4, C, WILL ADVANCE
MONEY TO SOLDIERS

Arrangements have been made by
the North Dakota Agricultural college
for advancing tuition, table board,
books and laundry to young men who
have been in the army or navy. This
can be repaid from the $25 per month
which North Dakota will pay all who
were in the service. This money will
not be available before April, but by
the above arrangement those who de-
sire to attend the Agricultural college
can begin the use of this money at
once.
The Agricultural college has courses
for all. In agriculture courses rang
ing from the winter short courses with
no entrance requirement to the four
year courses requiring high school
graduation. In engineering similar
courses are offered. There are also
courses in veterinary, pharmacy, teach
ing, chemistry and commercial courses
including grain grading and the sci
ences. The Agricultural college has
been designated as the college to teach
vocational teachers for the state as
provided for in the Smith-Hughes bill.
Everyone who is ambitious to i'm
prove his place in life can do SO by
spending some time at the North Da-
kota Agricultural college. The taking
of a course here has given many a new
outlook in life as we'll as a better po-
sition.

" eyes, and to have lost the power
of speech. Then from ~nerveless
hands his W cards fell face down
ward, still u%nrevealed, upon the table.
The next moment he was on his feet,
the chair in which he had been seated
flung crashing behind him on the deck.
"You thief!' he roared. "You dirty,
low-down thief; 1 held four aces
where did you get the fifth one?"
Kirby did not so much as move, nor
betray even by a change Of expression
his sense of the situation. Perhaps he
anticipated just such an explosion and
was fully prepared to meet it. One
hand still rested easily on the table,
the other remaining hidden.
$50 you claim to have held four
aces" he said coldly. "Where are
they?"
McAfee swept the discarded hand
face upward and the crowd bent for
ward to look at four aces and a king.
'That was the judges hanG," he de-
clared soberly. Il saw it myself be-
fore he called you, and. told him to
stay"
Kirby laughed-an ugly laugh show
ing his white teeth.
"The HI you did? Thought you
knew a good poker hand, I reckon.
Well, you see I knew a better one, and
it strikes me I am the one to ask ques-
tions," he ,sneered. "Look here, you
men; I held one ace from the shuttle.
Now what I want to know is where
Beaucaire ever got his four? Pleas
ant little trick of you two-only this
time it failed to work."
Beaucaire uttered one mad oath, and
I "endeavored to grasp him but missed
my clutch. The force of his lurching
body as he sprang forward upturned
the table, the stakes jingling to the
deck, but Kirby reached his feet in
time to avoid the shock. His hand,
which had been hidden, shot out sud
denly, the fingers grasping a revolver,
but he did not fire. Before the Judge
had gone half the distance he stopped,
reeled suddenly, clutching at his
throat, and plunged sideways. His
body struck the upturned table, but
McAfee and 1 grasped him, lowering
the stricken man gently to the floor.

PACIFIC FARMERS
FOR PLUMB PLAN
Washington AgricuIturists in
Big Movement for Public
Ownership

Farmers Of Washington favor the
Plumb plan of settling the railroad
question, according to John Storland,
of Kenewick, Wash, a farmer who is
visiting in Bismarck on his way east.
"The farmers of Washington, in al
lance with the railway brotherhoods
and the American Federation of Labor,
believe that the principles advanced by
Glenn e. Plumb as the way to take
over the railways are sound, and pre-
sent the most logical solution Of the
problem yet advanced in America"
Mr.. ~Storland declared.
"Out our way we cannot see sound
business judgment in turning a bank
rupt system back to private ownership
with the responsibility inevitably
thrust upon the nation anyway. Nor
can we see where it is good policy to
pay the present owners of the lines
some twenty billions in valuation
which they claim when it must be APP
parent to anyone that that sum repre-
sents billions of mere water.
"We farmers are of the opinion that
no system could be wOrse than to per-
nit financial pirates to continue to
exploit the railways, particularly as
the principles embodied in the Plumb
plan appear to be the way to eliminate
most Of the evils with which Wall
street interests have surrounded the
lines"
Mr.. Storland declared that the
triple alliance "had excellent chances"
of victory in Washington next year.
And one of the greatest assets of the
progressive movement in that state, he
declared, is the women's vote"
"The women of Washington are
more progressive than the men," he
asserted.
Mr.. Storland related that the farm
ers and workers are establishing a
daily newspaper in Spokane, which
they expect to see in operation by the
first of the year.

Service For SO Per Cent.


