WATERMELON A LA FILIPINO
WellMeant Effort Of Native Chef

The Filipinos. II seems, have more
than one way Of serving watermelon.
The melons grown In the far eastern

lusclousness Of melon from his own
sunny southland. So his family In
Tennessee carefully Grated choice
watermelon and shipped It to him by
express. II cost him good many
pesos, but no matter. II was a beauty
and arrived In perfect condition.
He instructed the cook to prepare a
good dinner that very day; the splen-
did melon was to be served as a crown
ing glory. The provincial treasurer.
the school teacher and the few Ameri-
cans In the town were invited to par
take of a treat that was to be sur
prise to them.
The dinner went forward success
fully; but there was much curiosity
concerning the surprise that the host
had promised his guests, and all eyes
were turned frequently toward the
door through which II vas expected to
appear. At last It came. The cook en-
tered, bearing aloft an immense plat
ter. and there came from the company
a chorus of "Ahsl" The platter was
placed on the table under halo, no, a
cloud of-steam. The melon was
boiled, thoroughly boiled.

feet with the carving knife In his hand
convinced the cook that he had better

Not InfaIllbIe.

Human judgment cannot be infalli-
BILE, no matter how broad the mind or
keen the intellect. Appearances are
10 deceptive that even the most expe-
rienced judge Of character may fail TO
reach as good an estimate Of man as
the humble ignorant scrub woman,
who cleans out his offices daily. Many
successful men realize this great lack
In themselves, and appreciate the
power that is IN the hands Of de-
voted wife and real helpmate. They
would not think Of entering into n
partnership or big business deal
without first arranging to hear the
opinion formed by her whom they have
learned to look MP to and confide In.
And. indeed, a man can scarcely pay
higher tribute to a woman than the
trust he shows in her instinct.

That the soldiers have no considera-

cerned is the gist of Kamplin's next
statement. ~
"Of course they both felt that our
proposition was a worthy one, but
Lemke said:" III "
:. "'It would not be fair to appoint
you so long as the other paper is own
ed by farmers "
"They wondered if it would not be
possible to combine with the other pa
per, to which replied that it could not
be done. There is no one who under
stands the problems of the soldiers
and sailors as we'll as they do them
selves and we could not delegate some
one else to take charge of our affairs" "
Kemplin refers to letters from var
ious officials and then says:
"Lemke was the chief spokesman at
our interview and Hagan merely
agreed with him. I have concluded
that the league officials at Bismarck
are mere puppets and that Lemke and
Townley are the government Of North
Dakota. They pull the strings and
the others dance accordingly"
Kamplin is not discouraged and de-
clares that even though he failed at
getting official help for the soldiers
and sailor paper, if the service men
in the stxl,n want publication he will
start it aE&e ~.

INVESTMENT HOUSE
IS ESTABLISHED

It is with a great deal of pleasure
we learn that Theodore S. Henry of
this city has made arrangements to
sell high grade investment securities.
Captain Henry who has recently re-
turned from France was raised in
North Dakota and his business; life
was spent in Valley City, He says,
Before engaging in this business /
carefully studied the situation and
find that the people of this state need
high grade securities in which to in
vest their money, getting sure and
good return without any risk to the
principal. have made arrangements
to sell high class foreign government,
municipal and corporation bonds. The
cheapest and best investment in the
world today is a bond. The United
States government have shown US
what a good investment bonds are,
not only keeping the principal safe
but giving US a good return twice each
year. Some of these bonds pay as
high as l-2 per cent per annum, and
of couse back of them are earnings,
security and also the most reliable
and we'll known banking houses in the
world, and every issue has been thor
oughly examined and investigated by
experts. A person with only 500
can buy bond and buying bonds is
means of saving"
We wish Captain Henry success in
his new undertaking for any enter
prise is worthy Of success that Will
save the people from putting their
money into wildcat propositions
which have been floating around the
country and which are always full of
promises but no returns.
