May Establish Wood Yard

A village meeting has been warned for
Thursday evening, Oct. IL, at town hall
to see if the voters will instruct the vii.
lage authorities to establish a municipal
wood yard, in accordance with a law
passed by the last general assembly. In
view of the fuel situation in Morrisvile
at the present time, there will doubtless
be large attendance.
IL has been almost impossible for many
families to get wood of any kind the past
few weeks, the Morse mill being able to
supply only part of the orders received.
The only relief yet offered is by E. G.
Foss, who says he will have a thousand
cords of hard wood, which he is begin
ming to deliver. Mr.. Foss stated at a
public meeting last spring that he would
supply that amount at the 1916 prices,
and he intends to make good.

j. Brand, chief of the federal bureau
Of markets at Washington, has been
petitioned by Attorney General Lang
err of. North(Dakota; asking that tia

Hill Special" Wife !
Comes Pretty High

Minot, N. D., Nov. 22.-According
to reports, the Hill Matrimonial
Agency which used its inufience to
furnish lonely North Dakota bachelors
with Chicago wives, has received a
severe jolt.
Shortly after the Hill special last
winter. which carried hundreds of
well-to-do bachelors to the national
stock show, letters came pouring in
by the thousapds from forlorn maid
n who intifnated that they were in
a receptive mood to consider matters
OF q matrimonial nature. Chicago
papers had printed pictures of some
Of the most likely prospects, with
their addresses. and scores of young
women inserted advertisements in the
columns of the Chicago papers, in
hopes of catching husbands. A good
looking young woman from chicago
ensnared a thrifty husband living in
the western part Of Ward county and
wrote letters back to the Chicago pa
pers telling about the wonders Of a
life on a North Dakota farm: with the
husky husband. the comfortable
home. and the garden. the wonderful
sunrise. ETC., and advised her friends
to get busy n come out to make life
happier for the forlorn North Dakota
bachelors as well a for themselves. It
is now stated that the glamour after
a few weeks has apparently worn of,
and that the young woman has taken
the train back to her old home.
Friend husband is said to face di-
vorce proceedings and tits said that
he had to place a $500 mortgage on
his farm to get Friq6d Wife to sigp
a release. The home product appears
to be the better after all. 1t doesn't
pay to ~patronize Sears Roebuck, ever
to secure a wife.
