and r. O. Johnson of Gary.
The Watson candidacy for the sena-
torship is especially undesirable to
those who are backing Goodrich for
the governorship nomination. MIR,
Goodrich for ten years was Republican
state chairman, and he held on pretty
close to the time the Progressives
slipped away from the party. Mr..
Goodrich is not known as stand
patter, at least his affiliations have not
been what those Of Watson have BEEN
and his friends believe that with him
they could get the support OF the for
mer Progressives. But with Watson
on the ticket as the candidate for SEN
ator and Goodrich as the candidate for
governor it is feared that the Progress
sives might shy. The Goodrich sup
porters favor Harry New for the sena-
torship and they appear confident in
the belief that New has the inside
track over Watson.
Adair May Lead Democrats.
The contest for the Democratic nom
ination for governor is between John
A. NJ. Adair of Portland, for eight years
a representative in congress from the
Eighth district, and Leonard b. Clore
of Laporte. Unbiased onlookers are
picking Adair to win because he has
the support of the strong state organi
cation.
The Progressives have filed petitions
for candidates for United States sena-
tor and governor, bat none for presi-
dent. Judge James b. Wilson Of
Bloomington will be the party choice
for senator and former Governor j.
Frank Hanly viii have no opposition
for the head Of the state ticket. While
the Progressive leaders can scarcely
hope to carry Indiana for a separate
candidate, the party may nevertheless
play a considerable part in the election
results. a number of congressional
districts as Wen as many individual
counties, are very close and a poll Of
only about per cent by the Progress
sives might swing the election to the
other party.
The big state issue In Indiana this
year. and one that will probably de-
eide the contest for United States SEN
ator as well. is the prohibition fight
or rather, the fight to keep away from
prohibition. Each side fears the issue
and in all probability neither platform
will contain a prohibition plank. Yet
prohibition is the real question in In
diana politics at the present time and
it may have a deciding effect upon the
national election in this state. Some
years ago II out of 90 counties in In
diana were as dry as laws could make
them. In y counties the question
never came to a vote. Then the unit
of prohibition was changed to the city,
village or township, and practically all
of Indiana voted to turn wet again.

Many Fargo Building
Projects Near Finish

Despite the. fact that the 1916 build
ing season in Fargo is drawing to a
close, and many of the buildings start
ed this spring have been completed,
considerable work is still under way,
and q number of new buildings are just
being started for completion this fall.
Among the last named class are the
Fargo Motor%Sales company's building
on Robert street, and the new ware
house for the Union Transfer Co., to
he located on n. p. avenue between
Eighth and Ninth streets north. Base
ments for both ~buildings are COM
pleted. Eape @wiil cost approximately
$4,000. .
Another larges structure in the same
class is the jbig addition to st. Luke's
hospital, which, 1t is planned. to have
completed blythe first of the Year. The
general contract has already been let,
and preliminary work started. The
addition is to cost $50,00O.
Probably fifty residences come under
this same head. Work on a new resi-
dence starts almost every day. The
time required TOR completing the aver
age residence is small, and it is highly
probable good many more will be
started and completed before snow and
cold weather stops operations.
Among the buildings already COM
pleted, or nearing completion arc many
fine additions to Fargo's progress. and
growth.
The new Northwestern Telephone
company's building on First avenue
north is nearing completion, and will
be ready for occupancy within the next
ten days. This building was erected
at cost Of $4,000 to provide larger
quarters for the ever expanding local
business.

SAY THEY
GAVE HIN
TOO MUCH
Advance -Rumely Co., in Suit
Filed Here, Asks Return
of Forks Property
MISTAKE IN SENDING DEED
Thought They Were Selling
One Tract, When Paper
Transferred Another

