TIN LIZZIE GOES
UP IN SMOKE CLOU
Disconnected Feed Pipe Causes Dam
to Car.

Charles j. Barnett of this
city, travelling representative
for C. j. Linaker & Co, had an
exciting experience with his
"tin lizzie" while returning
from Nashville late uesday af-
ternoon which resulted fatally
to the Ford.
Mr.. Barnett, in company
with r. w. Patterson, was .
mile or so south of Nashville
on the home stretch when Mr..
Patterson noticed fire escaping
from the hood of the machine
and did not wait for a slow-up
but spread his wings and sailed
out while the car was making
about thirty miles an hour. He
called Mr.. Barnett's attention
to the fire before leaping and
the blaze, caused from the flow
of gasoline through a discon.
nected feed pipe, almost GOV
cred the machine before h,
could bring it to a stop.
The car was a stripped dowI
Ford with a special racer bee
built on the chassis, and tn,
fire burned all wood parts from
the body, one tire and one whee
before the fuel gave out.
Mr.. Barnett and Mr.. Patter
son left the wrecked car at tn
side of the road and caught
passing car to Washington.
The motor and other meta
parts were only slightly dan
aged and the car will be rebuilt

Mr.. Chas. Hill, who has beer

'the Telegraph man that he has

About ninety per cent of the

of North Dakota are in debt
$500, 100000. That looks bad
doesn't it? But how about the
wealth that the farmers have
accumulated? The financial
condition of an individual or a
community is measured, not by
what is owned or" by what is
owed alone, but by the relation
that these two things bear to
each other. If a man owes 800
and has property worth 5000,
he is 500 to the good. In the
process of time he owes 5000
and has 81 900 worth Of property.
His Indebtedness is doubled,
which some speakers seem to
consider as alarming. But his
property holdings have increased
five-fold, and his net property
worth has increased fOur-fold.
Notwithstanding his increased
Indebtedness his condition has
been improved.
Indebtedness is not a sign Of
poverty. 1t may be an accom-
paniment of high state Of pros
perity. The greater part of the
indebtedness of the farmers of
the northwest has been incurred
in the purchaser of additional
land, the making of permanent
Improvements, and the purchase
of improved stock. Where these
investments have been wisely
made it has been good business
to borrow the money for them.
And that they have. in the main,
been wisely made is evidenced
by the improved conditions on
the farms.

NOT A NEW SCHEME.

The cooperative plan Of merchan-
dlsine has been tried times without
number, and the history of the
movement has been marked with
conspicuous failures and some sue
cesses.
New England went through an
era of cooperative stores. The
store buildings are still standing,
but the stores have other owners.
But yesterday we discovered that
the Townley plan Of chain stores has
also been tried before. Yes. it was
in Kansas.
It seems that a number Of years
ago a certain DR.. Ball worked the
Townley scheme in Kansas and ex-
ttracted a comfortable profit for him
self from the farmers Of that state.
The Farmers Union, the official
organ of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative union, has this
comment on the Townley plan:
'It is a revival in North Da- e
ICota of the same scheme that DR..
E3ail worked WIN SO uluCll pIoiAL
to himself among the farmers Of
Kansas a few years ago. There
are a few improvements, from the
promoters point Of view, on the
Ball plan. There are no changes
that throw any additional safe
guards about the money or the
interests of the subscribers, the
men who put up the cash and
are expected to furnish the bust
ness. DIR. Ball did make some
pretense Of permitting his dupes
to participate in the manage
ment and the promised profit Of
the Ball Manufacturing COM
pauy. Townley bars the men
who put up the money from the
management or from any share
in the profits Of the business.
From the promoters standpoint,
the arrangement is ideal. When the
promoter is able to tell the men who
furnish both the money and the bust
ness that what becomes of either is
none Of their damned business,
what more can be asked?
We never heard Of DR.. Ball before,
but whoever he was, he was a tyrO
at the game-a bungling amateur.