Congressional Investigation brings
out that the government purchased
copper to the value OF $153,334.47S
during the war. and that the cost Is
this copper to the producers was $10s,
OBS, 156. The profit was thus about
80 per cent. The big copper interests
headed by John D. Dyan OF the Anal
gamated Copper company, formed the
United Metal Selling companyfto deal
with the government. and this new
company was able 70 show the utmost
patriotism because the men who

profits. Ryan also has come IA for

knowledge the cold, sneering conf
dence Of Kirby brought with it a
strange fear. The man was a profess
sional gambler. What gave him such
recklessness? Why should he be so
eager to risk such a sum on an in
ferior hand? McAfee, sitting next
him, leaned over, managed to gain
swift glimpse at what he held, and
eagerly whispered to him a word of
encouragement. The Judge straight
ened up in his chair, grasped a filled
glass someone had placed at his elbow,
and gulped down the contents. The
whispered words, coupled with the
fiery liquor, gave him fresh courage.
"By heaven, Kirby, I'll do itw he
blurted out. "You can't bluff me on
the hand I've got. Give me a sheet
Of paper, somebody-yes, that will
do"
He scrawled a half-dozen lines,
fairly digging the pen into the sheet
in his fierce eagerness, and then
signed the document, flinging the pa-
per across toward Kirby.

PR0-RATED
TO Nd SHIPPERS
Distribution of Cars to be Based
on Reports F rom Different
Localities.

Rules regulating the supply Of
freight cars for grain shippers have
been issued by the state railway com-
mission. The number Of cars provided
for any shipper will be pro-rated
OF the basis of the amount of grain he
has ready relative to the total amount
in a given territory.
The rules follow:
each shipper of grain will notify
each carriers agent Of the total guam
tity of grain on hand rendered for rail
shipment. The ratio of the quantity so
reported by each shipper to the total
quantity reported by all shippers shall
be the percentage basis for the dis
tribution Of available cars at that sta
ton during the ensuing week for grain
loading.
each shipper of grain shall make
written order on the carriers agent for
cars wanted for grain loading, showing
the following information: Date of or
der, number of cars wanted Tin units
of 40 ton cars) and whether for sacked
or bulk grain; destinations; date
wanted TO load; quantity of each kind
Of grain on hand and conveniently To-
Gated for prompt loading rendered for
rail shipment; name of SLIPPER"
Orders must be served on the agents
Of each carrier where the shipper is on
more than one line.
"Such combined orders must not
exceed the total grain conveniently
located for prompt loading" the rules
say.
"Cars will not be furnished in excess
of a shippers ability to load and ship
promptly"
When a shippers share of cars
equals only a fraction Of a car, she
will be entitled to car supply on the
basis Of the aggregate of such frac-
tional Credits" the rules ado.
"The term prompt loading as used
In these rules is intended to mean
that a car placed not later than 10
a. m. must be loaded and billing In
structions rendered before the close Of
the day on which it is placed, failing
which, such car will be charged
against the shippers allotment as an
additional empty for each succeeding
day held for loading or billing instruc-
tions."
The regulations were issued by J. ii.
Calderhead, secretary of the commits
sion.

The imperturbable gambler read It
over slowly, carefully deciphering each
word, his chin lips tightly compressed.
"You. might add the words, This in
cludes every chattel slave legally be-
longing to me-" he said grimly.
'That is practically what, I did say"
"Then you can certainly have no
objection to putting it in the exact
words I choose" calmly. II intend to
have what is coming to me If I win,
and 7 know the law"
Beaucaire angrily wrote in the re-
CURED extra line.
"Now what?" he asked.
"Let McAfee there sign. it as a wit
ness, and then toss it over into the
pile" He smiled, showing a line Of
white teeth beneath his mustache.
"Nice little pot, conference.-the Judge
must hold some cards to take a chance
like that" the words uttered with a
sheer. "Fours, at least, or maybe he
has had the luck to pick a straight
flush."
Beaucaire's face Redeemed, and his
eyes brew hard.
"That's my business" he said terse-
ly. "Sign it, McAfee, and TIL call this
growing cockerel. You young fool, ]
played poker before you we're born.
There now, Kirby, I've covered your
bet"
"Perhaps you would prefer to raise
it?"
"You hell-hound-nol That is my
limit, and you know it. Don't crawl
now, or do any more bluffing. Show
your hand-I've called you"
Kirby sat absolutely motionless, his
cards lying face down upon the table,
the white fingers of one hand resting
lightly upon them, the other arm con-
cealed. He never once removed his
gaze from Beaucaire's face, and his
expression did not change, except for
the almost insulting or his lips.
The silence was profound, the deeply
interested men leaning forward, even
holding their breath in intense eager
ness. Each realized that a fortune
lay on the table; knew that the old
Judge had madly staked his all on the
value Of those five unseen cards
gripped in his fingers. Again, as
though to bolster up his shaken cour-
age, he stared at the face of each, then
lifted his bloodshot eyes to the i'm.
passive face opposite.
"Beaucaire drew two kayards,'
| whispered an excited voice near me.
"Hell! So did Kirby" replied an.
other. They're both Of 'em old
hands"
The sharp exhaust of a distant
steam pipe below punctuated the 81.
lence, and several glanced about ap.
~prehensively. AS this noise ceased
Beaucaire lost all control over his
nerves.
"Come on, play your hand" he de
handed, "or I'll throw my cards In
your face"
The insinuating on Kirby's
lips changed into the semblance of 8
smile. Slowly, deliberately, never
once glancing down at the face of his
cards, he turned them up n by ont
with his white fingers, his challenging
eyes OF the Judge; but the others saw
what. was revealed-a ten-sp0t,
knave, a queen, a king and an ace.
