

Several times during the past year
North Dakota has topped the market,
and yesterdays event is just an added

Of his love. and not go with this other

Would you let it go on like this?

You are most assuredly doing your
self and the young man an injustice,
You say that you love him; then why
don't you enjoy his company and allow
him to enjoy yours? If you care for
him under present conditions you
you would learn to care for him more
if you allowed him to call. Not only
that, but you could better study and
observe the young mans habits and
character, which would enable you to
decide whether he is the kind of man
you want for husband. BY asking
to call several times. even though he
has been refused, he has shown that
he is more than casually interested in
you. Unless you are a mere child,
you should let the young man call in
justice to both of you. Then If you.
both continued to care the other man
and woman would be eliminated in
due time. So long as conditions as
they now exist, you both have a right
to go with whomsoever you please.

surpass all former ones.
Program Excellent.
The program which has been pub
lished before, is certainly an excel.
lent one and with favorable weather
conditions great crowds are expected.
Even though 1t should rain the meet
ings are sure to be largely attended
for all the canvas is waterproof and
there is no necessity for anyone to
get wet.
The program as arranged will be
carried out rain or shine and ample
quarters arranged for strangers in
case of storm.
Henry Clark will be the principal
speaker tomorrow. He has spoken be-
fore thousands of Chautauqua audi
ences and is always welcomed back
to cities where he has been before
He will make two addresses one in
the afternoon and one in the evening
DR.. J. w. Brougher will speak dur

An unusual amount Of music has
been furnished for this years meeting,
both vocal and instrumental, and
there is treat in store for music

Teachers Gather.
The Teachers Institute will be held
during the Chautauqua. beginning
Monday at 10 o'clock when they will
listen to lecture by Hon. S. D. Fess.
Prof. Frank G. Pickell superintend-
ent of the Richmond schools, Hon.
Nathan C. Schaeffer inspirational and
educational lecturer and J. c. Hall
will be other speakers.
In former years it was the custom
to hold meeting and have those pres
ent bid on the number of season tick
cts they would take. but this method
proved unsatisfactory and this year
a new plan was devised Fifteen hun
dred season tickets were distributed
among the merchants to be sold at
$3.50. All of these tickets have been
sold, with the exception of about
three hundred and when these are
gone purchasers will be obliged to
pay $500 for them.
How Funds Are Divided.
When the Richmond Chautauqua
was first started thirteen years ago
it's promoter took half of the profits
and gave the other half to the city
for the use Of Glen Miller park, but
some differences arose and the AS
sembly became an incorporated body,
with forty guarantors. The profits
are now divided between the city and
the Y M. c. A. and if there should
be deficiency the guarantors are
compelled to make it up. but so far it
has not been necessary to call on
them.

The automobile is slowly supplant-

this week of Jim and George, two of
the Oldest horses in point of service
in the Richmond fire department
there will be but eight animals left.
Jim has been in the city's employ
for twelve years and was formerly
driven by Chief Miller. His mate Bob
has served for eight years.
The new aerial truck has arrived
and these animals who have served so
long and faithfully will be turned over
to the park department and will have
an easy time for the rest of their lives
Chief Miller thinks that Jim is the
greatest animal that ever lived and it
is at his request that the team is be-
ing kept In the city employ. When
horses are retired from the fire de-
partment they are usually turned over
to dealers who are requested to sell
them to someone outside of the city.
This is done because if the animals
are sold in town, it is possible that
they may be abused and If this should
come to the attention of some of the
firemen who have been their compan-
ions for years, trouble might result
John Brown has driven Bob and Jim
for a number of years and parts with
them regretfully. although he will get

will be transferred from Central sta

battle every time an attempt was
made to put bride on him. Now he
holds his head down to receive 1t for
he knows he will not be ill treated.
While hauling the brewery wagon
around he was evidently used pretty
roughly by the driver, for it is record
ed that in self defense he broke one
mans arm and the collar bone of an
other.
The men around Number I station
declare that one could set his watch
by Bob and Jim, for feeding time If
they are forgotten for a second, they
neigh and continue to do so until they
are attended to. If they want water
they kick on the door.
Joe and Dick, the team that will
leave Central station this week are a
magnificent pair Of grays. Joe has
been in the department ten years
while his running mate has seen but
two years service.
Albert Griffith who drives them
said that it has never been necessary
to lay the whip to either of them once.
From the sound of the alarm until the
scene of the fire is reached, he declar-
es that the only part of the harness
that touches them is the collar. for
they lay right against it and keep 60
ing. He takes pride in telling how
the team made the run out to Earlham
college without breaking into a trot
once the entire way.
There is a great attachment between
these two animals and they will new
er leave one another, although one
day Dick did run away. He went for
two blocks and Griffith followed on
Joe's back When Dick saw his stable
partner he stopped and was taken
back to the station.

Next to ministers, the most accepted

of Richmond, were the thinkers. who
travelled through wide regions repair

tailors, and the local cobblers. who
came semi-annually, to mend and
make clothes and shoes for the entire
family, were a regular institution. If
one could not get to the shop the shop
must come to the customer. These

only for the very necessary services
they rendered, but for the gossip they
brought from far-off neighborhoods.

There is no phase of the road

If maintenance. The general i'm
preston that there are certsin
types of roads that are permanent
is erroneous. No permanent road
has ever been constructed or efer
will be. The only things about a
road that may be considered per.

less they are properly maintained.
But the life of these roads may be
prolonged by systematic main
tenance. A poor road Will not
only be improved by proper main
tenance but may become better in
time than a good road without it.
The first and last commapd-
ment 10 earth road maintenauce.is
to keep the surface we'll drained.
To insure good drainage the
bitches should be kept open, all
instructions removed and
smooth crown maintained.
All vegetable matter such a.
sods add weeds should be kept
out OF the road as they make q
spongy surface which retains
moisture. Cods are also objec-
tlcnable for tn y soon turn to
dust or mud and for that reason
roads should never be worked
when dry or hard.