Suit filed in the federal court here
by the Advance -Rumely company
against Harry H. Bales, Grand Forks,
involving the possession of the
Advance -Rumely company's building
on South Third street, Grand Forks,
reveals an interesting transaction, If
facts alleged by the plaintiff are true,
the company charging that it gave
Bales a deed for the South Third
street property when, as a matter of
fact, it intended to give him a deed
for the property owned by the COM
pany at the corner of Seventh street
and International avenue, in Grand
Forks.
Cancellation of the deed to Mr..
Bales, coupled with a judgment for
costs for expenses to which the COM
pany has been put, are asked by the
plaintiff. They also ask the removal
of a $4,000 mortgage Mr.. Bales has
placed on the South Third street
property, or they would retain the $6,-
600 he has paid the company, apply
ing the same on the mortgage when
it comes due-Mr. Bales, however, to
pay the interest on the mortgage in
the meantime.
In its complaint, the Advance
Rumely company sets for that for a
period Of several months, over May,
June and July. a deal was pending
between it and Mr.. Bales for the sale
of the North Seventh street property,
worth between $4,000 and $4,000.
Finally, on July 18, the company
sent from it's home offices in LaPorte.
to the First National bank Of Grand
Forks, what the officials supposed was
a deed to the Seventh street property.
This was in due time delivered to Mr..
Bales, who accepted it, and who OBJ
tained from the First National bank
of Grand Forks loan Of $4,000 to
make the required payment.
AS matter Of fact, the deed cover
ed the South Third street property.
estimated at being worth from $4,000
to 100000.
In August, the Advance-Rumely
company discovered it's mistake, and
demanded of Mr.. Bales the return of
the deed-the correction Of the trans
action bsEgsg Savering a new deed to the
proper prope4 ". Four days after the
conpany's mistake was discovered bv
1t, the found the mortgage recorded.
The Advance -Rumely company will
produce correspondence to prove that
ell Of its chickering's had related to
the North Seventh street property
and that the deal clearly involved that
property.

The Ansonia apartments on Eighth
street south, owned by B. F. Wasem,

Newspaper unions building, corner
Fourth avenue north and Fourth
street, ave been completed, and work
on the walls is progressing. Opera
tions since started have been carried
forward rapidly.
Another fine building that is rapidly
nearing completion is that~of the Hor-
ton Motor company of Fourth street
north. This modern home for the au-
tomobile will cost approximately $780,
600. 1t will not be ready for occu-
nancy in less than thirty days.
A really fine structure is that of the
Pontoppidan Lutheran church, costing
$22, ,O0O on Fourth street north. Work
is going forward rapidly, and will be
completed in time for the dedication in
November.
Added to this lost Of large buildings
are many beautiful homes, including
the J. S. Watson, J. J. Feckler, New
salt and Bowers, which were started
this spring, several Of which have al
ready been completed.
1t is estimated that more than 800
homes were erected in Fargo this year.
The majority of these were small
homes, have been completed, ard are
now occupied.

Success of Ford's
Profit Sharing Plan
Is Strikingly Shown

Detroit Mich, Sept. 16-Henry
Ford said: IF you expect a man to
give you his time and energy, you
must fix his wages so he will have no
financial worries. It pays. Our profits
this year, after giving our employees a
big share in them, show that to pay
good wages is the most profitable way
to do business"
After a three-hour talk with Mr.
Ford one comes away with the con-
clusion that he has two great objects
in life: To give employment to the
greatest possible army Of men in
works of peace at the highest wages
paid in the world so they may live in
comfort and peace; and to do all in
his power to induce the military
armies Of the world to stop killing
each other and bringing suffering on
themselves and those dependent on
them.
The bigger our business gets the
easier 1t is to rum" said Mr.. Ford.
The price of the car has been re-
duced $50. which, on the basis of last
years output, would reduce the COM
pany's profit $40,000.000 this Year.
In that regard Treasurer Klingen-
smith said: THE coming year we
expect to make not an equivalent
amount Of profit to last year, but
substantial amount because of eff
cheney; that efficiency is due to an
honest days work for an honest days

The recompense for doing good is
the fact that you are able to do more"
declared Henry Ford in reviewing
the statement of the years business.
I'VE have had wonderful year and
it will enable us to give employment
to a steadily increasing number Of
men. It's our reward for treating our
men right and for sharing our profits
with them.
when we announced our profit
sharing plan there were hundreds of
manufacturers who said it couldn't be
done. They declared it wouldn't work,
Our statement shows whether it has
worked or not. 1t shows that we have
made a profit of about $60,000,OO0 and
at the same time have paid our men
the very highest industrial wages.

SPLENDID RECEPTION

Madame Johanna Gadski was ac-
corded a most enthusiastic reception
by the people of Fargo at the Fargo
auditorium last evening. In a program
of exceptional merit, giving the artist
opportunity to display her remarkable
talents to the best possible advantage,
she was very we'll received.
Madame Gadski's appearance, in
Fargo did not bring out as large an
audience as she deserved. but for those
who did attend. it was an evening Of
rare pleasure.
