The war on the cigaret opened
last March. when statement was
issued under the head of The To-

following:
The Board of Temperance will
publish millions of educational
leaflets on the nicotine poison and
the doped cigarets, hoping to pre-
vent boys from taking up the prac-
tice or parents from allowing their
! children to fall victims to the

appalling facts on the matter from
the battlefront. how that young

GRAMS GOES INTO !.
RAISING HOGS.

There Ia an old saying that "pfgs
is pigs'', but that was In the days
of grandfather. Quite a few years
ago Deg Drew Of near this city con-
vinced himself that all pigs were
not just plain pigs, and started
raising what he considered the best
breed Of pigs that could be secured.
During the past winter our popular
grain and coal man, R. A. Grams,
came to the conclusion that all pigs
were not just plain pigs, but that
those that Mr.. Drew was raising
were not much better than the or
dinary, and he decided to raise a
breed which he, considered superior
to any Of the others. Several weeks
ago he ordered a Hampshire boar.
and when this arrived he was more
satisfied than ever that there were
better pigs than the red ones that
Deg Drew was raising, and he plac-
ed an order for two bred Hamp-
shire sows. These will arrive
within the next few days, and Will
litter In April. The Hampshire
pigs, which are unusually popular
in the east, are all black with the
exception of white strip about six
or, eight inches wide running over
the aback from one front foot to the
other. They are very prolific, rails
ing ten and twelve pigs to a litter,
and many times fifteen. and they
q ow unusually fast. At the state
I and county fairs in the east this
breed invariably takes all the pre-
mlums, but the farmers in the west
have not started raising them yet
OIL large scale. Mr. Grams lin
tends to put up first class hog
house In the spring on ono of his
farms, and also fence in quite a
large tract Of land which he will
seed to various grasses which hogs
like to eat. He will not have
very large number of porkers next
summer, but hopes to be raising
several hundred in another year or
more. If these Hampshire hogs
do half of what is claimed for them,
Mr.. Grams plans on devoting all
Of his time toward raising them.

NEW TRIAL FOR
TRACK SLEEPER

Bismarck, N. D., March 2s.-
Judge J. M. Hanley. of the Twelfth
district court, is reversed in an op-
inion handed down by the supreme
court here holding that Edmund
Dubs, 9-year-old boy, was not
guilty of gross and criminal neglt-
gence when he fell asleep on tho
tracks of the Northern Pacific rail-
way near New Leipzig, continuing
to slumbet until he was under the
wheels of q Northern Pacific loco
motive which severed one arm and
leg.
This happened in 1912, when
young Dubs was herding cattle.
His shepherd dog lay on the track
with him. The engineer either did
not see the boy and dog on the
track, or concluded that they were
playing possum and did not slow
down until It was too late. In dis
trict court at Mandan a trial jury
awarded the boy q $4,000 verdict.
Judge Hanley set aside this judg-
ment, and Rudolph Dubs. guardian
for the injured boy, appealed to
the supreme court.

TO HOLD BIG SALE
At NORTHGATE

The first b1 6 money raising sale
to be held at Northgate since that
city was put on the map is to be
held by the Hager & Leslie Co.
commencing on Saturday of this
week, and will last for seven days.
A full page ad in this issue Of The
Tribune gives a large number Of
the bargains that are to be had,
but according to Mr.. Hager 1t would
take several pages to fully describe
all the goods that have been put on
the bargain counter, and which can
be bought at greatly reduced prices.
Messrs. Hager and Leslie are both
expereniced merchants, and there
is absolutely no dead stock in their
store. Every article carried Is
new and up-to-date and of the very
best quality. It has been a notice.
able fact that no cheap and shoddy
goods were ever carried in this
store, and the people Of Northgate
and vicinity have learned that ev-
erything bought here could be de-
pended upon to be the best. With
their merchandising experience this
firm has bought each year only as
much goods as could be sold, and
bought a new stock every year.
Farmers living north of town can
save considerable money by driving
to Northgate some day next week
and pick out what they will need
during the next few months. At
the present high cost of living every
person who can should take advan-
tage of this sale, and thereby save
us much as possible in living ex-
penses. W
