maximum effort in this crisis unless
the Government will fix a minimum
price which is not subject to ruinous
changes caused by spectators. Too
often high prices are not received by
the farmer himself but by the gam
blers in food products.
every farmer should favor the
recommendation of the Secretary of
Agriculture that the National Coun-
ell of Defense be given power to reg
ulate prices if necessary for success

A Symbol OF Health.

The Pythagorians Of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temper
ance and purity. AS badge they
used the five-pointed star which they
regarded as a symbol of health. A
red five-pointed star appears on each
package of Chamberlain's Tablets,
and still fulflls its ancient mission
as a symbol of health. If you are
troubled with indigestion, biliousness
or constipation, get package of these
tablets from your druggist. You will
be surprised at the quick relief which
they afford. 0btainable everywhere.

IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS

1t does not appear to be generally
known in this city that the Sunshine
Special, the fast train on the Iron
Mountain, receives passengers at
Bismarck for all points south where
that train stops. It has been doing
this for the past year. This train
reaches Bismarck about $40 p. m.
This obviates the necessity Of going to
st. Louis in order to make long trips
west or south.

ALFALFA FOR GREENS"

Ancestry is the boast of those who
have nothing else of which to boast.

There are two good rules which
ought to be written on every heart:
Never to believe anything bad about
anybody unless you positively know
it to be true; never to tell even that
unless you feel that it is absolutely
necessary

New York, April 25.-(WaH Street)
u. $. Steel was the noteworthy fea-
ture of to-day's early trading, the
hrst transaction in that stock con-
sisting of $4,000 shares at 112H to
112% gain of 1ss points, in recogni-
tion of the extra 3 per cent. dividend
declared yesterday. Advances of a
point were registered by other indus
trials, equipments and supply issues,
with point for Baltimore and Ohio
and half a point for Union Pacific.
Much of the initial advance was soon
lost, Steel reacting almost a point on
profit taking. Ohio Gas, oils and
shippings also fell back.
The setback after the opening
proved of brief duration, leaders
speedily throwing off professional
pressure. Steel rebounded from its
minimum of Ill Is to 11S1a and Utah
Copper led the metals, advancing 2 II
points on announcement of heavy
government purchases. Ohio Gas
