Every line in a newspaper costs the
proprietor something. If it is for the
benefit Of the individual it should be
paid for. If the grocer were asked to
contribute groceries to one abundant
ly able to pay for them, he would re-
fuse. The proprietor of newspaper
must pay for the free advertising, if
the beneficiary does not, and yet it is
one of the hardest things to be learn
ed by many, that newspaper has
space in it's columns to rent, and must
rent them to live. To give away rent
for anything less than living rates is
as fatal to newspaper as for land
lord to furnish rent free.

BRIEF STATE NEWS

Theo. Tobias, candidate for county
superintendent of schools of Mclean
county, was placed under arrest at
Max recently for stealing grain from
Fred Affeldt, southeast of that place.
The states attorney and sheriff have
been notified and his hearing will be
held at which time he will come before
the insanity board for examination.
Secret service headquarters have
given notice of dangerous counter
felt of a $40 note of the Minneapolis

executed as to possibly deceive even
expert money handlers, and of a coun-

eral Reserve bank, which is not so we'll
executed.
Martin Ulmer, a farmer living near
Dawson, has just sold 40 young hogs,
the progeny Of six brood sows, which
retted him $1,220.00. These hogs were
fed almost exclusively on alfalfa until
the owner began to finish them for
market, when little grain was added
to the daily ration. The margin of
profit in animals fed in this way is
very large and the profits would have
been very satisfactory on animals Of
this size even at the prices which or
d;narily prevail. This is but one Of
the many cases of successful pork pro-
duction which has come to the atten-
ton Of North Dakota people.
H. R. Hall of Woodbine, Ia, was in

paper man who, it will be remembered,
was homesteading near Fairlawn,
and mysteriously disappeared from
his homestead shack year or more
ago. Mr.. Hall states that no news of
Mr.. Lipphardt has been received by
any of his relatives or friends since
his disappearance.
Check artists operated in Litchville

of well-known farmer was signed to

Saturday afternoon the two hired an
auto livery across to Valley City and
rendered another check for SIS in pay

ANNOUNCEMENTS
AT THE AuplToRluM.
PaIlas Pictures Presents Dustin Far nun in The Gall of the cumberIands Today and Tuesday.


 A very striking photoplay has been secured to appear at the Auditorium today and tomorrow. It is taken from the well known book and play The Call of the Cumberlands and has Dus- tin Farnum for it's star. Charles Ne vile Buck wrote the book and the story has been picturized by the Pallas Picture Go. and released on the Para mount program. In the cast besides MT. Farnum who plays the role of Samson South, are such we'll known vies, Winifred Kingston, Myrtle Stead man and many others. The story in part is as follows:
 Samson South, destined to be the leader of the clan of the Souths in their feudal activities with the Holl- man faction in the Cumberland noun tains, displays talent as an artist. Dur ing the period of a truce between the factions he is discovered by an artist, who is in the mountains painting the scenic beauties. Held in the grip of indecision as to leaving his mountain home and the love of his youth or casting aside ambition, he finally de- cides to go to New. York to study
 There he meets the beautiful and polished sister of his artist -benefactor, and as success is pouring its wealth at his feet he answers the call of the Cumberlands and returns to lead his the Hollmans who have violated the truce.
 And then Samson South answers the call of his heart.
 Other excellent photoplays will be shown also, including a very good two reeler, The Nemises and the Pathe comedy, Hapless Happenings.
