North Dakota Independent Will
Ask Permission of Commission
to Raise Rates

The North Dakota railroad commits.

the North Dakota Independent Tele.
phone company for permission to in
crease the rates charged in Bismarck.
Pleas for and against the proposed in.
crease will be received, and upon the
evidence produced, the commission
will base its decision in granting or
withholding the advance.
The telephone company contends
that the raise is necessitated by the
heavy expense which is being incur
red in placing the wires underground
and that the schedule proposed is no
higher than paid by other cities OF
Bismarck's class in North Dakota.
The hearing will begin at 9 o'clock
this morning and will be open to the
public generally.

perience inthe catering business.

Mr.. Winship was in Bismarck for

Mildred Tells Her Story.

l am very unfortunate little robin. My home was high up on a limb of a Norway maple in front Of q little girls house.
 My brothers and sisters were so un- kind to me that they crowded me out of my home and l fell a long distance to the ground. I was much frightened and shaken up, tool
 The little girIs mother seeing what had fall l had, picked me up and put nc in a strawberry basket. then put me in an elm tree near by.
 l was delighted with my new home, but longed to see my brothers and sisters. My mother was real good to me and l grew very fast.
 The lady watched me from day to day to see that her pet cat, Erastus did not get me and eat me up.
 In 5 few days I was able to fly.
 One morning my mother went to prepare my breakfast for me, and when she returned home I had flown. She was much surprised as well as disappointed.
 I never saw her again, for I flew down to Mexico, and now, boys and girls, I must leave you, for my little head is getting tired.

Likes the Woods.

I live near the woods and haTQ. many fine times in them.
 One day last summer I went to the woods to ge. some berries. I went to a different place this time instead Of the ones I had been going to be- fore. The berries were very plentiful and soon I had my pail almost full.
 All of a sudden I burst through the bushes into @ small space where, right before me, stood a huge rock. It was leaning against another of the same size. There was a large hole at the bottom of these, so l went in. The space was large enough for me to stand up in.
 l like to explore things, so I went in farther. Soon the cave came to an abrupt end. My foot went into an open space. I drew back and found a stone which I dropped into the hole. A sound came back as soon as it left my hand I dropped into the hole and soon landed on some leaves and sticks which had fallen through a hole in the top of the cave. I tried to stand up. but bumped my head on the roof, SC I Crawled along on my hands and knees.
 All of sudden I ran into the open sunshine. I then found myself in a thicket of briars and after being scratched on my hands and face finally got out and started for home
 I have kept this a secret ever since last year, and you are the first one have told it to.
 I hope all the Wide-Awakes have good times in the woods.

BETTY'S HAPPIEST SUNDAY

Betty was a lonely little girl in spite of the fact that she lived in a grand house and was surrounded by every luxury. While she was envied by less fortunate children, she also enVied them because she saw that many of them had more freedom and were al- lowed to play while she was told she must be a little lady and could never go out alone.
 Her mother died when she Ivas .yery young and her fathers business kept him away a good part of the time. so she was left to the care of servants who thought she had eHarythine she needed, not knowing how her little heart ached for real love.
 She took much pleasure in watching he five children who lived in a hllun- ole cottage near her home at play. She would sit by the window and rock and often in her imagination she would be put there playing with them.
 One Saturday night as she was amusing herself in this way. she raised Inc window just a little 50 she might near their voices. She noticed that hey didn't play as usual, but seemed 70 stay in a little group talking, and the heard the oldest boy say, If we font have a real, Sundayedinn sit.wilI geen just like an or1inary day; but et us pretend we don't know what laysie~is and eat just a cieerfdny as f we were eating something good I; md, then, perhaps, mother won't feel Jo sad and you know we must dos all Rs uAa1l to make vher&h &happY. because hnoesfather died fshe .liass worked hard
