Eastern Magazine Writes
of Art n'N0yth Dakota
By ALTMAN

In the December number of the Am
erican Magazine appears an article
which will interest residents of North
Dakota. 1t follows.
"There is an agricultural college in
North Dakota which is carrying on an
interesting and valuable work to ex-
tend both the knowledge and appreci-
alton of art. The work there is Pc
culiar to a new country, and those
who have it in charge consider their
mission as two-fold: First, to try to
, cultivate in those who want to 60 on
farms an appreciation of all things
beautiful and an ability to beautify
their surroundings, with the belief
that this fuller life will keep them on
| the land; second, to select those who
show real talent and direct them
along the course which will best meet
their individual needs and abilities.
; The Minneapolis institute of Art has
given a scholarship this year to this
school and last year sent an exhibit
of students work there, which has
been passed on to the other institu-
tions. Arrangements have been made
by which school exhibits have been
sent to this agricultural college in the
far west during the present season
from the Pennsylvania Academy Of
Fine Arts, the school of Boston Mus
cum of Fine Arts and the Chicago Art
Institute. 1t is interesting to note
that in this city where this school is
located there are two music conserva-
tories, two dramatic schools, theatres,

Says DR.. Edwards, a Weil-known
Ohio Physician

Dr.. F. NJ Edwards for II years
treated scores of women for liver and
bowel ailments. During these years he
gave to his patients prescription made
of few we;l-known vegetable ingredi-
ents mixed with olive oil naming them
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, you will
know them by their olive color.
These tablets are wonder workers on
the liver and bowels, which cause nor
NAL action, carrying off the waste and
poisonous matter in ones system.
If you have pale face, sallow look,
dull eyes, pinples, coated tongue, head
aches, listless, no-good feeling, all out
of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one
of Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly
for a time and note tic pleasing results.

ing is being arranged and luncheon

free concerts and a short grand opera
season, all of which signifies an awak-
cning Of esthetic interest. or course
there are some who fear, strange as
it may seem, that acknowledge and ap-
probation of these finer things in life
may distract the youth from the more
serious purpose of living, that by be-
coming sensitive to beauty in these
varying forms, they will lose their
sense of that which is practical and
be led away from those things which
are supposedly more sturdy. But this
problem is not peculiar to North Da'
kota."
The agricultural college mentioned
is the state Agricultural College of
Fargo. This work is under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Mamie Douglas Rindlaub.
She reports considerable interest in
this department which is steadily
growing.

MANY IN BISMARCK
VERY SIMPLE MIXTURE

Many Bismack people are surprised
at the QUICK action Of simple buck.
thorn bark, glycerine, ETC., as mixed
in Adler-i-ka. This simple remedy
acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel
removing such surprising foul matter
that ONE SPOONFUL relieves al
most ANY CASE constipation, sour
stomach or gas. A few doses often re-
lieve or prevent appendicitis. A short
treatment helps chronic stomach
trouble. The INSTANT, easy action
OF Adler-ika is astonishing. Joseph

CHARGE some FARMERS
WORKED" COMPANIES
Insurance Concerns Contend That
Farmers Obtained Policies on
Crops Already Destroyed.

That many farmers have through
fraudulent means procured the
insurance on crops already lost are
the claims of crop insurance COM
panies which are resisting the pay
ment Of policies written in North
Dakota, advises State Insurance
Commissioner 5. A. Oisness.
Complaints were made to the state
insurance commissioner some time
ago, alleging that insurance
companies which last spring
wrote policies covering crops
in the northwestern corner OF the
state were 'reniging" on their
bargains, and attempting to induce
policy holders to accept the return
of their premiums in lieu Of the face
value of their policies.>
According to the insurance COM
panies, there are two sides to this
question. In frequent instances, the.
insurance companies claim, invests
cation has revealed that at the time
their policies were written crops
already were recognized as a total
loss and were plowed under soon aft
err the delivery OF the policies. The
companies allege. they face bank
ruptcy If they make an effort to meet
all Of these alleged fraudulent
claims.
1.-THE case is one which merits the
closest investigation" said the insur-
ance commissioner, and this de-
partment does not care to commit it
self to a statement until 1t ID in full
possession Of the facts.
