Mamie Gets a Watch

Heck Mamie is the proud possessor
of fine Howard watch given him by
Il. c. Probst. the jeWeler. The
watch is the reward offered by Mr..
Probst to the person who would tell
him how many beans were in a jar
displayed at the store during the
holidays. Mamie came within one
of the correct number when he wrote
the figures 3574 on a card and
placed it in box. The number was
just one bean short. Harry Eames
was next with 3572 and Anton
Watzke was third with 1868. Miss
Britt, of sChokio, headed the women
guessers with $3.50. The guessers
ranged from 312 to SO, 900.
Something like 5000 persons reg
istered their names in the contest
and the majority of then. made fig
ures below the $500 mark. The
beans were contained in a two-quart
jar and were assorted sizes.

RIDES COST MORE
AFTER JANUARY Is.
Railroads Entering this City
Have Notified Agents to Ad-
vance Price on Tickets

Morris railway ticket agents have
been notified that on and after Janu-
ary Is the price on single tickets in
Minnesota or interstate travel will be
advanced from 2 cents a mile to "a
cents. Morris people who travel on
or after that date will have to dig
up more money, buy an automobile or
walk.
Mileage books advanced in price
last week when 5000 mile books
jumped from $50 to $3.50. These
books are issued by the Western Pas
senger Association and are good for
travel in Minnesota, North and South
Dakota where the single fare is two
and one half cents a mile. The
new rate is made possible by a
Federal ruling. The Great Northern,
N. P. and 500 roads issue these
books. All the other roads entering
the northwest are confning their
sales to 1000 mileages.
The new rates on the mileage
books went into effect here on Dec.
20 but there was no increased de-
mand for them before the price was
advanced. In the twin cities the
three roads named were fairly
swamped with business. Many of the
jobbers and Wholesale houses took
advantage of the opportunity to get
the books at the old rate and stocked
up for at least two years.

Numbering of Houses

Arrangements have been made to
furnish and put up numbers on all
houses. The numbers are made of
aluminium 3 inches, and will be put
up for 20 cents. It would be con-
venient to have location of numbers
decided and charge ready when the
man calls and puts them up.

THINGS LIGHTNING
 DOES NOT DAMAGE

Lightning, that mysterious force generated in the power house of na- ture, which often sets fire to hay stacks, frame houses and barns, has never been known to seriously dam age:
 Railroad trains or locomotives. Buildings with metallic grounded sides and roofs. Buildings which have frameworks composed wholly of metal. Grounded steel windmill towers. Steel battleships and cruisers. Business blocks and apartment houses in cities. The explanation of this phenomena is simple, for most of these objects conduct electricity so we'll that elec- tricity induced on the earth is drawn up through them and dispersed into
 the atmosphere, thus dissipating the
 charge of electricity before it becomes strong enough to produce a flash. If
 a lightning stroke to one of these ob- I jects does occur, the mass of metal entering into it's composition will usually conduct the current safely to the ground.

But she said what she said about half a dozen times-not mad, only just whin- ing and complaining and like she ex- pected it. The trouble was, she said it so many times.
 "'When you go on so, I don't care how l track up,' says Pa, and dropped down to the table. He filled up his plate and doubled down over it, and Ma and got ours."

state government is about $10O,O00 per month, in addition to which the legislature will meet in January and its expense is around $15O,OOO. Treas ury officials say that alleged statisti- cians who call attention to the mil lion dollar balanceS do not take into consideration the fact that over $1,- 750,OO0 of this balance consists of bonds, and that of the cash only a certain percentage, that composing the general revenue fund, may be ap- piled to the expenses of government.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
December Went to 17.15, High est Quotation Ever Recorded Weather Map Will be Close 1y Watched This Week.

New Orleans, Oct. 15.-Fluctua- tions of more than half cent a pound in the active months featured the trading in cotton last week. Mon days slump of from $2 to $3 bale, following the German submarine raid off the American coast, was succeeded by an advance to new high levels for traded up to 1715, the highest quota traded up to 17-15, the highest quota tion ever recorded on that option. Middling was raised to 16.81 cents pound, record price at this time of the year for spots. At the lowest of the week the active months were 50 to 60 points under the previous weeks close; at the highest they were 30 to 45 points over. Prices moved over range of from 80 to 108 points. Last prices were at net gain for the week of 32 to 38 points.
 The main stimulating features of the week were the spot demand re- ports of less liberal spot offerings and accounts of huge sales ahead of cot ton goods at very high prices.
 This week the trade will be chiefly concerned with ginning returns, since the present ginning period will end Tuesday. The weather map will be rather more closely watched than usual because the average date of the first killing frost has been passed without bringing cold spell of inn portance.

ALLIES MAKE GAINS
 ALONG THE SOMME
Berlin Admits British Obtain "A Firm FOOthold" North of ThiepvalHFrench Also Go Forward.

London, Oct. 15.-Both the French and British troops made further ad- vances on the Somme front today, one on one side and one on the other side of the river, according to both the Paris and London war office state ments, corroborated by the German war office at Berlin, which admits that at one point north of Thiepval the invaders gained a firm foothold." 7" Likewise the Berlin war office admits the fact that the French gained a foothold in the village and sugar fac tory of Genermont. German counter attacks were repulsed, according to the French statement, and German re- ports do not deny the fact. The French report adds that all the gains have been consolidated.
 The support afforded by the French aeroplanes is acknowledged by the of tlcial statement issued at Paris, in the operations south of the Somme. and the statement gives special credit to Sergeant Lufberry of New Haven, Conn.,, member of the Franco-Amer- ican flying corps, who brought down his fifth adversary.
 In the Stuff and Schwaben enter prises undertaken by the British at that part of the Somme front com plete success was attained, more than 300 German prisoners being taken. In the Thiepval operations referred to it appears from the German statement that the infantry engaged at close quarters, and-to-hand fighting being reported.

DISCOVERY OF GRAND CANYON

The first white men to see the Grand Canyon of the Colorado were Cardenas and his 12 companions, who were guided there by Hopi Indians from Tusayan. Cardenas was sent by Coronado to find the wonderful river of which De Tovar had heard from the Indians. He remained four days on the rim at some point now unknown, looking in vain for a way to descend. It is always interesting to recall the heroic trip made by Maj. J. w. Powell down the Grand Canyon in small boats when practically noth- ing was known of it's course or char acter. His journey began at Green River, Wyo., May "A, 1869, and was notably successful.
