We would not venture to say who the
actors were for we couldn't tell, as
they all played their parts to perfec-

be doing the rest an injustice. We've

such places as Grand Forks and Fargo

that weren't there would ask if they

Many lame, weak and aching back

pie worth reading:
Mrs. H. D. Horst, Washington Ave.
Minot, says: "Several members of
our family have been cured of back
ache, headaches and dizzy spells by
Doan's Kidney Pills. One of the fam
lily had a lot of trouble with the kid
ney secretions. A couple of boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills quickly removed
the complaint"

Boys, watch for yours next week.
THE TASKER BUM.
Now take my pen in hand
And prepare to tell all the land, "
The gruesome tale of "The Bum so
grand
Who used to play in "the Tasker
Band"
His business is buying and selling, as
we'll 49,,
AS cursing and swearing, and lying
like H.!
The rest of his faults We'll not aim to
tell,
But for poor grass widow his heart
fell.
Of his business "calling" is another
phase,
A visit to each of his neighbors he
pays; @
And when he comes, he usually stays
For many meals, and sometimes days.
Of course he's as welcome as he can
be,
For he never, never, takes a spree,
Except on the afternoons when he
Shall attend the store for F. V. 3,
His chief recreation is playing whist
In this rank he comes first on the list;
And at times he's quite handy with
his fist,
But alas! sometimes his prey he
has missed.
Messrs. Esser and Musch were be-
fore the county commissioners with a
road petition asking for a road over
the hill east of the depot, also for
new bridge across Des Laos creek.
They also got promise.
Mr.. Griffin returned from Minot
Monday, where he visited his daughter
Lois, at the Ringo hospital. She is
getting along very nicely after her
operation for appendicitis.
We are sorry to note our teacher,
Mabel Amundson, is quite sick this
week with quinsey. There will be no
school this week and probably part Of
next. It is too bad for both her and
the pupils, as they had it figured out
to day when she could go home and
the scholars could have four months

NEW HAMPSHIRE SHIPS
100000 XMAS TREES

Boston. Mass. Dec. 2l.--Almost
every train out of New England these
days carries from one to ten carloads
of Christmas trees II Is estimated
500. 900 trees IN all Will be shipped
from New Hampshire alone, with
probably half as many in Maine and
100000 from Vermont. and smaller
quantities from Massachusetts.
The Christmas tree market has
grown enormously within the past ten
years and each season notes an ad-
ditional demand so that farmers are
kept busy at a season when work on
the farm otherwise is dull

spruce or fir IL passed by in the met
ropoiitan markets. There is a de-
mand for ALI sizes. and now that mu-
nicipal Christmas trees are popular
in many cities, the biggest hemlocks
may be turned into money.
Even very tiny trees find a ready
sale, and these are used mainly In
hospitals. primary schools. and for
occasional family use where the pa
rents dress a tree for the baby OF the
family.
a good tree commands $40 or even

church tree.
Laurel, which lis found in abundance
in some parts OF New Hampshire, Is
in great demand. and ranks favorably
with the Southern laurel. There Is
great demand for ferns for altar dec
orations, and this industry has grown
astonishingly in the last year or two.
