sparsely settled portion of the
state, with hills mountains and
dense underbrush near at hama,

Furthermore, the prison tract

about 1875 acres. The balance Is

unrestrained by walls or guard

why NOT?

DOWN In lIle southeastern corn
or of Grand Forks county. a mill,
or So from the Red River, and ten
miles from railroad, there was,
until Uncle Sans rural delivery
rendered it no longer necessary,
a county post0ffice which bore
the peculiar nam" of WhynUt.
There is an interesting story con-.
nccted with the establishment of
'his office and he adoption of it's
name.
\ good many years ago E. K.
Larsgaard, then a young man,
came over from Norway TO seek
his fortune. He had neither
means nor friends, but he was in
dustrious and persistent. He
worked at many occupations, "a
mong them that of peddling. In
the pursuit of this calling he trav
cled back and forth through south
crn Grand Forks county where
the people were Well-to-do and
spoke his language. AS he be-
came acquainted with the locality
it occurred to him that a little
store in that district might be
made to pay. Occasionally he
mentioned this TO the farmers
whose homes he visited. The
plan did not seem feasible to them
and they told him it wouldn't do.
"Why not?" he would ask. He
demanded reason. The argu-
mems advanced did not convince
him. He belived the thing could
be done. The idea grew upon
him and he approached it frequent
ly. The neighhors laughed at
the peculiar notion of the young
peddler. and good Maturedly AS
sured him that there was nothing
in it. But the one question rose
continually to his lips: Why not?
He was willing to abandon the
idea if he could be shown that it
was not. sound. hut he would ac-
ce.'t no mans mere statement
that the thing was impossible
While entertaining his vision he
did not neglect his daily work.
He saved a little money and stored
il away. He added TO it from
time t" time: and presently he
had enough to start modest lit
Tie store. Convinced in spite Of
the protests of thcors. that his
own theories were sound. he pro-
reedcd to put them into practice.
He bought a bit or ground on the
corner of farm, and built lit
tie store. The neighbors. recall
ing the question which had be-
come so familiar to them. dubbed
tho store "thc town of Whynot.
and Larsgaard accepted the name.
Later. when a local o"S'offirc wa~
established. with Targaard in
charge. the name was retained.
and the questi'n, which has been
asked so often by the persistent
young fellow who would not be-
convinced was formally recorded
as the name of a United states
Postoffice.
Whyn"t never bcacnc a metro
polls. and LarGaard did moi. be
come a millionaire. But the
place became the r"ndezuus aud
trading place of the people of a
rich and pupulous district. and
its owner has for years been "A
man of affluence. He is not a
pluneer or IA SPECTATOR. He is
cautious and conservative. But
he is resourccful and persistent.
He has never abonded an idea
merely because somebody told
him it wouldn't work. He has
wanted TO known 'Why not ,"
